A Louisiana fire chief is praising three men for heroically rescuing a 67-year-old woman from her burning home on Saturday.
In a press release, the Winnsboro Fire Department said they responded to a reported structure fire in the 2300 block of West Harper Street in Winnsboro, LA, at approximately 2:11 p.m.
Before they arrived on the scene, Anthony Johnson, his brother Traevon Johnson, and their pal Kendarious Moore observed the burning building while driving down the street and immediately took action, KTVE/KARD reported.

“Something was on fire, and then I just told bro to stop the truck,” Anthony said. “He got out went to the house and opened the door and lots of heavy smoke came out.”
The men began calling for 67-year-old Amy Mathis, nicknamed Ms. Lou, who said he was watching TV in bed, according to KTVE/KARD.
“I looked up and smoke was coming out the vent, and by that time three young fellows was coming over there hollering, ‘Ms. Lou, your house on fire,’ and I was just coming down the hall and they come and got me out of there,” Mathis recounted.
“It felt good. ‘Thank you Lord’ was the first thing I said,” she added.
Moore told KNOE that after Mathis was safely out of the residence, they brought her to his grandmother’s house across the road.
When the fire department arrived on the scene with personnel from five crews, firefighters observed heavy smoke emanating from the front of the home, according to the release. Despite their best efforts, the structure was heavily damaged, but no one was injured.

“I wanted to take the time to shine a spotlight on 3 gentlemen that displayed outstanding courage prior to the arrival of our first engine,” Chief Jessie Morris wrote in the release.
He noted that the men entered Mathis’s home “without hesitation” and successfully saved the 67-year-old “from serious injury and almost certain death.”
Morris added:
I wanted to give them special thanks for saving her from serious injury and almost certain death. It takes a lot for an everyday citizen to put themselves in harms way for their neighbor, and these guys were most certainly where God needed them to be. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for a friend. I feel this is the very meaning of the verse written in John 15:13.
Johnson also praised God for making the rescue possible.
“It made me feel good. Everybody needs help. That moment right there, that’s just a dangerous situation,” he told KTVE/KARD. “God just had us at the right place at the right time.”
Authorities are still investigating the cause of the blaze, and Mathis is searching for a new home, according to the outlet. | https://www.breitbart.com/local/2022/04/20/3-men-rescue-woman-burning-louisiana-home/ | 2022-04-21T02:58:46Z | https://www.breitbart.com/local/2022/04/20/3-men-rescue-woman-burning-louisiana-home/ | true | 1 |
Datsun Redi-Go, Go And Go Plus Are No Longer On Sale
Published On Apr 20, 2022 06:12 PM By Tarun for Datsun GO

Only some leftover stocks are still available at Nissan dealerships for a hefty discount
-
The entire Indian lineup of Datsun models are out of production.
-
The Go debuted first in 2014, followed by the Go Plus in 2015, and Redi-Go in 2016.
-
All three were very aggressively priced, especially the Go Plus, which was the most affordable MPV back then.
-
The Datsun brand is part of Nissan, who revived it in 2013 for serving entry-level markets like Indonesia, India, and South Africa.
-
There are still some leftover stocks available at Nissan dealerships with heavy discounts.
Datsun has silently pulled the plug on the Go and Redi-Go hatchbacks and the Go Plus MPV. Our sources have confirmed the development, but we’re awaiting an official announcement from the carmaker. This comes in after Nissan announced that it will discontinue the Datsun brand globally.
The Datsun brand falls under Nissan, and thereby the Renault Nissan Alliance. It was revived in 2013 to serve entry-level markets like Indonesia, India, and South Africa. The first model Datsun offered in India upon revival was the Go hatchback in 2014.
The Datsun models never really witnessed significant volume sales. Despite being aggressively priced, they had outdated and lackluster interiors with not many features. The Go Plus was the most affordable MPV back in 2015 (was priced under Rs 4 lakh back then) but never managed to garner enough sales.
The Datsun Go twins were offered with a 1.2-litre petrol engine and a 5-speed manual gearbox. Both received a facelift and a CVT gearbox in 2019, which was the last update for them. Despite giving them features such as a touchscreen infotainment, dual front airbags, and a parking camera, they did not garner much attention for the overall lack of quality in the budget-centric cabin. The Go was primarily aimed at the Hyundai Santro, Maruti Suzuki WagonR, Celerio, and Tata Tiago. The Go Plus had no direct rival for many years until Renault launched the Triber, which became far more successful even with the higher pricing.
The Redi-Go was offered with 0.8-litre and 1-litre engines, paired with a manual transmission (AMT was introduced later). It received a comprehensive facelift in 2020 which added a fair few features to the entry-level model. It was a rival to the Renault Kwid, Maruti Alto, S-Presso, and the now discontinued, Hyundai Eon.
As for the spare parts and service costs, the existing owners will be offered support through Nissan and its service centres. Now, Nissan continues to focus on its current (and small) line-up, consisting of the Magnite and Kicks. The latter is also expected to be phased out in the near future.

By Glen Keogh and Niamh Lynch for the Daily Mail
Vladimir Putin sent a chilling warning to the West yesterday by test-launching his fearsome ‘Satan II’ missile.
Capable of striking a target 11,200 miles away, the nuclear-capable Sarmat RS-28 is said to be the world’s longest-range intercontinental ballistic missile.
Putin described the launch as a ‘big, significant event’ for Russia’s military and claimed the weapon can overcome all modern defence systems.
However the US described the testing as ‘routine’ and dismissed any global threat.
If fully armed, it can deliver a payload big enough to destroy an area the size of France.
In remarks televised around Russia, Putin congratulated the military on the launch, adding: ‘This truly unique weapon will strengthen the combat potential of our armed forces, reliably ensure the security of Russia from external threats and make those who, in the heat of aggressive rhetoric, try to threaten our country, think twice.’
He added it was ‘capable of overcoming all modern means of anti-missile defence.’ Dmitry Rogozin, director of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, said the weapon was a ‘present to Nato and all sponsors of Ukro-Nazism’, a reference to the outlandlish propaganda claims that Kyiv is run by neo-Nazis.
Despite the timing – coming as Western countries pledge further heavy weaponry to aid Ukraine – the Pentagon said it was notified by the Kremlin of its intention to launch the weapon.
Initial tests of the missile took place in 2017 and the first full-scale launch was delayed from December, prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The RS-28 Sarmat is designed to replace the R-36, which had been nicknamed SS-18 Satan by NATO.
Describing the successful launch, a statement from Russia’s defence ministry said: ‘Sarmat is the most powerful missile with the longest range of destruction of targets in the world, which will significantly increase the combat power of our country’s strategic nuclear forces.’
Capable of travelling at up to 16,000mph, it can deploy multiple warheads and other weapons towards targets at hypersonic speeds, making it extremely difficult to bring down.
It will be able to launch the Avangard, Russia’s first hypersonic missile, which can travel at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere at more than ten times the speed of sound.
Putin has previously described the weapon as ‘invincible’. The original Soviet-era Satan missile has been in service since the 1970s, while ‘Satan II’ is said to have been in development since the early 2000s.
The head of Moscow’s strategic missile forces, Colonel-General Sergey Karakayev vowed to keep developing hypersonic weapons.
‘By the time they [the West] find an antidote, we must have found another solution to this. And today we are working on it. There are developments, there is work in progress.
Jack Watling, of the Royal United Services Institute defence think-tank said the timing of yesterday’s test was mere posturing by Putin ahead of Russia’s Victory Day on May 9, where the Kremlin shows off its weapons.
‘The timing of the test reflects the Russians wanting to have something to show as a technological achievement in the lead-up to Victory Day, at a time when a lot of their technology has not delivered the results they would have liked in Ukraine,’ he said.
When Putin invaded Ukraine in February he made a reference to his nation’s nuclear deterrents, warning the West that any major intervention would ‘lead you to such consequences that you have never encountered in your history’. | https://www.kanivatonga.nz/2022/04/vladimir-putin-warns-west-to-think-twice-as-russia-tests-satan-2-intercontinental-ballistic-missile/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vladimir-putin-warns-west-to-think-twice-as-russia-tests-satan-2-intercontinental-ballistic-missile&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vladimir-putin-warns-west-to-think-twice-as-russia-tests-satan-2-intercontinental-ballistic-missile | 2022-04-21T03:06:13Z | https://www.kanivatonga.nz/2022/04/vladimir-putin-warns-west-to-think-twice-as-russia-tests-satan-2-intercontinental-ballistic-missile/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vladimir-putin-warns-west-to-think-twice-as-russia-tests-satan-2-intercontinental-ballistic-missile&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vladimir-putin-warns-west-to-think-twice-as-russia-tests-satan-2-intercontinental-ballistic-missile | false | 5 |

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera is one hit away from another historic milestone.
The 39-year-old veteran tallied three singles in the Tigers' 5-3 loss against the New York Yankees on Wednesday at Comerica Park, leaving him at 2,999 career hits entering Thursday's series finale.
The Tigers play three home games against the Colorado Rockies from Friday through Sunday. With one more hit, Cabrera will become the 33rd player in MLB history to reach 3,000 hits.
JEFF SEIDEL: Miguel Cabrera's teammates share what makes him so special as he chases 3,000
Doing so will make the 20-year MLB veteran the seventh player in history with 500 home runs and 3,000 hits. And Cabrera, boasting 599 doubles, could soon be one of three players with 500 homers, 3,000 hits and 600 doubles.
The hits from Cabrera weren't wasted Wednesday night. Cabrera finished 3-for-4 with one strikeout.
Facing Yankees right-handed reliever Chad Green, Cabrera followed Jeimer Candelario's sixth-inning leadoff single with a broken-bat single — No. 2,999 — on a grounder that snuck through the infield hole and into left field.

— MLB (@MLB) April 21, 2022
Despite consecutive outs, Harold Castro plated Candelario and Cabrera with a double to the left-center gap. He hammered a first-pitch fastball from Green, and his two RBIs tied the game at 3-all.
Tigers righty reliever Drew Hutchison allowed one unearned run in the seventh, and fellow right-hander Joe Jimenez gave up an earned run in the eighth inning. Righty Michael Fulmer, who took over for Hutchison, logged the final two outs in the seventh.
Righty Jason Foley pitched the ninth.
[ Jeimer Candelario puts slow start into perspective: 'There's 152 more games' ]
Three's a crowd
Cabrera also recorded singles in the second and fourth innings off Yankees right-handed starter Luis Severino.
His first hit, an infield single to third base, occurred on Severino's sixth-pitch changeup in a 2-2 count. His second hit, a single up the middle, came on an eight-pitch fastball in a 3-2 count.
In the second, Victor Reyes pushed an RBI single to right field for a 1-0 lead. Cabrera, though, was thrown out — for the first out — trying to go from first to third on the play.
Cabrera's fourth-inning hit, with the Tigers trailing 2-1, sparked a bases-loaded situation, as Reyes (single) and Spencer Torkelson (walk) followed the former two-time MVP by reaching safely with one out. But Castro lined out and Tucker Barnhart struck out swinging, stranding the bases juiced.
An opportunity for No. 3,000 appeared in the eighth, as Cabrera stepped into the batter's box as the inning's leadoff hitter against New York right-handed reliever Clay Holmes.
Cabrera struck out swinging on a fourth-pitch 96.8 mph sinker.
E-Rod rock solid
Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez labored through the first three innings, but he retired 11 of his final 12 opponents to conclude his outing. He allowed a one-out solo home run to Anthony Rizzo in the sixth inning but picked up the final two outs.
Rodriguez, in his third start this season, allowed three runs on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts in six innings.
The Yankees scored two runs off him in the third on an RBI double from Aaron Judge and RBI groundout from Rizzo, taking a 2-1 lead with a runner on third base. Rodriguez escaped further damage by striking out Giancarlo Stanton looking on a fastball that painted the inside edge.
[ Why Miguel Cabrera's march to 3,000 hits is special for Eduardo Rodriguez ]
In the fourth, Rodriguez relied on his changeup.
He pitched a perfect inning.
Rodriguez retired nine batters in a row until Rizzo's one-out home run in the sixth.
For his 98 pitches (58 strikes), Rodriguez used 39 four-seam fastballs, 24 cutters, 21 changeups, 11 sinkers and three sliders. He racked up seven swings and misses — including four with his changeup — and 17 called strikes.
His fastball averaged 91.7 mph.

Which ‘Beauty and the Beast’ backpack is best?
There are plenty of reasons to love the Disney animated classic “Beauty and the Beast.” With fun songs, gorgeous animation and unforgettable characters, it remains one of the most beloved Disney classics. As a result, there’s been a lot of “Beauty and the Beast” merchandise released. So, which “Beauty and the Beast” themed backpack takes the cake? That depends on what you’re looking for. Check out the Loungefly Disney Beauty And The Beast Belle Cosplay Shoulder Bag for a backpack that will make you feel like the belle of the ball.
What to know before you buy a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ backpack
Small backpack vs. large backpack
The backpack size you choose depends on how you’ll be using it. Is it for school, work or travel? If so, then a medium or large backpack about 13 inches tall is probably the way to go. If you are looking for a miniature backpack to wear instead of a small purse, then a backpack about 10.5 inches tall should do the trick.
Types of straps
While most backpacks feature two straps, this is not always the case. Some “Beauty and the Beast” backpacks have one strap. A few even have one strap that unzips into two so that you can change up how you carry it. In recent years, backpacks that can also be worn with one strap like a purse have become increasingly popular. Regardless of which type you prefer, adjustable and padded straps are often the easiest on your back.
Materials
Most “Beauty and the Beast” backpacks are made from polyester or faux leather. Polyester is the more lightweight option, but faux leather tends to be tougher. It even beats out real leather in terms of durability. Polyester is not waterproof unless it has a plastic coating. Many faux leather bags are waterproof and dry quickly.
What to look for in a quality ‘Beauty and the Beast’ backpack
Excellent illustrations
The animation in “Beauty and the Beast” is Disney at its finest, and a great backpack needs good-looking artwork. Nothing makes a Disney-themed item look cheap like bad pictures that don’t even resemble the characters you know and love. The bag’s color scheme should feel reminiscent of the film, and the featured characters should be immediately recognizable.
Matching hardware
A beautiful backpack can look unattractive if the zippers and buckles don’t match. Whether a backpack has silver, gunmetal, gold or rose gold hardware, those metal components should match the color scheme of the backpack in a complementary way. For example, a bag with a lot of pink tones might look better with rose gold hardware rather than silver hardware.
Pockets and sleeves
No matter the theme, a great backpack can help keep you organized. There should be at least two main pockets, one big and one small, for separating belongings. Even better backpacks have interior or side pockets and sleeves to keep everything easily accessible.
Insulated compartments
A really practical “Beauty and the Beast” backpack features one or two insulated pockets, eliminating the need to pack food or drinks separately. Insulated compartments have thicker siding. Insulating some compartments but not all of them helps keep the bag from getting too bulky and heavy.
How much you can expect to spend on a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ backpack
A “Beauty and the Beast” backpack costs $30-$130, but a specialty backpack with extra amenities, such as a diaper bag backpack, can cost over $200.
‘Beauty and the Beast’ backpack FAQ
What is a cosplay backpack?
A. Cosplay means dressing up like an existing character. It is popular with fan festivals and conventions for beloved media. A cosplay backpack is made to embody the vibe of a character, or it can be designed to replicate an accessory a specific character is known for carrying.
Is Loungefly officially licensed by Disney?
A. Loungefly is owned by Disney. This explains why Loungefly products feature such accurate artwork and why its products cost more than similar items made by other manufacturers.

Sometimes the best way to stick with a budget is to follow a simple rule that doesn’t dictate how every last dollar should be spent. That’s the idea behind the 50/15/5 rule, which offers guidelines on managing your monthly budget while still keeping you on track of your saving goals. This rule is most relevant for people who already earn enough cover their expenses and put money aside for retirement — here’s a look at how it works.
How to use the 50/15/5 rule
Popularised by Fidelity, the 50/15/5 monthly budget rule helps you maintain financial stability in the short term while ensuring that you’re on track to keep your current lifestyle in retirement. The rule breaks down as follows:
- 50 per cent or less of your take-home pay should be spent on essential expenses such as housing, utilities, transportation, and food.
- 15 per cent of your pre-tax income should be saved into a retirement account (including matching employer contributions, if that’s offered).
- 5 per cent goes toward unexpected monthly expenses or building an emergency fund.
Of course, that’s only 70% of your income. The remaining 30% is usually spent on discretionary purchases like restaurant meals, entertainment, clothing or travel. The benefit to this approach is that you don’t have to micromanage every discretionary penny you spend — a hassle that makes it more likely that you’ll ditch budgeting altogether (a recent survey suggests that 20% of people don’t budget at all).
Of course, this rule works best if you’re living somewhat comfortably already, as you’d have to increase your retirement savings if you want to improve your lifestyle in retirement (and if you’re weighed down by a lot of debt, a 50/20/30 budget or 80/20 budget might be a better fit for you).
To see if a 50/15/5 budget works for you, check out this calculator. And remember, this rule is adjustable, too — aside from the 15% earmarked for retirement savings, the rest of this budget rule is more of a guideline than a firm rule to be followed. Many people struggle to keep expenses at just 50%, so you might want to do something closer to 65/15/5 — whatever works best for you.
You can always adjust your approach to the 50/15/5 rule if you find a few cheeky ways to save some extra cash each month, like combing through your utility bills to see where and how you can save. For example, when it comes to phone, internet and electricity bills, you should check to make sure you’re not overpaying with your current provider and what the current deals are. You might even be able to negotiate a better deal.
The best way to do this is to compare your current costs to alternative providers in your area. We’ve partnered with a powerful comparison tool called eConnex to help make this process fast and easy. You can even use your most current electricity bill details to get an accurate comparison. Enter your postcode in the box below to get started.

If you do find yourself in a position where you can save some extra cash each month, you can factor those savings into your 50/15/5 rule, and maybe even give yourself some additional wiggle room.
And if you’re struggling to pay off your debts, we’ve got a few ideas about how to help with that too.

Omicron BA.2 overall makes up more than 90% of COVID variants in U.S. - CDC
April 19 (Reuters) - The BA.2 sub-variant of Omicron and its sublineage BA.2.12.1 is estimated to make up more than 90% of the coronavirus variants in the United States as of April 16, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Tuesday.
Overall cases have dropped sharply nationally since hitting record levels in January, but COVID-19 infections have been on the rise during the last few weeks, particularly in Northeast states like New York, and Connecticut.
A resurgence in COVID-19 cases in parts of Asia and Europe has raised concerns that another wave could follow in the U.S, as has been the case with previous surges during the pandemic. read more
The seven-day moving average of U.S. COVID cases stood at 34,972 as of April 16, up 23.4% from a week earlier.
BA.2 made up 74.4% of the variants in the country for the week ending April 16, while BA.2.12.1 made up 19%, according to estimates from the CDC.

GREENBELT, Md., April 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NASA has selected two firms for the Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) Lightning Mapper (LMX) Phase A Study. These contracted firms will provide services to help meet the objectives of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) GeoXO program.
The firms selected are Northrop Grumman Corporation System Sector of Azusa, California, and Lockheed Martin Corporation of Littleton, Colorado. The total value of each of these twenty-month firm-fixed-price contracts is approximately $5 million. The work will be performed at the contractors' facilities.
The principal purpose of these contracts is to provide a definition-phase study of a GeoXO LMX instrument. The LMX instrument will be a single-channel, near-infrared optical detector used to detect, locate, and measure the optical pulses associated with lightning. It is planned to fly on the NOAA GeoXO Program series of geostationary satellites.
NOAA's GeoXO satellite system is the groundbreaking mission that will advance Earth observations from geostationary orbit. The mission will supply vital information to address major environmental challenges of the future in support of weather, ocean, and climate operations in the United States. The GeoXO mission will continue and expand observations provided by the GOES-R series of satellites. GeoXO will bring new capabilities to address emerging environmental issues and challenges that threaten the security and well-being of every American. NOAA is working to ensure these critical observations are in place by the early 2030s, as the GOES-R Series nears the end of its operational lifetime.
The GeoXO mission is a collaborative partnership between NOAA and NASA. NOAA funds, operates, and manages the mission and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the acquisition of the Phase A Formulation contracts.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three hours before Wednesday night's game, with his club last in the majors in batting average, slugging percentage and runs, first-year Arizona Diamondbacks hitting coach Joe Mather sat in the visitor's dugout at Nationals Park and acknowledged: “There’s probably a little pressing.”
A little while later, in the visitor's clubhouse, rookie Seth Beer considered the state of Arizona's offense and offered this analysis: “That’s just baseball — that’s why we love this game and that’s why we hate it. But the more we can continue to get opportunities to be a thereat is when things will start to go our way. We’ve got to keep that mentality and things will start happening.”
They sure did — for a day, anyway.
Beer's three hits and three RBIs, along with Daulton Varsho's two-run homer to cap a lengthy at-bat, propelled the dormant Diamondbacks to more than double their previous highest output of 2022 in an 11-2 victory over the Washington Nationals after a pregame parachuting display caused a scare at the nearby U.S. Capitol.
Arizona entered with a 3-8 record, thanks largely to its woes at the plate, including just 22 runs — two per game. They hadn't pushed across more than five runs in any contest and tallied a grand total of one across 18 innings while getting swept in a doubleheader Tuesday.
“We didn't let up. We kept going, kept putting guys on, kept getting those big hits,” Beer said after raising his average to .438.
One at-bat in particular stood out: Varsho's in the fourth against Erick Fedde (1-1).
Varsho saw 11 pitches in all, fouling off eight, before sending an 89 mph cutter over the wall.
“You can just tell by (his) body language,” Varsho said about Fedde. “He was getting a little frustrated that I was wasn't kind of swinging and missing or just putting the ball in play.”
Beer said that was “uplifting” to the team.
“In the dugout, when you see a guy compete in an at-bat like that and not give in — that’s kind of what we’re going for.”
Fedde's take: "I showed him every pitch I have."
The right-hander's evening ended one single later. His line: 3 1/3 innings, six unearned runs.
The Diamondbacks’ 10 hits were spread out, with at least one apiece for seven of the nine players in the starting lineup.
“They didn’t swing and miss," Nationals manager Dave Martinez said.
It was 4-0 after the third, 8-0 after the fourth, 11-0 after the fifth.
“We knew that with the grind upon us ... that something like this was going to take place,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said, “and we were going to find our way into a big night.”
The output was far more than Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly (1-0) needed. The right-hander went six innings, giving up one run and a half-dozen hits. He hadn’t allowed a run in 9 1/3 innings over his other two starts this season and his ERA is 0.59.
“Everybody came out with great energy tonight,” Kelly said. “It was a lot of fun, just being in the dugout.”
BEER'S DAY
Beer's father, Mike — “Big Mike,” the son said with a smile — lives in Atlanta and was on a business trip about a 1 1/2-hour drive away from D.C., so he made the trip to be at the ballpark.
“Just to look up in the crowd ... and I saw him, just with the biggest grin on his face — that’s what it’s all about,” Seth Beer said. “He followed this dream for me for a long, long time and to kind of live in the moment with him was awesome.”
CAPITOL EVACUATION
The U.S. Capitol, a little more than a mile from the ballpark, briefly was evacuated shortly before the game because police said an aircraft posed “a probable threat” — but it turned out the plane was carrying members of the U.S. Army Golden Knights, who parachuted into Nationals Park as part of Military Appreciation Night.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Nationals: 1B Josh Bell left after the third inning because his left knee “tightened up,” he said. He'll have an MRI exam on Thursday. ... LHP Sean Doolittle went on the 10-day IL with a sprained left elbow. The 35-year-old Doolittle felt sore during an appearance Tuesday.
UP NEXT
In Thursday's series finale, Washington LHP Josh Rogers (1-1, 3.72 ERA) faces Arizona RHP Zach Davies (0-1, 5.79).

ISLAMABAD (APP): The Supreme Court on Wednesday adjourned hearing on Presidential reference seeking its opinion on Article 63-A of the Constitution till Thursday.
A five-member larger bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justic Umar Ata Bandial and comprising Justice Ijaz Ul Ahsan, Justice Muneeb Akhtar, Justice Mazhar Alam Khan Miankhel and Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhel heard the Presidential reference.
During the course of proceedings, Advocate Farooq H Naek counsel for the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) said that Article 58-(2)-B was abrogated in 1997 through the 13th Amendment but was brought back by former President Pervez Musharraf through Legal Framework Order (LFO) 2002. He said that the the Pakistan People Party (PPP) again removed Article 58-(2)-B through the 18th Constitutional Amendment in 2010.
Naek said that the Article 63-A was made a part of the Constitution through the 14th Amendment and it gave broad powers to party heads.
He said that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) did have not have the authority to reject the party head’s decision prior to a presidential order amending Article 63-A in 2002 that reduced the powers of party heads.
He said that the 18th Amendment further reduced the powers of party heads and transferred them to the parliamentary leaders of the parties and after the amendment in Article 63-A, the authority to make the final decision was given to the Supreme Court.
Naek said that according to the 18th Amendment, the authority to make a decision on a reference related to Article 63-A was given to the ECP. The amendment also bound the ECP to announce a decision within a month, he added.
He said that the presidential reference seeking the court’s opinion was only related to sub-clause 4 of Article 63-A.
Justice Ijaz Ul Ahsan pointed out that Article 62(1)(f) did not specify the length of disqualification but its interpretation was provided by the apex court.
Naek responded that Parliament had not determined the length of disqualification for defecting lawmakers under Article 63-A.
The Chief Justice said that Article 63-A made loyalty conditional on party policy on four occasions and loyalty was a basic constitutional principle. The purpose of Article 63A was to ensure loyalty to the party, he added.
Justice Ijaz said that ticket holders swear in their nomination papers that they would not deviate from party policy.
Naek said that the rules for punishing a party worker for violating party discipline were underlined in A-rticle 63-A. He said whet-her it was dishonesty or disloyalty, the consequences of both were underlined in the Constitution.
He said that a dissident party member would effectively lose his seat.
Justice Munib Akhtar said that not abiding by one’s oath amounted to dishonesty. He said that a dissident membrmer was elected on a ticket from a particular political party.
He said that deviation from the party had been called a cancer.
The Chief Justice said that during the attorney general’s arguments, the court was told that Article 63-A was related to loyalty.
He said Article 5 stated that every party member should be loyal to the state. He said that disqualification was a minor matter.
He said that the basic purpose of Article 63-A was to ensure loyalty to the party. When a member stated he was part of a particular party in his oath, that meant he was bound by the party policy, he added.
Naek said that a party worker was not a slave that he would listen to all directives.
Upon this, Justice Ahsan asked whether government employees would be considered slaves. All parties had some rules and regulations which must be followed.
Justice Ijaz said that Articles related to the qualification and disqualification of a lawmaker were not a wall of fire.
Naek said that loyalty only existed within the monarchy. He said that the people should be allowed to decide who to elect.
Justice Ijaz then asked whether Articles 62 and 63 should be removed from the Constitution.
Justice Mandokhail said that a big punishment such as disqualification could not be handed down without a trial.
He said that an independent candidate who joined the party after winning did not take an oath swearing allegiance to the party.
Naek said that no party member took an oath to obey all the directives of the party chief.
Justice Ijaz said that political parties were the backbone of the parliamentary system.
He asked how could the system be run where the backbone was plagued by cancer?Naek said dissident members were de-seated but not disqualified.
The chief justice observed that Article 63-A had been invoked in only one instance since 1998 which meant that it was not taken seriously by party heads. He said why defecting lawmakers were later welcomed back to the party’s folds. The reason was the flexibility in politics, he added.
Naek responded that rigidity in politics led to chaos.
Justice Munib asked Naek whether a lawmaker who had been de-seated could contest by-elections to which the counsel replied in the affirmative and said that the punishment for someone who deviated was that he was de-seated.
Justice Ijaz asked Naek whether disloyalty was not dishonesty? He asked whether a lawmaker could be disqualified over dishonesty.
Naek replied that disloyalty was a strong word and it was not mentioned in Article 63-A.
The Chief Justice said if a person was disqualified for dishonesty, he was also disqualified for the next election.
After completion of arguments by Advocate Farooq H Naek, Advocate General of Sindh Salman Talibuddin said that lawmakers who sold their votes for money could be asked to resign.
He said that the court was being unnecessarily dragged into politics. He said that Article 63-A was a step towards mature democracy.
After the arguments of Advocate General Sindh, the Chief Justice asked whether Babar Awan would give arguments.
Ali Zaffar said that Babar Awan would raise some points on the constitutional petition.
The Chief Justice said that while deciding on a case related to Article 63-A, the court could ask several questions. He said that the court could asked whether a vote been cast against party lines or had the lawmaker deviated from party policies?
He further asked could the court determine anything if a vote was casted against party lines.
Advocate Raza Rabbani said that he would answer these questions of the court tomorrow (Thursday). | https://thefrontierpost.com/supreme-court-seeks-interpretation-of-article-63-a/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=supreme-court-seeks-interpretation-of-article-63-a | 2022-04-21T04:06:16Z | https://thefrontierpost.com/supreme-court-seeks-interpretation-of-article-63-a/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=supreme-court-seeks-interpretation-of-article-63-a | false | 1 |
Jay Wright resigns as Villanova basketball coach, Neptune takes over
Jay Wright shocked college basketball Wednesday night with his immediate resignation at Villanova, the Big East program he led to two national championships and four Final Fours in a Hall of Fame career.
The 60-year-old Wright guided Villanova to titles in 2016 and 2018 and just led the Wildcats to the Final Four, where they lost to national champion Kansas. He went 520-197 in 21 seasons at the school and 642-282 overall, also coaching Hofstra from 1994–2001.
"It's time for us to enter a new era of Villanova basketball," Wright said in a statement. "After 35 years in coaching, I am proud and excited to hand over the reins to Villanova's next coach. I am excited to remain a part of Villanova and look forward to working with (Villanova) and the rest of the leadership team."
Kyle Neptune, who served on the Villanova coaching staff before accepting the head coaching position at Fordham in 2021, returned to replace Wright.
"When looking for a successor, we wanted a candidate who could navigate the changing landscape of collegiate athletics and keep Villanova in a position of strength — now and in the future," Villanova athletic director Mark Jackson said. "After meeting with several exceptional candidates, we found all those attributes and more in Kyle Neptune. Kyle quickly stood out for his basketball knowledge, recruiting savvy and natural ability to connect with student-athletes and coaches."
Wright's decision was unexpected and there was no immediate word the move was health-related or that he was leaving for the NBA. He was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021.
Wright will remain at Villanova and stay involved in fundraising, advising, education and more.
He joined North Carolina's Roy Williams and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski as the third coach with multiple championships to step down over the last two years.
Before he arrived, Villanova was known for upsetting Georgetown in the 1985 national championship game and the occasional trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Wright needed three years to build a foundation before Villanova broke through with a trip to the 2005 Sweet 16. An Elite Eight appearance followed the next year and the Wildcats reached the Final Four in 2009.
Villanova won its first national title under Wright in 2016 on Kris Jenkins' buzzer-beater and decimated the NCAA Tournament field in 2018, winning every game by double digits on its way to the national title.
He was selected AP coach of the decade in 2020.
The 37-year-old Neptune was on Wright's staff for the 2009 Final Four team. He went 16-16 in his lone season at Fordham.
"I am proud and excited to hand over the reins to a member of our basketball family, Kyle Neptune. I am excited to remain a part of Villanova," Wright said.
Wright's decision comes after another successful season:
— He reached 25 or more victories for the 10th time in his 22 seasons.
— The Wildcats have won a regular-season or postseason conference championship in each of the nine seasons since the Big East reconfigured in 2013.
— The Wildcats earned a No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the eighth time under Wright.
During Wright's tenure, he coached several future NBA stars, including Kyle Lowry, Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, and Saddiq Bey.
"Ohhhhhhh thats tough !!! @kyleneptune WELL DESERVED," Bridges, now a star with the Phoenix Suns, tweeted.
Wright was hired as head coach at Hofstra and went 207-122 with two NCAA Tournament appearances in seven seasons. Hired in 2001 to replace Steve Lappas, the Wildcats went to the NIT in Wright's first three seasons.
"Simply a remarkable career," said former Villanova AD Vince Nicastro, who hired Wright. "Will be regarded as one of the best coaches in college basketball history - and even better person. Has won with integrity, class and grace. And has served as a great role model for his players and colleagues."
The Wildcats finished 30-8 this season and Wright's final game was an 81-65 loss to Kansas in the Final Four.
Wright, a Churchville, Pennsylvania native, played college basketball at Bucknell and started as an assistant at Rochester and Drexel. He spent five seasons at Villanova as Rollie Massimino's assistant, then followed him to UNLV for another two years before taking the head coaching job at Hofstra in 1994.
He rejected numerous NBA and other college overtures through the years and remained steadfast in his dedication to the Wildcats. Wright had stints coaching teams in the Pan American Games and World University Games; and served as an assistant coach under San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich for Team USA.
Wright was scheduled to discuss his decision at a press conference on Friday. | https://www.wtae.com/article/wright-resigns-villanova-basketball-coach-neptune-takes-over/39778787 | 2022-04-21T04:08:55Z | https://www.wtae.com/article/wright-resigns-villanova-basketball-coach-neptune-takes-over/39778787 | true | 45 |

NEW YORK: The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell on Wednesday as streaming giant Netflix slumped after shedding subscribers for the first time in a decade, dragging down shares of high-growth companies set to report results.
The benchmark S&P 500 and the blue-chip Dow, however, stayed buoyant on the back of upbeat earnings from consumer giant Procter & Gamble and IT firm IBM Corp.
Netflix Inc plunged 36.6%, set for its worst day since October 2004, after it blamed inflation, the Ukraine war and fierce competition for the subscriber loss and predicted deeper losses ahead.
Streaming peers Walt Disney, Roku and Warner Bros Discovery dropped between 4.6% and 6%, while megacap stocks such as Amazon.com Inc, Tesla Inc and Meta Platforms Inc declined 2.6% to 7.3%.
“The Netflixes of the world, the Pelotons of the world are looked at with more scepticism as the market questions the success they have from a fundamental standpoint during the pandemic,” said Keith Buchanan, senior portfolio manager at Globalt Investments in Atlanta.
“But the rest of the market space, more value and small cap oriented industries are holding up better than the tech space.” Market-leading technology and growth stocks have suffered this year as investors worry that rising interest rates will dent their future earnings. The Nasdaq is down nearly 14% so far this year, while the benchmark S&P 500 is down 6.1%.
The communication services sector declined 3.9% on Wednesday, leading losses among the 11 major S&P 500 sectors. Overall, the earnings season has started on a strong note. Of the 60 companies in the S&P 500 index that have reported results so far, 80% exceeded profit expectations, as per Refinitiv data. Typically, 66% beat estimates.
Procter & Gamble gained 2.6% after raising its annual sales view and IBM Corp jumped 7.5% as it forecast hitting the top end of its 2022 revenue growth estimate.
At 12:19 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 293.63 points, or 0.84%, at 35,204.83, the S&P 500 was up 4.08 points, or 0.09%, at 4,466.29, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 155.16 points, or 1.14%, at 13,464.50.
The yield on 10-year Treasury note receded to 2.87% after a blistering rally that pushed it close to the key 3% level earlier in the session.
Investors will focus on the Federal Reserve’s “Beige Book” on economic conditions from late February to early April for further details on the monetary policy tightening plans.
United Airlines Holdings Inc gained 1.3% ahead of its results. The S&P 1500 Airlines index has risen for six of the past seven sessions, getting a boost from news that the Biden administration was dropping mask mandate on public transportation.
Tesla Inc fell 4.4% ahead of its first-quarter results after the closing bell. Investors will keep an eye on whether the electric automaker maintains its ambitious 2022 delivery target as its biggest factory in Shanghai grapples with a COVID-19 shutdown and new plants slowly ramp up output.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 2.19-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 1.13-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
The S&P index recorded 64 new 52-week highs and 3 new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 71 new highs and 128 new lows. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40168480/nasdaq-slides-after-bleak-netflix-results | 2022-04-21T04:23:55Z | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40168480/nasdaq-slides-after-bleak-netflix-results | false | 5 |
Powerball continued its 30th birthday week Wednesday night with a $372.8 million jackpot. That number is going up to an estimated $400 million for Saturday's drawing after no tickets sold had all the winning numbers.
But one person is $2 million richer -- before taxes, that is.
The winning numbers Wednesday were 20-30-45-55-56 and the Powerball was 14. The Power Play was 2x.
One $2 million ticket was sold in New Jersey, matching all five white numbers plus the Power Play. Nobody had a $1 million ticket.
Winning tickets have been sold for two jackpots this year prior to Wednesday's drawing. Two tickets sold in California and Wisconsin shared $632.6 million in January and one ticket in Connecticut won $185.3 million.
Tuesday marked 30 years since the first tickets for Powerball were sold. Friday will be the 30th anniversary of the first drawing. Powerball said the game has given out 1.75 billion prizes since its launch in 1992, including:
- 393 jackpot winning tickets
- 470 tickets winning $2 million
- 2,424 tickets winning $1 million
- $25 billion in jackpots
- $23 billion in lower-tier cash prizes
- Raised $27 billion to help fund public services and programs
The largest Powerball jackpot in history, which is also the largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever, was $1.586 billion split between three tickets in California, Florida and Tennessee in 2016.
Indiana has the most jackpot-winning tickets sold with 39. Maine, Mississippi, North Dakota, Vermont, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Wyoming have never had a jackpot-winning ticket sold.
The overall odds of winning any Powerball prize are 1 in 24.9. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
Powerball is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
Friday's drawing for Mega Millions, the other big multi-state lottery, is estimated at $22 million. | https://www.whas11.com/article/news/nation-world/powerball-winning-numbers-april-20-2022/507-9e9f989a-72c0-41e3-ac8c-10449dd34ced | 2022-04-21T04:24:31Z | https://www.whas11.com/article/news/nation-world/powerball-winning-numbers-april-20-2022/507-9e9f989a-72c0-41e3-ac8c-10449dd34ced | true | 13 |
Every semester, the Montclair State University Players put on a varied slate of productions. This includes a musical the students perform near the end of spring. This semester, the Players are coming together to put on the classic musical, “Grease.”
Set in the late 1950s, the story takes place during the senior year of two high school gangs, the Burger Palace Boys and the Pink Ladies. It mainly centers around the challenges faced by the leader of the Burger Palace Boys, Danny Zuko, and potential new Pink Lady, sweet, new girl Sandy Dumbrowski, as their summer love comes to a head.
In the director’s chair is third-year political science major JC DeMaria with junior family science and human development major Angela Rose Massa serving as his assistant director. The two have worked together on previous productions, but this is Massa’s first time on the production team for a Players show.
“Getting to assistant direct for [DeMaria] and this production has been such a lovely experience,” Massa said. “I’m so delighted I get to share his last Players production before he graduates a year early.”
The show features a large cast of students across the various majors the university offers, all of whom are ecstatic to be a part of the show.
This is the first musical for sophomore theatre studies major Gabe Michelson, who plays Danny. He said learning to sing was an exciting challenge for him.
“This is my first ever musical, so even approaching the audition I was shaking thinking about it,” Michelson said. “But I knew if I practiced it I would be proud of myself that I tried. And now, I’m here. It’s insane.”
Michelson found the differences between Danny and himself aided in the rehearsal process.
“I love the chance that I get to become a different person entirely,” Michelson said. “I love how bold he is with the people around him; how he never is afraid and oozes confidence.”
Michelson’s co-star is senior family science and human development major Corinne Podolski, who plays Sandy.
Podolski has a connection to the musical and her part, having previously portrayed Sandy during her senior year of high school.
“I just love Sandy’s sweetness and how she turns in the end,” Podolski said. “I think it’s really cool for girls to see [her development].”
Plenty of cast members are excited to continue working in person after the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic put such productions to a halt, such as Zoe LeRose, a junior theatre studies major who plays Patty Simcox.
She finds her character, a peppy cheerleader, a nice switch-up after playing Elizabeth Proctor in “The Crucible.”
“It’s kind of a mental break because it isn’t such a serious character,” LeRose said.
Many cast members find the appeal of “Grease“ comes from the nostalgia of the 1950s, the campiness of the script and the memorable tunes.
Ethan Russo, a junior filmmaking major who plays Sonny LaTierri, feels the show came at the right time having debuted in the 1970s.
“Not only did it come out when nostalgia for the 1950s was at its peak,” Russo said. “I think the entire soundtrack feels nostalgic, even to people who weren’t born in the ’50s.”
Summer Alfonso, a sophomore communication major who plays Marty Maraschino, shares this sentiment.
“[‘Grease’ is] one of those stories that resonate with people throughout generations,” Alfonso said.
Whitney Daniels, a freshman theatre studies major in the ensemble, thinks each new production of “Grease” puts a new spin on an old tale.
“I think the music and all of the actors involved make it so iconic every single time it is done,” Daniels said.
Natalya “Artemys” Kozlovski, a freshman animation major who plays Johnny Casino, admires the songs.
“They’re very catchy and easy to memorize,” Kozlovski said. “So, I feel like anybody can get into them, even if you don’t like musicals.”
Montclair State Players’ production of “Grease” hits the Red Hawk Nest on April 22 at 8 p.m., April 23 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. and April 24 at 3 p.m. All four shows are currently sold out. | https://themontclarion.org/entertainment/grease-is-the-word-for-montclair-state-players/ | 2022-04-21T04:25:03Z | https://themontclarion.org/entertainment/grease-is-the-word-for-montclair-state-players/ | false | 1 |
Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, has warned judges in the country to shy away from unmerited wealth so as not to run foul of the law that may put them into trouble.
Justice Muhammad said as judicial officers, judges must shun vainglory, dishonest disposition and ostentatious lifestyle borne out of corrupt acquaintances.
The CJN gave the warning at the inauguration of six judges for the Federal High Court of Nigeria and one for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) high court.
He said the National Judicial Council (NJC) will never rest in its efforts to fish out the bad eggs within the judiciary and show them the way out.
Justice Muhammad said that corrupt judges can only run but will not have the capacity to hide from the long arm of the disciplinary apparatuses of the NJC.
“As I always say, appointment to the bench is not appointment to affluence, influence or unholy alliance with people of questionable character that may appear before you in different guises and make you do what is offensive to the law.
“You must shun unmerited wealth, dishonest disposition and never should you engage in any act that may make you regret ever being a judicial officer,” he warned judicial officers.
The CJN said that though judges are not known to possess supernatural powers to perform wonders; however, he urged the new judges to be prepared for demands from society to do the impossible.
Justice Muhammad urged the new judges to be ready to hear more demands especially during 2023 general elections, adding that though he rejoiced with them, he also sympathised with them for the trouble, inconveniences and all sorts of uncomplimentary remarks that may be made against them by litigants in the course of their work.
“We are all humans, no doubt, but you must display the humanism in you by doing those extraordinary things that people would say you cannot do.
That is what distinguishes those with integrity and passion for success from those with unenviable pedigree and dysfunctional moral compass,” he said.
The CJN counselled the new judges to allow their oath of office to occupy an important place in their hearts and be rightly applied in their adjudications.
“This is a bond that you should engrave in your heart and it should serve as a moral compass while adjudicating in all matters that come before you.
“You must not derail from the revered path of impartiality, fairness and equity. We don’t need any soothsayer to tell us that the times are quite perilous and ominous,” he advised the new judges.
The CJN further said that the present situation of Nigeria, seriously need judicial officers with the right character and who are honest, objective, dispassionate and humble, adding that the appointment of the new judges was not by accident but by the divine will of God and must, therefore, be led by wisdom and guided by their conscience.
The new judges are Emmanuel Gakko, Musa Sulaiman Liman, Segun-Bello Mabel Taiye, Bala Khalifa-Mohammed Usman, Ahmad Gama Mahmud, Aminu Garba of the Federal High Court and Joseph Adebayo Aina of the FCT High Court. | https://leadership.ng/again-cjn-warns-judges-against-corrupt-practices-showy-lifestyle/ | 2022-04-21T04:25:10Z | https://leadership.ng/again-cjn-warns-judges-against-corrupt-practices-showy-lifestyle/ | false | 5 |

The death of gospel singer and artiste, Osinachi Nwachukwu, recently, has once again brought the issue of domestic violence to the fore. We recall that some of her friends alleged that her husband, Peter, maltreated and assaulted her several times before she died. From various eyewitness accounts, it was obvious she was a victim of domestic violence perpetrated by her husband.
Her death has generated national outrage with the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan mandating the police and other relevant law enforcement agencies to investigate the sad incident. Lawan said that the life of every Nigerian citizen mattered and must be accounted for by security agencies and relevant authorities where death occurs.
The Minister of Women Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen, on her part, vowed to get justice for the late popular gospel artiste. The minister noted that with the singer’s death, “it is now truly obvious that violence knows no class or creed”. It is instructive to note that the husband has been arrested by the police in connection with her death.
Sadly, there has been an upsurge in cases of domestic violence in Nigeria. The CLEEN Foundation reports that one in every three respondents admits to being a victim of domestic violence. Lagos State Government had said it recorded a total of 10,007 reported cases of domestic violence, including sexual abuse, perpetrated against adults and children between May 2019 and August 26, 2021.
Also, the United Nations Women report disclosed that 48 percent of Nigerian women have experienced at least one form of violence since the COVID-19 pandemic. Verbal abuse and denial of basic resources were the most common forms of Violence Against Women (VAW) reported (23 percent) since the pandemic began; along with denial of communication (21 percent) although these may have been the results of measures taken to limit the spread of the pandemic, such as lockdowns, curfews, and social distancing. Similarly, 16 percent reported sexual harassment and 15 percent reported physical abuse,” the report said.
Exposure to violence was highest among women in Kenya (80 per cent), Morocco (69 per cent), Jordan (49 per cent), and Nigeria (48 per cent). Domestic violence takes many forms, including: physical, sexual, emotional, and mental. Traditionally, domestic violence is committed against females. Common forms of violence against women in Nigeria are rape, acid attacks, molestation, wife-beating, and corporal punishment.
We recall that Nigeria passed the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Act criminalising all types of violence against persons, and offering protection and remedies for victims in 2015. However, as of June 2020, only 18 states out of the 36 had domesticated the VAPP Act by 2021.
However, it is gratifying to note that in 2020, the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) had declared a state of emergency on the increasing rate of sexual and gender-based violence in the country. Yet, the figures don’t seem to be abating. Shockingly, the National Human Rights Commission recently claimed to have received over 1.7 million sexual and gender-based violence complaints in 2021.
In the considered opinion of this newspaper, religious bodies and security agencies contribute significantly to the rising cases of domestic violence. In the case of the church, women are often advised to stay in their marriages and make it work, irrespective of the abuse they are passing through. This has to stop. Also, most women stay in abusive marriages because they are told the church frowns at divorce and there is still a stigma associated with single mothers in the society.
We also observe that the police have failed in its responsibility regarding issues of domestic violence. Most times, cases of domestic violence reported to the police are dismissed as family matters that the parties involved can sort out themselves.
In our opinion, no one should stay in an abusive marriage because of societal or family pressures. Similarly, religious leaders should limit their involvement in marital affairs as such advice which Osinachi heeded could have contributed to the circumstances that led to her untimely death. Counseling married couples should be the responsibility of certified marriage counselors.
To be sure, women are not only the victims of domestic violence as there are reported cases of men who have suffered abuse from their wives. From the foregoing, we call on religious bodies to do more on cases involving domestic abuse. We insist a separation or even divorce should be options when it is a matter of life and death. Religious bodies must encourage people to speak up. We need to break the culture of silence.
Consequently, we call for a speedy trial in the case of the late gospel singer. This will serve as a deterrent to future offenders. There is a need for stiffer punishment for perpetrators of domestic abuse. Furthermore, we appeal to couples to communicate more, seek counseling, and help with anger issues. | https://leadership.ng/taming-domestic-violence/ | 2022-04-21T04:26:14Z | https://leadership.ng/taming-domestic-violence/ | true | 1 |
Premier Daniel Andrews is keen to dump the last vestiges of Victoria's COVID-19 restrictions within months, as the state government defends the retention of worker vaccine mandates.
Victoria's pandemic declaration was extended by three months to July 12, allowing for the ongoing enforcement of COVID-19 measures such as mask and vaccine mandates.
Although the declaration is due to expire in the middle of winter, Mr Andrews is open to the possibility of letting it lapse.
"I don't know what independent advice I'm going to get in the days leading up to the 12th of July. It's my hope that we don't need that (pandemic declaration)," he told reporters on Thursday.
"Or we need something less than that or we need some other arrangement. That would be terrific.
"I made it really clear to every Victorian if you got vaccinated, then we would have more options. We'd be able to get rid of these rules. That's exactly what we're doing."
The Andrews government has green lit sweeping changes to restrictions, including scrapping compulsory seven-day isolation for close contacts, mandatory indoor masks for grade 3 to 6 students and its controversial "vaccinated economy".
Under the easing rules, patrons will no longer have to prove their vaccination status or check in when entering pubs, restaurants, movie theatres and sports venues from 11.59pm on Friday.
However, existing double- and triple-dose requirements remain for workers in hospitality, office, construction, healthcare, food distribution, police, emergency service and education settings.
It means unvaccinated Victorians will be able to drink a beer at a pub but not pour one.
Health Minister Martin Foley has not acted on a recommendation from Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton to move away from vaccine mandates in favour of workplaces setting their own policies.
He defended the retention of the workforce vaccine mandates for now, crediting them for driving up vaccination rates.
"The position I've adopted is to recognise the hard work that Victorians have taken, keep the vaccine arrangements in place ... and review them in the coming weeks and months ahead," Mr Foley told ABC TV on Thursday.
Opposition Leader Matthew Guy called on the state government to set an official date for the end of the pandemic declaration and scrap vaccine mandates for hospitality and construction workers.
"There is a great understanding from the community that in high-risk settings we'll have different rules ... but in most settings we've just got to move on," he said.
Victoria recorded 10,674 new COVID-19 cases and 11 deaths on Thursday. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/coronavirus/vic-premier-keen-to-scrap-last-covid-rules-c-6520524 | 2022-04-21T04:31:01Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/coronavirus/vic-premier-keen-to-scrap-last-covid-rules-c-6520524 | true | 5 |

BOSTON (AP) — Kyrie Irving behaved himself.
He just didn’t play very well.
One day after he was fined for cursing at Boston fans and giving them the finger, the Nets point guard managed just 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting Wednesday night in Brooklyn’s 114-107 loss to the Celtics.
Irving and Kevin Durant combined to make 1 of 17 shots in the second half, when the Nets blew what had been a 17-point lead to fall behind 2-0 in the best-of-seven series.
“It’s no time for me to look at my individual stats,” said Irving, who scored 39 points in Game 1. “We don’t really have time to be disappointed, to hold our heads. This is part of playoff basketball.”
A seven-time All-Star who spent two years with the Celtics, Irving earned the enmity of the Boston fans when he vowed to finish his career in green — only to opt out of his contract and become a free agent.
During his three seasons in Brooklyn, he has been the most hated opponent at the TD Garden; after a Celtics loss in the playoffs last year, a fan threw a water bottle at him as he left the court.
But it was Irving who crossed the line on Sunday, when he flashed an obscene gesture and tossed some obscene language at Boston fans who were riding him. The NBA fined him $50,000.
On Wednesday, Irving received the reception he is accustomed to. He was jeered during introductions, and the boos when he received the opening tip only stopped to make way for a more vulgar chant.
But unlike Game 1, when he was the leading scorer in what would have been a Nets victory if not for Jayson Tatum’s buzzer-beating layup, Irving struggled on Wednesday night.
The former Celtic and Cavalier shot 1 for 7 in the second half; it was the fifth time in 72 career postseason games he has failed to score at least 11 points.
“We just didn’t have a great shooting half in the second half,” Nets coach Steve Nash said. “I wouldn’t want to single out Kyrie. He had 39 last time out. He can’t get 39 every night.”
Durant also struggled, shooting 4 of 17 and missing all 10 shots he took in the second half. He finished with 27 points — thanks to 18 of 20 from the free throw line; in last year’s playoffs he averaged 42 points following a loss.
Durant also had committed a game-high six turnovers.
“I’m going to turn the ball over and I’m going to shoot the ball a lot in the playoffs. I’m going to be aggressive throughout this series,” he said. “They’re doing a good job trying to cut off my scoring, limit my shot-making. They’re doing a good job. It’s on me to figure it out.” | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/sports/article/Boston-fans-don-t-get-to-Irving-Celtics-defense-17115663.php | 2022-04-21T04:50:46Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/sports/article/Boston-fans-don-t-get-to-Irving-Celtics-defense-17115663.php | true | 15 |

'A difficult time': why popular TV series Pachinko was met with silence in Japan
Experiences of zainichi, brought over as labourers, highlights bitter historical legacy between South Korea and Japan that still lingers
The eight-part drama, currently streaming on Apple TV+, evokes the universal migrant experience, but it is also an uncomfortable reminder of the bitter historical legacy of Japan’s colonial rule over the Korean peninsula.
The story of a family who leave Busan in South Korea for Osaka’s Korean quarter in the early 20th century, Pachinko’s narrative draws on the real-life experiences of the zainichi, the name for people of Korean descent who form one of Japan’s biggest ethnic minorities.
Kang Mijija’s family moved to Japan after the second world war, and encountered a country that offered opportunity, but at a price. As immigrants hailing from the Korean peninsula – freed from 35 years of Japanese colonial rule at the end of the second world war – they were easy targets for locals who despised their new neighbours.
“People threw water and even stones at my aunties,” Kang, a second-generation zainichi, told the Guardian at a café in Tsuruhashi, an Osaka neighbourhood with a large ethnic Korean community. “That was a really difficult time. Now we live in a grey zone … those extremes have gone, but there is still systemic discrimination and hate speech.”
Kang’s parents were first-generation zainichi – Japan’s 430,000-strong Korean diaspora, many of them the descendants of people forcibly brought to Japan as labourers before and during the second world war.
Just as Pachinko – named after the pinball-like gaming machine that has given many ethnic Koreans a livelihood– appeared last month, audiences in Japan were confronted with another chapter in their country’s troubled relationship with its neighbour. ...continue reading

“Let The Good Times Grow,” is the theme for the 102nd annual Tehama District Fair, which opens Thursday, April 28 and runs through May 1.
The fair's grand opening will be 4 p.m. on Thursday, April 28, along with the start of the carnival, entertainment and exhibits. However, fair-goers don't have to wait until then to start their fun as the gates will open at 8 a.m. for Tehama Junior Livestock activities.
One of the fair highlights will be the 2022 Miss Tehama Scholarship Pageant and the Little Miss Pageant featuring contestants from throughout the county.
The event takes place at 4:30 p.m. April 28 the Tehama District Fair's midway stage.
Several Corning area residents are participating in this year's fair as Independent, FFA and 4-H members showing and selling livestock, in the destruction derby, and art, craft, flower and other exhibitions.
Bob Safford, agriculture teacher and FFA adviser at Corning High, said the chapter has members who are showing steers, heifers, swine, and lambs next week and will be ready to sell those animals during the April 30 Tehama Junior Livestock Auction, which starts at 8 a.m. in the Don Smith Pavilion.
"We have a really good group from the high school showing their animals and selling them Saturday at the Tehama Junior Livestock Auction," Safford stated. "I expect we should do really well."
There are also 4-H members from Corning clubs, as well as independent handlers, showing and selling their livestock projects next week as well.
Last year's total amount for the Junior Livestock Auction was record-setting $1,093,889.73 and the auction's committee is hoping to match or do even better for the youth handlers this year.
Along with the animals, there are many other attractions for attendees to look forward to, such as daily Petting Zoo, Stilt Circus, Pacific Animal Productions, Makerspace, stunt dog show and hypnotist.
This year's live, musical entertainment will be Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis, Lance Michael Cornwell Band, Huckleberry Road, Mark McAbee, Clearcut and Chad Busnell. See the Fair's online site for times and locations.
New to the fair is the Arm Wrestling Contest and Power Wheels Derby, and back for more fun is the Destruction Derby.
Other daily features include the unique offerings of “fair-food” from vendors booths, such as corndogs, funnel cakes, lemonade, pretzels, hamburgers and much more.
Of course, what is a fair without carnival rides to scare the bravest and bring smiles to the youngsters. The carnival is also the place to win a stuffed animal or some other treasure at the game booths.
The 30th District Agricultural Association hosts and organizes the Tehama District Fair which was first held in 1921. “Through the years the dates of the fair and name of the fair have changed, but our commitment to showcasing local agricultural products and bringing our community together has remained,” states the association, currently consisting of President Shanna Long, Vice President Pete Dagorret and directors Joan Kaiser-Bell, Linda Durer, Andrew Meredith, Jorge Lomeli, Farrell Shatswell, and Mark Mulliner.,

WASHINGTON (AP) — One year ago, Joe Biden marked his first Earth Day as president by convening world leaders for a virtual summit on global warming that even Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping attended. Biden used the moment to nearly double the United States' goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, vaulting the country to the front lines in the fight against climate change.
But the months since then have been marred by setbacks. Biden's most sweeping proposals remain stalled on Capitol Hill despite renewed warnings from scientists that the world is hurtling toward a dangerous future marked by extreme heat, drought and weather.
In addition, the war in Ukraine has reshuffled the politics of climate change, leading Biden to release oil from the nation's strategic reserve and encourage more drilling in hopes of lowering sky-high gas prices that are emptying American wallets.
It's a far cry from the sprint toward clean energy that Biden — and his supporters — envisioned when he took office. Although Biden is raising fuel economy standards for vehicles and included green policies in last year's bipartisan infrastructure legislation, the lack of greater progress casts a shadow over his second Earth Day as president.
Biden will mark the moment in Seattle on Friday, where he'll be joined by Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat with a national reputation for climate action. Biden also is scheduled to visit Portland on Thursday as part of a swing through the Pacific Northwest, a region that has often been on the forefront of environmental efforts.
Administration officials defend Biden's record on global warming while saying that more work is needed.
“Two things can be true at the same time," said Ali Zaidi, the president's deputy national climate adviser. "We can have accomplished a lot, and have a long way to go.”
Zaidi acknowledged that “we have headwinds, we have challenges,” but also said the president has “a mandate to drive action forward on this.”
Kyle Tisdel, climate and energy program director with the Western Environmental Law Center, said Biden has not lived up to the promise of last year's Earth Day summit.
“Climate action was a pillar of President Biden’s campaign, and his promises on this existential issue were a major reason the public elected him,″ Tisdel said. ”Achieving results on climate is not a matter of domestic politics, it’s life and death.”
Biden had hoped to pass a $1.75 trillion plan for expanding education programs, social services and environmental policies. But Republicans opposed the legislation, known as Build Back Better, and it failed to get the unanimous support necessary from Democrats holding a slim majority in the Senate.
The final blow came from Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who owes his personal fortune to coal and represents a state that defines itself in large part through mining that fossil fuel. Democrats hope to revive the bill in some form, but it's unclear exactly what Manchin would support, putting any possible deal in jeopardy.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said this week that negotiations were ongoing even though Biden wasn’t publicizing them. “Just because he’s not talking about it doesn’t mean those conversations are not happening behind the scenes,” she said.
Administration officials are expected to speak Saturday at a rally outside the White House as climate, labor and social justice groups urge Congress to pass climate legislation before Memorial Day. Similar events are planned in dozens of cities as activists stress the need for major investments to boost clean energy and create jobs.
The White House wants to win approval for more than $300 billion in tax credits for clean energy that advocates describe as crucial for meeting Biden's goal of reducing emissions by up to 52% from 2005 levels by 2030.
Without the tax credits, “I don't see a pathway,” said Nat Keohane, a former Obama energy adviser who is now president of the independent Center for Climate and Energy Solutions. Reaching the midterm elections in November without them “would amount to a failure on the promise of the first year,'' he said.
Asked if Biden's goal of reducing emissions is still achievable, Psaki said, "We are continuing to pursue it, and we are going to continue to do everything we can to reach it.”
Psaki noted that the $1 trillion infrastructure law includes an array of climate policies, including funding for the construction of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations. However, an analysis by the consultancy McKinsey estimates that nearly 30 million chargers are needed by 2030.
The Ukraine war has worsened the political challenges at home by sending shockwaves through global energy markets and increasing gas prices.
It's also caused Biden to change his tune on oil drilling. Last week, Biden moved forward with the first onshore sales of oil and gas drilling leases on public land, a move that environmental groups blasted even though the administration said it was only doing so under a court order.
Although the legal battle is ongoing, in the meantime Biden is encouraging new domestic production.
"The bottom line is if we want lower gas prices we need to have more oil supply right now,” Biden said in March.
The leasing plan "is an ugly betrayal of Joe Biden’s campaign promises and his administration’s rhetoric on environmental justice and climate action,″ said Collin Rees, U.S. political director at Oil Change International.
“Biden is choosing to stand with polluters over people at the expense of frontline communities and the future of the planet," he added.
The war in Ukraine has also frustrated diplomatic efforts to address climate change.
John Kerry, Biden's international climate envoy, has focused much of his efforts on prodding China, the world's top consumer of coal, to transition to clean energy more quickly. But that work “is harder now” amid China's defense of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Kerry said Wednesday.
“Some of the differences in opinion between our countries have sharpened and hardened, and that makes diplomacy more difficult,” he said during an online discussion on climate finance with the Center for Global Development.
Kerry's aides have downplayed talk he might leave the administration now that he's served more than a year, and he remains a loyal defender of Biden's climate efforts. But his tone has become more pessimistic recently, especially as Biden's climate proposals remain stalled in Congress.
The administration was also rattled by recent reports that Biden's domestic climate adviser, Gina McCarthy, plans to step down. McCarthy called the reports “simply inaccurate” and said she is “excited about the opportunities ahead.”
Another one of Biden's climate-related efforts could divide the environmental community. His administration plans to offer $6 billion in funding to prevent financially distressed nuclear power plants from closing. Although the facilities produce carbon-free electricity, they’re viewed warily by some activists because of concerns about how to dispose of nuclear waste and the potential for devastating accidents.
“We’re using every tool available to get this country powered by clean energy by 2035," Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement.
Abigail Dillen, president of the environmental group Earthjustice, said that “spirits have dimmed” after the failures of the past year. Although she praised some of the policies that Biden has achieved so far, she said that “it’s not at the scale of climate action we need — full-stop."
Now Republicans are poised to retake control of at least one chamber in Congress in November's midterm elections, meaning there's a limited window for making progress. Dillen and some other activists have suggested that Biden declare a climate emergency and use the Defense Production Act to boost renewable energy.
"It’s time to pull out all the stops,″ she said.

Eddie Westerfield, Supervisor of Electrical Design and Inspection, accepted the safety award on behalf of Easton Utilities from APPA’s Safety Committee and Industrial Hygiene and Corporate Risk Manager at Grand River Dam Authority Bob Scudder.
WASHINGTON — Easton Utilities has earned the American Public Power Association’s Safety Award of Excellence for safe operating practices in 2021. The utility earned first place award in the category for utilities with between 60,000 and 109,999 worker-hours of annual worker exposure.
“In our industry, safety is the top priority,” said Bob Scudder, chair of APPA’s Safety Committee and Industrial Hygiene and Corporate Risk Manager at Grand River Dam Authority. “This is a commitment that needs to come from the top down and permeate every aspect of operations. These awarded utilities have embraced this priority, and they deserve to be celebrated.”
318 utilities from across the country entered the annual Safety Awards. Entrants were placed in categories according to their number of worker-hours and ranked based on the most incident-free records during 2021. The incidence rate, used to judge entries, is based on the number of work-related reportable injuries or illnesses and the number of worker-hours during 2021, as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
“Easton Utilities values employee safety above all else,” said Andy Ober, Safety Specialist for Easton Utilities. “We all recognize the importance of going home to our families each day; this is what drives our dedication to safety.”
The Safety Awards have been held annually for more than 65 years. APPA is the voice of not-for-profit, community-owned utilities that power 2,000 towns and cities nationwide.

Chicago Bulls even their 1st-round series vs. the Milwaukee Bucks with a 114-110 Game 2 win behind DeMar DeRozan’s 41 points
DeMar DeRozan is a man of his word. He proved that to Chicago Bulls fans Wednesday night, devouring the Milwaukee Bucks defense in the second half to cement a 114-110 win that evened the first-round playoff series at a game apiece.
The Bulls star didn’t disguise his frustration after Game 1, promising he wouldn’t repeat his 6-of-25 shooting performance.
In his trademark style, DeRozan delivered when it mattered. He went 6-for-9 in the third quarter to hold off a furious Bucks comeback, weaving and sidestepping through the midrange to match blows with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
And after the Bucks carved the lead to three points with 56.4 seconds to play, DeRozan was there to counter — charging the rim to score the clinching basket with 18.2 seconds left.
DeRozan finished with 41 points, his highest-scoring playoff performance to join a list of career highs recorded in his 13th NBA season. He led the Bulls to their first win of the season over the Bucks and their first win against Antetokounmpo since 2017.
DeRozan wasn’t the only player with promises to keep. The Bulls offense underperformed at every position in Game 1. But Game 2 captured everything the Bulls promised they could be from the start of the season.
Their big three of DeRozan, Nikola Vučević (24) and Zach LaVine (20) combined for 75 points. Vučević knocked down four 3-pointers — including a clutch shot with 2:30 remaining, punching the air in a rare celebration. Alex Caruso whipped the ball precisely around the court, finishing with a playoff-best 10 assists before drawing a charge on Antetokounmpo to close the game.
After taking only three shots in Game 1, Patrick Williams vowed to ratchet up his aggression in the second playoff game of his young career. He stuck to that goal in Game 2, scoring 10 points on 5-for-9 shooting while recording nine rebounds, a steal and a block on Antetokounmpo.
The Bulls defense, meanwhile, continued to excel after holding the Bucks under 100 points in Game 1.
The Bucks turned the ball over on their first three plays, and the Bulls pounced on each mistake, leaping out to a 9-0 lead before the Bucks were forced to take a timeout. It was a satisfying role reversal for the Bulls, who dug themselves into an identical hole in the opening minutes of Game 1.
The early lead reflected an improvement from Game 1, in which the Bulls converted only five transition points despite forcing 21 turnovers.
The Bulls led by 14 at halftime, a margin that could have been even wider if Brook Lopez and Wesley Matthews hadn’t combined for six 3-pointers in the first half.
The Bucks were short-handed in the loss after losing two key players to injury during the game.
Bobby Portis took an elbow to the face from Tristan Thompson in the first quarter, dripping blood from under his right eye before being sidelined for the rest of the game with an abrasion that impaired his vision. The injury lessened the size advantage the Bucks typically hold over the Bulls, limiting them to Antetokounmpo and Lopez in the paint.
Khris Middleton — whose hot third-quarter shooting helped bring the Bucks back — exited the game in the fourth quarter with left knee soreness, limiting the Bucks around the perimeter.
The Bulls return to Chicago to host the Bucks in Game 3 on Friday — the first playoff game at the United Center in five seasons.

Angels’ Shohei Ohtani perfect through 5 innings, then gives up 6th-inning single to former Halos’ catcher
Shohei Ohtani is undeniably one of the greatest baseball talents of this generation. This we already know. But when the Japanese unicorn took a perfect game against the Houston Astros through five innings on Wednesday, his abilities nearly hit god status — though he wasn’t sure he could have gone all the way.
“Yeah I knew (it was a perfect game), but my pitch count was getting up there, so I wasn’t sure if I would’ve been able to finish it,” the Angels’ starting pitcher said after the game.
The right-hander and star slugger started off the game with his usual heroics at the plate. He capitalized on some off-mark fastballs and off-speed pitches to lead off the first with a walk, scoring three batters later courtesy of Astros’ Jake Odorizzi’s bad start.
Odorizzi actually had such a bad start, he wasn’t able to get two outs until he reached the bottom of the Angels’ order. He was pulled one batter before getting Ohtani again — and after the Angels took a 3-0 lead. That honor went to Astros’ reliever Blake Taylor, who gave up a double to Ohtani, which allowed two more Angels to score.
Ohtani, of course, did better by his team on the mound than those pitchers.
“I was leading off the game, so that’s what I was focused on, first off,” he said after the game. “After my first at-bat, that’s when I started to focus on the pitching side.”
He fanned his first two batters, Jeremy Pena and Michael Brantley, then got his third, Alex Bregman, to flyout on the first pitch he dealt to him. He retired his next three batters, Yordan Alvarez, Kyle Tucker and Yuli Gurriel, on seven total pitches. Ohtani’s third-inning batters all struck out swinging on his nasty sliders and splitters.
By the fourth inning, when the top of the Astros’ rotation reached Ohtani again, it looked like no one could touch him. Brantley was the only batter able to make contact with any of his pitches that inning, but they were fouled off. He got Alvarez to flyout in the fifth inning, then added two more strikeouts to his total on the night.
“Obviously they have a great lineup, so I just wanted it take it one batter at a time and try to get one out at a time,” Ohtani said.
It was in the sixth inning it started to get dicey for Ohtani. He got Niko Goodrum to strikeout on six pitches, bringing his K total to 12 (tied for his career high). Ironically, it was Jason Castro, who used to catch for Ohtani when he was briefly an Angel in 2020, that got the better of him, spoiling his magical night with a single for the only Astros hit of the night.
“I actually didn’t realize that it was a perfect game,” Castro told reporters after the game. “I knew there was a no hitter, but I was not 100% sure if somebody walked or not, but obviously you wanna break that up as quickly as you can.
“(Ohtani is) an incredibly gifted player on both sides of the ball. He was definitely on tonight.”
Ohtani closed out the inning after walking Pena two batters after Castro. He was pulled after the sixth, having dealt 81 pitches, 55 for strikes.
Ohtani’s final pitching line? 6 IP, 1 H, 1 BB and a 4.40 ERA — down from 7.76 after getting steamrolled by the Texas Rangers his last start. The Angels went on to win 6-0.

A$AP Rocky‘s arrest on Wednesday seemed to come out of nowhere as most of the recent media coverage about the rapper has centered on the pregnancy of his superstar girlfriend Rihanna.
But reports suggest that Rocky’s arrest was months in the making as local law enforcement apparently built a case that culminated on Wednesday morning at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), where he was returning from Rihanna’s native Barbados following the couple’s vacation.
According to NBC News, which first reported the arrest, Rocky, 33, was led out of LAX in handcuffs because he was identified as an alleged gunman in a shooting back in November. According to the alleged victim, Rocky pulled out a gun and fired at him multiple times on a Los Angeles street. The police report said in part that the victim thought his left hand was grazed by one of the bullets.
As such, Rocky was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, LAPD announced on Twitter. “The case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration,” the department tweeted in a statement.
According to the state law, a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon carries a penalty of up to four years in county jail.
It was not immediately clear if there was any more evidence that compelled police to arrest Rocky as soon as he deboarded his private plane. But what was clear is that this is just the latest legal trouble the Harlem-based rapper, born Rakim Mayers, has found himself in. If this current case turns out to be serious, Rocky’s criminal past could play a role in determining his future.
Reports show Rocky has been arrested multiple times for allegations of violence beginning when he was a teenager.
He has openly recalled his experience as a 16-year-old serving a two-week sentence in the notorious New York City jail Rikers Island over a fight. In that instance, he said he was charged with attempted murder before the charges were reduced.
“Everybody makes mistakes,” he previously said during an interview with Rap Radar.
A couple of years later, Rocky went on to become a cult favorite rapper, staying out of trouble for a handful of years while making a name for himself on the entertainment scene.
But the streets seemingly came back calling his name with a vengeance in 2012 when he was arrested for what MTV News described at the time as a “street fight in NYC” for allegedly beating up paparazzi and grabbing their cameras. He was later sued in the case and pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny, a felony. Rolling Stone reported that Rocky, who was also charged with attempted robbery in the second degree and assault, was sentenced to three days of community service and forced to pay a $250 fine in that case.
Things got a bit more brutal the following year when Rocky was accused of slapping a female fan for blowing him a kiss during a concert. While the fan sued Rocky, a key witness never showed up in court and the charges were eventually dropped. That lawsuit was reportedly settled in 2015.
Things would be relatively quiet on the violent front for the rapper for the next few years.
But in 2019, a social media video reportedly showed Rocky involved in a street fight following a concert in Toronto. “In a brief clip, you can see Rocky, who is holding a bottle of champagne, barking at a man who is kneeling on the ground and holding his face,” hip-hop publication XXL reported at the time before adding later: “There’s no word on why Rocky had to lay hands on someone.”
Later that year, Rocky was arrested in Sweden in a high-profile case that required then-President Donald Trump’s intervention to secure his freedom and return him to the U.S. In that instance, Rocky was arrested after a concert and was held in a Stockholm jail following accusations of assault stemming from a fight that a bystander caught on video. Rocky was ultimately found guilty of assault in Sweden. The court gave him a conditional sentence that ruled out more jail time following weeks behind bars.
All of that led up to his arrest on Wednesday for alleged involvement in a November shooting in Los Angeles.
To be sure, accepting a police narrative about a Black suspect is never the prudent thing to do. That is especially true when it comes to the LAPD, which has a very real history of corruption in order to make false arrests.
This is a developing story that will be updated as additional information becomes available.

Daniel Andrews is set to finally DUMP his controversial Covid pandemic powers - here's what you need to know
- Pandemic declaration in Victoria allows the state's enforcement of Covid rules
- The declaration is set to expire in the middle of winter this year, July 12
- Premier Daniel Andrews says he hopes he won't have to extend the declaration
- Premier Andrews would like to keep some of the measures in place afterward
Premier Daniel Andrews is keen to dump the last vestiges of Victoria's COVID-19 restrictions within months, as the state government defends the retention of worker vaccine mandates.
Victoria's pandemic declaration was extended by three months to July 12, allowing for the ongoing enforcement of COVID-19 measures such as mask and vaccine mandates.
Although the declaration is due to expire in the middle of winter, Mr Andrews is open to the possibility of letting it lapse.
Daniel Andrews says he is open to letting the pandemic declaration lapse when it is due to expire in the middle of winter
Victoria's pandemic declaration was extended by three months to July 12, allowing for the ongoing enforcement of COVID-19 measures such as mask and vaccine mandates
'I don't know what independent advice I'm going to get in the days leading up to the 12th of July. It's my hope that we don't need that (pandemic declaration),' he told reporters on Thursday.
'Or we need something less than that or we need some other arrangement. That would be terrific.
'I made it really clear to every Victorian if you got vaccinated, then we would have more options. We'd be able to get rid of these rules. That's exactly what we're doing.'
The Andrews government has green lit sweeping changes to restrictions, including scrapping compulsory seven-day isolation for close contacts, mandatory indoor masks for grade 3 to 6 students and its controversial 'vaccinated economy'.
Under the easing rules, patrons will no longer have to prove their vaccination status or check in when entering pubs, restaurants, movie theatres and sports venues from 11.59pm on Friday.
However, existing double- and triple-dose requirements remain for workers in hospitality, office, construction, healthcare, food distribution, police, emergency service and education settings.
Mr Andrews (pictured) says he's not sure what independent advice he will get in the days leading up to the 12th of July but said he hopes he won't need to extend the declaration
It means unvaccinated Victorians will be able to drink a beer at a pub but not pour one.
Health Minister Martin Foley has not acted on a recommendation from Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton to move away from vaccine mandates in favour of workplaces setting their own policies.
He defended the retention of the workforce vaccine mandates for now, crediting them for driving up vaccination rates.
Opposition Leader Matthew Guy called on the state government to set an official date for the end of the pandemic declaration as the country begins to reopen
'The position I've adopted is to recognise the hard work that Victorians have taken, keep the vaccine arrangements in place ... and review them in the coming weeks and months ahead,' Mr Foley told ABC TV on Thursday.
Opposition Leader Matthew Guy called on the state government to set an official date for the end of the pandemic declaration and scrap vaccine mandates for hospitality and construction workers.
'There is a great understanding from the community that in high-risk settings we'll have different rules ... but in most settings we've just got to move on,' he said.
Victoria recorded 10,674 new COVID-19 cases and 11 deaths on Thursday. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10738073/Daniel-Andrews-set-DUMP-controversial-Covid-pandemic-powers-heres-need-know.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-21T05:56:50Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10738073/Daniel-Andrews-set-DUMP-controversial-Covid-pandemic-powers-heres-need-know.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 5 |

The Seasoning Crab is Murfreesboro's latest seafood boil restaurant
Land-locked Murfreesboro has another option for seafood.
The Seasoning Crab opened without much fanfare — a soft opening, if you will — two weeks ago at 740 N.W. Broad St. in Murfreesboro.
Red Crab: Juicy Seafood took over after Logan's Roadhouse closed in 2017, and operated in that location for a little more than a year but closed after declining sales.
This is another restaurant that features crab and seafood boils, a dining trend that has become popular in recent years.
The menu at Seasoning Crab centers around a seafood boil, which has culinary roots in coastal regions of the South. Think crawfish, shrimp, mussels and clams. But these seafood spots also add lobster tails, scallops and crab legs to the mix.

What's on the menu at The Seasoning Crab?
A boil features your choice of protein, seasoning, corn on the cob and new potatoes boiled in a big plastic bag that you dump onto a metal tray. You're given plastic gloves and plenty of napkins. Some places even offer a bib to protect your clothes, although The Seasoning Crab did not.
You choose from a list of seasonings: Cajun, garlic butter, lemon pepper, or the "juicy sauce," which is a blend of everything with a spice level to suit (zero to flaming hot). Mix and match your proteins or opt for one of their combos.
I created my own combo with shrimp and snow crab legs, with the blended seasoning at a medium level. It was delicious and the perfect level of heat. I always hold out hope for good seafood at an inland restaurant. But my palate was pleased this time. I wish I'd opted for the "meatier" king crab, but I left full.
Not everyone loves this seafood boil thing. So there there are choices like pasta, chicken strips and wings, lots of fried seafood selections, soups and salads, and hibachi.
My husband chose hibachi salmon, which was served with stir-fried vegetables, stir-fry rice and noodles. He was supposed to get soup, but we didn't realize that until after we left. Not a big deal because he wasn't hungry we we left.
Because the seafood boil is the crux of the concept, I wanted to try it before I sampled the sushi. You'll find dozens of traditional and fusion sushi and sashimi.
What else to know about The Seasoning Crab
Seafood isn't cheap. That being said, I found The Seasoning Crab to be reasonable for what you get. Our bill was under $60 — pretty appropriate for that amount of seafood (including snow crab legs, which can range from $30 to $50). Whether you mix and match or choose one of the restaurant's combination platters, it's average of $30 to $38 per person for a seafood boil.
Love sushi? Seasoning Crab has a sushi lunch special from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Two rolls start at $12.99 and the sashimi lunch with nine pieces of chef's choice is $16.99. There's a hibachi lunch special at the same time that ranges from $14 to $18. Boiled and fried seafood baskets are also on lunch special from noon to 3 p.m. daily.
An 18% gratuity is added for parties of six or more — a pretty standard practice. You'll also find plenty of space for those big groups.
The Seasoning Crab is waiting on liquor licensing. So no alcoholic beverages are offered yet. But there's room for a full bar.
You should also bring a Sharpie to leave your mark on one of the wooden walls or posts.
Hours are 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 9:30 p.m. Sunday.
Call 615-900-3558 and visit seasoningcrabtn.com/ for more details or to order online. The to-go menu is a little different than the in-house menus. The restaurant also has partnered with third-party delivery.

HYDERABAD: IT minister K.T. Rama Rao on Wednesday took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and union tourism minister G. Kishan Reddy over the issue of shifting of WHO-approved Global Centre for Traditional Medicines (GCTM) from Hyderabad to Gujarat. He said the saga of Modi’s discrimination against Telangana went on unabated.
Rama Rao took to Twitter to 'congratulate' union minister Kishan Reddy sarcastically on this issue and also called the NDA government as ‘NPA’ (non-performing asset).
He tweeted, "Congratulations to Kishan Reddy Ji, Cabinet Minister in NPA Govt on bringing a prestigious national institute to the state. Oh wait!! As usual, the PM of Gujarat decided that it should move to Jamnagar. The saga of Modi Ji’s discrimination against Telangana goes
on unabated.”(sic)
Rama Rao also posted the details of the number of IIMs, IITs, IISERs, IIITs, NIDs, Navodaya Vidyalayas and government medical colleges sanctioned by the Centre to various states to highlight that none of these national institutions were sanctioned to Telangana in the last
eight years.
Rama Rao was responding to a tweet by Kishan Reddy who on Tuesday shared the news that Modi laid the foundation stone for the GCTM in Jamnagar of Gujarat.
Earlier in February this year, Kishan Reddy announced that the union ministry of AYUSH intended to establish a WHO-approved GCTM in Hyderabad. He also wrote a letter to Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, urging for allotment of suitable land for setting up the global centre in Hyderabad.

Hundreds of shark fins seized from Texas restaurant
BEXAR COUNTY, Texas — Texas Game Wardens seized hundreds of whole shark fins during an inspection of a seafood restaurant.
In a Facebook post, Texas Game Wardens shared a photo of nearly 400 shark fins that were found at a Bexar County restaurant. In the caption, investigators said they found an additional 29.2 pounds of frozen shark fins in the restaurant’s commercial freezer.
Neither the restaurant nor its owners were named by investigators, who said that charges were pending in the post.
Shark fins are used to cook certain delicacies, KENS reported. There are also some cultures that believe shark fins hold medicinal value, according to the Smithsonian Institution.
Texas became the 10th state to ban the trade of shark fins in 2015, becoming the first Gulf Coast state to enact such a law. The Shark Finning Prohibition Act of 2000 forbids shark finning in any U.S. waters.
Shark finning is the process of removing a fin from a still-living shark and throwing the animal back into the water. According to the Smithsonian Institution, more than one million sharks are killed each year in the shark fin trade, with some shark populations decreasing 60-70% due to human shark fisheries.

“Thor: love and thunder” premiered its first trailer last Monday, April 18, where we could see the first scenes of the film accompanied by the classic Guns N’ Roses song “Sweet child o’ mine”. Plus, we finally got to see Jane Foster as Mighty Thor holding Mjolnir.
However, one detail that seems to have gone unnoticed was the possible introduction of the Korbonite warrior from the comics, Beta Ray Billywho is deemed worthy of the power of Thor and Mjolnir, leading him to temporarily hold the cloak.
YOU CAN SEE: “Doctor Strange 2″: what movies and series should you see to understand it at its premiere?
Beta Ray Bill in the trailer for “Thor 4″
In one of the preview images we see that Thor and Korg return to Sakaar, the planet that played a leading role in “Thor: Ragnarök”. This is also where Beta Ray Bill became the Grandmaster champion before the Hulk took the crown. They may have traveled there to look for it. In the aforementioned scene we see an empty space next to the God of Thunder, as if someone was missing.
Let’s remember that Marvel always plays with the minds of fans by modifying their trailers, as happened in “Spider-Man: no way home” with Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire. So it is likely that he hid Beta during the trailer for “Thor: love and thunder”.
If Thor really retreats or dies fighting Gorr, the butcher of the gods, Beta Ray Bill’s appearance in “Thor 4” could allow him to step in and use the Stormbreaker. Also, at another point in the trailer we see two people dressed as Thor entering Olympus, one is the God of Thunder and the other could be Beta, although there is also the possibility that it is Jane Foster.
It should be noted that the plot of the film highlights that Thor he’s ready to retire from his superhero days, as we even see him planting the Stormbreaker in the ground. This artifact is originally and rightfully owned by Beta according to the comics.

The German Lennard Kamna (Bora Hansgrohe) was the strongest of the day’s breakaway and won alone in the third stage of the Tour of the Alps, disputed between Lana and Villabassa with a distance of 154.6 km, in which he maintained the lead was the Spaniard Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious).
Kamma, the winner of the third stage
Kamna (Wedel, 25 years old), a stage winner in the Tour de France, Dauphiné and Volta a Catalunya, achieved his fifth victory as a professional with an attack within the selected group 3 km from the finish line that allowed him to calmly raise his arms.
The German finished the stage with a time of 4:02.56, at an average of 38.4 km/hour, in a demanding day that was characterized by the success of the riders who formed the initial breakaway.
Kamna led the Costa Rican from Ineos Andrey Amador by 3 seconds and a group led by Spaniard Jonathan Lastra (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) by 4, who had an outstanding performance.
(Also: Luis Díaz and the great games that come with Liverpool: day, time and TV).
The men in the general classification, with Pello Bilbao assuring the leader’s green jersey, arrived at the finish line 57 seconds behind Kamna. The 32-year-old from Gernikarra will defend the green jersey in the fourth stage with 6 seconds over Frenchman Romain Bardet (DS) and 12 seconds over Hungarian Attila Valter (Groupama).
The escape was made up of 7 men near the first non-scoring ascent of Velturno, with Rojas, Jonathan Lastra and Unai Iríbar among them. The group overcame the first scoring difficulty together, the Terento (2a.6 km at 7.9 percent), with the peloton without reacting. Pello Bilbao’s Bahrain remained calm, since the most dangerous in the breakaway was the Australian Hamilton (DSM) at 4.23 minutes. Precisely, Hamilton attacked by climbing the Fulkerpass / Passo Furcia (1a, 12.3 km at an average percentage of 6.1), with the summit 24 km from the finish line, but his breakaway companions did not approve of the idea.
Behind, in the group of favorites, Sivakov tensed, immediately neutralized by
the leader’s men. The breakaway with Kamna, Amador, Lastra, Pronskyi, Barta and Piccoli was recomposed with a 10-minute lead. No problem for Bilbao, who was traveling calmly with Bardet, Landa, Porte and Sivakov. Victory was ahead and the green jersey on the backs of the Biscayan. 3 km from the finish line, Lennard Kamna attacked, whose wheel Amador and Lastra try to follow, but successive changes of pace by the German allowed him to open up a few meters of advantage. Enough to apply the law of the strongest in the end. He took the second victory of the season, after the stage he achieved in the Vuelta a Andalucía.

This is how it went for the Colombians
In stage three, Colombians Éiner Rubio (Movistar) Esteban Chaves (EF), Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain) and Yesid Pira (Caja Rural) entered the second batch and came within 57 seconds of the winner of the stage.
In the general classification, Éiner Rubio is the best Colombian, located in sixth position, 16 seconds behind Pello Bilbao, the leader. Esteban Chaves is ninth, with the same time. Buitrago is in 12th place, also 16s behind. Miguel Ángel López, lagging behind, is in box 38, at 14 minutes and 8 seconds.
This Thursday, important appointment with the mountain in the fourth stage between Villabassa and Kals am Grossglockner, of 142.4 kms. Six climbs on the way, although only two will be scored. The first of them the Kartitscher Sattel, on Austrian soil (2a, 8.2 km at 5.7 percent). After a long descent not without steep slopes, the Gailberg Sattel elevation (3a, 6.4 km to 4.3) will be reached, to finish in the non-scoring ascent to Grossglockner, a town in the state of Tyrol, in Austria.

Is Burnley vs Southampton on TV tonight? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture
All you need to know ahead of the Premier League clash
Southampton travel to Burnley in the Premier League tonight in the search for back-to-back wins.
Jan Bednarek helped end a miserable run of five defeats and a draw, as Southampton claimed all three points when they beat Champions League-chasing Arsenal 1-0 at St Mary’s last weekend.
For Burnley it will be the first time since October 2012 that the Clarets will take to the Turf Moor pitch without Sean Dyche in charge, who was sacked on 15 April 2022 after being with the club for nine and a half years.
Caretaker manager Mike Jackson saw his side draw 1-1 with West Ham last Sunday.
Wout Weghorst ended an eight-game goal drought by heading home the opener, before Maxwell Cornet missed from the penalty spot on the stroke of half time. The Ivorian’s miss would prove costly as the Hammers equalised in the 74th minute through Tomas Soucek.
Here is everything you need to know about the Premier League fixture.
When is Burnley vs Southampton?
Burnley vs Southampton will kick off at 7:45pm BST at Turf Moor.
How can I watch Burnley vs Southampton on TV?

MILWAUKEE (AP) — DeMar DeRozan made sure the Chicago Bulls altered their painful recent history against the Milwaukee Bucks and gave this first-round series a fresh new start.
Now it’s the defending champion Bucks who are suddenly hurting as the teams head to Chicago all tied up.
DeRozan scored a career playoff-high 41 points and the Bulls outlasted the Bucks 114-110 on Wednesday night in Game 2. Nikola Vucevic added 24 points and 13 rebounds, while Zach LaVine had 20 points as the sixth-seeded Bulls beat the third-seeded Bucks for just the second time in their last 19 meetings.
“No matter what you did in the regular season, this is a brand new start and new mindset,” DeRozan said. “You could see it in all the guys. It doesn’t matter if we’d lost 20 times to those guys. This is an opportunity for us to compete. We’ve got to take advantage of it.”
The big question now is what shape the Bucks will be in when this series resumes Friday.
Bobby Portis left the game with a right eye abrasion after the first quarter and Khris Middleton exited with 6:49 left after his left leg gave out while he tried to plant on a spin move.
Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said after the game that Middleton has a sprained medial collateral ligament and will undergo an MRI on Thursday.
“He’s always been positive and he knows the type of team that we are and how resilient we are,” Bucks guard Jrue Holiday said. “We just want him to get back as quickly as possible and be healthy so he can come out here and help us win games.”
Budenholzer said that Portis “should be fine with some time.”
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 33 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists, putting him one assist from his second career playoff triple-double. Antetokounmpo increased his career postseason point total to 1,715 to overtake Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1,692) for the most in Bucks history.
Brook Lopez had 25 points for the Bucks. Middleton scored 18 and Holiday 15.
DeRozan scored eight points during a 13-0 run that began late in the third quarter and gave the Bulls a 96-80 lead with 9:47 remaining. The Bulls still led by 15 before Milwaukee rallied in the final 7 ½ minutes.
Lopez converted a three-point play to cut Chicago’s lead to 112-109 with 56 seconds left.
“We expected those guys to make a run,” Vucevic said. “They’re a championship team for a reason. They’ve been there before, so we expected them to make a run.”
But after Alex Caruso and Vucevic got offensive rebounds on the Bulls’ ensuing possession, DeRozan’s driving layup made it 114-109 with 18.2 seconds remaining.
Chicago bounced back from a 93-86 Game 1 loss and continued to show the grit that had been missing late in the regular season, particularly when the Bulls were facing top teams.
The Bulls lost 15 of their final 22 regular-season games. During the regular season, the Bulls went just 2-21 against the top four seeds in each conference.
“I do think that playing some of these higher-level teams at the end of the year has maybe kind of hardened us, helped us grow,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said. “It’s helped us get better. It’s helped us be able to have that kind of mentality that we’ve got to move on to the next play. I think at times this year when we played against good teams, when it started to go a little bit the other direction, we didn’t have enough in us to get it back going in our direction.”
Chicago closed the second quarter on a 15-4 run to grab a 65-4 halftime advantage.
The Bulls extended the lead to 18 early in the third quarter, before the Bucks rallied with a small lineup featuring Antetokounmpo, Middleton and reserve guards Grayson Allen, Pat Connaughton and Jevon Carter.
Milwaukee went on a 15-2 spurt to cut the Bulls’ lead to three late in the third period. But the Bulls responded with 13 straight points and stayed in front the reset of the way.
“We made a good run, but the last minute of the third quarter I thought we could have been better, and then coming out of the fourth quarter, another big swing,” Budenholzer said. “We dug ourselves some big holes.”
TIP-INS
Bulls: After shooting a season-low 32.3% and going 7 of 37 from 3-point range in a 93-86 Game 1 loss, the Bulls shot 49.4% and went 12 of 25 from beyond the arc Wednesday. DeRozan, LaVine and Vucevic shot a combined 21 of 71 overall and 4 of 22 from 3-point range in Game 1. They were a combined 33 of 62 overall and 7 of 14 on 3-point attempts in Game 2. … Caruso had 10 assists to go along with nine points. … Patrick Williams had 10 points and nine rebounds.
Bucks: George Hill missed a third straight game with an abdominal strain. Budenholzer said before Game 2 that Hill isn’t expected back I the short term and that the team will monitor how the 35-year-old Hill guard progresses over the next “handful of days or more,” … The Bucks had 15 turnovers to increase their series total to 36.

Deves said surrogacy is ‘reproductive prostitution’ and violates human rights
By Michael Koziol and James Massola
Controversial Liberal candidate for Warringah Katherine Deves repeatedly described surrogacy as a human rights violation and even “reproductive prostitution” in now-deleted tweets that go beyond her interests in women and girls’ sport.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison continued to defend his hand-picked candidate on Thursday after reports she had been banned from events and the media amid outrage over her comments about transgender people and LGBTQ issues.
Deves, who co-founded the Save Women’s Sport lobby group, condemned surrogacy as a “human rights violation” after gay US politician and former presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg posted about becoming a parent.
“Surrogacy is a human rights violation,” she replied. “Women’s bodies are not vehicles for a vanity project.” It was later reported Buttigieg and his husband actually adopted two children.
Deves made similar remarks in other now-deleted tweets including a December 31 message saying: “Surrogacy is reproductive prostitution. It is egregious exploitation of women, both the woman from the egg is ‘harvested’ and the pregnant woman who gives birth to the baby. Breaking the mother-baby dyad is a catastrophic disruption to normal human reproduction and relationship.”
Some feminists have called commercial surrogacy – where a woman is paid to carry the baby –reproductive prostitution, though Deves’ tweet did not distinguish between paid and unpaid. Commercial surrogacy is illegal in all Australian states and territories bar the Northern Territory, where there are no relevant laws.
Sam Everingham, global director of Sydney-based surrogacy organisation Growing Families, said Deves’ “inflammatory” comments suggested she was unfamiliar with the reality of surrogacy.
“Many hundreds of Australians engage in well-regulated surrogacy arrangements every year, including many from her own electorate,” he said. “Ignorance breeds prejudice and discrimination.”
In another tweet, from September, Deves replied to journalist Georgie Dent, who had quoted an opinion piece published in the Herald and The Age accusing Morrison of “an act of chutzpah” for reserving the keynote address at the National Women’s Safety Summit.
“Maybe he [Morrison] identifies as a woman?” Deves quipped.
The NSW Liberal Party was contacted for comment. Deves has previously issued apologies for the language she has used in conducting her campaign, as well as for any hurt caused, though she did not resile from her beliefs.
Morrison was not asked directly about Deves’ surrogacy comments at his daily election campaign press conference on Thursday but continued to defend her and said he had spoken to her earlier with words of encouragement.
“Katherine is campaigning and I’ve been in contact with Katherine again today encouraging her,” Morrison said.
He also denied leaking a text message from NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet expressing support for Deves, suggesting it could have been leaked by one of the “close colleagues” he had spoken with about the matter.
“When I was speaking to some close colleagues in the Liberal Party on the weekend, they asked me whether Dom had been in contact, and I simply said that he had,” Morrison said on Thursday.
“I hadn’t shared any text messages or anything like that, I just said he had been in contact. We didn’t and they didn’t [leak the message].”
Deves was the prime minister’s hand-picked candidate for the seat amid an internal Liberal stalemate over candidate preselections in NSW. Nominations closed today, with Deves now certain to appear on the ballot paper.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg was asked about some of Deves’ recently-revealed comments while he was campaigning with Liberal MP Trent Zimmerman.
“There is a legitimate discussion that has been had by the community about participation in sport, having a level playing field,” Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said. “But as for [Deves’] comments, they were inappropriate, insensitive, unacceptable.”
She cancelled a scheduled appearance at a community forum in Manly on Tuesday night where she was due to appear alongside other candidates including incumbent MP Zali Steggall.
It followed days of coverage of Deves’ comments about transgender issues in tweets and videos, including calling LGBTQ initiative Wear It Purple Day a “grooming tactic”, saying trans children were “surgically mutilated” and speculating Canadian actor Elliot page was paid to come out as transgender. | https://www.watoday.com.au/politics/federal/deves-said-surrogacy-is-reproductive-prostitution-and-violates-human-rights-20220421-p5af4q.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_politics_federal | 2022-04-21T06:44:20Z | https://www.watoday.com.au/politics/federal/deves-said-surrogacy-is-reproductive-prostitution-and-violates-human-rights-20220421-p5af4q.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_politics_federal | false | 5 |
CLOVIS, Calif. (KFSN) -- This isn't Clovis' first rodeo.
In fact, it's the 108th Clovis Rodeo. But this is the first since 2019 without COVID restrictions.
The event was completely called off in 2020 and in 2021, vaccination cards or negative COVID tests were required for entry, which resulted in fewer fans in the stands.
"it was really restricted and our attendance was down a lot."
But this year, thousands of people packed the rodeo grounds to see some bull-riding, listen to live music and eat tri-tip on the first night.

"This is the rodeo I remember and it's exciting to be back," says PBR Rider Cody Teel.
Teel is from Texas says he could feel the excitement from a bigger Clovis crowd this year.
"There is really no substitute for it," he said. "Having the fans in the crowd and it just makes the event what it is."
While there may not be restrictions, the rodeo could see rain. Back in 2014, wet weather made the arena so muddy, that a Fresno County Sheriff's helicopter had to assist in drying the grounds, Using its blades to fan the mud.
Now, a recently-added drain in front of the grandstand will help avoid that.
"We have had some rains on and off during this winter and the ground is great, so that helps out a lot," says Clovis Rodeo Association President Ron Dunbar. "So rodeo rain or shine, but we are hoping we will get some sprinkles here and there, knock the dust down. Wear your cowboy hat."
If this is your first rodeo, organizers say it likely won't be your last.

Garth Brooks is doubling up on Cincinnati fun to kick off his 2022 Stadium Tour shows.
After previously announcing a show at the city’s Paul Brown Stadium on May 14, Garth is adding a new opening night at the same venue a day earlier, on Friday, May 13. That means there will be a total of two shows in Cincinnati. They will be the only Stadium Tour dates to take place in Ohio, Kentucky or West Virginia this year.
It’s the first time Garth’s playing the venue, though he’d planned to play it as part of a 2020 run that wound up being canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Before the shutdowns, the singer set a ticket sales record at Paul Brown Stadium, selling out the venue in just over an hour as more than 70,000 fans snapped up their tickets.
Ticket sales for the new show begin April 29 at 10 a.m. ET.

What are the top-rated hair serums on Sephora?
Hair serum can whip your hair into shape with a dose of highly potent ingredients. Whether you want to control frizz, boost shine, reduce tangles, enhance texture or protect against damage, you’re sure to find a hair serum to meet your goals. Hair serums are usually silicone-based and used as a styling product on damp hair. They coat the surface of your hair, which means nearly every formula is effective at fighting frizz. But some hair serums feature specialized formulations that specifically target different hair types. These differences help you find an option for straight, curly, coarse, fine, color-treated or damaged hair. Many serums also work as heat protectants, so you can apply them before using a flat iron, curling iron or blow dryer.
If you’re on the hunt for a high-quality hair serum, here are the most popular options at Sephora to give you luscious locks every day.

The Assam government will file an Interlocutory Application in Supreme Court for providing Aadhaar cards to National Register of Citizens (NRC) applicants whose biometrics have been locked in the updating process of the citizenship document. The decision was taken at a Cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, here on Wednesday evening.
Later Sarma tweeted: "Approval to filing of an IA (Interlocutory Application) in the Supreme Court for relaxation of Para 9 of the SOP and for providing Aadhaar cards to NRC applicants whose Aadhaar cards are kept on hold because of existing SOP."
This, he said, will benefit a large section of people below poverty line, students, pensioners, job seekers who do not have Aadhaar cards.
Over 27 lakh NRC applicants in the state had submitted their biometrics during the claims and objections phase for updating the state's NRC. Of these 19 lakh names were not included in the final draft of the NRC published on August 31, 2019, and these people are now facing problems in generating Aadhaar as their biometrics have been locked due to a Supreme Court directive.
The apex court is overseeing the NRC updating process.
The state government had said in the Assembly last month that it has written at least twice to the Centre in the last two years requesting them to allow the Aadhaar card issuing authority to access the biometrics of at least those people whose names had figured in the NRC final draft.
During the meeting a cabinet sub-committee was formed to discuss the way forward with different organisations by the state government and the meeting approved was given to the proposed Assam State Bridge Infrastructure Project (ASBIP) at an estimated cost of Rs 4,360 crore.
ASBIP will encompass 1,085 minor and major maintenance of bridges, capacity expansion of bridges, conversion of timber bridges to RCC bridges among others.
Approval was also given to Chief Minister's Scheme for Public Emergency under which monetary assistance to individuals or organisations can be given where budget allocation is not adequate or available.
Compensation to victims of conflict, flood and fire, monetary award to public servants for exceptional service, financial support to sports, cultural or academic icons, infrastructure support to socio-cultural and academic institutions for which regular budget is not adequate or available will also be covered by this fund.
To provide respite to low-end domestic consumers from hike in retail tariff, approval was given to targeted subsidy for power consumers from May 10, 2022, which will benefit around 60 lakh households in the state.
The cabinet also approved land for the Royal Bhutanese Consulate General Office at Dimoria under Sonapur Revenue Circle and for establishment of a battalion camp of CRPF at Chhaygaon Panthan under Chhaygaon Revenue Circle.
It authorised deputy commissioners to allot or transfer government land in rural areas to state and central government undertakings, statutory bodies, parastatals, etc., without prior government approval.
The Cabinet also approved sanction of Rs 108 crore for Assam Microfinance Incentive and Relief Scheme (AMFIRS) 2021.

Extra funding and more staff would still not allow for online voting to be available for next year's NSW election, the state's electoral commissioner says.
John Schmidt told a budget estimates hearing on Thursday all the money and resources in the world would not enable the system to be adequately tested and ready for the election in March.
"If you give me $100 million tomorrow and 100 people I could not put in place a system in that time frame to deliver that, let alone get my other systems fully tested," Mr Schmidt said.

The decision not to use iVote at the next election was an operational matter and had nothing to do with cybersecurity concerns or issues that arose during local government elections last year, he said.
The software provider will be releasing a new version and will not be supporting the old version.
"We would have to implement and install and more importantly test the new version of the software if we were going to use it for the March 2023 state general election," Mr Schmidt said.
There is not enough time to do that, as the base version of the software needs to be customised to the NSW Electoral Commission specific requirements.
Online voting was initially introduced to allow people with visual impairments to vote, but restricting the use of iVote at next year's election to those people would not be possible.
The NSW Supreme Court judged in March that three local councils would have to hold fresh elections after iVote issues caused a material irregularity in the vote.
That decision has changed the landscape and meant the validity of the next election could be challenged if the issues repeated, Mr Schmidt said.
Telephone voting for those who require it will be the "halfway house" solution, the hearing was told.
Mr Schmidt said his commission needs consistent funding and not just ahead of elections.
"I don't get the money on an ongoing basis, my IT systems ... some of them are crap. They're all out of support, but I get funding as part of the election cycle.
"This is work that you cannot do at the last minute in the lead-up to the election, and the older the systems are the longer it takes to fix them," Mr Schmidt said.
He said there are a significant positions within the commission yet to be funded beyond the end of June, but he is engaging with the government and believes there has been a change in attitude towards funding for the commission ahead of the upcoming budget.

A prominent Australian celebrity has slammed Australian politicians for ignoring a "national crisis" of homelessness among women.
Television cook Julie Goodwin on Thursday shamed Prime Minister Scott Morrison over his failure to protect almost 50,000 women who are experiencing homelessness in Australia.
Goodwin said many of these women are in "grave danger" and could even lose their lives if the "invisible crisis" continues to be ignored.
"This is a national crisis and should be one of the biggest election issues, but none of the parties are talking about it," she said.

Advertise with NZME."It's shameful that Scott Morrison has done nothing to help and now wants to slash the amount spent on the homeless by $40 million (NZ$43m)."
The MasterChef star spoke out after a recent survey involving several women's charities revealed a third of women are worried they too could face homelessness.
The survey found more than 86 per cent of people believe the federal government isn't doing enough to provide emergency and long-term housing for homeless women.
"These women are citizens of this country and this country can afford to bring them out of despair. The solution is very simple – every woman deserves permanent housing. Every woman deserves a place to call home. The government needs to fund it," she said.
"One lost pay cheque, one more argument, one more illness and all of a sudden, the rug's been pulled out from under your life and you're staring down the barrel of losing everything."
Homelessness Australia chairwoman Jenny Smith said the significant wealth gap between men and women and the rising housing market are the driving forces behind the nation's crisis.
"[The] data shows that women continue to bear the brunt of any crisis, whether it be fires, a pandemic, or an economic recession," Smith said.
According to the Bureau of Statistics and the Urban Developer, 67 per cent of the more than 116,000 people experiencing homelessness in the country are women and girls.

Advertise with NZME.Goodwin endorsed the Unhoused campaign, which calls on both the coalition and opposition to commit A$7.6 billion towards permanent homes for women – the number recommended by the Equity Economics "Nowhere to Go" report of July 2021.
Australians have been urged to show their support towards women experiencing homelessness by signing a petition on the Unhoused website. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/celebrity-cook-julie-goodwin-shames-scott-morrison-over-homeless-women-in-australia/XBDNZD6DUCM4C6546MWCKAOURQ/?c_id=2&objectid=12519389 | 2022-04-21T07:02:15Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/celebrity-cook-julie-goodwin-shames-scott-morrison-over-homeless-women-in-australia/XBDNZD6DUCM4C6546MWCKAOURQ/?c_id=2&objectid=12519389 | false | 5 |

Which beach cooler with speakers is best?
Going to the beach for a day of fun with family and friends usually means that you have to lug a few things to your chosen spot. Nobody enjoys multiple trips to the vehicle on blistering beach sand, so you either have to move quickly or carry as much as you can in one go.
That isn’t always practical, but you can carry the two most important things at the same time: your cooler box and music speakers. You could stack them on top of each other, but it’s much better to simply get a beverage cooler that has built-in speakers.

BEIJING (AP) — China’s credit card processor has refused to work with banks in Russia for fear of being targeted by sanctions over its war on Ukraine, cutting off a possible alternative after Visa and Mastercard stopped serving them, according to the Russian news outlet RBC.
UnionPay’s decision affects Sberbank, Russia’s biggest commercial bank, and smaller institutions, RBC reported Wednesday. It cited five unidentified sources in large Russian banks.
Mastercard and Visa suspended operations in Russia after the United States and other governments imposed trade and financial sanctions on President Vladimir Putin’s government for its attack on Ukraine.
Sberbank and another institution, Tinkoff Bank, announced they were looking at switching to UnionPay, which is operated by Chinese state-owned banks. UnionPay is one of the biggest global payments processors but does almost all its business in China.
American officials have warned that governments or companies that try to undermine sanctions will face consequences. RBC said UnionPay wanted to avoid such “secondary sanctions.”
Chinese President Xi Jinping's government has called Russia its “most important strategic partner” and criticized sanctions on Moscow. But Chinese companies and banks appear to be complying with trade and financial restrictions.
Other banks cited by RBC include Alfa Bank, VTB, Otkrytie and Promsvyazbank. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Report-Chinese-credit-card-processor-rebuffs-17115811.php | 2022-04-21T07:10:47Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Report-Chinese-credit-card-processor-rebuffs-17115811.php | false | 31 |
Landis man convicted to at least 90 months prison on drug charges
ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. (WBTV) - Kenneth Wayne Gabriel of Landis was convicted last week in Rowan County Criminal Superior Court of two counts of felony trafficking in opium/heroin, felony conspiracy to sell/deliver a schedule II and III controlled substance, felony possession with intent to manufacture/sell/deliver cocaine, felony possession with intent to manufacture/sell/deliver a schedule II controlled substance, and felony conspiracy to possess a controlled substance in jail.
According to a press release from the Rowan County District Attorney’s Office, Gabriel admitted his status as a habitual felon and the presiding judge sentenced him to a minimum of 90 months to a maximum of 120 months in prison, along with a concurrent sentence of a minimum of 70 months to a maximum of 93 months in prison and a $50,000 fine.
On June 26, 2019, the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office received information of possible narcotics in the jail. During the investigation, detectives were able to intercept recorded jail phone calls between Gabriel and another individual on ways to send drugs into the jail. On September 1, 2020, an individual working in an undercover capacity for the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office purchased approximately 12 grams of methamphetamine from Gabriel in exchange for $400.00.
On November 14, 2020, an officer with the Rockwell Police Department observed a vehicle in a parking lot. Gabriel was located in the driver’s seat and appeared to be impaired. Officers located over 10 grams of Fentanyl. On February 12, 2001, an officer with the Salisbury Police Department responded to Marshall’s on Faith Road. Gabriel was in the driver’s seat and an officer observed drug paraphernalia in the vehicle. Officers located a blue bag attached to his belt that contained cocaine. A black box located in the vehicle also contained cocaine. Officers located methamphetamine in his pants.
Gabriel had previously been convicted of felony breaking and/or entering, felony possession of stolen goods, felony hit/run failure to stop for personal injury, among other convictions.

The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre has said that there is no one who can legally afford the N100 million fixed by the All Progressives Congress for its Nomination and Expression of Interest forms for the 2023 presidential poll.
Executive Director of CISLAC and Chairman Transition Monitoring Group, Auwal Ibrahim Rafsanjani, spoke in a statement.
In the statement on Wednesday, Rafsanjani said: “It was unbelievable for a ruling party that the President belongs to, has endorsed the expression of interest and nomination forms for its presidential ticket at N100m.
“This is especially at a time when many have expressed dissatisfaction with the level of youth participation in partisan politics and called for deliberate measures to create the enabling environment for wider inclusion and active participation of women and youth in politics and governance of the country.
“A key question to ask is, ‘Who can legally afford N100 million for a Presidential ambition?’ This despicable decision by the APC begs this question as it only serves within the following contexts to: Marginalize youths, women and average citizens; Despite claims of a 50% reduction in nomination and expression of interest fees, the new Presidential nomination fees at (from N100 million to N50 million) remains clearly higher than the 2019 Presidential aspirant fee which was N45 million (N40 million for nomination form and N5 million for expression of interest form).
“This will apparently exclude the youth, women and average Nigerians who have clamoured to improve opportunities to exercise their rights to declare their interests and contest in the elections.
“The current total fee is N5 million higher than it was 3 years ago when inflation was significantly lower and the common man had a better spending power.
“It has been well established that money politics has served the purposes of consolidating elite rule as well as the political exclusion of the less financially stable and marginalized groups.
“The 1999 Constitution by omission or commission placed an age barrier by disqualifying persons below the ages of 40 and 30 from contesting for the offices of the President, and membership for House of Representatives and Assembly, respectively.
“Today’s decision by the ruling party however makes a mockery of the efforts of all the stakeholders and general public that campaigned vigorously to secure the signing of the Not Too Young To Run bill into law by President Muhammadu Buhari on May 31, 2018.
“It once again re-emphasizes the lack of sincerity of purpose and political inconsistencies that have plagued this administration’s decisions/commitments to any cause or agenda.
“Why the APC has now chosen to be the instrument through which godfatherism has been officially institutionalised in the electoral process is baffling, especially at a time that they are battling to redeem what little trust the public has in them, is worrisome.
“There are numerous instances in the past, of godfather-backed politicians who have had to defer to their political godfathers for matters such as appointment of commissioners, appointment into the board of statutory corporations, etc. or have essentially handed-over the functions of their offices to their political benefactors to the detriment of their mandates and electorates.
“This alliance has been behind the characteristic electoral corruption and violence in Nigeria as Godfathers deploy enormous resources in a bid to corrupt electoral officials and the electorate and where these fail, violence will be deployed to bring about the desired result. It fuels apathy and the few electorates who turn out to vote mostly do so to benefit from the largesse at the polling units.” | https://theeagleonline.com.ng/no-one-can-legally-afford-cost-of-apcs-presidential-form-cislac/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=no-one-can-legally-afford-cost-of-apcs-presidential-form-cislac | 2022-04-21T07:18:16Z | https://theeagleonline.com.ng/no-one-can-legally-afford-cost-of-apcs-presidential-form-cislac/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=no-one-can-legally-afford-cost-of-apcs-presidential-form-cislac | true | 2 |

Transfer news: Carvalho says Reds interest has affected him

Portuguese winger Fabio Carvalho has said Liverpool's interest in signing him has affected his recent Fulham performances. However, it is believed the 19-year-old winger is closing in on a deal to join the Reds after the club missed out on signing him back in January.

Ilhan Omar Mocked for Attacking Easter Worship on Plane: 'Stop with the Christianphobia, Congresswoman'
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from Minnesota is being criticized for anti-Christian bigotry after expressing outrage over a video of Christians singing on an airplane.
In a tweet on April 16, the day before Easter, Omar posted a video of a worship leader with a guitar singing Christian songs on a plane.
Omar’s tweet read, “I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane. How do you think it will end?”
I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane. How do you think it will end? pic.twitter.com/5696Erwsl5
— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) April 17, 2022
This comment was met with a wave of criticism.
Some tweeted that Omar was being religiously bigoted while others pointed out the basic fact of religious freedom in the U.S.
Why do you hate Christians, Ilhan?
If the freedom of religion we enjoy here in America disturbs you, feel free to pack your bags and head back to Somalia, Sudan, or wherever you’re from.
Take your brother with you. https://t.co/f2FZhWruz0
— Vernon Jones For Congress (@VernonForGA) April 17, 2022
Vernon Jones, a black pro-Trump Republican who is running for a Georgia House seat tweeted, “Why do you hate Christians, Ilhan?”
Omar’s comment seemed to indicate that she does not have the religious freedom, as a Muslim, to pray in public. But Jose Castillo, a Republican candidate running for Congress in Florida’s 9th Congressional District tweeted that Omar is free, as a Muslim, to pray in public.
“In America, Muslims can & do pray in public,” Castillo’s tweet said. “If she wants a country where Christians aren’t allowed to do the same [Omar] should go back to her own country.”
Omar is originally from Somalia and is a naturalized U.S. citizen.
Somalia is a country that is known for brutal religious oppression and strife, with large sections of the country being subjected to Islamic law.
“Somaliland’s constitution declares Islam the state religion, prohibits Muslims from converting to another religion, bars the propagation of any religion other than Islam and requires all laws to comply with the general principles of sharia,” the U.S. Department of State reported.
Omar and her family had to flee Mogadishu, Somalia, after militias invaded, she told MSNBC News.
Once she entered Congress, Omar actually fought for more religious freedom, Voice of America News reported.
As a Muslim woman who wears a hijab, or head covering, when Omar first became a Representative, she sought to change the Congressional rule that stated that “every member shall remain uncovered during the sessions of the House.”
She stated at the time that she was exercising her first Amendment right of religious freedom.
No one puts a scarf on my head but me. It’s my choice—one protected by the first amendment.
And this is not the last ban I’m going to work to lift. https://t.co/7U3ZLTaWur
— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) November 17, 2018
Omar has also been behind other actions to promote freedom of religion, such as the Freedom of Religion Act in 2021, which is meant to “prohibit religious discrimination in our immigration system,” her website reported.
As a congresswoman who has been a proponent of religious freedom and outspoken about Muslims’ rights to religion, Omar’s comments about the Christians singing on the plane seemed out of place, as many critics pointed out on Twitter.
Some simply accused her of hating Christians and Jews, and even some Muslims.
Cicely Davis, who is running in Minnesota’s 5th District to “Defeat Ilhan Omar and Save Minneapolis,” tweeted, “The issue is you hate Christians & Jews & lots of Muslims.”
Qatar – a country you’re very familiar with – plays Islamic prayers on the intercom before takeoff on their planes. They have a designated prayer area & coordinates for Mecca are posted on the screens.
It’s no problem. The issue is you hate Christians & Jews & lots of Muslims. https://t.co/wBX1ycl5nv

Neither Omar herself or her office have responded to any of the comments and criticisms arising from her comments.

Mexican Woman Dies While Attempting to Scale Border Wall Built by Trump
Border Patrol agents discovered a woman dead and ensnared in a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border last week.
Agents called the local sheriff’s office around 11 p.m. on April 11 when they found the woman’s body near Douglas, Arizona.
The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that the woman “climbed onto the top of the International Border wall and when attempting to maneuver down on the US side via a harness similar to rappelling, her foot/leg became entangled and she was trapped upside down for a significant amount of time.”
Her name was not released, but she was described as a 32-year-old Mexican woman.
“Border Patrol Agents and local emergency services responded to the scene and located an individual who was transported to a local hospital,” a Customs and Border Protection spokesman said, according to ABC News. “Personnel from the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office and CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility are investigating.”
The sheriff’s office said the investigation was ongoing.
The section of the wall that the woman scaled was built during the Trump administration, Ricardo Pineda, head of the Mexican consulate in Douglas, told The Washington Post.
Made of tall, vertical steel posts placed inches apart, the wall is difficult to get over.
“That’s a part of the wall where the border bars are very high,” Pineda told the Post in Spanish.
It is not clear whether the woman was alone or with a group.
Pineda said it was likely that she had hired smugglers to help her get across the border.
This death on the wall comes amid a surge of migrants crossing the nation’s southern border.
CPB reported that border crossings hit a 22-year high last month, with authorities stopping migrants 221,303 times — a 33 percent increase from a month earlier.
The flood of illegal immigrants is expected to get even worse in May.
The Biden administration announced on April 1 that it was lifting Title 42, a section of public health law allowing many illegal migrants to be summarily expelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Title 42 authority was initially invoked under then-President Donald Trump in March 2020 and remained mostly in place under President Joe Biden.
Officials are bracing for an onslaught of immigrants when the provision’s enforcement expires on May 23.
As illegal border crossings increase, the dangers for migrants grow, as the death of the woman on the wall shows.
Sheriff Mark Dannels of Cochise County said the incident speaks to “a shared goal of border safety.”
“These types of incidents are not political, they are humanitarian realities that someone has lost a loved one in a senseless tragedy,” he said in a statement. “We have to do better in finding solutions to the challenges facing our border, and we have to do it for the right reasons.
“Regardless of opinions, it is the facts that should direct our progress and we will keep working towards a shared goal of border safety and security.”

Nizhny Novgorod, Russia based Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard (a company of the United Shipbuilding Corporation) says it launched yet another dry cargo carrier of Project RSD59 on 20 April 2022. The ship was ordered by State Transport Leasing Company (GTLK).
Mikhail Pershin, General Director of Krasnoye Sormovo, is going to suggest that the customers name one of their ships after Nikolay Zharkov, Ex-Director of the shipyard.
“The contribution of Nikolay Sergeyevich into creation of the nuclear-powered fleet and development of civil shipbuilding in Russia can hardly be overestimated. Under his leadership the shipyard turned into a well known company able to implement the most challenging tasks such as construction of lead ships of new designs,” he emphasized.
Following the launching the ship will be outfitted and sent for sea trials before delivery to the customer.
Vessels of Project RSD59 are designed for transportation of general and dry bulk cargo (including grain), bundled and round timber, metal scrap, metal coils, oversize/overweight cargo, coal and dangerous goods of B class in R2 navigation area with waves up to 3% and standing off a place of shelter within 100 miles (distance between shelters should not exceed 200 miles), inland waterways of Russia (with some restrictions).Key particulars of the ship: LOA – 141 m; Breadth – 16.98 m; Depth – 6 m; River/Sea draft – 3.6/4.5 m, number of holds – 2, endurance - 20/12 days.
Class notation: КМ Ice2 R2 АUT1-ICS CONT (deck, cargo holds Nos.1.2) DG (bulk, pack).
Project RSD59 designer is Marine Engineering Bureau – Design SPb.
Hero of Labor Nikolay Zharkov devoted 57 years of his life to Krasnoye Sormovo including 34 years when he was the head of the shipyard. Under his leadership, the company built 105 submarines including 26 with nuclear power units, as well as 25 deep-water rescue and work vehicles.
Krasnoye Sormovo PJSC is one of the oldest shipbuilding companies in Russia, founded in 1849. Throughout the 75-year period, more than three hundred submarines and rescue vehicles including 25 nuclear ones have been built and modernized by Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard. Today, Krasnoye Sormovo builds vessels of commercial fleet meeting the requirements of international conventions on reliability and safety. Some of Krasnoye Sormovo tankers are in the list of Significant Ships of the Year by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA).

EXCLUSIVE India's big industrial states plan massive coal imports to stave off shortages
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
NEW DELHI, April 21 (Reuters) - Three of India's most industrialised states plan to import 10.5 million tonnes of coal in coming months as officials scramble to arrest widespread power cuts, a move that could push global coal prices to new highs.
The scale of the purchases and the decision to go back on a plan to cut coal imports underscore the severity of the India's fuel crisis. Utilities' coal inventories are at the lowest pre-summer levels in at least nine years and electricity demand is seen rising at the fastest pace in at least 38 years.
Maharashtra plans to import 8 million tonnes for "blending purposes," while Gujarat will place orders for 1 million tonnes next week, the states' energy officials told the federal government on April 13, according to the minutes of the meeting reviewed by Reuters.

The chairman of the Tamil Nadu government-run utility said the state was targeting importing 20% of its coal requirements, adding that it had already placed orders to import 1.5 million tonnes, according to the meeting minutes.
The three states are the among the biggest power guzzlers in the country, cumulatively accounting for nearly a third of India's electricity demand in 2021.
Specific details on the states' import plans have not been previously reported. The cumulative imports planned by just the three states would be higher than annual imports by state government-run utilities for blending in at least 6 years.
The move by India, the world's second largest coal importer, could lead to a further increase in global prices, which are already trading near record highs due to fears of a supply crunch following the European Commission's decision to ban coal imports from Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.
Coal miners in South Africa, Australia and Indonesia are likely to be the main beneficiaries of India's buying spree, though those producers are already stretched by the recent spike in demand.
Russia is also a possible supply source, but costs are already high and buyers are likely to push for discounts, two traders said.
SHORTAGES, SOARING POWER DEMAND
India's federal government has also asked the state governments of Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana to import a total of 10 million tonnes of coal.
While Punjab has committed to import 625,000 tonnes, the other states have not detailed any plans, the meeting minutes showed.
Maharashtra's expected 8 million tonnes of coal imports will be in addition to the 2 million tonnes it had already ordered, for which delivery is expected on May 8.
India had previously asked state government-run utilities to import 4% of their coal requirements for blending, but subsequently suggested last week that imports be boosted to 10% of the quantity needed to address soaring power demand. read more
Federal government-run NTPC Ltd (NTPC.NS), the country's top electricity producer, plans to boost coal imports to the highest level in eight years, Reuters reported last month. read more
Many Indian states including Andhra Pradesh in the south, Maharashtra in the west and Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan in the north are already facing power cuts. read more
Utilities in Tamil Nadu have less than two days of rolling coal stock left on an average, while power plants in Maharashtra and Gujarat have about five days of inventory on an average. Federal guidelines recommend that states have at least 24 days of stock.
Officials have also decided to invoke an emergency clause in the country's electricity law to allow currently idled power plants designed to run on imported coal to pass on higher costs to distribution companies.
The move would facilitate operation of plants run by Adani Power (ADAN.NS), Essar Power, CLP India and IL&FS Tamil Nadu, which have sharply curbed power production due to high global prices, the minutes of the meeting showed.
