Butler: Fight with Filipino Sultan is for friend who died in car crash
CEBU CITY, Philippines — Despite the series of setbacks, former world champion, Paul “Baby Faced Assassin” Butler remains upbeat and dedicates his interim world title fight against Filipino Jonas Sultan to a friend who passed away recently.
The 33-year-old Butler was supposedly going to fight WBO world bantamweight champion Johnriel Casimero but the latter was replaced at the last minute by another Filipino in Sultan after Casimero violated the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) medical guidelines a few days before their fight on April 22, 2022.
In a statement from Probellum, Butler dedicates the fight to his friend, Ali Tazeem, who passed away from a vehicular accident earlier this week. The 18-year-old Tazeem was a boxing prospect who recently entered the professional boxing scene.
However, Tazeem died last Sunday due to a vehicular accident.
“I will be dedicating this fight to my friend Ali Tazeem who tragically died last week. I have been training with him since we came over to the UK to prepare for this fight and I am 100 percent focused on bringing the belt home to his family when I win on Friday night,” said Butler.
Sultan and Butler will square off at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, England on April 22, 2022 (April 23 Manila Time) for an interim world bantamweight title of the WBO.
Casimero was removed from the fight after violating the BBBofC’s medical guidelines for using sauna to shed off weight within the fight week.

This kind of setback didn’t happen for the first time as Casimero also withdraw from their fight last December after suffering from viral gastritis in Dubai, UAE.
Probellum replaced Casimero with Joseph Agbeko, but the bout was eventually scrapped. Probellum decided to reschedule the bout on April 22, but the incident involving Casimero happened.
On paper, Butler has more experience than Sultan with the record of 35 wins, 15 knockouts, and two defeats. Sultan sports a record of 18-5 (win-loss) with 11 knockouts.
However, Sultan remains a dangerous opponent despite being a last minute replacement. He has already defeated Casimero via unanimous decision last 2017 at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino for the world title eliminator.
Sultan earned a world title shot against former IBF world super flyweight champion Jerwin Ancajas who is now his current stablemate with MP Promotions.

Manchester United fans had very little to shout about at Anfield on Tuesday night, but for most it was nothing less than they expected.
United’s supporters are becoming all too used to the sort of lacklustre display that was offered up in the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool. Clashes between the old rivals are supposed to stir things up and produce gruelling encounters, even when one of the two sides aren’t at their best.
On Tuesday, though, the visitors produced the sort of insipid display that has summed up a dismal season at Old Trafford. Their plight was analysed by a forlorn Roy Keane in the Sky Sports studio, who had seemingly lost the will to produce one of his trademark animated rants.
ALSO READ: Hannibal Mejbri sends defiant message after explosive Manchester United cameo vs Liverpool FC
“I think it was anger at the start of the season, now I just think it is sadness,” he said. “You look at the team today, there was no heart, no soul, no leaders.
“They lacked quality, they were so far off. You look at the Manchester United fans, they don’t look surprised by the scoreline.
“It’s so sad to see because it is not the club I played for. It is not what Manchester United stood for when I played for them, it is just chalk and cheese. I don’t see a Manchester United team out there fighting or playing with pride.”
Keane’s comments about a lack of leaders in the United dressing room will no doubt resonate with supporters. Over the last few weeks they’ve witnessed a side seemingly just waiting for time to be called on the campaign.
However, there was one bright spark to warm the hearts of the travelling supporters at Anfield. Hannibal Mejbri’s late cameo brought back memories of some of the blood and thunder we’ve seen from encounters between United and Liverpool over the years.
In roughly 10 minutes on the pitch, the 19-year-old showed more determination than his teammates had in the rest of the game as he ploughed through Liverpool’s players, picking up a booking for his troubles and perhaps being lucky to escape further punishment. It was a performance that left Gary Neville feeling ‘proud’, and could well be the answer to Keane’s fears.
Hannibal’s performance won’t have come as a surprise to Nicky Butt. The ex-United midfielder coached the former Monaco youngster during his time with United’s academy and has already suggested the teenager can follow in Keane’s footsteps as a natural leader.
"Leaders are always looked at like a Roy Keane, a Steve Bruce, a Bryan Robson, those kinds of verbal, real aggression, real leaders,” Butt told the Manchester Evening News back in 2020. “And then you've got leaders like Paul Scholes or David Beckham or Ryan Giggs, who's quiet but really leads by example of how they play and how they work hard.
"We've got the old-fashioned leaders if you like, who are going to talk to the players and drive the team. Hannibal's a leader. The way he plays his football is 100mph, he's non-stop running up and down.”
United fans have called for Hannibal to get more game-time before the end of the season. If Butt’s comments are anything to go by, he could be just what they and Keane have been crying out for.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., April 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: AMPE), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the advancement of immunomodulatory therapies for the treatment of pain resulting from osteoarthritis in the knee and potentially other articular joints, today announced the receipt of written responses from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pursuant to a Type C meeting request submitted by the Company earlier in the year regarding the AP-013 trial results.
As previously disclosed, the Company submitted its Type C meeting request to gain clarity from the FDA regarding the acceptability of the proposed modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population as the primary analysis population for evaluating efficacy in the AP-013 trial, and the acceptability of AP-013 as a second pivotal trial to support a biologics license application (BLA) for Ampion.
FDA responded that it did not agree with the Company's proposed change from the ITT population to the mITT population for the primary endpoint analysis, that mITT is a substantive and material change to the Protocol and Statistical Analysis Plan that is not in accordance with the Special Protocol Assessment agreement, and that despite the COVID related impact on patients and trial centers, the Company should have sought FDA's agreement on these changes prior to analyzing and unblinding the data. FDA further stated that it did not agree that AP-013 could serve as a second pivotal trial for Ampion based on both the change in the analysis population and the analysis of pain only instead of the original prespecified co-primary endpoints.
"We are very disappointed in FDA's answer. Ampion has been in development for several years, and many shareholders have remained loyal to the company throughout the ups and downs of that development history. Severe osteoarthritis of the knee is an unmet medical need that affects nearly 17 million people in the United States, and we continue to believe that Ampion is a drug which can provide a safe and efficacious treatment for many of those patients. However, given the points in FDA's answer, it will be very difficult to salvage AP-013 itself as a pivotal trial. Nonetheless, we and our regulatory experts believe there may be ways to do that, and we will follow-up with the FDA in the near term to discuss those options," said Mike Martino Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Ampio. "However, I want to be clear. At this point, I believe the best path forward for Ampio and Ampion is likely conducting a new Phase 3 trial. This management team has learned a great deal from conducting and analyzing the prior trials, including AP-013, and believe we are positioned to design and execute a trial that can lead to BLA approval."

Man wins lawsuit over unwanted birthday party at work
COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) - A Kentucky man won a lawsuit against his employer over a birthday party he never wanted and may get nearly $500,000 as a result.
Kevin Berling worked at Gravity Diagnostics in Covington for about 10 months in 2019. Because he suffers from anxiety and panic attacks, Berling asked the company not to celebrate his birthday, as it does for most employees.
According to Berling’s lawsuit, the office manager forgot his request and threw a birthday party for him anyway, which triggered a panic attack.
When his bosses met with him the next day about the incident, Berling had another panic attack and was subsequently fired over concerns he could become angry and possibly violent. Berling’s lawyer, Tony Bucher, says violence wasn’t an issue, and his client uses coping mechanisms to calm himself down.
He adds the company apparently was more concerned about others than his client’s well-being.
“They started giving him a pretty hard time for his response to the birthday celebration, actually accusing him of stealing his co-workers’ joy,” Bucher said.
A jury sided with Berling in the case, awarding him $450,000 in damages that includes $300,000 for mental anguish. Bucher is planning to ask Gravity to pay legal fees as well.
The company could appeal the ruling.
Bucher says the suit wasn’t about the money but about Berling standing up for himself. He says his client is doing well but suffered from more attacks after the incident and is still in therapy.
He adds Berling had been a model employee and missed out on a huge opportunity as Gravity has seen massive growth, due to COVID-19 testing.

- A medical practitioner was surprised by her senior staff and bosses as she was gifted huge sums of money for her long service
- The nurse held back tears of joy as two doctors at the facility she works at handed her dollar bills in appreciation for her dedication
- She was so carried away as she received the money and all she could offer was hugs to her bosses for the kind gesture

A nurse was gifted KSh 2.3 million by senior staff at a medical facility she has worked at for over twenty years.
The shy medic was summoned to the reception where her colleagues had gathered before she was surprised with stacks of neatly bound notes.
She held back tears as her bosses handed her the currency in KSh 115,000 bundles for every year she has served the medical facility.
One of her bosses started off with an inaudible speech before taking out the notes from his pocket and handing the nurse over KSh 1 million.

The mother of one said she gifted her house girl cash, a smartphone and another feature phone for her mum along with a handbag so that she would not go home for Christmas empty-handed.

Joel Embiid scored a dagger three-pointer with 0.8 seconds left in overtime to lift the Philadelphia 76ers to a 104-101 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, taking a 3-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.
Embiid finished with 33 points and 13 rebounds, spoiling the first Raptors playoff action in Toronto in three years.
OG Anunoby had 26 points for the Raptors, who led by as many as 17 points. Gary Trent Jr., scored a career playoff high 24 points despite fighting an illness the past week.
Precious Achiuwa had 20 points, while Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet both had off nights, with just 12 points apiece for the Raptors, who were missing NBA rookie of the year finalist Scottie Barnes.

— x – Toronto Raptors (@Raptors) April 20, 2022
The Raptors raced out to an early 17-point lead, finally looking like the team that won 14 of 18 games down the stretch. They shot 52.4 per cent in the first half and pestered Philly into 15 turnovers.
But the Raptors went flat in the third quarter, shooting just 1-for-7 from behind the arc, and when Embiid connected on a free throw with 5.5 seconds left in the frame, the Sixers had pulled to within 75-74 with one quarter to play.
Neither team led by more than three points in a hard-fought fourth quarter before VanVleet found Anunoby in the corner for a long bomb, and Achiuwa scored on a putback for a five-point cushion with two minutes to play.
Harden’s free throw with 49.7 seconds left tied the game. The former NBA MVP fouled out of the game 20 seconds later, cheered off the floor by the raucous crowd.
Achiuwa missed a pair of free throws with 27.2 seconds left, but Toronto locked down on the defensive end to force an extra period with the game tied 95-95.
In the extra period, Anunoby hit a clutch basket as the shot clock sounded for a one-point lead with 2:58 to play, but Embiid replied to put Philly back up. Embiid fouled Anunoby with 26.2 seconds left, and scored on one of his two free throws while a livid Sixers coach Doc Rivers raged at the official.
Green inbounded the ball with 2.6 seconds left and Embiid hit the winner to send Raptors fans home heartbroken.
The Raptors should get reinforcements for Game 4. Coach Nick Nurse expects Barnes, who sprained his left ankle in Game 1, to play Saturday. The finalist for rookie of the year wasn’t wearing a walking boot on the bench Wednesday, and was on his feet cheering for much of the game.

The Raptors hadn’t made a playoff appearance in Toronto since Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals, a one-point loss to Golden State that was memorable for Kevin Durant’s ruptured Achilles tendon.
COVID-19 forced the 2020 season to finish in the NBA bubble at Disneyworld, and the Raptors were exiled in Tampa, Fla., last season due to border restrictions. A COVID outbreak in March of last season saw them somersault down the standings to finish 12th, the only year they’ve missed the playoffs in the past nine seasons.
The 76ers cruised to easy wins in Games 1 and 2, by scores of 131-11 and 112-97.
The Raptors jumped out to an early 10-point lead on Wednesday, forcing the Sixers to commit nine turnovers in the first quarter alone. Philadelphia turned the ball over just four times in all of Game 1.
Anunoby had 10 points in the frame and his three-pointer with 31 seconds left sent the Raptors into the second quarter up 29-19.
Toronto opened the second with a 9-2 run to go up by 17 points, but the Sixers battled back and Harden’s driving layup with 1:40 left cut the difference to just six points.
The quarter had some heated moments. VanVleet was whistled for a foul, and then a technical for angrily arguing the call after Embiid fell out of bounds as if blown over by a gust of wind.
Green picked up a technical for arguing a call, and it took a couple of two-handed chest shoves from Harden to get Green to head toward Philadelphia’s bench.
Game 5, if necessary, would be played Monday in Philadelphia.

Highlights
- BJP fact finding-committee submitted its report and recommendations to party chief Nadda
- "Administration and TMC goons destroyed all the evidence," committee noted
- Fact-finding committee was constituted to ascertain details of rape, murder of minor girl in Bengal
BJP's five-member fact-finding committee constituted by party chief J.P. Nadda to ascertain details of rape and murder of a minor girl in West Bengal's Hanskhali has recommended imposition of Article 355 and 356 in the state citing deteriorating law and order situation. The committee submitted its report and recommendations to party chief Nadda. "In view of deteriorating law and order and increasing incidents of rape in the state, imposition of Article 355 and 356 is very necessary," the committee recommended. It also suggested that the trial of the case be held in some other state so that the victim's family gets justice.
"Strict action in this incident will create fear among the TMC goons and it will generate people's confidence in the central government, and law and order," the committee said. It claimed that it is not possible for the kin of the victim to get justice from the West Bengal government, as the accused is the son of a ruling TMC leader. "Chief minister Mamata Banerjee is trying to cover up the incident. Administration and TMC goons destroyed all the evidence. Neither the post-mortem was allowed nor a death certificate was issued," it noted.
The controversy over the rape of a minor girl, who died later, at Hanskhali in Nadia district of West Bengal took a more debatable turn after Chief Minister Banerjee gave a "love-angle" twist to the incident. "What has happened is not right. I condemn it. The police have arrested the accused. But the opposition parties and a section of the media are trying to give a political twist to the entire event. I have received the news that there was a love affair between the accused and the victim. So why come to a conclusion before the investigation is completed," the chief minister had said.
The members of the committee are: Lok Sabha member and national vice-president Rekha Verma, cabinet minister in Uttar Pradesh government Baby Rani Maurya, member of Tamil Nadu assembly and nation president of party women wing Vanathi Srinivasan, special invitee national executive committee Kushbu Sunder and member West Bengal Assembly Sreerupa Mitra Choudhury.

Mumbai: BJP leaders protest outside police station demanding action over attack on party vehicle
- Country:
- India
Hundreds of BJP workers staged a protest outside a police station in the eastern suburb of Chembur here on Thursday, demanding the immediate arrest of persons who vandalized the party's 'Pol Khol' rath during a campaign two days ago, police said. Senior BJP leaders Pravin Darekar, Ashish Shelar, and Mangal Prabhat Lodha among others took part in the agitation. The party leaders also had a meeting with senior officials of the Mumbai police at the Additional Commissioner's office.
According to the police, a case was registered against unidentified persons after a civic poll campaign vehicle of the BJP fashioned as a rath was vandalized in the Cheetah Camp area in the early hours of Tuesday.
The 'Pol Khol' (exposure of corruption) vehicle was parked by a road and the shattered windscreen, caused by the pelting of a stone, was noticed in the morning, it was stated.
BJP workers holding placards shouted slogans against the state government during the protest outside the Chembur police station, demanding immediate arrest of the culprits, officials said.
Two people have been detained in the case but no arrests have been made so far, he said, adding that two teams have been formed to crack the case.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis reiterated that the BJP will continue its 'Pol Khol' campaign against the Shiv Sena-controlled Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) irrespective of the attack on the vehicle.
Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Fadnavis said, "The BJP will continue its 'Pol-Khol campaign against the Sena-controlled BMC. Irrespective of the number of times we get attacked, we will not step back.
If the police fail to protect the BJP and its campaign, their misdeeds will be exposed as well, he said.
The former chief minister said the BJP was exposing the corrupt practices in the civic body, which is controlled by the Sena. It has unsettled the party and its leaders. The attack indicates that the rulers of the BMC are frightened.
Talking about the communal tension in the Amravati district, Fadnavis said, "The police are acting like the British who used to crush the freedom fighters. The government and some ministers are trying to pamper a particular community, which is fueling the communal tensions in Amravati." The police should intervene and prevent any law and order situation in Amravati, he said.
Reacting to the MVA constituents, Shiv Sena, NCP, and Congress, attacking MNS chief Raj Thackeray, Fadnavis said, "When Raj was critical of the BJP ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, these people were elated. Today, Raj is critical of the state government, so they are attacking him. The BJP does not need any proxy to carry out its agenda."

Man wins lawsuit over unwanted birthday party at work
COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) - A Kentucky man won a lawsuit against his employer over a birthday party he never wanted and may get nearly $500,000 as a result.
Kevin Berling worked at Gravity Diagnostics in Covington for about 10 months in 2019. Because he suffers from anxiety and panic attacks, Berling asked the company not to celebrate his birthday, as it does for most employees.
According to Berling’s lawsuit, the office manager forgot his request and threw a birthday party for him anyway, which triggered a panic attack.
When his bosses met with him the next day about the incident, Berling had another panic attack and was subsequently fired over concerns he could become angry and possibly violent. Berling’s lawyer, Tony Bucher, says violence wasn’t an issue, and his client uses coping mechanisms to calm himself down.
He adds the company apparently was more concerned about others than his client’s well-being.
“They started giving him a pretty hard time for his response to the birthday celebration, actually accusing him of stealing his co-workers’ joy,” Bucher said.
A jury sided with Berling in the case, awarding him $450,000 in damages that includes $300,000 for mental anguish. Bucher is planning to ask Gravity to pay legal fees as well.
The company could appeal the ruling.
Bucher says the suit wasn’t about the money but about Berling standing up for himself. He says his client is doing well but suffered from more attacks after the incident and is still in therapy.
He adds Berling had been a model employee and missed out on a huge opportunity as Gravity has seen massive growth, due to COVID-19 testing.

KYIV, Ukraine -- A senior Ukrainian official is demanding that the Russian military open a humanitarian corridor from the Azovstal steel plant, the last Ukrainian stronghold in the strategic port city of Mariupol.
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Thursday on the messaging app Telegram that "there are about 1,000 civilians and 500 wounded soldiers there. They all need to be pulled out of Azovstal today!"
Vereshchuk called on "world leaders and the international community to focus their efforts now on Azovstal." She said it was a "key point and a key moment for humanitarian efforts."

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
BERLIN -- Official figures from Germany show that the country's exports to Russia plunged in March as a result of the invasion of Ukraine.
The Federal Statistical Office said on Thursday that exports to Russia were down 57.5% compared with a year earlier, at 1.1 billion euros ($1.2 billion), as a result of sanctions and other decisions by companies.
That left Russia as the No. 12 destination outside the European Union for German exports, compared with No. 5 in February.
Germany has Europe's biggest economy.

BEIJING — A Russian news outlet is reporting that 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.
RBC reported Wednesday that UnionPay's decision affects Sberbank, Russia's biggest commercial bank, and smaller institutions. 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.

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his forces not to storm the last remaining Ukrainian stronghold in the besieged city of Mariupol but to block it "so that not even a fly comes through."
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told Putin on Thursday that the sprawling Azovstal steel plant where Ukrainian forces were holed up was "securely blocked" while the rest of the city was "liberated," which Putin hailed as "success."
Leaving the plant in Ukrainian hands, however, robs the Russians of the ability to declare complete victory in Mariupol. The city's capture has both strategic and symbolic importance.
___
LONDON — Britain's defense ministry says Russian forces in Ukraine are advancing from staging areas in the Donbas region toward the city of Kramatorsk, which is the target of "persistent" rocket attacks.
In an intelligence update posted Thursday morning, the ministry says Russian forces may increase the intensity and forcefulness of operations in Ukraine as the Kremlin seeks to demonstrate "significant successes" before the annual Victory Day celebrations on May 9, which commemorate the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945.
The ministry also reports "high levels" of activity by Russian air forces as they provide close air support to the offensive in eastern Ukraine and try to suppress Ukraine's air defenses.

KYIV, Ukraine — Kyiv regional police said Thursday two mass graves with nine bodies were discovered the day before in the city of Borodyanka northwest of the Ukrainian capital.
Head of the Kyiv regional police Andriy Nebytov said two women and a teenager were among the "civilians killed by the Russian occupants."
"I want to stress that these people are civilians. The Russian military deliberately shot civilians that didn't put up any resistance and didn't pose any threat," Nebytov said, adding that some of the victims were apparently tortured.
All of the bodies were transported to the morgues of the Kyiv region for further forensic study.

MADRID — Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Denmark's Mette Frederiksen have arrived in Kyiv to meet with the Ukrainian President, Sánchez's office has announced.
The three leaders will be holding a press conference later Thursday in the Ukrainian capital, it said in a statement.
"I look forward to the meeting with Zelenskyy, where my message will be that Denmark will continue to help Ukraine," Frederiksen said in a statement announcing her arrival in Kyiv Thursday. "The West stands together to support the Ukrainian people."
Frederiksen is the first Nordic leader to travel to Kyiv since Russia began its invasion Feb. 24.
Sánchez's office had announced earlier this week that the prime minister would travel to Ukraine following the visits by several European leaders, but officials had cited security concerns to avoid specifying the visit's exact date.
Spain has also announced that it will reopen its embassy in the Ukrainian capital after closing it down within hours of the Russian invasion on Feb. 24.

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk says only four buses evacuating civilians were able to leave Mariupol on Wednesday.
In a short statement on the messaging app Telegram, Vereshchuk said that the effort to evacuate women, children and the elderly will continue on Thursday. She warned that "the security situation remains difficult."

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine's General Staff said Thursday in their morning update that the Russian forces continue the offensive in the east of the country with the goal of establishing full control over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
The Ukrainian forces in the two regions have repelled nine Russian attacks over the past 24 hours, destroying one tank, 10 armored units and two vehicles, one artillery system, two special engineering units, an anti-aircraft missile system and an ammunition depot, according to the update posted on the General Staff's Facebook page.
The Russian military also continue "to launch missile and bomb strikes on military and civilian infrastructure throughout Ukraine," the General Staff said.
Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, is being shelled and partially blocked.
In the southern Kherson region, which Russia has claimed to fully control, the Russian military "plan to organize the forced mobilization of the population for war with Ukraine," as well as cut off "humanitarian support of the region from the Ukrainian authorities," the General Staff said.
___
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is set to announce plans Thursday to send additional military aid to help Ukraine fight back against the Russian invasion, according to a U.S. official.
The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Biden will deliver a Thursday morning address at the White House detailing his plans to build on the roughly $2.6 billion in military assistance the administration has already approved for Ukraine.
The new package is expected to be similar in size to the $800 million package Biden announced last week. It includes much-needed heavy artillery and ammunition for Ukrainian forces in the escalating battle for the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.
Earlier this week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also said his country will send heavy artillery to Ukraine. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the Netherlands will send more heavy weapons, including armored vehicles.

LVIV, Ukraine — The Luhansk governor said Russian forces now control 80% of the region, which is one of two regions that make up the Donbas in eastern Ukraine.
One of Russia's stated goals is to expand the territory in the Donbas under the control of Moscow-backed separatists.
Before Russia invaded on Feb. 24, the Kyiv government controlled 60% of the Luhansk region.
Gov. Serhiy Haidai said the Russians, who renewed their offensive this week in eastern and southern Ukraine, have strengthened their attacks in the Luhansk region.
After seizing Kreminna, Haidai said the Russians now are threatening the cities of Rubizhne and Popasna and he has urged all residents to evacuate immediately.
The Donetsk region, also part of the Donbas, has seen extremely heavy fighting as well, particularly around the port city of Mariupol.

KHARKIV, Ukraine — Some residents of the eastern city of Kharkiv have been living in basements for weeks, hoping to stay safe from Russian shelling. With no running water, gas or electricity, they collect rainwater and cook on open fires, burning debris from wooden buildings destroyed by the shelling.
In the Saltivka neighborhood, some have sought shelter in a school basement, where they have used school desks, tables and chairs to make beds. More than 300 people slept in the shelter in the first days of the war, but most have left for safer places. Now, only a few dozen remain.
As she stirred a large pot of a thin vegetable soup, a woman said volunteers brought them cabbage, beets and canned beans.
"We mixed everything together and made borsht," said Natasha, who gave only her first name.
Another woman pointed up at her damaged apartment. "All the windows and doors were blown off, but the walls held up," said the woman, who gave only her first name, Larisa.

The prediction also suggests that drizzle and gusty winds with a speed of 20-40 Km/h would also occur over and adjoining areas of entire Delhi and NCR
According to the International Meteorological Department (IMD), the maximum temperature is likely to hover around 39 degrees Celsius on Thursday.
The weatherman has already predicted a generally cloudy sky with very light on Thursday in the NCR.
As per IMD, this change in weather is due to the influence of a Western Disturbance over the northwest Himalayan region.
Though it had made a similar forecast of light rain/thundershowers for Wednesday, no station in Delhi-NCR recorded any of it.
The heatwave condition is likely to abate due to an approaching western disturbance, wind conditions and cloudiness over the region, IMD added. Delhi's humidity oscillated between 31% and 17%, the weather department said on Wednesday.
"Relief is expected as there is a possibility of thunderstorm activity around April 21 and 22. More activity is possible on April 21. This is because of an approaching western disturbance approaching and a circulation over Haryana and adjoining areas. Wind pattern will also change," a SkymetWeather report said.
Safdarjung Observatory, the base station for Delhi had recorded the maximum temperature of 41.2 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, which was 3 notches above normal. Other stations recorded a maximum temperature in the range of 40.6 degrees Celsius (SPS Mayur Vihar) to 43.5 degrees Celsius (Gurugram) in Delhi NCR.
On Tuesday, eight out of 12 stations in the national capital recorded maximum temperatures of more than 43 degrees Celsius, making it the warmest in terms of spatial spread of heatwave to a severe heatwave in Delhi-NCR. | https://zeenews.india.com/india/good-news-delhi-light-to-moderate-rainfall-expected-today-in-ncr-details-here-2455841.html | 2022-04-21T09:10:54Z | https://zeenews.india.com/india/good-news-delhi-light-to-moderate-rainfall-expected-today-in-ncr-details-here-2455841.html | true | 1 |
Shafaq News/ The Ministry of Peshmerga clarified what was circulated in some media about the cooperation and participation of its forces in the Turkish operations on the border areas.
In a statement, the Ministry denounces what some media outlets reported about the participation of Peshmerga alongside the Turkish army in its military operations against PKK, indicating that "the open-eyed Peshmerga are on the defensive fronts, and will not allow any other region to be affected by the conflicts."
"The Kurdish people paid the price of regional conflicts for many years and suffered damage; the sovereignty of the Kurdistan Region and Iraq must be respected." The Ministry concluded.
Earlier this week, the Turkish Defense Ministry launched an action called "Operation Claw Lock" to "prevent terror attacks" and ensure border security following an assessment that the PKK was planning a large-scale attack.
Turkey regularly launches air strikes into northern Iraq, a region where it has repeatedly sent commandos to support its offensives.
The PKK took up arms against the Turkish state in 1984. More than 40,000 people have been killed in the conflict, which in the past was mainly focused on southeast Turkey.
PKK is designated a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States, and the European Union.
The Iraqi Presidency said that the Turkish military operation on the Iraqi borders in the Kurdistan Region violates Iraqi sovereignty.
"We follow up the Turkish military operations on the Iraqi borders in the Kurdistan Region with great concern. The frequent operations without coordination with the Iraqi federal is unacceptable." the spokesperson for the Presidency said in a statement.
"Iraqi sovereignty must be respected."
The official statement stressed that Iraq rejects using its land as a field of conflict with others, threatening its security and internal stability.
In turn, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the military operation.
The spokesperson for the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, Ahmed Al-Sahaf, said that Iraq has the right to use all "sources of force" in response to Turkey's military operation.
In a statement, he said, "the Iraqi Foreign Ministry considered the military operations on Iraqi territory a blatant violation of Iraq's sovereignty, and they threaten the security of Iraqi citizens."
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Turkey's ambassador and handed him a protest note, describing the military operations as unilateral and hostile…so far, we did not receive a response."
"The Turkish side gave excuses to its operations, saying they aim to defend its national security."
He pointed out that "the Iraqi government stressed the importance of strengthening the principles of good-neighborliness, due to the historical and economic relations between the two countries."
In this regard, "Iraq has the right to use all sources of power at the bilateral, multilateral and international organizations based on the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of International Laws." Al-Sahaf said. | https://www.shafaq.com/en/Kurdistan/Peshmerga-forces-do-not-participate-in-the-operations-against-PKK-the-Ministry-confirms | 2022-04-21T09:12:56Z | https://www.shafaq.com/en/Kurdistan/Peshmerga-forces-do-not-participate-in-the-operations-against-PKK-the-Ministry-confirms | false | 1 |
An independent living specialist which operates in West Lothian is celebrating its 50th year of helping disabled and older people to live longer, healthier, independent lives.
Since 1972, Blackwood has been providing specialist homes and services aimed at maximising independent living – with innovation being a key driving force.
Now Blackwood, which has services across 28 local authority areas in Scotland, will be hosting a bumper calendar of activities, events and projects for staff, customers, stakeholder and the wider community during 2022.
Julie McDowell, Blackwood’s board chair, said: “As an organisation our purpose is to help people live independently and we invest in innovation to make sure we can help people to benefit from new technology developments so that they can have choice and control over how they live.
“To celebrate our remarkable half century, we’ll be looking back to see how far our service has actually transformed – which is going to be exciting - as well as providing a blueprint for Scotland for the next 50 years so that our population can live longer and more independently.
“We’ll also be paying tribute throughout the year to Dr Margaret Blackwood who played a significant role in revolutionising independent living for disabled people.
“It will be great to engage with customers, staff, stakeholders and communities while we celebrate this milestone.”
Activities ongoing throughout the year include community events, bucket list challenges, podcasts and many more.
With the pandemic limiting social interaction over the past two years, chief executive Fanchea Kelly, is looking forward to bringing the Blackwood community together.
The celebrations kicked off with World Physical Activity Day and the ‘Let’s Move Together’ event to encourage customers and staff to move more and increase physical activity. The event was made up of online and in person activity sessions, including tai chi, virtual flash mob dancing and ping pong.
She said: “This is an incredibly big milestone year for Blackwood and one we are looking forward to celebrating with our entire community.
“Throughout the year we will be hosting a variety of activities and events – there will also be lots of projects to celebrate our history and how we contribute to shaping independent living in the future.
“There is a lot of exciting work underway at Blackwood which will come to fruition this year.
“That means we will be able to increase our capacity to meet the growing needs of local people in the communities where we operate. With that said, our first priority will always be our existing residents and the quality of the services they receive. The housing and care sector has gone through a tremendous change since we started, especially with advances in digital technology.
“We want to ensure Blackwood is at the forefront of what the next 50 years will bring.”
The charity’s vision has remained consistent with what founder Dr Margaret Blackwood set out years ago - “helping people live their life to the full”.
Dr Blackwood was a campaigner for the rights and independence of disabled people while raising awareness about a lack of suitably adapted homes.
Today, Blackwood continues to invest in innovation to develop a modern standard for accessible homes, combining technology, modern construction, and engagement with people who live with a disability to design and produce beautiful, easy to use homes.
Technology modernisation has seen the installation of a digital care system, CleverCogs alongside the launch of the bespoke “Blackwood House”, which is a cutting-edge design combining technology and modern construction to meet customer’s changing needs.

Taiwan investigates local TV network after it aired false reports of Chinese invasion
By Eric Cheung, CNN
The Taiwanese government is investigating a local TV news station after it aired alarming false reports of a Chinese invasion against the self-ruled island.
During a Wednesday morning newscast on the government-affiliated Chinese Television System (CTS), part of the public Taiwan Broadcasting System, the network ran several fictional news tickers about China firing missiles toward the capital Taipei.
“New Taipei City has been hit by missiles from the communist military; Taipei port has exploded, facilities and ships have been damaged,” one of the news tickers read. “It is suspected that enemy agents have arsonized and planted explosives at Banqiao train station.”
Another ticker said, “The Chinese communists have stepped up their preparations for a war, and (Taiwan’s) President has issued an emergency order.”
The erroneous reports come as Taipei expresses concerns over China’s potential military moves against the island following Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Communist-ruled China says Taiwan — a democratic island of 23 million people — is an inalienable part of its territory, despite never having ruled it.
Communist authorities in Beijing have refused to rule out the use of force to gain control of Taiwan and have been pressuring the island militarily, flying warplanes into its air defense identification zone, and staging naval drills around it.
Last week, China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) held joint combat readiness drills around Taiwan as a group of six bipartisan United States lawmakers met Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen in Taipei.
US support for Taiwan, especially through weapons sales, has angered Beijing.
Taiwan maintains it is determined to defend itself from all forms of aggression. Last week, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry issued a civil defense handbook detailing how residents should react in the event of a military conflict.
Wednesday, after the false reports flashed on screen, CTS issued a public apology and said the messages were created for use during fire service drills and were not meant to air to the public.
The network had also run news tickers falsely claiming that there had been panic buying across Taiwan due to the military conflict and that a magnitude 7 earthquake had taken place in New Taipei City.
In a public apology issued later on Wednesday, CTS said, “Besides urgently clarifying and apologizing to our audience through our anchors, CTS has also broadcast our apology on our different channels. We have also punished relevant personnel, supervisors and managers for dereliction of duty.”
The erroneous report was widely shared on social media platforms, with some calling for the TV station to be investigated.
Taiwan’s National Communications Commission said in a statement that CTS is suspected of breaking laws on disturbing public order. It said it is launching an investigation into the incident.
The commission said it has received 10 complaints from viewers, adding the network could be fined up to 2 million NTD (US $68,530) for its violations.
Taiwan’s Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng said in Parliament on Wednesday that he had been “surprised” by the incident and urged the public to verify information before making comments.
“This is a good lesson for our friends in the media industry,” he said.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau often comments that diversity is Canada's strength but those willing to fan violent flames of Islamophobia are on the rise.
The 9/11 attack on the US ignited hate in Canada, culminating in the horrific 2017 Quebec mosque attack where a lone gunman killed six Muslims and wounded 19 during evening prayers.
While most Canadians and all levels of government condemned the killings at the mosque, another shocking attack took place when a man deliberately drove his truck into a Muslim family out for a stroll on June 6, 2021, in London, Ontario.
Three generations of a family died -- including a husband, wife, daughter and grandmother - leaving a 9-year-old boy orphaned.
Canada is the world's second-largest country, with a sparse population of about 38 million. But the seeds of racism are sown in all of its 10 provinces -- particularly in the most heavily populated provinces of Ontario and Quebec -- and Far North territories. Those seeds are growing.
"Throughout the years, Islamophobia in Canada has increased drastically," Fatema Abdalla, communications coordinator for the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), said in an email to Anadolu Agency.
"Existing both in its systemic and violent forms. We've seen a number of attacks on the Muslim community, including the shooting at the Quebec City Mosque, the attack outside of the IMO (International Muslim Organization mosque) in Toronto, the killing of the Our London Family, as well as ongoing threats and attacks, to primarily Black Muslim women in Alberta.
"Canada is the leading country, when it comes to the number of people who have been killed in the last 5 years because of Islamophobia, amongst all G7 countries," she said.
The NCCM, Canada's largest Muslim organization, said enough and it lobbied Trudeau for a national summit on Islamophobia and made recommendations to combat surging hate.
The lobbying has worked -- to a point.
In the aftermath of the London atrocity, Trudeau initiated the summit that was attended by all three levels of government -- federal, provincial and grassroots municipal -- and Muslim organizations and individuals. The prime minister issued a clarion call for Canadians to eradicate hate.
"Because right now, we do have to fight for the kind of Canada we all want to see," he told those in attendance at the virtual summit. "A place where we celebrate diversity, where we stand together, where we look out for each other.
"Together, we can stand against Islamophobia and that's exactly what we'll keep doing," he said.
Trudeau referenced the Quebec City mosque attack.
"As a country, we cannot forget why Jan. 29 is now the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action Against Islamophobia," he said. "We must remember the tragedies that have happened and constantly recommit ourselves to giving no ground to hate."
There is a wrinkle in hate crimes. Statistics Canada reported that in 2019 hate crimes targeting race and ethnicity increased a staggering 80%. But while the perception is that Muslims, whose population was slightly more than 1 million in Canada as of 2017, were the primary target, that is not necessarily true.
Canada does lead the G-7 in hate-motivated killings of Muslims, but those instigated against them declined in 2020 after a 9% increase in 2019.
"Police-reported hate crimes targeting religion declined 16% from 613 incidents in 2019 to 515 incidents in 2020," according to a Statistics Canada compilation of police-reported hate crimes in 2020.
But in 2020, police reported 2,669 criminal incidents motived by hate, the largest number ever recorded since data became available in 2009. The Statistics Canada report was released March 17, 2022.
"This decrease was primarily due to fewer hate crimes targeting the Muslim population, which declined from 182 to 82 incidents in 2020 (-55%). Hate crimes against the Jewish population rose slightly in 2020, from 306 to 321 incidents (+5%)."
Some of it is no doubt attributable to the rise of the coronavirus and the shift of some hate incidents to the Asian community -- the virus is perceived as coming from China. And it reflects only those crimes reported to police. Experts believe many more incidents are not reported to authorities.
And there is no doubt that hate crimes against Muslims are the most violent, as reflected by the Quebec mosque shootings and the London incident and a recent attack in Toronto.
On April 16, six worshipers were injured in a drive-by shooting outside a Toronto mosque, as reported by Anadolu Agency. Authorities have increased security at mosques and community centers.
But there is hope.
Leading members of minority Muslim-, Black- and Asian-Canadians communities were encouraged to see the recent Trudeau government's 2022 budget include CAN$85 million (US$69 million) over four years to fund a "national action plan" to address racism.
Mustafa Farooq, the NCCM chief executive officer, said the budget allocation demonstrated that combatting Islamophobia was no longer just words, but finally resulted in action. | https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2022/04/21/increased-attacks-against-muslims-indicate-islamophobia-rooted-in-canada | 2022-04-21T09:51:32Z | https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2022/04/21/increased-attacks-against-muslims-indicate-islamophobia-rooted-in-canada | true | 3 |
Daniel Radcliffe’s favorite movies are as different as they seem
In the world of movie franchises, few are bigger or more popular than Harry Potter. The worldwide success of the series made Daniel Radcliffe an international superstar, which had its own side effects. He always wanted to be an actor and apart from a couple of previous roles, the Potter The series brought Radcliffe childhood fame that has lasted into adulthood. Playing Potter it changed his life, but all eight films in the series are not on Radcliffe’s list of favorite films.
The ‘Harry Potter’ movies aren’t on Radcliffe’s list of favorite movies
The role of Harry Potter brought instant fame to Radcliffe. He feels honored to have played the role, but at the same time, he has no interest in playing Potter again. He is even reluctant to see Potterrelated fee.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a play that began its career before the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, is slowly making its way back to the stage. However, the idea of the original Harry Potter Watching a Potter he finds the adaptation strange, so he doesn’t plan to watch it.
the cursed child could potentially be made into a movie. Radcliffe has said that the demand for him to return to the role is that JK Rowling not be involved. On the contrary, he has also stated that she has no interest in reprising the role in cursed child.
Radcliffe loved directing. Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuarón took on the series, and has fond memories of Chamber of Secrets. But Radcliffe’s favorite movies don’t include Camera or any other Potter films.
Radcliffe’s favorite movies include a British Golden Age movie and a teen romantic comedy.
we know the Potter the movies don’t measure up to Radcliffe’s favorite movies. So what does he do?
In a discussion with Wired (via YouTube), Radcliffe mentioned a movie that was released decades before he was born, as well as a teen rom-com that was released around the same time. Harry potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
There is a movie called A matter of life and death. It was made by, like, [Michael] Powell and [Emeric] Pressburger in 1952,” Radcliffe said. “It’s this magical, realistic story about a fighter pilot who gets shot down in the [English] Channel, but then he is missed by the angels in the chaos of war. So he has to go to heaven to prove that he should be allowed to continue living. It’s so imaginative and fun.”
A matter of life and deathwhich, according to IMDb, is more commonly known as Stairway to Heavenit actually came out in 1946. It stars David Niven and Kim Hunter, with Sir Richard Attenborough also appearing.
Fast-forward 55 years, and you have another of Radcliffe’s favorite films, one that features some of his contemporaries among a strong cast.
“As far as the movies I’ve re-watched the most, it’s probably the Ben Foster-directed teen movie. Get overRadcliffe said. “It was one of the first movies where my girlfriend and I got together. It’s an amazing cast. Ben Foster, Kirsten Dunst, Mila Kunis, Colin Hanks, a lot of people are into it. Martin Short is amazing in it. Great movie.”
Zoe Saldana, Swoosie Kurtz and Ed Begley Jr. are also part of the cast.
Radcliffe has acted in almost 30 films since his first role.
Radcliffe has nearly 30 movies on his resume, not counting his turn as Weird Al Yankovic in Weird: The Al Yankovic Storywhich began filming in early 2022. But her passion for acting extends beyond the big screen.
Radcliffe’s first role was as Young David in a BBC production of David Copperfield. Her first film role came in The tailor of Panamawhich was released a few months before Harry potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
However, film work is only part of Radcliffe’s acting repertoire.
He has worked on stage several times, according to his IMDb profile. that includes How to Succeed in Business Without Really Tryingwhich ran for nearly a year on Broadway.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has called on the international community to fight the pandemic together, highlighting the accessibility of vaccines.
"We need to work together to defend people's lives and health," the state and party leader said in a speech at the Bo'ao Asian Economic Forum in southern China on Thursday.
"For humanity to clinch a final victory against the Covid-19 pandemic, more hard efforts are needed. It is essential that countries support each other, better coordinate response measures and improve global public health governance, so as to form strong international synergy against the pandemic," Xi added.
"We must keep Covid vaccines a global public good and ensure their accessibility and affordability in developing countries," he added.
In his speech, Xi did not directly address the situation in China, which is currently experiencing the worst coronavirus wave since the pandemic began.

The Grand Junction City Council is talking about a rec center again and we’re glad to hear it. Now seems like the right time to get this project moving forward.
The council has, after nearly a year of discussions, developed ordinances that will allow it to approve retail marijuana stores in the city. That had to happen first, since revenue from the sales tax generated in those stores will help fund the rec center. It will have to go to voters to get whatever funding is needed beyond that revenue.
In preparation for this, the city conducted another survey to get a better idea of where residents would like this potential rec center to be located. The survey, which was conducted by the Colorado Mesa University Social Research Center and the Franklin & Marshall College Center for Opinion Research, was distributed from Feb. 2 through Feb. 21 and garnered 1,286 responses, according to reporting by The Daily Sentinel’s Sam Klomhaus.
The results were pretty clear, with most respondents saying Matchett Park was the best location. We have to agree for a number of reasons.
It’s located off Patterson Road near a lot of residential areas, making it easy to get to for many city residents. It’s also an area that doesn’t have much park space nearby.
Even for people who don’t live in that area of the city, the location on Patterson near 29 Road makes it easy to get to and when the 29 Road interchange is eventually built, that accessibility will be even greater.
We also think Matchett Park gives the city the opportunity to not only add an indoor facility, but also to develop more athletic field space, which is sorely needed. By building the rec center there, it will make building out the park as a whole a bigger priority. In addition to field space, there’s the opportunity to formalize the trail system that exists there as well.
A new regional park would draw in people from other communities and deliver an economic benefit beyond a rec center alone.
There are downsides to Matchett as well and the council may decide Lincoln Park is their preferred location.
Lincoln Park would likely be cheaper since there is already a developed park there with utilities nearby and roads and parking in place (though they’d likely have to expand the parking lot). It’s closer to downtown, so some may consider it more accessible.
“If we end up as a city, if Matchett’s too expensive for us or if there are other reasons that we end up looking at Lincoln, I don’t want the community to come back to us and say ‘well we very clearly said Matchett and you guys aren’t listening to us,’ ” Council Member Anna Stout said.
Those are fair considerations and the council was right to keep their options open for now.
Ultimately, if there is no fatal flaw with Matchett, we don’t think there is a good reason to pick Lincoln, especially when the survey results showed residents favor Matchett as well.
Lincoln Park already has a lot going for it with many happy users of the park.
Developing Matchett is a bolder project that would do far more to enhance the community, in our opinion. We’d urge the council to keep the big picture in mind. | https://www.gjsentinel.com/opinion/editorials/matchett-makes-the-most-sense/article_d816b9b6-c0fb-11ec-ab70-97b72bce51ae.html | 2022-04-21T09:54:15Z | https://www.gjsentinel.com/opinion/editorials/matchett-makes-the-most-sense/article_d816b9b6-c0fb-11ec-ab70-97b72bce51ae.html | false | 1 |

About one in 10 children lived in a household where they didn’t get enough to eat from 2019 to 2020, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics.
Experts say the issue could worsen if more isn’t done to ensure that federal programs aimed at addressing the problem are adequately funded.
The study found that 10.8 percent of children up to age 17 experienced food insecurity during the study period. A family is considered food insecure if it is unable to regularly get enough food that is nutritionally adequate, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The study also found vast disparities in the demographics of children who were affected by food insecurity.
Nineteen percent of Black children and nearly 16 percent of Hispanic children lived in households where they didn’t get enough to eat compared with 6.5 percent of white children, according to the study.
Children living in households with one parent and no other adult were 2½ times more likely to go hungry, and households with three or more children had higher rates of food insecurity than households with fewer kids, according to the study.
“Access to sufficient and nutritious food is a key social determinant of health,” the study authors wrote. “As such, disparities in food insecurity may contribute to inequalities in child health status.”
The COVID-19 pandemic caused many parents to have a harder time getting enough food for their kids, said Dr. Jessica Soldavini, an assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
The impacts on the economy led many adults to lose their jobs, making it more difficult for them to afford food, she told McClatchy News. But also, the closing of schools around the country created a challenge for children who relied on accessing free- and reduced-priced lunches at school, she said.
But even as most schools around the country have reopened and many states lift their pandemic-related restrictions, other factors could continue to make affording food a challenge, she said.
Experts say the war in Ukraine is causing the price of food, fuel and other commodities to skyrocket.
The global food price index reached an all-time high in March, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Gas hit its highest national average price on record on March 11 at $4.33 a gallon, according to AAA.
“With prices increasing, that is also causing more challenges for families, so that’s going to make it even harder for them to afford food,” she said.
Another concern is that some pandemic-era programs aimed at helping more children get access to food could be coming to an end if they are not extended, she said.
For example, a federal program that waived the onsite monitoring of school meal programs is set to expire on June 30. The program has allowed many more children than were previously eligible to access free meals at school, Soldavini said.
“Some children who are now able to get the meals during the school year without having to pay for them, next school year will not be able to do so if these waivers don’t get extended,” she said.A lack of nutrition can affect a child’s development as well as their physical and mental health and academic success, she said.
“It’s important to be aware of this issue,” she said. “And there are programs out there that are able to help address it and it’s important to make sure there’s adequate resources and support provided to those programs.” | https://www.sentinelsource.com/mcclatchy/10-of-us-kids-don-t-get-enough-to-eat-and-it-could-get-worse/article_cacbdfbe-e9a7-51a2-954b-09b8e9ed6b2b.html | 2022-04-21T09:56:40Z | https://www.sentinelsource.com/mcclatchy/10-of-us-kids-don-t-get-enough-to-eat-and-it-could-get-worse/article_cacbdfbe-e9a7-51a2-954b-09b8e9ed6b2b.html | false | 7 |
Asheville police release names of 2 more 2022 homicide victims, including woman strangled
ASHEVILLE - Police released the names of two homicide victims April 20 in response to questions from the Citizen Times.
Police confirmed there had been four homicides in 2022 on April 13 but did not release two of the names until April 20.
The remains of Rebecca Lynne Shular, 38, were found Jan. 5 in a wooded area near Bleachery Boulevard, Swannanoa River Road and River Ridge Drive, as previously reported by the Citizen Times.
Although police had identified her, she was not previously named a homicide victim.
There is an open case and an active investigation into her death, according to police. The department is still investigating her cause of death, spokesperson Bill Davis said.
However, according to Shular's death certificate on file with the Buncombe County Register of Deeds Office March 17, her cause of death is listed as "ligature strangulation," and "strangled by assailant(s)."
An obituary published in Waynesville's Mountaineer newspaper says that her funeral was scheduled Feb. 26 in Haywood County, where she was born. The obituary also says Shular was a mother of two.
Police Capt. Mike Lamb said in a Jan. 11 presentation to City Council that Shular was found behind a Cheddar's, buried in the middle of an encampment in a pile of litter that also contained needles. The department had not identified her then.

Police called Shular's death a homicide, the only one this year that was not from gunfire. Though she was identified after other victims, she is the city's first homicide victim in 2022, according to APD.
Simone Marquette Burnette, 49, died April 10 at Mission Hospital, according to police. Burnette was shot by DeMarcus Royal on March 30, near Pisgah View Apartments, according to warrants filed at the Buncombe County Magistrate's Office.
Royal died in Buncombe County Sheriff's Office custody April 6, closing the case.

An April 21 funeral service was planned for Burnette in Durham, according to an online obituary. One tribute on the obituary's page referenced him being a father.
When askedwhen police learned of Burnette dying, the department said, "APD knew when Mission Hospital informed us," in an email.
"Sorry, I don't have either specific date," spokesperson Bill Davis wrote in response to an email asking for clarification. "Investigative matters, I'm informed."
Other homicide victims reported in 2022:
Carl Ellington Jr., 24, who police say died Jan. 30 after he was shot multiple times by Jalia Love Jones. A medical examiner's report found that he died from a gunshot wound to the torso.
Lamichael Shawn Carter, 27, who police say they found dead in a West Asheville road. There is an open investigation.
Police reported 10 homicides in 2021 and 11 in 2020.
The department is asking for anyone with information regarding the death of Shular or Carter to text TIP2APD to 847744 (Tip411) or call APD at 828-252-1110. Tips are anonymous.

In December 1954, two Bengali engineers made their way from Calcutta to the garden city of Letchworth in England. Mohi Mukherjee and Amaresh Roy were at the British Tabulating Machine Company’s workshop to observe the manufacture of the computer bound for India. The machine took six months to build, and they used the time to familiarize themselves with its processes, learning how to operate it. Once their training ended, they travelled through Europe to visit ‘computing machine laboratories’ and returned home in early 1956. India’s first digital computer followed them in two crates.
Ten feet in length, seven in breadth and six in height, the computer consisted of three vertical metallic cabinets. Given Calcutta’s humidity, it was housed in an air-conditioned room on the Institute’s campus. The HEC-2M could perform 200 additions or five multiplications per second, and it could only handle a total of nine digits. It took two months to install, and as it had arrived from England with no manuals, Roy and Mukherjee had to assemble it based on their notes, sometimes relying just on instinct. When, for example, the chainsmoking Roy realized that he needed a specific clearance between the sixteen tracks constituting the computer’s memory, he found that his trusted cigarette paper did the job just fine.
The computer wasn’t easy to use. Roy and Mukherjee arranged sessions to train other engineers at the Institute and soon created their own instruction manuals. Within months of being inaugurated, in March 1956, a dozen workers at the Institute’s Electronics Computer Laboratory had learned how to operate it. Over the preceding two years the number of engineers working at the laboratory had grown. Dwijesh Majumdar, for example, was drawn to the Institute after reading a newspaper report about Mahalanobis showing the analogue computer to Nehru. When they met, the Professor invited Majumdar to join the fledgling electronics laboratory, but not before delivering ‘a detailed lecture on the importance of computer[s] for developmental planning in India’.
Apart from processing National Sample Survey data and performing calculations for divisions within the Institute, the HEC-2M received numerous computational requests from scientific institutions across the country. Some of the most complex mathematical tasks that the computer was tackling, however, were ones submitted by the Institute’s Planning Division. As the first digital computer in India and one of the very few in Asia, it was also a tourist attraction for ministers and other dignitaries. But, as Mahalanobis had noted before its purchase, this computer was never going to meet the needs of the National Sample Survey and economic planning. It functioned ultimately as training wheels.
The Institute had also begun inviting computer experts from abroad to help with the considerably more ambitious project of building a digital computer on site. Begun in early 1954, the plan stumbled within months of having been announced. Talks with Soviet computer experts had given the laboratory pause; the Indian engineers realized that designing and constructing a new computer would take years. It made more sense to focus on operationalizing the British computer and simply acquiring another computer from abroad. Meanwhile, the deal that Mahalanobis brokered with the Soviet Union had jumped through bureaucratic hoops and met with approval. The Institute initiated a request to the United Nations, through New Delhi, for a Soviet machine.
The Ural — named presumably to evoke the mighty Russian mountain range — arrived in Calcutta only in late 1958, two years after it had initially been expected. The Soviet computer was formally handed over after a conference inaugurated by a member of the Planning Commission. The only two digital computers in South Asia were now in Baranagore, on the Institute’s campus. The Times of India reported that the new computer could work ‘600 times faster than a single man’. Eight Soviet engineers followed the massive computer, and it took them three months to install it in yet another air-conditioned room. Unlike the earlier British machine, this one arrived with instruction manuals. Unfortunately, they were in Russian. With the help of an interpreter, the Soviet engineers held classes on construction, operation and maintenance. Indian engineers also learned some Russian in order to follow the manuals. Soon the Ural was running two shifts a day, its printer generating ‘ridiculous sounds’. When not involved on tasks relating to the Institute’s priorities (sample surveys and planning), its time was contracted out to other universities and scientific institutions. By 1959, the Indian Statistical Institute had secured the only two digital computers in the subcontinent and served as the de facto national computation centre. It was apparent, however, that the Institute required even more computing power.

NEW YORK, April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Rivian Automotive, Inc. ("Rivian Automotive, Inc." or the "Company") (NASDAQ: RIVN) of a class action securities lawsuit.
CLASS DEFINITION: The lawsuit seeks to recover losses on behalf of Rivian Automotive, Inc. investors who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud. This lawsuit is on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired Rivian common stock pursuant and/or traceable to Rivian's initial public offering on November 10, 2021 and/or between November 10, 2021, and March 10, 2022.

RIVN investors may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.
CASE DETAILS: Documents issued in connection with the initial public offering contained representations that were materially inaccurate, misleading, and/or incomplete because they failed to disclose, among other things, that the R1T electric pickup truck and R1S electric SUV were underpriced to such a degree that Rivian would have to raise prices shortly after the IPO and that these price increases would tarnish Rivian's reputation as a trustworthy and transparent company and would put a significant number of the existing backlog of 55,400 preorders, along with future preorders, in jeopardy of cancellation.
WHAT'S NEXT? If you suffered a loss in Rivian Automotive, Inc. during the relevant time frame, you have until May 6, 2022 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

First Dates’ Merlin Griffiths thanks NHS for ‘saving my life’ after tumour op
First Dates barman Merlin Griffiths has thanked the NHS for “literally saving my life” following surgery to remove a tumour.
The 46-year-old Channel 4 star announced in September that he had been diagnosed with bowel cancer.
On Wednesday, the barman took to Instagram and Twitter to share a smiling selfie and update fans about his “robotic surgery”.
Posting to his 64.400 followers on Instagram, he wrote: “And breathe. 6 days, start to finish.
“Now for real #cancer recovery. I’ve had open laparotomies before and the recovery was 6 weeks in hospital before robotic surgery!! Amazing.”
He later took to Twitter to reveal more details of his surgery and thank the NHS for the “excellent” cancer care he had received.
In a tweet to his 48,000 followers, Griffiths wrote: “Now I’m home I’d also like to share that the excellent #cancer care has been jointly provided by MDT’s at @OUHospitals & @nhsuhcw.
“Both treating patients with latest gold (standard) pathways for best outcomes. Highly recommended if you need to refer your case.
“Journey is far from over yet. But the path is now clearer than it has been for quite some time. #nhs #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth”
Griffiths rose to fame as the bartender who chats to the daters while they wait at the bar for their match in Channel 4’s hit show.
Last week he began updating fans on his cancer treatment in a series of posts on social media, including photographs from hospital before and after his surgery.
He shared a selfie from hospital, wearing a mask before his operation, with the caption “Ready as I’ll ever be. Tumour removal time.”
First Dates co-stars and friends were quick to wish him luck in the comments, with waitress and actress CiCi Coleman sending a number of heart emojis.
Griffiths later shared another selfie post-surgery, lying in a bed wearing a hospital gown, and wrote: “2am. Tubes outta everywhere. Aches and pains. But no tumour!”

Trump news - live: Ex-president claims Piers Morgan promo ‘doctored’ as new audio shows he didn’t storm out
Giuliani made an appearance on stage singing ‘Bad to the Bone’
Trump’s team repeatedly ask Piers Morgan to wrap up interview in leaked audio clip
Former president Donald Trump hit out at presenter Piers Morgan and accused him of doctoring the promo of an interview to suggest that the Republican leader stormed out of the room. In the edited trailer, an irate Mr Trump is shown grimacing as Mr Morgan calls the 2020 election “free and fair” and says the ex-president “never produced the hard evidence” to prove otherwise. The former president is seen interjecting by shouting “excuse me” over and over again before apparently flouncing off.
However, new audio released to NBC News by a Trump spokesman indicates that the interview in fact came to a far more amicable end, with the two men enjoying a disussion about the ex-president’s alleged hole-in-one during a recent golf game.
Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and former attorney to ex-president was unmasked on Wednesday’s episode of Fox’s “The Masked Singer” as Jack in the Box. He was also the first star to be eliminated from the third round of contestants.
Mr Giuliani made an appearance on stage singing “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood & the Destroyers, leaving the judges and the audience stunned.
Trump circulates audio contradicting Morgan interview trailer
After Piers Morgan aired a trailer for his interview with Donald Trump, the former president reacted with a furious statement that included the now-circulating audio clip that shows a far more orderly end to the encounter than the promo clip implies.
Here’s what Mr Trump had to say...
You can listen to the audio below.

Poll shows Americans not satisfied with Biden’s stand on Russia
Many Americans still question whether President Joe Biden is showing enough strength in response to Russia’s war against Ukraine, even as most approve of steps the US is already taking and few want American troops to get involved in the conflict.
A poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows 54 per cent of Americans think Mr Biden has been “not tough enough” in his response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Here are the findings of the poll:

ICYMI: Video of Zelensky looking horrified after Trump tells him to work with Putin
As Republicans suggest that Donald Trump would have had a stronger response to Russian aggression in Ukraine, they are facing reminders of the reality that Mr Trump’s relationship with Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelensky was tenuous at best.
Aside from the fact that the president was impeached by the House in 2020 for pushing Mr Zelensky to open a baseless, politically-damaging criminal investigation into Joe Biden or his son Hunter as he prepared to face Mr Biden in the 2020 election, a video of Mr Trump’s in-person press conference with Mr Zelensky is also resurfacing as it reveals the clear distance between the two leaders.
In the video, Mr Zelensky makes a visibly pained expression while the then-president suggests that Mr Zelensky and Mr Putin should ”get together and solve your problem”.
At the time, Russian forces were already supporting separatist governments in Crimea and Donbas, where fighting has taken place since 2014.

First Alert Forecast: Scattered showers throughout the day
Scattered showers and some rumbles of thunder continue to push through the Mid State this morning, so you’ll want to grab the umbrella as you’re headed out the door.
Most of that rain will taper off by the afternoon, but I can’t completely rule out another shower the rest of our day. We’ll try and get some sunshine back through the afternoon with temperatures in the mid 70s today. Tonight, will be partly cloudy and comfortable with lows in the upper 50s and lower 60s.
Tomorrow will start our wonderful stretch of 80+ degree weather! We’ll mix clouds and sunshine on our Friday with temperatures in the lower to mid 80s for the afternoon.
As we head into the weekend, we can expect our weather to remain dry and warm with temperatures in the lower to mid 80s on both Saturday and Sunday! The good news is that we will have the warmth, without the oppressive humidity. Saturday will feature plenty of sunshine, but we’ll see clouds make more of a comeback late into the day on Sunday.
A cold front comes in on Monday and brings us some scattered showers and a few storms. It will be cooler on Monday with highs in the mid 70s.
We quickly dry out on Tuesday and Wednesday with more sunshine each day and temperatures in the lower to mid 70s.

UK PM Johnson says lawmakers' probe into COVID breaches should come later
AHMEDABAD, India, April 21 (Reuters) - British police should be allowed to complete their investigation into potential COVID lockdown breaches in government offices before parliament launches its own investigation, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Thursday.
"I'm very keen for every possible form of scrutiny and the House of Commons can do, I think, whatever it wants to do, but all I would say is I don't think that that should happen until the investigation is completed," he told reporters during a visit to India.

Mitchell, Tractable Announce AI-Based Estimation
April 20, 2022—Mitchell, an Enlyte company, has demonstrated its end-to-end claims automation solution at Tractable's Vision Summit. Mitchell is a technology and information provider for property and casualty insurance and the collision repair industry.
According to a press release, this newly announced automation solution gives carriers in North America the opportunity to use Mitchell Intelligent Estimating with Tractable Artificial Intelligence for automotive insurance claims that will help to expedite payments and provide a straight-through processing digital experience.
This announcement comes after Mitchell and Tractable renewed their collaborative partnership in January 2021. Their integrated solutions have been used in the United States and Canada by insurers.
"With our AI and Mitchell's advanced technology and data, we can make straight-through processing a reality for U.S. and Canadian auto insurers," said Alex Dalyac, co-founder and CEO of Tractable in the press release. "Our best-of breed solutions give carriers and consumers the opportunity to process claims quickly and efficiently."
Mitchell Intelligent Estimating is the first claims automation solution that uses an open platform of AI computer vision providers in automotive insurance. Insurers have a choice of AI technology from industry leaders, and insurers can also leverage their own AI algorithms or opt for Mitchell's Mitchell Intelligent Damage Analysis.
After vehicle photos are processed, Mitchell translates AI recommendations into actionable information and items based upon VIN numbers, pre-populating part and operation-specific estimate lines.
From there, an appraiser can review the estimate or utilize the straight-through processing to complete a claim without the need for human interaction. | https://www.fenderbender.com/articles/17590-mitchell-tractable-announce-ai-based-estimation | 2022-04-21T10:21:16Z | https://www.fenderbender.com/articles/17590-mitchell-tractable-announce-ai-based-estimation | false | 1 |
Russia says British fighters captured in Ukraine are being looked after
April 21 (Reuters) - Russia's foreign ministry said on Thursday that British fighters who had been captured in Ukraine were being fed, watered and given necessary help.
"Don't worry, the Russian side is taking care of them. They are fed, watered, and given the necessary assistance. Just like other foreigners who have surrendered or been detained," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
Two British fighters captured in Ukraine by Russian forces appeared on Russian state TV on Monday and asked to be exchanged for a Ukrainian ally of President Vladimir Putin who is being held by the Ukrainian authorities. It was unclear how freely the two men - Shaun Pinner and Aiden Aslin - were able to talk.

A NAIL tech has stunned TikTok viewers by revealing a look at her latest manicure - which people said looks like an infection waiting to happen.
The woman showed her customer's hands with her new nails on full display, but it was the cuticles - or lack thereof - that shocked people the most.
In the clip, the cuticles had been pushed down so far that they were halfway down the top of her fingertip.
A large roll of skin could be seen underneath the nail, on the finger, before the nails were shown once they'd been finished.
In a look at the manicure once it had been finished, the skin around and underneath the nail looked red raw.
"It looks good but that’s definitely asking for an infection," one person commented on the video, while another agreed, writing: "I think THAT could lead to infections."
"omg imagine what that will look like once it starts healing not to mention the infections you can cause," someone else commented.
"She got 3rd degree burn from a nail clipper," another added.
"Imagine how painful it would be to touch literally anything," a third wrote.
"You are supposed to take off the dead skin not the entire finger skin," another comment read.

HOUSTON (AP) — While Deshaun Watson’s NFL career has resumed withthe Cleveland Brownsafter grand juries declined to indict him on any criminal charges over sexual misconduct allegations, his legal problems remain far from over.
Lawsuits filed in Houston by 22 women who have accused him of sexual assault and harassment remain unresolved, with no trial date set. Watson has denied any wrongdoing, saying last month he has “never assaulted, disrespected or harassed any woman in my life.”
Tony Buzbee, the attorney for the 22 women, said while his clients have been disheartened that Watson is able to participate in NFL activities amid his legal troubles, the attorney is focused on collecting evidence, including depositions of the quarterback, in anticipation of going to trial in civil court.
“All this other stuff surrounding is just a bunch of noise because my singular focus is preparing the cases to be tried and I intend to win them,” Buzbee said.
But Rusty Hardin, Watson’s attorney, said it would be “ludicrous” for Watson to not be allowed to resume playing when criminal charges were declined by two grand juries and the civil cases are still going through the normal legal channels.
“What they want is for him to be punished without process and to be unemployed without process and that’s crazy,” Hardin said.
The women allege in their lawsuits that Watson exposed himself, touched them with his penis or kissed them against their will during massage appointments. One woman alleged Watson forced her to perform oral sex.
Two separate Texas grand juries last month declined to indict Watson on criminal complaints stemming from the allegations.
David Ring, a California-based attorney not connected to the lawsuits and who has represented victims of sexual assault, said while it was a “big victory” for Watson that he wasn’t indicted, negative information from the lawsuits could still be made public that might impact his eligibility to play and whether NFL fans fully embrace him.
“I think there’s a large segment of the NFL fan base out there that’s still very interested in the outcome of the civil cases and again the more information that comes out about him, the more damaging it could be,” said Ring.
Watson was set to be deposed for about 50 hours and Buzbee said he still has another 30 hours to go. Watson’s depositions, which are being done on separate days, could stretch into the summer.
Buzbee and Hardin have different views of how Watson’s depositions have gone so far.
Buzbee said that in the depositions, Watson has offered no reasons for why he contacted people on Instagram for massages and didn’t use professional services offered by the Houston Texans, his former team.
“He literally has no explanation as to why he went about his business this way,” Buzbee said.
Hardin said he is concerned the depositions are only being done so that certain information that’s seen as damaging can be made public and create pressure to get Watson to settle the cases.
“At the end of the day, they don’t shed much light on anything,” Hardin said of Watson’s depositions by Buzbee.
No civil trials were set to happen during the upcoming NFL season as both sides last month agreed to not schedule any trials between Aug. 1 and March 1.
Buzbee said he tried to have the first civil trial in July but Watson’s attorneys weren’t interested.
Hardin said there were some discussions about a possible July trial for one or two of the lawsuits but issues related to scheduling among the lawyers and the judge haven’t been resolved.
Ring said he expects that as the ongoing discovery process in the case, in which depositions, documents and other evidence is gathered, winds down, “serious settlement talks” will likely start. He said 95% of civil lawsuits end up being settled before trial.
“The odds are it’s going to be a settlement at some point,” Ring said.
Buzbee said he’s still planning on having a separate trial for each of the 22 lawsuits.
Hardin said there are no current settlement conversations, but added “a trial is not going to go well for” Buzbee.

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil, April 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verde AgriTech Plc (TSX: “NPK”) (OTCQB: “AMHPF”) ("Verde” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the conclusion of the Market Study (the “Study”) that will underpin the preparation of the New Pre-Feasibility Study announced by the Company on March 01, 2021 (the “PFS”).
The Study calculated the potential Brazilian agricultural market for potash (“Potassium Oxide” or “K2O”), sulphur (“Sulphur”), and the micronutrients zinc, boron, copper and manganese (the “Micronutrients” or “Zn, B, Cu and Mn”). Sulphur and Micronutrients are added to Verde's multinutrient potassium fertilizer K Forte® (the “Product”) to produce BAKS®, a product launched by the Company on December 15, 2020, which has a higher selling point. The additional elements contained in BAKS® allow Verde to meet the specific demands of different crops and soil conditions, thereby boosting the overall Brazilian market serviceable by the Company's products.
The Study was conducted between May 2021 and March 2022 and will be an integral part of the PFS. The PFS will contemplate a scenario of total annual production of up to 50,000,000 tonnes per year (“tpy”) of Verde’s Product, equivalent to 63% of the total Brazilian potash consumption in 2021. The PFS will update the market information included in the Cerrado Verde Project (the “Project”).
The Pre-Feasibility Study completed in December 2017 (“2017 PFS”) evaluated the technical and financial aspects of total annual production of up to 25,000,000 tpy of Product. The 2017 PFS assumed that a railroad connection was needed to distribute the 25,000,000. Now, based on further and more recent studies for the PFS, the Company has determined the viability of using road haulage for distribution logistics of up to 23,000,000 tpy. A rail spur will only be necessary for logistics of production exceeding such amount, therefore postponing the construction of a railroad access and its related capex.
The PFS contemplates three distinct production scenarios, each modelled in light of the latest Study:
Scenario A: Annual production of 10Mtpy.
Scenario B: Annual production of 23Mtpy.
Scenario C: Annual production of 50Mtpy.
The Company has a combined measured and indicated mineral resource of 1.472 Mt at 9.28% K2O and an inferred mineral resource of 1.850 million tonnes at 8.60% K2O (using a 7.5% K2O cut-off grade)1. This amounts to 295.70 million tonnes of potash in K2O. In 2021 Brazil’s consumption of potash in K2O was 7.92 million2.
“We find ourselves at a key juncture in the Company’s journey, we need to choose between the path of safe expansion or blitzscale to a massive production that supplies the majority of Brazil’s potash consumption. The latter is a more ambitious approach that prioritizes Brazilian farmers’ need for a reliable and clean potash source, to help them feed the world. We will choose not what is easier, but rather the route that is most aligned to our very purpose: to improve the health of all people and the planet,” said Cristiano Veloso, Verde’s Founder and CEO.
Market Study: Pricing
Potash
The value of the Product's potash content was calculated based on the cost of KCl, considering the applicable logistic costs from its arrival at Brazilian ports to its final customer. The price for KCl CFR Brazil port adopted for the Study was estimated at US$368.65. The average delivered cost to the farmer was calculated at US$539.16. Table 01 shows the breakdown of KCl cost per tonne delivered to the farmer.
Table 01: Breakdown of KCl cost per tonne delivered to the farmer
Source: Tec-Fértil.
Despite the Product's inherent qualities as a multi-nutrient product, the calculation of its price per tonne was based on its K2O content equivalent, without contemplating the additional nutrients and benefits that it delivers. KCl has 60% K2O whereas the Product has 10% K2O. Therefore, considering the concentration of potash in the Product, a farmer will pay approximately 6 times less per tonne of Product than per tonne of KCl. As result, the farmers would pay US$89.86 per tonne of Verde's Product as a source of K2O.
For the purposes of the Study, the Company assumed pricing of the Product's K2O content at a 5% discount to conventional KCl as part of its market strategy to accelerate Product trial and adoption across an expanding Brazilian market.
Sulphur
The value of the Product's sulphur content was calculated based on the sale price of sulphur from S-bentonite, a widely available source of sulphur. The price for the Study was estimated at US$ 410.40 per tonne of S-bentonite. The feedstock purchased and beneficiated by Verde to produce fertilizer grade sulphur is elemental sulphur. The price for the Study was estimated at US$ 263.97 per tonne for the feedstock.
Table 02: Long-term price of the feedstock and similar source of sulphur

Micronutrients
The Micronutrients’ pricing was based on the average individual amounts of each Micronutrient, in kilograms per hectare, as applied for different crops in different regions of Brazil based on fertilization needs and alternatives. Crops that use the largest amount of Micronutrients are Soybeans, Corn, Coffee, Cotton, Reforestation, and Sugarcane.
Table 03: Micronutrients’ feedstock sources for Verde's Product
Source: Tec-Fértil.
Table 04: Long-term cost of similar sources of Micronutrients including soil application cost
Source: Tec-Fértil.
The amount paid by the farmer per tonne of Product as a source of K2O plus sulphur and micronutrients varies according to the intended concentration of each nutrient. A weighted average price for this Product being a source of K2O plus sulphur and micronutrients delivered to the farm was assumed at US$109.19 per tonne.
Market Share
Future demand estimates for nutrients relied on parameters of total planted area, crop and productivity. In addition, the Study accounted for the percentage of producers that apply each nutrient, in light of crop requirements, supply and fertilization alternatives. These criteria were used to calculate the demand for potash, sulphur, and micronutrients on a state-by-state basis across Brazil.
Potash
The Study detailed the Brazilian market share for potash that the Project will be able to supply. Table 05 presents Brazil's historical consumption of K2O from 2000 to 2020, and the projected consumption up to 2070, with the equivalent amount of K Forte demand.

Sources: ANDA (potash consumption from 2000 to 2020) and Tec-Fértil (potash demand forecast up to 2070)
Sulphur
According to the Study, the Project would be able to supply 11.66% of the Brazilian sulphur market in Scenario A, 27.28% in the Scenario B and 53.78% in Scenario C. Table 06 presents an estimated consumption value for sulphur in 2020, and the projected consumption up to 2070 according to agribusiness growth forecast.

“It is hard to overstate the importance of the Market Study because it underscores Verde's potential market growth in what is the world's fastest expanding agricultural producer: Brazil. More than ever, we will continue working to improve our technologies and to ramp-up our production, aiming to establish Verde's Products as a major brand in Brazil’s agricultural scene,” concluded Mr. Veloso.

PRP presidential aspirant says Nigeria deserves complete system overhaul
Patience Key, a presidential aspirant on the platform of People’s Redemption Party (PRP) has lamented the general state of the country, adding that Nigeria’s system should be totally overhauled.
Patience, who spoke to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, stressed that now was the time for all Nigerians to be intentional in their quest for the country that works.
She identified the Nigerian problem as complete systemic failure, urging Nigerians to begin to ask sensitive questions on how the country can be salvaged.
“The country urgently needs a total system overhauling. The question that should be agitating the mind of every honest and conscious Nigerian now is how to extricate our nation from the dreadful, humiliating abyss that successive decades of bad governance have plunged us into.

“Indeed, after 108 years of nationhood, 62 years of political independence and over two decades of uninterrupted civil rule, the state of our country is a woeful depiction of how efficiently our past and present leaderships have mobilised, exploited, and managed our over 200 million vibrant population; rich cultural diversity; apparently inexhaustible deposits of natural resources and congenial climate.
“In reality, our country is profusely bleeding. Poverty, hunger, and anger are boldly imprinted on the faces of the vast majority of the populace. Pervasive insecurity has denied many Nigerians, not only their lives and the lives of their loved ones, but also their freedom, dignity and means of livelihood.
“It’s time to inject a fresh breath of air, a fresh ray of hope, for every Nigerian. Terrorists now hoist their flags on huge swathes of land within our national territory; more alarmingly, some within a few hundred kilometres from our nation’s capital. Our villagers and assiduous farmers in the North-East now gladly pay taxes to terrorists and armed bandits, rather than the government, to stay alive and access their own farmlands”, she added.

KYIV, Ukraine — Russian President Vladimir Putin tried to claim victory in the strategic port of Mariupol on Thursday, even as he ordered his troops not to storm the last pocket of Ukrainian resistance in the war's iconic battleground.
Russian troops have besieged the southeastern city since the early days of the conflict and largely pulverized it — and top officials have repeatedly indicated it was about to fall, but Ukrainian forces stubbornly held on. In recent weeks, they holed up in a sprawling steel plant, and Russian forces pounded the industrial site and repeatedly issued ultimatums ordering the defenders to surrender.
Putin said that, for now, he would not risk sending troops into the warren of tunnels under the giant Azovstal plant, instead preferring to isolate the holdouts who have captivated the world's attention "so that not even a fly comes through." His defense minster said the plant was blocked off, while giving yet another prediction that the site could be taken in days.
Putin's order may mean that Russian officials are hoping they can wait for the defenders to surrender after running out of food or ammunition. Bombings of the plant could well continue.
Even though Putin painted the mission to take Mariupol already a success and said the city had been "liberated," until the plant falls, he cannot declare a complete victory.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said about 2,000 Ukrainian troops remained in the plant, which has a labyrinth of tunnels and bunkers that spread out across about 11 square kilometers (4 square miles). Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that about 1,000 civilians were also trapped there.
Russian-backed separatists in the area previously seemed bent on taking every last inch of the city, which has seen some of the most dramatic fighting of the war and whose capture has both strategic and symbolic importance.
The scale of suffering in the city on the Azov Sea has made it a worldwide focal point, and its definitive fall would deprive Ukraine of a vital port, complete a land bridge between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, which Moscow seized in 2014, and free up Russian troops to move elsewhere in the Donbas.
Russian officials now say capturing the Donbas, Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland, is the war's main goal. This week, Moscow's forces opened a new phase of the war, in a deadly drive along a front from the northeastern city of Kharkiv to the Azov Sea. Detaching the region from the rest of Ukraine would give Putin a badly needed victory two months into the war, after the botched attempt to storm the capital, Kyiv, and amid mounting Russian losses.
Britain's Defense Ministry said that Russia likely wants to demonstrate significant successes ahead of Victory Day on May 9, the proudest moment on the annual calendar marking its critical role in winning World War II.
"This could affect how quickly and forcefully they attempt to conduct operations in the run-up to this date," the ministry said.
Retired British Rear Admiral Chris Parry described Putin's remarks as reflecting a change in "operational approach" as Russia tries to learn from its failures in the eight-week conflict, which turned from initial hopes of a lightning fast invasion of a neighbor into a war of attrition with ever mounting casualties and costs.
"It seems to me that the Russian agenda now is not to capture these really difficult places where the Ukrainians can hold out in the urban centers, but to try and capture territory and also to encircle the Ukrainian forces and declare a huge victory," Parry said.
In the meantime, Western powers are doubling down on their support of Ukraine, moving to push more military hardware in, heightening geopolitical stakes.
The latest in a long line of Western leaders venturing to Kyiv, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Thursday: "One of the most important messages today is that Denmark is considering sending more weapons. That is what is needed."
Several Western officials have promised similar in recent days.
With global tensions running high, Russia reported the first successful test launch of a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile, the Sarmat, on Wednesday. Putin boasted that it can overcome any missile defense system and make those who threaten Russia "think twice." The head of the Russian state aerospace agency called the launch out of northern Russia "a present to NATO."
The Pentagon described the test as "routine" and said it wasn't considered a threat.
On the battlefield, Ukraine said Moscow continued to mount assaults across the east, probing for weak points in Ukrainian defensive lines. Russia said it launched hundreds of missile and air attacks on targets that included concentrations of troops and vehicles.
The Kremlin's stated goal is the capture of the Donbas, the mostly Russian-speaking eastern region that is home to coal mines, metal plants and heavy-equipment factories.
In a video address, Zelenskyy said the Russians were not "abandoning their attempts to score at least some victory by launching a new, large-scale offensive."
The Luhansk governor said Russian forces control 80% of his region, which is one of two that make up the Donbas. Before Russia invaded on Feb. 24, the Kyiv government controlled 60% of the Luhansk region.
Analysts have said the offensive in the east could become a war of attrition as Russia faces Ukraine's most experienced, battle-hardened troops, who have fought pro-Moscow separatists in the Donbas for eight years.
Russia said it presented Ukraine with a draft document outlining its demands for ending the conflict — days after Putin said the talks were at a "dead end."
Moscow has long demanded Ukraine drop any bid to join NATO. Ukraine has said it would agree to that in return for security guarantees from other countries. Other sources of tension include the status of both the Crimean Peninsula, seized by Moscow in 2014, and eastern Ukraine, where the separatists have declared independent republics recognized by Russia.

What is HDR? High Dynamic Range TVs and phones explained
What is high dynamic range, and how does it benefit displays from TVs to smartphones?
HDR originated in the world of photography, and is best described as a merging of several photos at different exposures to create one high dynamic range photo. It has become a fixture on TVs and smartphones from the most expensive tellies right down to the cheapest ones, though it works differently than it does in photography.
So what exactly is HDR, what does it do and how does it benefit what you watch?
What is HDR?
HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and refers to contrast (or the difference) between the brightest and darkest parts in an image.
The idea is that your eyes can perceive whites that are brighter and blacks that are darker than traditional SDR displays had been able to show. HDR content preserves details in the darkest and brightest areas of a picture, details often lost using older imaging standards such as Rec.709.
HDR10 is the industry standard format, and all devices and content are required to support it. HDR10 sets the brightness for the entirety of a programme, so the level of bright and dark parts are the same throughout.
There are more advanced versions available in Dolby Vision and HDR10+, which are dynamic forms of HDR. They use metadata to optimise an image either scene-by-scene or shot-by-shot for a more fidelious HDR performance.
What makes an HDR TV?
Contrast is one of the most important factors in how good a TV picture looks and a key aspect of HDR TVs. It refers to the difference between brightest and darkest parts of an image. The greater the difference between these two poles, the greater the contrast.
Another is brightness (or luminance), which refers to how bright a TV can go and is measured in ‘nits’. One nit is the equivalent to one candela (one candlepower) per square metre (1cd/m2). Around 500 – 600 nits of peak brightness is considered to be enough to convey the effects of HDR for a TV.
The other measurement is black level. Black level refers to how dark an image can appear and is also measured in nits. For example, a TV could have a peak brightness of 400 nits and a black level of 0.4 nits. The difference between the peak brightness and black level is known as the contrast ratio. Strong black levels and high luminance combine for a bigger contrast ratio, resulting in improved picture performance. Put simply, a higher contrast ratio makes for a stronger looking image.
When it comes to colour, a TV must be able to process what’s known as 10-bit or ‘deep’ colour for HDR content. 10-bit equates to a signal that includes over a billion possible colours. In comparison SDR (Standard Definition Range) Blu-ray uses 8-bit colour, which amounts to 16 million possible colours. With 10-bit colour, HDR TVs can produce a vastly expanded range of colours, reducing overtly obvious gradations between shades. Subtle shading helps to make a scene look more realistic.
However, a TV doesn’t need to be able to display all the colours in a 10-bit signal. It just has to be able to process the signal and produce an image based on that information. TVs from Hisense, for example, feature 8-bit panels with FRC (frame rate control) to deliver the extra colours.
An HDR TV must reproduce a certain amount of what’s known as ‘P3’ colour or the DCI-P3 colour standard. DCI-P3 is a colour space most known for its use in digital film projection. The DCI-P3 colour space is larger than what SDR TVs use – Rec.709 – which means it can display more colours.
In general terms, it refers to the range of the colour spectrum, and to display HDR images well, a TV display must cover as much of the P3 colour space as it can. The guidance for the UHD Premium format says more than 90% of the P3 colour must be covered.
A HDR TV that can cover a this amount within the DCI-P3 colour spectrum will be able to display more colours and display HDR content more effectively. Manufacturers don’t always reveal this information, but you can find results of DCI-P3 coverage in reviews online.
How do I know if a TV is HDR compatible?
Virtually all TVs on the market are HDR enabled, it’ll be rare to find one that isn’t. It’ll usually say so in the description of the TV or on the box with a logo. If you’re still unsure, check online to see what forms of HDR the TV supports or read one of our reviews.
There is the UHD Premium standard to consider too, but not all TV brands carry a badge that says they adhere to that standard.
Cheaper sets are only capable of limited brightness, with TVs such as the Hisense Roku TV and Toshiba UL21 able to hit a peak brightness of around 350 nits. Highlights (often the brightest parts of an image) aren’t as bright, and black levels aren’t as deep or as consistent either.
The further up the chain you go, the brighter a TV can get. More expensive efforts can hit a peak brightness of around 1000 nits, while Samsung’s Mini LED TVs deliver some of the brightest images on the market, hitting 2000 nits or more. If you want to see the benefits of HDR in action, we’d suggest a TV capable of at least 600 nits or so.
What is HDR10?
HDR10 is the industry standard HDR format for consumer sets and all TVs must support it to be considered HDR compatible. Announced in 2015, it uses the wide colour gamut, Rec.2020 colour space and a bit-depth of 10-bits.
It’s an open format and requires at least an HDMI 2.0a connection to carry the signal from an external source (like a streaming stick or 4K Blu-ray player). HDR10 content is mastered at 1000 nits, and unlike other forms of HDR it’s not dynamic, so brightness and darkness levels stay the same across the running time.
But HDR10 allows for greater contrast than SDR content and picture quality should be improved even on cheaper sets. HDR10 includes WCG (Wide Colour Gamut), which depicts a more diverse range of colours, although not all TVs support WCG though, especially budget sets.
What is HDR10+
HDR10+ is an open standard adopted by several TV manufacturers (such as Samsung) and video streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video. It differs from HDR10 by using dynamic metadata instead of static metadata.
As a dynamic HDR variant, it can adapt the brightness of individual scenes or frames. For example, if a scene was meant to be shown at lower brightness, HDR10+’s dynamic approach would reduce the brightness level in real-time to match the creative intent. While HDR10+ achieves the same objective as Dolby Vision, it offers more freedom for different displays to use their own strengths and processing while Dolby Vision is stricter in its instructions.
Compared to Dolby Vision, there is not as much content available in HDR10+, though Prime Video and Rakuten TV support it and a number of 4K Blu-rays carry the format, too.
What is Dolby Vision?
Dolby Vision is a variant of HDR and like HDR10+ it adds a layer of dynamic metadata to the core HDR signal. This dynamic metadata carries scene-by-scene or frame-by-frame instructions as to how a TV should present its HDR performance. In doing so it improves everything from brightness to contrast, detailing and colour reproduction.
As it is used by Hollywood creators to grade their films, as well as in cinemas, its more widespread than HDR10+, with more manufacturers and streaming services delivering content in Dolby Vision HDR. The only significant holdout is Samsung, which pushes HDR10+.
Dolby Vision’s value is more noticeable with cheaper sets, as its presence assists in improved tone-mapping, essentially the way in which the TV can adapt the image to the capabilities of the display.
Dolby has also brought out Dolby Vision IQ, which optimises HDR content to suit the changeable lighting conditions of a normal living room. The result is the viewer can still see detail in the darker parts of an image that would otherwise be washed out by ambient light.
What is HLG?
HLG stands for Hybrid Log Gamma and is a HDR format used by broadcast services. It performs the same function by adding metadata for luminance levels so content can achieve greater contrast and truer colours.
HLG was developed by the BBC and NHK (the Japanese national broadcaster) to display a wide dynamic range while also remaining compatible with SDR transmission standards. What that means is people without a HDR TV can receive the same broadcast feed as content will automatically downsample to be compatible with SDR displays.
This makes HLG a backwards-compatible, more cost-effective HDR format for content creators, who won’t have to produce two feeds to consider different TVs. BBC’s iPlayer uses it, as does Sky for sports such as football and F1.
What about HDR on smartphones?
Phones and tablets are increasingly bumping up their peak brightness, and there’s been a concerted effort to support the HDR-compatible versions of streaming services such as Netflix or Prime Video.
HDR on phones doesn’t have the same impact or subtlety of a good TV, but it can make a difference with punchier colours and better contrast.
The number of HDR-compatible smartphones is increasing each year with even more affordable efforts joining in the fun. Samsung’ S22 range supports HDR10+, as does the Motorola Edge Lite 20, while Apple’s iPhones feature Dolby Vision to name but a few smartphone brands’ allegiances.
Should you buy an HDR TV?
Virtually all TVs sold today are HDR-compatible, so it’d be harder not to buy one. However, the quality of the HDR performance varies as cheaper TVs aren’t bright enough to HDR justice. The further up the ladder you go, the better the HDR experience will be.
It’s worth doing research on the product before you buy, to ensure you’re getting the specs you need for a true HDR experience. We mention information on peak brightness (in nits) that a HDR TV is capable of to give an indication of how bright it can go.
HDR TVs are getting better each year with new technologies and more capable performance. If you’re looking to upgrade to a 4K TV, then HDR has become a vital aspect of the performance you need to consider. | https://www.trustedreviews.com/explainer/hdr-tv-high-dynamic-television-explained-2927035 | 2022-04-21T10:48:07Z | https://www.trustedreviews.com/explainer/hdr-tv-high-dynamic-television-explained-2927035 | true | 2 |

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The United Nations' highest court ruled Thursday that Colombia breached Nicaragua's rights in waters of the Caribbean Sea, including by hindering Nicaraguan fishing vessels and granting fishing permits for Colombian and other boats.
The majority ruling of the International Court of Justice gave Nicaragua a victory in a lengthy legal battle, although it may not fully end the dispute between the two Latin American nations.
Nicaragua filed the case in 2013, claiming that Colombia violated its sovereignty in the western Caribbean, a region of the sea long claimed by both countries that is home to a UNESCO-listed biosphere reserve inhabited by dozens of endangered species.
In a 9-6 vote, the world court ruled that Colombia “must immediately cease the conduct,” ICJ President Jean E. Donoghue said during a public reading of the decision.
The judges voted 10-5 to establish that Colombia infringed Nicaragua's rights “by interfering with fishing and marine scientific research activities” of Nicaraguan or Nicaraguan-licensed vessels and with naval activities “and by purporting to enforce conservation measures” in Nicaragua's waters.
Colombia said the ruling had positives for Bogota, despite imposing limits on its naval activities.
“They limited some of its functions in the sense that they cannot undertake environmental control activities, which is a shame because we do have the ability to do that," Colombia's representative to the court, Carlos Gustavo Arrieta Padilla, told reporters. "But nevertheless, the court maintained the possibility of the Colombian navy being there and doing operations in the fight against organized crime in the area.”
A 2012 ruling by the world court gave Nicaragua fishing rights over much of the western Caribbean, but Colombia’s navy has continued to patrol the waters, which are also used by traffickers to smuggle drugs into Central America.
At hearings last year, Nicaragua argued that Colombian naval ships were infringing on its fishing rights by patrolling the area that the court had awarded to Nicaragua as an “exclusive economic zone.”
The country also alleged that Colombia’s navy has dissuaded vessels with Nicaraguan fishing permits from operating in the area while providing protection to vessels with Colombian permits.
Colombia denied the accusations and said its navy patrolled the area to fight drug trafficking and to protect the Seaflower Marine Reserve, an area created by Colombia that is on UNESCO’s global list of biosphere reserves and overlaps the economic zone awarded to Nicaragua in the 2012 ruling.
In a win for Colombia, the court majority said in Thursday's ruling that points used by Nicaragua to delineate its territorial waters after the 2012 judgment were “not in conformity with customary international law.”
Rulings by the court are final and legally binding. | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/UN-court-Colombia-infringed-Nicaragua-s-rights-17116046.php | 2022-04-21T11:01:27Z | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/UN-court-Colombia-infringed-Nicaragua-s-rights-17116046.php | true | 11 |

A campaign group has criticized Apple’s twice-yearly transparency reports, saying that in one very important respect they are not very transparent.
One section of the report covers App Store Takedown Requests, and Apple is accused of deliberately concealing information about the apps it removes …
Background
Apple publishes Transparency Reports twice a year. These detail the actions it has taken in response to both government and private data requests, as well as the apps it has removed from the App Store in response to takedown requests.
Apple provides information regarding requests from government authorities to remove apps from the App Store based on alleged/suspected violations of local law. Examples of such requests are where law enforcement or regulatory agencies suspect an app may be unlawful or relate to/contain unlawful content. Apple complies with these requests insofar as we are legally required to do so.
The latest report revealed that the majority of app takedown requests were received from China, and that Apple removed every single one of the apps concerned.
Apple reports that it received 39 legal violations takedown requests covering 206 applications. China accounted for 26 of those requests covering 90 applications, followed by India making six requests covering 102 applications. Apple removed all 206 of the applications requested.
Apple’s transparency reports aren’t, in fact, transparent, says campaign group
The accusation is made by GreatFire, a campaign group whose mission is to “monitor and challenge internet censorship in China.” The group has published its own report, titled “Taken Down: A Look into Apple’s Transparency Reports.”
Apple carefully engineered its Transparency Reports to conceal as much information as possible on app removals from the 175 App Stores it operates worldwide.
Dissecting the four Transparency Reports covering “Worldwide Government App Store Takedown Requests” from January 2019 until December 2020, AppleCensorship uncovered scores of missing data, incoherence and contradictory information presented in the most deceptive way, making it impossible for the public to have a clear understanding of Apple’s government-led and proactive removals of apps from its App Stores. In presenting such reports as its effort to be transparent to the public, Apple is deceiving its users and the public on the reality of its takedown policy, both in terms of its nature and true scale.
AppleCensorship’s report demonstrates that despite the publication of these so-called “transparency” reports; Apple is still operating in the most opaque way, unaccountable for the decisions it takes regarding certain content, information and tools unavailable on the App Store.
The group says that while Apple provides statistics, it fails to provide any of the information that would be required to assess the reasonableness of the app removals.
- No information on the apps being removed, their category, the type of content, and functions they offered, and the App Stores in which they were present before being removed.
- No information on government bodies issuing the takedown requests, the dates of requests, their legal basis, and the reasons invoked by these bodies for app removals.
- Only 10 vague and shortly phrased reasons were used repeatedly by Apple to describe the reasons for app removals: “apps operating without government licence,” “illegal gambling,” and “illegal content” account for 32 out of the 41 brief explanations provided by Apple.
GreatFire says that this makes it impossible to know who was targeted or harmed by the removals.
Since no information is given on the apps being removed, it is impossible to know if certain groups of users (such as Human Rights activists, journalists, ethnic minorities or vulnerable communities such as LGBTQ+) have been targeted by such removal.
Additionally, it says that governments often make takedown requests by reporting apps as being in violation of App Store policies – which avoids the need for them to cite a legal basis for their removal.
Platform Policy Takedown Requests (PPVTR) trigger many more removals than Legal Violation Takedown Requests (LVTR).
Over two years, the 869 apps removed following LVTRs generated 948 removals worldwide, while the 191 apps removed for PPVTRs generated 29,605 removals worldwide. In other words, 96.90% of all removals were made following Apple’s own decisions. Only 3.10% of all removals were made because of Apple’s legal obligation to comply with local laws.
The group says that Apple should provide much more information, including the list of apps removed, and the laws the apps are alleged to have broken.
We’ve reached out to Apple for comment, and will update with any response.

The Tchaikovsky Competition, one of the world-renowned music competitions in the world, has been expelled from the World Federation of International Music Competitions, due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The WFIMC released a statement on Tuesday saying that in a vote following its Extraordinary General Assembly held on April 13, the World Federation of International Music Competitions decided with an overwhelming majority of member votes to exclude the International Tchaikovsky Competition with immediate effect.
It is the first time that the organization, founded in 1957, has excluded a member competition on political grounds. As such, the number of WFIMC competitions has been reduced to 116 from 117. In the vote, 90 members participated, with 80 in favor, two opposition votes and eight abstentions.
The Tchaikovsky Competition is known for producing world-class musicians such as Van Cliban, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Mikhail Pletnev, Gidon Krember and Viktoria Mullova.
“Many laureates of the Tchaikovsky Competition are among the leading artists of today. However, in the face of Russia’s brutal war and humanitarian atrocities in Ukraine, the WFIMC as an apolitical organization cannot support or have as a member, a competition financed and used as a promotional tool by the Russian regime. While our first and foremost goal must always be the active support of young artists, and right now particularly Ukrainian artists, the WFIMC affirms its previous statement against blanket sanctions on all Russians and against the discrimination and exclusion of individual artists, based on their nationality,” added the organization.

Public transit systems in the U.S. are struggling. Ridership plummeted during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the numbers are still only 61% of what they were before the pandemic.
This is partly because commuters have been slow to return to in-person work. Another factor, though, is wariness.
"I would say safety is absolutely a reason why we see a decline in ridership," says Yasha Zarrinkelk, coalition manager with the advocacy group Transit Forward Philadelphia. "There's a hesitancy for riders to get back on the transit system."
Some of that hesitancy is based on high-profile violent crimes, such as the mass shooting in a subway station in Brooklyn last week or the alleged rape in front of multiple witnesses on a train in Philadelphia last fall.
But homelessness and drug use play a role, too. With fewer commuters on trains and buses and the suspension of fare enforcement on many systems during the pandemic, it has become harder to ignore the presence of what transit officials euphemistically refer to as the "vulnerable population."
"These are the complaints we get every day from our riders," says Thomas J. Nestel III, the chief of the police department of SEPTA, the transit system for the Philadelphia region.
"[Riders say] it's unsafe because that person is sleeping in a seat, because that person is laying on the floor. Neither of those people is often a threat, but their anti-social behavior creates that sense that the area is not safe when they're there," Nestel says.
Various local solutions to a national problem
Some systems have responded by stepping up fare enforcement again. In Denver, officials recently announced plans to allow access to a key bus terminal to paying passengers only.
In other cities, transit police are being told to hold back. The Seattle-area Sound Transit system is moving toward lighter fare enforcement, relying more on civilian "fare ambassadors," instead of sworn police officers. The move is a response to allegations of inequity because a disproportionate number of passengers caught by the enforcement are Black.
A similar approach has been proposed in Los Angeles, where LA Metro is funding "alternative" public safety efforts for trains and buses, although it also extended its contracts with the law enforcement agencies that patrol the system through the end of this year.
Nestel, Philadelphia's transit police chief, says the 2020 George Floyd protests changed attitudes nationally. "That eagerness to focus on quality-of-life issues using the police is no longer as palatable as it was before," he says.
Philadelphia transit devises a way to save those who are struggling
SEPTA's solution is to pair its transit officers with civilian social workers. In a pilot project started last fall called Serving a Vulnerable Entity (SAVE), police and "outreach specialists" — social workers — patrol trains together, looking for the people they call "vulnerables" and offering them services.
Alexander Bires is one of the SAVE officers. At the end of a train line, he goes through the cars, evicting men with bundles who'd rather stay — and sleep — on board. But he's gentle about it.
"We gotta get our stuff and clear off the trains, all right, buddy?" he says to one older man, adding, "We got outreach specialists out here today. You need outreach? Anything like that?"
The idea is to have officers enforce the rules while at the same time connecting people with services such as temporary shelters or drug treatment. At another station, near an open-air drug market, a man who has apparently just taken drugs appears on the platform, knees buckling. Police on the system call people in this state "dippers."
Bires and a civilian social worker, Nicole Polit, escort him back to the street.
"Open your eyes for me," Polit tells the man. "I can't have you falling down the steps or falling over into the tracks."
They stay with him, and as he sobers up, they offer to get him help. Most people say no, but in this case, he agrees. Within minutes, a car from the social services contractor arrives to take him to drug treatment.
"[Vulnerable people] trust them more now," Polit says of the transit officers. "Because they don't see them as just a uniform. We needed them to believe that the officers cared about the people on the street."
Polit says she would be less willing to do this job without the presence of sworn transit cops. "You don't ever know when something's just going to pop off. So it makes zero sense to take the officers away and add social workers."
Some activists would rather see fewer transit police
But activist groups across the country continue to call for just that — services, without police.
"We come from an abolitionist framework," says Transit Forward Philadelphia's Zarrinkelk. "We believe that the presence of police aboard public transit and any public space is not going to be the solution or answer to this public health and safety issue."
He would prefer to see safety efforts delivered by civilians and people from surrounding neighborhoods. But he acknowledges that some of the people his organization has surveyed in those same neighborhoods disagree. He recalls an older woman he talked to about this.
"Even though she was fully aware, right, of the systemic issues around police brutality, she still felt like that without police presence, she wouldn't necessarily be able to ride the system," he says.
There's also a limit to how far to take responses like the SAVE program.
"Cities have to make decisions — Philadelphia isn't the richest city in the United States," says Jerry Ratcliffe, a professor of criminal justice at Temple University who's studying the SAVE program and the effectiveness of this kind of outreach by police and civilian social workers.
The study will track outcomes, as measured by the number of "vulnerable people" who accept services. The question is whether it's enough to have police who are trained to connect people with services, or whether to team them up with social workers.
Ratcliffe says the results could be instructive for transit systems across the country as they try to recover from the pandemic.
"It's a balance between treating people with that level of compassion, but not abandon and sacrifice public space," he says. "Because Philadelphia needs a workable transit system. And we shouldn't abandon that system and turn it into a de facto homeless shelter."

‘I don’t think we’re moving in the right direction’: Rudi Ying on Chinese hockey
"The general consensus around Chinese players in the system is that you can complain all you want, but you know nothing's going to change, so what's the point?"
Rudi Ying is one of the young faces of Chinese ice hockey. He was the captain of the Kunlun Red Star in Russia’s KHL, and recently represented China at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. He is also one of the most articulate players in the sport, as anyone who listened to the most recent episode of the China Sports Insider Podcast would know.
But at just 23 years old, Ying is considering hanging up his skates. (He is currently covering from an injury.) “In the past few seasons, I’ve had a pretty pessimistic revelation,” he told us. “Or you could just say it’s a realistic realization, which is that maybe I’m not 100% cut out for the sport.”
In an honest 40-minute conversation, Ying makes several revelations about Chinese hockey, including the mercenary nature of playing professionally in the KHL and the rift between “heritage” and Chinese players on the team in the lead-up to the Olympics. “When we’re going to clubs and getting drunk and stuff, they would say that to my face. They’re like, ‘Oh, I couldn’t make this money anywhere else,'” he says. “In the locker room, you felt there was no real sense of pride.”
We’ve excerpted some of the conversation below, or listen to it here, beginning at the 8:40 mark:
On a rift between heritage and Chinese teammates in Russia
There was a rift between the native guys and the heritage guys over there, because for whatever reason, the [Kunlun Red Star] management seemed to turn a blind eye to a lot of the heritage guys’ stuff, which I understand. But you kind of want equal treatment. We couldn’t leave the hotel, technically — we used to sneak out and stuff, I can say that now — while the heritage guys would just come and go as they pleased, and their families were there and whatever. I couldn’t get family over there, I couldn’t do anything. It was just a very different set of rules.
We talked about it somewhat, but it’s a taboo subject. I feel like that’s the general consensus around Chinese players in the system, is that you can complain all you want, but you know nothing’s going to change, so what’s the point?
I felt like I had an identity crisis, where the Chinese players thought I was heritage player and the heritage guys thought I was Chinese. So I was kind of left alone. I had a couple friends who were in the similar situation, so we bonded over that. But that was always a weird thing for me. From the surface, it looks like it’s a good deal, but in reality, it’s kind of the opposite.
On buying in — nor not
I think even among the heritage guys, my views were very split on their attitudes. I’m not going to name any players, but there were some players who spent a fair amount of time in China with Chinese blood and heritage and didn’t bother to learn one word of Chinese. And on the other side of that spectrum, there are players who didn’t have a single ounce of Chinese blood who bought into the system far more than the other ones did, so I have a lot of respect for them.
I would say the general consensus is that nobody bought in, if I’m being honest. For a lot of the players, it felt as if they had no real reason to say no, so they just kind of went along with it. For other players, if I’m being brutally honest, I think it was for money. I have to say that I’m one of those people who made probably way more than I probably should have, but certainly not on the levels that some of these guys were making. When we’re going to clubs and getting drunk and stuff, they would say that to my face. They’re like, “Oh, I couldn’t make this money anywhere else.”
But we all knew that. That was the harsh reality behind it, was that even in the locker room, you felt there was no real sense of pride. I mean, if you’re reconnecting with your roots, you’ve got to at least learn the language a little bit, at least immerse yourself in the culture a little bit. And I didn’t see that at all in the five years that I was with this team.
On joining the KHL
I don’t think, realistically, joining the KHL was the best thing to do for Chinese hockey development in general. I was probably the best player in China in 2016. I would be comfortable saying that. And I know that I may get hate for that, but I think that’s true. And I was nowhere near being able to play in the KHL. So when you set up that team, it’s not a realistic stepping stone. It’s like trying to jump onto the second floor. It’s not possible.
I was saying even back then that we should have had our own league, because we had a lot of funding, a lot of money, because of the Olympics, and it just wasn’t being poured in the right direction. I figured if you set up a league, and then you’re willing to pay higher salaries and players from North America would like to come to China to play, then you would slowly raise the level of Chinese hockey. And then the players inside of that system could gradually take a flight of stairs up to the second floor instead of trying to box jump on the second floor.
But that’s just the way it is. And even this season, not a lot of the Chinese guys got to play, including myself.
Next steps and future hopes
Well, I am going to decide after I recover from this injury. But I’m undecided because of a lot of factors. One is, obviously, I love the sport, and I love playing it. But in the past few seasons, I’ve had a pretty pessimistic revelation — or you could just say it’s a realistic realization — which is that maybe I’m not 100% cut out for the sport. I’ve managed to make it this far, and I’m ever thankful to have been able to make it this far in my career, just based on a combination of skill and persistence and obviously luck and some great mentors along the road. You know, it’s kind of disheartening to come to this realization, because in the past few seasons, I always thought I wasn’t good enough, but I could be better. And I always felt like it could be better. But these past two seasons, I started feeling like maybe this is my limit. And this is my peak. And that’s still not enough for me to comfortably play hockey.
I don’t think they need me as much as they say they need me, and I don’t think I have that much to offer, which I know is brutally honest. But I think if you want to grow as a player, or as a person for that matter, you’ve got to be brutally honest with yourself, at least once in a while. And that’s only one of the reasons I’m considering perhaps switching fields.
The other reason is that I don’t think we’re moving in the right direction. From a personal standpoint, I don’t know where I would play next season. I don’t want to spend another season in Russia playing in the KHL – and perhaps that’s something we really shouldn’t talk about politically with what’s over there right now. China won’t have its own league and, unless you’re paying me seven figures, I don’t want to play in North America, where I’m away from family and everything. No team in their right mind is going to pay me six figures, let alone seven. I don’t think I’m a six-figure player. I think I’m a high-five-figures player. It’s difficult for me to not want to consider retirement. That’s being honest. | https://supchina.com/2022/04/21/i-dont-think-were-moving-in-the-right-direction-rudi-ying-on-chinese-hockey/ | 2022-04-21T11:22:34Z | https://supchina.com/2022/04/21/i-dont-think-were-moving-in-the-right-direction-rudi-ying-on-chinese-hockey/ | true | 1 |

In Matamoros, Mexico, more than 1,500 asylum-seekers are living in squalid conditions in a tent encampment and Mexican officials want them to move.
Officials recently took a page from the Trump administration and threatened to separate asylum-seekers from their children.
A Mexican child welfare official, holding a clipboard, addressed a crowd of asylum-seekers last week in a sprawling tent encampment near the Gateway International Bridge that connects Matamoros to Brownsville, Texas.
In a video taken by an asylum-seeker, an official tells them the encampment is no place for children and that he has the authority to take custody of their kids if they don't move to a new government run shelter, but the parents object.
An asylum-seeker in the crowd asks the official how would he like it if his child was forcibly taken away from him, and tells the official what he's threatening to do is considered kidnapping.
The child welfare agency in Matamoros did not respond to repeated requests for an interview with NPR. In written statements to the media, the agency said not a single child was taken. The agency said the social workers who went to the encampment just wanted to offer the families space at a new shelter.
Erin Thorn Vela, with the Texas Civil Rights Project, said she hopes Mexican officials do keep families together.
"I was really surprised that this tactic would be taken of essentially a new type of family separation on the Mexican side," Thorn Vela said.
She points out that the Trump administration got a lot of blowback over its family separation policy, which aims at discouraging migrant families from illegally crossing into the U.S.
"I would think that they would see how this is really not a good idea and it's not going to end in a good result to threaten people," Thorn Vela said.
Many migrants have been forced to wait in Mexico — sometimes for months — for their hearings in U.S. immigration court under the Trump administration's Remain in Mexico policy.
Migrants say they prefer to live in the encampment where they feel protected by American aid groups and have access to legal help.
They were largely ignored by the U.S. and Mexican governments, that is, until last Friday when Mexican officials decided they wanted to clear the encampment and move the migrants.
Some of the asylum-seekers live in tents and others sleep under bushes or on the streets. Many bathe in the Rio Grande.
Matamoros Mayor Mario Lopez said he's concerned about public health — and the migrants' well-being.
"I want to convey confidence that we're treating them well," Lopez said. "And that we have our doors open to migrants and help them so they can get to their destination, which is the United States."
Lopez said the government would not forcibly move asylum-seekers to the shelter, but panic has still spread.
Migrants said some of the child welfare officials went tent to tent looking for children. One Honduran mother said she refused to let them take her son.
"I told them I couldn't, that I wouldn't let my kid go, and they told me I didn't know the laws here in Mexico," said the woman.
She said an official handed her a notice to appear at a child welfare office, but she said had no intention of going. She asked that we not use her name because she fears retribution.
Like most migrants camped out at the bridge, she said she has no plans of going to the shelter, which is a converted gymnasium that can house 300.
NPR was able to go inside the shelter, which is mostly housing new arrivals, and is only about one-third full.
Another Honduran mother, who decided to go to the new shelter, said she was happy to come to Matamoros with her son.
She said they receive three meals a day, there are restrooms, an on-site doctor and that they're able to sleep in a bed.
Back at the encampment, advocates including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the Texas Civil Rights Project, say they will continue to monitor the situation to make sure the human rights of migrants are respected.

It’s never been more obvious than it is that certain people in this world have a reputation for being “nice” — but they’re anything but. The reality is that many people who don’t mean to be rude cross the line into doing pretty disrespectful things.
But I know now how to tell when someone is being fake and when they just haven’t crossed any lines yet. I’ve learned what common traits real nice people don’t possess.
The truth is, being fake nice is incredibly easy if you know what to look for. Here are some of the 5 most common traits of fake nice people:
1. They have an air of invisibility around them.
This one is pretty self-explanatory. Fake nice people are very much alive and there all around us, but they have mastered the art of appearing invisible.
Real nice people are out there; they’re just not phonies. If someone is nice to you, believe them. They probably mean it, and they aren’t trying to be fake. Real nice people are happy to see you and get along well with others.
2. A fake nice person will be waiting for the other shoe to drop.
The fake people in my life always seem to be setting themselves up for a letdown. I’ll ask them how something is going, and they’ll tell me it’s fine and that nothing is wrong.
Then when something does happen (i.e., the kids argue or someone has something happen in their lives that isn’t such a happy event), they’re so surprised that their whole world has been turned upside down. They don’t act surprised agreeably, and they act surprised with a tone of disappointment.
3. They always have a reason to roll their eyes at you.
Real nice people aren’t constantly rolling their eyes at my family or me.
If I’ve done something wrong or annoying, they’ll point it out without any judgment, but if I’ve done something right (or if there will be no judgment), they’ll just smile and nod in agreement and tell me how proud they are of me.
I know a fake nice person rolls their eyes when they think I won’t see it.
4. People are always surprised by their lack of judgment.
The fake nice people judge us all the time. People are always surprised when they learn that nice people don’t judge others. They may sometimes be shocked by how well someone can be treated when they’re not judging them.
Nice people don’t judge others because they don’t need to. They judge how we look, how we act, how we talk, and even our beliefs.
People are just fine as they are, and judgment doesn’t make them any better — it just makes the person judging feel like the better one.
5. They never know what to do in social situations.
Real nice people are always looking for where to go and how they can help others. They’re not just waiting to be asked, but they love serving others, whether at a simple meal or through a community project.
Fake nice people are afraid of being rejected if they try to help out, so they just wait until someone else asks them. So real nice people serve while fake nice people wait.
The truth is, someone can be very nice and still have some of these traits — maybe even all of these traits. But if you’re looking for someone who will change your life for the better, keep a lookout for the people who don’t possess any of these characteristics.
It will make your life easier to surround yourself with really nice people and when you see one, make sure to let them know how much it means to you!
Confucius said, “Real friendship is more than just being friendly. It’s about doing things for your friends and risking being turned down. It’s about making sure your friends know that you love them.”

Europe is struggling to find ways to stop paying Russia $850 million a day for energy and hit the Kremlin’s finances over its invasion of Ukraine. Leaders of the 27-member European Union are finding that reversing decades of dependence on Russian oil and natural gas is not a simple matter.
The EU is now discussing sanctions on Russian oil, including a possible boycott. Here is what such a move could mean for people in Europe and the rest of the world:
HOW MUCH DOES EUROPE PAY RUSSIA FOR ENERGY?
Gas and oil are flowing to Europe even as governments denounce the war. The EU sends $450 million a day to Russia for oil and $400 million per day for natural gas, according to calculations by analysts at the Bruegel think tank in Brussels.
That means energy revenue is bolstering the Kremlin’s budget, adding to foreign currency reserves even as Western sanctions have targeted Russia’s reserves abroad. The Russian government got an average of 43% of its revenue from oil and gas between 2011 and 2020.
HOW MUCH RUSSIAN OIL GOES TO EUROPE?
Europe is the biggest purchaser of Russian crude, receiving 138 million tons in 2020 out of Russia’s total exports of 260 million tons — or 53%, according to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy. Europe, which imports almost all of its crude, gets a quarter of its needs from Russia.
Oil is refined into fuel for heating and driving as well as being a raw material for industry.
WHY IS THE FOCUS ON OIL INSTEAD OF NATURAL GAS?
It’s harder to find alternative sources of natural gasbecause it comes mainly by pipeline. It would be easier to find other sources for oil, which mostly moves by tanker and is traded globally.
Natural gas is off the table for now. Heavy users like Germany say an immediate cutoff could cost jobs, with industrial associations warning of shutdowns in glass and metals businesses.
Cutting off both natural gas and oil would likely cause a recession in Europe, economists say. European governments agreed to stop Russian coal imports starting in August, but that’s a relatively small part of energy payments to Russia.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF RUSSIAN OIL SUPPLIES STOP?
Europe imported 3.8 million barrels a day from Russia before the war. In theory, European customers could replace those barrels from suppliers in the Middle East, whose exports now mostly go to Asia, as well as from the United States, Latin America and Africa. Meanwhile, cheaper Russian oil could take the place of the Middle East shipments to Asia.
But it would take time for global markets to make that adjustment. In Europe, customers might scramble to reverse the usual east-west movement of oil using rail, truck and river barge. Refineries making gasoline and other products are set up for Russia’s particular kind of oil. Several major refineries depend on a pipeline from Russia.
Analysts at the Bruegel think tank say European countries should be ready to impose measures to reduce fuel use, such as making public transport free and incentivizing car-sharing. If those measures don’t work, tougher ones such as odd-even driving bans based on license plate numbers would be needed. Similar measures were taken during the 1973 OPEC oil embargo, when Germany imposed car-free Sundays.
“This would give markets enough time for a structural reorientation away from Russian oil,” the analysts said.
Phasing in a ban over the rest of the year would be one way to prevent shortages. Germany has already said it plans to end Russian oil imports by year’s end.
Prices for oil would likely go up, not just for Europe but for everyone, because oil is a global commodity and a net loss of supplies from Russia would be likely. That would meanhigher costs for driving and heating fueland more consumer inflation.
Russia is a major supplier of Europe’s diesel fuel for trucks and farm equipment, meaning its price affects those for a wide range of food and goods.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE GLOBAL OIL MARKET?
All of Russia’s oil couldn’t be redirected from Europe to Asia due to shipping and logistical constraints. It’s not clear to what extent buyers in countries like India and China would buy Russian oil if it means possible sanctions trouble with the West.
The OPEC oil cartel led by Saudi Arabia — which sets production levels along with allied non-members like Russia — has made it clear it won’t increase output to make up for any supply loss from Russia due to a boycott.
“It would be a major, major, major rebalancing of crude flows,” said Claudio Galimberti, senior vice president for analysts at Rystad Energy. “From a theoretical standpoint, it’s possible. From an operational standpoint, it’s more complicated because not everything can be redirected.”
Global demand for oil was already high as economies rebounded from the COVID-19 pandemic, and uncertainties over the war exacerbated the tight market and high prices. U.S. President Joe Biden has ordered releases from the strategic petroleum reserve to combat rising gasoline prices for Americans, while 30 other nations also have agreed to send more oil to the global market.
In the most severe scenario of a loss of Russia’s 3.8 million barrels to Europe and other countries refusing its oil, a huge price spike to $180 per barrel could happen, followed by a sharp fall due to declining demand and economic growth. However, “that does not look like it’s going to be the case,” Galimberti said.
Rystad’s expectation is a loss of 1.5 million to 2 million barrels per day and oil reaching $120 to $130 per barrel by year’s end.
A milder scenario, in which most Russian oil shunned by Europe is snapped up at a discount in other energy-hungry countries, would see a loss of only 1 million barrels per day. Oil prices would drop below $100 by June and keep falling to $60 by year’s end. That’s not too far from today’s situation, with some traders and banks shunning Russian oil even without sanctions.
“It’s a huge price range, but that’s reflective of the huge uncertainty we have on the Russian loss,” Galimberti said.
HOW MUCH WOULD A BOYCOTT COST RUSSIA?
The price for Russia’s main export benchmark to Europe, Urals crude, has been knocked down to a $35-per-barrel discount compared to international benchmark Brent. Yet because of generally higher oil prices, Russia’s revenue losses have so far been limited. Those foreign currency earnings are helping prop up Russian finances amid sanctions.
“As long as Russian barrels find a market, then Russia is in business,” Galimberti said. “The moment they stop finding a market, that is the moment when oil prices shoot up and Russia will have serious economic problems.” | https://www.klfy.com/business/explainer-whats-the-impact-if-europe-cuts-off-russian-oil/ | 2022-04-21T11:28:53Z | https://www.klfy.com/business/explainer-whats-the-impact-if-europe-cuts-off-russian-oil/ | false | 33 |
Fintech major MobiKwik’s application to operate Zaakpay as a payment aggregator has been rejected by the Reserve Bank of India, two people with knowledge of the matter told Business Today.
Following this, the Gurugram-based firm, which has approval from India's market regulator for its Rs 1,900 crore IPO, will not be able to onboard new merchants and existing merchants who offer Zaakpay as a payment gateway will get 180 days to stop using it, the sources said.
The sources have also said that one of the key reasons behind RBI’s rejection of the payment aggregator’s licence could be because of MobiKwik’s support to cryptocurrency exchanges via Zaakpay.
RBI's rejection comes on the heels of various Indian crypto exchanges disabling the usage of Unified Payments Interface (UPI) services on their platform. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), an umbrella organisation for operating retail payments and settlement systems, had recently come out with an official statement stating that the organisation was "not aware of any crypto exchange using UPI”. Days after NPCI's clarification, UPI services were disabled across various Indian crypto exchanges.
MobiKwik was one of the popular e-wallets services on cryptocurrency exchanges. The sudden suspension of UPI services also has left these exchanges in a lurch, which are now resorting to peer-to-peer transfer and agreements with a few selected banks for crypto trading.
MobiKwik declined to comment on our queries. RBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The story will be updated as and when the central bank responds.
MobiKwik’s business is divided into three segments comprising of 'Buy Now Pay Later' or BNPL, consumer payments or wallet, and its payment gateway which is Zaakpay.
Founded in 2009 by the husband-wife team of Bipin Preet Singh and Upasana Taku, MobiKwik introduced Zaakpay as its payment gateway in 2012 to enable websites and apps to collect payments from their users using multiple options, including debit and credit cards, mobile wallets, UPI and net banking.
Sources also say that this recent development can affect the IPO plans of the company, which have already been delayed due to the ongoing downturn in the stock market.
In its Draft Red Herring Prospectus, the company had stated: “While our consumer payments and BNPL segments significantly rely on Zaakpay’s services for processing payments within the MobiKwik ecosystem. In fiscals 2019, 2020 and 2021, our payment gateway costs to Zaakpay amounted to Rs 646.61 million, Rs 1,428.82 million and Rs 1,397.26 million, respectively. Accordingly, any disruption in the functioning of Zaakpay, even if caused due to factors completely external to us, can adversely affect the operations of our MobiKwik Wallet and BNPL products, including MobiKwik Zip, as well as our brand and reputation.”

AT&T rises as postpaid net adds approach 700,000 in Q1
AT&T (NYSE:T) shares rose in premarket trading on Thursday after the Dallas-based telecom provider said it added nearly 700,000 postpaid phone subscribers during the quarter.
During the period, AT&T earned 77 cents per share on $38.1 billion in revenue, including $29.7 billion from continuing operations, up 2.5% year-over-year. Net income from continuing operations came in at 65 cents per share.
Wall Street analysts were expecting the company to earn 71 cents per share.
AT&T (T) shares rose slightly more than 1% to $19.65 in premarket trading.
Verizon (VZ), which competes with AT&T (T), is set to report first-quarter earnings tomorrow morning.
In addition, AT&T said wireless revenue grew 5.5% to $20.1 billion as it added 691,000 subscribers, its highest level in a decade.
However, operating income for the segment fell 3.2% year-over-year to $5.9 billion. Expenses during the quarter were up 9.5% year-over-year to $14.2 billion, as the company shut down its 3G network, incurred higher equipment costs, spent more on bundling HBO Max and had other expenses.
“AT&T has entered a new era, meeting this opportunistic moment from a position of flexibility and strength thanks to our evolving networks, enhanced customer experience, growing 5G and fiber customer base and a much stronger balance sheet," AT&T Chief Executive John Stankey said in a statement.
The company, which also spun out its WarnerMedia segment into the newly merged Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), said HBO and HBO Max added 3 million subscribers during the quarter, a stark contrast to Netflix (NFLX), which recently said it lost 200,000 subscribers during the quarter, including 700,000 from suspending its operations in Russia.
At the end of the quarter, HBO and HBO Max had 76.8 million subscribers, including 48.6 million domestically, a figure that rose 1.8 million from the previous quarter. | https://seekingalpha.com/news/3825183-att-rises-as-postpaid-net-adds-approach-700000-in-q1 | 2022-04-21T11:31:44Z | https://seekingalpha.com/news/3825183-att-rises-as-postpaid-net-adds-approach-700000-in-q1 | true | 1 |

$134 million project adds more truck lanes to California port of entry
SAN DIEGO ( Border Report ) — The U.S. General Services Administration, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection cut the ribbon on the expanded commercial side of Otay Mesa Port of Entry.
The facility now counts on 16 traffic lanes instead of nine and is supposed to have “improved traffic circulation” for thousands of trucks that cross the border through this port of entry on a daily basis.
In 2021, 108,000 rigs entered the U.S. at this facility carrying televisions, trucks and other items totaling $37 billion worth of products for the year.
The new lanes are expected to expedite crossing times for truckers improving the flow of goods between Mexico and the U.S.
“GSA embraces our agency partnerships which are enabling the accomplishment of multiple missions while having a positive economic impact on the greater San Diego community,” said GSA’s Public Buildings Service Commissioner Nina Albert. “The role of PBS in the building industry puts us in a unique position to have a lasting, positive impact. Otay Mesa is a great example where we see traffic having an impact on the economy and community. Here, we’ve aligned sustainability features of design and construction plans with the culture of the community and its needs without compromising operational mission objectives.”
Truck inspections returning to normal at Texas-Chihuahua border Dignitaries from both sides of the border attended the dedication ceremony of this $134 million project.
“The Otay Mesa Land Port of Entry is an important part of our regional economy,” said U.S. Rep Juan Vargas, D-Califonia. “Otay Mesa is one of the busiest commercial ports of entry, and these improvements will invest in more efficient flows of commerce and boost commercial processing. Expanding and modernizing this port of entry will benefit the economy on both sides of the border, and I’m proud to have supported this vital project from its inception to completion.”
Others said the expanded commercial crossing is coming along at a perfect time.
“Otay Mesa is an economic engine fueling the Cali-Baja region, and fueling our two states and, frankly, fueling our two nations,” said Alejandra Mier y Teran, executive director of the Otay Mesa Chamber of Commerce. “We have more import and export food-related products crossing through our border and e-commerce is booming in this region so what better timing to add commercial truck lanes than now.”
Texas truck checks stymie border commerce, merchants sayMier y Teran said the added commercial traffic in recent months has already added 5,000 jobs in the immediate region with more on the way.
“These industries are fueling more workers and more jobs,” she said.
Visit BorderReport.com for the latest exclusive stories and breaking news about issues along the U.S.-Mexico borderOthers agreed with Mier y Teran.
“Improvements to the commercial area will directly benefit our economy and our bilateral trade,” said Carlos Gonzalez Gutierrez, Mexico’s Consul General in San Diego.
The project also includes a new parking structure for CBP employees and new office facilities.

Ukrainian Elina Svitolina disagrees with Wimbledon Russia ban as she wants Putin denounced
ELINA SVITOLINA said Wimbledon's blanket ban on Russian and Belarusian players like Daniil Medvedev was not what Ukrainians wanted.
Ukrainian world No 25 Elina Svitolina has admitted she doesn’t agree with Wimbledon’s blanket ban on Russian and Belarusian players. It comes after she led her fellow Ukrainian players in sharing a statement calling on the ATP and WTA to question players from the two nations on their views on the war.
Svitolina has claimed that a ban on all Russian and Belarusian Players at Wimbledon is not what she and her fellow Ukrainian athletes wanted to happen. The tournament announced the decision on Wednesday in a strong statement condemning both countries’ actions in invading Ukraine, prompting the 27-year-old and her fellow Ukrainian players to release a statement asking both tours to ban players who fail to denounce Putin and the war.
When asked whether she would be communicating with other tournaments to impose a ban on Russian and Belarusian tennis players, Svitolina told the BBC: “For now this was not the idea to do. We just wanted to say our opinion with the statement that we posted. What we think is the right decision to do.”
The former world No 3 reiterated that she and her Ukrainian colleagues did not want all players from the two nations to face a blanket ban, instead asking them to speak out against their country’s actions, adding: “And again, I want to say that we don’t want to completely ban them but we just want them to speak up, to say their choice. If they are with the rest of the world or they are with Russian people and the Russian government so this is for me the main point.”
JUST IN: Andy Murray fires back after Madrid Masters wild card criticism
A former semi-finalist at Wimbledon, Svitolina said it was also “the right thing to do” to allow Russian and Belarusian tennis players to compete at the All England Club if they publicly came out to denounce their government and the war. “Because if for example they didn’t choose, they didn’t vote for this government then it’s fair that they will be allowed to play and compete,” she explained.
Several Russian players, including ATP world No 2 Daniil Medvedev and WTA world No 15 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, have already called for “peace”, while ATP world No 8 Andrey Rublev went viral when he wrote “no war please” on the camera during his run to the Dubai title in February, but the 16-time title winner explained why these messages weren’t enough. She said: “I think this is a very light kind of statement because how do you understand ‘no war’?
“You know, ‘no war’, what it means [is] like that our Ukrainian soldiers should just give up and give away our land, is that what is no war? You can think about this in different kinds of ways so that’s why in our statement it clearly says speak up about what you think about your government if they’re doing the right thing.”

The statement, shared by Svitolina as well as the likes of WTA No 52 Marta Kostyuk and recently-retired ATP pro Sergiy Stakhovsky, read: “We noticed that some Russian and Belarusian players at some point vaguely mentioned the war, but never clearly stating that Russia and Belarus started it on the territory of Ukraine. The very silence of those who choose to remain that way right now is unbearable as it leads to the continuation of murder in our homeland.”
Calling on the governing bodies in tennis to get answers from their Russian and Belarusian players, the statement continued: "We demand that the WTA, ATP and ITF make sure that players who repre-sent Russia and Belarus answer the following questions: 1. Do you support Russia's and Belarus invasion in Ukraine's territory and as a result of that the war started by those countries? 2. Do you support Russia's and Belarus military activities in Ukraine? 3. Do you support Putin's and Lukashenko's regime?" | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/1599027/Elina-Svitolina-Daniil-Medvedev-Wimbledon-Russia-Ukraine-Belarus-Putin-war-tennis-news-ban | 2022-04-21T11:37:30Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/1599027/Elina-Svitolina-Daniil-Medvedev-Wimbledon-Russia-Ukraine-Belarus-Putin-war-tennis-news-ban | true | 1 |

The institute gives e-certificates to all registered students nominated by their respective schools who attend the lecture. These students, an IIT Delhi statement said, will also be invited to 'Open House’. Open House is an annual intellectual fest by IIT Delhi which seeks to provides an ideal platform for school students to connect with some of the researchers in the field of science and technology.
“Schools may reach out to Associate Dean, Academic Outreach and New Initiatives, IIT Delhi (adoni@iitd.ac.in; acadoutreach@iitd.ac.in) to nominate their students for the SciTech Spins lecture series,” it added.
“In this lecture, I will talk about how to reconstruct past climate using chemistry of natural materials like lake and ocean sediments, which store information of past rainfall and temperature variability,” said Prof Yama Dixit, Centre for Atmospheric Sciences, IIT Delhi.
“The earth is warming at an unprecedented rate, and it is unknown as to how various climate processes such as monsoon rainfall will change in response to this warming. In the past, Earth has witnessed warmer and colder periods than present. Past history of Earth’s climate can help us better understand the future changes in climate processes in projected warming,” the institute statement said.
The speaker will address questions including ‘Rainfall and elemental isotopes: How are they related? Would you believe that Thar desert in Northwest India was once a densely populated region? How can the ocean bed be used as an archive of past climate changes? How are the 'natural climate experiments' recorded in lakes and oceans? Could climate change have caused ancient civilizations to collapse? How close are we to a climate catastrophe on this warming Earth? | https://www.ndtv.com/education/iit-delhis-8th-scitech-spins-lecture-for-school-students-on-april-23 | 2022-04-21T11:38:25Z | https://www.ndtv.com/education/iit-delhis-8th-scitech-spins-lecture-for-school-students-on-april-23 | true | 1 |
Hundreds of protesters rallied on Wednesday night in the Sudanese city of Omdurman as part of an ongoing movement to demand civilian rule, Anadolu has reported. Calls were also made for those responsible for killing protesters to be prosecuted.
The protesters gathered in the southern neighbourhood of Omdurman to break their daily Ramadan fast before walking to Al-Fatihah Street. They raised national flags and pictures of the victims of the security forces as they walked.
Sudan has witnessed frequent protests since 25 October last year calling for civilian rule and rejecting the exceptional measures announced by army chief Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan. The most notable of these is the state of emergency and the dissolution of the Sovereignty Council.
Protests have also been held in cities across Sudan, including Khartoum, in solidarity with the "Committee for Dismantling the 30 June 1989 Regime, Removal of Empowerment and Corruption, and Recovery of Public Funds" to demand the release of its members. The Baath and Congress parties and activists posted video clips and images of the vigils on Facebook.
Al-Burhan formed the committee in 2019 to "end the control of ousted regime symbols over the state, fight corruption, and recover looted funds." However, last October he suspended the committee's work "until a law regulating its work is reviewed."
Opposition forces and human rights organisations accuse the Sudanese authorities of arresting political leaders and dozens of activists in the resistance committees. The authorities claim that the arrests were made in accordance with the law.

LONDON (AP) — British lawmakers looked likely Thursday to order an investigation into Prime Minister Boris Johnson for allegedly lying about whether he broke coronavirus restrictions by attending illegal gatherings during the pandemic.
The opposition Labour Party has called a House of Commons vote that, if passed, would trigger a watchdog committee probe of Johnson for allegedly misleading Parliament. Ministers found to have knowingly misled Parliament are generally expected to resign.
Johnson’s Conservatives have a substantial majority in Parliament, but many are uneasy with the prime minister’s behavior and could support the opposition move. The government initially said it would order Conservative lawmakers to oppose Labour’s motion, but later backtracked in the face of party disquiet and gave them a free vote — significantly raising the chances the measure will pass.
Labour leader Keir Starmer said his measure sought to uphold “the simple principle that honesty, integrity and telling the truth matter in our politics.”
Johnson wasn't attending the vote on a scandal that has rocked his leadership of the country and the Conservative Party. He was more than 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometers) away in India, insisting he wanted to “get on with the job” of leading the country.
Johnson was fined 50 pounds ($66) by police last week for attending his own birthday party in his office in June 2020, when people in Britain were barred from meeting up with friends and family, or even visiting dying relatives. Johnson is the first British prime minister ever found to have broken the law while in office.
He has apologized, but denied he knowingly broke the rules. Johnson’s shifting defense — initially saying there were no illegal gatherings, then claiming it “did not occur to me” that the birthday event was a party — has drawn derision and outrage from opponents, who have called for him to quit.
It has also made some Conservatives uncomfortable about defending a leader who broke rules he imposed on the country. Until now many have indicated they will wait and see whether public anger translates into losses for the party at local elections across the country on May 5.
Senior civil servant Sue Gray is investigating 16 events, including “bring your own booze” office parties and “wine time Fridays” in Johnson’s 10 Downing St. office and other government buildings. Police are probing a dozen of the events and so far have handed out at least 50 tickets, including those to Johnson, his wife Carrie and Treasury chief Rishi Sunak, and Johnson could still face more police fines.
As he flew out to India for a two-day visit official focused on boosting economic ties, Johnson again denied knowingly misleading Parliament.
And he insisted he would lead the Conservatives into the next national election, due by 2024. He said aboard his plane to the western Indian state of Gujarat that there might be “some imaginary circumstances in which I might have to resign, but I don’t propose to go into them. I can’t think of them right now.” | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/UK-lawmakers-vote-on-whether-to-probe-Johnson-s-17116130.php | 2022-04-21T11:40:15Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/UK-lawmakers-vote-on-whether-to-probe-Johnson-s-17116130.php | true | 17 |

Biden set to announce new military assistance for Ukraine
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is set to announce plans to send additional military aid to help Ukraine fight back against the Russian invasion, according to a U.S. official.
The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Biden will deliver a Thursday morning address at the White House detailing his plans to build on the roughly $2.6 billion in military assistance the administration has already approved for Ukraine.
The new package is expected to be similar in size to the $800 million package Biden announced last week. It includes much needed heavy artillery and ammunition for Ukrainian forces in the escalating battle for the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.
Earlier this week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also said his country will send heavy artillery to Ukraine. And Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the Netherlands will send more heavy weapons, including armored vehicles.
A senior U.S. defense official on Wednesday said training of Ukrainian personnel on American 155mm howitzers has begun in a European country outside Ukraine.
Biden on Wednesday lauded U.S. military officials for “exceptional” work arming Ukraine as he gathered the nation’s military brass for their first in-person group meeting at the White House of his presidency.
It’s an annual tradition that had been put on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic but is now being resurrected as the U.S. arms Ukraine to help it fight back against Russia’s invasion.
“I don’t know about you, but I’ve been to Ukraine a number of times before the war ... and I knew they were tough and proud but I tell you what: They’re tougher and more proud than I thought,” Biden told military commanders. “I’m amazed at what they’re doing with your help.”
Biden brought together the Pentagon’s top civilian and uniformed officials amid the most serious fighting in Europe since World War II. Russia’s nearly two-month-old invasion of Ukraine was at the center of wide-ranging talks with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and combatant commanders.
Biden also used the gathering to reflect on his administration’s efforts to diversify Pentagon leadership. Hicks is the first Senate-confirmed woman to hold her role. Biden also chose Gen. Jacqueline Van Ovost of the Air Force as commander of United States Transportation Command and Lt. Gen. Laura Richardson of the Army as commander of United States Southern Command. They are just the second and third women to lead combatant commands.
“It’s an important milestone,” Biden said. “I think that speaks to how we’re harnessing the strength and diversity of our country.”
Following the meeting, Biden and first lady Jill Biden hosted the military leaders and their spouses for dinner in the White House Blue Room.
Such a gathering was last held in October 2019. Donald Trump was president at the time and was facing a House inquiry that would lead to his first impeachment, which centered on allegations that he withheld military assistance from Ukraine as part of an effort to pressure Zelenskyy to dig up dirt on Biden’s adult son’s business dealings in Ukraine.
