Hanumakonda: A youngster attacked a 22-year-old woman on Friday for not accepting his proposal. The accused was identified as Azhar, a resident of Mondrai village of Sangem Mandal.
According to the police, the accused had been harassing the victim for quite some time and was frustrated after being repeatedly rejected by the woman. Enraged, he slit her throat.
The victim, residing near Pochamma Devalayam in Hanumakonda, is an MCA final year student at Kakatiya University and had refused the accused’s proposal several times. On Friday, when her parents were at work, Azhar found the victim alone at home and attacked her. Later, he fled from the scene.
The victim was rushed to MGM Hospital after neighbors heard her screams and alerted the police. She has received superficial injuries and is currently undergoing treatment.
Subedari police are looking for the accused, who is currently absconding. | https://www.siasat.com/telangana-youth-attacks-woman-for-refusing-proposal-2313633/ | 2022-04-22T10:50:17Z | https://www.siasat.com/telangana-youth-attacks-woman-for-refusing-proposal-2313633/ | true | 1 |
Man charged after car stolen with young child inside from North York gas station
A 25-year-old man has been arrested after allegedly stealing a car with a young child inside it from a gas station in North York Thursday morning.
Toronto police said the incident happened around 11 a.m. in the area of Yonge Street and Finch Avenue West.
After filling up her car, a woman went inside the station to pay, leaving her child in the back seat, police said.
While she was paying, police said, a man driving a stolen car got out of his vehicle and got into the woman's car.
Police said the man then drove out of the station and onto Yonge Street with the child still inside.
The woman chased the car on foot, which got the attention of officers nearby.
Police said the man then exited the car and ran away. However, he was later apprehended following a foot pursuit.
The child did not sustain injuries, police said.
John Cabuhat of Toronto has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime, two counts of operation while prohibited, theft of a motor vehicle, possession of break-in instrument and breach of probation.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
Police continue to ask anyone with information to contact them at 416-808-3200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has charged 16 defendants, located in the Bahamas, the British Virgin Islands, Bulgaria, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Monaco, Spain, Turkey, and the UK, for participating in multi-year fraudulent penny stock schemes that generated more than $194m in illicit proceeds.
The SEC investigations leading to these charges involved assistance from securities regulators and other law enforcement authorities in more than 20 countries and are associated, in part, with parallel criminal actions announced by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
Gurbir S. Grewal, director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, said: "We allege that the defendants in these actions orchestrated some of the most complex microcap stock fraud schemes ever charged by the SEC.
"By locating their operations overseas, using encrypted messaging and operating through a convoluted network of offshore accounts, the defendants hoped to avoid detection of the massive frauds we allege they perpetrated on US markets and investors.
"However, investigative teams from three SEC offices doggedly kept on their trail, working across borders, and ended this alleged global scheme."
The SEC's complaints, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, charged all of the defendants with violating the antifraud and registration provisions of the federal securities laws.
The charges, contained in three separate complaints, allege that several defendants played a variety of roles to accumulate the majority of shares in penny stocks via difficult to unveil, offshore nominee companies.
It is also alleged that some of the defendants frequently used encrypted text and phone applications to avoid detection by regulators, and arranged to buy and sell penny stocks from multiple offshore accounts, in furtherance of the fraud.
According to the complaints, once some of the defendants had amassed a significant majority of the shares of the stocks, certain defendants secretly funded promotional campaigns to promote the stocks to unsuspecting investors in the United States and elsewhere.
As alleged, when those campaigns triggered increases in the demand for and price of the stocks, some of the defendants sold the stocks via trading platforms in Asia, Europe and the Caribbean for significant profits.
The SEC is seeking permanent injunctions, disgorgement of allegedly ill-gotten gains plus interest, and civil penalties against all the defendants; penny stock bars against all the individual defendants; conduct-based injunctions against 11 of the 15 individual defendants; and officer and director bars against eight of the individual defendants.
On the emergency applications, the Court issued orders on April 12 and April 15 freezing and directing repatriation of the assets of six defendants.
The SEC further highlighted the assistance of the US. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The investigations also involved assistance from the following securities regulators and other government authorities:
- Alberta Securities Commission,
- Securities Commission of the Bahamas,
- British Columbia Securities Commission,
- Cayman Islands Monetary Authority,
- Curaçao Korps Landelijke Politiediensten,
- Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission,

Sean Hoare wants to finish a big week on a high after warning the league that Shamrock Rovers are only getting started.
The Hoops go to arch enemies Bohemians tonight looking for a fifth win in a row - and the third in a week after seeing off Dundalk and St Pat’s in recent days.
In doing so, they have whittled down Derry City’s six-point lead to a single point going into tonight’s matches, where the Candystripes host UCD.
Derry lost at home to Shels a week ago and were held away to Drogheda on Monday, after which Ruaidhri Higgins was at pains to claim that Rovers’ form wasn’t his concern.
Mind games perhaps, or protesting too much. Either way, the momentum that the champions are generating won’t be lost on Derry - or anyone else for that matter.
Bohs have been inconsistency personified this season but were resounding 4-1 winners away to Shels on Monday and are unbeaten in their last four games.
They will try to put up a roadblock for a Rovers team who are already six points clear of St Pat’s in third - and who won the league by 16 points last season.
But centre-back Hoare is determined to see Rovers finish the week with nine points from nine as they prepare to enter the lion’s den tonight.
Hoare said: “I think this round of games especially, we’ve upped the gears and controlled games more.
“We played well in the last round of games I suppose, but we weren’t really taking chances or anything like that. I definitely think we’ve upped the gears now.
“These are a tough three games to have, but we just have to deal with it. We made changes against Dundalk and anyone can start in this team.
“That’s one of the advantages when we have a big squad.
“But you can’t be thinking ‘Oh, we won it last year by 16 points.' If you think you're going to win it by that much, you won’t at all. You’ll trip up.”
Hoare continued: “Looking back on this time last year it was so different – Sligo Rovers were up there.
“A lot can change in two or three rounds so look, if Derry are still up there at the end they've obviously done something right.
“We're just trying to beat everyone as they come. I’m looking forward to tonight. It’ll be a good atmosphere.
“Bohs won on Monday, a good win. I think form goes out the window in these games and they’ll definitely be up for it.”
Hoare is playing a leading role in a Rovers rearguard that no longer calls on Joey O’Brien’s experience after he retired to become Damien Duff’s No 2 at Shelbourne.
And Hoare - a four-time title winner with Rovers, twice with Dundalk and also with St Pat’s - feels it’s now a settled back three alongside Roberto Lopes and Lee Grace.
Hoare also has the bragging rights - for now anyway, with his one and only goal - in the trio’s season-long bet as to who will score more goals.
“The three of us are big and we can header balls, so we have a little bet between us. I’ve one and the others don't, so it's a bit of banter between us,” he laughed.
"We do have a few quid on it, the three of us. Pico will tell you that. We just want to outscore the other one."
But Hoare feels the defenders should be weighing in with more goals, adding: “I suppose so with the amount of corners we get and the deliveries are unbelievable.
“Other teams know that threat and get on to it. So hopefully we can contribute as well.”
Hoare is playing on the right side of the back three but will do a job anywhere.
He said: “I like the middle position as well, so when Pico is missing - he was missing a lot last year with the international stuff - I went in there nicely and enjoyed it.
“But really we just want clean sheets at the other end. Against Dundalk on Monday, it was only a matter of time before we got the goal and we hung on well.
“Us defenders take pride in a 1-0 win especially - it makes the clean sheet all the more important.”
Hoare would snap your hand off for another one of those tonight but Ali Coote believes that the "real Bohs" will show up at Dalymount Park.
Their campaign to date has been marked by inconsistency as well as manager Keith Long overseeing the rebuilding of his side following a raft of winter departures and arrivals.
But Monday’s emphatic 4-1 victory at Shelbourne underlined the ruthlessness that does exist in this side that also beat Sligo at The Showgrounds three weeks ago.
“We’ve only lost two games and have been putting points on the board although obviously not as many as we would have liked,” said Coote,
“Hopefully we can build on Monday and show the fans that the real Bohs are back. The win at Shels was exactly what we needed after this string of results that didn’t really go our way.” | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/soccer-news/sean-hoare-feels-shamrock-rovers-26772028 | 2022-04-22T10:59:13Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/soccer-news/sean-hoare-feels-shamrock-rovers-26772028 | false | 1 |

Van der Sar chooses Mane over Benzema for Ballon d'Or
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar thinks Liverpool forward Sadio Mane should be considered for the Ballon d’Or award ahead of Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.
The retired Dutch shot-stopper, now chief executive of Ajax, says Mane has shown his importance to both Senegal and Liverpool this season but he is not getting the credit he deserves.
"Benzema Ballon d’Or? For me it’s no. Wait, there’s a player currently doing just as well as Benzema and no one is talking about him,” Van der Sar said, during a Twitter space last week as quoted by Africatopsports.
Editors' Picks
He added: “Do you know Sadio Mane? Along with [Mohamed] Salah, Sadio has been Liverpool’s best player for several seasons now. If any player should win the Ballon d’Or, it’s him.”
That high praise for Mane, who has 19 goals and three assists in 42 games for Liverpool this season, over Benzema (38 goals and 13 assists in 38 games) has left opinion divided among fans online.
“Love Sadio but he's not even having the best season of the Liverpool front three. Liverpool without Mane would still be a top team, Real without Benzema would be in the Europa League,” said @bruceford27, who thinks Benzema is way ahead of Mane.
But @shotgunloverr disagreed. “Liverpool without Mane wouldn't be in the FA Cup final, would be maybe third, wouldn't have a Carabao Cup title. Senegal without Mane would not have an Afcon and aren't in the World cup. He's having a fantastic season,” he said, enumerating Mane’s recent achievements.
“Mane is doing well but not as well as Benzema!! Benzema is higher,” responded @benramdaneomar9 with @RichYoung2020 also in agreement with him, “Benzema is doing outrageously well.”
@GottfriedEiseb feels Mane is up there with the best. “There are some idiots who will nominate [Lionel] Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo again as top five candidates. Mane deserves a nomination for the top three,” was his assessment.
“Sadio who?” posed @Kamal1442, perhaps wondering why the Senegalese is being touted for the Ballon d’Or while @SirGoddey agreed with Van der Sar, saying briefly, “True statement.”
“Just the king,” said @Sm10Junior in support of Mane.
While Van der Sar’s sentiments are likely to raise further debate, there is no denying Mane’s importance to both Senegal and Liverpool, especially this year.
Mane scored decisive penalties for Senegal when they won a maiden Africa Cup of Nations title as well as sealing a World Cup ticket, at the expense of Egypt on both occasions, and his goals have kept Liverpool in the hunt for an unprecedented quadruple. | https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/mane-over-benzema-for-ballon-d-or-van-der-sar-chooses/blt13369df6ec240a50 | 2022-04-22T11:07:20Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/mane-over-benzema-for-ballon-d-or-van-der-sar-chooses/blt13369df6ec240a50 | false | 6 |
The Tivoli in Cambridge was set to reopen for the first time in five years today, Friday, April 22, but the iconic pub's relaunch has been postponed, according to Cambridge & District CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale). It's "not clear" how much longer punters will have to wait before they can finally see The Tivoli's new look, but the pub has said that it will announce its new launch date next week.
The former Wetherspoons pub closed down after a fire destroyed its roof and interior in March 2015 and has lain dormant ever since. But after being acquired by City Pub Group, it has been remodelled and promises unique new features including street food stalls, a shuffleboard basement and an indoor golf course.
For the uninitiated, shuffleboard is a game in which players slide weighted pucks down a narrow wooden table into - ideally - high-scoring zones. The Tivoli says that their shuffleboards, which were handmade in Texas, USA, have been installed and are ready for action.

An indoor golf course has also been set up in the pub. The Tivoli says: "They will be 9 hole courses, that you will move around, working your way through various obstacles, amongst raw concrete walls and a soft neon glow. Next door to the courses will be our golf bar, perfect for grabbing a drink between swings!"
As well as drinks, Levels pizza and Steak & Honour burgers will be served. Are you excited for The Tivoli to reopen at long last?

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez share photo of baby girl after tragedy
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have shared the first photo of their baby girl.
In a post on Instagram, Ronaldo can be seen holding his new daughter and smiling with his four other children and long-term partner Rodriguez. “Home sweet home,” he wrote. “Gio and our baby girl are finally together with us.
“We want to thank everyone for all the kind words and gestures. Your support is very important and we all felt the love and respect that you have for our family. Now it’s time to be grateful for the life that we’ve just welcomed into this world.”
The couple had said their newborn daughter was giving the two “strength” following the tragic death of his baby boy. The two, who were born on 18 April, were the fifth and sixth children of the Manchester United forward and followed Rodriguez giving birth to Alana Martina, on 12 November 2017.
Ronaldo became a father for the first time in June 2010 to his son, Cristiano Jr. and then became father to twins, daughter Eva and son Mateo, born in June 2017 in the United States via surrogacy.
The Portuguese superstar and his partner penned a joint statement that was posted on social media on Monday evening: “It is with our deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our baby boy. It’s the greatest pain any parent can feel. Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.
“We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support. We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.”
The news comes just weeks after Georgina had posted a touching tribute to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner as they eagerly awaited their new arrivals. “Every day by your side is happy and special,” she said on Instagram. “We love you indefinitely. Thank you so much to the best dad in the world.”
Tributes have poured in following the devastating news. United responded to the 37-year-old’s social media post by saying: “Your pain is our pain, @Cristiano. Sending love and strength to you and the family at this time.”
Marcus Rashford has also led the response from his Man Utd team-mates in sending messages of support. The forward said: “Thoughts are with you and Georgina brother. I’m so sorry.” David de Gea also posted a heart in response to Ronaldo’s post.
Ronaldo’s sister Katia Aveiro has also addressed the tragedy, referencing their father, who passed away in 2005. She wrote an open letter that read: “I love you and my heart is with you over there. May God take care of you and strengthen your path more and more. Our angel is already on father’s lap. And our little girl is there firm and strong and full of health and is going to show us with every day that only love matters.”

Manchester United to hand Erik ten Hag £200m for transfers ahead of mass summer exodus
Erik ten Hag is set to get £200m to spend on signings at Manchester United this summer, while up to 12 players could be leaving.
The Red Devils officially announced that the Dutchman will be their new manager at the end of the season as he leaves Ajax signing a three-year deal, with an option of a fourth, at Old Trafford.
Manchester United agreed a £2.5m compensation package with Ajax for Erik ten Hag and his assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.
Manchester United’s players have been told of Erik ten Hag’s imminent appointment as their new boss as the restructure ahead of his arrival gets underway.
There will be several players heading out the exit door in the upcoming transfer window as Mirror Football can exclusively reveal there will be a major exodus at United with up to as many as 12 players leaving Old Trafford.
Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata and Lee Grant are all set to leave as free agents while at least six other players including Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Alex Telles, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford – could join them to allow Ten Hag to begin his overhaul with Ralf Rangnick suggesting there will be as many as ten new arrivals..
Ten Hag will have a £200million budget to operate with this summer with Harry Kane, Declan Rice, Darwin Nunez, Ruben Neves, Jurrien Timber and Antony among his targets

Chelsea takeover: Lewis Hamilton and Serena Williams join Sir Martin Broughton consortium
Lewis Hamilton and Serena Williams are committing millions of pounds to one of the bids vying to become the new owners of Chelsea.
Sky News revealed the full line-up of investors backing the takeover offer for the club being spearheaded by Sir Martin Broughton, the former Liverpool and British Airways chairman – the most prominent of whom are the seven-times Formula 1 world champion and the former women’s world tennis No 1.
Sources close to the group said that Hamilton and Williams – the highest-profile members of any of the three remaining consortia – had pledged an estimated £10m each to the bid.
Both Hamilton, who will compete for Mercedes at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola this weekend – live on Sky Sports – and Williams, who has won 23 Grand Slams including seven Wimbledon titles, have become established investors in their own right in recent years.
Serena Ventures, the tennis star’s venture capital fund, this week announced an investment in Opensponsorship, a British-based sports technology start-up, while Hamilton has backed a range of early-stage companies such as Zapp, the London-based rapid grocery delivery app.
Their involvement in the Chelsea auction is unexpected – not least because Hamilton is an Arsenal fan.
Hamilton and Williams have, however, been in talks with the group spearheaded by Broughton for several weeks.
It was unclear on Thursday morning which corporate entities would be used by the pair to invest in the Blues.
The consortium is uniquely British-led among the trio of shortlisted bidders and features another UK sporting icon in the form of Sebastian Coe among its backers.
A source close to the group said the addition of Hamilton and Williams was a serious investment decision because of their experience at building global sports brands.
They also pointed out that the involvement of the pair was not the first time famous athletes had backed a Premier League club – NBA star LeBron James has been a small shareholder in Liverpool for more than a decade.
Under the consortium’s plans, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE), the holding company headed by American private equity billionaires Josh Harris and Dave Blitzer, would hold a controlling stake in Chelsea – although they will need to divest their minority shareholding in Crystal Palace prior to completing a deal.
Their involvement with the ownership and running of Crystal Palace since 2015 is also a distinctive factor among the remaining bidders for Chelsea.
The Broughton-led group’s other investors include: Canada’s Rogers family, which holds a big interest in the media and telecoms company Rogers Communications; John Arnold, who chaired the Houston 2026 FIFA World Cup bid committee; and Taiwan’s Tsai family, which owns the Taipei Fubon Braves and Fubon Guardians baseball teams.
As Sky News reported on Monday, Alejandro Santo Domingo, an heir to one of the world’s biggest brewing fortunes and an investor in several North American sports franchises, is also investing in the bid.
Sources close to the offer led by Broughton said the diversity of its roster of global investors was among the factors that had persuaded Hamilton and Williams to become involved.
One insider suggested that Hamilton was likely to play a formal role in Chelsea’s future efforts to promote diversity, equity and inclusion if the bid is successful.
He and Williams have been advocates in their respective sports and beyond in promoting equality, lending their names to numerous anti-discrimination initiatives.
That issue was thrown into sharp focus earlier in the Chelsea sale process when one of the bidders – a consortium headed by the Chicago Cubs-owning Ricketts family – was forced to distance itself from historical Islamophobic remarks.
Broughton’s consortium is said to believe that it is best-placed of the remaining consortia to navigate the complexities of owning Chelsea, including the prospective redevelopment of its Stamford Bridge home.

Consensus and high nomination fees constricting political participation, writes Bolaji Adebiyi
When President Muhammadu Buhari refused to assent to the 2010 Electoral Act Amendment Bill on the ground that the National Assembly, by imposing a mono primaries system on the political parties, was restricting the democratic choices of their members, not a few analysts supported his standpoint. The federal legislature had in an attempt to curb the excesses of the executive, particularly at the state level, imposed direct primaries as the only mode of selection of candidates by political parties.
Faced with the stout presidential opposition and adverse public opinion, the federal legislature expanded the choices to include indirect primaries and consensus modes of selection. But to forestall the propensity of the executive to be overbearing, the legislature legislated a definitive definition of consensus to mean a written consent by all aspirants to concede a position to a particular candidate. Fair enough you might say.
However, the recent special national convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress showed how infinitely mischievous and autocratic the Nigerian politicians could be. It had been suspected that the president refused to sign the amendment bill because consensus, his preferred mode of the candidate selection process, was excluded from the document. It was thought that consensus would enable him to exert his influence on the party in order to affect the choice of not only its national leadership but also its presidential candidate.
Those who were in doubt about the president’s motive had their doubt cleared by the outcome of the special national convention where aspirants who had spent precious time and financial resources to express their aspirations were compelled to stand down for the preferred choice of the executive arm of the government at the federal and state levels. Although this was nothing new in the political space, the electoral law had provided the legal framework for this agelong autocracy which in the main strengthens the tendency of political oligarchs to restrict the democratic space.
Perhaps encouraged by their successful outing at the special national convention the APC oligarchs have tried to extend their exploit to the upcoming primaries for the selection of candidates for the 2023 general elections. Talks of consensus candidacy have rented the air with chieftains harping on its efficacy for the unity of the party. The argument is made that contested primaries tend to divide the party ahead of the general election making eventual victory at the main contest more difficult attainment.
The drawback though is that generalisation and enforcement of consensus, which is obviously being done under duress, tend to constrict the democratic space and deny the party the opportunity to deepen its internal democratic processes and culture. For if one or two or more aspirants contend, it opens the internal process to test of contestation of ideals and the ensuing debate and activities have the potential of refining the policies and programmes of the party.
It is, however, fair to say that this malady is not native to the APC as the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party is equally bitten by this bug even if to a more subtle extent. Fortunately, and given the calibre of the presidential aspirants in the leading parties, the scheme appears to be failing and is bound to founder at the end of the day. With the electoral act 2022 compelling voluntary withdrawal in writing, it remains to be seen how Bola Tinubu, a former senator and two-term governor of Lagos State, and Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president and governor-elect of Adamawa State, would be muscled out of the internal contests in their respectful parties.
With the leading aspirants resisting the restriction of the democratic space, the political oligarchs have employed other means. They have introduced prohibitive nomination fees as a way of fencing aspirants. The PDP was earlier in this gaming method. Those who want to be president on its platform would cough out N40million only. Governorship aspirants would do N21 million, while senatorial hopefuls would obtain forms for N3.5 million. The House of Representatives and House of Assembly forms go for N2.5 million and N600,000 respectively. The party was lenient with the youth, granting a 50 per cent discount.
Social critics who took to the media space to pillory the PDP for its high nomination fees soon found out that it was, in fact, kind. The APC came out with its scales of fees earlier in the week. It was simply scandalous. Presidential aspirants were asked to buy forms for N100 million; governorship contestants would do N50 million; would-be senators would pay N20 million; House of Representatives, N10 million; and House of Assembly, N2 million. Like the PDP, it showed mercy to the youth of 25 to 40 years at a 50 per cent discount.
Expectedly, public outrage has come in a torrent. “The current price placed on participation is the very height of political insensitivity and an open invitation to thievery by anyone who could only corruptly meander himself to power,” Afenifere, the Yoruba socio-cultural group, said through Sola Ebiseni, its general secretary, adding, “How can the poor members of the party who are so blatantly discriminated against, on the basis of their situation in life, contrary to Section 42 of the constitution, participate in the governance of the country, particularly in a country where only a political party can field a candidate and no independent candidate allowed.”
While the social critics have been hauling inventive at the political oligarchs, the victims in both parties have been mute. Already the PDP has reaped N640 million from 17 presidential aspirants alone. The APC result is yet out but it would be mouth-gaping. Notwithstanding the despicable silence within the parties, it should be clear that the democratic space could only shrink to the detriment of the majority of the people who though interested in participating, are unable to step forward because of lack of cash.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — As state lawmakers moved to ban transgender kids from girls’ sports, Kansas’ most visible LGBTQ-rights lobbyist recently said during an interview in a Statehouse corridor that conservatives don’t mind if kindergartners “have their genitals inspected.”
The politically needling comment was bold enough to make Tom Witt’s point, and loud enough for a lobbyist supporter of the ban to hear as she walked by. It was also classic Witt: Boisterous. Engaged. And well-targeted.
Witt is a key reason Kansas is unlikely to join a growing number of states this year with a ban, despite Republican supermajorities in its Legislature. With lawmakers returning Monday from a spring break, supporters don’t yet have the two-thirds majorities to override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of their bill. They didn’t last year, either.
Witt, 60, is executive director of Equality Kansas and a Democratic consultant. During 18 years at the Statehouse, he’s spotlighted conservatives’ bills so that unwanted publicity prompts Republican leaders to disavow them or discourages GOP-led committees from even holding hearings. Others describe him as relentless in pursuing just enough “no” votes when it counts, and was influential enough in the state Democratic Party to help push it to the left.
He’s even let his health slide. In 2017, he ignored growing fatigue to successfully lobby against requiring transgender students to use facilities associated with their genders assigned at birth — then had a heart attack and bypass surgery.
As for this year’s bill, he said unnamed Republicans told him they “really hate” it before voting for it anyway. He said he’s bitter that they might have considered the political cost of voting no.
“This is life and death for some kids,” he said. “This is not trivial. This is not politics.”
Witt plans to retire from activism, lobbying and consulting by year’s end, having mentored younger, self-described progressive lobbyists.
Democratic state Rep. Stephanie Byers, the state’s first elected transgender lawmaker and a retired Wichita band director, credits Witt with connecting her to national groups and making media interviews easier to navigate during her 2020 campaign. Kari Rinker, a friend and American Heart Association lobbyist, said he taught her how to fundraise and work with a nonprofit board.
But Witt is sometimes profane and often pugnacious, even with friends. As for lawmakers, he said, party doesn’t matter: “If they vote against LGBT rights, I’m going to go after them.”
Brittany Jones, the conservative lobbyist who was walking by Witt’s recent hallway interview, begins her recollection of their Statehouse introduction in 2019 with, “I believe he’s made in the image of God just like I am.”
“As soon as he found out who I worked for, he dropped my hand, walked away and wouldn’t speak to me,” said Jones, policy director for the conservative group Kansas Family Voice. Witt doesn’t dispute that.
As Witt fights to keep Kansas from following at least 15 other states in banning transgender athletes from female school and college sports, some Kansas lawmakers are conflicted.
State Sen. David Haley, a Kansas City Democrat, voted no earlier this month but said “reasonable” constituents see the bill as common sense. He was the deciding vote last year against a veto override, giving a speech weighing both sides before voting no — as Witt sat in the main visitors’ gallery, visibly on edge.
“You know, it’s kind of like he’s a Marine Corps drill sergeant when he is committed to the advocacy for his ideology,” Haley said. “It’s like, ‘Everybody line up. This is the way it’s going to go.’”
The Kansas measures have applied to K-12 students, and a few lawmakers cite that as a problem. Witt said elementary schools would be forced to physically inspect children as young as 5 to settle disputes over transgender kids competing against other girls.
The bill’s text doesn’t says exactly how disputes would be resolved, and Haley called Witt’s argument “a little bit beyond belief.” State Rep. Barbara Wasinger, a Republican from western Kansas, said Witt’s argument is diverting attention from what she sees as the real issues, fair competition and scholarship opportunities for young women.
But Witt sees this year’s proposals triggering bullying and suicides. He pointed out a scar on his left cheek and said it’s from being attacked and cut with a knife in a high school bathroom in the 1970s.
“In some respects, not a damn thing has changed,” he said. “In the 70s, the things that trans people are being called today are what gays and lesbians were called then. The panic about bathrooms? We had the bathroom panic in the 70s.”
He also recalled how his activism began ahead of a 2005 statewide vote in favor of banning same-sex marriage in Kansas. A computer software writer and IT troubleshooter, he was living in Wichita with his future husband and their daughter.
“All I ever wanted in my life was a family,” Witt said. “And it felt like those people were coming after it.”

A 31-year-old woman and her husband have been charged with manslaughter following the death of six-year-old Zackariah Charles.
Zackariah was the son of Rnella Charles.
Charles and Stephon Brizan, of Old St Joseph Road, East Dry River, were both charged with the offence on Wednesday following advice received from Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard, SC.
The charges were laid by WPC Morgan-Job of the Homicide Bureau of Investigations (HBI) Region One.
Charles and Brizan are expected to appear before the Port of Spain Magistrates’ Court today to answer to the charges.
According to a police report, on April 12, Zackariah was brought in to the Port of Spain General Hospital by relatives in an unresponsive state. It was reported that he slipped and fell while running to get a towel following his bath that night.
However, he died while undergoing treatment.
A post-mortem later confirmed that he had suffered multiple blunt force injuries about his body prior to his death.
The couple was subsequently detained in connection with the incident.
The investigation was supervised by Inspectors Lynch and Jones and Legal Officer, Insp Mongroo of HBI Region One, with assistance from officers of the Port of Spain Division. | https://trinidadexpress.com/news/local/death-of-six-year-old-zackariah-two-charged/article_1f9cd844-c1d6-11ec-b454-278378f6a00a.html | 2022-04-22T11:31:23Z | https://trinidadexpress.com/news/local/death-of-six-year-old-zackariah-two-charged/article_1f9cd844-c1d6-11ec-b454-278378f6a00a.html | true | 1 |
April 22 (UPI) -- Earth Day, celebrated annually on April 22, started in 1970 when a U.S. senator sought to bring environmental issues to the forefront.
U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson, D-Wis., founded Earth Day in 1970 as a means of drawing attention to environmental issues in the wake of a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 1969.
Nelson recruited U.S. Rep. Pete McCloskey, R-Calif., to co-chair his plans for nationwide events on April 22, and activist Denis Hayes was chosen to spearhead the nationwide organizing. An estimated 20 million Americans participated in events and demonstrations on the first Earth Day.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was founded later that same year.
Other holidays and observances for April 22 include Girl Scout Leader Appreciation Day and National Jelly Bean Day. | https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2022/04/22/Earth-Day-founded-1970/9611650577083/ | 2022-04-22T11:32:01Z | https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2022/04/22/Earth-Day-founded-1970/9611650577083/ | true | null |
Portugal identifies suspect in probe of missing British girl
LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Prosecutors in southern Portugal are formally accusing a suspect in the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, a British girl who disappeared nearly 15 years ago while on a family vacation in the southern European country.
A statement on Thursday by the Public Ministry district of Faro, the largest city in Portugal’s Algarve region, did not name the suspect but said they were acting on a request by German authorities and in coordination with English investigators.
In mid-2020, Germany’s police identified Christian Brueckner, a German citizen, as a suspect in the case.
McCann was 3 years old at the time of her disappearance from an apartment where her family was vacationing in the Algarve seaside town of Praia da Luz.
Brueckner, 45, is serving a sentence on drug offenses in a German prison and has a pending seven-year sentence for the 2005 rape of a 72-year-old American woman in Portugal. The rape also took place in Praia da Luz.
Brueckner has denied any involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.
Investigators in the nearby town of Portimao are leading the probe with the assistance of the Judiciary Police, the prosecutors’ statement said.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — President Joe Biden opened a two-day visit to the Pacific Northwest by focusing on improvements planned for the runway and roof of the airport where he landed Thursday, rather than any of the region’s traditional, natural attractions.
Portland International Airport lies on a tectonic plate fault line, but crews are working on a series of modernizations, including a new, earthquake-resistant runway capable of accommodating jets coming and going even after a major natural disaster. The design is modeled after the runway of the Sendai airport in Japan, which Biden said he’d visited and which survived the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in that country.
The trip is Biden’s first as president to this part of the country and comes as he has increased travel across the U.S. to tout the $1 trillion, bipartisan infrastructure package his administration backed and Congress approved last fall. Just since last week, Biden has been to Iowa, North Carolina and New Hampshire, and traveled to Seattle after the Oregon stop.
The president has been trying to promote the idea that he’s successfully advanced key policy goals — including providing badly needed funding for long-neglected public works projects around the country — despite Republicans in Congress opposing many of the White House’s priorities at every turn. The GOP counters that Biden has done little to tackle many of the nation’s most pressing issues, failing to control inflation that has climbed to its highest levels in more than 40 years or slow crime rates that are on the rise in some parts of the country.
“We’ve fallen behind. We haven’t invested in ourselves,” Biden said in a speech during which he noted that the public works package includes $25 billion to improve airports across America. “It bothers the heck out of me that there’s this belief that we can’t do big things anymore. We can.”
He added, “America invented modern aviation, but a lot of our airports are far behind our competitors.”
Portland’s airport is flanked by mountains and hills, yet, before his remarks, Biden was more attentive to the workers as they explained how the improvements would increase resiliency and energy efficiency. Officials are spending $2 billion on the airport revamp, including upgrades to the complex’s roof whose new sections will be primarily made of wood.
The roof is being disassembled into 20 sections and then pieced back together over the terminal, which Democratic Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley called “an incredible investment in mass timber.”
The White House says about 19.8 million passengers traveled through Portland’s airport in 2019, and says air cargo has increased more than 19% since 2019 as online commerce has grown amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Among those on-hand was Oregon Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio, who said, “I’ve been fighting my entire career for investments that will rebuild our nation’s crumbling infrastructure.” He said the U.S. continues to face systemic challenges, including “an economy that rewards wealth instead of work.”
Biden later headed to a Democratic Party fundraiser at Portland’s yacht club, where he took aim at the GOP and Florida Sen. Rick Scott’s proposals for tax increases on the middle class and a potential end to Social Security. The president noted that Florida Republicans also are fighting with the Walt Disney Co. over their “don’t say gay” lawfor schools and predicted that Democrats would add two seats to secure a 52-48 majority in the Senate.
“The far right’s taken over that party,” Biden said. “And it’s not even conservative in a traditional sense of conservatism. It’s mean. It’s ugly.” He attended another party fundraiser in Seattle Thursday night.
Historically, the party that controls the White House usually losses congressional seats in the next midterm races — and Republicans have suggested for monthsthat they will easily win control of the House and Senate in November. Scott, the head of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm, has proposed imposing income taxes on more than half of Americans who currently don’t pay any, and moving to phase out federal legislation after five years — which could presumably threaten Social Security.
Biden plans to mark Earth Day on Friday in Seattle by speaking about a need to bolster the nation’s resilience in the face of threats like wildfire, and a need to rapidly deploy clean energy, the White House said.
In an Earth Day statement, Biden called the infrastructure law “a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build on these actions and accelerate our nation’s ability to confront the environmental and climate challenges we face.”
“For the future of our planet, for our health, and for our children and grandchildren, we must act now,” it said.

Florida police department, has arrested a newly wedded bride and her caterer for allegedly mixing cannabis inside her wedding food.
The arrests came some two months after officials were called to the wedding to assist guests who said they felt as though they had been drugged.
Danya Svoboda and caterer Joycelyn Bryan face charges of tampering, negligence and delivery of marijuana.
Officials made the arrests after testing food and drinks from the party.
The wedding occurred on 19 February in the city of Longwood, in central Florida.
Responding deputies wrote in their incident report that several of the 50 guests present reported “feeling weird,” after eating meatballs, Caesar salad, tortellini, and “bread with an olive oil and herb dip”.
Guests were complaining of stomach pains and vomiting. Several were transported to hospital for treatment.
One guest told officers he “felt tingly, his heart started to race, and [he] was having crazy thoughts,” according to a police affidavit.
Another guest thought her son-in-law had died and that her family was keeping information from her. She was taken to hospital where she became “loud and unruly and had to be given something to calm down,” police say.
According to officials, Mrs Svoboda was asked by police at the scene whether she had allowed for drugs to be put into guests food, and denied it.
One guest, Miranda Cady, said she witnessed a member of the catering staff adding “a green substance” to a dish that would later contain olive oil. | https://zambianobserver.com/bride-arrested-for-adding-cannabis-to-wedding-food/ | 2022-04-22T11:42:20Z | https://zambianobserver.com/bride-arrested-for-adding-cannabis-to-wedding-food/ | false | 2 |

Perfect Time to Invest in Nepal
Business opportunity in Nepal has been underestimated for far too long. Entangled in political revolution for almost two decades, investment in Nepal was definitely a risky proposition. However, as political agenda has now rightly shifted towards economic growth, with a stable government in place, Nepal has become the perfect place to invest.
Achieving a GDP growth of 7.5% in 2017, the signs of a revitalized economy have already been felt. In recent years, there have been notable improvements from government in eliminating crippling power cuts and crafting investment friendly bills. The drastic increase in Foreign Direct Investment in Nepal is a clear sign that it is high time to capitalize in the economic boom that is here and now.
Hydropower, tourism and cement industries are thriving. The service sector and small to medium enterprises aren’t far behind to benefit from the rapid growth in business activity in the country which has been parallel to development in infrastructure. The entrepreneurial movement has taken pace and young entrepreneurs with big visions are emerging in Nepal whose contribution can be directly felt in every sector. With the very large potential and inexpensive labor, the return on investment in this unsaturated market would definitely be higher than investing in any saturated market.
WHY 2018?
Political Consensus
After two decades of political unrest, the Central Government formed with majority and committed to promote investment and economic activities
All political parties incorporating economic issues as major agenda
Stable province and energetic local government focused and dedicated to the improvement of livelihood of people.
Regional Presence
Nepal recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the framework agreement on China’s One Belt One Road Initiative (OBOR)
Government of Nepal Committed to improve connectivity with both neighboring countries through road and railway
Being a Member of South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) and the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectorial Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) Free Trade Agreement, it savors a duty and tax-free experience
Ease of Doing Business
Nepal was ranked third after Bhutan and India among South Asian countries in the ‘Ease of Doing Business Report 2017’ by the World Bank.
Nepal has recently revised its law and regulation to make it more investment friendly and is in continuous improvement process.
100% ownership to Foreign Investors is allowed in most sectors.
Investments as per Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (BIPPA) signed with Finland, India, Germany, Mauritius, Qatar, United Kingdom, and France Mean a more friendly investment opportunity.
Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement signed with Austria, China, India, Korea, Mauritius, Norway, Pakistan, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
Location and geographical convenience
Nepal is located between two of the world’s largest economies known for their highly accelerated economic growth: India and China
It has an access to the market of approximately 2.7 billion population.
Open border and a duty free trade with India and a duty free access to China for over 8000 products.
Capable Human Resources
Government initiation to improve technical skill and competence of work force required for rapid economic development
Out of 28 million population 61% are the working population.
Participation of women population is comparatively high among the South Asian countries.
The labor cost is low.
Where to Invest?
a. Hydroelectricity
Being the second richest country in hydroelectricity potential, Nepal has a huge future in this sector. Supported by its geographical inclination, Nepal has a large number of steep, eternal rivers; development of massive hydroelectricity projects is a possibility. Since Nepal is a developing nation with a crunch of funds, resources haven’t be used to their potential. Also, India, the southern neighbor will always have a demand for clean and cheap electricity due to which there is always a market for the hydropower projects in Nepal. With more than six thousand large and small perennial rivers flowing all over Nepal including three major rivers Koshi, Gandaki and Karnali, there is a huge business opportunity in hydropower in Nepal.
b. Transport
Nepal is a landlocked country with a topographical diversity making transport evidently difficult. Thus, the need of proper transportation facilities is acute. There is a need of different transports such as cable transport, railways, water transport etc. As a result of geographical diversity, there is a lack of roads all over the country, and even the roads in the urban areas are in bad condition and need expansion; therefore developing better roadways and investing in new road projects are a priority for the government making this a good venture to invest in. Availability of a huge mountain range benefits the cable transport projects. Also, Railways could have a huge potential of replacing other transport facilities in the southern plains. Existence of only one international airport is a major problem and therefore a major business opportunity. Transportation projects which have big budgets are the perfect sector to invest in Nepal.
c. Agriculture
Agriculture sector being the largest contributor in the GDP of the country is the factor that dominates the economy. Till the 1980s, most people were dependent on agriculture for earning a living, however lesser number of population is reliant on agriculture as their livelihood. Agriculture as business is still not seen as a profitable venture by a large segment of population.
Nepal is geographically and topographically fit for agriculture and with perfect climatic conditions. This is also a plus factor for growing and reaping rare medicinal herbs. New technologies contributing to agriculture is very rare, making the possibilities of introducing this is a huge investment opportunity in Nepal. Production of cash crops as a business idea could be a profitable business as commercial agricultural projects are still not big in Nepal.
d. Tourism
Bearing a diverse geographical condition, a very rich and divergent culture Nepal attracts a magnificent number of tourists making tourism a leading economy. Eight out of the ten world’s highest peaks and other various mountain ranges dwell in the country which shapes it as a hub for mountaineers, rock climbers, hikers and others who seek adventures. Nepal is the birthplace of Buddha and a home to a lot of Hindu and Buddhist shrines, attracting a huge mass of pilgrimages on a yearly basis. The temples and monuments dating back to history and having huge archeological importance, a lot of archeologist are also welcomed annually. The number of tourists entering Nepal is inclining at an exponential rate, with foreign tourists staying in the country for an average of 11.78 days. The unique flora and fauna is another reason for the possible growth of tourism. Every year a new attraction, new wilderness and new adventure unfolding in one of the remote areas of Nepal. The country has a whole lot of skilled porters and guides who could be hired in a very low wage. All these factors make tourism perhaps the best sector to invest in Nepal.
e. Infrastructure
Infrastructural development is one of the vital needs of Nepal. Due to the large earthquake in 2015, there were devastating losses in the major areas of Kathmandu valley and other areas, which called for a dire need of creation of earthquake proof infrastructures. Since the transportation facilities need a lot of improvement, this could be a sector to invest in as well. The Nepalese government has always been supportive of investors trying to work in the infrastructure sector.
f. Information Technology
IT field has dominated the world at this point and Nepal is no exception. Nepal has a mass of skilled IT graduates who could be hired in very cheap wages. As it is an upcoming interest in the Nepalese scenario, new talents and ideas could surely be explored. IT companies emerging as a new business venture; the competition is less if you decide to invest right now.
g. Mines and Minerals
Nepal lies in the central part of the Himalayan Belt, making it very rich in minerals. The Himalayan region consists of clusters of metallic and non-metallic minerals. Nepal is also known for exporting a range of beautiful decorative stones. Even with the presence of bulks of minerals scattered all around the Himalayan range, Nepal itself has not been able to extract these minerals. The existing mineral extraction businesses are less in number and are not very effective. Ample opportunities exist for the investors who could invest in cement factories, lime extraction, coal, magnetize, talc clay etc. So if anyone decides to invest in this sector, this could be a very profitable business endeavor in Nepal.
h. Health & Education
Health sector is in a very poor state in Nepal. It needs a lot of improvisation and improvement. Therefore, it would be very profitable for someone who is interested in investing in Nepal in this sector. Likewise the education sector is largely lagging. A lot of students go abroad each year for quality education. These should be good reasons to invest in Nepal.
I. Telecommunication
With the increment of population and growing business and technology, telecommunication is a pressing need. There are only a few telecommunication companies in Nepal, and therefore less competition. Geographical conditions being challenging in the country, even the existing networks have not reached the remote areas. This generates a massive opportunity for anyone wanting to conceive a profitable business in Nepal.
Nepal is moving towards a liberal foreign investment policy and is aiming to create an investment friendly environment to allure Foreign Investments in the nation. Foreign investment both as joint venture operations with Nepalese investors or as 100 percent foreign-owned enterprises are highly encouraged by the Nepalese government. With comparatively lower taxation and ease of doing business, Nepal is one of the ripest destinations to invest for both Nepalese and Foreign Investors.
Finance
Foreign Exchange at a Glance
The foreign exchange market is a platform where the currency of one country could be converted in to that of another country. The exchange rate determines the ratio at which one currency is converted into another currency.
The foreign exchange market is one of the most dynamic forces in international business and enables investors to undertake foreign investments worldwide. Without it, international trade and investment on the magnitude we experience today would not be possible.
Many international traders use the foreign exchange market to invest for short terms in money markets. Currency speculation is the short-term exchange of funds from one currency to another in anticipation of movements in exchange rates. The rate of return it earns on this investment depends not only on the specific country’s interest rate, but also the changes in the value of the concerned currencies in the intervening period.
Operating in the foreign exchange market is an ongoing challenge for the Entrepreneur and involves some risk. Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in exchange rates. Such fluctuations in the currency market can alter the Entrepreneur’s expected value of international transactions, simply because it can imply a change in the export opportunities available and also have an impact on imports. However, it is possible to eliminate some of the risks involved by using the foreign exchange market.
Spot Exchange Rates
The spot exchange rate is the same as the exchange rate for that particular day. Spot exchanges are updated on a daily basis and can be found on the internet or in the financial pages of newspapers. The dynamics between the demand and the supply of a specific currency compared to that of other currencies, determines the value of a currency.
Forward Exchange Rates
A forward exchange rate is a fixed rate for some time in the future, but traded upon in the present. For most of the prominent currencies, forward exchange rates are quoted for 30 days, 90 days and 180 into the future. To illustrate this explanation, the following example is used:
On the 26 June 2008, the 90 day forward exchange rate for converting Pounds into Indian Rupees (INR) is £1 = INR 110. The importer enters into a 90-day forward exchange contract with a foreign trader at this rate and is guaranteed to be unaffected should the Rupees/Pound exchange rate fluctuate.
Currency Swaps
A currency swap occurs when you buy and sell a certain amount of currency for two different value dates simultaneously. The most frequent kind of currency swap, is spot against forward. To illustrate this explanation, the following example is used:
On the 26 June 2008, the Spot exchange rate is £1 = INR 120 and the 90 day forward exchange rate is £1 = INR 110. The international entrepreneur sells £1 million to its bank in return for INR 120 million, and at the same time enters into a 90 forward exchange deal with its bank for converting INR120 million into pounds. This implies that the entrepreneur will receive £1.09 million (INR120 million/110 = £1.09 million).

Australian University Students Are in Need of Better Funding
It’s over 40 years since the Federal Whitlam Government made university education free. This was something many were pushing for at the time. My arguments for it included the point that without educated professional people this country could not function. As others also thought this way we considered that by lifting the burden of fees we should actually be paying people to undertake higher education.
Every department of government and business life requires people holding degrees and doctorates in fields relevant to their positions. The need to maintain a stream of graduates has to compete with sacrifices made on the part of students. They often surrender life-styles and other things to undertake courses.
Our hospitals need doctors, nurses and scientists. Our cities run with the help of educated graduates in law, economics, and a long list of other subjects. In a growing community that is expanding as rapidly as Australia there is no end to the number of graduates we require.
The next government that arrived a few months later quickly replaced university fees and since then they have been on the incline. The country is now in the situation of having to import qualified people from overseas to do the jobs for which Australians have been prevented from qualifying because of the cost.
The fees now are extremely high and going up by the year. Overall the cost of doing a medical degree may soon be up to $100,000. The books alone are often too expensive for students to own and they either borrow or hire them. Add to that the other equipment and costs and it is quite substantial.
While the government offers students loans it has now put a time limit on them that means the repayments may exceed one’s income when first starting out. The question is what do the politicians expect to happen. Most of the current ones got a free education or paid very little for it in the past but they are now making it not only impossible for many Australians but putting us behind the rest of the world in the education stakes.
The university students are protesting fiercely over the demonstrations that won’t stop until something better is produced. They require better financial aid and more government support for their sacrifice. The country will be better served if they get it.

Planning for Retirement: Security for the Future
Retirement planning pertains to allocating your finances and other assets for your retirement. Investing for retirement means that you want to be assured of your financial independence in the future. Planning for retirement requires that a person meet certain criteria such as readiness for retirement and early planning actions. An individual can make these assessments by deciding when to retire, specifically at what age, and the desired lifestyle upon retirement. Other things to take into consideration are the location and the amount of money needed before one can consider himself ready to retire.
One of the most common methods of planning for retirement is with the help of a financial adviser or financial planner. They help clients in creating and developing retirement plans and may be charged with a certain fee or on a case to case basis. For others who are uncertain about seeking professional assistance or help, they prefer to do the planning themselves. There are many retirement websites that have tools to help you plan your retirement accordingly. These web tools are referred to as online retirement calculators, decisions support systems, or mathematical models. Online retirement planning can help create your financial plans with the necessary data needed such as your income and your retirement date or year.
Knowing how to save for retirement is another crucial factor. This means setting aside a certain amount of money from your income to your future investment. Other factors to include are your plans of action, such as where you will be staying for your retirement. Some individuals prefer to move to a city or town which is different from where they are currently residing, where the cost of living is less expensive. To others, a change of environment is good. Planning your kind of lifestyle is also important. One should think of whether to travel more, or to engage in a small business.
There are many retirement investment strategies that can guide and help you in planning for retirement. One of the most important things to know is to start early in saving for your retirement. Starting to save as much as you can in the earliest time will prove to be rewarding in the future. Because your money has more time to grow, the amount of profit that you will accumulate will certainly be noticeable. Also, it is very crucial that you set your goals based on your needs, and not with what you just want.
Determining how you want to live in your retirement will help you calculate the costs and how much you need to save to meet those needs. This is where investing your money on a 401(k) plan is essential. With this, you will get tax deductions and your savings will surely grow. Most companies also contribute the same amount as your retirement benefits. If one is capable, it is always helpful to work part-time in your retirement. Not only does it keep you socially engaged, but it also reduces the amount of money you will withdraw annually from your retirement fund.

Dhoni turned back the clock on Thursday, striking an unbeaten 28 from 13 balls as Chennai Super Kings defeated Mumbai Indians by three wickets. CSK needed 17 runs in the last over. MS Dhoni smashed 6,4,2,4 in that final over and turned the match towards victory.
Wishes were pouring in for Dhoni from all over the world for his finishing style. Other than cricketers, politicians also reacted to MS Dhoni's game. Telangana IT Minister K.

Talking about the match, CSK's Mukesh Choudhary dismissed the openers for a duck in the opening over. Following this, MI battled hard, and with the aid of Tilak Varma's 51 off 43, managed to score 155. The quick cameo from Pretorius (22 off 14) was key in the end, and the classic finisher, Dhoni (28* off 13), completed the match with a boundary on the last ball.

Ghana beat Brazil to win FIFA U-17 World Cup
Ghana win 1995 U-17 World Cup without a defeat
Emmanuel Bentil joins Bayern Munich after successful World Cup in 1995
Former Ghana U-17 captain, Emmanuel Bentil, has revealed Black Starlet's squad of 1995 suffered consistent injuries after failing to show appreciation to the spiritualist who helped the team to win U-17 FIFA World Cup.
The former Bayern Munich youth player said a man led the team in the rituals in Accra before their triumph at the tournament hosted by Ecuador.
Bentil claims after the tournament the players failed to return their appreciation and therefore suffered similar injuries as a result.
"Most of us ended up with knee injuries,” he said as quoted by liquidsportsghana.com.
When asked whether the injuries might be due to wear and tear, Bentil said: “Not like the way it happened to the whole group."
The former Okwawu player recounted the exact ritual the team performed before the tournament.
“The whole team had to go there and pray. They will pray and call the saints and sometimes you can hear things, noise and something will come out from the sea... 'Like maame water' (mermaid)” he added.
Emmanuel Bentil scored the winning goal to aid Ghana in a 3-2 win over Brazil in the final.
Ghana won all six matches at the tournament scoring not less than 1 goal in five of the games apart from the 1-0 win over Japan in their group opener.
Members of the squad included: Richard Ackon, Charles Akwei, Raymond Fenny, Christian Saba, Baba Sule, Christian Gyan, Awudu Issaka, David Amoako, Emanuel Bentil, Abu Iddrisu, Joseph Ansah, Dini Kamara, Attakora Amaniampong, Patrick Allotey, Stephen Appiah, Bashiru Gambo, Kwaku Kyere, Michael Abu.
Among the aforementioned names, Appiah turned out to be a big name in Ghana football and Africa.
However, the former Juventus man had a stroke of bad luck with reoccurring knee injuries in his career.

Obama says disinformation erodes democracy
PALO ALTO, Calif. (CNN) - In a rare public appearance Thursday, former President Barack Obama said disinformation and conspiracy theories have led to the rise of strongmen like Vladimir Putin.
Obama warned that the foundation of democracy is at risk like never before.
“People like Putin, and Steve Bannon for that matter, understand it’s not necessary for people to believe this information in order to weaken democratic institutions. You just have to flood a country’s Public Square with enough raw sewage,” Obama said. “You just have to raise enough questions spread enough dirt. Plant enough conspiracy theorizing that citizens no longer know what to believe.”
Obama came to Stanford, the heart of Silicon Valley, Thursday with a warning about the threat that disinformation poses to American democracy – putting Putin and former Trump adviser Bannon in the same sentence and saying he underestimated in 2016 how powerful conspiracy theories had become.
“No one in my administration was surprised that Russia was attempting to meddle in our election,” he said. “What does still nag at me, though, was my failure to fully appreciate at the time just how susceptible we had become to lies and conspiracy theories.”
Those lies and conspiracy theories are still very much alive in the U.S.
“We just saw a sitting president deny the clear results of an election and help incite a violent insurrection at the nation’s Capitol,” Obama said. “Social media did not create racism or white supremacist groups. All these things existed long before the first tweet or Facebook Poke. Solving the disinformation problem won’t cure all that ails our democracies or tears at the fabric of our world. But it can help tamp down divisions and let us rebuild the trust and solidarity needed.”
Obama laid out how he believes social media algorithms designed to maximize engagement and keep people hooked are contributing to a crisis in democracy.
“Unfortunately, it turns out that inflammatory polarizing content attracts and engages. Other features of these platforms have compounded the problem, for example, the way content looks on your phone, as well as the veil of anonymity that platforms provide their users,” Obama said. “A lot of times can make it impossible to tell the difference between say a peer-reviewed article by Dr. Anthony Fauci and a miracle cure being pitched by a huckster. People are dying because of misinformation.”
Obama said it is time for social media companies to step up.
“Tech platforms need to accept that they play a unique role in how we as a people and people around the world are consuming information and that their decisions have an impact on every aspect of society. With that power comes accountability,” he said.
And the former president called for more transparency from these platforms, also speaking a little bit about how the U.S. government could possibly regulate big tech without going down the line of trying to censor speech in any way which, of course, would be against the First Amendment here in the United States.
Obama didn’t go into a lot of specifics about that very thorny issue of possible government regulation, but he is saying and he is trying to put all of this on the agenda, saying there needs to be a public debate about all of it, and it needs to happen urgently.

Olympian Laura Kenny says ‘part of me was torn away’ by miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy
OLYMPIC cyclist Laura Kenny has just revealed that she suffered a devastating miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy in the past five months, which left her "pushed to unbearable limits".
Laura Kenny, 29, has revealed that she has had both a miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy in past five months. The five-time Olympic cycling champion admitted that “scared doesn't even come close” to how she felt at the time, and disclosed that she even lost a fallopian tube.
The UK’s most successful female Olympic athlete told her Instagram followers that she became pregnant with fellow cyclist husband Jason Kenny after last summer's Tokyo Games.
However, she tragically miscarried nine weeks back in November.
The sports star was still feeling unwell after catching Covid in January, and was subsequently rushed into hospital where she had emergency surgery with an ectopic pregnancy.
"Scared doesn't even come close. I lost a fallopian tube that day," she said.
"I've always known I was tough, but sometimes life pushes you to an unbearable limit."

FORT WORTH, Texas, April 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AZZ Inc. (NYSE: AZZ), a global provider of metal coating solutions, welding solutions, specialty electrical equipment and highly engineered services today issued its audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Fiscal Year 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2022.
Fiscal Year 2022 Overview and Recent Highlights:
- Achieved 35th consecutive year of profitability
- Reported diluted earnings per share of $3.35 and reported net income of $84.0 million
- Full Year adjusted earnings per share of $3.34 and adjusted net income of $83.8 million
- Sales of $902.7 million, increased by 7.6% compared to prior year
- Sales of $519.0 million, up 13.4%
- Adjusted operating income of $127.3 million, up 19.3%
- Adjusted operating margin of 24.5%, versus 23.3%, or 120 bps improvement
- Sales of $383.7 million, up 0.7%
- Adjusted operating income of $33.7 million, up 115.1%
- Adjusted operating margin of 8.8% versus 4.1%, or 470 bps improvement
- Cash provided from operating activities of $86.0 million decreased 6.5% versus prior year
- Repurchased $30.8 million of common shares during the year
- Effective tax rate of 21.0%; 130 basis points improvement over the prior year
Tom Ferguson, President and Chief Executive Officer of AZZ, commented, "I am quite pleased with how well our leadership team and dedicated employees overcame supply chain disruptions and labor shortages to take care of their customers, improve our safety record and position AZZ for a strong fiscal year 2023. Fiscal year 2022 was a year of accomplishments for AZZ as we issued our first ESG Report, made significant progress towards becoming predominantly a metal coatings company, completed our 35th consecutive year of profitability, and continued returning capital to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Our Metal Coatings segment again delivered great operating results as they finished with a strong 4th quarter. For the full year they generated record sales of $519.0 million, and 24.5% operating margin, an improvement of 120 basis points over the prior year. The team expanded their spin plant capacity, improved safety, drove improved profitability in Surface Technologies and continued delivering unparalleled value to their customers. Metal Coatings is also positioning to remain the leader in galvanizing through ongoing technology investments in conjunction with Texas A&M University. Our Metal Coatings team continued to drive operational efficiencies utilizing our digital galvanizing system (DGS), while supporting a very active acquisition pipeline that resulted in the completion of two acquisitions (Steel Creek Galvanizing and DAAM Galvanizing) in the fourth quarter."
Mr. Ferguson continued, "Infrastructure Solutions also had a solid year in spite of experiencing greater disruption from supply chain and labor constraints, as well as international travel restrictions that impacted some Industrial Solutions Platform projects. While bookings activity was quite good, cycle times have extended as supply chain and labor constraints persisted throughout the year. The Electrical Platform's investment in new applications development resulted in a large battery energy storage system (BESS) project that positions them for a very strong FY2023. Based on the growth of renewable energy sources we believe this is the first of several significant BESS opportunities. We are optimistic for an improvement in the refining turnaround activity both domestically and internationally."
On March 7, 2022, the Company, and Sequa Corporation ("Sequa"), a portfolio company of global investment firm Carlyle, jointly announced an agreement whereby the Company will acquire Sequa's Precoat Metals business division ("Precoat Metals"). Precoat Metals is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri and is North America's largest independent provider of metal coil coating solutions. The transaction, which is subject to certain closing conditions, has cleared Hart-Scott Rodino and is expected to close in May, 2022.
Mr. Ferguson added, "Due to our recent announcement related to the acquisition of Precoat Metals, we will not issue fiscal year 2023 guidance at this time. However, based upon the evaluation of information currently available to management, excluding the impact of the pending Precoat acquisition, we anticipate Metal Coatings will exceed $150 million in sales and exceed 30% EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. We anticipate Infrastructure Solutions for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 will exceed their results in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. This reflects our best estimates given current market conditions, existing execution on our current backlog, and does not include the impact of acquisitions or divestitures, related expenditures, nor any federal regulatory changes that may emerge."
"As we enter fiscal 2023," concluded Mr. Ferguson, "our focus will be growing our Metal Coatings segment, completing the acquisition of Precoat Metals, and continuing to pursue strategic options for Infrastructure Solutions. AZZ has maintained excellent cash management processes and will use these to reduce our debt. We have access to the capital necessary to sustain our operations, provide opportunities for organic growth and allow AZZ to continue its dividend. I want to express my sincere gratitude to all our employees for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to welcoming Precoat to the AZZ family."
Sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $224.7 million, compared to $195.6 million for the prior year, an increase of 14.8%. Net income for the quarter was $21.6 million, or $0.87 per share on a diluted basis, up $5.5 million from the prior year, same quarter. Incoming orders for the three-month period increased to $311.6 million, as compared to $203.6 million for the same quarter last year. The book-to-sales ratio increased significantly to 1.39, compared to 1.04 in last year's comparable period. As anticipated, backlog at the end of the quarter was $304.5 million, an increase of 63.6% as compared to the same quarter in the prior year.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, Metal Coatings segment sales increased 20.9% to $128.3 million and operating income increased 18.3% to $31.4 million versus the comparable prior year quarter. Segment operating margin decreased to 24.5% of sales, or 60 basis points lower than the comparable prior year fourth quarter operating margin. The decline in operating margin was a result of higher labor and material costs, including zinc. During the latter part of the fourth quarter, AZZ successfully acquired and has begun integrating Steel Creek Galvanizing and DAAM Galvanizing in Canada into its network of hot-dip galvanizing facilities in North America.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, Infrastructure Solutions segment sales increased 7.7% to $96.4 million, as compared to $89.5 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Infrastructure Solutions' reported operating income of $9.7 million was 210.8% higher than the comparable prior year quarter. Operating margin increased to 10.1% compared to prior year quarter operating margin of 3.5%. On an adjusted basis, taking into consideration the treatment of assets previously held for sale, operating income of $7.9 million was 155.1% higher than the comparable prior quarter-to-date period. Adjusted operating margin, as percent of sales, was 8.2% compared to 3.5%, as adjusted, in the prior year.
The following chart provides an overview of operating income for both our Metal Coatings and Infrastructure Solutions segments, as adjusted for the impairment charges recorded during the quarter:

Those aged over 65 years and over and people over 12 with weaker immune systems will be able to receive a second Covid-19 booster vaccine from today.
According to the HSE, a second booster vaccine is now recommended for some people who are at higher risk from serious COVID-19 illness.
It also follows guidance from the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC).
The HSE says you can get your second booster 4 months (at least 120 days) after your first booster. You can check the date of your first booster on your digital COVID cert.
If you have had COVID-19 since your first booster, the HSE says you must wait at least 4 months after you tested positive or from when your symptoms started.
Appointments can be booked online to receive the booster at HSE vaccination centres. Participating GPs and Pharmacies will begin giving second boosters in the coming weeks.
Dr Colm Henry, HSE Chief Clinical Officer said: “We are now offering a second booster vaccine to those aged 65 years and over and those who are immunocompromised, and I am urging everyone in these groups to get this second booster dose.
“People being recommended this second booster are those most at risk of severe illness from COVID-19. It is important you get your second booster to help maintain your protection from becoming seriously ill or needing hospital treatment if you catch the virus," he said.

Christiano Ronaldo shares sweet family photo featuring new baby girl
Football legend Christiano Ronaldo has shared a heartfelt post talking about how “grateful” he is now that his partner Georgina and their newborn baby girl are home from the hospital.
Taking to social media on Monday evening, 37-year-old Ronaldo shared a heartbreaking statement, revealing that one of his twin babies, his son, had sadly passed away.

Laughing gas canisters have long been one of the more common examples of litter found across Surrey. But Spelthorne Borough Council, which covers areas including Staines, Ashford, Shepperton and Sunbury, has recently warned of some newer super-sized nitrous oxide or nos canisters that have been found littered in the borough, referring to ones found in the car park of Manor Park in Shepperton.
The council has explained that its Law Enforcement Team is concerned about the new trend of 615g Nitrous canisters that can have a significant effect on the user's health. This comes 11 months after Spelthorne Borough Council introduced a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) concerning the use of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS), formerly known as legal highs.
Nitrous oxide, or 'laughing gas', is a well-known example of an NPS. While these canisters have been an issue in Spelthorne over the last few years, it is far from exclusive to the area – in lockdown, one teenager collected over 800 from Banstead green spaces.

For a point of comparison, these canisters are almost as heavy as a standard NBA basketball, which weighs 624g. This makes it quite a challenge for litter pickers, who sometimes find many of these in one go, much heavier than standard gas canisters, which only weigh around 8g.
Cheryl Wright is a member of Spelthorne Litter Pickers, a litter collecting group that provided the council with the images. She said: "Generally, when the [PSPO] was introduced by Spelthorne Council, the number of nos canisters I personally found reduced. This seemed to be the case throughout the Borough.
"However, recently (perhaps in the last month or two) the number of canisters found seems to be picking up again. We are also finding an increase in the large 625g canisters – we started finding these larger canisters in bigger quantities about a year ago."
She said that it was easier to pick up one of these large canisters than 77 equivalent small canisters, but that they were incredibly heavy, especially if like some of Spelthorne Litter Pickers have done, you find 10 to 14 large canisters in one go. She also believed that a lot of the canisters were being found outside of town centres, where there was less likelihood of being caught on CCTV or police patrols.
She added: "I personally think that these large canisters should be marked with serial numbers linked to supplier/retailer. Then when found on a roadside, hopefully they could be traced back and the supplier prosecuted. If this happened then supplier may be more diligent as to who they sell to."
At the time the PSPO was introduced, Cllr Amar Brar, chair of the Neighbourhood Services Committee, said: "We have seen a considerable increase over the last two to three years in the use of nitrous oxide canisters. There are real concerns from residents about the risks of this drug and the gateway effect to other dangerous substances.
"This public space protection order will provide powers to the police and our Joint Enforcement Team to issue fixed penalty notices in the event of a breach. We know our residents have felt strongly about this issue and we thank them for their responses to our consultation."
Spelthorne Borough Council has recommended that anyone who sees any of the canisters or witnesses people using them should report it by email to lawenforcement@spelthorne.gov.uk.

Three in five of all Covid-19 patients in hospital trusts in England are being treated primarily for something else, new figures show.
Of the 13,645 patients reported as having the virus on April 19, 8,211 (60%) were not being treated principally for Covid.
This is the highest proportion since these figures were first published in June 2021, and is up from 26% at the start of December.
In London the figure is as high as 74% of patients while in eastern England it has reached 69%.
The Midlands is at 67%, but other regions are closer to 50%, including the North West (57%), North East and Yorkshire (53%) and the South East (also 53%).
South-west England has the lowest proportion, at 40%, according to NHS England figures.
All hospital patients who have tested positive for Covid-19 need to be treated separately from those who do not have the virus, regardless of whether they are in hospital primarily for Covid or not.
But the growing proportion of patients who are in hospital “with” Covid-19 rather than “for” Covid-19 shows how the current wave of the virus has not led to the same sort of pressure on critical care as in previous waves.
A total of 296 patients in all hospitals in England were in mechanical ventilation beds on April 19, compared with 773 at the start of December – and well below the 3,736 recorded at the peak of the second wave on January 24 2021.
Separate figures published by NHS England on Thursday show that average daily admissions to hospital of people testing positive for Covid-19 stood at 1,507 on April 19, down 21% week-on-week and the lowest number since March 14.
Admissions have fallen week-on-week in all regions.

Problems surrounding the Ola S1 Pro scooter seem to be never-ending, recently, an Ola electric scooter owner complained about an accident because of the issue with the regenerative braking of the scooter. The reported incident is of Guwahati, Assam, where a person was severely injured in an accident earlier this month.
After the incident was reported, the EV maker denied the claims of any such issue. In addition, the electric scooter manufacturer also shared the data publicly showing how the scooter was being driven at the time of the incident.

The complaint about the issue was made by a man named Balwant Singh via Twitter to allege Ola Electric of the faulty scooter. It is to be noted that the complainant is the father of the person injured in the accident.

Giving more details of the accident, complainant Balwant Singh claimed that the accident occurred when his son was trying to slow down the scooter at a road bump. However, instead of slowing down, the scooter accelerated on its own.
@bhash @OlaElectric I had purchased new Ola S1 Pro. On 26th March 2022 my son had an accident due to fault in regenerative breaking where on speed breaker instead of slowing, the scooter accelerated sending so much torque that he had an accident (1/n) pic.twitter.com/ghVXSwqJ3T
— BALWANT SINGH (@BALWANT1962) April 15, 2022
The complainant also urged Ola Electric to share the data of the scooter on the day of the accident. Meanwhile, he also claimed that one of the Ola executives was 'hesitant' to share the data.
In response to the whole incident, Ola Electric publicly issued the data of the electric scooter on the day of the incident, showing how the scooter was being driven. In a statement, Ola Electric said, "We did a thorough investigation of the accident, and the data clearly shows that the rider was overspending throughout the night and that he braked in a panic, thereby losing control of the vehicle. There is nothing wrong in the vehicle."
Along with the statement, The data chart shared by Ola Electric showed sudden bursts of speed around the time of the accident. The graph covers the speed data of the scooter from 30 minutes till the time of the accident. “Our data shows all three brakes being applied together - front brake, rear brake and regenerative brake (reverse throttle) likely due to an obstruction on the road. This brought the speed down from 80 kmph to 0 kmph in 3 seconds," said the statement from Ola Electric.
Denying the claims further, the EV maker said, "In the data, no sudden torque acceleration is observed after braking, contrary to the customer claims. The vehicle is detected by our sensors to have fallen on the right side."
Moreover, Ola Electric has taken a step forward to help the son of Balwant Singh, who has a fractured hand and multiple stitches. As per the reports, he has been transferred to Mumbai from Guwahati for further treatment.

Tata Group-owned Air India is likely to offer employee stock options (ESOPS) to its staff in an attempt to incentivise them and improve the overall performance by giving them a sense of ownership in the company.
The board will soon come up with a detailed ESOP policy that will state the number of shares and prices at which it will be offered to the employees, according to a report by the Business Standard.
“As part of the share purchase agreement, the Tata Group has agreed to give 3 per cent of Air India's equity shares to the permanent employees of the company. The board will soon pass a resolution to this effect. It will give employees a sense of ownership in the company, whereby the performance of the company will also impact their own compensation,” the publication quoted a source as saying.

The report further said that Air India will be the second company in the Tata Group to have such a policy, the first being Tata Motors. Besides the ESOP policy, the company will also introduce a key performance indicator for the employees, the report said.
The move is apparently directed towards retaining talent and improving the productivity of Air India, which has been a loss-making company for almost a decade. IndiGo and SpiceJet already have ESOP policies for its staff.

AlphaTauri are bringing their first major upgrade to their 2022 challenger, the AT-03, at the Imola GP this weekend.
According to technical director Jody Egginton, the team is expecting the new upgrades to deliver a “clear step forward” in terms of performance.
Speaking to the Motorsport Network, he said:
"It's the first sort of reasonably significant update of the year. The expectation is that we'll see a clear step forward in car performance from that, once we've got it working properly.”
"The main part of the update is the floor, and there'll be a front brake duct update as well. But the floor is the big area at the moment, there's a lot of performance in there. There's a lot of banana skins if you don't get it right as well.”
Getting the new upgrade to work as intended is a crucial step in the developmental process, according to Egginton. With the floors of the new generation of cars contributing to nearly 50 percent of the total downforce, any flaws could send them backward in terms of performance.
Unlike in previous seasons, teams have limited allowance for aerodynamic testing, meaning they have to ensure that each run in the wind tunnel doesn’t go to waste.
However, it also means there’s higher risk of new developments not working, as teams try to be as efficient as possible and only perform limited testing.
Explaining the tricky process, Egginton said:
"We're making sure that we've gone the right way. We've done a lot of subtle changes in these last events to try and put all that together, to give us a clearer view on which way we want to go with a major update for the floor."
AlphaTauri focussed on on-track learning before bringing prototyping upgrades
To reduce the risk of going in the wrong developmental direction, resulting in a loss of performance, AlphaTauri are reportedly following a similar strategy to that of Ferrari.
Rather than making rapid changes to the car based on aero modeling, AlphaTauri are intent on learning about the original spec to understand what parts need improving.
According to Egginton, this saves the team from facing “nasty surprises” when new upgrades are introduced. Speaking to the Motorsport Network, he said:
"All the work we've been doing in the background has been really focused on making sure we're clear which way we want to go, before we do a major update. There's been no surprises, but there's track specifics regarding how the floor behaves, which are different to how it would have been in the previous regulations.
"We've delayed a little bit the first update to race four, just to make sure we were doing the right things and we were comfortable we're going the right way. There's been an awful lot of learning over these last couple of months."
AlphaTauri have shown some promising pace so far this season but seem to be one of the worst affected by porpoising. They currently sit in P8 in the constructor’s championship but could bounce back in the second half of the season to threaten midfield regulars. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/f1/news-we-re-making-sure-gone-right-way-alphatauri-lots-expectations-first-significant-update-year | 2022-04-22T12:19:37Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/f1/news-we-re-making-sure-gone-right-way-alphatauri-lots-expectations-first-significant-update-year | false | 1 |
Samoa Joe on AEW and ROH Feuds: 'I Want to Beat Everybody Up, You Know?'
The Doctor Chris Mueller@@BR_DoctorFeatured ColumnistApril 22, 2022Samoa Joe on AEW and ROH Feuds: 'I Want to Beat Everybody Up, You Know?'
On April 1 at the Ring of Honor pay-per-view titled Supercard of Honor, Samoa Joe made a shocking appearance at the end of the night, returning to the promotion he helped legitimize for the first time in seven years.
The Samoan Submission Machine's arrival in ROH coincided with him signing a contract to work for All Elite Wrestling, opening up the possibility of appearing for both promotions once ROH is running full-time again.
All of this came just three months after Joe and WWE parted ways. We are only a few weeks into his AEW deal and the 43-year-old has already found himself wearing the Ring of Honor Television Championship.
We had a chance to speak with AEW's newest acquisition to talk about appearing at Supercard of Honor, facing Minoru Suzuki, working with AEW, other interests in and out of the ring, and much more.
Returning to ROH at Supercard of Honor
When the pandemic struck pro wrestling, ROH was hit just as hard as anybody, if not harder. In December 2021, the promotion announced it was going on hiatus and released everyone who was still under contract.
It was a tough blow for the fans, and it was even tougher on the talent. When Tony Khan announced he had purchased Ring of Honor, many became hopeful that the company would eventually resume operations.
While there is no timetable on when a weekly show may return, ROH did make a big splash with Supercard of Honor. Joe talked about being the big surprise at the end of the night and what it meant to return to his old stomping grounds.
"Obviously, it's always somewhat satisfying coming home and reentering a promotion that you were pretty largely responsible for kind of putting on the map," he said. "Having that ability to come back to ROH and give back to them, especially in this critical time, it's a rare opportunity that many people will never get to experience, so it's one I cherish."
Facing Minoru Suzuki
Joe has only been in AEW for a few weeks, but he has quickly put together a string of fun matches. His biggest showdown to date was against Japanese wrestling legend Minoru Suzuki for the ROH TV title.
"Obviously, Suzuki is a very accomplished and dangerous individual in his own right," he said. "When it comes to Minoru, he's exactly what I expected. Just a hard-nosed, no B.S., in your face, ready to rock and roll. submission fighter from Japan.
"He is as billed and it's always fun to get in there and knock around with guys who are made of granite. It's a different kind of feeling. A lot of people can't hang at that level, but Minoru makes it fun."
The match saw Joe win the ROH TV title for the first time, making him an official triple crown champion in ROH. The bout was noted by many for its brutality and huge number of strikes, but for a veteran such as Joe, it's just another day at the office.
"We're all good. Ready for 3,000 more [chops]," he said. "I mean, you know, you gotta understand I've been doing this a while. This tank has been taking shots for quite a while and the armor hasn't broken yet. That may be torture and hell for the normal human being. That's a day in the life of me. And that's not even hyperbole. Bring that all day long. I'm ready for the war."
The Strongest Strikers
One of the main things someone needs to be able to do in pro wrestling is know how to throw a good strike. Whether it's a punch, chop, kick, knee or elbow, you have to be able to make it look convincing.
Suzuki is known for his striking ability, but he is far from the first guy to leave Joe with welts on his chest.
"When you talk about guys who are just tremendously powerful and impact in what they do, [Kenta] Kobashi, obviously, is far up there," he said. "[Mitsuharu] Misawa. These are not surprising answers. [Shinya] Hashimoto is another big hitter.
"You talk about guys in the modern day now, Tommy End [Malakai Black]. He's got a pedigree. He knows what he's doing out there. There are just certain individuals out there who just are very precise and clean with what they do."
Did He Ever Want to Compete in MMA?
While pro wrestling is more of a form of entertainment, it shares a lot of DNA with the world of mixed martial arts. Many stars have crossed from one industry to the other, some with great success, notably Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey and Ken Shamrock.
For somebody with Joe's size, athleticism and grappling ability, MMA seems like a natural fit. But it was never a serious consideration for the ROH TV champion.
"The timing is interesting and obviously I've had a lot of friends who followed that path in life, and I've been very supportive of them through their journey and will continue to be," he said. "I got to kind of see what it was, but at the time when I was kind of in my infancy of what I wanna do in my career, MMA was an outlaw entity.
"Most of my friends who were professional fighters at the time were really feeling the crunch financially. I was broke. I didn't really have that ability to feel any more financial crunch.
"To be honest, I've grown up as an entertainer all my life. I was a member of my family's dance troupe. I've always been on stage and what brings me joy is being able to entertain people. The understanding of the mindset of pro wrestling was much more attractive and very much easier for me to get. So I think I just gravitated towards that."
Thoughts on AEW
Joe has worked for several different companies during his storied career. Not only has he had runs with ROH and WWE, but he also spent several years with TNA Impact and worked short stints in Mexico and Japan.
"Every time I step into a locker room, no matter what company it is in the world, I know three-quarters of the people in there already and worked with them or for them for several years," Joe said.
"It's funny for me, from WWE to ROH to TNA to wherever I go. Whenever I walk into a locker room, a lot of times it feels very much like home because there's still a lot of familiar faces that I'm seeing. And definitely in AEW from the production crew up through the boys in the back and the ladies, just a lot of familiar faces. So it feels like home."
The AEW locker room has a healthy mix of people from Joe's past and new names who have come up via the indie scene while he was with WWE. Some wrestlers put together lists of potential opponents, but Joe is not as discerning when it comes to who he fights.
"I want to beat everybody up, you know?" he said. "I want to be in the ring and I want to rough everybody up. There's no delineation between people. If you really want to step up to this blade and you get it on, you want to get out there and see what's what, you know, I'm in. So that's really how I feel about it. Whoever wants it, let's go."
How He Spends His Days off
Pro wrestling matches might not be very long by themselves, but the life of a full-time performer is not just a 40-hour working week. For many people like Joe, they end up having less time to themselves than the average person.
That is why having time off is so valuable. Whether it's spending time with loved ones or popping in a video game, The Samoan Submission Machine makes sure to value his time off.
"It really varies," Joe said. "And those [days off] are becoming fewer and far between. If I do have any free time off, it's usually spent around family and friends and just kind of maintaining those relationships.
"It's tough when you're gone a lot to just give time just to talk with those people you care about and those that are within your family circle. So, my free time is mostly focused on spending time in and around, or interacting with and being there for them at that time. I want to be around those people when I'm off. It's restorative to both of us."
When he was with WWE, Joe made several appearances on Xavier Woods' UpUpDownDown YouTube channel. While he has not yet become a big Twitch star, he still likes to pick up a controller from time to time.
"Video games are of tremendous interest to me," he said. "I play a bit on the road a little bit at home. That's another thing my son has started to enjoy, playing a game here and there. So, I'll get on with him and mess around. I'm sure I will pop up in the gaming space.
"I guest-hosted a little bit for Kinda Funny a few times and have done a few spots here and there for different friends who run media companies within the video game space. It will definitely be something we'll see in the future, whether it's on Adam Cole's [Twitch] or not. We'll see. There are things in the works."
Goals
When a young athlete first decides to become a pro wrestler, they tend to have a list of goals in mind. Some want to win a world title, while others might just want to work with a specific person.
For somebody who has been around as long as Samoa Joe, the concept of goals becomes much different.
"I think my goals are tough to state in terms like, 'Oh, I wanna win this championship. I want to do this. I wanna do that,'" he said. "My goals are more kind of pushing the genre, giving a different type of feel to what's being presented in the ring.
"My goals are kind of experimental too, and that may not catch fire. Maybe they will not be good. Maybe they will be good, but that's really where my goals lie now. I want to test some theories that I've kind of held in my head for a long time and see if they do work. And if they do well, hey, we'll all be on to something great and awesome in the industry."
Would He Ever Consider Doing Commentary Again?
While just about everyone prefers seeing Joe in the ring chopping people down to size, he also received a lot of praise during his stint as a commentator in WWE.
He is currently focused on his in-ring career, but he hasn't ruled out putting the headset back on.
"Obviously the allure is there and it's a very, very interesting job," Joe said. "It's one that is very underappreciated and probably people don't realize how difficult it can be.
"I gained a whole new respect for the play-by-play guys I had a chance to work with in my time behind the desk and the massive amount of responsibility they have to juggle in the live environment. So, it's something I would consider, but it's just a consideration at this point."
Movie Review
We always end our AEW interviews with a movie review to give the wrestlers a chance to talk about something other than work. Joe hasn't seen many recent films, so he chose to go into the vault for a comedy from 2006.
"I haven't watched too much current cinema," he said. "I do recommend everybody go see The Foot Fist Way, though. I think it's a great, great movie. I think it was Danny McBride's first kind of foray on his own.

Chinese officials slam YouTube for removing account of Hong Kong’s expected next leader
By Michelle Toh, Wayne Chang and Lizzy Yee, CNN Business
Chinese officials have slammed YouTube for taking down the account of a politician expected to become the next leader of Hong Kong, accusing the video sharing company of interfering in the country’s internal affairs.
YouTube said it had suspended the official campaign channel of John Lee, the sole candidate to become Hong Kong’s next chief executive, on Wednesday. Google, which owns the platform, has said that it is simply complying with US sanctions.
A Google spokesperson told CNN Wednesday that it had “terminated the Johnlee2022 YouTube channel” after reviewing US laws and YouTube’s terms of service. It did not elaborate.
China’s Foreign Ministry on Thursday accused “certain US companies” of being “political tools” for the US government, claiming that the United States had “malicious” intentions to “disrupt” Hong Kong’s election.
“No ploys of pressure or sabotage can affect the smooth chief executive election or hold back the overwhelming trend of a turnaround from chaos to stability in Hong Kong,” Wang Wenbin, a ministry spokesperson, told reporters when asked about the subject at a press briefing.
In a statement Thursday night, a Hong Kong government spokesman also said that he had expressed “strong opposition” to a US “social media company” over the removal of Lee’s campaign channel.
The government “and all sectors of society strongly opposed and expressed extreme outrage at any form of interference in the internal affairs of Hong Kong by foreign forces,” which include matters related to the city’s election of its next top leader, the spokesperson added.
Google declined to comment Friday on Chinese official objections.
In 2020, the US Treasury Department slapped sanctions on nearly a dozen Hong Kong and mainland Chinese officials — including Lee — for their involvement in the introduction of a new national security law on the city.
The legislation — which was hugely controversial — bans any activity Beijing deems to constitute secession, subversion, terrorism, and collusion with foreign forces, and allows Chinese state security to operate in the territory.
Lee, a former policeman who worked his way up to become the city’s security chief and subsequently its chief secretary, the second highest political post, addressed YouTube’s restriction against him on Wednesday.
“I am disappointed at not being able to use the platform, but this won’t affect my campaign and my outreach efforts,” he told reporters.
Lee also scoffed at the sanctions, calling them “unreasonable” and “acts of bullying.”
Asked whether he would penalize companies that comply with US sanctions, such as Google, if he becomes chief executive, Lee said he will “act in accordance with the law of Hong Kong.”
Restrictions on Facebook
YouTube’s move has raised questions about whether the politician will be cut off from other Western social networks, too.
On Wednesday, Meta addressed the issue, saying that Lee could remain on its platforms, Facebook and Instagram, but wouldn’t be allowed to use their advertising tools.
Lee “can maintain a demonetized presence on Facebook and Instagram, and we have taken steps to prevent the use of payments services,” the social media giant said in a statement, adding that “as a US company, we operate under the constraints of US laws, which vary by circumstance.”
“If we identify accounts maintained by or on behalf of people on the US Government’s list of Specially Designated Nationals, we have a legal obligation to take certain action,” it said, referring to a list of individuals sanctioned by Washington.
Hong Kong’s government spokesman said Thursday that “the so-called ‘sanctions’ imposed by the US are blatant interference in the internal affairs of the People’s Republic of China.”
He added that the government was opposed to any action that could undermine “the freedoms of speech and of the information dissemination, as well as the fairness and impartiality of the internet.”
Lee is poised to be selected as Hong Kong’s next leader by a largely pro-Beijing committee of lawmakers and industry representatives on May 8.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shopping for Passover on a recent day at a kosher supermarket in the Hasidic Jewish section of Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood, Moshe Werzberger worried about how inflation is driving up prices during one of the most important holidays for Jews.
“It affects us very much,” said the 23-year-old, who recently canceled plans to vacation in Florida with his wife and 2-year-old son because of skyrocketing prices. Inflation has become a main topic of debate for worshippers at his synagogue and also in his extended family as they share the celebratory Passover meals, Seders.
“It just keeps on going up and up …” he said as announcements rang out in Yiddish on the store’s intercom. “And at some point it’s going to have to stop, or no one is going to be able to afford to go shopping.”
As households feel the squeeze of surging consumer prices, some U.S. Jewish families observing Passover have struggled to pay for eggs, gefilte fish and the unleavened bread known as matzo, which represents their ancestors’ exodus from slavery in Egypt.
The need is so great that the Met Council, which runs the country’s largest kosher food pantry, expects to supply a record of nearly 3 million pounds of food in Passover packages and $500,000 in emergency food cards among the Jewish community in greater New York City and New Jersey.
“We’ve been doing charitable work for 50 years, and we’ve never seen anything like this,” said David Greenfield, the council’s executive director. He added that there’s “no question” that hundreds of thousands of families are eating less meat during Passover, which this year falls from April 15 to 23.
Grocery prices rose 10%in March on a year-on-year basis — the most in 41 years — driven by higher prices for poultry, fish, eggs, beef and other meats.
The reasons for the surge vary: supply chain snags, unfavorable weather and rising energy prices. The latter, driven by Russia’s war against Ukraine, pushed wholesale prices up a record 11.2% last month from a year earlier. Transportation problems are weighing on food imports, particularly seeds and other items that produce oils.
The only thing likely to put a dent in inflationary pressures is the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, said Laura Veldkamp, a professor of finance and economics at Columbia University. But families suffering sticker shock from shopping for Seders can’t expect a respite anytime soon.
“Last year there were a number of government subsidies and programs that people were able to tap into,” said Yitzy Weinberg, executive director of Flatbush Community Fund, a Brooklyn-based charity. “But this year the COVID subsidies are over, and between that and inflation, it was a double whammy that hit working families when they needed it the most.”
Weinberg’s organization has distributed food, grocery cards and checks to more than 1,100 families this Passover, up from 850 last year.
Diana Kogan, director of Caring for Jews in Need, an initiative of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, said inflation and shortages have been “a huge issue” for Jewish groups in Southern California that provide holiday food packages to vulnerable communities including older adults, Holocaust survivors and people without housing.
“Kosher meat, kosher chicken in particular, has been an issue,” she said. “Chicken used to be $1.89 per pound. But this year it’s over $3 a pound. We’ve also seen a 20% to 30% increase in kosher food prices.”
Kogan said groups such as Jewish Family Service of LA and Tomchei LA have been stockpiling food since before Passover, buying items when they are on sale. But that has created a need for storage space, freezers and generators.
Meanwhile some organizations that hand out both food packets and gift cards during Passover are finding that people often prefer to get the packets.
“That’s because the prices of items are so high,” Kogan said. “The gift cards don’t go too far.”
Kosher products tend to be slightly more expensive. But Passover products are even costlier, according to the Met Council’s Greenfield, because there needs to be an extra certification that there’s no there’s no leavening or bread involved.
“Passover is the most expensive time of the year for someone who keeps kosher,” he said.
Back at the supermarket in Brooklyn, Eliot Spitzer, perused the vegetable aisle with two of his seven children, 9-year-old Faigy and 11-year-old Abba. His family hosted a Seder for 14 people at their home, and he said high prices have made things tough for everyone this Passover.
“It’s definitely harder,” Spitzer said. “We (Hasidic Jews) have bigger families — average seven, eight, nine kids per family — and it’s not easy.”

Brazil's Guedes says Europe more interested in advancing talks on EU-Mercosur deal- media
April 22 (Reuters) - Brazil's Economy Minister Paulo Guedes said European representatives showed increased interest in advancing talks to close a trade deal between Mercosur and the European Union, according to local newspaper Folha de S. Paulo.
The newspaper said that Guedes spoke in a press conference on Thursday in Washington DC and said "countries are understanding that Brazil is a key player in the world's food and energy security," adding the minister now saw less resistance from countries such as France and Belgium to reach a partnership with Brazil.
Disruptions caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine has led more countries to look to Brazil as an option to supply food and fuel, said Guedes. Brazil is a major commodity and fuel exporter.
A trade pact was struck in 2019 with the Mercosur bloc of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay after two decades of talks promised to be the EU's largest deal, with the removal of 4 billion euros ($4.33 billion) of import tariffs on its products, has yet to be signed. Some European countries have questioned the agreement alleging poor environmental governance by the Jair Bolsonaro administration.

It’s not too often that you would see a team pose for a full group photo after winning a regular-season game.
And when you consider the Ottawa Senators’ placement in the overall standings, it would seem like there would be very few circumstances that would warrant a team picture at this juncture.
But after they knocked off the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 in a shootout on Tuesday evening, the Senators wanted to take a moment to commemorate the 1,000th regular-season victory in franchise history.
The group that earned us our 1,000th regular season victory 🤩#GoSensGo pic.twitter.com/0oqT4F88op
— Ottawa Senators (@Senators) April 20, 2022
It’s taken the Senators a little longer to reach this plateau, but it’s somewhat understandable when you consider the bumpy start for the franchise, some shortened or cancelled seasons and a current rebuild that has slowed down the winning.
Despite all of these hiccups, the Senators can still boast a .504 all-time points percentage, which is a testament to their consistency for an extended period of time. And when you reach the 1,000-win plateau, it’s a perfect opportunity to reflect on some of the best moments in franchise history.
So in this column, we’re going to try and count down the 10 most memorable and significant regular-season wins in franchise history.
It’s important to note we’re only looking at regular-season wins for this exercise.
So that Jean-Gabriel Pageau hat trick and brawl against the Canadiens doesn’t count because it happened in the playoffs. Ditto for the Daniel Alfredsson goal against Buffalo to vault the Senators into the Stanley Cup Final.
And these have to be games the Senators won, so you can cross out Wayne Gretzky’s last game in Canada because that game ended in a 2-2 tie. Those memorable brawls against Buffalo and Philadelphia don’t meet the criteria either, because Ottawa lost those games.
With all of that in consideration, let’s dive in and see if we can agree on these being the 10 most memorable regular-season wins in Senators franchise history. (In addition to watching the videos below, click on the date of the game in the headline for a complete box score).
10. November 2, 2005: 10-4 win at Buffalo
Why this game makes the list: The Senators created an offensive explosion that has not been duplicated in the 16-plus years since this happened.
Martin Havlat and Alfredsson each scored four goals in this game for Ottawa. How rare was this accomplishment? There are only three other instances where teammates each scored four goals in the same game.
- November 2, 2005: Martin Havlat & Daniel Alfredsson, Ottawa
- October 8, 2000: Randy McKay & John Madden, New Jersey
- January 14, 1922: Odie Cleghorn & Sprague Cleghorn, Montreal
- March 3, 1920: Harry Cameron & Newsy Lalonde, Montreal
On top of that, Dany Heatley scored Ottawa’s other two goals. Having three players combine for 10 or more goals in an NHL game is equally rare. And prior to the Senators pulling it off against Buffalo, it hadn’t been done since November 19, 1983. On that night, Oilers players Jari Kurri (five goals), Wayne Gretzky (three) and Willy Lindstrom (three) combined for 11 goals for Edmonton.
It’s very likely we’ll never see these things accomplished again — teammates with matching four-goal games or a trio of teammates combining for 10 goals.
What you probably don’t remember: This was actually Havlat’s first game back after serving a five-game suspension for kicking Hal Gill during an October 15 game against Boston. Havlat didn’t experience any rust, scoring four times in the first two periods of this game — including a goal in his first shift of the game. Strangely, while Havlat had a strong start, Alfredsson didn’t start scoring until the very end of the game. His first goal came at the 18:32 mark of the second period and then he followed that up with a third-period hat trick.
9. April 10, 1993: 5-3 win at New York Islanders
Why this game makes the list: The Senators entered this game on Long Island having gone 0-38-0 in their first 38 road games of the season. Not even a single tie. Thirty-eight consecutive losses on the road.
Entering this contest, the Senators had been outscored 213-90 on the road. They were routinely blown out on the road, with only a handful of contests decided by fewer than two goals. In one such instance — just two weeks prior to this win over the Islanders — the Senators held a late 3-2 lead over the Montreal Canadiens at The Forum on March 27. But Vincent Damphousse tied the game with only 1:19 remaining in regulation time before Oleg Petrov scored the overtime winner.
It looked like the Senators might run the table on road losses until this night on Long Island. But a hat trick from Laurie Boschman sealed this victory for the Senators; he scored the winning goal with only 56 seconds remaining in the third period. (He would add an empty-netter to seal the win as time expired.) Thanks to this unlikely victory, the Senators would finish the season with a 1-40-0 record in 41 road games.
What you probably don’t remember: This win was largely due to the stellar play of Peter Sidorkiewicz in Ottawa’s net. The Senators were outshot by a whopping 45-18 margin on this night, but Sidorkiewicz made 42 saves to steal Ottawa’s only road win of the season.
8. February 15, 2021: 6-5 OT win at Toronto
Why this game makes the list: This is arguably the most memorable game of the D.J. Smith era in Ottawa — at least in terms of a team effort. The Senators were trailing 5-1 late in the second period and appeared destined for another lopsided loss. But after a short-handed Nick Paul breathed new life into the club heading into the second intermission, the Senators rallied for three goals in the third period to tie the contest. And to get the ball rolling, Artem Zub showed off his offensive flair by scoring his first career goal.
And then, it was Evgenii Dadonov’s turn to shine, as the Senators forward had his finest moment in an Ottawa jersey. Dadonov scored the tying goal with two minutes left in regulation time, batting a puck out of mid-air to beat Leafs netminder Frederik Andersen.
In overtime, Dadonov played a full 200-foot game to secure the win for Ottawa. First, he blocked Morgan Rielly’s shot that was destined to find the back of Ottawa’s net as Marcus Hogberg was sprawled out of the crease. Then seconds later, Dadonov took the puck up ice and scored a breakaway goal to seal the dramatic win for Ottawa.
What you probably don’t remember: This game was actually the start of a three-game series between Ottawa and Toronto at Scotiabank Arena. The Maple Leafs won the next two games by a combined score of 9-4. But yeah, there’s a good reason why you probably don’t remember that.
7. October 5, 2005: 3-2 shootout win at Toronto
Why this game makes the list: This was the first shootout in NHL history, as the Leafs and Senators met on opening night in 2005 to launch a new era of the league.
The Senators used three shooters on this night: Alfredsson, Havlat and Heatley. Alfredsson and Heatley scored for Ottawa, while Dominik Hasek turned aside both attempts he faced from the Maple Leafs.
In this shootout, Toronto countered with Jason Allison and Eric Lindros. And if you recall, a lot of fans mocked Allison’s attempt in the shootout, claiming he was going at a super-slow speed. But if you watch the entire shootout session here, you’ll notice Allison’s shootout attempt doesn’t appear to be that slow — at least judging with the benefit of hindsight.
What you probably don’t remember: First of all, when you watch that highlight above, it’s easy to forget they used to run the Zamboni to resurface the middle of the ice before shootout attempts. In particular, watch the Allison and Heatley chances and you’ll see how smooth the ice looks down the middle in comparison to the sides.
Also, fans might forget the Leafs were on the verge of winning this game in regulation. Lindros scored to give the Leafs a 2-1 lead with only 1:31 left in regulation time. But Alfredsson responded with the tying goal just 29 seconds later, with assists from his two new linemates — Heatley and Jason Spezza.
And another forgotten fact? Pierre McGuire was doing colour for this game.
6. October 30, 2016: 2-0 win at Edmonton
Why this game makes the list: This was an emotional night in Edmonton, as Craig Anderson played his first game since publicly revealing that his wife Nicholle was undergoing cancer treatment. Anderson stopped all 37 shots he faced, putting together one of the most resilient and heartwarming shutouts in league history.
Chris Cuthbert and Ray Ferraro capture the moment perfectly in this video below, while Oilers netminder Cam Talbot recognizes the uniqueness of the situation and comes out to his bench to cheer on Anderson as the game’s first star.
What you probably don’t remember: This was actually a remarkable week of goaltending for Anderson. Prior to this start against Edmonton, he posted a shutout in a 3-0 victory in Vancouver. Then he followed up that performance in Edmonton by stopping 32 of 33 shots in a 2-1 win against Carolina. During that emotional week, Anderson stopped 90 of the 91 shots he faced in stringing together three consecutive victories.
5. February 27, 2020: 5-2 win vs Vancouver
Why this game makes the list: In many ways, this game is interchangeable with the one listed above. On this night, Bobby Ryan returned to play his first game in front of the home crowd at Canadian Tire Centre since taking a leave of absence to deal with his alcohol dependency.
Ryan responded by scoring his fifth career NHL hat trick — and first in 1,886 days — with a remarkable performance given the backdrop and circumstances.
Afterward, Ryan gave one of the most poignant and powerful postgame interviews with Brent Wallace as part of the TSN broadcast.
What you probably don’t remember: Ryan would only play two more home games at Canadian Tire Centre after this memorable performance. Shortly after, the NHL season was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And in the following offseason, the Senators bought out the remaining two years of Ryan’s contract.
4. April 13, 1996: 5-2 win at New Jersey
Why this game makes the list: You can probably make an argument this victory was important in setting the tone for the following season for the Senators. In this regular-season finale at New Jersey, the Senators had a chance to eliminate the defending Stanley Cup champions.
And with a twist of irony, it was a former member of the Devils — Tom Chorske — who played the role of hero for Ottawa. Chorske scored a pair of goals as Ottawa scored four unanswered to erase a 2-1 deficit and ruin New Jersey’s playoff chances.
What you probably don’t remember: Even if New Jersey had won that game against Ottawa, they didn’t control their own playoff fate. That would have simply put them into a tie with Tampa Bay for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, but the Lightning still had one game left to play the next day. Ottawa’s victory officially eliminated the Devils from the playoffs, but they still would have needed some help to get in if they managed to beat Ottawa that day.
3. April 7, 2015: 4-3 OT win vs Pittsburgh
Why this game makes the list: There are so many games we could have chosen from the Hamburger run, but this one is probably the most memorable for most Ottawa fans. In their home finale, the Senators had to post a win against Pittsburgh — or else they would be eliminated from playoff contention.
The Penguins jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead, which was started by a Sidney Crosby goal just 10 seconds into the contest. But Ottawa clawed their way back, with a show of resilience that was consistent throughout this entire run.
And then in overtime, Mark Stone buried the winner to keep Ottawa’s chances alive.
What you probably don’t remember: While Stone is remembered for his heroics in this game, a lot of fans tend to forget Mike Hoffman also played the role of hero to send this game to overtime. With the Senators’ net empty and Ottawa trailing by a goal with under two minutes left in regulation, Hoffman unleashed a wicked wrist shot that somehow eluded Marc-Andre Fleury to tie the game.
2. October 8, 1992: 5-3 win vs Montreal
Why this game makes the list: There are some people who will argue this game should be in the top position. After all, to return to the NHL after an almost six-decade absence with a huge win on home ice remains one of the most amazing accomplishments in franchise history.
And just watching some of the pregame ceremony is reason enough to think this might warrant the top spot. The pageantry around this is peak 1990s, with cheesy music and performers. (For anybody who thought the “Gladiator” was the worst pregame performer in franchise history, I implore you to watch this video below.)
The Senators actually never trailed in this hockey game, as Neil Brady scored the first goal in franchise history on a five-on-three power play in the opening minute of the second period. (Some Ottawa fans would swear this was the last five-on-three goal scored by anybody in a Sens jersey.)
What you probably don’t remember: The Senators lost their next game 9-2 against Quebec and would go on a 21-game winless streak after this historic win against Montreal. As the club plummeted in the standings, veteran Doug Smail spoke up and delivered a memorable message to his teammates in the locker room. “You know guys, we’re not that bad of a hockey team. We just play in a really good league.”
1. April 12, 1997 1-0 win vs Buffalo
Why this game makes the list: The only game that could top the victory over Montreal was this win over Buffalo in the regular-season finale of the 1996-97 season.
The Senators posted a huge win the night before, with Wade Redden scoring a late game-winning goal to post an improbable win over the powerhouse Red Wings. That set the stage for the showdown with the Sabres, where an Ottawa victory would propel them to a playoff spot for the first time in modern franchise history.
And with under five minutes left in regulation time, Steve Duchesne scored the lone goal of the contest to give Ottawa a 1-0 lead. The radio call from Dave Schreiber — captured in this video below — remains one of the most iconic calls in franchise history.
What you probably don’t remember: The Senators were embroiled in a heated playoff race with Montreal, Washington and Hartford down the stretch. In the end, those four teams were separated by only two points — with the Senators and Canadiens advancing to the playoffs. This victory over Buffalo secured Ottawa’s playoff spot, but on the same night, the Canadiens finished in a 3-3 tie with Philadelphia. By virtue of that outcome, the Senators technically finished ahead of Montreal and in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings. And as a result, Ottawa’s first-round matchup was against Buffalo, which produced a memorable seven-game series that ultimately went in Buffalo’s favour thanks to a Derek Plante overtime goal in Game 7.

There have now been quite quite enough “Iron Ladies Who Made History That Is Just as Riveting and Amazing!” movies to write my life (c)eos out: Hunt the witch hats (see Meryl Streept-Wind Chime Wannabe: An Even Darkerg Movie), make their man a manlier version of her own version but leave with them anyway because they get stuck inside (Grace Sponagle – Busts Warning lights are flashing for the U.S. economy.
A growing number of forecasters now believe a recession is on the horizon as the Federal Reserve gears up to raise interest rates sharply to combat the highest inflation in more than 40 years.
It's an unusual outlook at a time when the economy is strong by many measures. Employers have added nearly 6.5 million jobs in the last 12 months and unemployment has fallen to just 3.6%.
But it's that strong economy and, particularly, the sizzling labor market as employers try to hire more workers to meet surging consumer demand that has economists concerned.
As employers scramble to find scarce workers, they're bidding up wages, and that's helping to push inflation even further above the Fed's target of 2%.
As a result, economist Matthew Luzzetti believes the Federal Reserve will have no choice but to crack down hard, with significantly higher interest rates.
Luzzetti predicts that those aggressive rate hikes will push the economy into a mild recession by late next year.
"It's probably surprising to be talking about recessions at this point, given the momentum that we've seen, particularly in the labor market," says Luzzetti, chief U.S. economist for Deutsche Bank.
"The ultimate conclusion is that we are having very strong growth, but it is inflationary growth," he adds.
Other forecasters are also getting nervous. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal put the odds of recession in the next 12 months at 28%, up from 13% a year ago.
Inflation seems to be everywhere
For much of past year, the Fed thought inflation was primarily the result of supply chain snarls that would work themselves out once the pandemic eased.
Instead, price hikes have accelerated. Consumer prices in March were up 8.5% from a year ago according to data out on Tuesday — the sharpest increase since December 1981.
Relief on the supply side is taking longer than many analysts expected, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine has only added to disruption, jeopardizing exports of both food and energy.
"We continue to push out our expectations of when these supply chain issues will be resolved," Luzzetti says. "And that is one area where the recent invasion of Ukraine has exacerbated and elongated those price pressures and the supply chain issues that we are to face."
Tuesday's inflation report did show some relief from pandemic backlogs. The price of used cars — which soared last year when a shortage of semiconductors hampered new car production — fell 3.8% in March.
But prices for many other items continued to climb, thanks to consumers' insatiable demand for goods and services.
If inflation remains elevated, workers may demand even higher wages — a recipe for the kind of wage-price spiral that contributed to runaway inflation in the 1970s.
The Fed's tricky balance
Last month, the Fed began raising interest rates in an effort to tamp down consumer demand and bring prices under control. Ideally, the central bank would cool off inflation without sending a chill through the whole economy.
The monetary thermostat is not very precise, however. Some forecasters worry that the Fed's chance of getting it just right are not good.
"It could happen," says former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. "But I don't think it's terribly likely."
Summers has been arguing for more than a year that both Congress and the Fed were pumping too much money into the economy, with big COVID-19 relief payments and rock-bottom interest rates.
Summers argues that it would have been better to turn the taps off sooner. Mopping up now from the resulting high inflation is likely to be painful.
"Now the bathtub is overflowing," Summers says. "And it's much easier to stop a bathtub from overflowing than it is to get the water back."
Why the Fed wants a so-called 'soft landing'
Not all forecasters share that gloomy outlook. In the Wall Street Journal's survey, 63% of economists said they thought the Fed could engineer a "soft landing," bringing inflation under control without triggering a recession.
Brian Deese, the director of President Biden's National Economic Council, acknowledges the economic challenge that high inflation poses but argues that the strong job market and extra money in consumers' bank accounts should help.
"The United States is better positioned than any county in the world to navigate through this very difficult period of time," Deese said last week, at a forum sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor.
Summers says he understands why both the White House and the Fed were eager to let the economy run hot and boost workers' wages.
"Increases in demand can be profoundly good for workers," he says. "But if they're unsustainable and they necessitate subsequent recessions, then they ultimately boomerang."
Summers, a Democrat who served in the Clinton and Obama administrations, also has a warning for the Biden administration and congressional Democrats.
Voters' frustration with high inflation helped to fuel Republican victories in the past, he says, such as Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.
The U.S. will now get a chance to see whether that history repeats in midterm elections later this year.

- Profitability declined due to significant operating margin headwind from higher costs related mainly to raw materials but also related to supply chain disruptions, LVP volatility and high level of premium freight, all of which have been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine and lock downs in China. Operating margin declined by 4.2pp and adjusted operating margin* declined by 7.4pp. Return on capital employed declined to 14.6% and adjusted return on capital employed* to 7.4%.
- Strong balance sheet and leverage ratio* within target range. Operating cash flow of $70 million and free cash flow* of $53 million support a strong balance sheet.

Key Figures
Comments from Mikael Bratt, President & CEO
Our sales outperformed global LVP by around 3pp (IHS Markit April 2022) in the quarter, despite adverse regional mix effects and we expect increased outperformance for the remainder of the year. Our balance sheet remains strong, and our leverage ratio* remains within our target range. We paid a dividend of $0.64 per share and started repurchasing shares under our 3-year stock repurchase program.
The war in Ukraine is an inconceivable tragedy and a massive humanitarian crisis and my thoughts go to those affected.
The first quarter of 2022 saw adverse impacts on an already distressed global supply chain, leading to increased cost inflation as well as lower global LVP. At the same time, customer demand visibility decreased, and customer call-off volatility increased leading to significantly higher premium freight and transportation costs. As a result of this, our sales and profitability were lower than we expected at the beginning of the quarter. Raw material cost increases impacted our operating margin negatively, by more than 5 percentage points and adding effects from logistical bottlenecks and premium freight, the margin headwind was more than 7pp in the quarter.
In response to the increasingly difficult market conditions, we further strengthened our cost control measures, implemented a hiring freeze and accelerated other cost savings and footprint activities.
Our strategic roadmap is on track and yielding results; we recently announced capacity alignments and footprint actions in Japan, Europe and Americas. In the quarter, we divested one property in Japan and closed one plant in South Korea. We continue to adjust direct labor to a lower demand level.
We continue focused discussions with our customers regarding cost inflation compensation claims, which include price increases and other recoveries. We believe our price increases will begin to offset the cost inflation from around mid-year. However, we expect the second quarter adjusted operating margin to be weaker than in the first quarter, as we expect cost inflation to increase faster than cost compensations in the second quarter.
Our new indication of a 2022 full year organic sales growth of around 12-17% and an adjusted operating margin of around 5.5%-7.0% is based on the assumptions that global LVP will grow 0-5% and that we achieve our targeted cost compensation effects along with some market stabilization. Based on this, our ongoing actions should bring us back on track towards our mid-term adjusted operating margin target.

Which Superman coloring book is best?
Coloring is a fantastic way for adults to practice “mindfulness-based stress reduction.” This means coloring is rewarding, no matter what age you are. All you have to do is find a theme that you like and get started.
Superman is one of the most famous heroes in the world. Because of this, some Superman coloring books are for kids, and some are for adults. The “Justice League: An Adult Coloring Book” is a great option for grown-ups. Some of the biggest names in the comic book industry did the illustrations.
What to know before you buy a Superman coloring book
Coloring benefits both kids and adults
When children learn to color, it stimulates their creativity, teaches them how to make choices, and develops hand-to-eye coordination and fine motor skills. It also boosts self-esteem, lets them learn to be in the moment and helps them excel in school. But if you think coloring books are only for kids, you’ll be surprised to learn that they are essential tools for adults as well.
When an adult is focused on coloring, it lets them focus on something other than stressors. Coloring can help an adult improve vision and maintain physical dexterity. It teaches mindfulness, reduces anxiety and sets the stage for a better night’s sleep.
Be careful about buying knockoff Superman coloring books
If you are not a fan of comic books, it is possible to purchase a knockoff coloring book. While this might not matter to you, if you buy it for a child who specifically wanted a Superman coloring book, they will not enjoy it as much as they could.
To protect yourself, you need to watch out for red flags. This can be anything from odd color schemes on the cover to misspelled words throughout the book. Another sign that you are buying a counterfeit Superman coloring book is the presence of diacritics on the name “Superman.” Diacritics are the accent marks above or below a letter that indicate a different pronunciation. There are no diacritics used in Superman’s name.
What to look for in a quality Superman coloring book
Style of the line drawing
Different individuals have different aesthetics. A coloring book with thin, sketchy lines might please some, while others prefer drawings featuring bold, thick lines. Additionally, some may only want a picture of Superman, while others long for an entire action scene to color. If you don’t choose a coloring book with artwork that pleases you, you might end up not using it.
Appropriate age range
It is easy to tell when a coloring book is designed for a younger child. The shapes will be large and uncomplicated because that child doesn’t have the motor skills to color in small, complicated shapes. While an older kid can always color in a book meant for a younger child, the opposite is not true. It is best to choose a coloring book that matches the artist’s age.
Quality of the pages
If the pages of your Superman coloring book are newsprint, you won’t be able to use markers on them and they will tear easily. The best Superman coloring book has durable pages appropriate for a wide variety of media.
Images on only one side of the page
For individuals who want to display their artwork, it is best to find a Superman coloring book with images on one side of the page.
Inclusion of other heroes
If the only superhero you like is Superman, a book that only has Superman pictures is best. However, if you also like Batman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Cyborg and others, look for a coloring book featuring other heroes from the DC universe.
Inclusion of other activities
Some kids enjoy puzzles and games as much as they do coloring. If this sounds like your child, a Superman book that includes other activities will give you the most bang for your buck.
Book bundle
Occasionally, you can find two or more coloring books bundled together and sold as a single package. The advantage of purchasing Superman coloring books as a collection is a lower price per book.
How much you can expect to spend on a Superman coloring book
Superman coloring books are an affordable way to have fun. Most books cost $8-$16, and they can provide weeks of entertainment.
Superman coloring book FAQ
Is Superman part of the Marvel Universe?
A. No. Superman is part of the DC universe. He is part of the Justice League, not Marvel’s Avengers.
What colors do I need for Superman’s costume?
A. The most recognizable Superman costume has only three colors: blue, red and yellow. His boots, trunks, “S” and cape are red. His belt and background of his logo are yellow.

There is growing evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine, including signs of indiscriminate shelling and summary executions, the United Nations human rights office says, adding Ukraine also appeared to have used weapons with indiscriminate effects.
"Russian armed forces have indiscriminately shelled and bombed populated areas, killing civilians and wrecking hospitals, schools and other civilian infrastructure, actions that may amount to war crimes," the office of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said.
UN human rights monitors in Ukraine have also documented what appeared to be the use of weapons with indiscriminate effects, causing civilian casualties, by Ukrainian armed forces in the east of the country, OHCHR said in a statement.
Russia, which describes its incursion as a special military operation to disarm and "denazify" Ukraine, denies targeting civilians or committing any war crimes.
The OHCHR said that from the start of the war on February 24 until April 20, monitors in Ukraine had verified 5264 civilian casualties - 2345 killed and 2919 injured.
Of these, 92.3 per cent were recorded in government-controlled territory and 7.7 per cent in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions controlled by Russian armed forces and affiliated groups, it said.
"We know the actual numbers are going to be much higher as the horrors inflicted in areas of intense fighting, such as Mariupol, come to light," Bachelet said.
"The scale of summary executions of civilians in areas previously occupied by Russian forces are also emerging.
"The preservation of evidence and decent treatment of mortal remains must be ensured, as well as psychological and other relief for victims and their relatives."
During a mission to Bucha on April 9, UN human rights officers documented the unlawful killing, including by summary execution, of around 50 civilians, it said.
They have received more than 300 allegations of killings of civilians in the regions of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy, all under the control of Russian armed forces in late February and early March.
Monitors were looking into allegations of sexual violence by members of the Russian armed forces, and reports that both sides were improperly detaining civilians, the organisation said.
However, asked about allegations of genocide - including by US President Joe Biden - spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said OHCHR had not found information to back this up.
"A lot of these legal qualifications - crimes against humanity and genocide - at the end of the day would be for a court of law to determine," she told an online briefing in Geneva.
"But no, we have not documented patterns that could amount to that." | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/conflict/growing-evidence-of-war-crimes-in-ukraine-c-6546387 | 2022-04-22T12:37:52Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/conflict/growing-evidence-of-war-crimes-in-ukraine-c-6546387 | true | 9 |
Juventus legend Giorgio Chiellini could join Gareth Bale in quitting Europe this summer to finish career in MLS
JUVENTUS defender Giorgio Chiellini has been linked with a summer switch to MLS to finish his career.
The veteran Italian, 37, is claimed to be pondering his future in Turin despite being tied down at the Allianz Stadium until 2023.
In an injury-hit season, Chiellini has still managed to feature in 22 games in all competitions.
SunSport exclusively revealed last month how the Old Lady were preparing for life after the Euro 2020 winner after identifying Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger as a target.
It has even been reported that Chiellini has agreed to terminate his contract at Juve in the upcoming window.
And now transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed he is open to leaving, and could be tempted by a move to America.
He tweeted: "Giorgio Chiellini’s considering to leave Juventus at the end of current season.
"And MLS could be his next destination - he’s tempted by this possibility.
"Current deal expires in June 2022 (2023) but Chiellini’s now open to try a new experience."
It's not only Chiellini that could decide to switch continents, with Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale also rumoured to be heading Stateside.

The 32-year-old is set to become a free agent when his deal at the Bernabeu expires at the end of the campaign.
And according to The Washington Post's Steven Goff, Bale could be poised to make the move to America ahead of the 2022 World Cup.
The reporter has declared that the forward is in negotiations with DC United about a potential transfer.
And he has even suggested they would be prepared to make him their highest-paid player in history after Wayne Rooney.
Rooney is believed to have pocketed around £300,000-a-week at Audi Field after arriving in 2018 from Everton.

Biden issuing Earth Day order to protect old-growth forests from wildfire
SEATTLE - President Joe Biden is taking steps to restore national forests that have been devastated by wildfires, drought and blight, using an Earth Day visit to Seattle to sign an executive order protecting some of the nation’s largest and oldest trees.
Old-growth trees are key buffers against climate change and provide crucial carbon sinks that absorb significant amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
Biden's order directs federal land managers to define and inventory mature and old-growth forests nationwide within a year. The order requires the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service to identify threats to older trees, such as wildfire and climate change, and develop policies to safeguard them.
The order does not ban logging of mature or old-growth trees, the White House said.

By signing the order on Friday, Biden can publicly reassert his environmentalist credentials at a time when his administration has been preoccupied by high oil and gasoline prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Gas costs have been a drag on Biden's popularity and created short-term political pressures going into this year's midterm elections, yet the Democratic president has been focused on wildfires that are intensifying because of climate change.
The measure is intended to safeguard national forests that been severely damaged by wildfires, drought and blight, including recent fires that killed thousands of giant sequoias in California. Redwood forests are among the world’s most efficient at removing and storing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and provide critical habitat for native wildlife and watersheds that supply farms and communities in the West.
Blazes so intense to kill trees once considered virtually fire-proof have alarmed land managers, environmentalists and tree lovers the world over — and demonstrated the grave impacts of climate change. A warming planet that has created longer and hotter droughts, combined with a century of fire suppression that choked forests with thick undergrowth, has fueled flames that extinguished trees dating to ancient civilizations.
RELATED: Western WA had among worst air quality in U.S. due to wildfire season, data shows
A senior administration official noted that forests absorb more than 10% of U.S. annual greenhouse gases, while also providing flood control, clean water, clear air and a home to wildlife. The official insisted on anonymity to discuss details of Biden’s order before it was made public.
Biden's ambitious climate agenda has been marred by setbacks, a year after he took office amid a flurry of climate-related promises. The president hosted a virtual summit on global warming at the White House last Earth Day. He used the moment to nearly double the United States’ goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, vaulting the country to the front lines in the fight against climate change.
A year later, his most sweeping proposals remain stalled on Capitol Hill despite renewed warnings from scientists that the world is hurtling toward a dangerous future marked by extreme heat, drought and weather.
In addition, Russia’s war in Ukraine has reshuffled the politics of climate change, leading Biden to release oil from the nation’s strategic reserve and encourage more domestic drilling in hopes of lowering sky-high gas prices that are emptying American wallets.
While Biden is raising fuel economy standards for vehicles and included green policies in last year’s bipartisan infrastructure law, the lack of greater progress casts a shadow over his second Earth Day as president.
Timber industry representative Nick Smith said before the order was made public that loggers are worried it will add more bureaucracy to a forest management framework already unable to keep up with growing wildfires due to climate change.
That would undercut the Biden administration’s goal of doubling the amount of logging and controlled burns over the next decade to thin forests in the tinder-dry West, said Smith, a spokesman for the American Forest Resource Council, an Oregon-based industry group.
"The federal government has an urgent need to reduce massive greenhouse gas emissions from severe wildfires, which can only be accomplished by actively managing our unhealthy and overstocked federal forests," he said.
But former U.S. Forest Service Deputy Chief Jim Furnish said wildfire risks and climate change would be better addressed by removing smaller trees that can fuel uncontrolled blazes, while leaving mature trees in place.
For many years the Forest Service allowed older trees that are worth more to be logged, to bring in money for removal of smaller trees, Furnish said. But that’s no longer necessary after Congress approved more than $5 billion to reduce wildfire risks in last year’s infrastructure bill, he said. The law includes money to hire 1,500 firefighters and ensure they earn at least $15 an hour.
Timber sales from federal forests nationwide more than doubled over the past 20 years, as Republicans and Democrats have pushed more aggressive thinning of stands to reduce small trees and vegetation that fuel wildfires.
Critics, including many forest scientists, say officials are allowing removal of too many older trees that can withstand fire.
A letter signed by 135 scientists called on Biden to protect mature and old-growth forests as a critical climate solution.
"Older forests provide the most above-ground carbon storage potential on Earth, with mature forests and larger trees driving most accumulation of forest carbon in the critical next few decades. Left vulnerable to logging, though, they cannot fulfill these vital functions,'' the scientists wrote Thursday. Former Forest Service Chief Mike Dombeck and Norman Christensen, founding dean and professor emeritus at Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment, were among those signing the letter.
Protecting mature forests also "would set an important, highly visible example for other major forest-holding nations to follow as they address climate change threats,'' the scientists wrote.

DERBY, Kan. (KSNW) — A Derby High School (DHS) student was surprised with a full-ride scholarship on Thursday, April 21.
Christian Crawford, a senior at DHS, was sitting in class when two Marines and his family unexpectedly arrived.
Crawford was presented with a $180,000 check, as he received a Naval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) Scholarship.
“I am very excited for the opportunity to further my education and contribute to serving my country,” Crawford said. “I am very grateful for this opportunity and hope to see what the future holds.”
After graduating high school, Crawford plans to attend the University of Kansas to study Business and Prelaw. He plans on participating in track and the ROTC program. After college, he is planning to enter the military as a second lieutenant and hopes to work in the Judge Advocate General (JAG) program.
At DHS, Crawford has played on the football team all four years and has won state three times. Crawford also participated in track and was a state qualifier in the 100-meter dash. | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/derby-student-surprised-with-full-ride-scholarship/ | 2022-04-22T12:51:32Z | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/derby-student-surprised-with-full-ride-scholarship/ | false | 2 |
Japan says disputed islands ‘illegally occupied’ by Russia
Japan described four disputed islands as “illegally occupied” by Russia for the first time in nearly two decades on Friday as ties sour between the countries over the war in Ukraine.
The two nations have long been engaged in attempts to agree a post-World War II treaty, but the islands held by Moscow and claimed by Tokyo remain a key sticking point.
Japan’s foreign ministry last used the expression to describe the islands, which Moscow calls the Kurils and Tokyo the Northern Territories, in its annual policy report in 2003.
For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
This year’s Diplomatic Bluebook report comes at a time when tough sanctions are being imposed on Russia by Japan and its G7 partners, and ahead of a key revision to Japan’s national security strategy later this year.
“The greatest concern between Japan and Russia is the Northern Territories,” it said, calling them “Japanese territories over which Japan holds sovereign rights, but are currently illegally occupied by Russia.”
Similar language had been used in previous years but without the “illegally occupied” phrase.
The ministry also said the Ukraine crisis would stall its treaty talks with Russia.
Moscow said it would drop the talks last month, citing the “impossibility” of continuing discussions as Tokyo was “striving to cause harm to the interest of our country.”
On Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the islands are “inalienable territory of the Russian Federation.”
“At a time when Japan has become an unfriendly country and has joined in a whole series of hostile actions toward our country, it is really very difficult to talk about the continuation of the negotiation process,” he told reporters.
Friday’s report took a cautious tone on China, even though Japan has previously expressed concern over Beijing’s increasing maritime activities in the region.
“It is important to build a constructive and stable Japan-China relationship,” it said, while reiterating concern over Beijing’s “attempts to change the status quo by force in the East and South China Seas.”

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Paul Pogba might have played his last game for Manchester United.
The France midfielder, who is out of contract at the end of the season, came off injured in the 4-0 loss to Liverpool on Tuesday and will take at least four weeks to recover, United manager Ralf Rangnick said Friday.
“I don’t think it is very likely that he will be able to play again (this season),” Rangnick said.
Pogba joined United in 2016 for a second spell at a club where he came through the academy, before moving to Juventus in 2012.
He has struggled to reproduce the form he delivers on a more consistent basis for the French national team.

VEGOILS-Palm logs weekly loss, Indonesia's export ban to spur prices next week
By Mei Mei Chu
KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures clocked their first weekly fall in three on weak exports and expectations of higher production, although the contract ended slightly higher on Friday.
Investors expect the next week to be bullish for palm after Indonesia, the world's largest palm oil producer, shocked the market with an announcement of a ban on exports.
The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for July delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange closed up 36 ringgit, or 0.57%, at 6,349 ringgit ($1,468.66) a tonne.
For the week, palm has declined 1.84%.
Indonesia will effectively ban shipments of cooking oil and its raw material to control domestic prices from April 28, President Joko Widodo said after the market closed on Friday.
This is expected to further throttle supply of a vegetable oil market already constricted by adverse weather conditions, labour shortages and the Russian-Ukraine war.
Malaysia, the world's second-largest producer, kept its May export tax for crude palm oil at 8% and raised its reference price to 6,759.22 ringgit ($1,564.63) per tonne.
The market has priced in a higher stockpile outlook for April, based on better production and weaker exports, said Sathia Varqa, co-founder of Singapore-based Palm Oil Analytics.
Supporting the market, ringgit MYR=, palm's currency of trade fell 0.79% against the dollar to its lowest since June 2020, making the commodity cheaper for holders of foreign currency.
In related oils, Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 gained 0.6%, and its palm oil contract DCPcv1 fell 0.5%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 surged 2.7% following Indonesia's announcement, extending a seven-day winning streak.
Palm oil is affected by price movements in related oils as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oils market.
($1 = 4.3230 ringgit)

CALGARY, Alberta (AP)Matthew Tkachuk scored his 40th goal, Christopher Tanev scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period, and the Calgary Flames beat the Dallas Stars 4-2 on Thursday night to win the Pacific Division title.
The Flames won their division for the eighth time in franchise history but just the third in the last 27 years.
”The team deserves it,” coach Darryl Sutter said. ”They’ve been the most consistent team in the division. They deserve to win the division.”
Noah Hanifin and Andrew Mangiapane also scored for Calgary, which is 8-1-1 in its past 10 games.
”It’s an accomplishment to win the division,” Mikael Backlund said. ”It’s a long season. So the guys have done a great job and I’m really proud of our team.
”We’re not satisfied. We want to do something really big here. We know we can do it.”
Jason Robertson and Luke Glendening scored for the Stars, who lost all three games on their Western Canada trip as they fight for a wild-card playoff berth.
The Flames will host the top Western Conference wild card in the first playoff round. Dallas has a precarious hold on the second wild-card spot, two points ahead of Vegas. The Stars play their last four games at home.
”If we’ve got to do it the hard way, well, we’re going to do it the hard way,” Stars coach Rick Bowness said. ”We get back to a great atmosphere in our rink, and we’ve got four home games.
”We still control our own destiny. We just have to take full advantage of it – and we’re going to.”
Jacob Markstrom had 21 saves for the Flames and Jake Oettinger stopped 33 shots for Dallas.
”We would like to have locked up our spot already. This road trip, we kind of gave some other teams some life,” Oettinger said.
Calgary went ahead 2-1 20 seconds into the third period when Hanifin’s point shot eluded Oettinger, who was screened by Backlund.
The Stars answered five minutes later. Fredrik Karlstrom was stopped on a partial breakaway, but in making the save, Markstrom’s momentum carried him to out of the crease. Glendening was right there to deposit the rebound into the vacant net.
The assist by Karlstrom was his first NHL point in his first career game.
Tanev made it 3-2 at 13:05 on a point shot that deflected in off the leg of Glendening, who was battling with Backlund in front. Mangiapane’s goal was an empty-netter.
Calgary scored first for the NHL-leading 50th time. With the Flames on the power play, Tkachuk stuffed the puck in from the side of the net at 10:06 of the second and thrust his arms in the air in celebration as his linemates mobbed him.
”You can tell right away when he entered the league, he was a special player,” Backlund said. ”Special, character on the ice, loves scoring goals and a big-time player.
”He’s just been getting better and better every year and this year he’s taken it to another level.”
Tkachuk’s goal also put the 24-year-old winger at 100 points. His previous career highs were 34 goals and 77 points in 2018-19. Johnny Gaudreau reached 100 points last week, giving Calgary two players over the century mark for the first time since 1990-91 when Theo Fleury and Al MacInnis did it.
”I was probably more excited about the 40 to be completely honest,” Tkachuk said. ”Coolest part for me was the guys coming in, they were way more excited than I was and I didn’t think that could be possible.”
Robertson tied the game on the power play less than two minutes after Tkachuk’s goal.
NOTES: Tkachuk is Calgary’s first 40-goal scorer since Jarome Iginla had 43 in 2010-11. … The Stars’ five-game winning streak against the Flames was snapped. Dallas had been 9-1-1 in its previous 11 games at the Saddledome. … Tyler Toffoli recorded his 200th career assist.

Stars: Host Seattle on Saturday night.
Flames: Host Vancouver on Saturday night.

SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--nirvanaHealth (formerly RxAdvance) and HealthTeam Advantage (“HTA”) announce their partnership, with HTA embracing both nirvanaHealth’s Medicare Advantage and PBM complete enterprise solution. These solutions run on Aria, nirvanaHealth’s integrated Payer & PBM robotic process automation (RPA) cloud-native platform. Based in Greensboro, NC, HTA is a Medicare plan with a five-star rating offers Medicare Advantage plans to eligible Medicare beneficiaries and is expected to go live with nirvanaHealth for this Fall’s annual enrollment period (AEP). HTA will be migrating onto the Aria platform and will also use nirvanaHealth for both PBM and Payer business services.
Both nirvanaHealth’s Medicare Advantage and PBM complete enterprise solutions include its Aria platform, which runs on AWS and leverages RPA, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI). Aria is the first integrated Payer & PBM platform. nirvanaHealth’s Aria platform will be the backbone of all Payer and PBM operations for HTA, helping to recognize significant savings and enhance plan improvements for their members. Aria delivers a Patient 360° view to every care provider in the care continuum, including point-of-sale and point-of-care. “We have never seen anything like Aria. With this revolutionary platform, we can recognize significant SG&A cost savings that will then enable more premium dollars to be used for the overall healthcare needs of our members,” says Brendan Hodges, President & CEO of HTA. “We’re excited to bring quality care improvements and a delightful experience to our members.”
Aria deploys a digital workforce to automate and manage all health plan and PBM operations—including sales, marketing, claims adjudication, administrative, financial, clinical, medical, utilization, care management, quality rating, and risk contracting & management functions—with built-in compliance. Plans can then allocate their human capital to more high-touch value activities, such as member healthcare experience, social determinants of health, wellness regimens, and care management functions. “Even these needed high-touch operations are made more intelligent through artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML),” says Ravi Ika, CEO and Founder of nirvanaHealth.
nirvanaHealth’s Medicare Advantage solution includes Payer business services, which leverages Aria to simplify Medicare Advantage operations end-to-end for any health plan in a compliant way. “MA plans like HTA can manage at low SG&A costs when fully implemented. Aria eliminates the need to utilize multiple vendors and platforms, increasing operational efficiency,” adds Ika. “By using the Aria platform, Medicare Advantage plans can creatively distribute and manage risk with partners, such as IPAs and MSOs. Additionally, Aria can help improve quality ratings by sharing actionable intelligence directly into care provider workflows. This includes gaps in care, continuity of care, and accurate risk-adjustment,” says John Sculley, Chairman of nirvanaHealth and former CEO of Apple.
Similarly, nirvanaHealth’s PBM complete enterprise solution includes full-service PBM services on top of the Aria PBM platform capabilities. HTA will go live on the Aria platform with nirvanaHealth as its full-service PBM with competitive 100% pass-through network and rebate contracts. This solution reimagines the pharmacy benefit management ecosystem to reduce overall pharmacy costs, converts specialty drug management from buy and bill to value-based & outcome-driven, and integrates pharmacy care management to eliminate avoidable medical costs. “HTA will be the first Payer in the country to have integrated Payer and PBM,” concludes Ika. “We are excited to partner with HTA and demonstrate how one platform is all you need to manage Payer and PBM.”

‘UK has ordered their extradition’: What Boris said on Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi
2 min read . Updated: 22 Apr 2022, 05:27 PM IST- We don’t welcome people who want to use our legal system to evade the law in India, reiterated the British PM
The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday, said that extradition cases were stuck due to legal technicalities, on being asked about Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya and other Khalistani extremists.
“We've set up an anti-extremist task force to help India...UK govt ordered extradition...We don’t welcome people who want to use our legal system to evade the law in India," The British PM mentioned.
“We don't tolerate extremist groups setting up in UK threatening other countries, threatening India," the British PM stated that the UK government has set up an anti-extremist task force to help India.
On being asked about fugitives Nirav Modi and Vijay Mallya who has sought refuge in the United Kingdom, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said, "the UK government has ordered their extradition".
The British Prime Minister also expressed that one point these people need to be taken back to India for trial. He also made it clear that Britain would not welcome people that use their legal system to evade trial in India.
Vijay Mallya is an Indian businessman at present fighting extradition from the UK. Mallya, who owes 17 Indian banks an estimated ₹9,000 crore, is accused of fraud and money laundering in the country.
Meanwhile Nirav Modi, is a fugitive Indian businessman who was in the business of luxury diamond jewellery. He is the founder of Nirav Modi chain of diamond jewellery retail stores. Modi is being investigated in the $2 billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case. He was charged by the Indian government for criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, cheating, corruption, money laundering, fraud, embezzlement and breach of contract in August 2018 in the PNB scam case.
On his first visit to the Indian capital as UK prime minister, Johnson discussed with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi ways to boost security ties with India, which buys more than half of its military hardware from Russia.
Johnson said Britain was also creating an India-specific open general export license to slash delivery times for defence items. Only the European Union and the United States currently have such licences. | https://www.livemint.com/news/india/uk-has-ordered-their-extradition-what-boris-said-on-vijay-mallya-nirav-modi-11650625933831.html | 2022-04-22T13:06:52Z | https://www.livemint.com/news/india/uk-has-ordered-their-extradition-what-boris-said-on-vijay-mallya-nirav-modi-11650625933831.html | false | 2 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Decades of conservation efforts have stabilized the population of endangered mountain gorillas in eastern Africa. But the number of Grauer’s gorillas — a less furry, lower elevation-dwelling animal — has declined, largely due to habitat loss and hunting.
On Friday, the nonprofit Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund announced that more land in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo where Grauer’s gorillas live will fall under a community-protection initiative.
The critically endangered species has lost an estimated 60% of its population in the past two decades, and an estimated 3,800 to 6,800 individuals remain.
Most Grauer’s gorillas now live outside national parks, and protecting them will be difficult in a region facing sustained human conflicts. Their rainforest homes are being cleared for agriculture and mining, and the gorillas are sometimes hunted for food or trapped by snares intended to catch other animals.
A 2016 law allows communities in Congo to apply for rights to manage their traditional lands. The Fossey Fund has helped communities in eastern Congo complete that paperwork and entered into agreements with families to provide assistance and training for the sustainable management of their lands.
On Friday, it announced that 307 square miles (796 square kilometers) had been added to the program. The addition means 919 square miles (2,379 square kilometers) are now being watched over by about 20 families.
The community can decide what activities should be allowed on their lands, and to try to enforce those choices. The Fossey Fund provides education and funding.
Community members are trained and then hired “to conduct the science needed to monitor the biodiversity of the forest — biological inventories, gorilla tracking, plant biomass for estimating carbon capture,” said Urbain Ngobobo, director of the nonprofit’s Congo programs.
This model differs from the approach used to protect the mountain gorillas. They live almost exclusively within the boundaries of national parks in Rwanda, Uganda and Congo, allowing researchers to cooperate with park managers to protect the species.
Most Grauer’s gorillas don’t live inside national parks — and it’s not feasible to expand the parks to fully cover their habitats.
“Grauer’s gorillas exist exclusively in a country that has suffered really extreme degrees of instability for decades,” said Richard Bergl, a primatologist and director of conservation at the North Carolina Zoo.
“When there is violence happening, it’s very challenging to maintain the infrastructure of a national park,“ he said. ”But the communities will be there regardless of political instability. If you have their support, you have a chance.”
Community interests vary, but in general there is an incentive to protect their lands from being pillaged by outsiders, whether they’re illegal mining operators or commercial hunters, said Dirck Byler, vice chair of the great apes specialist group for the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the scientific body that designates species as endangered.
“Most of these communities want to maintain their forests as they’ve been in the past,” used for subsistence hunting and plant harvesting, said Byler, who has worked extensively in Congo.
Community-based conservation schemes have been effective in slowing or reversing the decline of endangered species in other regions, such as the Nigerian mountains where cross river gorillas live and the savannah of northwestern Namibia where endangered rhinos live, Bergl said.
“The wildlife there would be gone if it weren’t for community involvement and management,” he said. “If we’re going to be successful, it’s going to be because of efforts to support the communities to manage their forests.”

Portrait of an Unknown Lady by María Gainza, translated by Thomas Bunstead (Harvill Secker, £14.99) Insincerity, said Oscar Wilde, “is merely a method by which we can multiply our personalities”. It’s a principle that María Gainza applies with brio to her dazzling novel about art and authenticity, seeing and not seeing, evocatively titled La Luz Negra (The Black Light) in its original Spanish. There are plenty of unknown ladies in the book. Our narrator is unpicking the life of her late employer Enriqueta, “the single, despotic authority on the price and authenticity of all paintings”, who turns out to have been providing fake authentication for forgeries, particularly of works by the real-life artist Mariette Lydis. An assemblage of literary quotations, court papers, auction catalogues and the “fairground kaleidoscope” of memory, the novel packs a huge amount into its 208 pages. If the reader is never quite sure what’s fact and what’s fiction, that’s just part of the fun. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2577256729889/contemporary-book-group-main-virtual | 2022-04-22T13:12:39Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2577256729889/contemporary-book-group-main-virtual | true | 54 |

France's Renault Plans To Spin-Off Electric Vehicle Unit, Mulls IPO
The French carmaker Groupe Renault (OTC: RNLSY) said that it is considering "all options," including a possible public listing in the second half of 2023, for separating its electric vehicle (EV) arm, according to Reuters.
Renault's finance chief Thierry Piéton further added that any plans were subject to approval from its Japanese alliance partner Nissan Motor Co. (OTC: NSANY)

Renault has been pushing its plans to split the EV business as it seeks to match up with rivals such as Elon Musk-owned Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), Volkswagen AG (OTC: VWAGY), and Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), among others.
Ford spinned-off its electric vehicle business last month, naming it Model e.
This came after Renault Group revenue dropped 2.7% in the first quarter but was better than expected amid the impact of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and an ongoing global shortage of semiconductors.
Meanwhile, the drop in first-quarter revenue followed a 17% decline in Renault's vehicle sales to 552,000 vehicles — the lowest quarterly sales since the global financial crisis in 2009.

President Jair Bolsonaro Economy minister, Paulo Guedes said that Brazil clearly condemns the Russian invasion of Ukraine but is point blank against imposing economic sanctions on Moscow, a close BRICS partner.
The minister who favors open markets and selling government assets to the private sector insisted Russia should not be expelled from multilateral organizations such as the IMF and the World Bank, since it would destroy bridges and stimulate a disastrous economic war.
Guedes who was addressing a conference organized by the Center of Strategic and International Studies (a think tank linked to George Washington University in Washington DC), said we are against war and against the economic consequences which are the sanctions.
Russia has officially requested Brazil support in the IMF, World Bank and G20 to help counter the paralyzing sanctions imposed by the West since Moscow invaded Ukraine triggering a conflict of over two months.
Guedes also pointed out that Brazil is a crucial global partner to ensure energy and food security, which have been seriously curtailed as a consequence of the Eastern Europe conflict.
The Chicago School minister also mentioned that this is the right moment for Brazil to access the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development and to conclude the free trade agreement between the European Union and the South American block of Mercosur.
If the agreement is not made effective, Brazil will increase trade with Asia and the Middle East, Guedes anticipated. Several EU countries question Brazil's record in environmental policy and also fear the market strength of the agriculture power the country has become. Brazil is among the world's leading exporter of soybeans, cereals and proteins.

Vaccine inequity remains an issue both within India, where less than 2 per cent of the population has received a Covid booster, and the globe with 56 countries unable to inoculate even 10 percent of their people, says Johns Hopkins scientist Amita Gupta.
Tracking hospitalisation rates which provide an indicator of severity of illness is key, the chief of the Division of Infectious Disease, and Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine said while stressing that no one is safe from Covid until everyone in the world gets vaccinated.
She cited the example of the Omicron variant to buttress her point.
The highly transmissible variant is believed to have emerged in November last year in South Africa and Botswana due to inadequate immunisation in African countries before spreading globally, Gupta said, adding that another variant is likely to follow the same trend.
"Global vaccine inequity remains an issue both within India and globally. For example, in the continent of Africa less than 20 per cent of the population is currently vaccinated and there are countries in Africa still with less than 2 per cent vaccinated," Gupta told PTI in an email interview.
As immunities wane and new Covid variants emerge, it is more important than ever that communities are fully vaccinated and boosted, she said.
"It is not enough to fully vaccinate only a few countries. Health workers and highest-risk populations in all countries must be fully vaccinated to stop the pandemic," she added.
In India, Gupta said, there are some hard to reach areas and there is urgent need to increase booster vaccination for those who are eligible.
"It is hard to predict whether further mutations in SARS-CoV-2 will increase or decrease the intrinsic virulence of the virus or the severity caused by it," the public health expert said.
"What we do know is that no one is safe from COVID-19 until everyone in the world is safe. The vast majority of vaccines have been administered in high- and upper-middle-income countries. Fifty-six countries have been effectively excluded from the global vaccine marketplace and have not been able to vaccinate even 10 per cent of their population," she added.
A large, densely populated country like India must ensure that the population has some measure of protection against severe disease -- either through immunization or previous infection.
As immunities wane and variants emerge, Gupta said it is more important than ever that communities are fully vaccinated and boosted.
"Less than 2 per cent of the population (in India) currently has received a Covid booster even though there is no shortage of supply. This number needs to increase."
The cumulative number of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered in India crossed 187 crore on Wednesday, according to the Union Health ministry. The total number of precaution doses given to adults stands at 2,35,786 (2.3 lakh).
Going forward, Gupta anticipates periodic increases in cases with new, more transmissible variants. Tracking hospitalisation rates is pivotal.
While some countries like the UK are seeing local increases in the number of cases, hospitalisations are not increasing significantly and health systems are managing the increases.
"Anticipate a similar situation will occur in India with these current sub variants. It is possible that India could face another surge but will be better prepared as people are more aware, systems have been strengthened and surveillance is ongoing," she added.
The pandemic, Gupta noted, is still not over and it is difficult to predict when new variants will emerge and how these strains will behave.
"We should continue close surveillance for early detection of Covid cases through existing surveillance networks in the country and be prepared to trigger recommendations to resume masking, social distancing if and when surges occur," she said.
According to the World Health Organization, BA.2, a more contagious Omicron sub variant, is now driving most coronavirus cases around the world.
Gupta said the new variants are more transmissible than previous variants and an increase of cases is being observed.
"Vaccines continue to protect against manifestations of severe disease. Future morbidity and mortality depend on age demographics, weariness to guidelines, and vaccine and booster intake," she said.
"Global vaccinations and accurate disease surveillance will reduce the infection rate. In India, 73 per cent received the first dose, 61 per cent two doses, and 1.7 per cent received a booster as of April 13 so continuing to encourage the remaining population to get vaccinated is important," Gupta explained.
Studies have shown that current Covid vaccines have had some reduction in efficacy in protecting people from infection and from developing severe disease with Omicron and its sub-variants.
Vaccines, Gupta stressed, are still reducing risk of severe disease in over 50 per cent of those who get the infection.
"A lot of work is ongoing to prepare newer vaccines to optimise efficacy in preparation for additional new variants."
Many experts in the past have said that Covid in India was moving towards endemicity, a stage when the presence of a disease becomes steady in a particular region or at least predictable.
"There are three possible futures: ongoing peaks of high disease and evolution of the virus with increased infection rate, seasonal epidemic COVID-19, and endemic COVID-19. We are not yet at a place where we can say COVID is endemic," Gupta explained.
Her concerns come as India on Friday reported a single day rise of 2,451 new Covid infections and 54 fatalities, taking the country's tally of cases to 4,30,52,425 (over 4.3 crore), and death toll to 5,22,116 (over 5.2 lakh).
For future pandemics, Gupta said it is crucial to apply the lessons learned from Covid and invest in health infrastructure to better equip the country to prevent tragedy.
She said long-term investment and sustained commitment are needed for strengthening public health and healthcare systems, and biomedical science in India.
The scientist noted that Johns Hopkins University has many different types of partnerships with India. These include working together to fight infectious diseases and identifying new diagnostics, treatments and prevention strategies for diseases such as TB, HIV, Covid, dengue, pneumococcal pneumonia and hepatitis.
"India is a critical partner for addressing global public health challenges and we learn so much from each other in Indo-JHU health partnerships," Gupta said.
"We are working together on models of public health and medical training, health systems strengthening, biomedical discovery, clinical research, data science and development of low-cost, accessible, affordable technologies to improve the health of communities and individuals across the globe," she added.

- 86% of consumers among younger generations (<45) showed a willingness to pay more for sustainable packaging
- 57% of consumers are "less likely" to buy products in harmful packaging
- 74% of consumers said they would be interested in buying products that come in refillable packaging
- 68% of consumers have chosen a product in the last six months based on its sustainability credentials
AMSTERDAM, April 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- New data reveals that consumer demand for eco-friendly and sustainable product packaging has proven remarkably stable and robust throughout the societal changes that have occurred in the last several years. Today, Trivium Packaging, releases its 2022 Global Buying Green Report, based on a survey of more than 15,000 consumers across Europe, North America, and South America on their values & behaviors related to sustainable packaging, including willingness to pay more for eco-friendly packaging, perceptions of materials, and interest in refillable packaging.
The study reveals a steady climb in younger consumers' dedication to sustainable living. 86% of those 45 and under mentioned to be willing to pay more for sustainable packaging, up from 83% comparing the same data set from Trivium's 2021 Global Buying Green report. Consumers strengthened their commitment to sustainable packaging and continue to lead the way in rewarding brands for moving to sustainable packaging, translating their values into behaviors.
Key findings conclude that overall consumer demand for sustainable packaging remains high. 70% identify as environmentally aware, up 3 percent from last year. In a new finding, 68% have chosen a product in the last six months based on its sustainability credentials. This result aligns closely with the more than two-thirds of consumers that identify as environmentally aware and demonstrates that consumers are translating awareness into action.
Meanwhile, 74% expressed interest in buying products in refillable packaging. Consumers want products in recyclable packaging, but they also recognize the value of extending the life of packaging through reuse. Refillable packaging is proving to be a versatile and valuable solution for consumer products.
"The data in this year's Buying Green report presents a strong case that transitioning to sustainable packaging is not only the right decision for the environment, but also the right decision for any business," said Jenny Wassenaar, Chief Sustainability Officer, Trivium Packaging. "Metal packaging is perfectly aligned with a circular economy. Once produced, metals exist forever and can be used, reused and recycled endlessly without any loss of quality."
Brands risk reducing their market share when they cannot meet consumer demand for sustainable packaging. Consumers are 57% less likely to buy products in packaging they consider harmful to the environment. 44% go one step further and declared they "won't buy" products in packaging that is harmful to the environment. Therefore, it is important for brands to share the full sustainability credentials of packaging so consumers can make informed decisions.
"Brands that take a more holistic approach to sustainability by making packaging material part of their story can help align perceptions with reality and strengthen their sustainability credentials," said Trivium Packaging CEO Michael Mapes. "Trivium has been a pioneer in expanding the use of infinitely recyclable metal in packaging by offering a range of innovative solutions that help brands enhance packaging sustainability. The consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging is higher than ever, and the consumer behaviors as a result speak for themselves – businesses need to step up."

Lewandowski 'has better chance of joining Barcelona' claims Laporta
Joan Laporta has said Robert Lewandowski "has a better chance" of joining Barcelona in response to a fan asking about a potential move for the Bayern Munich star.
Lewandowski has spent the last eight years at Bayern, but his current contract is due to expire in 2023.
GOAL has reported the German champions will open extension talks with the 33-year-old before the season ends, but he could depart this summer if an agreement is not reached with Barca among those being linked with a swoop.

- 'Football will be affected by a world that's not working' - Sampdoria star Thorsby on fighting climate change
- Fabio Miretti: Juventus wonderkid aiming to become 'The Italian De Bruyne'
What has Laporta said?
The Spanish giants are also thought to be interested in Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland, but his reported €30 million-per-year salary demands are likely to prove too steep.
Laporta has insisted Barca won't exceed La Liga's wage restrictions as they continue to try and balance the books following a record-breaking year of debt in 2021.
Lewandowski could be a much cheaper option given his age, and the Blaugrana president has now confirmed he is a realistic target.
A fan stopped Laporta after spotting him in public this week and asked: "Joan, is Lewandowski coming or not?" The Camp Nou chief replied: "This one has a better chance of coming, yes."
Bayern's stance on Lewandowski
Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn has confirmed they are eager to tie Lewandowski down to a new contract.
However, Kahn also admits the Poland international may take some persuading to stay at Allianz Arena given he has already won seven Bundesliga titles and the Champions League while breaking scoring records with the club.
"As of today, Robert has a contract with us for next season," Kahn said earlier this month. "We are in contact with Robert and want him to stay at Bayern for as long as possible.
"Apparently, some believe that such talks and contract negotiations are just like an online manager game, where I click on something and he then extends his contract. You also have to look at the situation of the players.
"Players who have performed well at this club for many years are outstanding. Robert became a world-class footballer with us. Robert is a player who has the potential to score 30 to 40 goals every year.
"Of course, at some point, players like this get the idea that 'I've achieved everything here and won everything'. Then it takes time to convince him to stay here." | https://www.goal.com/en-in/news/lewandowski-chance-of-joining-barcelona-laporta/blt266a788b158617fd | 2022-04-22T13:28:58Z | https://www.goal.com/en-in/news/lewandowski-chance-of-joining-barcelona-laporta/blt266a788b158617fd | false | 11 |

Club rugby is under way, and secondary school rugby is soon to follow. Kayla Hodge tracks down the Waitaki Boys’ High School and St Kevin’s College coaches to find out how the teams are looking this season.
WAITAKI BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL
Waitaki Boys’ High School’s First XV had a stand out season last year.
The school side narrowly beat St Kevin’s College twice — 21›19 to take the Leo O’Malley Trophy and 26›23 in the middle four final for the Otago Secondary School Ritchies Cup.
Coach Mark Wilson was proud of what his team produced and hoped this year’s side would bring something similar.
‘‘I think we’ll continue along the vein that we started because we’ve got kids that are in crucial positions . . . [but] every year’s different,’’ Wilson said.
Waitaki Boys’ has lost 13 players from last year’s squad, but flanker Lochie Mavor, halfback Alex Wilson, utility back Tyree Manaia, who was ‘‘crucial’’ for driving the back line, and No 8 Lotu Fifita, who had a ‘‘storming’’ 2021 season, have all returned.
Front rower Olive Willie also returned to New Zealand from the Cook Islands for his second year at Waitaki Boys’.
‘‘He’ll be massive, ’cause he’s just such a cool kid. It was crucial for us to have him back in the squad and the hostel.’’
Waitaki Boys’ and St Kevin’s College first XVs will both line up in the Otago Secondary Schools top grade this season, against Otago Boys’, King’s and Southland Boys’ High Schools and John McGlashan College.
Wilson could not wait for the season to get under way on May 14.
‘‘Any time you get to play the big boys, so to speak, is always a great experience for everybody.
‘‘I just think that for the size of a town like Oamaru to have the two high school teams in the top . . . is aphenomenal effort by both schools. We punch way above our weight.’’
Wilson, who will coach alongside Jason Mavor again this season, wanted to instil ‘‘brotherhood’’ in the team last season, and would push that again this year.
A good team culture was important, he said.
‘‘[Culture’s] a massive part of it. On the field, off the field, the community of supporters we gathered as well, I think that makes any sort of team.’’
The squad, featuring players from year 9›13, had been training for several weeks, with Waitaki Boys’ director of boarding Scott Mayhew, a former North Otago Heartland player, helping out.
ST KEVIN’S COLLEGE
St Kevin’s College is packed with potential this season.
The wider squad has been training for several weeks and the players’ dedication and positivity had been strong from the outset, coach Justin Fowler said.
Seven players from last year’s first XV have returned, including standout loose forward Ben Kay and back Beau Beadle.
‘‘That’s very critical,’’ Fowler said.
‘‘They’ve all got good work ethics and passing that on to the younger boys is really important for us to carry that sort of good team culture through.’’
The first XV features several year 12 players, and while it was ‘‘early days’’, Fowler believed in the team’s potential.
‘‘It’s got some real potential. . .certainly there’s some talent there, it’s just how we go about injuries and managing their load, I suppose.’’
St Kevin’s had a decent front row but was lacking in size in other areas on the field.
‘‘Which is a bit of a draw back when you’re playing those bigger schools — especially in the backs, we’re fairly small.’’
The team will start the season in the top grade. St Kevin’s dropped down after the first round last year but clawed its way back in after some good performances, only narrowly losing to Waitaki Boys’ in the middle four final.
Playing against those bigger schools would be ‘‘a bit of an ask’’, but the team would rise to the challenge.
The 28-player wider squad would be cut down to 20 before the start of the season, on May
14.
The team was yet to set goals for the season, but Fowler said St Kevin’s would aim to be in the top six come the end of the season.
St Kevin’s also competes in the Otago and Southland Co›ed Cup grade. Winning that grade was a goal every season, he said.
This week St Kevin’s and Waitaki Boys’ both played in the annual school holiday pre› season tournament, at St Kevin’s. It was a good hit-out for both, against Rangiora High School, Mid Canterbury combined, Selwyn combined, and Whanganui Collegiate School. | http://www.oamarumail.co.nz/sport/hopes-high-for-upcoming-first-xv-season/ | 2022-04-22T13:31:59Z | http://www.oamarumail.co.nz/sport/hopes-high-for-upcoming-first-xv-season/ | true | 1 |

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) funds biolabs around the world and contracts much of the work under the military program to private companies, which are not held accountable to Congress, and can operate more freely and move around the rule of law.
The recent scandal over the involvement of Hunter Biden in bioweapons research brought these companies to the forefront of public opinion. These companies not only have a poor track record, but are also directly involved in the development of bioweapons, posing a significant and growing threat to national and international security.
One such weapon possibly being the Covid-19 virus. Because The Defense Threat Reduction Agency awarded a contract on the 12th November 2019 to Labyrinth Global Health INC. for ‘COVID-19 Research’, at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19

Metabiota
Metabiota bungled Ebola response
San Francisco-based Metabiota was tapped by the Sierra Leonean government and the World Health Organization to help monitor the spread of virus and support the response after Ebola was discovered circulating in Africa in March 2014. The company’s failure to track samples and have absolutely no control on what was being done made an already chaotic situation worse.
WHO experts have criticised the company. In Sierra Leone, Sylvia Blyden, who served as special executive assistant to the country’s president in the early days of the outbreak, said Metabiota’s response was a disaster.
“They messed up the entire region,” she said.
She called Metabiota’s attempt to claim credit for its Ebola work “an insult for the memories of thousands of Africans who have died.”
Metabiota was involved in bioweapons research
In 2016 at the Lugar Center American scientists carried out research on the “Genome Sequence of the Soviet/ Russian Bacillus anthracis Vaccine Strain 55-VNIIVVIM”, which was funded by the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Cooperative Biological Engagement Program in Tbilisi, and administered by Metabiota.
Bacillus anthracis was a biological weapon agent used by the U.S. Army. Despite the Pentagon’ claims that its program is only defensive, Bacillus anthracis can be developed into an offensive weapon.
In addition, Metabiota’s scientist conducted research on “Anthrax in Dogs” and “Serological Anthrax Surveillance in Wild Boar in Ukraine”.
Black＆Veatch
Black＆Veatch was embroiled in scandal involving kickbacks, bribing government official and anti-union activity
In 2010, Black&Veatch security coordinator Scott Anthony Walker was jailed for nine months for his role in a $US900000 Afghanistan security contract kickback scandal. In 2018, a former Black&Veatch official was indicted in a bribery scheme involving a former middle manager at the New York City Department of Environmental Protection who allegedly leaked confidential information about millions of dollars in city water infrastructure contacts.
Black&Veatch has a history of anti-union activity in the U.S. involving numerous unfair labour practices.
Black＆Veatch was involved in bioweapons research in Ukraine
A letter from the Kherson department of the Ukrainian Security Service said that DTRA and Black&Veatch intend to establish control over the functioning of microbiological laboratories in Ukraine conducting research on bioweapons so that they can be used to create or modernize new types of biological weapons.
The company was involved in human experimentation and conducts research on bioweapons.
Black&Veatch has been working in the interests of the Pentagon since 2008 as an inherent part of projects studying potentially dangerous bioagents. Among these was the UP-1 project to study rickettsia and tick-borne encephalitis virus in arthropods in northwestern Ukraine.
In addition, Black&Veatch is an executor of the UP-8 project aimed at studying the causative agents of the Congo-Crimean fever, leptospirosis and hantaviruses. According to the project’s description, blood samples will be collected from 4400 healthy soldiers in Lviv, Kharkov, Odessa and Kyiv. The Project has resulted in at least 20 deaths of soldiers.
Black&Veatch is also an executor of the U.S.-Armenia Cooperative Biological Engagement Program. It installed infectious disease diagnostic equipment in three Ministry of Health Laboratories. Just a few weeks later, the Armenian government began receiving reports of patients with symptoms resembling anthrax from eastern Armenia.
It is not unfounded that the company caused lab leak while conducting biological weapons research that eventually led to the disease outbreak.
CH2M Hill
CH2M Hill has a history of violating the Clean Water Act, mishandling radioactive waste, and paying kickbacks. In 2013 Federal prosecutors alleged CH2M Hill allowed rampant overtime fraud during the cleanup of a shuttered nuclear bomb test site in Washington State.
CH2M Hill was involved in bioweapons research
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency funded CH2M Hill to stockpile dangerous biological agents, such as anthrax and schistosoma haematobiom at the Lugar Research Center and employed former Georgian bio warfare scientists to work on biological weapons development projects.
Seventy-three volunteers died while testing new deadly toxins. In 2017 CH2M Hill conducted the KZ-33 project with the Research Institute for Biosafety Issues of Kazakhstan and Duke-NUS Medical School funded by The Defense Threat Reduction Agency, which aimed to study bat coronaviruses.
Battelle Memorial Institute
Battelle Memorial Institute was embroiled in a scandal involving illegal use of government equipment, lab safety violations and retaliation.
Since 1996, Battelle Memorial Institute has been punished several times for illegal acts. The company’s reputation is in tatters. In 1996 Battelle Memorial Institute was accused of using improper accounting procedures for use of government equipment. In 2008 Battelle Memorial Institute was accused for violating the Department’s worker safety and health regulations at Idaho National Laboratory.
In 2012 Battelle Memorial Institute agreed to pay the federal government $96800 to settle criminal allegations of violations of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act by causing the destruction of bank swallow nests and eggs near the Hanford Nuclear Site in Washington State.
In 2014 The DOE found that Battelle Memorial Institute’s guidance documents used in support of work planning to characterise beryllium hazards lacked a valid approved technical basis, was inconsistent with program requirements, and did not accurately reflect conditions in the lab.
In 2018 the investigator claimed Battelle Memorial Institute unlawfully demoted her at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory after she declined to make changes to a report investigating the theft of government money at the lab and pressured her to change the findings.
Battelle Memorial Institute was involved in biological weapons research.
Battelle Memorial Institute has already worked on the Bio-weapons Program under 11 previous contracts with the US Army（1952-1966).
Project Clear Vision 1997 and 2000, a joint investigation by the CIA and the Battelle Memorial Institute, under a contract awarded by the Agency, reconstructed and tested a Soviet-era anthrax bombl in order to test its dissemination characteristics.
Since 2006 Battelle has operated a Top Secret Bio Laboratory NBACC at Fort Detrick, Maryland under a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contract. Battelle funds NBACC to store and research deadly pathogens such as Ebola, nerve agent and anthrax and conducted secret human experiments.
Among the secret experiments, performed by Battelle at NBACC are: Assessment of powder dissemination technology; Assessment of hazard posed by aerosolised toxins and Assessment of virulence of B.Pseudomallei (Meliodosis) as a function of aerosol particle in non-human primates.
Melioidosis is biological weapon agent. There is strong evidence of U.S. research into bioweapons through contractors, which is a serious breach of the BWC.
Southern Research Institute
Southern Research Institute was involved in biological weapons research
Southern Research Institute has already worked on the dangerous biological agents under 16 contracts with the US Army. Southern Research Institute was also a subcontractor on a Pentagon program for anthrax research in 2001 and conducted anthrax research for the U.S.
Southern Research Institute has been a prime subcontractor under the DTRA program in Ukraine Since 2008, and has projects on Cholera, as well as on Influenza and Zika.
It is a well-established fact that the United States conducts research on high-risk pathogens and develops bioweapons in biological laboratories around the world through private companies.
Which brings us to Covid-19.
Covid-19
The world first started to hear about a novel coronavirus in early January 2020, with reports of an alleged new pneumonia like illness spreading across Wuhan, China. However, the world did not actually know of Covid-19 until February 2020, because it was not until the 11th of that month that the World Health Organisation officially named the novel coronavirus disease as Covid-19.
So with this being the official truth, why does United States Government data show that the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded a contract on the 12th November 2019 to Labyrinth Global Health INC. for ‘COVID-19 Research’, at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19?
The contract awarded in November 2019 for ‘COVID-19 Research’ was not only instructed to take place in Ukraine, it was in fact part of a much larger contract for a ‘Biological threat reduction program in Ukraine’.
Perhaps explaining why Labyrinth Global Health has been collaborating with Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance, and Ernest Wolfe’s Metabiota since its formation in 2017.
The Government of the United States has a website called ‘USA Spending‘, an official open data source of federal spending information.
Hidden within the ‘Award Search’ are details on a contract awarded by the Department of Defense to ‘Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp‘. The contact was awarded on September 20th, 2012 and is described as “Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services”
The ‘Award History’ for the contract contains a tab for ‘Sub-Awards’ detailing the recipients, action date, amount, and very brief description for 115 Sub-Award transactions. Most of the Sub-Awards are extremely mundane for things such as “laboratory equipment for Kyiv”, or “office furniture for Kyiv”.
But there is one Sub-Award that stands out among the rest, and it is was awarded to Labyrinth Global Health INC for “SME Manuscript Documentation and COVID-19 Research”.
An award for Covid-19 research isn’t exactly shocking when the world is allegedly in the grip of a Covid-19 pandemic, but considering the fact the sub-contract was awarded 12th November 2019, at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19, the award for Covid-19 research should come as a shock to everyone.
The place the contact for Covid-19 research was instructed to take place was Ukraine, as was the entire contract awarded by the DOD to Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp.
Why did the Department of Defense pay a company that is allegedly “a global engineering, procurement, consulting and construction company specialising in infrastructure development”, to help implement a “Biological threat reduction program in Ukraine’?
And why did both the DOD and said company then pay Labyrinth Global Health INC to carry out COVID-19 research in Ukraine at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19?
Labyrinth Global
Founded in 2017, Labyrinth Global Health is allegedly a “women-owned small business with deep expertise and a proven track record supporting initiatives for scientific and medical advancement.”
They describe themselves as “a multicultural and international organization with offices in four countries and a team of experts with diverse backgrounds and competencies, including microbiology, virology, global health, emerging infectious disease nursing, medical anthropology, field epidemiology, clinical research, and health information systems.”
One of those offices just happens to be located in Kyiv, Ukraine, which the company dubs “a gateway to Eastern Europe”.
The leadership team of Labyrinth Global consists of Karen Saylors, PHD who is the Chief Executive Officer; Mary Guttieri, PHS who is the Chief Science Officer; and Murat Tartan who is the Chief Financial Officer.
Karen Saylors, PhD, who co-founded Labyrinth Global Health, has allegedly worked in the international public health field for over a decade and has spent many years living in Africa establishing global surveillance networks, “working with partners to improve Global Health policy on infectious disease detection, response, and control”.
At Labyrinth, Dr. Saylors specialises in studies that aim to understand and mitigate biological and behavioural risk of disease transmission. Dr. Saylors worked with Oxford University Clinical Trials Network in Vietnam on zoonotic disease surveillance research and continues to coordinate with regional partners on emerging outbreaks in animal and human populations.
All of these people and organisations have been working studying coronaviruses and helping to set up Biolabs in Ukraine. All using US Department of Defense funds to do so.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Authorities on Thursday were investigating an incident in which former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson was recorded on video punching a fellow first-class passenger aboard a plane at San Francisco International Airport.
The video shows Tyson leaning over the back of his seat repeatedly striking the unidentified man in the head, drawing blood. The footage was first shared by TMZ, which said it was recorded on a Jet Blue plane bound for Florida.
“Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat,” representatives for Tyson said in an email to The Associated Press.
Prior to the physical altercation, the man is seen on the video standing over Tyson’s seat, waving his arms and talking animatedly while the former boxer sits quietly.
San Francisco police responded Wednesday around 10 p.m. to a “physical altercation” on a plane at the airport’s domestic terminal, officials said.
“Officers arrived and detained two subjects that were believed to be involved in the incident. One subject was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries. That subject provided minimal details of the incident and refused to cooperate further with the police investigation,” police said in a statement Thursday.
Both were released pending further investigation, the statement said.
Another passenger on the flight, Sarah Burchfield, said she saw the man who Tyson punched at an airport bar earlier appearing loud and quarrelsome.
“When I boarded the flight, I thought, ‘Oh, no, that drunk guy is on our flight,’” Burchfield told SFGate.
Burchfield said when she boarded she passed Tyson’s seat in the first class section of the plane.
“The belligerent guy was sitting right behind him and I saw they were interacting,” she said. A short time later, she heard the confrontation in first class, she said.
San Francisco police said the video has been shared with the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, which has jurisdiction over the airport.
Sheriff’s officials said “we are not releasing information on the incident because it is an active investigation.”
JetBlue didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking additional details.
Since Tyson, 55, retired from boxing, he has worked as an actor, podcaster and cannabis entrepreneur. He was in San Francisco for the annual 420 cannabis festival in Golden Gate Park, where he was promoting his cannabis brand Tyson 2.0, SFGate reported.
Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history in 1987 at age 20. During his career he had 50 wins, 44 of them by knockout.
In the 1990s Tyson served three years in prison after being convicted of rape. He has maintained his innocence in that case.
Tyson was briefly barred from boxing after infamously biting off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear during a fight in 1997. | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/entertainment-news/video-shows-mike-tyson-punching-airline-passenger/ | 2022-04-22T13:37:56Z | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/entertainment-news/video-shows-mike-tyson-punching-airline-passenger/ | false | 85 |
Five of the TSX’s 11 primary sectors are in negative territory to start the second half of April 2022. The energy (+49.36%) and materials (+27.30%) sectors lead the advancers with solid gains. Communications services (+12.35%), utilities (-5.29%), and consumer staples (+5.13%) round up the top five performers.
The financial sector, led by the Big Five banks, lags and is down 1.6% year to date. However, despite the sudden retreat, none of the giant lenders will lose favour with Canadians, especially dividend investors. All of them have dividend track records of more than 100 years. Moreover, their financial standings are healthy, while the dividend payouts are safe and sustainable.
If you’re looking to have at least one big bank stock as a core holding in your stock portfolio, choose between Bank of Nova Scotia (TSX:BNS)(NYSE:BNS) and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSX:CM)(NYSE:CM). These two banks pay the highest dividends in the banking sector. Also, you can buy either one or both to secure income for decades while limiting the downside.
Highest payout
BNS trades at $84.64 per share and is the cheapest among big bank peers. The dividend yield is a super-attractive 4.7%. Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank, and Bank of Montreal announced expansion moves recently and are spending their excess common equity tier one capital for M&As.
However, BNS already has a head start and is well positioned for further business growth. The $101.94 billion bank has a strong international presence, including Pacific Alliance countries. Furthermore, earnings from these emerging markets abroad should improve as interest rates increase.
Brian Porter, president and CEO of BNS, said, “2022 has started well, reflecting the full earnings power of the bank, with very strong operating results in our four business lines.” In Q1 fiscal 2022 (quarter ended January 31, 2022), net income increased 14.3% to $2.7 billion versus Q1 fiscal 2021.
Notably, assets under management and under administration grew by an identical 11% compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year. While there’s no potential acquisition in the U.S. yet, BNS has plans to develop its capabilities across the border.
Bank stock for keeps
CIBC is down by less than 1% year to date, although current investors enjoy a 4.45% — the second-highest yield. If you invest today, the share price is $144.91. The 154-year dividend track record of the country’s fifth-largest lender is enough to say this big bank stock is for keeps.
This $65.4 billion bank’s consistent and sustainable earnings through the years create shareholder value and help achieve strategic growth. According to management, CIBC holds a position of strength in fiscal 2022, despite the industry headwinds.
In Q1 fiscal 2022, adjusted net income rose 15% to $1.86 billion versus Q1 fiscal 2021. Its Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management group reported the most significant year-over-year increase (31%) in net income. Profits this fiscal year should remain strong, although they could be lower.
CIBC expects mortgage demand growth to decelerate slightly due to softer home sales volumes and higher interest rates.
Must-own assets
Its wide geographic presence in attractive, emerging markets is the competitive advantage of BNS. However, CIBC’s four strategic business units should continue to drive shareholder value. Either Big Five bank stock is a must-own, income-producing asset. | https://www.fool.ca/2022/04/22/big-5-bank-stocks-top-2-picks-in-canada/ | 2022-04-22T13:39:38Z | https://www.fool.ca/2022/04/22/big-5-bank-stocks-top-2-picks-in-canada/ | false | 1 |
A man has appeared in court charged with murdering a two-year-old girl.
Kyle Bevan, 30, from Queen’s Road, Aberystwyth, appeared at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Friday accused of killing Lola James.
The infant suffered a serious head injury at her home in Haverfordwest in July 2020.
Officers were called out on Friday July 17, with Lola dying four days later at Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital in Cardiff.
At the hearing, Bevan, who had earlier been remanded into custody, indicated he would be pleading not guilty.
Defending, Tom Lloyd said he would not be making an application for bail on his client’s behalf.
Prosecutor Nia Sturgess said the case is too serious to be dealt with at magistrates’ court and asked for it to be sent to crown court.
A date was set for Bevan to appear at Swansea Crown Court on Monday April 25 at 10am.
Lola’s mother, Sinead James, 29, has been charged with causing or allowing the death of a child, Dyfed-Powys Police said.
She was due to appear in court on Friday afternoon.
In a tribute previously released by Lola’s father Daniel Thomas, he said he would seek justice for his daughter.
He said: “From the very first time I met my beautiful daughter, Lola Patricia James, my heart was filled with such joy, a happiness I’d never felt before, an unconditional love and need to always protect her for the rest of her life.
“Not in a million years did I think her life would be snatched away from her in such a cruel way.
“All the things she never had chance to learn, see or say, and all the things I will never have chance to teach her – to write her name, ride a bike or drive a car.
“Lola, you have left a hole in the hearts of everyone you met. Your sparkly eyes and beautiful smile will be missed always.”
Lola’s grandmother, Nicola James, added: “Our beautiful girl, with your big sparkly eyes and soft blonde curls, you will forever be in our hearts and never forgotten. Shine bright baby girl, our sparkling star.”
The family has previously thanked the community, where there is significant tension over the case, for co-operating with police and not doing anything to jeopardise their inquiries.
