BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A guard at Louisiana's maximum security prison is in custody after he allegedly used excessive force that left “scratches and scrapes” on an inmate who was being placed in restraints, state officials said.
Sgt. Elbert King, 30, of Natchez, Mississippi, was arrested Monday on one count each of malfeasance in office and simple battery, said Ken Pastorick, a spokesperson for the Louisiana Department of Corrections. King, who has worked at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola since 2019, was placed on leave while the investigation continues, Pastorick said.
King could face more charges, he said.
West Feliciana Parish sheriff’s deputies arrested King a week after the alleged use-of-force incident, which Pastorick said happened on April 11. Investigators found that King didn’t properly report the incident, leading to the warrant for his arrest, Pastorick said.
King surrendered to deputies at the West Feliciana Parish prison. Bond information was not immediately available and it was unknown if he has an attorney who could speak on his behalf. | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Louisiana-prison-guard-arrested-on-excessive-17090675.php | 2022-04-19T17:29:23Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Louisiana-prison-guard-arrested-on-excessive-17090675.php | true | 11 |

Gruesome new details are coming to light in connection with the weekend slaying of Orsolya Gaal.
A man who knew the 51-year-old Forest Hills mom and had access to her Juno Street home has been identified as a person of interest, but no names have been released, NBC New York reports citing multiple law enforcement sources.
Gaal's body was found by two walkers in the area after a blood trail led to her home, around 8 a.m., Saturday, April 16. She had been stabbed some 58 times in the neck, torso, and left arm. The sources also revealed she had wounds to her hands in an attempt to fight off her attacker.
In a chilling twist to the story, Gaal's husband, Howard Klein, reported receiving a text from her phone after the crime saying the killing was revenge for her sending him to jail years ago and "your whole family is next," the Daily Mail reported.
Gaal, a mother of two, was last seen on Friday night when she told her 13-year-old son Leo she was going out with friends.
After the discovery of his mother's body, Leo was handcuffed and questioned by NYPD before being released later Saturday. Gaal's husband and older son were out of town on a college visit at the time of the crime.
Investigators believe that Gaal was attacked in her basement, while the 13-year-old son was on the top floor of the home.
It is unclear what incident in the past the person was referring to in the text message.
On Tuesday, April 19, NYPD officials said no arrests have been made in the case but declined to say if there was a suspect, although, on Monday, they said there were no suspects.
This continues to be a developing story. Check back to Daily Voice for updates.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces attacked along a broad front in eastern Ukraine on Tuesday as part of a full-scale ground offensive to take control of the country’s eastern industrial heartland in what Ukrainian officials called a “new phase of the war.”
Ukraine’s General Staff said Russian forces are focusing their efforts on taking full control of the Donbas region. “The occupiers made an attempt to break through our defenses along nearly the entire frontline,” the General Staff said in a statement early Tuesday.
The stepped-up assaults began Monday along a front of more than 300 miles (480 kilometers), focused on the Donbas regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, with the Russian forces trying to advance in several sections, including from the neighboring Kharkiv region.
In southern Donetsk, the General Staff said the Russian military has continued to blockade and shell the strategic port city of Mariupol and fire missiles at other cities.
On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video address that a “significant part of the entire Russian army is now concentrated on this offensive.”
Moscow-backed separatists have been fighting Ukrainian forces for eight years in the mostly Russian-speaking Donbas and have declared two independent republics that have been recognized by Russia. Russia has declared the capture of the Donbas to be its main goal in the war since its attempt to seize the capital, Kyiv, failed.
“No matter how many Russian troops are driven there, we will fight,” Zelenskyy vowed. “We will defend ourselves.”
Troops battled in the streets of Kreminna on Monday before Russia was able to gain control of the city, according to Serhiy Haidai, Luhansk regional military administrator.
Haidai said that before advancing, Russian forces “just started leveling everything to the ground.” He said his forces retreated to regroup and keep fighting.
The breakthrough at Kreminna brings the Russians closer to the city of Slovyansk, which is seen as a key target in the Russian offensive. Slovyansk was seized by pro-Russian fighters in 2014, only to be retaken by Ukrainian forces months later following intense fighting.
Russian troops have already seized the city of Izyum, which sits along a highway north of Slovyansk, and they are poised to push toward the city from the north and the east. Slovyansk lies just north of another key city, Kramatorsk, where an earlier Russian attack on a train station killed more than 50 people.
On Monday morning, Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of Ukraine’s national security council, told Ukrainian media that the defensive line had not been broken elsewhere.
“Fortunately, our military is holding out,” Danilov said.
In Mariupol, Denys Prokopenko, commander of the Azov Regiment of the Ukrainian National Guard, said in a video message that Russia had begun dropping bunker-buster bombs on the Azovstal steel plant where the regiment was holding out.
The sprawling plant contains a warren of tunnels where both fighters and civilians are sheltering. It is believed to be the last major pocket of resistance in the shattered city.
Russia has Mariupol surrounded and has been fighting a bloody battle to seize it. If Russia takes Mariupol, it would free up troops for use elsewhere in the Donbas, deprive Ukraine of a vital port, and complete a land bridge between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, seized from Ukraine from 2014.
In western Ukraine near the Polish border, at least seven people were reported killed Monday in missile strikes on Lviv.
Lviv has been a haven for civilians fleeing the fighting elsewhere. And to the Kremlin’s increasing anger, the city has also become a major gateway for NATO-supplied weapons.
The attack hit three military infrastructure facilities and an auto shop, according to the region’s governor, Maksym Kozytskyy.
A hotel sheltering Ukrainians who had fled the fighting in other parts of the country was also badly damaged, Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said.
“The nightmare of war has caught up with us even in Lviv,” said Lyudmila Turchak, who fled with two children from Kharkiv in the east.
Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, was hit by shelling Monday that killed at least three people, according to Associated Press journalists on the scene. Shelling could be heard overnight and into Tuesday morning in the major eastern city, which has been struck numerous times but remains firmly in Ukrainian control.
Moscow said its missiles struck military targets in eastern and central Ukraine including ammunition depots, command headquarters, and groups of troops and vehicles. It reported that its artillery hit hundreds of Ukrainian targets, and that warplanes conducted 108 strikes on troops and military equipment. The claims could not be independently verified.
Gen. Richard Dannatt, a former head of the British Army, told Sky News that Russia was waging a “softening-up” campaign ahead of the Donbas offensive.
A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the Pentagon’s assessments of the war, said there are now 76 Russian combat units, known as battalion tactical groups, in eastern and southern Ukraine, up from 65 last week. That could translate to around 50,000 to 60,000 troops, based on what the Pentagon said at the start of the war was the typical unit strength of 700 to 800 soldiers. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-header/world/russia-attacking-along-front-of-hundreds-of-miles-ukraine-says/ | 2022-04-19T17:30:55Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-header/world/russia-attacking-along-front-of-hundreds-of-miles-ukraine-says/ | false | 35 |
Gary Lineker has attempted to settle a debate involving Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.
The Reds icon is often regarded as one of the best players in Anfield history, as well as in the Premier League era. He left Liverpool in 2015 with 186 goals in 710 appearances to his name, as well as nine major trophies to his name.
One of the debates that often resurfaces over Gerrard is who was the better player between him and Chelsea legend Frank Lampard. The now-Everton boss scored 266 goals across 891 appearances throughout his playing career, amassing 11 major trophies along the way.

Attempting to pick out who he thinks was the best player between Gerrard and Lampard, Lineker argued why he thinks the former Liverpool star gets the nod in his eyes.
“I think the better footballer is Gerrard, out of him and Lampard,” said Lineker, on BBC’s Match of the Day Top 10 podcast .
“But Lampard will give you just as much for your team in terms of goals and stuff like that, but for me Gerrard [is the best] always, he’s just slightly ahead.
“They’re both unbelievably high players, but then if you throw Paul Scholes at me I just say ‘I don’t know’.
"What I cannot ever understand, which for me is a bigger debate, is why on earth did they [England] not find a way for them to work together in the same team.
“They’re not the same player, they’re different, and they were super intelligent footballers.
“But we [England] were stuck in our ways of playing a 4-4-2 and either put Lampard, Gerrard or Scholes on the left. Design a system where they could all play in the middle, but they wouldn’t do it.” | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/i-cannot-ever-understand-gary-23728663 | 2022-04-19T17:31:55Z | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/i-cannot-ever-understand-gary-23728663 | true | 1 |

Even though Max Allegri is notorious for his unwillingness to thrust young players into action, he made an exception for Mattia De Sciglio back in 2011. The tactician gave the fullback his senior Milan debut despite being a teenager at the time.
The two men then reunited in Turin in 2017, but the 29-year-old had his fair share of ups and downs since joining Juventus.
Last season, De Sciglio spent his campaign on loan at Olympique Lyon before rejoining the Bianconeri squad upon Allegri’s return last summer.
Nevertheless, the Italy international cherished the opportunity of playing abroad, believing it was an eye-opening experience which changed his perspective on the sport.
The versatile fullback explains how playing football in French is less stressful than in Italy, as young players are allowed to commit mistakes and learn than getting berated by fans and observers alike.
“In Lyon it was truly a real life experience and a choice that I would repeat a thousand times,” said De Sciglio in an interview with L’Equipe via ilBianconero.
“I had a great time. I learned to play faster football, where even small teams believe in their chances, rather than just defending.
“Today I have more confidence in my abilities and I’m also back to have fun playing.
“In Italy we are overwhelmed every day by the pressure of the media and the fans. In France, once the game is over, even following a defeat, you think about the next without too much stress. Football is lived more serenely.
“I want to send a message to the Italian players: many are afraid of going abroad, but it’s a shame. These are experiences that enrich you.
“Abroad, young people are ready before us to play important games. I saw it in France. Young talent in there are courageous, they’re not afraid to try one-on-one because mistakes are allowed.
“A young Italian instead is praised at the first good match, only to be massacred for his first mistake.” He concluded. | https://www.juvefc.com/theyre-not-afraid-de-sciglio-explains-difference-between-french-and-italian-football/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=theyre-not-afraid-de-sciglio-explains-difference-between-french-and-italian-football | 2022-04-19T17:38:52Z | https://www.juvefc.com/theyre-not-afraid-de-sciglio-explains-difference-between-french-and-italian-football/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=theyre-not-afraid-de-sciglio-explains-difference-between-french-and-italian-football | false | 1 |

Working in downtown Dalton, Andrea Azzouz and Ashlee Godfrey learned certain basic goods could be hard to find there.
"There's certain simple things you can't get downtown," Azzouz said. "If you wanted a Coke, you had to go to a restaurant. If you wanted chips, you have to leave downtown. If you needed ibuprofen, you had to leave downtown. If you needed a feminine product, you had to leave downtown. And when you leave downtown, you lose your parking spot, and you don't know where you'll have to park when you come back."
That realization prompted some brainstorming by the two.
"I called Andrea and said, 'I have an idea. Listen to me before you shut it down,'" said Godfrey. "'It's a little crazy.'"
The idea was for the two to open a general store where people who work downtown could walk to buy the sodas, candies, chips and over-the-counter drugs they might need or want during the day.
"She made her proposal, and I just said, 'Let's do it,'" said Azzouz. "We saw a need."
Though neither had any background in retail, everything came together within a few weeks and in March the pair opened The Green Door General Store at 246 N. Hamilton St. The name comes from the green door in the back of the building that the two entered almost every day while getting the building ready.
"We started talking in January," said Azzouz. "We rented this building Feb. 1, and we opened on March 1. We did it all ourselves, Ashlee, myself and Brittany Babb (who works in the store most days). We contacted the vendors and ordered everything."
Godfrey said one of their goals in opening the store was to spare downtown workers the need to leave downtown during the workday.
"You can come in here and get a snack, get a coffee, get an energy drink," Azzouz said. "You can pick up some items you might need at home, such as toilet paper or cleaning products and things like that. You don't need to stop ... on the way home."
The store offers much more than snacks and household basics.
"We pretty quickly figured out we couldn't sustain this place just as a convenience store," said Azzouz. "You can't sell that many bags of chips a day. You can't sell that many energy drinks."
"So, we added things such as some furniture pieces, a few things for kids when they come in during the downtown car shows, some handbags, some koozies," said Azzouz.
The store carries a wide selection of Amish-made butter, chow chow, pickles and relishes, salsas and other goods. And it has the popular Native Roots line of syrups and tonics as well as Swan Creek candles and Dolly Parton cake mixes.
It also carries a number of craft works by local vendors as well as fresh eggs from local farmers and fresh flowers from a local gardener.
"We try to keep as much local goods as we can. We are always looking for more local items to sell, whether it is jewelry or freshly cut flowers or other items," said Godfrey. "When the downtown farmers market opens up this spring, we hope to be able to start offering some fresh, locally grown produce from some of those farmers. We are also always asking customers what they want, and we try to get it in if we can."
And what do customers ask for the most?
"It's often candies and chocolates they remember from years ago that they can't find anymore," said Azzouz. "We look for them and get them when we can. But a lot of times, we just can't find them."
The store is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. | https://www.dailycitizen.news/news/local_news/green-door-general-store-now-open-in-downtown-dalton/article_b156dd1a-bf2a-11ec-bf03-93a6d523fd96.html | 2022-04-19T17:41:12Z | https://www.dailycitizen.news/news/local_news/green-door-general-store-now-open-in-downtown-dalton/article_b156dd1a-bf2a-11ec-bf03-93a6d523fd96.html | true | 1 |
Thanks to a variety of reports (and common sense) NBC’s new Sunday Night Football booth has been apparent for a while now.
The addition of Melissa Stark to replace the outgoing Michele Tafoya was the final piece to that particular puzzle, and today NBC made the news official with a release. There aren’t any surprises. As expected, in addition to Stark, it will be Mike Tirico finally taking over play-by-play duties, alongside holdover Cris Collinsworth.
From NBC’s release:
Tirico and Collinsworth have teamed to call 21 NFL games (19 regular season, two preseason) since Tirico joined NBC Sports in 2016. Stark, NBC Sports’ newest team member, served as sideline reporter for ABC’s Monday Night Football for three seasons (2000-02), and has been a host and reporter for NFL Network since 2011.
“Sunday Night Football is destination viewing and we are thrilled to have Mike, Cris and Melissa call the action and tell the stories that football fans have come to expect from primetime TV’s #1 show,” said Pete Bevacqua, NBC Sports Chairman.
The trio will work its first game together at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game in primetime on Thursday, Aug. 4 on NBC and Peacock. On Thursday, Sept. 8, Tirico, Collinsworth and Stark will call the NFL Kickoff Game on NBC and Peacock.
Tirico remains one of the strongest and most versatile broadcasters in sports, and he’ll be a welcome addition back to the world of primetime NFL calls. This truly has been a tumultuous offseason in the world of NFL television. The only top booth to remain the same is at CBS, while FOX, NBC, and ESPN all saw big changes (or direct ports.) Plus there’s Amazon building a new booth from scratch and going with Al Michaels to lead it.
It’s hard to imagine a future year matching this one in terms of sheer turnover. Things will settle down now for a while, most likely, but turning on NFL games this fall will feel a lot different all around.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Authorities in Puerto Rico said Tuesday that an electronic toll collection system was the target of a cyberattack over the weekend, the latest such incident in recent years.
The system, known as AutoExpreso, is run by a private operator called Professional Account Management.
It wasn’t immediately clear when the system would be back online and whether any confidential information was stolen. Officials said they would soon provide more details.
The incident reported Saturday comes three months after an attack crippled the internet provider, phone system and official online page of Puerto Rico’s Senate. Previously, in 2021, a cyberattack hit the website of a private company that took over the transmission and distribution of electricity in the U.S. territory.
Meanwhile, in 2020, an online scam tried to steal more than $4 million from Puerto Rican government agencies, forcing authorities to freeze nearly $3 million. That same year, hackers targeted the database of Puerto Rico’s fire department and demanded $600,000 in an alleged extortion act. | https://www.keloland.com/news/national-world-news/cyberattack-cripples-puerto-rico-toll-collection-system/ | 2022-04-19T17:51:45Z | https://www.keloland.com/news/national-world-news/cyberattack-cripples-puerto-rico-toll-collection-system/ | false | 43 |
Which heated mattress pad is best?
Heated mattress pads offer a comfortable way to nestle into a warm bed without running the furnace or blasting a space heater all night. They come in all bed sizes, and some even offer dual heat settings for partners. Heated mattress pads also offer therapeutic relief for conditions that cause joint and muscle aches.
The size, heat settings, and materials all factor into which pad works best for your needs. If you’re looking for a reliable pad with versatile features, the Sunbeam Quilted Heated Mattress Pad offers the best functionality at a reasonable price.
What to know before you buy a heated mattress pad
The size, materials and ease of use are all key factors to think about as you search. Heated mattress pads come with various heat settings and features, so it’s helpful to identify the most valuable settings for you.
Size
The size of the mattress pad depends on the size of your mattress. You can find most pads in sizes twin, full, queen and king. Some mattress pads also come in extra sizes like California king and twin XL.
Cords
Consider how easy the pad is for you to use in your bedroom. The length of the power cord needs to reach from the mattress to the nearest outlet easily. Similarly, the length of the controller cord needs to be comfortable for you to operate while lying in bed. Measure those two lengths to better understand what cord length you need.
Material
Most heated mattress pads come wrapped in polyester for water resistance and easy cleaning. Pads made of cotton or a cotton blend are less common. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s instructions on whether your pad is safe to cover with a fitted sheet or not.
What to look for in a quality heated mattress pad
As you browse for the best heated mattress pad for your bed, consider features that contribute to a better night’s sleep, such as dual heat settings, an auto shut-off mode and machine washable material.
Dual settings
Mattress pads offer either single or double heat settings. Dual settings let couples choose their individual heat preferences. If you don’t sleep alone, this may be the ideal option since not everybody likes sleeping at the same temperature.
Auto shut-off
An automatic shut-off function is handy both for safety and comfort. A heated pad with this functionality turns itself off after a certain period.
This timer may be pre-set, or you may be able to set an adjustable timer for when you want the heat to turn off for up to 12 hours long.
Machine-washable
Most pads are machine-washable, but you should confirm that before purchasing. Additionally, check whether the pad is safe to tumble dry, as that varies by brand. Remove all controllers and extraneous wiring before you toss it in the laundry.
How much you can expect to spend on a heated mattress pad
A king-sized pad costs between $80-$250.
Heated mattress pad FAQ
What’s the difference between a heated mattress pad and an electric blanket?
A. A heated mattress pad is more similar to a regular mattress pad than an electric blanket in that it is fitted to the size of the bed and stays put beneath you under the sheets. Since you lay on top of it, the heat rises toward your body rather than up and away from your body. It can’t become tangled or balled up, so it is less likely to catch fire. As you sleep, it stays in place, so you can toss and turn without kicking it off the bed.
Is it safe to sleep with a heated mattress pad?
A. Yes, as long as you use them carefully and properly. Use common sense, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and refrain from installing them for those with limited mobility who may not be able to address any malfunctions on their own.
Can I wash my heated mattress pad?
A. Yes. Most heated mattress pads are machine-washable. Check with your manufacturer’s instructions before adding it to the wash. Also, check whether they are safe for a dryer or whether you should line dry them. Remove the controllers and extraneous wiring before you toss them in the laundry.

- Brands are increasingly using data to forecast the performance of influencer marketing campaigns.
- Many brands focus on the performance metrics, such as views and likes, of past campaigns.
- Media kits often include these stats and examples of branded content. Here are 5 examples.
Influencer marketing is becoming an advertising channel like any other, which means brands are taking a data-driven approach to measure the performance of campaigns with creators.
"Brands are increasingly asking to see historic data about how past branded campaigns with influencers performed," Alessandro Bogliari, cofounder and CEO of influencer marketing agency The Influencer Marketing Factory, told Insider. "As agencies, we are constantly trying to obtain this kind of data and forecast campaign outcomes."
Creators are becoming increasingly professional and presenting themselves as businesspeople, with elaborate pitches, proposals, and media kits. A media kit — the equivalent of a resume for a creator — often includes a creator's bio, as well as data about their following, average reach, and audience demographics. And, increasingly, media kits are also including metrics from and examples of past brand campaigns.
Creators know that brands want to see proof of how successful their past collaborations with brands have been. In their media kits, they usually explain their strategy for a branded campaign and provide screenshots of how the posts performed, including data around likes, reach, comments, and saves.
"The media kit should be a reflection of how you would pitch anything in a business context," said Karlie Place, who makes travel content and has almost 1 million TikTok followers. "You want to have proof of concept and be able to say, 'Here is a hard example of the ROI that I have brought to similar collaborations.'"
Many creators take inspiration from sales decks and business pitches.
"I wanted to be looked at as a professional and as a entrepreneur," Florence Williams, a micro-influencer and social media coach, said. "I started researching professional sales decks, and I thought, 'I can totally do this for my industry.'"
Insider spoke with five content creators about which examples of past collaborations they include in their media kits and which information they prioritize.
All of them said they update their media kits multiple times a year — usually once a quarter — with updated statistics. Some of them also have different types of media kits depending on the type and scope of the brand they're pitching.
Here are 5 examples of past brand partnerships creators use in their media kits. The creators are listed in alphabetical order:
Demi Bang, lifestyle blogger (17,500 Instagram followers)
Bang's media kit includes one page with a case study of a past brand collaboration. She changes which example she uses depending on whether the brand she's pitching is local or national.
In this case, she shows a partnership with ultra-low-cost airline Allegiant Airlines. She chose this example because it was one of her most ambitious projects, she said, with multiple deliverables over the course of three days. This helps her when pitching more expansive deals with new brands.
Bang breaks down the campaign and includes photos she took for it.
The slide reads:
CASE STUDY
Working with an airline to help raise awareness for their non-credit card rewards program.
CHALLENGE
Allegiant Airlines approached Demi to raise awareness of their newly launched rewards program: Allways.
STRATEGY
To kick-off the campaign and immediately generate interest, Demi segued her personal goal of visiting all 50 states.
RESULTS
Throughout the three-day campaign, Allegiant generated 8.7k+ impressions online, reaching more than 4.1k+ individuals. Demi's blog post was viewed 2.4k+ times by 1.3k+ people.
Please inquire for additional case studies.
Florence Williams, beauty creator (13,500 Instagram followers)
Florence Williams' media kit includes two pages with examples of past partnerships.
Williams provides a summary of what her strategy was for the campaign, along with sample screenshots of posts with data like comments, shares, saves, and reach, and views if the post was a video.
The slide reads:
Recent projects
Restorative Elements
Collaboration with Restorative Elements to promote their line of products that help with hyperpigmentation and dark marks in a gentle way. This is a long-term partnership. I raised awareness by creating in-feed posts to share about the brands key ingredients Centella Asiatica, Niacinamide and Licorice Roots.
Osea Malibu
Teamed up with Osea Malibu to promote their best-selling Undaria Algae Body Oil via an In-feed Reel + Stories. Highlighted the brand's origins and skincare benefits of algae. Drove traffic to their website via a swipe-up link for 4 weeks via stories.
The slide reads:
RITUALS Cosmetics
Partnered with RITUALS Cosmetics to showcase their home fragrance collection. Main objective was to drive brand awareness for this sustainable and selfcare focused brand. I achieved this by creating Instagram content in-feed, stories and cross promotion via Pinterest.
CurlFormers By Hair Flair
Worked with Curlformers to promote an Instagram live via an in-feed post and Instagram stories. In my post, I told my audience to join me as I cohost a live on the Hair Flair Instagram page. The live was to promote community in the natural hair space. I spoke about my journey with accepting my hair texture, styles that work for me and techniques that keep my hair healthy.
Karlie Place, travel creator (922,000 TikTok followers)
Karlie Place's media kit includes two examples of past brand partnerships — one for a "physical" brand, the other for an "experiential" brand.
The first slide is a recap of a campaign she did for energy bar brand Clif in 2020. She said she includes this example because it represents the quality of the content she produces and how she tends to "overdeliver" by producing extra content for free.
The slide reads:
Clif Bar launched a campaign to showcase their limited edition packaging featuring 6 female athletes instead of the usual rock climbers. The influencer marketing campaign required one Instagram feed post, and 4-8 IG story slides with a tracked, swipeable link. Karlie conceptualized and executed two styled shoots for this campaign. The final images turned out great, generating 1,328 likes and 41 comments on the IG feed. During the creation of the content, Karlie shot behind the scenes footage and produced additional materials for this campaign at no extra cost. Karlie showcased this footage on TikTok and generated 1.4 Million views, 300k likes and 353 comments.
Along with the campaign summary, Place also includes examples of the photos she produced and a screenshot of a video she shared on TikTok — which was not included in the contract with the brand — with views, likes, and comments.
For the case study for an "experiential" brand, Place includes a campaign she did for Acro Suites, a Greek luxury resort she partnered with in 2021. Choosing this campaign to include as an example was easy, Place said, because it was the most successful campaign she ever did in terms of reach.
The slide reads:
In 2021, Karlie traveled to Greece to shoot social media content for six different high-end resorts. One of which is Acro Suites, a brand new up and coming luxury resort located in Crete. Karlie provided a gallery of 350 Images, 4 Short Videos, and 3 Feed posts. The content consists of FPV Drone video, professional photos, and lifestyle content. This was an exchange style collaboration. Karlie also provided a one-on-one mastermind session to the Acro Suites social media team where she shared a lesson on short form media best practices and provided them with custom documents that cover the entire lesson for future use.
Along with the campaign description, Place includes screenshots of three TikTok videos and three in-feed Instagram posts she made. The screenshots of videos show views, shares, likes, and comments, while the screenshots of photos include likes.
Lauren SoYung Lim, fashion creator (170,000 TikTok followers)
Lim includes two pages with screenshots of past branded campaigns in her media kit.
The first page of past collaborations is dedicated to Instagram content.
The screenshots of in-feed Instagram posts show likes, comments, shares, and saves, as well as how many profile visits they got and the total reach, while the Stories only show likes.
Lim told Insider that it has long been a habit of hers to include examples of past brand partnerships in her media kit.
She added that while has been trying to pivot to working with more high-end, sustainable fashion and beauty brands, she still includes some of her best-performing campaigns — such as the one with Princess Polly — to show what she's able to achieve.
On the second page of examples, Lim includes five screenshots of branded TikTok videos. The screenshots show the number of views each one got.
Lim includes examples of some of her best-performing branded TikTok videos, along with content she made for her "target" brands — or the brands that she'd like to partner with more often — even if they didn't perform as well as others, she said.
Zara Khan, creator and social media coach (10,500 Instagram followers)
Two pages of Zara Khan's media kit showcase her past experience promoting brands.
One is for testimonials, or written praise from brand representatives that she's previously worked with.
Another page, shown here, includes examples of past campaigns she did on Instagram and TikTok — in this case, Amazon Prime Student and ContraHQ — along with snapshots of her backend stats and her views on Instagram Reels and TikTok videos.
Instagram backend stats include likes, comments, sends, saves, accounts reached, interactions, and profile visits from a post. On TikTok, they include video views, profile views, likes, comments, shares, and follows.
Unlike other creators, Khan does not show the insights for her past brand deals. Instead, she focused on unbranded posts because those perform better and give a more accurate idea of the overall performance of a profile, she told Insider.
"When I decide what pieces of content to give as examples of insights, obviously I will pick a post that I think looks good and performed well," she said. "This gives future brands insight into how my posts perform."

Microsoft has just announced the newest games coming to Xbox Game Pass later this month, and offered a glimpse at the fruits of its partnership with Ubisoft.
The library had already added ten games in April, including Life is Strange: True Colors and MLB: The Show 22, but it’s not over yet for subscribers.
This month, seven more games are coming to Xbox Game Pass across cloud, PC and console, including:
Today
- F1 2021 (Cloud/EA Play)
- Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered (Cloud/EA Play)
- Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion (Cloud, Console and PC)
April 26
- 7 Days to Die (Cloud, Console and PC)
- Research and Destroy (Console and PC)
April 28
- Bugsnax (Cloud, Console and PC)
- Unsouled (Console and PC)
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion allows you to take control of the titular turnip to help it repay its debts, in a blend of puzzle solving and dungeon crawling. 7 Days to Die is an open-world game filled with zombies, with FPS, survival horror, and tower defense elements.
Research and Destroy is a turn-based action game where researching new weapons and using them against Supernatural hordes is equally key to save humanity, and Unsouled is a souls-like action-RPG game with “a punishingly difficult (yet fair)” combat experience.
Also, don’t forget about Bugsnax, with the former PlayStation exclusive now coming to Game Pass complete with a brand new expansion called The Isle of Bigsnax, but good news ain’t over yet.
As shared on Xbox Wire, “in the next two months,” Assassin’s Creed Origins and For Honor: Marching Fire Edition will be coming to Game Pass across PC, console and cloud. While the Marching Fire Edition will only be an upgrade on console, this is the first time an Assassin’s Creed game joins Xbox Game Pass.
This is a result of Microsoft and Ubisoft partnering on Xbox Game Pass as announced in January, when it was announced that Rainbow Six Extraction would be joining the platform upon day one.
Finally, on April 30, four games are leaving Xbox Game Pass, including Cricket 19, Outlast 2, Secret Neighbor, and Streets of Rage 4.

Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) stock is in focus after the company reported stronger-than-expected first-quarter results today. Halliburton sells equipment used to locate and drill for oil.
The company reported adjusted earnings per share of 35 cents, versus analysts’ average estimate of 34 cents. Halliburton’s revenue came in at $4.28 billion, slightly higher than the mean estimate of $4.2 billion. Its sales climbed 24% versus the same period a year earlier, while its adjusted EPS soared 84% YOY. Halliburton CEO Jeff Miller said:
“I expect our strong international business to increase throughout the remainder of the year. First quarter revenue growth in all our international regions together with North America demonstrates that this multi-year upcycle is well underway. … Both of our divisions delivered strong margin performance despite weather and supply chain disruptions, with Drilling and Evaluation margin eclipsing 15% in the first quarter for the first time since 2010.”
Halliburton anticipates that it will deliver high free cash flow going forward. HAL stock had jumped 82% in 2022 and more than 100% over the preceding 12 months.
What Does Wall Street Think About HAL Stock?
On April 1, Goldman Sachs identified Halliburton as a firm with a great deal of “pricing power.” According to Goldman, “Pricing power will become increasingly important in the face of continued inflation and cost pressures.”
JPMorgan Chase last month estimated that Halliburton had not obtained more than 2% of its sales from Russia. Halliburton had announced on March 18 that “it immediately suspended future business in Russia” and had decided to “wind down” [its] remaining operations in Russia.

While it is true that we’ve still yet to see an Intel Alder Lake Chromebook actually hit the market, we know they are fast approaching. With devices like the HP Elite Dragonfly, ASUS Flip CX5601, and Lenovo Flex 5i already announced, it is only a matter of time before we have production-level versions of these Chromebooks in-hand and in stores for purchase. But that’s only 3 devices known on a list that is at least 14 Chromebooks deep at this point: many of which have been in development just as long as the three listed above.
That means we’re in for a decent wave of Alder Lake Chromebooks in the next quarter or so. With a few of these devices slated for the May/June 2022 timeframe, it stands to reason that some of these still-code-named-only Chromebooks will join in on the fun in the same release window.
Yet, with all these Alder Lake Chromebooks in the works already, there seems to still be room for even more in development. Let’s remember that 11th-gen Tiger Lake Chromebooks launched throughout the entirety of 2021, so we could see a constant trickle of 12th-gen devices for the rest of the 2022 calendar year. That leaves room for additional players in the latest-gen Chromebook wave, and a new one has joined the ranks today in ‘Osiris’.
As you can see, ‘Osiris’ is being cloned from the ‘Brya’ reference board and that simply means it will be of the 12th-gen Alder Lake variety. But a few other things can be gathered from the earliest commits, including the addition of a backlit keyboard, ambient light sensor, and a convertible form factor.
Apart from that, we don’t know much just yet about ‘Osiris’, but this new board is only days old at this point. Hopefully we’ll be able to pin down who is making it, some details about the display, and some other features that may be coming along with it. With fan support confirmed, a backlit keyboard, and ALS on board, it stands to reason that this could be a mid-high-range Chromebook, but until I find some further details, I can’t be certain. For now, we’re keeping an eye on ‘Osiris’ to see where it goes while we wait for further confirmation on more of these Alder Lake Chromebooks. | https://chromeunboxed.com/chromebook-intel-alder-lake-12th-gen-osiris | 2022-04-19T18:09:40Z | https://chromeunboxed.com/chromebook-intel-alder-lake-12th-gen-osiris | true | 1 |

Joseph F. Kahn has been named the new executive editor of The New York Times, the paper’s publisher A.G. Sulzberger announced on Tuesday.
Previously a managing editor, Kahn will succeed Dean Baquet when his eight-year tenure concludes in June. Baquet, 65, is stepping down at the traditional age for the top-ranking editor at the paper.
“For many people, especially those who have worked alongside Joe — a brilliant journalist and a brave and principled leader — this announcement will come as no surprise,” Sulzberger wrote in a memo to the staff of the Times. “Joe brings impeccable news judgment, a sophisticated understanding of the forces shaping the world and a long track record of helping journalists produce their most ambitious and courageous work.”
Since joining the Times in 1998, Kahn has served in numerous roles, including as the paper’s Beijing bureau chief, international editor and as a reporter in the paper’s Washington bureau. His first position on the masthead was as assistant editor for the international desk, before he took on the role of managing editor in September 2016. He was previously the Times’ No. 2 ranking editor.
Kahn will step into a role that has seen Baquet at the center of both praise and controversy, as the paper navigates the balance of its traditional values with the changing world of news and media. As the Times’ first Black executive editor, Baquet helmed the paper through 18 Pulitzer Prize wins. Baquet helped to oversee multiple groundbreaking investigations, including the Times’ reporting on the sexual misconduct of Harvey Weinstein. He also saw the paper’s subscription base grow 10 times to more than 10 million, the Times reported.
Baquet was also the subject of much criticism, most recently for his approach to the paper’s social media policies and the newsroom’s diversity. The Times’ 2018 podcast “Caliphate” was found to have reported false and exaggerated information, and the paper’s top science reporter, Donald McNeil, left in 2020 after it came to light that he used a racist slur while speaking with a group of high school students on a Times-sponsored trip.
Kahn will step into his new role on June 14. Baquet will remain at the Times, but it was not immediately clear what his next role will be.

MADISON, Wis., April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TrackCore has implemented its 500th Terso Solutions smart enclosure. The adoption of this RFID enabled technology continues to accelerate throughout U.S. healthcare systems.
A Partnership Built on Data
"This milestone shows that our partnership and integrated solutions are addressing critical pain points that hospitals experience with manual tracking processes," said Ross MacGregor, Vice President of Business Development at TrackCore Inc. "Automation through the use of Terso's RFID, along with TrackCore EHR and ERP integrations, creates a touchless approach for our end users and helps these facilities maintain a fully compliant workflow."
How TrackCore is Helping Solve Compliance Issues Through Automation
- According to the UPS Healthcare Supply Chain Vital Signs U.S. Hospitals Study, upwards of 40-60% of a hospital's total supply expenditures are represented by the operating room and the items moving through these spaces are often tissues and biologics, which are typically temperature regulated and require a greater level of compliance.
- A large Wisconsin health system found they were able to meet the strict Joint Commission and FDA regulations through the traceability, real-time visibility, and accuracy that TrackCore and Terso integrated solutions provided. Some of the benefits this health system achieved include:
Moving Towards a Real-time Healthcare Supply Chain
"Healthcare staff need reliable and visible inventory information, which truly enables better patient care," said Jason Rosemurgy, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Terso. "We've…taken two best in class organizations and combined them with user-friendly technology to automate healthcare workflows and provide chain of custody for critical products. It exemplifies a partnership dedicated to improving inventory management processes and continues to move the market towards the real-time healthcare system."

Beenie Man says he is ready to drop off his new album, SIMMA.
The dancehall legend has once again confirmed that his new album should be here soon. The “Rum and Redbull” deejay gave the assurance while speaking with the Observer at the retro party Yush over the weekend. Beenie Man confirmed that all the tracks had been recorded, and all he is waiting on is approval from his record label, VP Records. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of the album, which he has been teasing for some time now.
The last time he released a full album was in 2006, when he dropped Undisputed. That album produced a plethora of hits as he’s become synonymous with. Some of the classics off of that album include “Heart Attack” and “Chacka Dance.”
Beenie Man revealed the confirmation as he spoke with publication following his performance at the popular party that returned after a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19. The Grammy winner also disclosed that it felt beautiful that the entertainment industry had reopened. He added that it would surely be a boost to the Jamaican economy as well.
“This is not my first show since the industry has opened, but it’s my first concert. I thank God for giving me health and strength to be able to be here tonight. It feels tremendous to be able to see and perform for my Jamaican people again,” he continued.
In 2020, the veteran revealed that he was working on the album and was in no rush to complete it. He explained at that time that he would only release that album when he felt that he was mentally and emotionally ready. Previously he stated that the album would be released for his birthday in August 2021, but that didn’t happen either.
Beenie Man’s life was in a bit of an upheaval at the time since he had recently lost his mother, Lilieth Sewell, who had suffered a stroke and died at the age of 63.
In an update in 2021, he told ZIP FM, “Wi jus a wait pon di video fi finish. Wi actually a wait pon a release date from VP records but the album is already complete, everything done – the pictures, already take, the cover already been made an everything, suh yah man, di album is actually finished.”
The album is expected to have a number of exciting features from both rising talents and veterans. Some of the artists confirmed so far include Bounty Killer, Shaggy, Sean Paul, Popcaan, Dre Island, Dexta Daps, and Major Lazer. | https://dutchcaribbeannews.com/beenie-man-says-simma-album-done-and-to-be-release-under-vp-records/ | 2022-04-19T18:15:19Z | https://dutchcaribbeannews.com/beenie-man-says-simma-album-done-and-to-be-release-under-vp-records/ | true | 11 |

Toddler pricked by dirty needle found on changing table in public bathroom
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO/Gray News) – A toddler in Ohio was pricked by a dirty needle left in a public bathroom.
The child was on the changing table when it happened.
Hannah Jett said she was changing her 2-year-old son Deacon’s diaper at a Speedway gas station when she heard her son say “ouchie” and then hold out a needle in his hand.
Deacon’s hand had been punctured, and he was bleeding.
“I see blood, it was just terrible,” Jett said. “I work in healthcare, so I knew that you need to make it bleed and then wash it with soap and water.”
Jett took her son and the needle to the hospital to be tested for infectious diseases like HIV and hepatitis. Thankfully, Deacon’s results came back negative, but he will have to undergo the testing several more times.
“It’s just so nerve-racking because I’m just like terrified. Sometimes they don’t test positive right away. So, he’s gonna have to get blood tests in three months and six months as well,” Jett said.
Jett thinks the needle was hidden in a compartment where the sanitary napkins go.
“I think the needle was stowed in there, and he must have just grabbed it whenever I was putting the diaper on,” she said. “That’s some place you would never check either.”
Jett is also upset because she claims officials don’t really seem to care about what happened.
Jett says she called Akron police last week, and the department told her to come down in person to file a report. When she got there, however, she says the officer on duty didn’t take a report and told her it wasn’t a police matter.
Jett also called the health department. A spokesperson told WOIO that Jett’s report should have triggered an inspector to go to Safeway and investigate, but that didn’t happen.
When WOIO contacted the health department, they sent an inspector to the gas station.
Jett wonders if bathroom drug use is just so common that it’s not taken seriously.
WOIO reached out to Speedway to find out whether it had taken any action at the store where the incident happened.
A spokesperson for Speedway’s parent company, 7-Eleven, Inc., responded, saying, “The safety of our customers and associates is our top priority. We are deeply concerned about this incident and have been in contact with the customer impacted. The restroom has been thoroughly sanitized.”

Re: We’re creeping ever closer to U.S.-style health care system — April 14
This letter writer complains that the Ontario health care system is moving too close to the U.S. model because public funds are being used to fund privately owned long-term care homes. Readers who agree with this sentiment may want to note that the second largest chain of for-profit long-term care homes in Canada is Rivera Inc. Not only do some of their homes have a reputation for less than good service but the company is solely owned by the Public Service Pension Plan — that is correct, the pension plan that provides pensions to our public service employees.
There are many countries with better rated and less expensive health care systems than Canada (which is one of the most expensive and not rated in the top 10). Perhaps it is time for our politicians to take a close look at the funding and delivery of other countries’ health care. | https://www.therecord.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editors/2022/04/19/public-sector-pension-plan-owns-private-ltc-homes.html | 2022-04-19T18:18:49Z | https://www.therecord.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editors/2022/04/19/public-sector-pension-plan-owns-private-ltc-homes.html | true | 1 |

RICHMOND, Ky. (AP) — New charges have been filed against a Kentucky man accused of fatally shooting the daughter of a former Kentucky lawmaker during a home invasion.
Shannon Gilday, 23, was charged on Saturday with strangulation and assault on a corrections officer, news outlets reported, citing court records. He’s accused of placing his forearm on the neck of a deputy jailer and causing him to have trouble breathing. A not guilty plea was entered for Gilday on the new charges and he’s due back in court on April 27, WKYT-TV reported.
Gilday was originally arrested in February after allegedly breaking into a multimillion-dollar Madison County home owned by former lawmaker C. Wesley Morgan and shooting Jordan Morgan while she was asleep, according to court records and statements from Morgan. He was indicted last week on charges of capital murder, attempted murder, assault, burglary and criminal mischief. | https://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/new-charges-filed-against-suspect-in-fatal-home-invasion/article_399be132-c009-11ec-a37c-d75b32c4b928.html | 2022-04-19T18:21:20Z | https://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/new-charges-filed-against-suspect-in-fatal-home-invasion/article_399be132-c009-11ec-a37c-d75b32c4b928.html | true | 11 |
Two mums have forged an amazing friendship after meeting while their babies battled for their lives.
Laura McArdle and Lauren Gordon met when their babies were undergoing life-saving surgery in Newcastle's Freeman Hospital. At just a day old Archie Gordon had to undergo emergency surgery to remove half of his lung, which had developed into a mass of cysts instead of normal lung tissue and in the next bay was seven-month-old Oliver McArdle who was undergoing his second surgery to correct a hole in his heart.
Both the anxious mums realised they were from the Teesside area and chatted while they were in the hospital in February 2020. Several months later Laura was thinking about their time in the hospital and wondered how Lauren and her family were getting on. She tracked them down through social media and the two mums are now best friends.

Miraculously, both the boys recovered well from their surgeries, and although they need regular check-ups medics are happy with their progress.
Civil servant Laura, 34, who lives in Hemlington with her husband, Simon, 33, a software developer, and their son, said Oliver and Archie were in the bays next to each other in the intensive care unit. She said: "We could hear the other family talking and recognised the Teesside accent."
She said the babies were moved out of ICU at different times, but again ended up beside each other on the high dependency unit. Laura said although they chatted, they left the hospital without any contact details.
Laura said: "One day a few months later, I was wondering how the couple and their baby were doing and managed to track them down through a social media platform. Lauren and I got chatting and met up and since then have became the best of friends.
"We have so many similarities such as both the same age, both married our spouses in the same year, live ten minutes apart, to name a few. It’s just amazing how we met through the worst days of our lives, can share our journeys of hospital check up etc and just have so much in common."
Lauren, 33, a council worker from Stockton, said she and bank worker husband, Carl, 36, found out their son was seriously ill at a 20-week scan. Surgeons had to operate the day after Archie was born to remove the mass from the left lung. She said they thought they might have to remove the whole lung, but managed to save half of it.
She said going through something like that as a parent is very frightening and although both Archie and Oliver are happy, active little boys, the worry is always at the back of the mind, especially at hospital appointment times.
Lauren said: "Having Laura as a friend is great. I just feel like she knows what I have been through and I know what she has been through. We support each other, especially when it comes to check ups."
And, of course the two-year-old boys are both loving having a playmate when they mums meet up.

Austin weighs plan to offer $1,000 monthly payments to 85 families at risk of losing homes
Saying their aim is to manage the city's homelessness problem until more housing becomes available, Austin leaders are getting close to launching a pilot program to distribute $1 million in taxpayer money to Austin families at risk of losing their homes.
Austin would join about 50 U.S. cities providing direct, no-strings-attached assistance — known to advocates as "guaranteed income" — to families through nonprofits or local governments. In Austin, the proposed program calls for selecting 85 families to each get $1,000 every month for a full year. The recipients would have wide discretion on how to spend it: food, housing, child care, or anything else they need or desire.
The Austin City Council approved the funding for the program last summer in the annual budget. On Thursday, council members are scheduled vote on whether to hire a California nonprofit to develop the program. That work would include establishing application requirements and choosing which families get the money.
If approved, the program would probably begin this summer.

More:Median home price soars past $520,000 in Austin area's tight housing market
Handing out taxpayer money in such a way will surely face pushback — from fiscal conservatives not just in the community but on the City Council — but the measure appears to have the votes needed to pass.
In approving the funding last August, only three council members spoke against the program: Mackenzie Kelly, Leslie Pool and Alison Alter. They suggested it would make a positive impact, but that it should be funded not by the city but through philanthropy or the federal government. Eight other council members showed support or were silent.
Addressing those concerns, Mayor Steve Adler said Monday that he thinks the city will spend less money on the front end through the monthly payments than in providing housing and services for people who might otherwise end up on the streets.
"If we can divert people from homelessness at this cost, it would be really good," he said.
Adler said it's his understanding that the recipients will not have to pay taxes on the money.
Council Member Vanessa Fuentes said: "By having this funding available we're providing stability and security for people and we're doing it in a dignified way. They can choose how to emphasize these funds — rent, food, child care. We're providing that lifeline for families living on the edge."
The total projected cost is $1.18 million — $1.02 million for the 85 families and $160,000 for the vendor, UpTogether.
The program is recommended by the Reimagining Public Safety Task Force, a group of mostly social justice activists the city convened in 2020 aafter Austin's protests against police misconduct. The group issued many recommendations, and the City Council funded nine of them, costing a total of $9.3 million.
Gary, Ind. — suffering from declining population and limited jobs — distributes $500 a month to 125 residents for one year. The program is funded in part by Mayors for a Guaranteed Income, a network of city leaders whose membership includes Adler, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner.
Last year, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey gave the organization $18 million.
Some cities have programs targeting specific individuals. In Jackson, Miss., a nonprofit behind one of the nation's longest-running guaranteed income programs distributes $1,000 a month to Black mothers.
Austin's problems are related not to declining population but to a population explosion.
Last week, the Travis Central Appraisal District released updated home appraisals for 2022 that left many taxpayers with sticker shock. In just one year, the median home market value jumped 53% to $632,000.
According to Zumper, a site that analyzes the rental market in big cities, the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Austin is $1,570 a month, and a two-bedroom apartment is $1,900.
The rising costs have contributed to growth in the city's homeless population — a troubling development as the city has nowhere to put more than 2,000 people estimated to be living on the streets. An ongoing plan to develop 3,000 new housing units is contingent on securing $500 million in government and donated money; $100 million must still be raised.
In the November election, housing affordability and homelessness are shaping up to be main issues in the race to succeed Adler as mayor.
"We spend a lot of money on social services, and I think we owe it to taxpayers to constantly look for better and more efficient ways to achieve outcomes," Adler said. | https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2022/04/19/guaranteed-income-austin-considers-1-000-monthly-payments-85-families/7358831001/ | 2022-04-19T18:21:34Z | https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2022/04/19/guaranteed-income-austin-considers-1-000-monthly-payments-85-families/7358831001/ | false | 1 |
Open universities
Greek universities are finally doing what they need to do, taking steps that should have gone without saying.
They are defying reactions from small groups protecting vested interests and assuming initiatives that will help them build bridges with the institutional representatives of the market.
The benefits from such moves will be mutual, which is why the state needs to do everything in its power to encourage them. The only people who have anything to lose from universities that are open to new things are the champions of doing nothing. | https://www.ekathimerini.com/opinion/1182517/open-universities/ | 2022-04-19T18:21:56Z | https://www.ekathimerini.com/opinion/1182517/open-universities/ | false | null |

TG Therapeutics (TGTX) Withdraws FDA Submission, Stock Down
TG Therapeutics, Inc. TGTX has voluntarily decided to withdraw its pending biologics license application (BLA)/supplemental new drug application (sNDA) seeking approval for the combination of its approved drug, Ukoniq, and pipeline candidate, ublituximab. The combination regimen is referred to as U2.
The BLA/sNDA sought approval for U2 as a potential treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) in adult patients. The company completed the rolling submission of the BLA/sNDA in 2021 based on data from a successfully completed phase III study — UNITY-CLL — evaluating the U2 combination regimen. The BLA/sNDA was accepted by the FDA last year and the PDUFA goal date was set to Mar 25, 2022.
Apart from the pending BLA/sNDA for U2, TG Therapeutics also withdrew the sale of Ukoniq in its approved indications — marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) and follicular lymphoma (FL). The drug was granted accelerated approval in 2021 to treat adult patients with MZL or FL. The company anticipates the voluntary withdrawal of Ukoniq from the sale to result in the withdrawal of the accelerated approval for the product.
Ukoniq was the only marketed drug in TG Therapeutics’ portfolio. A potential approval to U2 should have boosted sales going forward. The voluntary withdrawal of both the approved product and a pending regulatory application are major setbacks for the company.
Investors’ concern about the prospects of TG Therapeutics resulted in a decline of 21.8% in the company’s stock on Apr 18, following the dismal regulatory updates. In fact, shares of TG Therapeutics have declined 63.6% so far this year compared with the industry’s decline of 11.2%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The UNITY-CLL study was conducted under a special protocol assessment agreement with the FDA with the primary endpoint of progression-free survival (“PFS”). Data from the study showed that U2 prolonged PFS compared to the control arm of the study. However, the FDA raised concerns related to overall survival (“OS”), which was the study’s secondary endpoint but not part of the primary analysis in accordance with the special protocol assessment agreement. The FDA requested an early analysis of OS as part of the review process of the BLA/sNDA for U2. TG Therapeutics’ first analysis as well as updated analysis of the OS demonstrated an increasing imbalance in favor of the control arm.
The imbalance in the OS data led TG Therapeutics to withdraw the pending BLA/sNDA for U2 to treat CLL/SLL.
TG Therapeutics faced a couple of regulatory setbacks with its approved drug as well as the pending BLA/sNDA for U2 in the past few months.
In November 2021, the FDA notified TG Therapeutics that it would hold a meeting of the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) to discuss the pending BLA/sNDA for U2, which was planned for March or April 2022. An advisory meeting was not planned initially and the FDA’s decision to hold an ODAC was based on concerns following an early ad-hoc analysis of OS from the UNITY-CLL study
In January 2022, the FDA placed select studies of U2 and its components for CLL and another targeted indication, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, under partial clinical hold. The ODAC and partial hold was based on the FDA’s concerns related to a possible increased risk of death with Ukoniq. In February, the FDA issued a drug safety communication announcing an investigation of Ukoniq’s risk of death. The regulatory authority also encouraged healthcare providers to review patients’ progress on Ukoniq and share the risks and benefits of continuing treatment with Ukoniq compared to other available treatments.
Currently, TG Therapeutics has one BLA under review with the FDA seeking approval for ublituximab as a potential treatment for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. A decision is expected in September 2022.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will try to demonstrate that last year’s infrastructure law is alleviating the country’s supply chain debacles when he visits Portsmouth Harbor in New Hampshire on Tuesday.
Biden’s destination is the state’s only deep water harbor, making it a critical way station for home heating oil, fiberoptic cables and rock gypsum, which is used to produce drywall.
Under the $1 trillion infrastructure law, $1.7 million will be used to dredge the harbor’s shipping channel and basin. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers already spent $18.2 million to make it easier for larger ships to access the harbor, a project intended to reduce delays that cause higher prices for consumers.
Overall, the law includes $17 billion for upgrading port facilities at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has caused havoc on international supply chains.
Biden’s trip is his second to New Hampshire as president. The state was his first stop after he signed the infrastructure legislation in November, and he spoke in front of an old bridge that’s overdue for repairs.
The president has repeatedly focused on these kinds of initiatives as his more ambitious agenda to boost education, social services and climate change initiatives remains stalled.
With the midterm elections approaching later this year, Biden is eager to convince voters that one of his administration’s top accomplishments is creating concrete progress after years of unfulfilled promises from his predecessor, President Donald Trump, who never cut a deal on infrastructure spending.

BOSTON (AP) — Evans Chebet didn’t know what kind of expectations to have for himself as he prepared to return for his second Boston Marathon.
In 2018, he was among many runners who were forced to pull out due to chilly and wet conditions.
His second trip to Boston proved to bring better weather and a result he’ll remember forever.
Under sunnier more spring-like skies, Chebet separated himself with a late-race charge to win the 126th edition of the world’s oldest annual marathon Monday in a time of 2 hours, 6 minutes, 50 seconds.
“On a day like today I just want to thank God. When I came in 2018, my performance was not as good. Today my performance was better,” a smiling Chebet said through an interpreter.
He led a Kenyan sweep across the finish line. The last time Kenya took the top three spots on the podium was 2012. Chebet is the fifth Kenyan to win the race in 10 years.
Lawrence Cherono crossed second in 2:07:21, followed by Benson Kipruto, who was third in 2:07:27. Tanzania’s Gabriel Geay was stride for stride with Chebet late in the race before fading to fourth at 2:07:53.
Scott Fauble was the top American finisher, coming in seventh at 2:08:52. Kenyan-born American Elkanah Kibet was ninth in 2:09:07. C.J. Albertson was 13th in 2:10:23
Cheering fans lined Boston’s downtown route for the race’s return to its normal spring slot on Patriots’ Day. Chebet led a field of more than 28,000 in running the 26.2-mile course from Hopkinton to the Boylston Street finish line in Copley Square.
It came just six months after the ongoing pandemic limited the marathon to a much smaller field during the only fall edition in the race’s 126-year history.
For the second straight year, Albertson shot to the front of the field at the start and stayed in contention, trading the lead with Kenya’s Bethwel Yegon.
“The only chance for me to really win up there at the top is to break some people,” said Albertson, who led for 20 miles in 2021 before ultimately finishing 10th. “I kind of had the mindset that I’m invincible. You kind of have to think like that.”
Albertson stayed in the mix through Mile 18 when Chebet, Kibet, Yegon and Kenya’s Geoffrey Kamworor moved to the front.
Chibet and Geay later broke away from a lead pack of about 20 runners as the group emerged from Heartbreak Hill around Mile 22 as Albertson and Yegon fell back. Albertson ultimately crossed 13th.
Albertson said he had the wind to keep up his early pace, but ultimately was done in by muscle tightness.
“It was just super unexpected,” he said. “Coming down that hill, the last five miles everything cramped up.”
Chebet used it as an opportunity to pull away with about four miles to go.
“The coaches told me that when you see other people getting closer to you, you have to shoot out and give them some range,” Chebet said. “I was confident that move would do it.”
Looking over his shoulder with about a mile to go, Chebet widened his lead to nearly 20 seconds on his way to the tape.
“I observed that my counterparts were nowhere near me and that gave me motivation,” Chebet said.

Highway 1 east of Golden in the Kicking Horse Canyon will close once again today at noon local time, for a month-long closure as a part of the Kicking Horse Canyon Project.
During this time, traffic will be re-routed through Radium, via Highway 93 and Highway 95. The detour will add approximately 1.5 hours of travel time.
The highway will reopen at noon on Friday, May 20, in time for the May long weekend.
During this time, no through traffic will be allowed, with exceptions for emergency vehicles and limited numbers of commuters with passes. Commuters will escorted by a pilot vehicle, during one half-hour period in the morning and one half-hour period in the afternoon. Similar escorts will be provided for local school buses.

Day passes are available to get through during commuter hours, with only a short supply available. Applications open 24 hours before and can be completed on the Kicking Horse Canyon Project website.
It’s the third round of extended closures to the highway as a part of Phase 4 of the Kicking Horse Canyon Project.
Construction activities will be carried out 24 hours a day and cannot be performed safely in the presence of traffic or during shorter interruptions, says the Ministry of Transportation.
The project will see the highway expanded from two lanes to four with a meridian divider, with approximately 4.8 km of highway being updated, with 13 curves realigned and wider shoulders along the highway to accomodate cyclists.
The closures are a part of the larger Alberta to Kamloops four laning project, with the Province committing $837-million to upgrading Highway 1 between Kamloops and the Alberta border over the next three years under Budget 2021.
Work is also being done on Quartz Creek Bridge just west of Golden, and construction wrapped up on the Illecillewaet Brake Check portion of the highway just east of Revelstoke this past summer.
The project is expected to last three years, with a maximum of 30 weeks of closures over that time. | https://www.saobserver.net/news/highway-1-closed-east-of-golden-for-one-month-starting-today/ | 2022-04-19T18:34:44Z | https://www.saobserver.net/news/highway-1-closed-east-of-golden-for-one-month-starting-today/ | false | 11 |

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) — Three sailors who served on the USS George Washington aircraft carrier have been found dead in less than a week, the U.S. Navy said.
The nuclear-powered Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is currently undergoing refueling and a complex overhaul at Newport News Shipbuilding. Lt. Commander Rob Myers with the Navy confirmed the deaths Tuesday.
At this time, the Navy hasn’t released the cause of death or circumstances for any of the sailors but said the deaths are not believed to be connected and are under investigation separately. Naval Criminal Investigative Service and local authorities are investigating.
Two of the sailors were found on April 9 and 10 at off-base locations in Hampton, Myers said. Retail Services Specialist 3rd Class Mikail Sharp was found on April 9 and Interior Communications Electrician 3rd Class Natasha Huffman was found on April 10.
The third sailor, who hasn’t been identified, was found unresponsive Friday on the carrier.
“The Sailor was treated by the medical team on board before being transported to Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News where the service member passed away,” Naval Air Force Atlantic spokesman Michael Maus said in an email to the Navy Times. “The incident is under investigation and the command continues to cooperate with (the Naval Criminal Investigative Service).”
The name of the unidentified sailor will be released when the next of kin has been notified, Myers said. | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/national-news/3-navy-sailors-from-uss-george-washington-found-dead-in-less-than-a-week/ | 2022-04-19T18:37:46Z | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/national-news/3-navy-sailors-from-uss-george-washington-found-dead-in-less-than-a-week/ | true | 22 |
“Need to take extra precautions”: Rajasthan CM on rising Covid-19 cases
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday expressed concern over reports of rising COVID-19 cases in some parts of the country, including Delhi, saying extra precautions need to be taken, news agency PTI reported.
Gehlot said, "In some places, including Delhi, cases of Covid have increased in the past. The positivity rate in Delhi has exceeded five per cent. There is a need to take extra precautions due to the increasing cases of Covid."
In the last three days, Rajasthan has also seen an increase in the number of positive and active cases. On Tuesday, 23 positive cases were reported in the state and there are 113 active cases.
Delhi on Tuesday reported 632 fresh infections, up by 501 from Monday's rally. The positivity rate stood at 4.42 per cent. The covid surge comes day before the Delhi Disaster Management Authority is slated to hold meeting to assess the covid situation in the national capital. The meeting chaired by Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal will be attended by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, his deputy Manish Sisodia, health minister Satyendar Jain and top officials of the Delhi government.
The meeting is likely to discuss the mandatory use of face masks and hybrid modes of offline and online teaching for school children as well.However, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said there was no need to panic. The city had recorded a positivity rate of 30.6 per cent on January 14, the highest during the third wave of the pandemic.(With PTI inputs) | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/jaipur-news/need-to-take-extra-precautions-rajasthan-cm-on-rising-covid-19-cases-101650388063450-amp.html | 2022-04-19T18:40:27Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/jaipur-news/need-to-take-extra-precautions-rajasthan-cm-on-rising-covid-19-cases-101650388063450-amp.html | false | 1 |

NEWARK, Del. (AP) — President Joe Biden will deliver this year’s spring commencement address at his alma mater, the University of Delaware.
The May 28 commencement ceremony on the Newark campus is a ticketed event open only to graduating students and their guests but will be livestreamed, university officials said in a news release Tuesday.
UD President Dennis Assanis noted that Biden’s appearance will mark the school’s first commencement address by a sitting U.S. president.
Biden has spoken at four previous UD graduation ceremonies, in 1978, 1987, 2004 and 2014, when he was vice president.
Biden received a bachelor’s degree with a double major in history and political science in 1965.
The university is home to the Joseph R. Biden Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration and the Biden Institute, a research center focused on domestic public policy.
In 2011, Biden donated his senatorial papers to the University of Delaware Library. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Biden-to-give-commencement-speech-at-Delaware-17091121.php | 2022-04-19T18:45:48Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Biden-to-give-commencement-speech-at-Delaware-17091121.php | true | 12 |

Johnny Depp takes stand in suit against ex-wife Amber Heard
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Actor Johnny Depp took the stand Tuesday in his libel lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard, saying her domestic abuse allegations against him were disturbing, heinous and “not based in any species of truth.”
“Nothing of the kind ever happened,” Depp said in court.
He added: “Never did I myself reach the point of striking Ms. Heard in any way. Nor have I ever struck any woman in my life.”
Alluding to the fall his career has taken since Heard levied abuse allegations against him, the former “Pirates of the Caribbean” star said, “it’s been six years of trying times. It’s very strange when one day you’re Cinderella, so to speak, and then in 0.6 seconds you’re Quasimodo.”
Depp added that he’s concerned for his children and the people who have believed in him.
“I am obsessed with the truth,” Depp said. “So today is actually my first opportunity that I’ve been able to speak about this case.”
Depp also described a childhood in which physical abuse from his mother was “constant.” The abuse came in the form of ashtrays being flung or a high-heeled shoe or telephone being used to beat him, Depp said.
The trial began more than a week ago, but, prior to Tuesday, jurors had only seen the Hollywood star sitting silently with his team of lawyers as each side has tried to embarrass the other in a trial that Heard’s lawyers accurately predicted would turn into a mudslinging soap opera.
So far, Depp’s friends, family and employees have testified that Heard was the aggressor in the relationship, physically attacking him on multiple occasions. Heard’s former personal assistant testified that Heard spit in her face in a fit of rage.
Meanwhile, jurors have seen text messages in which Depp uses vulgar language to describe Heard and spells out his desire to get revenge against her. Heard’s lawyers have said he physically and sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions, often in situations where he drank so much he later blacked out.
The lawsuit itself is supposed to be over whether Heard libeled Depp when she wrote a 2018 op-ed piece in The Washington Post about domestic violence. In the article, Heard referred to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”
She never mentioned Depp by name, but Depp and his lawyers say it’s a clear reference to accusations Heard made in 2016 when the couple divorced and she sought a restraining order against him.
Heard’s lawyers, who have filed their own countersuit against Depp, say nothing in the article libels him. They say the abuse allegations are true, and that the damage to Depp’s reputation — which he says got him booted from the lucrative “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie franchise — came from his own bad behavior.
Depp’s testimony is expected to stretch into Wednesday. Heard is scheduled to testify later in the trial.

Central Bank of Russia allows using foreign currency revenues for covering expenses of fishing ships
Foreign currency revenues can be used for bunkering, repair of ships and ship stores
Central Bank of the Russian Federation gave official explanations on currency settlements by residents. According to the document, Russian companies are entitled to decrease the amount of foreign currency subject to mandatory sale by part of expenses and payments connected with execution of foreign trade contracts in foreign currency.
Thus, fishery companies can use foreign currency revenues for covering operational expenses – bunkering, repair of ships and ship stores needed for fishery, says All-Russia Association of Fishery Enterprises, Entrepreneurs and Exporters (VARPE).
“The Association took the initiative on March 1. It is one of the key points in the package of priority measures developed by VARPE to support the fishery industry,” says the statement.
The list of expenses and payments also includes payment for transportation, insurance, and forwarding of cargo, international telecommunication services including international roaming as well as customs clearance charges.
VARPE says that Viktoria Abramchenko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, who took part in the meeting of the Governmental Commission for the Development of the Fishery Complex held on April 13, supported the proposal on creation of conditions for Russian-flagged fishing ships to call domestic ports for docking, repair and crew change purposes without customs clearance charges for a period up to six months. This proposal is also included into VARPE's package of priority measures.
On February 28, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an order on obligatory sale of 80% of foreign currency put on accounts of residents starting January 1, 2022. | https://www.en.portnews.ru/news/328304/ | 2022-04-19T18:50:55Z | https://www.en.portnews.ru/news/328304/ | false | 1 |
Most often, the decree holder is left running pillar to post to enjoy the fruits of ‘success', defeating the very purpose of the rigorous litigation the parties engaged in to bring their disputes to closure
The execution of decrees is the last leg of the arduous journey that a litigant is put through to obtain the desired relief from the court. However, owing to various factors including the inadequacy of judicial infrastructure, high pendency of cases and the dilatory tactics adopted by the judgment debtors, obtaining a decree in favour of oneself has only proven to be half the battle.
More often than not, the decree holder is left running from pillar to post to enjoy the fruits of "success", defeating the very purpose of the rigorous litigation that the parties engaged in to bring their disputes to closure. In 2021, there were a reported total of 14,19,298 execution petitions pending at the lower courts. The alarming figure highlights the need for introducing immediate remedial measures to reduce the delay in disposal of execution petitions.
In a recent decision in Griesheim GmbH v. Goyal MG Gases Pvt Ltd., the Supreme Court referred to an old saying that "the difficulties of a litigant in India begin when he has obtained a decree". The evil of the unwarranted delays that a decree holder is put through was noticed far back in 1872 by the Privy Council in Raj Durbhunga v. Coomar Ramaput Sing. The Apex Court made similar observations in subsequent decision of Shub Karan Bubna v. Sita Saran Bubna, wherein it was recommended that the Law Commission and the Parliament of India must bestow their attention to make appropriate amendments to the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC).
However, even after more than 150 years having passed since the Privy Council decision, there isn't much of improvement as the decree holders continue to face the same problems.
In terms of execution of a decree, Section 47 of the CPC sets out a limited jurisdiction available to the executing courts i.e., for either the discharge or the satisfaction of a decree. In essence, Section 47 is intended to prevent multiplicity in the proceedings and dispose of all objections in an expeditious manner. An executing court while dealing with a decree is required to not traverse beyond the decree and look into matters of extraneous nature. Nonetheless, there has been a steady rise in proceedings which are fundamentally akin to conducting a retrial at the time of execution leading to the failure of realisation of the decree. The Apex Court in Rahul S. Shah Vs Jinendra Kumar Gandhi noted that in its experience, it was witnessed that various objections were filed before the executing court to prevent the decree holder from having any meaningful relief after what was already a long-fought litigation battle.
In the subordinate courts of India, it is invariably a standard practice on part of the executing court to issue a show-cause notice asking the judgment-debtor as to why the decree should not be executed as given under Order 21 Rule 22 of the CPC. This is wrongly viewed as an opportunity by the judgment debtors to have a backdoor entry into a fresh trial after having lost the legal battle once. Thus, the provision is misused widely by judgment debtors dragging the execution proceedings indefinitely.
The Supreme Court in Rahul S. Shah opined that such attempts of reviving the trial at the time of execution are the antithesis to the scheme of CPC which stipulates that all issues in a civil suit must be dealt with in the same trial. The Apex Court also observed that the court must play an active role in limiting the controversies by deciding upon all related issues to the subject-matter during adjudication of the suit itself and ensure that a clear, unambiguous, and executable decree is passed in a suit.
It appears that the problem of delays faced in execution of decrees does not totally lie in the manner in which the provisions of the CPC have been framed. In Ghan Shyam Das Gupta v. Anant Kumar Sinha, the Supreme Court had observed that the provisions of CPC were of superior judicial quality than what is typically available under other statutes to judges. Thus, with a pragmatic approach and careful judicial interpretation, a court can prevent the judgment-debtor or any other person from raising a frivolous claim which may potentially delay the execution of decree.
For instance, in money claim suits, a court is empowered under Section 151 of the CPC to direct the defendant to provide security prior to progressing in the suit. The consequences of non-compliance of any of these directions is provided under Order 17 Rule 3 of the CPC.
In the matter of Rahul S. Shah, the Supreme Court while taking note of the inordinate delays faced by the decree holders in execution of the decrees, issued some directions in exercise of powers vested under Article 141 read with Articles 142 and 144 of the Constitution of India. The Apex Court specifically provided that the directions passed by it are to be mandatorily followed by all civil courts of India. Amongst other things, the Apex Court passed directions which required the executing courts to take evidence in enforcement proceedings only in exceptional and rare cases.
Further in appropriate cases, where it is found that a claim is mala fide, the executing courts could resort to Order 21 Rule 98 of the CPC and also impose costs in accordance with Section 35A of the CPC on such frivolous claims or objections. The executing court may on satisfaction of the fact that it is not possible to execute the decree without police assistance, direct the concerned police station to provide requisite support towards execution of the decree. Most importantly, the Apex Court directed the executing courts to dispose of the execution proceedings within six months from the date of filing which may only be extended by reasons recorded in writing.
As observed by the Apex Court, a litigant who has gone through a long legal battle would certainly not be interested in receiving a mere paper decree. The directions passed by the Supreme Court in Rahul S. Shah would certainly narrow down the scope of unwarranted interference in the execution process. However, it is important to recollect the fact that the problems faced by litigants, and more specifically decree-holders are also aggravated on account of lack of the requisite judicial infrastructure and rising pendency of matters in the courts of India. There is a need to rethink the functioning of the judicial system in a holistic manner. An immediate step in this direction would be to encourage parties to adopt the right mindset and resort to alternative methods of dispute resolution and resolve the issues privately.
Recently, the Chief Justice of India opined that an active effort must be taken by courts to make negotiation and mediation a mandatory exercise as a part of case management. In matters which can be resolved through joint discussions and negotiations, the parties should aim to first exhaust the avenue of settling their disputes by mediation. This would prevent the judicial system from being burdened further while allowing the pending matters to be disposed of more efficiently.

Experts around the basketball world seem divided on whether the Los Angeles Lakers were right to fire head coach Frank Vogel, although there seems to be near-universal agreement that the way the team did so was wrong and unprofessional.
But now, L.A. needs a new head coach who will be an upgrade over the most recent version of Vogel.
Buy Lakers TicketsAlthough there are plenty of rumored candidates, the real question is whether any quality coach outside of the Lakers organization will actually want the job.
Via Los Angeles Times:
“Those with knowledge of coaching situations around the league say the Lakers’ reputation isn’t good — concerns about meddling, too many voices, suspect contracts and obvious roster problems creating an equation that has them working from behind.
“’Is the Lakers’ job that attractive?’ one coaching agent asked, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive subject. ‘I’m not so sure it is. But someone will take the job.’”
Three years ago, just before Vogel was hired, the Lakers’ first choice was Ty Lue, who had played for them and won a couple of championships with them in the early 2000s. But according to reports, the team only offered Lue a three-year contract when he wanted one that lasted five years.
The Lakers also wanted to have some serious say in who would be on Lue’s staff, a demand he refused.
As it did back then, the team’s front office looks like something of a joke around the league.
On the other hand, as was the case in the months after Vogel’s hiring, bringing on the right head coach and reshaping the roster in an appropriate manner could change that image within a relatively short amount of time. | https://lebronwire.usatoday.com/2022/04/19/lakers-coaching-job-doesnt-seem-attractive-to-rest-of-nba/ | 2022-04-19T18:55:54Z | https://lebronwire.usatoday.com/2022/04/19/lakers-coaching-job-doesnt-seem-attractive-to-rest-of-nba/ | false | 1 |
Heart problems are increasingly present in the lives of Brazilians. According to the Ministry of Health, about 300,000 people suffer from Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) per year and this number tends to increase by 250% by 2040.
It is possible to identify some signs that your heart is not doing well and start acting before the problem gets worse. That’s what explains Dr. Carlos Rassi, cardiologist at Sírio Libanês and professor at the University of Brasília (UNB). Keep an eye out for the following symptoms and use this weekend to start living a healthier routine.

typical signs
The doctor explains that the symptoms of a possible heart attack can be separated into typical and atypical. The former can be more easily identified, such as chest pain.
“If the patient is walking and there is chest pain that improves when he stops, even more so if it is accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating and tingling in the arm, it is recommended that she go to the hospital urgently”, he explained.
atypical signs
However, the warning signal is not always so strong. Rassi explains that in specific groups such as the elderly, women, diabetics and people with hypertension, the symptoms may be different, but they are no less dangerous.
“Atypical symptoms are manifested by any discomfort, tiredness or stomach pain. In these groups it could be a sign of heart disease.”
Prevention and rest are essential
To be able to act in the prevention of acute infarction, it is essential that the patient does not seek the cardiologist only when he feels these pains. With this, any heart problem can be identified in advance.
Rassi also highlights non-drug measures that can be taken to prevent a heart attack, such as regular physical exercise and controlling stress levels on a daily basis.
“It is important to change the lifestyle. Exercising, not smoking, being within your weight, trying to keep your stress at appropriate levels, setting aside a part of your day to relax, eating less salt, and cutting back on alcohol can all help to have a better heart.”

The board of trustees of Montana's largest school district has voted to allow students additional time to graduate after a public campaign by the family of a student with Down syndrome who otherwise would not have been allowed to attend her senior year with her classmates.
Under the policy passed Monday by a 5-3 vote, any student who does not turn 20 before Sept. 10 will be able to enroll in classes at Billings high schools. For students receiving special education services, enrollment will continue as long as the student hasn't turned 21 before the Sept. 10 deadline, The Billings Gazette reports.
The family of Emily Pennington had urged the school district to take advantage of a law passed by the Montana Legislature in 2021 that offered some state funding for students who are receiving special education services to continue attending school as long as they had not turned 21 before Sept. 10 and had not graduated. Schools are not required to participate.
Emily repeated kindergarten because she had been dealing with numerous medical issues. She will turn 19 in July, which would have made her ineligible to attend school this fall under the old policy.
When the school board declined to hear Emily's request for a change in the age-out policy, the family went public, posting on social media and contacting news outlets.
Billings West students also staged a brief walk-out in support of Emily earlier this month.
“It’s been hard, but it’s been an honor to be a voice for other people who just either don’t have the time or the fortitude or the wherewithal to fight like this,” said Jana Pennington, Emily's mother.

MODESTO, Calif. (AP) — Between vast almond orchards and dairy pastures in the heart of California’s farm country sits a property being redesigned to look like it did 150 years ago, before levees restricted the flow of rivers that weave across the landscape.
The 2,100 acres (1,100 hectares) at the confluence of the Tuolumne and San Joaquin rivers in the state’s Central Valley are being reverted to a floodplain. That means when heavy rains cause the rivers to go over their banks, water will run onto the land, allowing traditional ecosystems to flourish and lowering flood risk downstream.
The Dos Rios Ranch Preserve is California’s largest single floodplain restoration project, part of the nation’s broadest effort to rethink how rivers flow as climate change alters the environment. The land it covers used to be a farm, but the owners sold it to the nonprofit River Partners to use for restoring wildlife habitat.
The state wants to fund and prioritize similar projects that lower risks to homes and property while providing other benefits, like boosting habitats, improving water quality and potentially recharging depleted groundwater supplies. By notching or removing levees, swelling rivers can flow onto land that no longer needs to be kept dry.
“It’s giving new life ecologically but in a way that’s consistent with, complementary to, the human systems that have developed over the 150 years since the Gold Rush,” said Julie Rentner, president of Rivers Partners.
The Central Valley covers about 20,000 square miles (51,800 square kilometers) and is an agricultural powerhouse — more than 250 crops are grown there. The region constitutes about 1% of U.S. farmland but produces 25% of the nation’s food while accounting for one-fifth of all groundwater pumping in the U.S.
A flood in the 1860s demonstrates the potential for disaster; up to 6,000 square miles (15,500 square kilometers) of the valley were submerged. As the state’s population rapidly expanded and farming boomed through the 20th century, the government engineered vast systems to move water around to supply people and farms, and erected levees to protect cities and crops.
Some of those levees cut off rivers from their natural floodplains. As climate change causes temperatures to warm, mountain snow that typically trickles into the state’s watershed may fill rivers much faster, increasing the flows beyond what levees can take.
Floodplain restoration can help. For projects like Dos Rios, land that farmers no longer want to manage is being turned into space where rivers can breathe. Farther north, barriers on the Feather River have been altered to allow more water to flow into an existing wildlife area. In West Sacramento, 4 miles (6.4 kilometers) of levee along the Sacramento River is being set back.
California officials began centralizing valley flood planning a decade ago. Though some of the worst and most notable floods in recent decades have occurred in places like Houston and New Orleans, parts of California are at serious risk that’s only expected to increase due to climate change. In 1997, major storms caused levees to break throughout the valley, including on the Tuolumne River, causing nearly $2 billion in damage and destroying more than 20,000 homes. Nine people died.
An update to the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan is set for release this week. It will detail ways to lower flood risk and protect the roughly 1.3 million people who live on floodplains, along with key infrastructure, agricultural lands and ecosystems.
In the last update five years ago, the state put a premium on flood plain restoration projects. Dos Rios is one of 17 identified by the state. Four have been completed since 2013, three are under construction, and 10 are proposed. They’ve cost $300 million so far, with money coming from bond funds and local and federal dollars.
“Dos Rios is an amazing example, but we need like 30 more of those,” said Jane Dolan, chair of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board.
Floodplain restoration isn’t unique to California. Washington state launched a program in 2013 called Floodplains by Design, and projects are popping up along the Mississippi River. But experts say California stands out for its emphasis on projects that provide ecological support.
“There’s tremendous potential for this kind of work, and I’m quite impressed by how deliberate and thoughtful California is being in this space,” said Todd Bridges, head of the Army Corps’ Engineering with Nature program, which takes a similar approach.
The Biden administration set aside at least $1.75 billion in the infrastructure bill for multipurpose projects aimed at reducing flood risk.
Just as climate change is making California’s dry periods drier, it’s expected to make the wet periods wetter. The state experienced an atmospheric river in October and major rain and snowfall in December, followed by its driest January through March on record.
“One of the things that drives me crazy about California water is that decision makers want to talk about floods in flood years and droughts in drought years,” said Barry Nelson, a water consultant who worked on the Dos Rios project. “The weather whiplash we’re seeing this year is really teaching us we need to break out of that pattern.”
Since the 1850s, 95% of the historical wetlands and river habitats in the Central Valley have been eliminated, according to state flood planners. It would be impossible to restore all of that in a state of 40 million people, where major cities like the capital of Sacramento and Stockton have been built in floodplains.
But the valley’s vast open spaces offer opportunities, such as on farmland that’s no longer in use. The property Dos Rios sits on was most recently a dairy, and the owners approach River Partners about selling the land for conservation in the mid-2000s.
River Partners has notched berms to allow river water to flow onto 1,000 acres (400 hectares). The nonprofit is going through government hurdles to breach a federal levee keeping the Tuolumne River at bay. Eventually Dos Rios could hold up to 10,000 acre-feet of flood water, keeping it from flowing toward cities like Stockton. An acre-foot is about 325,850 gallons (about 1.23 million liters).
Fourteen kinds of woody trees and shrubs are planted in a way that’s designed to attract native species. River Partners said the habitat available at Dos Rios has allowed the Aleutian Cackling Goose to be delisted as an endangered species. The riparian brush rabbit, chinook salmon, steelhead trout, the yellow warbler, and the sandhill crane are among the species that call Dos Rios home.
Advocates for such projects would like to see them built faster in California and beyond. Rentner, of River Partners, said while there’s broad agreement on the value of restoring floodplains, concerns about the impact of land conversion on local tax bases and debates about how broadly to expand public access can slow things down.
But in the messy world of California water, floodplain restoration stands out, said Nelson, the water consultant.
“In this sort of ocean of disagreements about water policy, about all these other issues, flood management is this place where enormous change has happened in the last decade in a way that is incredibly broadly supported,” he said.

Two teenagers who were fatally shot at a packed party in Pittsburgh over the weekend were identified by the county medical examiner Tuesday as Mathew Steffy-Ross and Jaiden Brown.
The 17-year-old victims died at a hospital after the shooting early Sunday in the city's East Allegheny neighborhood, authorities said.
Investigators say multiple shooters were involved in the incident at a property rented through short-term rental company Airbnb.
"It's heartbreaking to see that level of violence, with that many people in that place," Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert told CNN Tuesday.
Eight other people were shot and five others were injured while running from the gunfire, Schubert said over the weekend.
Steffy-Ross was a senior at Grace Non-Traditional Christian Academy, the school said in a statement. Steffy-Ross "was kind, respectful, and considerate of others," according to school CEO Terrie Suica-Reed.
"He loved music and had a promising future," she added.
Brown was a student at the Woodland Hills School District, the district's interim superintendent, Daniel Castagna, told CNN.
"We are devastated by the loss of one of our students over the weekend and we extend our deepest sympathies to the family impacted by this senseless violence," the school district said in a Facebook post. Castagna said the school will offer counseling services.
The victims were identified by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office one day after Schubert appealed to the hundreds of people who attended the party to come forward with information about the shooting.
"Obviously, when you have that many people there, there's more that can come forward and they need to think about the fact that this could be friends and people they knew that were involved as victims, and we need to get these shooters off the street," Schubert told CNN.
As many as 200 people attended the party, most of whom were underage, the city said in a news release.
Some people who were at the scene have cooperated, the chief said. Authorities are still looking for multiple shooters based on the different caliber shell casings at the scene, he said.
"We're trying to piece everything together. We're asking for cooperation of the public and those who were there on what they saw, what they heard, any videos, any pictures to come forward and help us with the investigation," he said.
Detectives were diligently looking at video and doing "everything they can," Schubert told CNN.
Facebook Live video shows terror as shots were fired
The terrifying moments some teenagers experienced as they ran away from the gunfire were recorded on a Facebook Live video.
In the video, a male partygoer is heard screaming, "He got the gun! Get the f**k out," as he tries to warn his friends of what's happening. "He's about to shoot!" he also screams.
Panic ensues and several teenagers are seen crammed together and rushing toward an exit before shots are heard.
The video then shows frantic teens ducking and tripping over each other as they rush out a door.
More than 90 rounds fired
The shooting took place around 12:30 a.m. ET, and as police arrived at the scene, they saw several young people running from the area, officials have said.
Investigators are still working to determine what led up to the shooting, however, Schubert said some sort of altercation occurred when gunshots were exchanged.
Schubert called the scene chaotic, with more than 90 rounds from multiple guns fired both inside and outside of the home.
"You had people who were fleeing, just trying to get out of there," the chief said.
"As many as 50 rounds were fired inside, prompting some party-goers to jump out the windows, sustaining injuries such as broken bones and lacerations. Several more shots were fired outside the home," the news release said.
"Here we are at Easter, and we have multiple families, two that won't see a loved one," the chief said.
Schubert told CNN most of the people at the party were juveniles but there were some adults there.
Police called for noise complaint before shooting
Police visited the property just 90 minutes before the shooting in response to a noise complaint, Pittsburgh Police said in a news release Monday.
When an officer arrived at the address, a male answered the door, the release said. The officer asked for the homeowner and "was told he was upstairs," police said.
"That male came downstairs to the ground floor door to meet the officer," the statement said, "as the habitable and visible part of the house where the party was held is on the second floor, out of view of the door."
"He was asked to turn the music down and he complied with the request. The officer told him if police were called back to the address again they would have to shut the party down," the release said.
There were no further noise complaint calls to that address, police said.
Schubert told CNN Tuesday that during the noise complaint call "nothing stood out to give an appearance of something that was wrong, and the officers went back in service."
Renter of property now 'banned' from Airbnb
The person who booked the property where the party took place has been banned from the platform for life, Airbnb said in a statement to CNN. Company officials said they "condemn the behavior that is alleged to have prompted this criminal gun violence."
Airbnb reached out to the Pittsburgh Police Department and Mayor Ed Gainey's office, it said in the statement.
Airbnb notes parties are not allowed as part of its rental agreements and this was "an unauthorized party, thrown without the knowledge or consent of the host."
Users must be 18 or older to create an account with the platform, Airbnb noted, adding it is "considering all legal options" against the person who booked the rental.
"We share the Pittsburgh community's outrage regarding this tragic gun violence. Our hearts go out to all who were impacted -- including loved ones of those who lost their lives, injured victims and neighbors," Airbnb said in the statement.
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly described the status of the investigation. Police say multiple shooters were involved.

OBERLIN, Ohio (AP) — It hardly seems a stretch to say Kurt Russell was born to be a history teacher.
Raised on his mother’s stories about segregation and the civil rights movement in Alabama and influenced by teachers from his childhood, the 50-year-old Russell has spent the last 25 years teaching history and African American history at Oberlin High School outside Cleveland.
The Council of Chief State School Officers announced Tuesday that Russell is the organization’s National Teacher of the Year for 2022. The group previously named him Ohio’s teacher of the year.
“Kurt’s extensive career shows the power of educators to shape the lives of students from the classroom to extracurricular activities to the basketball court,” CCSSO Chief Executive Officer Carissa Moffat Miller said in a statement.
Russell will spend the next year representing educators and serving as an ambassador for students and teachers across the country, the organization said.
His classroom journey to teaching began with his white kindergarten teacher, Francine Toss, who read a picture book about the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as he and other students sat in a circle in her classroom.
“She had the audacity to introduce literature that was culturally relevant,” Russell said. “I thought, ‘Wow, that’s a guy who looks like me.'”
The die was further cast for his future career as an eighth-grader when he walked into a math class taught by Larry Thomas, the first Black male teacher he had encountered. Russell said he was impressed by Thomas’ demeanor and how he carried himself in the classroom.
“He was someone who looked like me in front of the classroom who all the kids enjoyed,” Russell said. “This seemed like a profession that I could enjoy. It just changed my life.”
His parents, Jerry and Retta Russell, who grew up attending segregated schools in Alabama, moved to Oberlin in the late 1960s, his father for construction work and his mother to escape the vestiges of the Jim Crow south.
His mother as a high school student in Linden, Alabama, marched with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who came to Linden at the invitation of the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, King’s close friend and collaborator in the civil rights movement. Students left school that day to join the march.
“That’s how I fell in love with history, by hearing those stories,” Russell said.
Russell obtained his “dream job” of teaching in Oberlin, the city where he grew up, after graduating from the College of Wooster in 1994. He helped develop an African American history course at Oberlin High School in his first year there.
In addition to teaching two other general history classes, Russell and a music teacher have developed a class called Black Music in the African Diaspora that covers the blues, jazz and R&B.
He credited the school administration for supporting the creation of the class. “They could have said, ‘No. We don’t need that right now,'” Russell said.
Oberlin High School Principal Brent Betts lauded Russell’s work.
Russell also is the boys basketball coach at Oberlin. His team finished the season with a 16-6 record and a conference championship. Betts said Russell sees the development of young men as more important than developing basketball players.
“One of the greatest things about Kurt Russell is the classroom culture he’s created,” Betts said. “He’s created a culture where everybody has a voice and students feel comfortable sharing their opinions.”
Russell has high expectations and demands academic rigor, Betts said.
“He does not allow them to settle for less,” Betts said. “They talk about tough subjects.”
Asked about critical race theory, an academic framework about systemic racism decried by conservative politicians and commentators, Russell called it a “dog whistle.”
“I always tell individuals I do not teach controversial courses,” Russell said. “I teach different courses. There’s nothing controversial about teaching about women’s rights or the gay rights movement.”
Russell led a discussion during his African American history class last week tracing seminal events leading to civil rights movement. He started with the Scottsboro Boys, nine Black teens who were falsely accused of raping two white women in the 1930s in Alabama, to Emmett Till, a 14-year-old black teen brutally murdered in Mississippi by two white men in 1955 after being accused of flirting with a white woman.
Students were then asked to form groups to list the four most important rights of Americans. Russell energetically guided the discussion, with all the students agreeing that access to the ballot box is a crucial right.
When Russell asked whether convicted murderers should have the right to vote, the students weren’t able to reach a consensus before the dismissal bell rang. When asked about the question afterward, Russell said murderers don’t have that right but he wanted to put the question before his students to consider it.
“That’s a tough one,” he said with a smile. | https://www.wrbl.com/news/national/strong-influences-help-mold-2022-us-teacher-of-the-year/ | 2022-04-19T19:03:33Z | https://www.wrbl.com/news/national/strong-influences-help-mold-2022-us-teacher-of-the-year/ | false | 46 |
The U.S. Space and Rocket Center is observing a moment of NASA history this week. The Huntsville area museum is home is to the Apollo 16 command module capsule nicknamed Casper. The gumdrop shaped spacecraft carried astronauts John Young, Charlie Duke, and Ken Mattingly to the moon fifty years ago this week. Duke will visit Huntsville this Wednesday to commemorate his walk on the lunar surface back in 1972. The retired astronaut is also famous for being the Mission Control radio spokesman in 1969 when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made the first lunar landing during Apollo 11. “We copy you on the ground Eagle, you got a bunch of guys about to turn blue.

VENICE, Fla. (AP) — Sheriff’s deputies captured video of a large alligator crawling through a front yard in Florida before making its way into a community lake.
The videowas taken Sunday morning in Venice, Florida, the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post.
Deputies estimated the gator to be about 10 feet long (3 meters).
The sheriff’s office notified the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. They also warned neighbors to be on alert because the alligator sauntered down to Harrington Lake to take an Easter morning swim.

The Straits Times' editorial (Look beyond gig work for greater security, March 2) highlighted findings by the Institute of Policy Studies that workers in the gig economy risk "becoming trapped in poverty and precarity", and "it is precisely this short-termism, captured in the term 'gig', that is disturbing".
While the statement is valid, I caution against painting the gig economy in such broad strokes, together with the perception of short-termism being linked with a lack of security.
We need to have a closer understanding of what security means to each individual. What kind of security gig workers value differs with their age.
Older platform workers may value the security of a satisfying relationship with family and friends over financial-related forms of security, after having worked hard to satisfy the material needs of their loved ones.
To better understand the priorities of older platform workers, one needs to consider how Singapore's rapidly changing economy has shaped their decision-making with respect to planning for their own future social security needs.
It is little wonder that the flexible nature of the gig economy, which gives workers control of their time, and with its low barrier to entry, is so attractive to older platform workers.
My father has low educational qualifications but has supported our family as a taxi and Grab driver for close to a decade. He could not save much after paying for his three children's education, as well as our family's basic living expenses.
Despite that, he feels contented with driving for as long as he can.
Driving has provided him with a sense of self-reliance, and importantly, mastery over his own time. That flexibility is important to him because it lets him engage in caring for our family, while providing adequate financial support.
By empowering older platform workers to feel confident in their own abilities, platform work provides them with psychological security, thereby strengthening their dignity.
As Associate Professor Terence Ho rightly pointed out (Ride-hailing and delivery jobs are here to stay - let's make them work, March 11), platform jobs can become quality jobs for locals, when worker protection and welfare are strengthened. This translates to greater emotional and psychological security that is evident in a dignified self.
I hope that we do not lose sight of this in future discussions of the forms of security valued by older platform workers as their priorities evolve across life stages. Ultimately, retiring with dignity is just as important in an inclusive and caring society.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday asked the Legislature to repeal a law allowing Walt Disney World to operate a private government over its properties in the state, the latest salvo in a feud between the Republican and the media giant.
DeSantis, an ascendant GOP governor and potential 2024 presidential candidate, has battled with Disney over the company's opposition to a new law barring instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade.
On Tuesday, DeSantis raised the stakes.
As lawmakers returned to the Capitol for a special legislative session on congressional redistricting, the governor announced he issued a proclamation that allows the Republican-controlled statehouse to take up bills eliminating Disney's self-governing district.
“I am announcing today that we are expanding the call of what they are going to be considering this week. And so, yes they will be considering the congressional map, but they also will be considering termination of all special districts that were enacted in Florida prior to 1968, and that includes the Reedy Creek Improvement District,” DeSantis said at a news conference, referencing the company's governing district without mentioning Disney by name.
The Reedy Creek Improvement District is a private government controlled by Disney World and set up by the state Legislature in 1967 that allows it to provide government services such as zoning, fire protection, utilities and infrastructure.
The move comes after Disney announced it would suspend political donations in the state over the new Parental Rights in Education law, which opponents dubbed “Don't Say Gay,” over criticism that barring lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades would marginalize LGTBQ people. Disney is one of Florida's biggest private employers.
Disney representatives did not immediately return an emailed request for comment. | https://www.cp24.com/entertainment-news/florida-gov-desantis-pushes-to-end-disney-self-government-amid-feud-1.5867350 | 2022-04-19T19:08:54Z | https://www.cp24.com/entertainment-news/florida-gov-desantis-pushes-to-end-disney-self-government-amid-feud-1.5867350 | true | 13 |

U.S. Gold Corp. Announces the Extension of Gold and Copper Mineralization an Additional 700 Feet Below its Proposed CK Gold Project Open Pit
Company identifies potential gold and copper resource expansion below its proposed open pit
Remains on track to complete the next development steps for CK Gold Project and submit Permit to Mine application to Wyoming DEQ mid-year 2022
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Gold Corp. ("U.S. Gold," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") (NASDAQ: USAU) is pleased to report that it has extended mineralization 700 feet below the proposed open pit, following receipt of assay results from three additional drill holes completed during the 2021 field season. The Company continues to be encouraged by the positive results from its confirmatory and expansion drilling.
In commenting on these latest results, Kevin Francis, V.P. Exploration and Technical Services of U.S. Gold, said, "The primary purpose of the 2021 drill program was to support feasibility study level hydrology and geotechnical studies. Nonetheless, CK21-12rc/c, a combination reverse circulation and core hole, CK21-14c and CK21-03c were also exploratory. These holes have discovered future mineral resource expansion potential at depth below the proposed open pit and to the southeast of the proposed pit. While we know that there are additional mineralization requiring further exploration expenditures, our priority is to realize the value of the commercially attractive gold-copper project identified in our prefeasibility study, published December 1, 2021. We remain on track to complete the permit to mine application, which will be led by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality."
2021 Drilling Program Results
The Company reported additional results from 3 core holes completed during the 2021 drilling program which was primarily focused on advancing geotechnical and hydrologic understanding. Gold and copper assays from the 2021 program have extended mineralization beyond the prefeasibility mineral resource estimate. As such, the Company believes that an increase of mineral resources is possible.
g/t = grams per metric tonne, oz/st = troy ounces per short ton, 1 g/t = .0291652 oz/st
AuEQ calculated using metal pricing: $1625/oz Au, $3.25/lb Cu and $18/oz Ag -
The plan map below shows the distribution of the newly reported holes relative to the proposed prefeasibility ultimate pit outline.
The following figures are cross sections through each hole plotted with the block grade estimates from the prefeasibility study estimation model. The drill holes' gold and copper grades correlate well to the block model. The effect of capping assay grades prior to estimation has limited the imact of higher grades.
The table below reports significant intervals exceeding an 0.30 g/t AuEq cutoff. Mineralization continues to expand to the southeast of and at depth below the proposed pit.
The Company looks forward to designing an upcoming drill program, taking into account the results above, to potentially further increase the mineral resource at the CK Gold Project. Timing will be dependent upon the priorities of completing the next development steps and submitting the mine to permit application and available treasury.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") Procedure
U.S. Gold Corp. employs a rigorous QA/QC protocol on all aspects of sampling and analytical procedure. Drill core is checked, logged, marked for sampling and sawn in half. One-half of each drill core is maintained for future reference and the other half of each drill core is sent to ALS, an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory in Reno, Nevada to complete all sample preparation and assaying. Samples are analyzed employing fire assaying with atomic absorption finish for gold, and four-acid ICP-MS analysis for silver and copper. For QA/QC purposes, certified standards, blank samples and sample duplicates are inserted into the sample stream. U.S. Gold Corp. also periodically submits sample pulps to another independent laboratory for check analysis.

Brendan Rodgers is set to heavily rotate his Leicester City side again at Everton as he tries to keep his team fresh amid their busy schedule.
Rodgers has been fielding a midweek team and a weekend team over the past fortnight, with the regular starters deployed in the Europa Conference League games against PSV Eindhoven. Many of those players are expected to come back into the 11 at Goodison Park.
But the manager may also consider a rest for either Youri Tielemans or Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who have been the two outfield constants in the side since City returned from the last international break, starting every game in both competitions. Papy Mendy has previously been ineligible for the European midweek games, but as he can feature against the Toffees, Rodgers may take the opportunity to reshuffle his midfield.

With Mendy at the base, James Maddison could play inside, allowing either Tielemans or Dewsbury-Hall to be given a break. Both looked tired in the defeat to Newcastle at the weekend, with Tielemans passed easily by Joe Willock in the final act of the game, with Dewsbury-Hall unable to keep up with goalscorer Bruno Guimaraes.
Elsewhere, the back four is likely to be swapped around again, with Ricardo Pereira, Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans, and Timothy Castagne all in contention to come back into the team. That would see James Justin, Daniel Amartey, Caglar Soyuncu, and Luke Thomas drop out.
The front three may also be swapped around again, with Marc Albrighton, Harvey Barnes, and Kelechi Iheanacho set to come back in. Ayoze Perez and Ademola Lookman could push for a starting spot though, with the wide positions the most contentious in the squad at the moment.
Predicted City line-up (4-1-4-1): Schmeichel; Ricardo, Fofana, Evans, Castagne; Mendy; Albrighton, Maddison, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes; Iheanacho.

Wildlife rehabilitators in Killingworth are asking for donations from people who fish to share their catch and help feed an osprey and other birds in their care.
“This Osprey is eating on his own and he is HUNGRY!,” A Place Called Hope, a rehabilitation and education center for birds of prey, posted on Facebook.
They said they need whole fish and have a cooler set up in the driveway for food donations.
They are asking for whole fish only and said menhaden, porgies and trout are preferred.
“Please share your bounty for our birds. We are appreciative of this support,” a Place Called Hope posted.

Some cherry farmers in British Columbia are using helicopters to push warm air over their trees as unseasonably cool temperatures threaten this year’s cherry crop even before the fruit has formed.
Sukhpaul Bal, president of the B.C. Cherry Growers Association, said helicopters create an airflow rather than letting cool air sit over orchards, potentially damage buds waiting to blossom.
“We’re getting into spring. Buds are starting to open up and blossoms are not too far down the road,” he said. “So, around this time of year, we don’t like to see too much cold weather.”
Environment Canada meteorologist Dave Wray attributed the below-seasonal temperatures to a cold air mass that has settled over the province.
Temperatures have been about seven degrees below normal over the past week, he said.
“There were quite a number of temperature records broken across the province.”
Bal said he is grateful that the cherry orchards haven’t had snow like in some parts of the United States.
Cherry farmers and other fruit growers have endured much recently, as swinging weather patterns in the province led to fires, floods and last year’s so-called heat dome where the temperatures neared 50 C in some parts of B.C., he said.
“The extreme shifts in the climate are challenging to farms.”
Added to the burden for the farming community is the labour shortage, Bal said.
The Canadian Federation of Agriculture has said the industry had a chronic labour shortage even before the arrival of COVID-19.
Mary Robinson, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said earlier this year that the physical nature of work in farms and the rural and isolated locations are some of the reasons for the labour shortage.
COVID-19 caused agriculture producers to lose about $2.9 billion in 2020 because of the inability to find workers, said Robinson.
Bal said he’s hoping the weather returns to more seasonable temperatures before the buds bloom.
Some of the fruit begins to ripen in the first or second week of June, with several other varieties ready for harvest in August, he said.
It’s a bit early to tell if the cold has damaged the crop, he added.
“Overall, we’re still optimistic considering what could have happened. We’re still looking for a strong crop this year.”
Wray said temperatures should climb toward more seasonal temperatures by the weekend.
“April’s an interesting month,” he said. “Historically, it can be quite chilly. Other years, it’ll be nice and warm, like last year. So, this happens to be one of those cooler years.”

Abstract
A crucial step in measuring the resilience of railway infrastructure is to quantify the extent of its vulnerability to natural hazards. In this paper, we analyze the vulnerability of the German railway network to four types of natural hazards that regularly cause disruptions in German rail operations: floods, mass movements, slope fires, and tree falls. Using daily train traffic data matched with various data on disruptive events, we quantify the extent to which these four types of natural hazard reduce daily train traffic volumes. With a negative binomial count data regression, we find evidence that the track segments of the German railway network are most vulnerable to floods, followed by mass movements and tree-fall events. On average, floods reduce traffic on track segments by 19% of the average daily train traffic, mass movements by 16%, and tree fall by 4%. Moreover, when more than one type of natural hazard affects the track segment on the same day, train traffic on that segment falls by 34% of the average train traffic. Slope fires have an ambiguous and nonrobust effect on train traffic due to the reverse causality due to its triggering factors. This is the first study that attempts to rank different natural hazards according to their impact on railway traffic. The results have implications for the selection of resilience strategy and can help prioritize policy measures.

Former Essendon captain and best and fairest Brendon Goddard has called Essendon’s team defence and pressure “terrible,” explaining how the Bombers’ undermanned backline is consequently under siege.
“It’s terrible,” Goddard said of Essendon’s team defence, which has seen the Dons concede more points than any other team over five rounds. “Their pressure in and around the ball is terrible as well.”
Goddard said the Bombers were guilty of “laziness in team defence” and that a lack of pressure in the midfield had left their undersized and undermanned defence - Essendon does not have a recognised key position defender in their current 22 - exposed.
The former Essendon and St Kilda star - Goddard captained the Dons in the difficult 2016 season when many senior players were suspended for the year (by the Court of Arbitration for Sport) - said his former teammate Darcy Parish, a talented ball-winner, and fellow midfielder Dylan Shiel were among those not working hard defensively.
Goddard said a lack of defensive running had been an issue for Parish, despite his ball-winning talents, for some years. “It’s his mindset without the ball that’s always been an issue.
“He (Parish) wins so much of the footy. (But) He, Dylan Shiel, they’re all not working hard enough defensively.”
Goddard said opposition teams had been allowed to “pick through” Essendon’s defensive zone even when moving the ball slowly. He said teams often turned a “slow play” into a turnover by forcing their opponents to kick to a contest, but the Bombers, due to their poor defensive intent, could not.
“Their defence all over the field is terrible.” The 2013 Essendon best and fairest said the Bombers would focus on “back to basics in the next few weeks, if they haven’t already”.
The ex-Saint and Bomber, who played 129 games for the Dons from 2013 until 2018 after crossing to the club as a free agent, said the inexperienced and smaller Bomber backline, which had Jayden Laverde holding down a key position, relied on pressure up the field to stop scoring. “Their backs are under siege ... they’re relying on pressure up the field. If they don’t get it, they’re exposed.”
“It all comes down to defensive intent and defensive mindset,” said Goddard of Essendon’s struggles over the opening five rounds. He suggested that the Bombers were being picked through by the opposition due to “a lack of concentration.”
Goddard said that Essendon, who face Collingwood on Anzac Day Monday, had displayed a hard tackling and pressure brand in the opening eight rounds of last year, but this had fallen away late in the 2021 season and their current woes had continued the trend of late last season (Essendon finished eighth, losing the elimination final to the Bulldogs). “This type of football is just an extension of what they were playing at the back end of last year.”
“It’s laziness in team defence when they get the slow play. It’s mental laziness.”
Goddard said, under Ross Lyon’s coaching at St Kilda, the players had been taught to pro-active in team defence. “We used to talk about ‘stay active’ in team defence. We used to talk about continually moving.”
Essendon have been fielding one of the least experienced teams in the AFL in the past few weeks, having beaten only Adelaide by under a goal. They have been without their premier midfielder Zach Merrett and most potent match-winner Jake Stringer and club insiders believe that the absence of midfielder Kyle Langford and Will Snelling has thrown out the balance of their midfield, which also lacks size.
The Dons downplayed expectations before this season, in the knowledge that they had performed well above widespread expectations in 2021 when they were in rebuilding mode following the exits of senior players Joe Daniher, Adam Saad and Orazio Fantasia.
After taking over from John Worsfold late in 2020, senior coach Ben Rutten had said he wanted the Bombers to be a hard-working “blue collar” team.

Megyn Kelly Reveals She Was Offered CNN Contract, Warns Chris Wallace About His Potential Fate at Network
Former Fox News anchor and Sirius XM host Megyn Kelly has a warning for Chris Wallace now that he’s left for CNN: Don’t think you’re going to have an easy time of it.
On her Friday show, Kelly related to radio host Buck Sexton that she considered jumping to CNN when she left Fox News, but she ended up pursuing a different path with a daytime show on NBC.
While that failed, Kelly said a defection to CNN would have been even more of a bloodbath, considering the network’s viewership.
(Here at The Western Journal, we monitor CNN and its hard-left bias — which it passes off as straight news. We’ll continue holding them and the rest of the legacy media accountable. You can help us in our mission by subscribing.)
“I considered going to CNN,” Kelly revealed during a discussion about the network’s woes.
“CNN made me a huge offer, huge, [by] Jeff Zucker. And I said no, Buck, because I knew — who’s my fanbase going to be over there?
“I knew who my fans were, and I knew that my Fox viewers were not going to follow me to CNN and that the CNN viewers were going to hate my guts,” she continued.
“So I decided to sort of get out of the politics game and go do morning TV and try to do something that was more Oprahesque.”
“But I understood switching political ships was not going to lead to success either,” she added. “And I can see [Wallace] suffering from that very problem right now.”
Both Kelly and Wallace faced similar situations when they departed Fox News. During the 2016 election cycle, Kelly had been a noted critic of Donald Trump, a situation which came to a head during a famous debate exchange:

Wallace, meanwhile, had made it clear privately to Fox News network executives that he was unhappy with the network’s commentary hosts — particularly Tucker Carlson and his “Patriot Purge” documentary about the Jan. 6 Capitol incursion. After he left the network for CNN’s new streaming service, CNN+, he confirmed in an interview that he found the situation “unsustainable.”
“I’m fine with opinion: conservative opinion, liberal opinion,” Wallace told the New York Times in March.
“But when people start to question the truth — Who won the 2020 election? Was Jan. 6 an insurrection? — I found that unsustainable. I spent a lot of 2021 looking to see if there was a different place for me to do my job.”
In the interview with Kelly, Sexton noted this wasn’t the smartest or most “ethical” escape plan for Wallace.
“In what world is Chris Wallace going to CNN because it’s so ethical and journalistic? I think he’s delusional,” Sexton said.
Kelly noted it hardly mattered anyway since the streaming network has almost no pickup.
“Who is the moron at CNN who actually thought ‘you know what we need with our ratings in the toilet? More of us,'” Kelly said.
“We need more CNN. There’s more appetite for these anchors who no one will watch when it’s free — well ish — in primetime, and they’re gonna pay extra out of their pocket to watch them cook or talk about books or interview people who are about 200 years old.”
And Wallace was never popular ratings-wise at Fox News, either, as Kelly pointed out — he was “in last place, every week, every year, every month, he was always last.”
However, Wallace was seen as an independent voice from a famous journalistic family — his father was legendary CBS News journalist Mike Wallace — which gave him cache. At CNN, that’s a different story; Wallace acknowledged in the Times interview that many of the viewers on CNN wouldn’t be impressed that he turned his back on Fox, instead holding it against him that he was employed there for so long.
“Some people might have drawn the line earlier, or at a different point,” he said. “I think Fox has changed over the course of the last year and a half. But I can certainly understand where somebody would say, ‘Gee, you were a slow learner, Chris.’”
That could also be said about his switch to CNN+.
Last week, journalist Jon Nicosia, former managing editor of Mediaite reported that sources were saying Wallace was “having daily breakdowns” over the “miserable launch” of the streaming service.
The source told Nicosia that Wallace wants a “CNN show or is threatening to walk.”
“He is having staffers count how many times a day his promo is playing,” Nicosia’s source said, adding, “He’s telling anyone that will listen he wants [Chris] Cuomo’s old time slot.”
Nicosia also noted the CNN+ streaming service was doing so poorly it was struggling to draw over 10,000 viewers a day at times.
SOURCE: Chris Wallace is “having daily breakdowns” over the “miserable launch” of @CNNplus. Wants a “CNN show or is threatening to walk” they go on. “He is having staffers count how many times a day his promo is playing”
— Jon Nicosia (@NewsPolitics) April 12, 2022
SOURCE CONT’D: “He’s telling anyone that will listen he wants Cuomo’s old time slot”
— Jon Nicosia (@NewsPolitics) April 13, 2022
If Wallace gets it, it might be a pyrrhic victory, anyhow. In February, Forbes reported CNN’s prime time audience had dropped a staggering 69 percent over the same period in 2021. That “improved” to a mere 56 percent drop in March, putting it solidly in third place behind Fox and MSNBC.
Chris Wallace won’t arrest the decline, either. The network’s base will likely never accept him, no matter what his establishment bona fides are. Fox News doesn’t want him back. And while there are surely smaller roles to be filled at other legacy media outlets, Wallace will likely never regain the platform he had on “Fox News Sunday.”
When Megyn Kelly set out from Fox News, she didn’t succeed at first — but she also didn’t fall into the trap of going to CNN, thinking its hard-left audience would accept her as an independent voice once she left Fox.
It’s a lesson Chris Wallace is learning the hard way.

Kyrie Irving fined $50K for obscene gesture to Celtics fans
BOSTON (AP) — Nets guard Kyrie Irving has been fined $50,000 for making obscene gestures and directing profane language toward the crowd during Brooklyn’s Game 1 playoff loss to the Celtics,
League operations president Byron Spruell announced the fines on Tuesday.
Cameras captured Irving flipping his middle finger toward fans as he ran down the court after making a shot in the third quarter. Irving said after the game that his actions were in response to jeers from fans he said crossed the line.
“Where I’m from, I’m used to all these antics and people being close nearby,” Irving said after the game. “It’s nothing new when I come into this building what it’s going to be like. But it’s the same energy they have for me, I’m going to have the same energy for them.
“And it’s not every fan, I don’t want to attack every Boston fan. When people start yelling (expletives) and all this stuff, there’s only but so much you take as a competitor. We’re the ones expected to be docile and be humble, take a humble approach…it’s the playoffs. This is what it is.”
Irving spent two seasons in Boston before departing during free agency in 2019 to join the Nets.
In Game 1 on Sunday, he was booed loudly every time he touched the ball but led Brooklyn with 39 points in the Nets’ last-second 115-114 loss. Fans have given him similar receptions in recent visits to Boston.
But it reached its most volatile point last season during the playoff matchup between the Nets and Celtics when a fan was arrested after allegedly tossing a bottle at Irving that nearly hit him.
With that history in mind, leading up to the start of the series Irving said he expected a level of jeering from Celtics’ fans. Be he also noted after last season’s incident that he had experienced what he characterized as “racism” from the TD Garden crowd.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a proclamation calling for the special session to be expanded.
The expansion would be for the Florida Legislature to consider terminating all special districts enacted in Florida prior to 1968, including Disney's Reedy Creek Improvement District.
The original purpose of the special session, which started at noon on Tuesday, is to redraw the state's congressional maps after DeSantis vetoed the maps passed by the Legislature during its regular session.
The last-minute addition comes after weeks of tension between DeSantis and the Walt Disney Co. over the passage of the controversial Parental Rights in Education law, known by critics as the "Don't Say Gay" statute.
In response to the law, Disney suspended its political donations in the state after LGBTQ advocates who work for the company criticized CEO Bob Chapek for what they said was his slow response speaking out against it.
The Reedy Creek Improvement District gives Disney the right to govern itself like a city.
Before Disney World opened its gates, Walt Disney proposed to state lawmakers the theme park should have governing authority over the land. Months after his death, the state granted the company the establishment of the Reedy Creek Improvement District in 1967.
If it's repealed, Disney's central Florida land would fall under Orange and Osceola counties, since it stretches into both.
State Rep. Randy Fine, R-Brevard County, seemed to support the proposal Tuesday on Twitter.
BREAKING: Disney is a guest in Florida. Today, we remind them. @GovDeSantis just expanded the Special Session so I could file HB3C which eliminates Reedy Creek Improvement District, a 50 yr-old special statute that makes Disney to exempt from laws faced by regular Floridians.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood’s response to climate change includes donations, protests and other activism. but it’s apparently missing out on an approach close to home.
Only a sliver of screen fiction, 2.8%, refers to climate change-related words, according to a new study of 37,453 film and TV scripts from 2016-20. A blueprint for ways to turn that around was released Tuesday.
“Good Energy: A Playbook for Screenwriting in the Age of Climate Change” was created with feedback from more than 100 film and TV writers, said Anna Jane Joyner, editor-in-chief of the playbook and founder of Good Energy, a nonprofit consultancy.
“A big hurdle that we encountered was that writers were associating climate stories with apocalypse stories,” she said in an interview. “The main purpose of the playbook is to expand that menu of possibilities….to a larger array of how it would be showing up in our real life.”
Among those who provided funding for the playbook project are Bloomberg Philanthropies, Sierra Club and the Walton Family Foundation.
Waves of celebrities have been sounding the climate alarm, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jane Fonda, Don Cheadle and Shailene Woodley. DiCaprio also starred in “Don’t Look Up,” the 2021 Oscar-nominated film in which a comet hurtling toward an indifferent Earth is a metaphor for the peril of climate-change apathy.
But the playbook is asking writers and industry executives to consider a variety of less-dire approaches, Joyner said, with examples and resources included.
“We describe it as a spectrum, everything from showing the impact with solutions in the background,” such as including solar panels in an exterior shot of a building, she said. Casual mentions of climate change in scenes also can be effective.
“If you’re already attached to a character in a story and it authentically comes up in conversation for the character, it validates for the audience that it’s OK to talk about in your day-to-day lives,” Joyner said.
Dorothy Fortenberry, a TV writer (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) and playwright, said the industry needs to broaden its view of who it writes about, not just what.
“Climate change is something that right now is affecting people who aren’t necessarily the people that Hollywood tends to write stories about. It’s affecting farmers in Bangladesh, farmers in Peru, farmers in Kentucky,” Fortenberry said. “If we told stories about different kinds of people, there would be opportunities to seamlessly weave climate in.”
The entertainment industry’s failure to use its storytelling powers more effectively on the issue seems unsurprising to Joyner, who’s been working on climate-change communications in various sectors and communities for 15 years.
For the first decade, it felt like “screaming into the void” because of the lack of response, Joyner said. But there is evidence of increasing concern among Americans regarding climate change, she said, including those who are in Hollywood.
“We’ve all gone through a kind of awakening,” she said. There are a number of documentaries and news programs about climate change, she said, expressing optimism that fiction creators will make steady progress.
Good Energy funded the script analysis by the Norman Lear Center’s Media Impact Project at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
As part of the study that’s yet to be released in full, researchers checked for references to 36 key words and phrases including “climate change,” “fracking” and “global warming” in TV episodes and movies released in the U.S. market. | https://www.mystateline.com/entertainment-news/hollywood-missing-the-drama-in-climate-change-group-says/ | 2022-04-19T19:33:20Z | https://www.mystateline.com/entertainment-news/hollywood-missing-the-drama-in-climate-change-group-says/ | false | 47 |
Johnny Depp on stand: Ex-wife Heard's allegations 'heinous'
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Amber HeardAmerican actress
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Actor Johnny Depp took the stand Tuesday in his libel lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard, saying her domestic abuse allegations against him were disturbing, heinous and “not based in any species of truth.”
“Nothing of the kind ever happened,” Depp said in court.
He added: “Never did I myself reach the point of striking Ms. Heard in any way. Nor have I ever struck any woman in my life.”
Alluding to the fall his career has taken since Heard levied abuse allegations against him, the former “Pirates of the Caribbean” star said, “it’s been six years of trying times. It’s very strange when one day you’re Cinderella, so to speak, and then in 0.6 seconds you’re Quasimodo.”
Depp added that he’s concerned for his children and the people who have believed in him.
“I am obsessed with the truth,” Depp said. “So today is actually my first opportunity that I’ve been able to speak about this case.”
The trial began more than a week ago, but, prior to Tuesday, jurors had only seen the Hollywood star sitting silently with his team of lawyers as each side has tried to embarrass the other in a trial that Heard's lawyers accurately predicted would turn into a mudslinging soap opera.
After denying Heard's abuse allegations, Depp spoke at length about a childhood in which physical abuse from his mother was “constant.” The abuse came in the form of ashtrays being flung or a high-heeled shoe or telephone being used to beat him, Depp said. When he became a father, Depp said, he made sure his children didn’t experience that kind of upbringing.
In terms of Heard, Depp said she seemed “too good to be true” at the beginning of their relationship.
“She was attentive,” Depp said of the woman he married in 2015. “She was loving. She was smart. She was kind. She was funny. She was understanding … We had many things in common, certain blues music … literature.”
But Depp said that within a year and a half, it was as if Heard had become another person.
So far, Depp's friends, family and employees have testified that Heard was the aggressor in the relationship, physically attacking him on multiple occasions. Heard's former personal assistant testified that Heard spit in her face in a fit of rage.
Meanwhile, jurors have seen text messages in which Depp uses vulgar language to describe Heard and spells out his desire to get revenge against her. Heard's lawyers have said he physically and sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions, often in situations where he drank so much he later blacked out.
The lawsuit itself is supposed to be over whether Heard libeled Depp when she wrote a 2018 op-ed piece in The Washington Post about domestic violence. In the article, Heard referred to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”
She never mentioned Depp by name, but Depp and his lawyers say it's a clear reference to accusations Heard made in 2016 when the couple divorced and she sought a restraining order against him.
Heard's lawyers, who have filed their own countersuit against Depp, say nothing in the article libels him. They say the abuse allegations are true, and that the damage to Depp's reputation — which he says got him booted from the lucrative “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie franchise — came from his own bad behavior.
Depp's testimony is expected to stretch into Wednesday. Heard is scheduled to testify later in the trial. | https://news.yahoo.com/johnny-depp-takes-stand-suit-180427855.html | 2022-04-19T19:36:38Z | https://news.yahoo.com/johnny-depp-takes-stand-suit-180427855.html | true | 14 |
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A proposal to let New Orleans adopt a set of gun control measures than are stronger than the state currently allows was overwhelmingly rejected Tuesday by a House panel.
The Criminal Justice Committee voted 9-1 against the measure by New Orleans Democratic state Rep. Mandie Landry, despite calls for passage from a city council member, a deputy chief of the police department and District Attorney Jason Williams.
Among the specified laws the city would have been allowed to pass were the bill to become law: a requirement that loss or theft of firearms be reported to police, prohibition against openly carrying firearms at public events requiring government permits, and prohibition on carrying firearms where alcohol is being served.
Backers of the bill said it would help fight increasing violent crime by helping prevent gun trafficking or the use of guns at large events where alcohol is consumed — in a city known for its large public festivals, sporting events and Bourbon Street nightlife.
“At the end of the day, we’re asking this committee and the Legislature to allow New Orleans to carve out legislation that affects the unique problems that we have,” said City Council member Eugene Green.
Gun control advocates said the laws the city sought to pass would be ineffective. They slammed the bill as an attack on Second Amendment rights. Rep. Bryan Fontenot, a Republican from Thibodaux, said it could prohibit law-abiding gun owners from protecting themselves in the city. | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Panel-rejects-New-Orleans-gun-law-proposal-17091142.php | 2022-04-19T19:38:47Z | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Panel-rejects-New-Orleans-gun-law-proposal-17091142.php | true | 11 |
The NCAA announced Tuesday that several violations occurred in the Ohio State women’s golf, women’s basketball and fencing programs over the past few years.
All three programs have been placed on four-year probation by the NCAA while the Ohio State athletic department was fined $5,000 in addition to 3 percent of the fencing budget and 1 percent of the women’s golf and basketball budgets. The NCAA’s findings stem from the Klein investigation, which dug into recruiting, Title IX and practice violations from the women’s basketball, fencing and women’s golf teams and resulted in a self-imposed, postseason ban for all three programs during the 2020-21 season.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said he was “proud of our university, athletics department, and the involved sports programs for our management of this matter” in a statement Tuesday.
“We are committed to our proactive and pre-existing system of compliance methods and rules education,” Smith said. “A comprehensive compliance program ensures adherence and institutional control over the athletics department and furthers the mission of the university. We are pleased that this matter is now behind us, and our focus remains on our student athletes.”
The fencing and women’s basketball teams saw self-imposed scholarship reductions in 2020-21, but the fencing team will see a 10 percent reduction in 2022-23, as prescribed by the NCAA. Fencing also received numerous recruiting penalties, including 10-week bans on unofficial visits and recruiting communications, as well as a one-week ban on off-campus recruiting for the fencing coaching staff.
All three programs will be required to vacate wins, championships and individual records from student-athletes that benefitted from recruiting violations. The women’s basketball team will be required to vacate 52 wins, including its 2017 and 2018 Big Ten championships, as well as its Big Ten Tournament championship in 2018.
The fencing team will also vacate several titles, including a trio of Midwest Fencing Conference championships from 2016-18 and top-three finishes in the NCAA Tournament from those three years.
In addition to program penalties, former fencing head coach Vladimir Nazlymov and former women’s basketball associate coach Patrick Klein received 10-year show-cause orders — which aim to restrict them from athletics-related activities unless their university shows cause as to why the violations should no longer apply.
While several programs were impacted by the penalties levied by the NCAA, the governing body said the compliance program in place at Ohio State “outweighs the deficiencies identified by the panel.”
Ohio State’s athletic department will remain on probation until April 18, 2026. | https://www.thelantern.com/2022/04/ohio-state-athletic-department-placed-on-4-year-probation-by-ncaa-violations/ | 2022-04-19T19:39:27Z | https://www.thelantern.com/2022/04/ohio-state-athletic-department-placed-on-4-year-probation-by-ncaa-violations/ | true | 1 |
'We need more nurses now': B.C. to fast track approval for internationally trained nurses
The province hopes eliminating cost and red tape will attract 1,500 new nurses and help ease B.C.'s critical nursing shortage
Article content
B.C. will spend $12 million to fast-track internationally trained nurses through the cumbersome accreditation process in an effort to fix B.C.’s critical nursing shortage.

Article content
Speaking at a press conference Tuesday morning, Health Minister Adrian Dix said the accreditation process for internationally educated nurses “is complex, it’s costly, and it’s lengthy.” That, Dix said, “is no longer acceptable” given B.C.’s nursing shortage.
“We need more nurses. We need more nurses now. We need more nurses in five years,” Dix said. “Internationally educated nurses play a vital role in addressing the current demand we’re seeing in our health care system.”
International nurses who want to work in B.C. will soon face a streamlined process to assess their nursing credentials from international schools, Dix said. The goal is to shave months off a process that typically takes 18 months to two years, he said.

Nurses trained abroad will also be eligible for $9 million in bursaries to ease the heavy financial burden and have help navigating the often confusing regulatory and licensing process.
Right now, the assessment and registration process can cost nurses thousands or tens of thousands of dollars if they must upgrade their education, another significant barrier.
Internationally trained nurses and doctors have long been decrying the bureaucratic barriers that hamper their ability to practice in B.C. However, no changes were made to the accreditation process for foreign-trained doctors.
B.C. Nurses’ Union president Aman Grewal, who has previously slammed the province for not having a plan to address the dire shortage of nursing staff in intensive care units, said the changes will have far-reaching significance for nurses trained outside Canada who want to work here.

The union has spent years pressing for changes to the assessment process, said Grewal, who has heard from nurses who have abandoned their dreams of practicing in B.C. because the process is too costly, too long or unnecessarily confusing.
B.C.’s move follows Alberta, which recently announced a similar plan to fast-track accreditation for internationally trained nurses. Alberta is also offering ICU nurses financial, educational and daycare incentives.
B.C. will also launch a recruitment scheme, run by Health Match B.C., aimed at attracting international nurses to B.C.
Every year, between 350 and 400 internationally trained nurses apply to the B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives to have their nursing credentials assessed in B.C. The college refers 80 per cent of those applications to the Nursing Community Assessment Service, B.C.’s body for assessing international nurses.

International nurses must also go through a parallel assessment through the National Nursing Assessment Services.
The new process will allow nurses to work in health care roles such as care aides while they’re waiting for their qualifications to be recognized.
The $9 million in bursaries will be available to all eligible internationally trained nurses wanting to practice in B.C., with an initial focus on those already living in the province. Dix said the bursaries will help approximately 1500 internationally trained nurses.
Health Match B.C. will hire nurse navigators who will support international nurses through the assessment process.

Blizzard pulled back the curtain on the next chapter in World of Warcraft in a developer livestream Tuesday, and it’s all about dragons. The appropriately titled Dragonflight expansion will unleash players upon the Dragon Isles and let them roll as a new playable dragon race called the Dracthyr. And of course you ride some of the dragons too.
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight focuses on Azeroth’s Dragon Aspects who will once again help the game’s heroes take on the baddies. The Dragon Isles where much of the action takes place will be split into four zones, and the developers said exploration will be a key focus of the expansion. To that end, players will be tasked with becoming dragonriders and making use of four new drake mounts to navigate the world.
Here’s the trailer:
Some of the dragons can transform into people on a whim, and these are called Dracthyr. This new playable race makes sole use of a new Evoker class to wield long-range attacks and heals. Unlike the game’s existing races, however, they won’t have access to any other classes. With less overall customisation comes a more focused moveset.
“[Evokers are] able to use their wings to buffet people away, they’re able to breathe fire out of their mouths, they’re able to knock people back with their tail,” lead combat designer Brian Holinka told Polygon.
Blizzard also revealed Dragonflight will see changes like the game’s “largest talent system revamp yet,” improvements to the HUD, and new crafting and profession systems. At the start of the livestream, game director Ion Hazzikostas was candid about some of the issues the game has had since Shadowlands released in 2020. Community feedback during this period led to the team “re-examining some of the assumptions and foundations of World of Warcraft about things like character investment and mains versus alts or how catch-up should work or the appropriate role of friction in our systems,” he said.
In recent years, WoW has faced stiff competition from the explosion in popularity around Final Fantasy XIV. In addition with discontent over the Shadowlands era of the game, the game has also suffered from the cloud of misconduct and abuse that hangs over Blizzard’s past following a lawsuit by California regulators last summer alleging gender discrimination and harassment, including by some of the MMO’s former “star” developers.
Dragonflight doesn’t have a release date yet, but Blizzard is currently taking sign-ups for the expansion’s beta test. The studio also announced Wrath of the Lich King will be added to World of Warcraft Classic, free for existing subscribers, sometime later in 2022. | https://www.kotaku.com.au/2022/04/new-world-of-warcraft-expansion-lets-you-fly-dragons/ | 2022-04-19T19:42:08Z | https://www.kotaku.com.au/2022/04/new-world-of-warcraft-expansion-lets-you-fly-dragons/ | false | 2 |

BOSTON (AP) — Jorge Polanco and Kyle Garlick hit early two-run homers over the Green Monster to back Dylan Bundy, carrying the Minnesota Twins past the Red Sox 8-3 in Boston’s annual Patriots’ Day game on Monday.
The game started at 11:11 a.m. EDT, played in conjunction with the 126th Boston Marathon, which ended about one mile from Fenway Park.
“I think I definitely gave us a little bit of momentum there in the beginning,” said Garlick of his first-inning homer. ”I just wanted to make sure I got a good night’s sleep because it was an early game today. I don’t mind the day games. I’m more of a morning person.”
Polanco added a two-run single in a four-run eighth inning and Gio Urshela had three singles for the Twins, who won the series finale for a four-game split.
Christian Vázquez hit a solo homer and Xander Bogaerts had three hits with an RBI for the Red Sox.
Bundy (2-0) gave up one run and five hits in 5 1/3 innings with six strikeouts and no walks. In his Twins’ debut, he pitched five shutout innings after signing a $4 million, one-year deal as a free agent on December 1.
“This game’s hard to play. It’s 11 a.m. It’s early,” Bundy said. “It’s always nice to have the guys swinging early and getting that early run support.”
A few minutes after fans were turning on the back of the Monster attempting to get a glimpse at the men’s leaders of the race heading toward nearby Kenmore Square, Polanco hit his drive into the second row of seats off starter Rich Hill (0-1) that made it 4-0 in the third.
Hill was pitching three days after his 94-year-old father, Lloyd Sr., passed away. His dad ran 37 Boston Marathons.
“For him to go out there and compete, that was good enough for us,” Boston manager Alex Cora said. “Obviously, the two swings, right, the homers. Besides that, changing speeds, using the breaking ball, gave us more than enough the way he started.”
Hill admitted that it’s been a tough couple of days.
“It was a tough weekend,” Hill said. “But the job is to be a professional and show up.”
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli expressed his sympathy before the game.
“We want to send our thoughts to Rich across the way,” Baldelli said. “I’m sure it’ll be an emotional and very meaningful day for him.”
Hill gave up four runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings.
“We feel sad for him,” Boston third baseman Rafael Devers said through a translator. “He’s a really good competitor and did a really good job out there today.”
NEIGHBORHOOD PLAY
The Red Sox have been scheduled on Patriots’ Day every year since 1959 but it was the first time since 2019 they played on the day of the marathon. The 2020 baseball season was delayed and that year’s marathon held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2021 marathon was moved to October.
TRIBUTE
The Red Sox wore their traditional white home uniforms, but with red lettering that read “Boston” across the front, a tribute that started nine years ago in the first game after two bombs went off near the finish line, killing three people and injuring more than 260 others.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Twins: Baldelli met with OF Byron Buxton, who left the series opener after aggravating his right knee on a hard slide. “He’s very optimistic about how he’s feeling right now,” Baldelli said. “I think we’re going to get to the point in the next day or two where we’re going to talk about a specific plan about getting him back.” Buxton had an MRI on Saturday that didn’t reveal any structural issues.
Red Sox: INF Trevor Story had the day off. … C Kevin Plawecki was placed on the COVID-19 related injured list, and C Connor Wong was recalled from Triple-A Worcester.
UP NEXT
Twins: Begin a three-game series in Kansas City on Tuesday. RHP Chris Archer (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is scheduled to make his second start after pitching four scoreless innings last week. RHP Carlos Hernández (0-0, 8.31) is in line for the Royals.
Red Sox: Open a three-game series against the Blue Jays in their first night game of the season at Fenway Park Tuesday. RHP Nathan Eovaldi (1-0, 4.50) is slated to face Toronto LHP Yusei Kikuchi (0-1, 5.40).

California woman pleads guilty to 2016 kidnapping hoax
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — (AP) — A Northern California woman pleaded guilty Monday to faking her own kidnapping and lying to the FBI about it, leaving her motive unanswered in the carefully planned hoax that set off a massive three-week search before she resurfaced on Thanksgiving Day in 2016.
Sherri Papini, 39, of Redding, offered no explanation for her elaborate hoax during the half-hour court hearing.
“I feel very sad,” she said tearfully when Senior U.S. District Judge William Shubb asked her how she was feeling.
“Were you kidnapped?” he asked her later in the hearing.
“No, Your Honor,” she replied.
“Did you lie to government agents when you told them you were kidnapped?” Shubb continued.
“Yes, Your Honor,” she responded.
Papini agreed to plead guilty in a deal with prosecutors reached last week and is scheduled to be sentenced July 11.
Prosecutors agreed to recommend a sentence on the low end of the sentencing range, estimated to be between eight and 14 months in custody, down from the maximum 25 years for the two charges.
She also agreed to pay restitution topping $300,000. That includes the cost of the search for her that covered several Western states, and the subsequent investigation into the “two Hispanic women” she said had kidnapped her at gunpoint.
Papini was actually staying with a former boyfriend nearly 600 miles (966 kilometers) away in Southern California’s Orange County. Three weeks later, he dropped her off along Interstate 5 nearly 150 miles (240 kilometers) from her home.
She had bindings on her body and self-inflicted injuries including a swollen nose and blurred “brand” on her right shoulder. She had other bruises and rashes on many parts of her body, ligature marks on her wrists and ankles, and burns on her left forearm.
The married mother of two kept lying about it as recently as August 2020 when in fact there was no kidnapping, she admitted in her guilty plea.
Papini has offered no rationale for why she did it.
Her attorney, William Portanova, said last week that he doubts even she knows.
He suggested “a very complicated mental health situation," and said her long-delayed acceptance of responsibility and punishment is part of the healing process.
Papini said Monday that she has been receiving psychiatric care for anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder ever since her return — more than $30,000 worth of treatment for which she billed a state victim compensation fund and which is now part of her restitution.
Prosecutors say her faked kidnapping wasn’t impulsive, and that she planned it for more than a year without her husband knowing. The former boyfriend told investigators they didn’t have sex while she stayed with him.
Papini’s organization and planning would seem to make conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression an unlikely explanation, two mental health experts said independently.
Both cautioned that they have not examined Papini and that many factors in the case remain unknown to the public.
She may have expected that the kidnapping hoax would bring her “fame and fortune,” said Dr. Ian Lamoureux, a forensic psychiatrist and frequent expert witness who teaches at the University of Arizona College of Medicine and the Mayo Clinic.
And she did benefit financially: Aside from the victim compensation, she must repay nearly $128,000 in disability payments. Separately, a GoFundMe campaign raised more than $49,000 to help the family.
As a possibly related factor, Lamoureux has researched the false hero or “pathological hero” phenomenon that takes advantage of society's treatment of victims as heroes. Those who fake their own victimization may be seeking recognition or popularity, and if mental illness is involved it may suggest a narcissistic or histrionic personality disorder.
Another possible explanation is that she faked her kidnapping to avoid some other adverse consequence, he said, typically something like a divorce or being fired, though Papini was a stay-at-home mom.
Lamoureux, who specializes in complicated criminal and civil cases, said manufacturing a crisis may be a way for those with fragile egos and poor coping skills to seek to prevent the bad outcome from happening.
And there are such things as compulsive liars, as well as those who do “not have a great distinction between fantasy and reality,” sometimes because of an earlier trauma, said Dr. Ziv Cohen, founder and medical director of Principium Psychiatry in New York City.
This case is unusual in that Papini had no clear motive and “this is consciously creating some kind of false traumatic situation,” said Cohen, who teaches at Weill Cornell Medical College and Columbia University. “She harmed herself — she wasn't actually abused by anyone.”
But for some pathological liars the motivation is simply in fooling others, he said, in this case perhaps her husband and investigators.
“These patients can sometimes remain quite mysterious and they often can deny their lies right until the end,” Cohen said. “They will persist and say in the face of all evidence that their version is true.”

Apple CEO Tim Cook issued an urgent warning against the forced opening of the iPhone's software system to applications from other sources. Users of Apple's smartphone so far can only install their applications through the brand's official store, App Store, but this will change for a new regulation of the European Union (EU). This decision will provide an opportunity for malicious purposes to bypass Apple's comprehensive security measures, Cook warned during the recent Global Privacy Summit of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) held in the US capital, Washington. Apple's CEO thus opposed European Union legislation on digital markets, known as the Digital Markets Act (DMA), on which negotiators from EU member states and the European Parliament reached an agreement at the end of March. Cook stressed that Apple is in favour of data protection regulation and, in that regard, welcomed the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). “But we are deeply concerned about regulations that undermine privacy and security in the service of other goals,” he said. “Here, in Washington and elsewhere, policymakers are taking actions in the name of competition that would force Apple to allow apps to enter iPhones that bypass the app store through a process called 'sideloading',” Cook stressed. Apple's CEO pointed out the threat it poses to users of other platforms, where apps can be installed outside the Google app store. At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, Cook noted, reports emerged of people downloading what appeared to be legitimate covid-19 tracking applications and as a result their devices were infected with ransomware. “These victims were not iPhone users because the system was aimed directly at those who could install applications from websites that bypass App Store protections,” he said. Supporters of the DMA say that opening up the app market also contributes to limiting the power of large Internet corporations and ensures fairer competition. The agreement has yet to be confirmed by the Council of States of the EU and the European Parliament, which is considered a formality. dpa | https://www.infobae.com/en/2022/04/19/apple-against-installing-applications-from-outside-the-app-store/ | 2022-04-19T20:02:46Z | https://www.infobae.com/en/2022/04/19/apple-against-installing-applications-from-outside-the-app-store/ | false | 1 |
The U.S. Department of Education says it will retroactively help millions of federal student loan borrowers who have been hurt and held back by its troubled income-driven repayment (IDR) plans, calling the plans' longstanding flaws and mismanagement "inexcusable."
Tuesday's announcement comes after years of complaints and lawsuits and, most recently, an NPR investigation that revealed that these IDR plans, which promise affordable monthly payments as low as $0 and loan forgiveness after 20-25 years, have been badly mismanaged by the department and the loan servicing companies it employs.
"Today, the Department of Education will begin to remedy years of administrative failures that effectively denied the promise of loan forgiveness to certain borrowers enrolled in IDR plans," U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a statement.
The department estimates that the changes will result in immediate debt cancellation for at least 40,000 borrowers who will now qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. In addition, several thousand borrowers will now qualify for debt cancellation under IDR.
This follows a 2021 revelation that, at the time, 4.4 million borrowers had been repaying their loans for at least 20 years but only 32 had had debts canceled under IDR.
As a result of Tuesday's news, millions more borrowers will also receive months and, in some cases, years of new credit toward eventual cancellation.
Here's what the department is committing to do:
Borrowers with long-term forbearances will get credit toward debt cancellation
The department and its office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) pledge to conduct a "one-time account adjustment" to give borrowers credit for time spent in what it considers unjustifiably long forbearances: more than 12 consecutive months or more than 36 cumulative months.
Forbearance allows borrowers in financial trouble to pause their payments, but interest continues to accrue and capitalize, meaning the interest itself ends up accruing interest. Income-driven repayment plans can offer the same, or nearly the same, reprieve from high monthly payments, and, unlike forbearance, they give borrowers a path toward loan cancellation.
After July 2009 when IDR plans became widely available, forbearance should have been loan servicers' tool of last resort for distressed borrowers. Instead, the department says, a new review found that servicers' use of long-term forbearance was "remarkably widespread."
According to the department, between July 2009 and March 2020, more than 13% of all Direct Loan borrowers were in forbearance for at least 36 months, suggesting "loan servicers placed borrowers into forbearance in violation of Department rules, even when their monthly payment under an IDR plan could have been as low as zero dollars." The department generally limits forbearance to 12 consecutive months or three years total, after which payments should resume.
The department's remedy means that borrowers will be given credit toward loan cancellation for some of these long-term forbearances. For example, a borrower who spent 16 consecutive months in forbearance would be given credit for 16 qualifying payments toward cancellation.
The department estimates that 3.6 million borrowers will receive at least three years of new credit toward cancellation. Many more borrowers will benefit but receive less than that.
The plan excludes one prominent group of borrowers: those who spent less than 12 consecutive months and less than 36 cumulative months in forbearance, though it does promise an "account review" for those who choose to file a complaint with FSA's ombudsman.
Inaccuracies in how qualifying payments were counted will be corrected
NPR reporting earlier this month revealed pervasive inaccuracies in loan servicers' counts of borrowers' qualifying IDR payments, which the department now acknowledges and pledges to address with a one-time revision of past payments.
"Any months in which borrowers made payments will count toward IDR, regardless of repayment plan," the department's release says. "Payments made prior to consolidation on consolidated loans will also count. This fix is necessary to correct for data problems and past implementation inaccuracies."
After acquiring internal department documents, NPR found a litany of irregularities in how loan servicers were counting — or failing to count — qualifying IDR payments, thereby delaying borrowers' progress toward forgiveness. For example, $0 monthly payments were not being adequately tracked, potentially hurting the lowest-income borrowers. Also, borrowers appeared to erroneously lose credit for previous progress made toward IDR after emerging from default.
Improving the way borrowers' progress toward loan cancellation gets tracked
The department is offering two remedies for another serious problem highlighted in NPR's recent investigation — that loan servicers weren't uniformly tracking borrowers' progress toward loan cancellation, and some weren't tracking their progress at all.
FSA now says it will issue new guidance to servicers to make sure the companies' records are accurate and uniform. Perhaps more importantly, the department says in 2023 it will begin tracking IDR payments on its own system and displaying borrowers' progress at StudentAid.gov.
These changes will happen automatically — but it may take awhile
The department says it will make these adjustments to borrower records automatically, but first it will need to upgrade its antiquated National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). As such, loan cancellations won't officially begin until fall of this year.
The overhaul comes amid mounting political pressure
The department unveiled its overhaul plans amid mounting pressure from lawmakers.
On Monday, citing NPR's reporting, the chairs of both House and Senate education committees, Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., urged Education Secretary Miguel Cardona in a letter to "provide immediate relief and undo past harms."
"Borrowers have for too long, lived with ballooning debts and the false promise of loan forgiveness after 20 or 25 years in income-driven repayment," the letter said. "Payments must be corrected retroactively in order to provide relief to borrowers who have already been harmed by this broken safety net."
While the department's proposal addresses some of Scott's and Murray's demands, it falls short in at least one area. The top Democrats implored the department to retroactively give borrowers credit toward loan cancellation for all past periods of forbearance, not just long-term pauses.
In a statement, Scott said "today's announcement means that borrowers in Income-Driven Repayment will finally have reliable access to the loan forgiveness that they were promised and have been working toward... However, while the Department has taken a significant step to support borrowers, we know we must do more to fix our broken student loan system, including the Income-Driven Repayment program."
Last week, leading Senate Democrats, Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, also sent a letter to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Rohit Chopra, calling for his agency to investigate and "use all of its authorities to ensure borrowers are accessing IDR program benefits and receive the student loan forgiveness they have earned."
The department's announcement also comes not long before the U.S. Government Accountability Office is expected to release the results of its own investigation into IDR's failures.

Pakistan’s new PM picks coalition cabinet after Khan ousted
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -New Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday appointed a multi-party coalition cabinet made up of what had previously been political rivals in opposition who united to oust Imran Khan.
The cabinet, including five women, immediately set to work cementing relations with China as it battles a downwards economic spiral.
It will govern the country for a maximum of 16 months, after which a national election is due.
But with divergent views among the fledgling partners on whether to hold an election sooner than August 2023, it is unclear how long the government will remain in place.
Among the key appointments was Finance Minister Miftah Ismail, 57, a businessman and economist tasked with stabilising a troubled economy and restarting talks with the International Monetary Fund.
Aisha Ghaus Pasha, a former provincial finance minister, will work with Ismail as a state minister for finance.
Ismail’s first officially announced meeting was with the Chinese Embassy’s charge d’affaires, the finance ministry said in a statement.
Beijing has pledged billions of dollars in loans and investment in Pakistan under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a part of its Belt and Road Initiative.
“Referring to CPEC, the Federal Minister said that the corridor will play an important role in taking Pakistan’s economy forward as well as cementing the bilateral relationship,” the statement said.
The minister of state for foreign affairs role went to Hina Rabbani Khar, a member of coalition ally Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). Khar held the portfolio briefly in 2011.
Sharif, the head of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party, said the cabinet had been formed after consultations with his elder brother and three-time prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, as well as coalition partners.
“It is my fervent hope that federal ministers, ministers of state & advisers will provide leadership & resolve the problems of the people,” he said on Twitter, adding “Work, work & only work is our motto”.
The cabinet is comprised of 33 ministers and three advisers, newly appointed Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb told reporters.

Ukraine and Russia: What you need to know right now
* U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for a four-day humanitarian pause over the Orthodox Easter to allow civilians to leave areas of conflict and humanitarian aid to reach hard-hit areas. ECONOMY * Russia's invasion has damaged or destroyed up to 30% of Ukraine's infrastructure at a cost of $100 billion, a Ukrainian minister said, adding reconstruction could be achieved in two years using frozen Russian assets to help finance it. * World Bank President David Malpass will host a meeting on Thursday with Ukraine's prime minister and finance minister to discuss further financial assistance.
Thousands of Russian troops backed by artillery and rocket barrages began a long-anticipated offensive in eastern Ukraine on Tuesday, prompting Western countries to pledge more arms and money to the Kyiv government. FIGHTING
* Ukraine's defence ministry said the aim of Russia's new offensive in eastern Ukraine was to seize all of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, establish a land link between those territories and Crimea, and destroy Ukraine's armed forces. * An aide to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia's new offensive in eastern Ukraine will fail because Moscow's forces lack the strength to break through Ukrainian defences.
* A senior U.S. official said the latest offensive was the prelude to a much larger assault. * In Mariupol, scene of the war's heaviest fighting and worst humanitarian catastrophe, a last group of Ukrainian defenders holding out in the Azovstal steel works defied Russian calls to surrender and be spared.
* However, about 120 civilians living next to the sprawling plant left via humanitarian corridors, the Interfax news agency reported, quoting Russian state TV. * Russian forces seized Kreminna, a city of over 18,000 people in eastern Ukraine, and Ukrainian forces withdrew, the regional governor said.
* Russia handed over 60 soldiers and 16 civilians to Ukraine in the fifth such exchange of prisoners of war, Ukraine's deputy prime minister said. * At least four people were killed and 14 wounded in Russian shelling of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second city, the regional governor said.
DIPLOMACY * U.S. President Joe Biden held a 90-minute video call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and the leaders of France, Germany, Britain, Poland, Japan and Italy.
* "There was broad consensus on the need to step up pressure on the Kremlin, including by adopting further sanctions, and to increase Moscow's international isolation," the Italian government said. * German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the allies were cooperating to provide more financial and military support to Ukraine, including long-range artillery and anti-tank and air defence weapons. Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also promised more artillery weapons.
* Ukrainian negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak told Reuters it was hard to say when the next direct peace talks would be possible as Russia was now "seriously betting" on its offensive in eastern Ukraine. * U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for a four-day humanitarian pause over the Orthodox Easter to allow civilians to leave areas of conflict and humanitarian aid to reach hard-hit areas.
ECONOMY * Russia's invasion has damaged or destroyed up to 30% of Ukraine's infrastructure at a cost of $100 billion, a Ukrainian minister said, adding reconstruction could be achieved in two years using frozen Russian assets to help finance it.
* World Bank President David Malpass will host a meeting on Thursday with Ukraine's prime minister and finance minister to discuss further financial assistance. He said Ukraine's debt burden had to be "reduced substantially" because of the pressures from Russia's invasion. * Russia flagged a likely further cut in interest rates and more budget spending to help the economy adapt to biting Western sanctions as it heads for its deepest contraction since 1994.
QUOTES "Of course there are morons who draw 'Z', but 10% of any country are morons. 90% of Russians are AGAINST this war! ... Dear 'collective West' please give Mr Putin a clear exit to save his face and stop this massacre" - wealthy Russian businessman Oleg Tinkov
"What has Russia's invasion of Ukraine cost? A crisis on top of a crisis, with devastating human costs and a massive setback for the global economy," IMF Managing Director Kristalina told a food security panel. (Editing by Kevin Liffey)

From carbon capture and hydrogen development to the accelerated rollout of wind and solar power and rapid electrification of transportation systems, the federal government has laid out an ambitious roadmap to get Canada to its climate target of cutting emissions by 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030, and net-zero emissions by 2050.
But overhauling this country’s entire energy infrastructure in a short amount of time represents an unprecedented technical challenge that will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, experts say. And pessimists are quick to point out that Canada doesn’t have a good recent track record when it comes to getting ambitious, expensive infrastructure projects over the finish line.
In Alberta in particular — where the ghosts of cancelled pipeline projects still haunt the public consciousness — some observers believe this country has lost the political will and spirit of national unity that’s required to get big things done.
“We’ve spent a decade making building anything extremely difficult, if not impossible,” said Calgary-based energy analyst, oil services sector executive and consultant David Yager.
“Canada’s recent history suggests these (net-zero) targets are aspirational, to say the least.”
Yager points to Enbridge Inc.’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, which was quashed by the federal Liberals in 2016. In 2017, the proposed $15.7-billion Energy East project was cancelled by TransCanada after being bogged down by regulatory delays, new environmental criteria, and opposition to the line along major sections of the proposed route.
Then in 2021, TC Energy’s proposed Keystone XL pipeline project was cancelled by U.S. president Joe Biden — the culmination of a decade-plus battle that had pitted the energy industry against environmentalists opposed to the project.
There are many other high-profile examples of troubled Canadian energy projects, from the Coastal GasLink pipeline — the construction of which led to rail blockades across the country by Indigenous opponents of the project and their supporters — to Pacific Northwest LNG, a proposed liquefied natural gas terminal in Prince Rupert, B.C., which was scrapped by Malaysia’s Petronas and partners in 2017 in part because of concerns raised by local Indigenous groups about the project’s impact on salmon spawning grounds in the area.
While the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is going ahead, the costs of that project have ballooned to $21.4 billion after being bought by the federal government for $4.5 billion in 2018. Trans Mountain has been dogged by increased security costs, route changes to avoid culturally and environmentally sensitive areas, and scheduling delays related to permitting processes, among other issues.
Opponents of these projects say the cancellations and delays show the need to end reliance on the fossil fuel industry and move toward greener energy production.
But it isn’t just oil and gas projects that are becoming increasingly difficult to build these days, Yager said. In Ontario, wind farm projects have been cancelled because they pose threats to bat populations. In Quebec, a proposed hydro line that would have carried clean power to Massachusetts was scrapped after residents of tiny Maine refused to allow transmission through their state.
“You can’t even build a cellphone tower anymore without running into opposition,” Yager said. “Where do you think you could put a new hydro dam nowadays? Nowhere.”
Experts have suggested that Canada will have to double, perhaps even triple, the size of its electricity grid by 2050 in order to meet its net-zero goals. That would require not just new transmission infrastructure, but interprovincial co-operation on new regional interties to help connect areas with access to clean power to areas still reliant on coal.
In addition, the federal government wants to increase Canadian production of critical minerals such as copper, aluminum and lithium in order to support a domestic supply chain for the electric vehicle industry.
The prospect is daunting, said Warren Mabee, director of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Policy at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont.
“All of these things have a footprint, and are going to be a challenge to implement,” he said.
Canada isn’t the only jurisdiction where large-scale infrastructure projects increasingly face regulatory and social license challenges. It’s a similar story in the U.S. and in Europe, Mabee said, adding there’s a real risk that companies in the clean energy space will default to the developing world or other jurisdictions where the rules aren’t as tight and the public doesn’t get as much of a say in where and how things are built.
He added he believes it’s possible for Canada to advance its net-zero goals, but he said the government will need to clearly communicate what the vision is — and then have the political will to enforce it.
“The level of effort that’s going to be required will be comparable to the COVID-19 pandemic response,” Mabee said.
But Donna Kennedy-Glans, a former oil industry executive who served as Alberta’s associate minister for electricity and renewable energy from 2013 to 2014, said she doesn’t think projects carried out in the name of energy transition will come up against the same kind of hurdles that the oil and gas industry has faced in recent years.
She said while there are certainly people who oppose large-scale wind and solar farms, some of the biggest renewable energy projects in the world are blossoming across Alberta right now, and in general, the regulatory process has gone smoothly.
“Very few people are stepping up to try to stop this … the people who complain are being viewed as being opposed to green energy, and that’s really not a comfortable space to be in,” Kennedy-Glans said.
She added that she believes even the large-scale expropriation of private land for new transmission lines, for example, will face relatively little political and regulatory pushback if it’s carried out in the name of climate change.
“There will be a different level of political will to see that done,” Kennedy-Glans said. “I do think that people in affected communities will be upset by it … but it’s going to come down to a question of ‘is this in the public interest and is it the right thing to do?’ “
