This crazy stat puts Celtics’ Game 1 win vs. Nets into perspective originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Were the Boston Celtics lucky to win Game 1 of their first-round NBA playoff series against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday afternoon?
It depends on how you look at it.
On one hand, the Celtics led for large stretches of the game and did an excellent job defending Nets superstar Kevin Durant. Boston also outrebounded Brooklyn by a 43-29 margin and dominated scoring in the paint by a 56-32 margin. Despite those advantages, it took a buzzer-beating layup from Jayson Tatum to secure a 115-114 victory.
Forsberg: Why Tatum’s buzzer-beater is a crucial step forward for C’s
That said, the Celtics couldn’t defend Nets superstar Kyrie Irving, who exploded for a game-high 39 points. The Nets also shot an impressive 53.8 percent from the field and 45.8 percent from the 3-point line.
In fact, the Celtics had lost 16 consecutive games entering Sunday when the opponent shot 53.8 percent or better, per Sean Grande of 98.5 The Sports Hub.

The Celtics emerging from Game 1 with a win after allowing the Nets to shoot such a high percentage is pretty impressive. The C’s had a bunch of good defensive moments, including a couple blocks on Durant shot attempts, but there is still plenty of room for improvement.
Game 2 is Wednesday night at TD Garden. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/this-crazy-stat-puts-celtics-game-1-playoff-win-vs-nets-into-perspective/151972/ | 2022-04-18T22:43:32Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/this-crazy-stat-puts-celtics-game-1-playoff-win-vs-nets-into-perspective/151972/ | false | 1 |
Here’s a collection curated by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists of what’s arriving on TV, streaming services and music platforms this week.
MOVIES
— “The Batman,”the biggest box-office hit so far this year, will promptly land Monday on HBO Max immediately following its 45-day run in theaters. As a response to the pandemic and a way to boost its streaming service, Warner Bros. last year premiered its films simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max. This year, the studio’s new releases begin streaming after 45 days in theaters — or about half what the traditional theatrical window once was. “The Batman,” directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, showcases a relatively young Batman, new to vigilantism and struggling with its burdens. In my review, I called the three-hour film “a morose mood piece, soaked in shadow and rage, that has stripped the comic’s archetypes down to abstracted silhouettes and grubbily human characters.” Following its streaming debut, “The Batman” will also air on HBO on Saturday.
— “Navalny” is a bracing documentary portrait of one of Vladimir Putin’s fiercest and most vocal political foes in Russia. Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader, is currently imprisoned. Last month, he wassentenced to nine years in jailafter being found guilty for fraud in a case critics call politically motivated. “Navalny,” directed by Daniel Roher, was largely filmed in late 2020 and early 2021 while Navalny was recuperating in Germany after an attempted assassination with nerve agent poisoning. The film premieres on CNN and CNN+ on Sunday. (It will also stream on HBO Max at a later date.) In her review, AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr said “Navalny” “has all the makings of a Hollywood thriller” and is “even more chilling and prescient” after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
— Timed to Earth Day, the Walt Disney Co. will debut “Polar Bear” on Friday, on Disney+. The Disneynature documentary, narrated by Catherine Keener, follows a mother polar bear and her cubs. It’s directed by Alastair Fothergill and Jeff Wilson, who also helmed Disneynature’s “Penguins.”
—- AP Film Writer Jake Coyle
MUSIC
— In the same month Bonnie Raitt’s “Nick of Time” was inducted into the National Recording Registry, the singer-songwriter proves she’s not slowing down by offering a new 10-track album, “Just Like That…” It’s her 21st LP and her first in over six years. The terrific first single is one of her grooviest, “Made Up Mind,” with slinky slide chords and bluesy riffs. Raitt produced the record herself, working alongside mixing engineer Ryan Freeland, who combined with Raitt to win a Grammy for best Americana album for their work on her 2012 effort, “Slipstream.”
— Brian May’s second solo album, 1998’s “Another World” was well received even if it didn’t set the charts on fire. So on Friday the guitarist and songwriter with rock group Queen is giving it another chance with a deluxe reissue. The set contains the remastered original album alongside a 15-track disc which offers unreleased remixes, rarities, live tracks and cover versions, including his tribute version of Buddy Holly’s rock ‘n’ roll classic “Maybe Baby.”
— AP Entertainment Writer Mark Kennedy
TELEVISION
— Barry Berkman is certain it’s the actor’s life for him and works hard at his craft — while clearing away obstacles posed by his previous career, hit man. As HBO’s dark comedy “Barry” returns for its pandemic-delayed third season, the Midwest transplant to Los Angeles looks inward to understand what made him a gun for hire. Bill Hader stars as the title character and co-created the Emmy-winning show airing Sunday and streaming on HBO Max. Along for the ride: Henry Winkler as Barry’s former acting teacher and Sarah Goldberg as Barry’s girlfriend.
— “Better Call Saul” and its star, Bob Odenkirk, brilliantly carried on the legacy of “Breaking Bad,” but the time has come to say goodbye to the spinoff-prequel. Or more accurately, start a long farewell, with the show’s sixth and last season split into two. The first of seven episodes airs Monday on AMC and AMC+, with the final six debuting July 11. It’s been a wait for fans of Saul Goodman, the eminently sketchy lawyer also known as Jimmy McGill, since season five ended in April 2020. There was a pandemic-caused production delay and, during this season’s taping, a health issue for Odenkirk that affected taping.
— “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” the 1976 film starring David Bowie and directed by Nicolas Roeg, was based on Walter Tevis’ eponymous novel. Both the film and the book are cited as inspiration for Showtime’s drama series of the same name. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as the newly reworked alien character who arrives on Earth at “a turning point in human evolution.” Naomie Harris co-stars as a scientist who joins in the mission to save two worlds, with Bill Nighy, Jimmi Simpson and Kate Mulgrew also in the mix. “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” created by “Star Trek” TV series veterans Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet, debuts Sunday.

Apollo Global Management is interested in helping finance a bid for Twitter following Elon Musk’s $US43 billion ($58 billion) unsolicited offer to take the company private, according to people familiar with the matter.
Apollo is considering backing a potential deal for Twitter and could provide Musk or another bidder like private equity firm Thoma Bravo LP with equity or debt to support an offer, the people said, declining to be named because the discussions are private. The participation could come in the form of credit or preferred equity, one of the people said.
The Wall Street Journal earlier reported Apollo’s interest.
Twitter shares posted their biggest gain in two weeks on Monday after the social media company launched a poison pill defence to thwart Musk’s bid to take the company private at $US54.20 a share.
Morgan Stanley is advising Musk, according to a filing Thursday, while Twitter has enlisted the help of Goldman Sachs Group and JPMorgan Chase as it considers how to respond to Musk’s hostile bid, Bloomberg reported.

SOME cows eat candy — and it's not as rare as you'd expect.
A dairy farmer in Iowa let slip a surprising fact in the farming community when he revealed that some farmers feed their cows Skittles for their own health benefit in a viral TikTok.
The internet was blown away when TikTok user Dan, whose username on the platform is @iowadairyfarmer, posted a video saying that some farmers have fed their cows Skittles for years as part of their balanced diets.
"Farmers have been doing stuff like this for a long time," Dan says in response to a fellow TikToker who had asked if he knew that people fed their cows Skittles.
"It just goes to show how important it is that we tell what we're doing and why we're doing it so people aren't surprised at a concept like feeding Skittles."
In the video that has now amassed over 4.4million views, the farmer goes on to explain that cows eat a substance every day called TMR, short for totally mixed ration.
"Cows love consistency."
Dan says that candy such as Skittles or Snickers could replace the sugary part of a blend for the cattle's food, adding grains and other nutrients to the mix to make each bite identical "so the cow gets the exact same bite, every hour of every day."
He goes on to say that the main reason farms would feed the candy to their cows is because it's an energy source and depending on the location, Skittles could be a cheap or sustainable addition to the food.
"We don't force-feed the cows bags and bags of Skittles," Dan explains.
Most read in US News
"We're not doing that to trick the cow into eating more of this or make it more addictive; we're putting a little bit of sugar in their diet because a little bit of sugar in their diet is a good thing."
The practice of feeding candy to cows grew more popular when the cost of corn skyrocketed in 2021 and farmers began to look for cheaper alternatives, according to CNN.
Dan adds that feeding rejected candy or sugary products that won't make it to retail shelves to cattle doesn't hurt them and that it is good for the environment.
He says that reject Snickers, Oreo cookies, and brownie cake batter are just a few items he's heard of farmers feeding their cows to prevent added waste in landfills.
"This is a great way to upcycle things that humans don't use.
"Believe it or not, cows are pretty good at that."

BEIJING (AP) — Officials say three people have died from COVID-19 in Shanghai, in the first reported deaths in the latest outbreak in China's most populous and wealthiest city.
A City Health Commission inspector says all three were elderly, had underlying diseases such as diabetes and hypertension and had not been vaccinated against the coronavirus.
The deaths raise to 4,641 the number of deaths from COVID-19 that China has reported since the virus was first detected in the central city of Wuhan in late 2019.
Most of Shanghai's 25 million residents are being confined to their homes for a third week as China continues to employ a "zero-tolerance" approach to eliminate the virus.
The Associated Press reported that although the overall vaccination rate in the country is around 90%, only 62% of Shanghai residents over 60 are vaccinated.
On Monday, country officials said that in a span of 24 hours, 23,362 people tested positive, with most showing no symptoms.
The omicron BA.2 variant, which is driving the outbreak in Shanghai, is highly contagious, it's less lethal than the previous delta variant. | https://www.katc.com/news/national/shanghai-reports-first-deaths-in-current-covid-19-outbreak | 2022-04-18T23:05:21Z | https://www.katc.com/news/national/shanghai-reports-first-deaths-in-current-covid-19-outbreak | true | 15 |
Third graders learn to swim during the school day for free
The program has been offered for six years and is funded through a $23,000 grant from the organization 100-Plus-Women Who Care.
IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich. (WLUC) - An important life skill, third graders in and around Dickinson County get to learn how to swim for free. It happens during school hours thanks to a non-profit organization.
Bryan Johnson’s Woodland Elementary third grade class is one of 15 classes getting free swim lessons at the Northern Lights YMCA in Iron Mountain.
The program has been offered for six years and is funded through a $23,000 grant from the organization 100-Plus-Women Who Care.
“I have the kids practice in the water and gauge them on their skill levels. This program is designed not just to build confidence in the water, and skills, but also to teach them how to be safe around water,” said Anna Briseno, YMCA Aquatics Director.
Once a week for five weeks, each class meets with the YMCA Aquatics Director or two other volunteer instructors for 40-minute lessons. Around 340 students from eight local schools will get time in the water.
“We have Norway, Niagara, Florence, Iron Mountain, Kingsford, North Dickinson, Bishop Baraga, and Holy Spirit,” Briseno said.
The grant fully covers the cost of student transportation. Briseno says getting kids to the pool during the school day makes it accessible to all.
“Parents don’t have to come, nothing else additional has to be done. We are bringing them right from the schools, we are getting them in the water, and we are teaching them confidence and skills they need to help them swim,” Briseno said.
Johnson and Briseno said this is the highlight of the kids’ week.
“I have had every student get in the water. I have not had a single student turn it down. They have been so thrilled to come in and participate and come in,” Briseno said.
Now, the future of the program is in Briseno’s hands.
“This is actually the last money we have from the original grant,” Briseno explained. “So, I am going to be on the hunt this summer for more funds, because we are going to keep this program going.”
Children are already more than halfway done, and Briseno says every student has become a better swimmer.
Northern Lights YMCA Executive Director Jonathan Ringel says the best way to donate to the swim lesson program is if you make a contribution to the Y’s annual fundraising campaign, you can specify which program the money benefit

He writes “only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.”

Sen. Tim Kaine visits ‘Kids and Co.’
Published: Apr. 18, 2022 at 5:41 PM EDT|Updated: 1 hour ago
PEARISBURG, Va. (WVVA) - Senator Tim Kaine visited ‘Kids and Co.’ to discuss the impacts of American rescue plan funding on childcare facilities. Kaine said, one of the main objectives of the money was to improve quality while keeping costs low.
With federal backing, Kaine says childcare centers should be able to improve compensation for workers.
Even though the federal funding gave daycare centers a financial boost, the one-time payment can only be stretched so far. Kaine said there’s legislation being proposed to provide more federal dollars in the years to come.
Kaine adds senate democrats are fighting to expand the child tax credit to give even more money to qualifying families.

BROOKSVILLE – A 33-year-old motorcyclist was killed Friday night, April 15, in an accident on State Road 50, the Florida Highway Patrol said in a press release.

Canada bans foreign home buyers for two years to cool market
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government announced Thursday it will ban foreign investors from buying homes in Canada for two years in a bid to cool off a hot housing market.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland took a number of measures to tamp down speculation and demand amid record home prices in announcing the federal budget for the year.
The government announced a two-year ban on foreign home buying as well as higher taxes for people who sell their home within a year, though both measures include multiple exceptions including for permanent residents and foreign students.
The budget also includes billions for new housing and measures to help Canadians trying to get into the market, including a new savings account and changes to the first-time home buyers tax credit.
The government is under pressure to cool an overheated market after prices climbed by more than 20% last year, while rental rates have also been rising.
The federal Liberal government is also promising $500 million Canadian (US$397 million) in additional military aid to Ukraine as well as more humanitarian and financial support to Kyiv in response to Russia’s invasion.
Canada responded to months of pressure from the NATO military alliance and others by promising more than $8 billion Canadian (US7.2 billion) in new military spending over the next five years. Canada will remain far short of NATO’s spending 2% of GDP target, even as other allies dramatically ramp up their own military investments following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Last month, the Canadian government announced it selected Lockheed Martin Corp. and the F-35 as the preferred bidder in its competition to buy a new fighter jet.

SÃO PAULO, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. announces to its stockholders and the market in general that by way of its subsidiaries, it has entered into an Investment Agreement and Other Covenants to purchase, through financial contribution, 12.82% of Rede Agro Fidelidade e Intermediação S.A. ("Orbia's") total capital, in which Bayer S.A., Yara Brazil Fertilizantes S.A. and Bravium Comércio Ltda. already hold corporate interest.
Orbia is a platform providing rural producers with a full digital journey, facilitating operations in this segment, ranging from planting to marketing of commodities. It is currently the largest agribusiness marketplace in Brazil, notably when it comes to inputs and other agricultural services. Launched in the end of 2019, Orbia recorded over R$200 million in sales in the first year of operation to reach R$902 million in 2021, just the following year. For 2022, growth is expected to reach R$3 billion in sales.
This operation will enable Itaú to provide Orbia's customer base with more effective credit access solutions. On the other hand, Orbia will increase its market share in agribusiness, reaching a new level in terms of credit access to rural producers.
By connecting different products and services in one and the same platform easily accessible by rural producers, Orbia provides an environment that eases the way its customers and partners do business.
The four companies that will constitute Orbia will sit on the Board of Directors, which will operate on an independent basis.
The completion of this operation is subject to approval from the Brazilian antitrust agency (CADE) and the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN).

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — New Kansas laws will make the state fair home to drinkers who roam and allow the state to tax each bale of home-grown cotton up to $2 to pay for efforts to get rid of the bug that ruins cotton crops.
Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly on Monday signed bills approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature to boost beer and wine sales at the state fair and to create a program for combatting boll weevil infestations.
The State Fair sought the change in the law dealing with alcohol consumption during the annual two-week fair in September in Hutchinson, basing it on a practice allowed in other states.
Patrons 21 and older already can consume beer and wine in designated buildings and areas, but the new law will allow them to walk outside those areas with their drinks “within boundaries that have been marked with a three-dimensional barrier.”
The boll weevil law sets up a board with five voting members appointed by the state's secretary of agriculture to run the new program and set the per-bale tax.
If weevils are detected in Kansas, the board can develop and implement a plan for eradicating them. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Kansas-to-set-up-weevil-program-let-drinkers-17089101.php | 2022-04-18T23:42:33Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Kansas-to-set-up-weevil-program-let-drinkers-17089101.php | true | 12 |

Travis Barker Wishes ‘Best Friend’ Kourtney Kardashian a Happy Birthday in Romantic Message
The sweetest message. Travis Barker wished his fiancée Kourtney Kardashian a happy birthday with a romantic note. The TV personality turned 43 on Monday, April 18.
The Blink-182 drummer, 46, took to Instagram to share an intimate photo with Kourtney. “My best friend, my lover, my everything,” Travis wrote. “Happy Birthday @kourtneykardash. I love you.” The loving caption concluded with an infinity symbol.
In the black and white photo, Travis wrapped his arms around the birthday girl. He stared directly at the camera, while Kourtney looked down at the ground. The musician went shirtless in the shot, which gave his fans a good look at his tattooed body. Meanwhile, Kourtney rocked lingerie with lace details.
Travis shared the sweet post just days after he clapped back at a fan in a NSFW comment about his and Kourtney’s frequent PDA.
On Saturday, April 16, Travis took to Instagram to share a photo of himself working out. “No Kardashian finger up the ass, tongue, intestines, nudity, PDA, etc, etc anymore? [sic] Slacking,” one user commented in response to the shot.
The father of two clapped back by responding, “Still got the finger up the ass, and intestines, were totally nude and full PDA with my fiancée [sic].” The comment concluded with the middle finger emoji.
Travis and Kourtney began dating in late 2020 after being friends for a few years prior. They went public with their love by making their romance Instagram official in February 2021. As their relationship continued to strengthen, Kourtney and Travis made sure to show off their intimate moments with regular PDA-filled photos and videos on social media.
The musician popped the question in Montecito, California, in October 2021 and they have been planning their upcoming wedding ever since.
Earlier in April, the lovebirds had a wedding ceremony in Las Vegas after they attended the 2022 Grammy Awards.
“Found these in my camera roll,” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum wrote via Instagram on April 6 with a series of photos from their sin city chapel adventure. “Once upon a time in a land far, far away (Las Vegas) at 2 a.m, after an epic night and a little tequila, a queen and her handsome king ventured out to the only open chapel with an Elvis and got married (with no license). Practice makes perfect.”
While Kourtney insisted on Jimmy Kimmel Live that the wedding “wasn’t fake,” the pair did not obtain a marriage license ahead of the ceremony.
In addition to wedding planning, the engaged couple have been trying to expand their family. An insider previously told Life & Style that the couple were “looking into IVF” (in vitro fertilization) in hopes of having a child one day. The process is currently being documented on the famous family’s new Hulu show, The Kardashians.
Kourtney already shares kids Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7, with ex Scott Disick, 38. Meanwhile, Travis is the father to teenagers Landon, 18, and Alabama, 16, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, 46.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — With no end in sight to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, some U.S. lawmakers say the U.S. needs to step in and take more action to stop Russia.
However, it’s a delicate consideration for lawmakers and the Biden administration to decide how involved the U.S. can get in the conflict in Ukraine due to fears of what Russia would do in retaliation.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine won’t give up its fight against Russia in the besieged eastern city of Mariupol.
“It is very important for us not to allow them, to stand our ground,” Zelenskyy said, despite warnings from Russia to the remaining troops there to surrender or die.
On CBS Face the Nation, U.S. Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) says the U.S. shouldn’t give up either.
“the American people cannot turn away from this tragedy in Ukraine,” he said.
Coons advocated for more U.S. involvement in Ukraine.
“I think the history of the 21st century turns on how fiercely we defend freedom in Ukraine. And that Putin will only stop when we stop him,” he said.
On Capitol Hill, more than one U.S. senator said perhaps U.S. troop involvement in Ukraine shouldn’t be completely off the table as Russia shows no signs of backing off its attack on Ukraine.
“The president, in terms of his decisions as commander in chief, needs to look clearly at the level of brutality,” Coons said.
Russia has already sent a warning to the U.S. to stop sending weapons to Ukraine.
U.S. involvement in helping Ukraine has been measured in part because Russia possesses nuclear weapons that some experts fear Russian President Vladimir Putin would use.
Meanwhile, Pope Francis addressed those fears of nuclear war in his Easter Sunday remarks.
“Shall we put an end to the human race, or shall mankind renounce war?” Francis asked.
Another reason the U.S. hasn’t sent troops to defend Ukraine is that Ukraine isn’t part of NATO. So far, President Joe Biden has held firm in his decision the U.S. won’t send troops to fight in Ukraine. | https://myfox8.com/news/some-lawmakers-calling-for-more-us-involvement-in-ukraine/ | 2022-04-18T23:46:16Z | https://myfox8.com/news/some-lawmakers-calling-for-more-us-involvement-in-ukraine/ | false | 15 |

Talking trash about the Kardashians is a common pastime for many ordinary Americans. On Monday, a few got to do it to their faces.
Kim Kardashian, her mother Kris Jenner and her sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner all sat in the front row of a Los Angeles courtroom as prospective jurors aired their feelings about the famous family and the four women, all defendants in a lawsuit brought by Rob Kardashian’s former fiancée Blac Chyna.
“Anything that has to do with their names is just a big no for me,” one man said. “I don’t think reality TV is good for society.”
Chyna, whose legal name is Angela White, is suing the Kardashians, alleging they destroyed her television career, and during jury selection her attorney Lynne Ciani asked 47 candidates their feelings about the plaintiff and defendants, and the reality shows the case stems from.
Another said, “I sincerely hope none of these people get any wealthier because of this.”
One woman said her teenage daughter tried to watch “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” when it first came on, but she put a stop to it.
“I don’t think they were the best role models,” she said. “I wouldn’t let her watch anything involving them.”
One panel member couldn’t even wait to be asked. Told to give his name, occupation, marital status and hometown shortly after sitting down, he answered then added, “and I just want to say I have a very negative perception of the parties and I’m not sure I could be unbiased.”
The defendants didn’t seem defensive about the disrespect. They chatted with each other and smiled during breaks.
Judge Gregory W. Alarcon wasn’t entirely pleased by the tone, however.
“I appreciate your honesty. You’re certainly not shy,” he told the panel. “But this is the type of case like all cases where everybody is entitled to a fair trial. There’s a jury instruction that says the wealth of a party or the poverty of the party doesn’t matter.”
The jury is expected to be seated later Monday, with opening statements in the trial starting Tuesday. The Kardashian women are all expected to testify, and had been expected to attend at least parts of it, but their appearance for jury selection was something of a surprise.
Wearing loose-fitting business suits, the mother in white, her daughters in blacks and grays, they were ushered in by security at the last moment before the jury panel was brought in.
One prospective juror, who has served on other cases, said he didn’t like the pampered treatment he felt the defendants were getting.
Michael G. Rhodes, the Kardashians’ attorney, explained that courthouse security drove them in and escorted them into the courtroom for a reason.
“Do you understand that there is a dark side to celebrity,” Rhodes said, “and that people that are famous sometimes need extra security?”
“Does that mean that they need Fiji water hand-delivered to them as they sit in court?” the man responded.
The family did have supporters in the room too.
“I am a pretty big fan of the Kardashians so I don’t think I would be able to make an unbiased judgment,” one young woman said.
“I also am a big fan of the Kardashians,” a young man said. “I’ve been watching it since I was little, so I don’t think I could be very fair.”
The Kardashian fans said they knew who Blac Chyna was, but hadn’t developed strong feelings about her.
One woman who said she didn’t care for the Kardashians said she liked Chyna because the two went to the same nail salon and she was “always nice to me.”
Chyna, a model and influencer, began dating the lone Kardashian brother, Rob, in January 2016, and by the time the year was over they were engaged, had a daughter together and were starring in their own “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” spinoff called “Rob & Chyna,” on the E! network.
A second season was being shot when the two broke up, and the show was scrapped.
In 2017, Chyna sued the family for $100 million, saying they had defamed her and illegally interfered with her contracts and business dealings, using their power with producers and executives to drive her out of reality television.
The Kardashians denied any wrongdoing and said in court filings that they had legitimate concerns about Chyna and fears for the safety of their son and brother given the “violence and toxicity” of the relationship.
Chyna is also suing Rob Kardashian, but the differences in her allegations against him prompted the judge to sever that part of the case into a separate trial that will follow this one.
The family gained fame through 20 seasons of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” which ran from 2007 to 2021 on E! and made them social media superstars and prized product pitchers.
A sequel series on Hulu, “The Kardashians,” premiered Thursday. | https://ktla.com/news/local-news/just-a-big-no-for-me-potential-jurors-in-kardashian-case-air-hate-to-their-faces/ | 2022-04-18T23:49:35Z | https://ktla.com/news/local-news/just-a-big-no-for-me-potential-jurors-in-kardashian-case-air-hate-to-their-faces/ | false | 43 |
Experts find concerning disease in some South Carolina fish for first time

The Jets reportedly had a “great meeting” with Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux Friday, leading some experts to believe they may draft him with the No. 4 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
According to Peter Schrager of Good Morning Football, Thibodeaux came across as a “team guy” in the meeting, impressing the Jets with his attitude and demeanor. Thibodeaux was once seen as the consensus No. 1 overall pick, but negative rumors about his attitude and effort has caused his stock to slide.
“I’d say he’s very much in the conversation at number 4,” Schrager said in a Good Morning Football segment.
This isn’t the first time the Jets had a positive chat with Thibodeaux. At the NFL Scouting Combine in early March, Thibodeaux seemed excited about potentially playing in New York.
“It was great,” Thibodeaux said. “Breaking down film, they love how I can break down and articulate pass rush, run scheme, film and they’re really interested in me as well so I’m excited — they even asked me too how I would feel if I wasn’t taken No. 1. Like I just said, it’s all about what I can do to contribute to a Super Bowl, what I can do to contribute to a winning team and help cultivate a winning culture.”
Thibodeaux, 21, was named First-Team All-Pac 12 in 2021 after he recorded seven sacks and 49 tackles in 10 games with the Ducks.
The Jets have the No. 4 and No. 10 (from Seattle) draft picks in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Adding more tangibility to the Thibodeaux rumors, Robert Saleh told reporters in March that improving the defense was his top priority this offseason.
“If you’re asking Zach (Wilson) to play quarterback in a shootout in the second quarter, that’s not good for a [Tom] Brady, that’s not good for anybody,” Saleh said. “Absolutely, a better defense and improving the defense is at the front of our minds.”

Witness reacts to BNA shooting
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) -A man visiting Nashville describes the moments when gunshots rang out inside of the Nashville International Airport early Sunday Morning.
A woman was injured by a self-inflicted gunshot in the baggage claim area of Nashville International Airport (BNA) on Sunday morning. Michael Bristol visiting the area from Northern Idaho with his wife was approximately 20 feet away from the woman. He says this situation could have turned out much worse than what it did.
“It was just two shots, but she was just kind of randomly aiming,” said Bristol.
Bristol told News 4 the information desk employee with the airport stood up and yelled when the shots rang out.
The shooting happened around 7 a.m. Sunday morning. He says there were between six to eight people in the area when the woman fired the shots.
“We were trying to figure out what was going on and then when we finally we just started...Tried to find a place to stand behind so we didn’t get shot,” said Bristol.
Michael shared these pictures of officers around the area after the shots were fired. He says a day later he’s frustrated with how the airport presented the information.
“She didn’t just walk in and shoot herself in the leg for absolutely no reason. You know she was aiming the gun shooting and then...boom...ended up when she put her arm down with the gun, that’s when she shot herself in the leg,” said Bristol.
BNA sent a News 4 statement saying “Our department of public safety responded quickly to the scene...And their team will continue to provide a safe and secure environment for all travelers and employees.
“Somebody could have gotten hurt by the ricochet of a bullet, you know,” said Bristol.
Michael wants to see new safety measures implemented after an event like this.
“I would like to see people that work the information desk and stuff like that ...I like to see them have tasers at least on them cause maybe they can prevent future endeavors like this. She put my wife and I’s life in jeopardy. I mean we didn’t come from Idaho to get shot,” said Bristol.
There were no other major injuries.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka’s president appointed 17 new Cabinet ministers on Monday as he and his powerful family seek to resolve a political crisis resulting from the country’s dire economic state.
The appointments follow weeks of protests over fuel and food shortages and demands that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his government resign.
The president’s older brother, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, remains but some other relatives were dropped in what’s seen as an attempt to pacify the protesters without giving up the family’s hold on power.
Many seniors and those facing corruption allegations were excluded from the Cabinet in line with calls for a younger administration, though the finance and foreign affairs ministers are retaining their positions to assist with economic recovery.
Speaking to the new ministers, President Rajapaksa requested their support for an efficient, clean government.
“Today, most of the government institutions are under serious economic difficulties and it is absolutely essential to rectify it,” Rajapaksa said, calling the crisis “an opportunity to bring about the system change that the people expected.”
The Cabinet resigned on April 3 after protests erupted across the country and demonstrators stormed and vandalized the homes of some Cabinet ministers.
Thousands of protesters were occupying the entrance to the president’s office for a 10th day on Monday.
Opposition parties have rejected an invitation by Rajapaksa to form a coalition unity government while he and his brother would remain in power. Opposition parties have failed, meanwhile, to gain a parliamentary majority.
Sri Lanka is on the brink of bankruptcy, with nearly $7 billion of its total $25 billion in foreign debt due for repayment this year. A severe shortage of foreign exchange means the country lacks money to buy imported goods.
People have endured months of shortages of essentials like food, cooking gas, fuel and medicine, lining up for hours to buy the very limited stocks available.
Last week, the government said it was suspending repayment of foreign loans pending talks with the International Monetary Fund. Sri Lanka’s Finance Minister Ali Sabry and officials left for talks with the IMF on Sunday. The IMF and World Bank are holding annual meetings in Washington this week.
Sri Lanka has turned to China and India for emergency loansto buy food and fuel.
Much public anger has been directed at Rajapaksa and his elder brother the prime minister. They head an influential clan that has held power for most of the past two decades. | https://www.localdvm.com/local-news/sri-lankan-cabinet-reshuffled-to-counter-economic-crisis/ | 2022-04-19T00:10:12Z | https://www.localdvm.com/local-news/sri-lankan-cabinet-reshuffled-to-counter-economic-crisis/ | false | 26 |
GNFL season 2022 preview: Reigning premiers Brigades face Railways in season opener
A grand final rematch between the Brigades and Railways is set to be the highlight of the opening weekend of the GNFL season.
The Brigades defeated Railways 9.8 (62) to 5.13 (43) to claim their seventh flag last September and the reigning premiers will hope to get off to a winning start.
League coach for the Brigades, Corey Foot, said he was confident his side could continue their form from last season.
The core premiership squad is still intact, with a couple of new recruits added in the off season.
“We didn’t change much for pre-season, we kept it pretty simple and introduced the balls early,” he said.
“It was a good pre-season, numbers for training were up by around 10 people compared to last season.”
While some players may lose motivation after winning the grand final, Foot said this wouldn’t be an issue for his side.
“I’m just reminding them about that feeling (winning the grand final), that should be enough to motivate them,” he said.
Foot is unsure how his side will match up in round one as pre-season matches against the other GNFL clubs were cancelled due to COVID.
Despite this, he expects the club to maintain the consistency they showed last year across all of their football sides.

Amtrak Using Eminent Domain to Seize Control of DC’s Union Station
By Keith Loria April 18, 2022 6:27 pm
reprintsAmtrak is attempting to use eminent domain to take control of Washington, D.C’s Union Station, the southern terminus for most of its Northeast Corridor operations.
Currently, the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) owns the station building and parking, while Amtrak controls the platforms and tracks. Overall, Union Station consists of 211,000 square feet of retail and 172,000 square feet of office and concourse space occupied by Amtrak,
Ashkenazy Acquisition has managed Union Station through a lease with the DOT since 2007.
Amtrak is claiming that seizing control is necessary to expand and modernize the second-busiest station on the passenger operator’s network, according to a report from the Washington Post. Amtrak offered Union Station Investco, a subsidiary of Ashkenazy, $250 million to buy the station earlier this month, the Post reported, but Ashkenazy didn’t respond to the offer. Amtrak has placed that money in control of the District Court as part of the eminent domain proceeding.
Dennis Newman, Amtrak’s executive vice president for strategy, planning and accessibility, told the Post that the action was necessary in order to advance some long-delayed state-of-good-repair and capital projects, in order to shore up the station infrastructure. “An improved Washington Union Station is really key to our mission,” he said.
In May last year, Commercial Observer reported that Ashkenazy was in talks with a sovereign wealth fund interested in investing $100 million to recapitalize Union Station, not long after the firm defaulted on a $330 million mortgage, based on data from Trepp.
It’s unclear if that happened.
In 2018, Ashkenazy secured a $430 million fixed-rate loan with Citigroup and Natixis for the combined retail and office space at the station, which consisted of a10-year, $330 million commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) loan and $100 million in mezzanine debt, CO reported. The company got a break on both loans due to the pandemic, which caused many of the customers to stop paying rent.
Amtrak argued that its plan to improve the station and increase passenger volume cannot occur if Ashkenazy is involved, in a complaint in D.C. District Court last Thursday.
In a prepared statement, Amtrak noted it would work with partners like the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Railroad Administration and local and regional commuter authorities to achieve its vision for the future of Union Station.
“This is an important step that will allow Amtrak to directly invest in [Washington Union Station] in a more efficient and effective manner, make improvements with the most benefit for intercity and public transit customers, including enhancement to passenger flow, ticketing and waiting areas, and critical safety projects,” a spokesperson said.
Requests for comment from Amtrak and Ashkenazy were not immediately returned.

How Much of an Impact Will Deshawn Watson’s Contract Have on Other Quarterbacks and the NFL?
Deshaun Watson’s contract shook up the entire NFL. The contract is unbelievably huge for a guy going through many scrutinies. The 3-time Pro Bowler has 22 civil lawsuits against him, and many are alleging sexual misconduct and assault. On March 11th, the grand jury declined to convict Watson on criminal charges....

MILWAUKEE (AP) — On a night when their usually potent offense was searching for answers, the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks had to rely on their defense in their playoff opener.
Fortunately for the Bucks, that’s the one part of their game that was at a championship level.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 27 points and 16 rebounds, and the third-seeded Bucks recovered after blowing a 16-point lead to beat the sixth-seeded Chicago Bulls 93-86 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series Sunday.
“We’ve got to win the ugly games,” said Jrue Holiday, whose 3-pointer with 5:03 left put the Bucks ahead for good. “I feel like today was ugly. It was a battle and it was tough, but it was an ugly one.”
Holiday’s 3-pointer was part of an 8-0 run that gave the Bucks an 85-78 edge. The Bulls got the margin down to one but could never regain the lead, as Zach LaVine missed a potential tying 3-pointer from nearly 30 feet away with 29 seconds left.
“I thought it was a good shot,” LaVine said. “We were down three. I got a really clean look.”
Milwaukee overcame its struggles on offense by holding the Bulls to the lowest single-game point total of any Bucks opponent all season. The Bulls shot a season-low 32.3% from the floor in their first playoff appearance in five years. They were 7 of 37 on 3-point attempts.
In the fourth quarter, the Bulls were 6 of 28 and 1 of 12 from 3-point range.
“Every shot I took tonight felt good,” said DeMar DeRozan, who scored 18 points but shot 6 of 25. “I guarantee you that me, Zach and Vooch (Nikola Vucevic) aren’t going to miss that many shots again.”
The Bucks, who have won 17 of their last 18 meetings with the Bulls, grabbed an early 32-16 lead and threatened to put this game out of reach early. But they struggled to score the rest of the way.
After shooting 53.8% (14 of 26) in the first quarter, the Bucks made just 34.5% of their attempts (20 of 58) the rest of the way. They had an equal number of turnovers and baskets – 14 – in the second half.
They finished with 21 turnovers. They scored just three points in the first 6 minutes, 57 seconds of the fourth quarter.
“The whole team was kind of out of rhythm,” said Antetokounmpo, who didn’t score in the fourth quarter while dealing with foul trouble. “We weren’t able to find one another as easy as we usually find one another and make shots. We missed a bunch of open shots today. Usually we make those and we get energy.”
Brook Lopez scored 18 points, Holiday had 15, Khris Middleton had 11 and Bobby Portis added 10. Portis also had 12 rebounds.
Vucevic had 24 points and 17 rebounds but shot 9 of 27. LaVine had 18 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 6 of 19.
The Bulls didn’t take their first lead until late in the third quarter. They took their last lead at 78-77 on Vucevic’s inside basket with 5:56 left before the Bucks scored eight straight points.
Alex Caruso’s layup with 1:36 left cut Milwaukee’s advantage to 87-86, but the Bulls wouldn’t score again.
“We showed resiliency tonight,” Lopez said. “Things didn’t go our way offensively for a lot of the game, and we fought through it and did a good job defensively.”
GOING BACK TO CHICAGO
With the two cities separated by only about 90 miles, the Bulls are heading back to Chicago after Game 1 before returning to Milwaukee for Wednesday’s Game 2.
“If we would have had to play Sunday-Tuesday, I think we would have definitely stayed here,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said before the game. “But I think because we have two days, we have a chance to get home at a decent time, those guys can sleep in their own bed, practice tomorrow, practice Tuesday and then come back up.”
TIP-INS
Bulls: Caruso was in the starting lineup. Caruso had started just 18 of the 41 regular-season games he played. … The Bulls were missing assistant coaches Chris Fleming and Damian Cotter, who had tested positive for COVID-19. “They’re still in protocols right now with the league,” Donovan said before the game. Donovan added that “they have never really been in a situation where either one of them has felt bad at all, so that’s been a positive.”
Bucks: Reserve guard George Hill (abdominal strain) and reserve forward Jordan Nwora (back soreness) were unavailable for Sunday’s game. Hill also was held out of the Bucks’ regular-season finale. Jevon Carter essentially filled Hill’s spot in the rotation and scored three points in 9 1/2 minutes. … The Bucks won Game 1 for just the second time in their last seven playoff series.
UP NEXT
Game 2 is Wednesday in Milwaukee.

Tennessee trooper uses tape measure to wrangle loose pig on the highway
April 15 (UPI) -- A Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper who found himself chasing a loose pig on the highway without a lasso handy ended up using a tape measure to tie the hog.
The THP said in a Twitter post that Trooper Coker responded to a report of a pig running loose near the 371 mile marker on westbound Interstate 40 in Farragut.
Coker ended up using a tape measure to create a makeshift leash for the porcine fugitive.
"No lasso, no problem," the THP tweeted.
Coker told WATE-TV his father-in-law owns a farm, but he credited the TV shows Yellowstone and 1883 as the source of his skills as an "unregistered, uncertified farmhand."
The Tennessee Department of Transportation said the pig, named Calhoun, was returned to its owner. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2573875861361/tennessee-trooper-uses-tape-measure-to-wrangle-loose-pig-on-the-highway | 2022-04-19T00:21:44Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2573875861361/tennessee-trooper-uses-tape-measure-to-wrangle-loose-pig-on-the-highway | true | null |

Asahi Kasei Medical concluded an agreement on April 14, 2022 (JST) through a U.S. subsidiary to wholly acquire Bionova Scientific, LLC, a provider of contract process development services and GMP-compliant contract manufacturing services to biopharmaceutical companies, especially those developing next-generation antibody based drugs*.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220417005039/en/
Bionova Scientific Main Facility (Photo: Business Wire)
One of the Asahi Kasei Group's growth engines is the bioprocess business of Asahi Kasei Medical. In addition to the manufacture and sale of Planova filters and bioprocess equipment, Asahi Kasei Medical has been proactively expanding this business into the field of biosafety contract testing with the acquisition in 2019 of Austrian viral safety testing services provider Virusure Forschung und Entwicklung GmbH, followed by the 2021 acquisition of U.S.-based mycoplasma testing services provider Bionique Testing Laboratories LLC.
Bionova Scientific's process development capabilities are particularly highly regarded in the industry, and it has a rich track record regarding complex next-generation antibody drugs, which are typically challenging to manufacture. Its GMP manufacturing facility has state-of-the-art equipment including single-use bioreactors, suited to meet rising demand driven by the expansion of the antibody drug market and a steep increase in the number of biopharmaceuticals entering the clinical pipeline.
Acquiring Bionova Scientific will enable Asahi Kasei Medical to add a biopharmaceutical CDMO (contract development and manufacturing organization) to its bioprocess business. As process development and GMP manufacturing operations are key to the overall success of biopharmaceutical customers' businesses and the launch of new drugs, being able to offer a broader range of critical know-how driven services to biopharmaceutical customers will allow Asahi Kasei Medical to grow its bioprocess business more rapidly by better serving the industry and by reaching a broader range of customers, including those at the cutting edge of next generation biopharmaceuticals.
Through its provision of innovative and exceptionally reliable products and services, Asahi Kasei Medical aims to contribute to improved safety and efficient manufacture of biotherapeutics, and to further driving the growth of the healthcare sector of the Asahi Kasei Group.
Closing of the acquisition is subject to receipt of necessary regulatory clearances.
Next generation antibody based drugs differ from conventional antibody based drugs in their degree of complexity and sophistication of mechanism of action, and include examples such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and bispecific antibodies.

2 children shot with Orbeez in Sioux Falls, police say
The Sioux Falls Police Department responded to a report of two children at a park shot with Orbeez.
The incident happened around 5: 30 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Park in the 7500 block of W. 22nd Street, according to police spokesperson Sam Clemens.
An 8-year-old and 11-year-old boy were shot with Orbeez by some teenagers, Clemens said. The boys recieved minor injuries that didn't require medical attention.
Orbeez are described as a "water ballon like bullet" by police.
More Argus911: 11-year-old boy killed in UTV crash Friday night outside of Garretson.
Two other instances of people getting shot with Orbeez were reported by police in early April. In those cases Clemens said the incidents could be attributed to the "Orbeez Shooting Challenge" seen on TikTok, a social media app.
"This is a crime," Clemens said, "There could be serious consequences there could be people that are arrested."
In most cases seen in Sioux Falls witnesses describes the suspects as teenagers. Charges for those involved in these incidents could vary from disorderly conduct to simple or aggravated assault, Clemens said.
Orbeez Shooting Challenge
Back in early April, Clemens reported at least two other Orbeez shootings that could be part of a social media challenge.
The challenge consists of using “Splat guns” and similar toy guns to do “drive by shootings” and chase people and friends with a water balloon like bullet, according to the Clinton Police Department in Iowa.
Cases of the challenge have been reported in Iowa, Georgia, Florida and Massachusetts along with cases in Sioux Falls.
The videos are then shared on social media sites like TikTok.

Understand the impact of the Ukraine conflict from a cross-sector perspective with the Global Data Executive Briefing: Ukraine Conflict
US banking group Citi has set aside $1.9bn in reserves to counter its exposure to Russia and the fallout from the ongoing conflit in Ukraine.
Shortly after the war began, Citi revealed that its total exposure to Russia stood at around $10bn at the end of 2021, which is the highest among Wall Street banks.
The news comes alongside Citi’s first quarter 2022 results, which saw its profits decline to $4.3bn and revenues fall 2% to $19.7bn.
Apart from the reserves that have been set aside for souring loans linked to Russia, increased expenses were among the factors that impacted the group’s earnings.
Notably, Citi operates both retail and investment banking business in Russia and has vowed to exit its operations there.
Speaking at the earnings call, Citi CEO Jane Fraser revealed that in the first three months of 2022, the banking group reduced its exposure to Russia by $2bn.
Currently, Citi’s Russian exposure stands at around $7.8bn, which comes from loans, assets and exposures from local firms including the Central Bank of Russia.
The sanctions imposed on Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine have drastically reduced options for the sale of Citi’s Russian retail business.
Last month, Financial Times reported that the US banking group may have to shut down everything in Russia.
However, Fraser said that the firm continues to look for buyers for its Russian businesses. | https://www.retailbankerinternational.com/news/citi-russia-ukraine-war-exposure/ | 2022-04-19T00:31:45Z | https://www.retailbankerinternational.com/news/citi-russia-ukraine-war-exposure/ | false | 1 |

Powerhouse American Idol contestant Nicolina Bozzo secured her spot in the Top 20 of the show and it comes as no surprise. After her viral initial performance, the singer increased the intensity with her rendition of Stevie Nick’s “Edge of Seventeen.”
Tricking the audience by beginning the song as a ballad, Nicolina’s voice grew as the electric guitar rushed in. Throwing both hands in the air, she growled into the microphone to give her all to the performance.
“I always think to myself while you’re performing, ‘She’s gonna blow. In a minute, she’s gonna explode,’” said judge Lionel Richie. “You have a way of bringing the absolute peak of a song to this finale. When you do blow, oh my God. It’s amazing.”
Judge Katy Perry agreed, saying Nicolina is already a master of dynamics. The singer knows just when to hit the power and to back off.
“Nicolina, you’re a Ferrari,” judge Katy Perry said “And you can’t just hit the gas on a Ferrari. You know how to just level up every single time.”
The 18-year-old’s audition secured nearly 2 million times on YouTube, with her take of Sara Bareilles’ “She Used To Be Mine.” The audition captured the attention of some very special people. Bareilles herself took to Instagram to repost the video, impressed with the rendition.
The song holds a special place in Nicolina’s heart as it “offered [her] emotional support” and marked the beginning of her successful TikTok journey.
“This song is from Waitress, which is the first musical I had seen on Broadway (saw it when Shoshana and Jeremy Jordan were on) and I was hooked after seeing it,” she said.
“I immediately took my sisters to see the show back home when it was touring in Toronto and it had such a hold on my sisters and I. Later that same year I posted a cover on my TikTok and it got 1 million views in under a week! This song has offered me emotional support and also helped me create a following on TikTok where I was then given so many amazing opportunities!”
Watch Nicolina’s explosive performance of “Edge of Seventeen” below:

Why Ukrainians are waiting in line for hours to buy this stamp
Hundreds of Ukrainians are lining up to get their hands on a new collector's item — a stamp commemorating the moment when a soldier purportedly told off a now-sunken Russian warship.
Residents in Ukraine's capital Kyiv lined up Monday at the city's central post office, in some cases for more than six hours, to get a copy of the stamp depicting the infamous Snake Island incident in which a soldier is said to have told the Russians to **** off.
The stamp, as well as an envelope, shows an illustration of a Ukrainian soldier, with a middle finger raised and pointed at the Russian warship, the Moskva.
Some waiting in line in Kyiv told CTV National News London Bureau Correspondent Daniele Hamamdjian that they would like to frame the stamp in their home, with some collectors excited to get a copy for themselves.
"I think it's a great opportunity to maybe get some part of our history, because it is a really great moment to destroy the Russian craft, and I think that every Ukrainian feel some [pride]," said one young man, who waited more than two hours to get his own stamp.
During the early days of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, the Moskva reportedly called on Ukrainian soldiers on Snake Island in the Black Sea to surrender.
A recording of the exchange circulated at the time includes a soldier responding, "Russian warship, go (expletive) yourself."
Although initial reports suggested that the Ukrainian soldiers on Snake Island had all been killed, they were later found to be alive.
As of April 14, The Associated Press said it could not independently verify the incident.
As for the Moskva, Russian officials acknowledged last week that the ship sank, blaming a fire on board. However, Ukrainian officials say their forces hit the vessel with missiles.
On April 12, Ukraine's national postal service, Ukrposhta, announced it had put the stamp into circulation, with one million issued along with 20,000 envelopes.
Roman Grybov, the Ukrainian marine who reportedly uttered the famous phrase, is seen in a post on Ukrposhta's Facebook page commemorating the stamp's release in Kyiv.
The person who designed the sketch used for the stamp, Boris Groh, also took part in a ceremony in Lviv, Ukrposhta said. The postal service said Groh lived in the Crimean city of Yevpatoria but was forced to move to Lviv after Russia's annexation of the peninsula in 2014.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also has been pictured with copies of the stamp and envelope.
On April 15, the postal service quipped that for the first time in history, queues for the stamp have become larger than those for the iPhone.
With nearly half a million stamps sold as of Monday, Ukrposhta announced it would limit purchases to no more than six stamps and cancel online orders, in order to get stamps to as many people as possible and reduce speculative bidding on sites such as Ebay. Some envelopes with a stamp are being sold on the site for well over US$1,000.

Murdered men laid to rest following funeral services in Sligo and Roscommon
Two men murdered on the west coast of Ireland have been laid to rest following funeral services.
Aidan Moffitt, 42, and Michael Snee, 58, were found dead in their own homes in Sligo earlier this week.
A man was remanded in custody at Sligo District Court on Thursday after being charged with their murders.
A representative of Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Tánaiste Leo Varadkar attended the funerals in Sligo and Roscommon on Easter Monday.
A funeral for Mr Snee, a retired care assistant, took place at Saint Joseph’s Church in Ballytivnan, Sligo.
Father Noel Rooney described much sadness and grief in the church, as well as anger.
Mr Snee was remembered as a “beautiful, kind and gentle person”, and also “witty with a typical dry Sligo sense of humour”.
“It is important today that we do not allow the horror of Michael’s death to define his beautiful life,” he told mourners.
“He was much-loved by all and had a heart filled with love. He was a sensitive man and couldn’t do enough for his family, his friends and loved ones.”
Fr Rooney described the care worker as having a “beautiful way with residents” and had retired about 10 years ago with sight problems.
“Michael was always dapper and well-presented, always wore the very best clothes and shoes,” he said, describing how his sister said he had “aged gracefully and became better with age”.
Fr Rooney described his family as the centre and the heart of his life and said one of the last things Mr Snee did was to cook a stew for his family on Tuesday, before two of his nieces found he had been murdered in his home.
The funeral for Mr Moffitt, a business man and Fine Gael activist, took place at the Church of Christ the King, Lisacul, Co Roscommon at the same time at Mr Snee’s funeral.
Father Michael McManus said the “indescribable pain and suffering” on the Moffitt family “cannot adequately be defined or put into words”.
He said Mr Moffitt “made the world a better place”, describing him as “considerate, caring, respectful, intelligent, funny, engaged” but above all “kind”.
Fr McManus also emphasised Mr Moffitt’s pride in his home county’s GAA side despite being an “adopted Sligo man” and his love of horses, as well as how he regarded the historic republican leader Michael Collins as an inspiration.
“He had a love for his country and he used politics as a mechanism to positively develop and improve the lives of others,” he told mourners.
“He held many voluntary positions in Fine Gael over the years and he tried to drive positive development. He wanted things to be better for people and he wanted to get things done. Although he had many setbacks in this sphere, he persevered and devoted his time to this cause that he held so dear to his heart.”
The murders of the two men sparked shock and anger across Ireland, and a number of vigils took place in memory of the two men at towns and cities on both sides of the border.

Professional soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodríguez, announced the death of their newborn son in a joint statement posted Monday on social media.
"It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away," Ronaldo and Rodríguez wrote on Twitter on Monday. "It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel."
— Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) April 18, 2022
The birth of their baby girl, the twin of their deceased baby boy, gives them the strength to live with "some hope and happiness," Ronaldo and Rodríguez wrote. The pair did not share a cause of death.
In October, Ronaldo and Rodríguez announced on social media they were expecting twins.
"Our baby boy, you are our angel," they wrote in the statement on Monday. "We will always love you."
Child mortality remains a global concern.
"The total number of under-5 deaths worldwide has declined from 12.6 million in 1990 to 5.0 million in 2020," the World Health Organization reports. "Since 1990, the global under-5 mortality rate has dropped by 60%, from 93 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 37 in 2020. This is equivalent to 1 in 11 children dying before reaching age 5 in 1990, compared to 1 in 27 in 2020."
The United States' infant mortality (death before age 1) rate was 5.6 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2019, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

CALGARY — Nolan Baumgartner has been named head coach of Canada's team for the upcoming men's under-18 world hockey championship. Kori Cheverie, Todd Miller and David Struch will serve as assistants, joined by goaltending consultant Brad Kirkwood.

DALLAS (AP) — Tyler Seguin scored early, Michael Raffl added a short-handed goal and the Dallas Stars kept up their surge toward a Western Conference wild-card spot, beating the San Jose Sharks 2-1 on Saturday night. Dallas remained tied with Nashville for the two West wild-card spots at 91 points apiece as both clubs extended their lead to four points over Vegas, a 4-0 loser at Edmonton. The Stars and Predators, who beat Chicago 4-3, have seven games remaining, one more than the Golden Knights.

When Hockey Canada recently announced its coaching staff for the men's under-18 team set to play in the world championship, the reaction surprised assistant coach Kori Cheverie. Cheverie, who is from New Glasgow, N.S., didn't imagine being the first woman selected to coach a national men's hockey team would get the attention it did. "I didn't expect it to kind of blow up all over social media, by any means," Cheverie said from Germany, where the team is preparing for its tournament opener agains

The NFL quarterback market continues to soar to sky-scraping heights. If you can sling a football, you’re going to be cashing a monstrous check — even if you’re not considered one of the premier signal callers in the league.
Proof of this came down last week when Raiders QB Derek Carr — a good but not great player — signed a three-year extension with Las Vegas for $121.5 million. That’s $40.5 million per year.
No, the deal isn’t exactly what it seems. Much of the guaranteed money kicks in three days after the next Super Bowl, which means Carr is going to have to prove himself to the Raiders in 2022.
But it still represents a massive in hike in what quarterbacks command these days. And it makes me wonder: Would extending Russell Wilson have been worth it for the Seahawks?
This, of course, is a hypothetical, as it appears Wilson made clear he wasn’t interested in playing on a new contract with Seattle. His displeasure is ultimately what forced coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider to trade him to the Broncos for a plethora of draft picks.
Still, for many Seattle sports fans, that trade might have been the most depressing transaction they’ve ever had to endure. But might it have been a good thing in the end?
It certainly won’t feel like it next season, when Geno Smith or Drew Lock or whoever else is behind center for the Seahawks. There’s a reason Vegas Insider has the Seahawks’ over-under win total at 5.5.
With today’s rules, it’s nearly impossible to compete for a championship without an elite quarterback. But those quarterbacks also need support — and it isn’t easy to do if they’re eating up over $45 million of salary-cap space each year.
Take a player such as Patrick Mahomes, who might be the best QB in the league right now. He signed a 10-year, $450 million extension with the Chiefs in September 2020, but that new deal won’t kick in until next season.
In other words, the former MVP who has won one Super Bowl, been to another and lost in two other AFC Championship Games did so on a rookie contract. The odds of him repeating that success as the richest player in football? Likely a whole lot less.
Who do you think of when you think of the great Seahawks teams from past decade? Likely Wilson, and Marshawn Lynch, and Richard Sherman, and Earl Thomas, and Kam Chancellor and Bobby Wagner among others. It was one of the most dynamic collections of talent — particularly on the defensive end — that the NFL has ever seen.
But did those Seahawks teams replicate their success once all those guys got their big pay days? Not so much. They haven’t been to an NFC Championship Game since the 2014 season.
There is one player, however, who has regularly taken less money than market value. His name is Tom Brady, thought by many to be the greatest player of all time. With seven Super Bowl rings and five Super Bowl MVPs, no quarterback can match his résumé. But almost as critical as his arm were his team-friendly contracts, which always allowed him to have the necessary complements to win.
No quarterback should feel obligated to go the way of Brady, who isn’t even the breadwinner in his own home. Athletes of all calibers should feel free to get what they’re worth. But combining exorbitant contracts with Super Bowl titles is rarer than the average fan might think.
So what would have happened if Wilson was content in Seattle and not seeking a trade? Well, if he had stayed healthy and performed well next season, he likely would have sought a deal resembling that of Mahomes — and certainly one bigger than Carr’s. And given that Wilson is a scrambler who, according to both the eye test and his rushing numbers, has slowed a step athletically, that would have been a questionable investment for the Seahawks.
I’ve said it before, Wilson is the most valuable player to ever suit up for Seattle. The team wouldn’t have won a title without him, nor would they have been able to so consistently make the playoffs.
But Carroll and Schneider have shown the ability to build a winner. Moving on from Wilson had to be difficult, but it might have been the best thing for this franchise. | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/soaring-qb-market-further-evidence-that-moving-on-from-russell-wilson-was-right-move/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_seahawks | 2022-04-19T01:45:49Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/soaring-qb-market-further-evidence-that-moving-on-from-russell-wilson-was-right-move/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_seahawks | false | 7 |
BOSTON — A California-based finance company has agreed to pay more than $900,000 to settle allegations that it was illegally leasing dogs in Massachusetts, the state attorney general’s office said.
As part of the agreement entered in Suffolk Superior Court, Monterey Financial Services LLC will stop collecting on active leases, cancel about $700,000 in outstanding consumer debt on 211 dog leases — about $3,300 owed per lease — and transfer full ownership of the dogs to Massachusetts residents, authorities said.
The company will also provide $175,000 in restitution to consumers and pay $50,000 to the state.
Leasing dogs is illegal in Massachusetts, and can often be an expensive way to own a pet because of high finance charges, according to the attorney general.
Authorities had alleged that the Oceanside, California, firm violated Massachusetts consumer protection laws by purchasing and collecting on leases for dogs, and engaged in illegal practices to collect outstanding balances on those leases.
Monterey in a statement Thursday said it stood by its record of “high levels of performance for our clients, low consumer complaint ratios, and a deep-rooted dedication to customer service.”
“While we disagree with the state’s findings, we have elected to come to an agreement to move away from this issue to best serve our clients,” the statement said. “Monterey has and continues to strive to employ business practices in full accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.”
Leasing a dog is much like leasing a car, the attorney general’s office said. The consumer must make monthly payments for the duration of the lease, plus an additional payment at the end of the lease to ultimately own the dog. Missed payments can result in the dog being repossessed, the office said.
“Families in Massachusetts looking to get a dog should not be trapped in leasing agreements that are harmful, expensive, and illegal,” Attorney General Maura Healey said in a statement.
The attorney general’s office learned of Monterey’s dog leasing practices while it was investigating another financial company, Nevada-based Credova Financial, which agreed to waive more than $126,000 in consumer debt. | https://www.indexjournal.com/company-settles-dog-leasing-allegations-for-more-than-900k/article_60a4dc75-f7ae-5827-99c4-47daf322aa26.html | 2022-04-19T01:50:01Z | https://www.indexjournal.com/company-settles-dog-leasing-allegations-for-more-than-900k/article_60a4dc75-f7ae-5827-99c4-47daf322aa26.html | true | 22 |
Matthew Butler spent 27 years in the Army, but it took a day in jail to convince him his post-traumatic stress disorder was out of control.
The recently retired Green Beret had already tried antidepressants, therapy and a support dog. But his arrest for punching a hole in his father’s wall after his family tried to stage an intervention in Utah made it clear none of it was working.
“I had a nice house, I had a great job, whatever, but I was unable to sleep, had frequent nightmares, crippling anxiety, avoiding crowds,” he said. “My life was a wreck.”
He eventually found psychedelic drugs, and he says they changed his life. “I was able to finally step way back and go, ‘Oh, I see what’s going on here. I get it now,’” said Butler, now 52. Today his run-ins with police have ended, he’s happily married and reconciled with his parents.
Butler, who lives in the Salt Lake City suburbs, is among military veterans in several U.S. states helping to persuade lawmakers to study psychedelic mushrooms for therapeutic use.
Conservative Utah has become at least the fourth state over the last two years to approve studying the potential medical use of psychedelics, which are still federally illegal. A string of cities have also decriminalized so-called magic mushrooms and an explosion of investment money is flowing into the arena.
Experts say the research is promising for treating conditions ranging from PTSD to quitting smoking, but caution some serious risks remain, especially for those with certain mental health conditions.
Oregon is so far the only state to legalize the therapeutic use of psilocybin, the psychedelic active ingredient in certain mushrooms. But studying them for therapy has made inroads not only in blue states like Hawaii, Connecticut and Maryland, but also GOP-led Texas, Utah and Oklahoma, which passed a study bill through the state House this year.
The progress stands in contrast to medical marijuana, which Utah lawmakers refused to allow until a ballot measure helped push it through. However, the proposal to study a broad range of psychedelic drugs passed easily this year.
Texas has yet to legalize medical marijuana, but former Republican Gov. Rick Perry helped shepherd through a bill last year to use $1.4 million to fund a study of psilocybin for treating PTSD.
“The stigma attached to psilocybin and most psychedelics dates back to the 60s and 70s. It’s been very hard for them to overcome,” said Democratic Rep. Alex Dominguez, who sponsored the bill. “My approach was, ‘Let’s find the group that all sides claim that they are supportive of.’ And that would be veterans.”
He also heard from conservatives like Perry who support the use of psilocybin to treat PTSD — and let advocates from that end of the political spectrum take the lead publicly.
Maryland also gave bipartisan approval to spending $1 million this year to fund alternative therapies for veterans, including psychedelics. Democratic sponsor Sen. Sarah Elfreth, whose district includes the U.S. Naval Academy, noted the spike in suicides among veterans.
“I don’t envision the VA acting anytime soon,” she said. “We’re at a true crisis level and it’s time for the states to step up.”
Psilocybin has been decriminalized in nearby Washington, D.C., as well as Denver, which decriminalized it in 2019, followed by Oakland and Santa Cruz in California, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Cambridge, Massachusetts.
There’s also plenty of venture capital being invested from people who have had positive experiences and are “highly motivated” to invest in psychedelics as treatment, said John Krystal, the chair of psychiatry at Yale University.
Rhode Island lawmakers are weighing a proposal to decriminalize psilocybin this year, and in Colorado there’s an effort to get statewide decriminalization on the ballot. But similar measures have stalled in Statehouses elsewhere, including California and Maine.
Studying psychedelics, though, has gained more traction. In Oklahoma, a bill from Republican Reps. Daniel Pae and Logan Phillips would legalize research on psilocybin.
“I believe the research will show that there is a way to use this drug safely and responsibly, and it could save the lives of thousands of Oklahomans,” Pae said in a statement. The bill passed the House last month and is now under consideration in the Senate.
It’s a stunning turnaround for a field that captivated researchers in the 1950s and 1960s, before mushrooms and LSD became known as recreational drugs. They were federally outlawed during the Nixon administration, sending research to a screeching halt.
New studies, though, have indicated psilocybin could be useful in the treatment of everything from major depression to alcoholism, said Ben Lewis, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Utah Huntsman Mental Health Institute.
“People are referring to this current period of time as the psychedelic Renaissance,” he said. Up to 30% of depression sufferers are considered resistant to current treatment, and there have been few recent leaps forward in drug innovation, he added.
The risk of addiction or overdose is considered low with psychedelics, especially under medical supervision, and while some cardiac conditions can present a physical risk, many people’s physical reactions aren’t dangerous.
But there are serious psychological risks, especially for people with certain forms of mental illness or a family history of conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
“Then there’s a possibility that a high-dose psychedelic experience could sort of trigger that and lead to long-lasting mental health issues,” said Albert Garcia-Romeu, an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Classic psychedelics include LSD, mescaline, psilocybin and ayahuasca. Plant-based psychedelics have long been used in indigenous cultures around the world.
Today, their therapeutic use at Johns Hopkins is carefully monitored, Garcia-Romeu said. Patients are rigorously screened and typically have at least three appointments: one for preparation, a second to take the drugs and a third to work through the psychedelic experience.
For Butler, the 2018 arrest at his parents’ home was a turning point. He started researching new ways to deal with the PTSD he has suffered since deploying six times to Iraq and Afghanistan and working in counterterrorism and hostage rescues in Somalia for the U.S. Special Forces before retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 2017.
Eventually he came across ayahuasca, long a part of traditional cultures in South America. Last summer, he took part in a ceremony involving the psychoactive brew, overseen by a woman knowledgeable about its effects. She talked to him as the experience took hold, including a feeling of euphoria, the sight of geometric shapes and a sense he was entering his subconscious.
She spoke to him about his childhood and how the military had shaped his life.
“It really was as simple as having an experienced person who understood the medicine, who understood that subconscious space and understood PTSD. It was as simple as listening to her,” he said.
He credits that single session with getting his PTSD about 80% under control, though he occasionally does another if he finds his symptoms returning.
About two-thirds to three-quarters of people in studies have experienced significant improvements in their symptoms, Garcia-Romeu said. Those are promising results, especially for quitting smoking, where current treatments only work for about one-third of people, he said.
The Food and Drug Administration designated psilocybin a “breakthrough therapy” in 2018, a label that’s designed to speed the development and review of drugs to treat a serious condition. MDMA, often called ecstasy, also has that designation for treatment of PTSD.
How quickly states move from study to wider availability remains to be seen. Connecticut recommended legal medical use only after psilocybin is approved by the FDA, which may take until 2025 or later as the agency works through its process, including risk assessment.
Approval is important to safety as well as access, the Connecticut assessment said — without it, many insurance companies likely wouldn’t cover the treatment, leaving it open only to the wealthy.
In Utah, the study team is expected to complete its work in the fall.
“We’ll see what can and can’t be done,” said Republican Rep. Brady Brammer, who sponsored the bill. “If if they feel like it’s safe, it’ll be an interesting ride.”

THE challenge of transforming a business is no easy feat. When that push for change requires a shift to a more agile customer focused model, as well as harnessing and renewing technology platforms to not only future proof the business but create a best practice environment, that task can become even more complex.
Coal Services is an Australian industry-owned Specialised Health and Safety Scheme which delivers a suite of services in relation to the NSW coal mining industry including workers compensation insurance, health surveillance, occupational hygiene monitoring, and training and rescue. Owned by industry for industry, through the NSW Minerals Council and the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU), it has been protecting workers in one form or another for more than 90 years.
The company has statutory functions that are critical to the health and safety of the industry, which presents its own set of challenges in that the status quo must be maintained at the same time as the organisation builds a new way forward.
Gillian Kidson is Head of IT at Coal Services and it is her job to oversee the transformation of the company from a technological point of view, to work with leading edge vendors and create a best practice environment for IT infrastructure.
“I needed to gain an intimate knowledge of the company strategy and build a roadmap that allowed IT to help enable the key infrastructure required to realise our strategy. There was an appetite for significant efficiencies to be made using new technologies and improved data management; it was a case of building the right IT structure, architecture and infrastructure,” she reveals.
The biggest challenge for Kidson and her team was working through the company’s legacy systems, which represent nearly 100 years of activity with each part of the business also having different requirements and applications, many of which weren’t being utilised.
“Not only was it a bit of a clean-up, but we also looked at how we could utilise these tools across multiple businesses; not just one,” she comments.
“We are upgrading the legacy infrastructure to a level where it will able to provide significant performance improvements in meeting the needs of the new systems that are coming in. We integrated current technologies, including: AWS, Azure and Office 365 to ensure we have best practice systems in place to allow us to build for the future and enhance performance.
In order to implement changes to legacy systems, particularly within the insurance arm of its operations, Coal Services has, for example, partnered with Finity to develop a tool that blends an individual’s entire claims history together so case managers and injury management advisors will have a holistic view of the person (rather than a single claim or injury view) to enable a more person-centric approach to injury management and improved experience for the worker.
At a larger level, and because it operates across multiple touch points with its customers, Coal Services has amassed a large store of data surrounding workplaces, mine companies and workers.
“An important part of the architectural design has been geared towards how we share the data that can be shared and lock down the data that can't. So, we're just working through that architecture at the moment with a view to implementing some master data sets across the business and a middleware application to enable us to transfer and share that core data,” Kidson explains.
“The goal is to provide systems that will give ease of access for our employees to provide better levels of service to customers. But at the same time, these new systems must provide useful information to help us glean specific insights and improved knowledge to enable better solutions. This will enable the organisation to be more customer centred and in doing so, will allow for an increase in customer efficiencies.”
With large data assets comes the need to protect personal information and comply with privacy policies too. To ensure these requirements are met, Coal Services has engaged InfoTrust as its security partner, who are working with Kidson at each stage of these projects to ensure that they apply the best and most trusted form of security they can.
So, how does the system function when facing the client?
“We have five different businesses that will interact with the coal miner for various reasons. From a health perspective it can be anything from a pre-work placement medical required under the statutory responsibilities of Coal Services, to annual medicals for mines rescue brigadesmen. On the other side, you've got injury claims and management processes as part of the workers’ compensation component of the scheme. In addition, every NSW coal miner will likely come through our doors for some sort of training, and we also maintain their qualification records,” she said.
“The interactions are as varied as the data sets, so we are working towards giving people access to see what training they've had and when they did it. They will be able to see how many medicals they’ve had and keep tabs on their claims. They should be able to go in through a portal and see all their information. The immediate goal is to give that capability back to the miner so they have some visibility of their own information; it means they can access personal data, see their qualifications, and check their medical information.”
The coal industry is undergoing dramatic change and, as a result, capabilities at Coal Services need to be nimble and agile enough to respond to the evolving industry landscape.
“While improving internal system performance and data collection capabilities are important, it’s of greater significance that we can understand the data and work with industry to recognise emerging issues. Changes in technology can have a direct impact on that and can aid in the development of solutions. Mine workers are often transient and the industry employs a good deal of contractors, which requires us to respond quickly to provide the best possible services to customers. It’s give and take on any day of the week and adaptability is key.”
Kidson has fostered a number of long term strategic partnerships as a way to not only help deliver on requirements, but to also help improve performance as the organisation develops its own capabilities.
“Virtual IT has been on board since the beginning providing assistance with architectural and network design as well as business intelligence tools. Having them on board has been a learning curve for us all and has provided us with some insights into what we've got and how best to reuse what we can.”
One of the first areas Kidson looked at was occupational health who had been running their business across six different applications. The idea is to consolidate as much of that as possible into one application. “We've consolidated the first two applications with the help of Appian, who provide a platform Workflow Tool. We've consolidated bookings and health assessments and that's due to go live in November.”
With data comes responsibility and security and Coal Services looked to Trusted Habitat when it came to data governance. “We need to be very clear over data flow and ownership. Trusted Habitat has been working with us to help put some of the rules in place and to look at how we manage that flow,” Kidson explains.
Coal Services’ employees also need to make sure that data is available and can be where it needs to be at the right time. As a result, and to ensure best practice, the company has gone for a new high-speed network, supplied by Telstra.
Meanwhile, NTT is working with Coal Services on disaster recovery and business continuity planning for the infrastructure and server environment. “We're currently working our way through what that's going to look like, with a view to implementing a ‘disaster avoidance’ environment and not the standard ‘disaster recovery’.
“The strategy in place at the moment, has probably got another two to three years to run. We're obviously adding to that all the time and it’s constantly under review. It’s an ever-evolving piece of work. If we can get to the point where we're delivering that well, then we’ll start to see a bit more of the AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology being introduced. First, we will have somebody logging into a portal, then we would like to see that portal being more intuitive and intelligent and delivering content to the customer or client based on their actions.”
What these long term strategic partnerships do is allow us to improve performance and implement best practice solutions across the business lifting both our internal and external customer experiences. The changes to our IT infrastructure will provide tremendous benefits towards improving our stakeholder service provision in a significantly more effective and efficient manner. | https://businesschief.asia/company-reports/coal-services-keeping-workers-safe-down-under-1 | 2022-04-19T01:51:41Z | https://businesschief.asia/company-reports/coal-services-keeping-workers-safe-down-under-1 | true | 1 |
Post-engagement glow! Colton Underwood jetted off to Mexico to celebrate the change in his and fiancé Jordan C. Brown’s relationship status earlier this month.
The former Bachelor, 30, and the political strategist, 39, soaked up the sun at the Four Seasons Punta Mita for a week in early April alongside some of their closest friends.
Underwood and Brown stayed at a villa on site with pals Janson Woodlee, Jacob Andary, Tyler Filmore, Paige Filmore, Johnny Sibilly and Todd Hawkins as they toasted their January engagement.
The Bachelor in Paradise alum, who publicly came out as gay in April 2021, enjoyed beach time with his future husband throughout the vacation in addition to lounging by the Tamai Pool bar at the resort with their group.
The lovebirds, who are “big fans” of the Mexican hotel, made time for just themselves as well with a “romantic private dinner” at The Rock, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.
The pair watched the sunset as they chowed down on a variety of items, including a beet salad, poached lobster and cheesecake. The former reality star arranged a “surprise” appearance by a Mariachi band after the duo’s dinner.
The band “played a few songs for them and their friends joined them to sing, dance and celebrate,” the insider tells Us, adding that the couple topped of their night under the stars while hanging out by a bonfire.
Underwood gave fans a glimpse at the tropical vacation on April 3, sharing a series of snaps with his and Brown’s friends.
“A day in paradise. my soulcation ♥️ @fspuntamita,” he captioned the photos, one of which show the former reality star wearing tiger-printed trunks while sipping coffee shirtless.
The season 14 Bachelorette contestant posted a cozy snap with his fiancé one day later, writing, “Te amo dude ♥️🤙🏼.”
Brown, for his part, documented the group’s adventures via his own social media post on April 9. “Sueños de México 🇲🇽,” he wrote alongside a series of videos, including one of Underwood dancing. The caption translates to “dreams of Mexico.”
Ahead of the vacation, the duo got engaged while visiting Big Sur, California, in celebration of Underwood’s birthday in January.
“We knew very early on that we were meant to be for each other,” Underwood exclusively told Us in March of Brown’s proposal. “My only thing was, ‘I want to be surprised when you ask me.’ So he did a great job.”

Johnson did not organise lockdown-busting party, says Number 10
Number 10 has been forced to deny that Boris Johnson organised a leaving party for a senior aide at the height of a Covid lockdown in 2020.
The Sunday Times revealed that Johnson was pictured pouring drinks for people, and himself, during a November 2020 leaving event for then director of communications Lee Cain.
There was also speculation that the Prime Minister himself organised the event for Cain, who was pushed to leave Downing Street after an internal feud with Johnson’s wife Carrie.
A source told the newspaper: “Boris came fumbling over, red box in tow, and he gathered the staff around the press office table, which did have bottles of alcohol on it. He said he wanted to say a few words for Lee and started pouring drinks for people and drinking himself. He toasted him.”
The Times reports that Number 10 does not dispute Johnson was at the event, but deny that the Prime Minister was the organiser.
It comes as survey by JLPartners found 16 per cent of Brits use positive language when describing the prime minister, while more than 70 per cent speak about Johnson negatively.
The Prime Minister will tomorrow give an address to parliament to address the police fine he received last week for attending his own work birthday party in Number 10 during strict Covid restrictions.
More fines could be on the way for Johnson as the Metropolitan Police continues its investigation into breaches of Covid rules in Downing Street and Whitehall.
Energy minister Greg Hands today said Johnson will “have his say” on partygate and “outline his version of events”.
Hands said he did not believe Johnson should resign if pictures emerge of the Prime Minister handing drinks out at Lee Cain’s farewell bash.
“I think the prime minister is getting on with the job, he’s delivered, and the government has delivered, in anything from the vaccination programme through [to] the strong support for Ukraine,” he said.
“There is a police investigation going on and we’ll have to see what develops, but as I say the prime minister will be in parliament this week, explaining and facing questions from MPs about what has happened.” | https://www.cityam.com/johnson-did-not-organise-lockdown-busting-party-says-number-10/ | 2022-04-19T01:55:01Z | https://www.cityam.com/johnson-did-not-organise-lockdown-busting-party-says-number-10/ | true | 1 |
Sara Morales and Hailey Egbert won events in leading the Shenandoah Fillies to a runner-up finish at the Shenandoah Fillie Relays Thursday, April 14.
The Fillies scored 101 points, trailing only Riverside’s 128 in the 10-team field. Essex scored 44 points to be part of a three-way tie for fifth with East Mills and Red Oak. Sidney finished ninth with 28 points.
“I think we performed well in all of our events,” Shenandoah head coach Ty Ratliff said. “We asked a lot of the girls and really loaded them up. We came just short of winning the meet, but the girls gave it their all.”
Morales won the discus with a throw of 108 feet, 1 inch, leading a strong field event group for the Fillies. Aliyah Parker was runner-up in the discus at 94-10. Morales and Lynnae Green placed second and fourth in the shot put with Morales’ best throw traveling 38-9.
Shenandoah’s Kate Lantz and Ashlynn Hodges earned second and third place honors in the high jump with Lantz clearing five feet and Hodges 4-10.

“We are blessed to have quality jumpers and throwers,” Ratliff said. “Sara is always a top contender to win the shot and disc each meet.

“Marley has been very consistent so far in the 1500,” Sidney acting head coach Steve Meyer said. “She is running through some nagging injuries and learning a lot every time out.”
Lilly Peters was the other individual place-winner for the Cowgirls, earning a third-place mark in the discus at 88-11 and fifth in the shot put.
“Lilly has been solid for us in the shot put and discus,” Meyer said. “She had another nice throw (Thursday) of over 32 feet.”
The Cowgirls also scored in the 800 medley relay with Karlee Graham, Fallon Sheldon, Makenna Laumann and Addy Haning racing to fourth overall.

Woman sentenced in fatal crash during Wichita police chase
A woman has been sentenced to life in prison after a May 2019 crash during a police chase killed two people and injured Wichita musician Jenny Wood.
Mia Collins pleaded guilty in October to two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Maria Wood, 70, and her granddaughter, Rosemary McElroy, 12, who were Jenny Wood's mother and niece.
They were in a car that collided with one driven by Collins, who was fleeing from police.
The driver of another car, Alfred Angel, also was seriously injured.
During sentencing on Thursday, Wood said police shared blame for initiating a chase through downtown Wichita that reached 75 mph. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2573205513742/woman-sentenced-in-fatal-crash-during-wichita-police-chase | 2022-04-19T02:22:49Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2573205513742/woman-sentenced-in-fatal-crash-during-wichita-police-chase | false | null |
Noah Holdings embarks on a digital journey to lead the way in the financial space
“The wealth management space is a pretty niche segment of the financial industry. Couple that with digital, which right now is one of the more popular areas of IT and technology, and what I’m doing with the company is going deeper and deeper into the cross-section between financial institutions, and technology,” says Ronald Fung, Chief Digital Officer at Noah Holdings.
Noah is currently undergoing a digital transformation, implementing new technology and innovation to better understand and ultimately better serve its customers.
Fung was brought into Noah in 2017 to oversee this transformational journey, bringing with him significant experience working in the financial technology space. It is this experience that provided Fung with a greater understanding of how technology and the role of digital has grown significantly over the last decade.
“In the past, the role of IT has always been more of a back office one, with a focus on process automation and making things cheaper, faster and more efficient,” he says. “Over the last 10 years, technology has actually moved right to the point in which it now reaches out to customers directly.
“Nowadays in the financial sector, you cannot split between whether technology is a supporting tool or the driver of the business itself.”
Historically, wealth management has been a predominantly very human, face to face-oriented industry. That human interaction has always come first, with data collection and technology coming second.
Fung’s role as Chief Digital Officer provides him with two core objectives for Noah.
The first objective, leveraging big data
“It’s about looking to better understand our customers and our clients through data, learning about how we work with them and becoming better each and every time,” he says.
The second objective is a little broader, tasked with bringing in and developing innovative technologies into the wealth management space.
“Innovative technology in the past has never really been the core focus, because applying the so-called ‘fancy gadgets’ is usually something that wasn’t really seen in the wealth management space,” Fung says. “But this is something that is happening more and more across the financial industry.”
As technology and the role of IT continues to expand beyond the traditional mindset of it being more of a supporting tool, more and more companies are beginning to feel a sense of pressure to implement certain technologies in order to keep up with competitors.
This, Fung believes, is a fatal flaw as it is important to understand exactly what technology can be applied and how it can actually better drive growth.
“At this point there are certain technologies that are just not applicable to the wealth management space, so it’s very important that I understand this and have a judgement of when the best time is to bring it into the business,” he says.
“In the financial industry, everything is number driven and so you have to be able to justify technology from a business case.”
Fung avoids implementing technology for technology’s sake by looking at it from a clear perspective – the criticality.
When looking at the criticality of technology, Fung accepts that some technology is 100% critical and that not implementing it now will set the company far behind any competitors in the near future.
“You wouldn’t have a ticket to play in this game anymore,” he says.
One such example of critical technology is data and the leveraging of client information. Due to the very human nature of wealth management, this creates relationship managers that have a personal and clear understanding of clients and their needs. This presents a situation where one could argue that there is no need for technology when the process is smoothly in place.
“The problem then becomes a matter of “you don’t know what you don’t know”, someone from the blind spot may be able to utilise big data or AI and creating a much clearer understanding of your clients,” says Fung. “Because they have such a deep understanding of your client, then they could completely take over your business and put you out of the game.”
As technology has continued to transform the industry, dictating the direction and strategic thinking or organisations such as Noah Holdings, how has the customer changed with it? With more and more technology advancements, providing more power to the customer, how has this changed the way in which Noah must respond to customers?
“Clients have been exposed to more and more technology in recent years and so they are now demanding more technology touch points and more convenient and direct interaction with us,” says Fung.
“In fact, what this has done is enable the conversation surrounding technology to happen more frequently and to be more informed. Now, when we discuss technology, the expectation is much more realistic – we understand what technology can and cannot do in terms of supporting clients. As those clients have changed, it’s definitely helped educate us as a business much quicker.”
Now in the second year of this digital strategy, Fung can already begin to look back on key successes achieved along the way. One of the biggest changes has been one of its strategy focus, in which Noah Holdings places greater emphasis on leveraging technology in delivering client impact. One such example is the role of Chief Digital Officer itself.
“We may be the only one in the industry to have a Chief Digital Officer,” he says. “and the key here is how Noah enables this role to introduce innovation like robo advisory and big data.”
In just one short year, Fung has already seen a huge shift in the business, looking to technology as a means of enabling far greater service and understanding for its clients. As he looks to the future growth of the company, he admits that there is still a long way to go.
“In terms of how we can apply these innovative technologies and how we leverage data to make our service better, make our product better and to have an ecosystem in making all things smooth for all parties, I’d say we are still at a very, very early stage,” he says.
“There is so much we can do as a business, for the business and, ultimately, for our clients.” | https://businesschief.asia/company-reports/noah-holdings-embarks-on-a-digital-journey-to-lead-the-way-in-the-financial-space | 2022-04-19T02:24:12Z | https://businesschief.asia/company-reports/noah-holdings-embarks-on-a-digital-journey-to-lead-the-way-in-the-financial-space | true | 1 |

Canada’s Denis Shapovalov may be 15th in the world men’s tennis rankings, but he has passions well beyond the court.
Right now, he wants to use his international profile to help save animals.
The 23-year-old Shapovalov, from Richmond Hill, Ont., launched ShapoShelter last week, an initiative to help house rescue pets from around the world. He’s partnered with two shelters in Florida and one in Mexico and is using his ShapoShelter website and social-media accounts to share the stories of animals ready to be adopted.
“I think with the platform that I have, I think it’s perfect to give back and to give these animals a chance,” said Shapovalov on Monday. “Obviously with whatever followers I have the more that we post about these animals all these followers and fans are going to see the stories of these animals.
“It’s just going to give them a better chance to get adopted and have their stories heard.”
Shapovalov, who owns two dogs (Lucky and Nika) and two cats (Rosa and Zeus), said he considered opening a shelter of his own but found it too difficult to balance that responsibility with the rigours of travelling the world on the ATP Tour.
Instead, Shapovalov has partnered the Humane Society of Manatee County, the Humane Society of Greater Miami and Adopta Un Amigo Para Siempre in Mexico City. His ShapoShelter online properties post photos, videos and biographical details of the animals so prospective pet owners can get to know them.
“I’ve always just wanted to help out,” said Shapovalov. “I’ve heard a lot of brutal stories about how these animals are mistreated and it’s honestly heartbreaking.”
Shapovalov’s varied interests away form the court also include producing rap music, with two singles available on streaming platforms.
“I am a tennis player but you know, I’m a person too. I have ambitions and goals in life and some of them are things like this,” said Shapovalov. “I’ve got a huge passion for music, I’ve got a huge passion for animals and I just feel really lucky that I’m on a platform to to help out and give back.”
Shapovalov has had a solid starting to the 2022 season with a 12-7 record. He helped Canada win the ATP Cup in January going 3-1 in singles and advanced to the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam event for the third time in his career, losing to eventual champion Rafal Nadal in five sets at the Australian Open.
However, Shapovalov has struggled with a sore shoulder and elected to skip this week’s Barcelona Open and stay in Florida to heal and train for the upcoming clay-court circuit in Europe.
“Definitely feel like I’m growing as a player,” said Shapovalov, who is targeting the Madrid Open on April 26 for his return. “Obviously, I started the year off really, really well and I feel like even the lows that I’ve had this season have not been have that low.
“I’ve lost some tough matches but I’m still playing some great tennis and I don’t feel like I’m losing myself as much out there anymore.”
Shapovalov said that anyone wishing to support the ShapoShelter program just needs to follow its accounts on Twitter or Instagram. | https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-canadian-tennis-player-denis-shapovalov-promotes-animal-shelters/ | 2022-04-19T02:25:19Z | https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-canadian-tennis-player-denis-shapovalov-promotes-animal-shelters/ | true | 3 |
On April 18, a federal judge in Florida overturned the national mask mandate covering planes and other forms of public transportation. This comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently extended the mandate through May 3 to allow more time to study omicron subvariant BA.2.
The latest development has led to confusion for some travelers, with Google Trends data showing that people are searching for whether airlines are still requiring masks on U.S. flights.
THE QUESTION
Are masks still required on U.S. flights?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
No, masks are no longer required on U.S. flights for now. The CDC says the mandate requiring masks on public transportation is no longer in effect as of Monday, April 18.
WHAT WE FOUND
The CDC says on its website that the order requiring masks on public transportation and at transportation hubs such as airports is no longer in effect as of April 18, 2022. Though the CDC continues to recommend that people wear masks indoors, the public health agency will not enforce the mandate.
Most major airlines in the U.S. have also posted statements to their websites about masks being optional on U.S. flights following the ruling.
Alaska Airlines wrote in a statement that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is no longer enforcing the mask mandate – and the airline will not, either.
“Due to a judicial decision in our federal court system, the mask mandate has been overturned, which means our guests and employees have the option to wear a mask while traveling in the U.S. and at work,” Alaska’s statement reads in part.
The White House also announced that “the masking order is not in effect,” and TSA will not enforce it at this time, Southwest Airlines said in a statement.
Other major U.S. airlines, including Delta, United and American, also shared updates on their websites or via social media confirming that masks are now optional for all airport employees, team members and customers inside U.S. airports and onboard planes.
Alaska cautioned travelers that individual airports may still require people to wear masks, and clarified that passengers must continue wearing masks on flights to and from Canada.
Several airports, including Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Washington state, have said masks are optional following the ruling. Portland International Airport also told VERIFY sister station KGW that people in the airport are no longer required to wear masks.
VERIFY has reached out to the White House for a statement on the judge’s ruling.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

At the end of every regular season, teams are tied in record ... and thus in draft position. So a few days later, there’s a draw at league offices to determine the final draft order.
At the end of this season, the Philadelphia 76ers (whose pick is owed the Nets), the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics (whose pick is owed the Spurs) all finished with 51-31 records, tying them for the 23rd through the 25th picks. So on Monday, the tie was broken and the Nets came away with No. 23, the Bucks No. 24 and the Spurs No. 25.
As it stands now, the pick would be the highest first rounder Sean Marks has ever had. He’s had higher picks but he’s traded them away, mostly to clear cap space like he did in facilitating the Clean Sweep in 2019. That year, they dumped the 17th (Nickeil Alexander-Walker) and 27th picks (Mfiondu Kabengele) in Draft Night deals. They kept their second rounder, the No. 31 pick and took Nic Claxton.
But will the Nets keep the pick? As part of the deadline deal centered on James Harden for Ben Simmons, Brooklyn has the option of moving the pick to 2023. They must decide by June 1, per Yossi Gozlan of Hoopshype. That’s three weeks before the Draft which will take place on June 23 at Barclays Center.
The pick would be unprotected in either Draft. Should the Nets move the pick down the road, they’d have no picks in either round this year and the 76ers pick would stay in Philly. Next year, they’d have two firsts, the Philly pick and their own (which is subject to a possible swap with the Rockets.) The trade value of the 2022 pick would be enhanced by the option if the Nets decide to go that route. | https://www.netsdaily.com/2022/4/18/23031183/nets-get-23rd-pick-in-2022-nba-draft-if-they-keep-it-they-have-until-june-1-to-decide | 2022-04-19T02:48:54Z | https://www.netsdaily.com/2022/4/18/23031183/nets-get-23rd-pick-in-2022-nba-draft-if-they-keep-it-they-have-until-june-1-to-decide | false | 1 |

DETROIT, Mich. (NBC News) - Tequila anyone? A kindergarten brought drinks to school and shared with the class.
One parents was so shocked, she says her child will not be returning to the kindergarten class.
"It was so many thoughts running through my mind, like oh my God, you know?" parent Alexis Smith said. "What if it was before the girl from school, how much was it?"
Smith said Thursday morning, she got a call from her daughter's school, Grand River Academy, saying a kindergartner brought a pre-mixed bottle of Jose Cuervo to class and shared it with four classmates. One of them was Smith's 5-year-old.
"I asked her like, is my daughter okay?" Smith said. "And she said she's right here and she looks okay. And then I said, okay, well, how much does she drink?"
The school could not give her a definite answer.
"Not want to take medicine in. First up, no case should be drinking and you know that, you know, just the stop," she said. "Itself. Like how do you feel like anything could have happened?
She picked up her daughter up from school early.
Later that day, the principal sent out this letter addressed to kindergarten parents saying in part.

Ash Barty is returning to the world sporting stage, this time wielding a golf club rather than a tennis racquet.
The former world No.1 will play in a teams exhibition event in New Jersey from June 30 to July 1, alongside some of sport’s biggest names.
Barty, who announced her shock retirement last month aged just 25, will be a headline act in the Icons Series which will be played in the US for the first time.
Team USA, captained by 1992 Masters Champion Fred Couples, will take on a Rest of the World team captained by four-time major winner Ernie Els.
The late Shane Warne has played in a previous edition while this time Manchester City soccer manager Pep Guardiola, boxer Oscar De La Hoya and retired swim great Michael Phelps will line up.
The June tournament is a nine-hole team match-play format at Liberty National.
Barty is reportedly looking to bring the event to Australia next year.
She has been coy on her post-retirement plans, although they are sure to involve golf in some way as she lives on a golf course with her fiance Garry Kissick, a PGA trainee professional.
The three-time grand slam tennis champion won the ladies competition at her home club Brookwater, near Ipswich, earlier this month, playing off a handicap of five.
Seven-time major winner Karrie Webb played a round with her at Victoria Golf Club in 2019 and said Barty had the talent to make it on the LPGA tour.
“She’s a really handy player and just that one day I could tell if she puts some time into it she will be a great player,” Webb told AAP.
“It was everything – she hit the ball a long way – but a lot of athletes are very hand-eye co-ordinated and they get out there and they’re fairly decent at hitting the ball.
“When it comes to the finesse shots, sometimes that’s where they struggle, but she’s got good hands from how she plays tennis.
“You could tell she had good hands and she’d developed a good short game and that just needs sharpening.” | https://www.aap.com.au/news/barty-to-play-in-us-exhibition-golf-event/ | 2022-04-19T03:04:06Z | https://www.aap.com.au/news/barty-to-play-in-us-exhibition-golf-event/ | true | 6 |
On April 18, a federal judge in Florida overturned the national mask mandate covering planes and other forms of public transportation. This comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently extended the mandate through May 3 to allow more time to study omicron subvariant BA.2.
The latest development has led to confusion for some travelers, with Google Trends data showing that people are searching for whether airlines are still requiring masks on U.S. flights.
THE QUESTION
Are masks still required on U.S. flights?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
No, masks are no longer required on U.S. flights for now. The CDC says the mandate requiring masks on public transportation is no longer in effect as of Monday, April 18.
WHAT WE FOUND
The CDC says on its website that the order requiring masks on public transportation and at transportation hubs such as airports is no longer in effect as of April 18, 2022. Though the CDC continues to recommend that people wear masks indoors, the public health agency will not enforce the mandate.
Most major airlines in the U.S. have also posted statements to their websites about masks being optional on U.S. flights following the ruling.
Alaska Airlines wrote in a statement that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is no longer enforcing the mask mandate – and the airline will not, either.
“Due to a judicial decision in our federal court system, the mask mandate has been overturned, which means our guests and employees have the option to wear a mask while traveling in the U.S. and at work,” Alaska’s statement reads in part.
The White House also announced that “the masking order is not in effect,” and TSA will not enforce it at this time, Southwest Airlines said in a statement.
Other major U.S. airlines, including Delta, United and American, also shared updates on their websites or via social media confirming that masks are now optional for all airport employees, team members and customers inside U.S. airports and onboard planes.
Alaska cautioned travelers that individual airports may still require people to wear masks, and clarified that passengers must continue wearing masks on flights to and from Canada.
Several airports, including Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Washington state, have said masks are optional following the ruling. Portland International Airport also told VERIFY sister station KGW that people in the airport are no longer required to wear masks.
VERIFY has reached out to the White House for a statement on the judge’s ruling.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The flight debut of NASA’s mega moon rocket faces additional delays following a string of failed fueling tests.
Officials said Monday it will be challenging to meet a launch window in early to mid-June. The next opportunity to send an empty capsule to the moon on a test flight would be at the end of June or July.
The 30-story Space Launch System rocket has been on the pad at Kennedy Space Center for the past month. It will return to the hangar next week for valve and fuel leak repairs. The problems cropped up earlier this month, preventing NASA from filling the rocket’s fuel tanks for a critical dress rehearsal.
The rocket will likely spend weeks in the hangar before heading back to the pad for a testing redo, said launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson.

Managers are considering various options for getting back on track.
“It’s just a matter of what’s the right time, what’s the right way to do that," said Tom Whitmeyer, a NASA deputy associate administrator.
NASA wants this test flight under its belt before putting astronauts on board for the second launch, a lunar fly-around targeted for 2024. The third mission would attempt to land astronauts on the moon around 2025, more than a half-century after NASA's Apollo moonshots,

Novak Djokovic said on Monday that he is aiming to be “as ready as I can be” for the French Open as he prepares for just his third tournament of the season in Belgrade this week.
The World No 1 was deported from Australia ahead of the Australian Open in January over his Covid vaccination status, before also missing Indian Wells and the Miami Open in the United States.
In the Serbian star’s absence, Rafael Nadal won a record 21st Grand Slam singles title in Melbourne, moving out of a tie with Djokovic and Roger Federer.
Djokovic will be hoping to match his great rival’s tally at the French Open, which begins on May 22.
“Roland Garros is the quintessential clay-court tournament and I’m partly already there in my thoughts, in terms of preparation and everything I’m doing at the moment to get there as ready as I can be,” Djokovic told reporters in Belgrade.
The 34-year-old also said he was planning to play in the Madrid Masters and the Italian Open ahead of Roland Garros.
“My current plans include Madrid and Rome,” he added.
“It depends, really, on my result here and the shape I’m in. We’ll decide then.”
Djokovic lost in his opening match of the Monte Carlo Masters last week to eventual runner-up Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, after a quarter-final exit in Dubai in February.
“I was not fully ready for the tournament in Monte Carlo and I knew that before the tournament started,” he said.
“However, I need match practice and this is the surface (clay) that requires a lot of time spent on the court during training sessions, and even more during matches.
“I hope to play more matches in Belgrade than in Monte Carlo.”
Djokovic won an ATP event in the Serbian capital last season, the week before the start of the French Open, which he won for the second time despite trailing Stefanos Tsitsipas by two sets in the final.
“I had never before played a tournament in the week ahead of Roland Garros but last year I decided to do just that.
“Because it was Belgrade and I needed the feeling that the audience is the wind beneath my wings. It came true, I won the tournament, and it turned out I made a good decision ahead of the French Open.”
Top seed Djokovic will face a compatriot when he enters the tournament in the second round – either Laslo Djere or Hamad Medjedovic.
He could face former US Open champion and two-time French Open finalist Dominic Thiem in the quarter-finals, as the Austrian plays his first ATP event since last June after a series of injury setbacks.

Even as more than 15,000 insolvency and bankruptcy cases are pending before the National Company Law Tribunal, a recent RTI filed by a Gujarat-based activist reveals that in the near future vacancies at the adjudicating authority could be as high as 50%.
It may be mentioned that the tribunal has 15 benches in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Cuttack, Jaipur, Kochi, Guwahati and Indore. The RTI filed by Nipun Singhvi, an NCLT lawyer and RTI activist, reveals that as on date, the NCLT has 22 judicial members and 25 technical members. The data reveal that 10 judicial members and 16 technical members are going to retire in 2022, which means that very soon there will be vacancy of almost 50% across the country. Interestingly, 16 of the technical members who are retiring in July this year were appointed in 2019 for three-year terms, as against the five-year tenure, which is normal. None of them has received extensions so far and industry watchers opine that the chance of renewed terms is almost negligible. The NCLT has a sanctioned strength of 63 members just to deal with company law matters and bankruptcy cases.
What is making matters worse is the lack of domain expertise of even existing members, causing long delays in resolving matters relating to mergers and acquisitions, IBC and other financial matters. The activist had also challenged terms of appointment of judicial members in an advertisement dated October 13 last year on the grounds that the same was in contradiction to Supreme Court judgments in the Madras Bar Association vs Union of India and Swiss Ribbons vs Union of India cases. The matter is currently pending before the Gujarat High Court. Previously also, an RTI reply in 2021 had revealed that the six members who had retired were eligible for reappointment, but the government did not extend/renew their tenure. | https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/large-number-of-vacancies-may-hit-nclt-functioning/2495848/ | 2022-04-19T03:20:20Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/large-number-of-vacancies-may-hit-nclt-functioning/2495848/ | false | 1 |
