Difference between revisions of "Tatelicious"
Revision as of 05:01, 22 April 2022
Tatenda Zenzo Karigambe popularly known as Tatelicious or Queen Tatelicious is a Zimbabwean transgender woman based in Sweden.
Background
Tatelicious grew up in Harare's Budiriro.[1]
Marriage & Divorce
Tatelicious was married to a Swedish man Richard Sandberg in Sweden on the 9th of December 2017.[2] In August 2018, she announced that she and her husband had reached an amicable decision to divorce. Tatelicious wrote:
"It’s always good when people divorce in a friendly respectful way.
Richard and I have decided to go our separate ways because we have realised that its time to move on to our next chapters of life.
We inspired a lot of people to believe in love and we still encourage everyone to still believe in love.
Our time is up and we believe in keeping it real and it is time where we both have to move on and find new people to fall in love with.
We are not people who wanna fake a lot of years of marriage when we know that there is no longer that spark which attracted us in the first place.
We are still best friends and we just wanted you our people to know that it is ok to move on and find someone new.
We had our best moments here on Facebook and we kindly ask family and friends to accept and respect what we have decided to do with our lives."

Education
Tatelicious was expelled from the Harare Institute of Technology after having been caught on camera stealing. She was doing Chemical Engineering and allegedly left school during the first semester because she were failing badly and came back in 2013 as a new student and before the end of the semester Tatelicious had left again.[1]
Events
Rape Allegations
In October 2020, a Gambian publication alleged that Tatelicious drugged and raped a Gambian national in Sweden. According to the publication, the alleged victim was one Sulayman Ceesay.
In a video, Tatelicious denied the report saying that relations with Sulayman were fully consensual. She added that Sulayman proposed marriage so that he could get some papers allowing him to stay in Sweden.
"Sulayman you should tell people the truth what is happening in Sweden. Sulayman came to me wanting to marry me for papers. Sulayman has been rejected in Sweden more than six times and is on the verge of being deported back to Gambia."
Eviction From Saltvik Mansion
In March 2022, she was evicted from a mansion in Saltvik which she lost in legal proceedings. Tatelicious' husband Richard Sandberg had given her the mansion but had stopped paying the mortgage to the bank because they are no longer together.
She said that she had repeatedly asked Richard, to let her take over the loan so she could pay it off herself and continue to live in the house, but he had refused, simply because he wanted to see her suffer.[5] Tatelicious' claims that her former husband wanted to see her suffer contradicted her claims that their split was amicable and that they were still best friends.[3]
She said she slept at the train station. Olinda Chapel and Tinashe Mutarisi came through for Tatelicious and sent her money. [6]

Which tankless water heater is best?
Everyone can appreciate a long, hot shower, but the electric bill can be a bitter pill to swallow. Water heating with a traditional tank heater makes up an estimated 18% of your total energy use, but there is a way to cut that bill and still enjoy a luxurious shower or bath: adding a tankless water heater. The best tankless water heater is an estimated 34% more efficient than the old tank style.
The Stiebel Eltron Tempra 29 Plus Tankless Water Heater is a premium option that provides seemingly endless hot water, even in cooler climates.
What to know before you buy a tankless water heater
Flow rate
Before you buy a tankless water heater, consider how many people or appliances use hot water in your home. Measured in gallons per minute, this number is located on showerheads and other water-using appliances. Select a tankless water heater that can accommodate the most common situations in your house (e.g., two people showering at once, running the dishwasher and doing laundry, etc).
Temperature of incoming water
To select the appropriate tankless water heater, you’ll need to figure out the temperature of the groundwater entering your home and the target temperature created by the tank. Most groundwater hovers somewhere around 50 degrees, but extremes at either the hot or cold end can change that considerably.
The flow you get from your fixtures will vary depending on how much you’ll need to raise the temperature of the water coming through the tank. If your water is cold and you want your temperature hot, not only will the flow be reduced, but you’ll also use more power to get there.
Whole-house heaters vs. point-of-use heaters
Tankless water heaters are available in whole-house or point-of-use models. Whole-house heaters do exactly what it says — they provide hot water to the entire structure from one heater. These are best for sending hot water to more than one appliance at a time, but they can be very expensive (and much larger).
Point-of-use heaters are more compact and designed for use on one specific appliance (often a shower). They are installed close to their intended fixture and can supply nearly instant hot water. Many people use these for tiny houses, outdoor showers and RVs.
What to look for in a quality tankless water heater
Recirculation
With recirculation, cold water loops from the hot water line back into the heater using a pump to push it through a return line. This means hot water is available nearly instantly, which reduces water waste.
Digital temperature display
No one wants to step into a freezing shower, and a digital temperature display helps prevent that. This easy-to-read number tells you when your water is ready to go.
Memory settings
This set-it-and-forget-it feature allows you to program settings for things like washing clothes and dishes or taking a shower. It takes the guesswork out of deciding when the water is hot enough by remembering (and returning to) specific temperature settings.
Easy temperature adjustment
From a simple temperature knob to digital controls with up and down arrows, look for something that has easy temperature adjustment. You should not need an advanced degree to dial it in every time.
Simple installation
Some tankless water heaters are as simple as connecting a few hoses, plugging them in and turning on the water. If the one you select is a little more complicated, make sure the installation instructions are clear and easy to follow (or you can find a professional to do it for you).
How much you can expect to spend on a tankless water heater
Depending on the size and type, expect to spend $400-$2,000.
Tankless water heater FAQ
When do you choose an outdoor water heater vs. an indoor water heater?
A. Indoor water heaters are protected from the elements, but they have a few distinct disadvantages. They require venting drains to remove condensation that can damage your home if left standing. They also need ventilation for airflow.
Outdoor water heaters do not need these vents, and they are purpose-built to hold up to the weather. You do need to drain them when not in use, as a freeze-thaw cycle can cause pipes to burst (which results in leaks). If you are adding to an existing home, an outdoor water heater is much easier and does not require new pipes.
Do you need electricity for a tankless water heater?
A. No. Tankless water heaters can also be powered by natural gas and propane.

The former Cricket Australia chairman Alan Crompton has died.
- Country:
- Australia
The former Cricket Australia chairman Alan Crompton has died. As per ESPNCricinfo, the former Cricket Australia chairman and long-time Alan Crompton has passed away at the age of 81.
Crompton served as the chairman of Cricket Australia (formerly Australian Cricket Board) from 1992 to 1995. Crompton had attained the position after a long stint in Sydney grade cricket and then a decade-long stint in cricket administration. He also served as chairman of Cricket New South Wales and as a delegate to CA before rising to the chairmanship. As a board member, he was also a team manager for Australia Test teams on three overseas tours. He was honoured with the Order of Australia medal for his services to cricket and also a life membership of Cricket NSW and Sydney University cricket club.
Current CA chairman Lachlan Henderson paid a tribute to Crompton. "Everyone at Cricket Australia who worked with Alan and all those who have benefitted from his service to cricket will be deeply saddened by his passing," Henderson said. "The energy, enthusiasm and expertise Alan brought to cricket in New South Wales and Australia for more than 60 years was remarkable and he leaves an outstanding legacy at all levels of the game. Our thoughts and sympathy are with Alan's wife Gabby, his family and all those across the cricket world fortunate to have experienced his friendship and guidance," said Henderson in a statement.

Redwood trees show signs of recovery after devastating 2020 fire
BOULDER CREEK, Calif. (KGO) - Thousands of acres of redwood trees in California’s Santa Cruz mountains are showing signs of life again.
It’s a sign of hope after the devastating 2020 CZU fire, which closed Big Basin Redwoods State Park. The fire raced across 97% of the 18,000 acres that make up the park.
It killed Douglas firs, live oaks and madrones, and charred the stately old-growth redwoods.
However, nearly two years later, nature is showing signs of resiliency.
Even after losing most of their leaves, the redwoods are growing a new canopy overhead. And down by their roots, they’re sending out new growth.
“They send out all of these new saplings along a trunk, so they stump sprout. Then these little guys will keep growing, competing with one another,” Laura McLendon said. “One or more may make it.”
McLendon is director of Sempervirens Fund, a land trust that partners with California state parks.
Inside Big Basin, they have planted thousands of redwood saplings in the hardest-hit zones.
But nature is hard at work, too.
“We’re going to continue to see many of these little saplings and shrubs get bigger, and you know, in as little as 20 years, most people won’t even be able to tell there was a catastrophic fire here,” McLendon said.
The famous auto tree, where visitors used to bring their vehicles and have a picture taken, looks dead. However, it is alive and a great example of how resilient redwood trees are.
Big Basin has gone from lush green to black and white after the fire. But it’s showing signs of a comeback.
Sempervirens Fund was also able to purchase this year 153 adjacent acres at the entrance to the park.
No announcement has been made about reopening Big Basin as work continues to fell trees that pose a safety risk. Support structures, fences and other facilities still need to be replaced.
Birds and some wildlife have returned home already. Yet the risk of future wildfires remains a threat.
If the forest is under too much stress, it could impede the regeneration process.
For now, nature, with a little help from humans, is moving forward.

LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) – Seeff Vintage Photos and legendary photographer Norman Seeff presents the “Fifty Years in ‘Exile'” exhibition featuring rare vintage photographs from his 1972 session “Exile on Main St.” with the legendary rock band, The Rolling Stones.
Legendary photographer Norman Seeff is set to unveil rare and unseen vintage photographs from his 1972 session with the Rolling Stones, staged before the release of the group’s, Exile on Main St. The exhibition opens Saturday, May 14. It will run through Sunday, June 12, at the Rock Photography Museum Special Exhibition Space in Glendale, CA.
Along with over 30 vintage 16×20 photographs, the show will feature the original layout used to produce a set of postcards included with the album’s original pressing. The one-of-a-kind layout, discovered during the pandemic in a box of discarded materials by Mary Ann Mattiello, Owner and Managing Director of Norman Seeff Photographic Archives, was inscribed by Mick Jagger with the group’s name and album title. Jagger’s handwriting was later used to complete the Exile album cover.
The shoot took place at a studio in Los Angeles on a custom-built set designed to achieve Jagger’s vision of the group descending the ramp of a ship, “defecting” from the U.K. to France. The Stones famously had to flee England the previous year to avoid a massive tax bill that would have bankrupted them.
“So after working for eight years, I discovered at the end that nobody had ever paid my taxes, and I owed a fortune,” said Jagger in an interview with NME around the time of Exile’s release. “So then you have to leave the country. So I said f*ck it and left the country.” The group relocated to the French Riviera and recorded Exile in the basement of Keith Richards’ rented flat.
Seeff’s photoshoot, while chaotic – Bill Wyman was a no-show and had to be “played” by one of Seeff’s assistants – was a turning point in his career. Shortly after, Seeff left his position as an art director at United Artists Records and opened his own studio, where he went on to create images of legendary artists such as Ray Charles, Joni Mitchell, John Belushi, Tina Turner, Steve Martin, Carly Simon, and Frank Zappa to name only a few.
Tickets for the opening night artist reception on May 14 are now available for $25, with proceeds from ticket sales going to Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. Tickets for regular gallery hours will be $10. | https://celebrityaccess.com/2022/04/22/seeff-vintage-photos-presents-the-rolling-stones-50-years-in-exile-exhibit-at-the-rock-photography-museum/ | 2022-04-22T13:56:22Z | https://celebrityaccess.com/2022/04/22/seeff-vintage-photos-presents-the-rolling-stones-50-years-in-exile-exhibit-at-the-rock-photography-museum/ | true | 1 |

Thomas Tuchel tells Chelsea not to get superstitious over home form troubles
Thomas Tuchel has told his Chelsea players not to let superstition cloud their bid to boost their ailing home form.
Chelsea slipped to a third-straight home defeat in all competitions for the first time since 1993 with Wednesday’s 4-2 Stamford Bridge loss to Arsenal.
The Blues have slumped to ninth in the home-form standings after seven wins, five draws and three league losses.
Chelsea remain on course for a third-place Premier League finish though, with Tuchel’s men second in the away-day rankings thanks to 11 wins, three draws and just two defeats on their travels.
The Blues host West Ham in another London derby on Sunday, with Tuchel admitting a fragility in his side’s home performances – but also warning against an overreaction.
Asked if now is the time to restore Stamford Bridge’s fortress factor, Tuchel replied: “Obviously, I didn’t know those numbers but it’s obvious that we are behind and that’s very unusual, and it’s very unusual also for me in my experience not only here but over the last years.
“It’s unusual and I don’t know what it is, if it was just the one thing, we would switch dressing rooms or take another hotel or something like this. But that would may be more superstition than anything else.
“I have no solution but it’s also not the level that we want to produce in home games. It’s a bit fragile at the moment I have to say, it was against Brentford and against Real Madrid.
“It was straight away better in the next three games. And then we had a good start to the Arsenal match actually; I was very happy with the energy and the quality.
“But then you have the feeling of ‘oh no, not again’, and once you have this feeling it’s hard to get rid of it.
“Sometimes it’s not even a problem tactically or of shape, or sometimes it’s due to pure quality that you have to accept sometimes from the opponent.
“But it can be very hard to separate, whether this was our mistake, was it not enough or was it simply very difficult to defend this chance. And it can happen that a feeling creeps in that you don’t want to have.
“Normally you want to feel in a home game that you can feel still capable of coming back no matter what happens. But now it’s a bit different but very hard to argue, because it seems obvious we’ve had a row of three home games with very similar results that we absolutely don’t like.
“And it’s now the job to convince the players to keep on going, the supporters to keep on pushing and to hang in positive, because we have a lot to build on, we have a lot to rely on and also to trust.
“So don’t get superstitious now, and don’t believe in things that maybe are not there. But it is another challenge on top of the others.”
Mateo Kovacic will miss Sunday’s clash with ankle ligament trouble, with Toni Rudiger also ruled out through a groin issue.
Eddie Nketiah’s double, a neat Emile Smith Rowe finish and a late Bukayo Saka penalty undid Chelsea against the Gunners in midweek.
Timo Werner and Cesar Azpilicueta were on target as Chelsea twice equalised in the first half, but Andreas Christensen’s under-hit back-pass to gift Nketiah the opener lingered long after the game had finished.
Tuchel criticised the state of the Stamford Bridge pitch straight after the Arsenal loss, and on Friday admitted Chelsea are still looking into the standard of their home surface.
Asked for the specific issue with the pitch, Tuchel replied: “I don’t know, I’m not a specialist on it and we’re looking into highest level in every department and I know everybody is trying hard.
“I said it because the first goal was from Andreas but it was because of a funny bounce of the ball and we had more of them in the game.
“It was awkward to play and calculate the speed and bounce of the ball. So it’s like this, that was it, but I know everybody’s working hard in every department to provide the best level. And so we try and keep on going.
“We were struggling a bit with the timing of the renewal (of the turf) this season, then this leads to a bit of the problem. The pitch wasn’t where it should and could be at the beginning of the season.
“We felt it and saw it at away matches. This was a funny bounce given to the quality of the pitch at this moment, and it cost us.” | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10743529/Thomas-Tuchel-tells-Chelsea-not-superstitious-home-form-troubles.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-22T13:56:44Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10743529/Thomas-Tuchel-tells-Chelsea-not-superstitious-home-form-troubles.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 11 |

It’s looking like it could be a volatile end to the week of shares of Snap (
NYSE: SNAP), the social media giant. They reported their Q1 earnings after yesterday’s bell and the numbers were well off the mark. Non-GAAP EPS was in the red at -$0.02, when a minor profit had been expected by Wall Street. While revenue was up 37% compared to the same quarter last year, it was also below what analysts
had been expecting.
Shares swung back and forth in Thursday’s after-hours session as investors got to grips with the numbers, but for the most part it has to be said they were disappointed. While user growth was relatively strong, with daily active users jumping 18%, it did break a streak of five straight quarters of more than 20% growth. CEO Evan Spiegel struck an optimistic tone and told investors with the report that despite the apparent slowdown, the business still had “
underlying momentum in a challenging operating environment. He added “we remain focused on providing value for our growing community, delivering ROI for our advertising partners, and investing against our enormous opportunity in augmented reality."
Short Term Headwinds
By way of explaining the softer than expected numbers, Spiegel pointed to the war in Ukraine, noting that the company “could expect additional campaign pauses or advertiser budget reductions. A large number of advertisers paused their ad campaigns in the days following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in late February - and while the majority of advertisers resumed their campaigns, many remained concerned about inflation and continuing geopolitical risk”.
In addition, comparing current performance to the same quarter of 2021 is a tough ask for most companies at the moment, as the geo and macro landscape has changed so much. Higher inflation readings, increasing interest rates, and disrupted supply chains make for a tough background against the seemingly endless optimism and appetite for risk that dominated markets for much of last year.
Looking ahead, the company is forecasting a return to 20% plus user growth, and is aiming to land somewhere between 20% and 25% in Q2. The stock finished down nearly 5% on Thursday and was flat in Friday’s pre-market session. It will be interesting to see what way it will go into the weekend, with shares already close to their lowest levels since 2020. The previous earnings report in February had resulted in a 20% gap down at the next open, so investors will be hoping to avoid a similar fate today.
The more bullish investor will point to the 37% revenue growth and jump in user numbers, which in the face of Netflix’s (NASDAQ: NFLX) subscriber contraction this week look a lot more attractive. It would have been nice if the company had managed to turn a profit this quarter as it could have set the scene for a solid recovery story going into the summer.
Considering The Opportunity
Snap shares are currently down more than 65% from last year’s all time high, and it will be all investors can do to stop shares breaking below the $28 line which they’ve managed to just barely hold this year. It would be some fall from grace if that is actually given up and Snap would risk being counted among the likes of Peloton (NASDAQ: PTON), Zoom Video (NASDAQ: ZM) and DocuSign (NASDAQ: DOCU) as just another high flying tech stock that couldn’t do it when it counted.
For what it’s worth though, it was only last month that Baird were out with a Buy rating on Snap stock. Analyst Mark Zgutowicz gave them a fresh $50 price target on the basis that Snap is "best positioned to capture incremental digital advertising market share in coming years." Shares are down close to 30% since then, and that price target currently implies there’s
upside to be had in the region of 65%. Depending on how investors react to what could just be a temporary slowdown in growth last quarter, there could be an argument for dipping the toe in. Let’s see if the line of support can hold first, and go from there.

A Dunnellon Town Hall meeting brought awareness to opioid deaths in Marion County
To keep up with the latest local news subscribe to our TV20 newsletter HERE and receive news straight to your email every morning.
DUNNELLON, Fla. (WCJB) - According to the CDC opioid abuse has caused the death of more than 75,000 people in the U.S. alone.
“Teenage overdoses have gone up about 80% in the last couple of years,” said clinical social worker Carali Mclean.
At the Boys & Girls Club in Dunnellon, they talked about how to prevent this in our youth.
“The access to opioids and the fentanyl that is so lethal,” said Mclean.
Different speakers said the drug that kids use the most is marijuana, but nowadays it’s being laced with fentanyl. There are different objects like a watch or book that kids have to hide their drugs.
Tammy Steadman the club director said this topic hits close to home.
“I personally know individuals who are allergic to cannabis, they say you can’t be allergic to it but psychosis is a very serious thing.”
In a recent case in Marion County, an elementary school teacher was arrested for bringing ecstasy and trying to hide it in the bathroom.
“It’s global and it’s a local problem I think the good news is that there is treatment available that we know will help to overcome the addiction.”
Another town hall opioid awareness meeting will be held at the Silver Springs Shores Boys & Girls Club on May 11.
The DEA is having Nation Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on April 30th where you can dispose of your medications at the Ocala Police Department.

Raiders Punter A.J. Cole Talks His Journey to the NFL
Over the past few seasons, the Raiders have had a number of players put themselves on the map as some of the NFL's best at their respective positions.
One of those names that may not pop up as often is that of Las Vegas punter A.J. Cole.
Cole's dominant 2021 season placed him in the discussion as one of the league's best special-teams performers after he led the league in yards per punt (50.0).
Such an accomplishment was one of the reasons the punter would be selected to his first Pro Bowl and named as a 2021 first-team All-Pro honoree.
Cole has risen to the top in just three seasons in the NFL, but it wasn't long ago that the young punter was trying out at a minicamp for an opportunity to accomplish his dream of making it to the league.
It was a dream he said he had not "felt was attainable" when he discussed his draft story with Raiders.com.
"I didn't really get recruited to play college football until late in high school," Cole said. "It really was something that I wouldn't say I put all my eggs in that basket, I took college pretty seriously, majored in engineering and really just planned on playing football for four years and then going and getting a job and just kind of ended up putting myself in a position where I had an opportunity."
Cole was a four-year starting punter at North Carolina State.

"I would say it was sometime during my junior year, like maybe summer going into junior year, I kicked with a couple of people that were getting NFL interest and were some of the better punters in college football, and I felt like I stacked up pretty decently with them," Cole said. "And moving forward from there, I sort of felt like it became attainable at some point, and then, going through my senior year, I was kicking with anybody I could get really around to compete and to stack myself up, see what I needed to improve on.
"Sometime around then, I really kind of had a realization that if things kind of broke the right way for me, I could do it."
Cole would go undrafted in 2019 but felt a sense of security, as he had a position waiting for him at IBM.
"But then I got the call from the Raiders to come into rookie minicamp, and I was like, 'All right, three-day tryout, one opportunity to make it shake,'" he said. "So I went from being disappointed to being really optimistic and just saying, 'This might be the last time I ever play football,' so I was just going to go out there and have as much fun, soak it all in, enjoy it as much as possible."
The rest would be history.

For the first time in a very long time, there has been a PS5 restock every day this week. And for the second time ever, we know there will be a Saturday restock from GameStop. According to The Shortcut's Matt Swider the next big PS5 restock at GameStop is reportedly coming on Saturday, April 23, when stores open. As is almost always the case, GameStop will be selling console bundles with accessories and gift cards for this PS5 restock, so be prepared to spend more than the standard $500 price tag. The best way to know for sure whether your store is getting a PS5 restock on Saturday is to call them today and (politely) ask the folks there. You'll know how many consoles there are, which will help determine how long you're going to need to camp outside in the morning.
There may also be a surprise PS5 restock this afternoon from Walmart, which has not offered consoles for a little bit, but that's unconfirmed as of right now. If you don't want to pay for a bundle to get your PS5, your best bet is accepting a higher price tag for the console through StockX or eBay. Here are some of our tips, tricks and advice to help you snag your PS5:
- If you see someone offering to sell you a console on Twitter, it's almost certainly a scam. Avoid these people.
- Where applicable, use an app to complete a purchase instead of a browser. Not only are apps frequently faster than mobile browsers, but also it's easy to use an app and a browser at the same time if you're trying to buy on multiple computers.
- PS5 restocks are a lot more common in the afternoon and evening than in the morning. Chances of an unplanned restock tend to go up dramatically after 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET), so if you're wondering when to check, that's usually the best time to start.
- PS5 restocks almost never happen on weekends.
- If a restock starts and you immediately see "Out of Stock" on the screen, do not give up. Refresh the screen a few times and keep trying. Some retailers release the consoles in waves to keep bots from getting all of them.
- Have an account set up and logged in for any retailers you'll be shopping on. Speaking from personal experience, it's devastating to get a console in your cart and then miss out because you had to waste precious seconds entering your payment and shipping info.
Over the last period, the biggest retailers have made changes to the checkout process to offer peace of mind and to keep bots from buying all the consoles and selling them for more elsewhere. The most recent change in the PS5 restock game has been paid access -- that means once you buy a subscription, you'll hear about the next PS5 restock either earlier than anyone else or exclusively for your club.
Our best tips to get a console
With this new subscription system rolling out across GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart and even Amazon in some cases, it's important to point out that getting a console through these services is still not guaranteed. The queue fills up fast, and consoles stay in stock for only a few minutes in most cases. Every time a PS5 restock happens, social media fills with people describing how they experienced glitches in the process and how the consoles ended up being gone entirely.
It's unreasonable to sign up and pay for every service, but that's where we can help. We're constantly tracking the best way for you to get your hands on a PS5. And we'll explain below what you can do to increase your odds before the buy button lights up.
Why is the PS5 so tough to find?
There are three big reasons why you're still struggling to get a PS5. The first is the most obvious: The system is really popular. Sony says the PS5 is its best-selling console and has already sold more than 13 million units since launch.
The second reason is the current chip shortage impacting most of the world's electronics. Sony did say it has secured enough chips to meet its goal of 14.8 million consoles for the fiscal year.
As for the last reason, it comes down to bots. Resellers are using software to purchase a massive number of PS5s at once, leaving only a few for actual humans to buy. Retailers added various bot protections during PS5 restocks, but these restrictions only hamper resellers so much.
Where has the PS5 been available recently?
We keep track of every PS5 restock and maintain this list here of the most likely places you'll find them, and when the PS5 was last available there.
Which early-access service should I pay for?
Lots of companies now limit access to a PS5 to a subscription, but each one is a little different. Here's the full breakdown of how each one works.
- Amazon Prime: This one is pretty straightforward. In many cases the only way to buy a PS5 from Amazon is by being a Prime subscriber or by signing up for the Treasure Truck text service. There's no extra fee outside of the standard Prime subscription, but you likely can't access the PS5 restock unless you're subscribed.
- GameStop PowerUp Rewards Pro: Many PS5 restocks from GameStop start an hour earlier for you if you have signed up for this rewards program. This works best when GameStop announces the restock ahead of time or emails its subscribers to let them know a restock is coming. This subscription service costs $15 per year, and includes a ton of extra perks.
- Walmart Plus: This service was built by Walmart just to offer early access during sales events, and that includes a PS5 restock. The rules for this early access vary; in some cases PS5 restocks can be entirely limited to subscribers or it can be an early-access window of 1 to 4 hours before the general population has access. Walmart charges $13 per month or $98 per year for this service. There's a 15-day free trial currently available if you're not sure it's for you, but you only get early access if you pay for that first month.
- Best Buy Totaltech: If you want special access to the Geek Squad for installations and tech support, as well as extensions on warranty purchases, this is the service for you. If you just want this for early access to a PS5 restock, Best Buy is asking you to pay $200 per year and that is a lot. Best Buy does occasionally limit access to a PS5 restock to only Totaltech subscribers, but most of the time those restocks are made available to the public later.
For the moment, the service that seems most useful to most people is Walmart Plus. There are more restocks at Walmart than most other places right now, and that subscription can increase your odds of getting a console dramatically. You're still going to have to be quick and accept that you may not get the console on the first try.
How do I increase my chances of getting a PS5?
Major retailers like Walmart, GameStop, Amazon, Target and Best Buy don't usually give much notice ahead of a restock. Sometimes they'll have a restock in the morning, other times in the afternoon and, in some cases, even in the middle of the night. Here are some tips to help you get the jump on the competition.
First tip: Don't wait until you see an alert for a PS5 inventory drop. Check the links at major retailers for stock updates daily or even multiple times a day. (We've got the links all lined up below.) If you do happen upon some PS5 availability, go all-in with as many browsers and devices as possible. On a desktop, for example, open the retailer's page in Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Then do the same on your phone and tablet. The more devices and browsers, the better. It's like with lottery tickets: The more you have, the better your chances of winning.
Second tip: Create accounts at the different retailers and make sure you're already logged in if you're going to try to get a PS5. Make sure all your shipping, bill and payment info is updated on whatever device you can buy from, whether it's a laptop, desktop or phone. This makes checking out a lot faster, which is crucial as retailers' sites get quickly bogged down, leading to people losing their chance of securing a PS5.
Third tip: Keep checking back with this post and follow CNET and Oscar Gonzalez on Twitter for updates.
Where is it safe to buy a PS5 if I'm OK with paying extra?
If you're starting to crack and considering buying a PS5 right now (and we know that with the number of big PS5 games dropping over the next few months, the pressure is on), you can do so, but at the cost of a hefty markup on sites like eBay or StockX. On eBay, for example, we've seen PS5 units priced over $1,000, although prices have slowly made their way down to approximately $700.
Where to buy a PS5
Currently one of the best places to get a PS5, but be aware that the company frequently makes the consoles available to Walmart Plus subscribers first.
Restocks happen fast at GameStop, and if you're a PowerUp Rewards Pro subscriber you can occasionally get access to the console an hour before everyone else.
You can find a PS5 restock at Best Buy more often than most places, though it occasionally requires a Totaltech subscription if you want to get in on one early.
You will usually find the standard edition is available more often than the digital edition at Target, but it's a solid place to check for stock.
You're usually required to have a Prime membership to get access to a PS5 restock from Amazon, but not always. And if you sign up for the Treasure Truck program, you'll get a text when a PS5 is available for delivery.
If you want to buy a console directly from Sony, click this link and register to be put in the waiting queue. When you get an email inviting you to buy the console, it's a fairly low-stress checkout followed by a one- or two-day wait for shipping.
PS5 restocks don't happen at Newegg that frequently, but they do happen and it's a great idea to check here because a lot of other people don't think to do so.
You won't be paying the standard price for your PS5 if you buy it from here (meaning you'll be paying much more), but you will certainly get it without much fighting to check out.
When all else fails, if you absolutely must have the console right now regardless of price, the folks at StockX will at the very least protect you from being scammed by someone who never intended to give you a console.

System operator, IESO co-funds $4.8M commercialization project with BluWave-ai and Hydro Ottawa to pioneer the product ahead of EV proliferation
OTTAWA, ON, April 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - BluWave-ai announces its BluWave-ai EV Everywhere SaaS product along with a $4.8M project with initial lead customer Hydro Ottawa, co-funded by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) and supported by the Ontario Energy Board. The product will be deployed and pioneered with Hydro Ottawa. This product will present a solution to the worldwide challenge for distribution utilities to efficiently manage the increased energy demand to customers' homes for charging electric vehicles. BluWave-ai EV Everywhere is coming at a critical time for energy infrastructure, as the accelerating adoption of electric vehicles, both across Ontario and the world, is displacing gasoline powered cars with cost-effective and cleaner electric vehicles.
BluWave-ai EV Everywhere predicts, detects, optimizes, and controls EV charging to stabilize grid operations, providing real-time congestion management in utilities' distribution networks. Using BluWave-ai EV Everywhere will offset major capital upgrades for the grid, such as transformer and cable upgrades, to support more electric vehicles. This translates into cost savings for the utilities which benefits all consumers, not only those who own EVs. EV owners participating with utilities using BluWave-ai EV Everywhere will be able to save money on their energy bills to reliably charge their vehicles. This will benefit distribution utilities, consumers and system operators not just in Ontario, but anywhere in the world.
BluWave-ai EV Everywhere provides utilities improved customer engagement through participation in opt-in managed charging and real-time alerts to inform consumers of the best time to charge. This also provides utilities opportunities to generate revenue through EV charging participation programs, while providing EV owners savings on their energy costs. BluWave-ai EV Everywhere allows for the integration of in-front-of-the-meter energy storage and behind-the-meter solar, storage and electric heating as distributed energy resources in addition to residential EV charging. BluWave-ai EV Everywhere provides a non-wires alternative solution mitigating peak loads as more energy moves to power cars through the grid.
For transmission system operators, BluWave-ai EV Everywhere aggregates regional distributed energy resources and manages EV charging for demand response to support the system. Matching aggregated vehicle charging demand to fluctuating renewable energy allows for more onboarding of wind and solar energy in electricity grids internationally to enable decarbonization.
"Hydro Ottawa has been working on studies to determine the impact of EVs and their potential to fundamentally transform our infrastructure and the electricity grid as a whole in the short-term and long-term," said Guillaume Paradis, Chief Electricity Distribution Officer of Operations at Hydro Ottawa. "With BluWave-ai EV Everywhere technology, we will be in a position to more accurately predict EV loads, plan capacity upgrades across our community, and strengthen our system to meet the energy needs of our customers. Through the right partnerships today, Hydro Ottawa will be more than prepared for a seamless EV transition tomorrow."
"With the accelerating adoption of EVs in neighborhoods, distribution utilities in Ontario are faced with the challenge to support the increased demand from EV chargers in customers' homes and businesses," said Devashish Paul, CEO of BluWave-ai, "BluWave-ai EV Everywhere eases the transition to high EV penetration. Building on BluWave-ai's distributed artificial intelligence (AI) SaaS platform, BluWave-ai EV Everywhere uses real-time network data to predict demand considering forecasted consumer loads and behind-the-meter renewable generation. Integrated with utility systems, BluWave-ai EV Everywhere provides optimal dispatch for intelligent scheduling of EV charging and available battery energy storage. We are excited to collaborate with IESO and Hydro Ottawa to deliver this working system in the Ontario grid."
"The IESO forecasts that electricity demand from the electrification of transportation, which includes EVs, will increase 20 per cent annually," says Lesley Gallinger, President and CEO of the IESO. "Innovative technologies, like AI, are unlocking the potential for consumers to exert greater control over how they use electricity. By continuing to fund local projects through our Grid Innovation Fund, we are finding new ways to harness the potential of residential EV batteries, and change the way we think about our electricity grid."
"We are pleased that the OEB Innovation Sandbox has enabled this project to advance," says Susanna Zagar, CEO of the OEB. "By working together, we can really move the needle on the energy transition. This kind of work provides insight into emerging challenges in a rapidly changing sector – and supports solutions that can tackle those challenges."
BluWave-ai EV Everywhere is available bundled with the BluWave-ai Edge and BluWave-ai Center products to interested utilities and system operators who want to prepare for the market penetration of a large number of EVs.

Pune: In a major update regarding the continuing power crisis and ongoing load-shedding in large parts of the state, the Maharashtra government plans to import coal and acquire a coal-mine from Chhattisgarh for power generation, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar was quoted as saying by news agency IANS on Friday. Talking to mediapersons, he said coal is not being supplied in the country as per demand, forcing the state government to consider alternatives to bridge the gap of around 3,500 MW-4,000 MW shortfall between the demand-supply currently.Also Read - After Delhi And UP, Mask Mandate Likely to Return in Maharashtra As COVID Cases Rise; Final Decision Today
“A meeting to discuss the issue of load-shedding was held with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. We will take a review of the power department every week on the load-shedding,” Pawar said. Last week, the state Cabinet authorised the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co Ltd to purchase power from elsewhere to tide over the current crisis. Pawar reiterated that insufficient coal is being supplied to various states by the Centre, and even Maharashtra is not getting the required quantities, though all efforts are being made to ensure smooth power supply and end the ongoing power-cuts.

“Accordingly, the state has decided to make some imports from outside the country and also get a coal mine allocated to the Maharashtra State Power Generation Company in Chhattisgarh, for which Energy Minister Dr Nitin Raut is working,” he said. Last week, Raut had slammed the Centre for the poor management of coal supplies despite a sharp increase in electricity demand due to the summer heat and relaxation of Covid-19 curbs all over.

Maharashtra power crisis: 5 more points to know for this big story
- The Maha Vikas Aghadi government has assured that efforts are underway to normalise power supply and ease load-shedding as early as possible in the state.
- The MEDCL has been permitted to procure electricity for a short period till June 15 until the power generation and power availability situation in the state can be restored.
- According to officials, MSEDCL distributes 87 per cent of the total electricity consumption in the state, and the usage of power by the agricultural consumers has also increased since March 2022.
- Due to hot summer, the highest demand of the state has reached 28,489 MW. This is an increase of 8.2 per cent over the previous year, but coal shortages have hampered efforts to boost the power generation.
- Given this year’s shortfall of around 3,500MW-4,000MW, it has resulted in several hours of blackouts both during day and night in large parts of the state, though Mumbai has been spared.

With the increased number of people coming into the JobNet Career Center in Madisonville, the city has teamed up with multiple partners to bring them a potential second chance. The “Wipe Your Record Clean” expungement event will take place next Thursday, at the Ballard Convention Center in Madisonville. The event will run from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
According to Molly Deahl, Business Liaison for the West Kentucky Workforce Board, there have been a large increase in individuals with criminal backgrounds who are looking for expungement information, or employers who are willing to give them a chance at work.
“These people are excited and willing to do whatever it takes to get back into the workforce, but only need an opportunity to showcase their talents. We are excited to offer this free event to folks in our community and surrounding counties. Everyone is welcome,” Deahl said.
General information regarding expungement will be provided, in addition to background checks being offered on-site. Attorneys will also be present to talk to individuals about their case or the expungement process. It is important to note that in order to get an expungement in a different county, an individual will need to file in that specific county. However, the information we will have at the event on the expungement process will be the same process for every Kentucky county.
Partners who came together to put on this event include: Kentucky Department of Corrections, Western Kentucky Reentry Council, Commonwealth of Kentucky Court of Justice, Hopkins County Bar Association, Hopkins County Attorney’s Office-Child Support Unit, Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office- 4th Judicial Circuit, Kentucky Legal Aid, Madisonville-Hopkins County Economic Development Corporation, and West Kentucky Workforce Board.

April 22 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell for a
third straight session on Friday, was set to log a more than 1%
fall for the week, weighed down by weakness in commodity-linked
stocks and consumer firms.
At 9:40 a.m. ET (1340 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's
S&P/TSX composite index was down 65.58 points, or
0.3%, at 21,584.83.
In the prior session, the index recorded its worst decline
since Jan. 21 on fears of aggressive tightening by global
central banks.
U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said on Thursday
that a half-point interest rate increase would be "on the table"
when the Fed meets in May.
"Coming in this morning, I think a lot of people are trying
to figure out what happened yesterday and just follow through to
that selling area today," said Gregory Taylor, portfolio manager
at Purpose Investments.
"Most people aren't going to make many big bets into the
weekend and there is probably going be more cautious trading."
For the week, the benchmark index shed 1.4% and was headed
for its fourth consecutive weekly losses and worst weekly
performance since February.
The consumer discretionary sector was among the biggest
decliners on the Toronto market, down 1.1%.
Meanwhile, the materials sector lost 0.3% as gold
prices fell as the prospect of aggressive interest rate hikes
denting zero-yielding bullion's appeal.
The energy sector fell 0.1%, as oil slipped on the
prospect of weaker global growth hurting demand.
On the economic front, data showed Canadian retail sales
edged up 0.1% in February from January at C$59.90 billion
($47.28 billion). Sales were expected to grow 1.4% in March,
Statistics Canada said.
Producer prices in Canada rose by a record 4.0% in March
from February, on higher prices for energy and petroleum
products, the largest monthly gain since the series began in
January 1956.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — President Joe Biden announced that Title 42 will end at the end of May, but now there’s pushback from both Republicans and Democrats to have a better plan in place before that policy is lifted.
On both sides of the aisle, lawmakers are questioning how the immigration system will handle the end of Title 42 as more migrants than ever try to come to the United States.
In the past month, U.S. border arrests hit a two-decade high. Approximately 210,000 migrants were arrested while attempting to cross the border in March. That's the highest monthly total since February 2000.
Border Patrol agents and advocacy groups helping migrant families are preparing for what the potential change in policy could mean for national security.
“People figure that right now is the time to cross,” said Jon Anfinsen president of the National Border Patrol Council in the Del Rio, Texas sector. “We used to have weeks where maybe a thousand arrests in one week was sort of a fairly busy week, but now we're getting 10,000 in a week.”
For the last two years, millions of people have been turned around at the border because of Title 42.
“Title 42 is meant to be a temporary response to the COVID pandemic,” said Sara Ramey, an immigration attorney at the Migrant Center for Human Rights in San Antonio.
Former President Donald Trump enacted Title 42 in 2020. The policy was originally created in 1944 and allows U.S. Border Patrol agents to “prohibit" the introduction of migrants and asylum seekers into the United States when “there is serious danger of the introduction of disease into the United States.”
Immigrants from certain places like Central America and Haiti, where COVID-19 infections were high, were not processed for asylum. They were released from Border Patrol custody and left to wait with nowhere to go.
“We just basically have been expelling people, regardless of whether they've already been vaccinated, have tested negative, and, you know, otherwise are not in any way, shape or form a threat to public safety,” said Ramey.
This record wave of immigration is exhausting resources at the border.
“Border Patrol agents in Del Rio sector and across the country are completely overwhelmed. We're burned out. And there's really no end in sight,” said Anfinsen, who has been an agent for his entire career.
When Title 42 is lifted, Anfinsen expects more people to show up.
“So, you figure 10,000 people coming through here in a week? We now have to find space at least while we're processing them, for all of them. And that's the that's going to be one of the biggest challenges because not only is that difficult logistically, but it's difficult for the immigrants themselves, especially when they have kids,” said Anfinsen.
Ramey said Title 42 needs to end so everyone has a chance to claim asylum. Logistically, she knows that will be tough.
“Every case and every person deserves to be listened to. I think that's the biggest fear, is that we just don't have enough people to process the cases,” said Ramey.
She said she is worried if people can’t be processed and have to keep waiting along the border, national security is at risk, but not because of the migrants themselves.
“Title 42 has strengthened the cartels,” said Ramey. “It's basically turned people over to the cartels operating on the Mexican side of the border, and I think that when it ends, it's going to be a big blow to the finances of the cartels. I think they will be scrambling to find other ways of getting money.”
Anfinsen says if agents are overwhelmed processing cases without more resources, security at the border will suffer.
“We’re terrified of what we're not catching,” said Anfinsen. “National security is going to be affected. There's just no way around it.”
Both Anfinsen and Ramey agree that if more agents and staffing can’t get to the border quickly, the end of Title 42 could mean the start of a whole new set of challenges. | https://www.wxyz.com/news/national-politics/the-race/what-does-title-42-ending-mean-for-those-working-along-the-border | 2022-04-22T14:40:43Z | https://www.wxyz.com/news/national-politics/the-race/what-does-title-42-ending-mean-for-those-working-along-the-border | true | 20 |

Students and teachers who live with people who have COVID-19 but test negative will be able to attend class next term, as long as they tell the school they are a household contact and take rapid antigen tests.
High school students and teachers will have to wear masks for five school days if they are close contacts, and primary students will be strongly encouraged to wear them too. The changes reflect the decision to lift rules requiring close contacts in the wider community to isolate.
The NSW Department of Education will begin handing out more rapid antigen tests to students when classes resume after school holidays on Wednesday. Students and teachers must take the tests for five school days if they are a household contact.
The relaxation of household contact rules bring schools the closest they have been in two years to pre-pandemic settings.
In term 2, the department will continue to apply temporary restrictions such as mandatory masks, not holding large indoor gatherings and separating cohorts if there is an outbreak of COVID-19 at an individual school.
“School is where our students learn best and we need to do everything we can to make sure that face-to-face learning continues with minimal disruption as we move into the colder months,” Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said.
“The removal of isolation requirements for household contacts will support continuity of teaching and learning in schools.”
The decision comes after a difficult first term for schools, with high numbers of students absent and principals struggling to cover classes because teachers were off due to illness or isolation requirements.
Some schools sent entire cohorts home or closed completely because they did not have enough staff to operate. Teachers were exempt from household contact rules, but the NSW Department of Education did not enforce the exemption.
In the public system, qualified teachers working in head office were recalled to the classroom. Some 450 retired teachers came back, 350 corporate staff did casual work, and more than 2000 final year teaching students were granted interim approval to teach.
Primary teacher Katrina Colless was among them. She moved from the classroom last year to the department’s evidence unit, the Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation, but was called upon to help at Sydney Children’s Hospital school in term 1.
“I got a call from the COVID support team, it was a Thursday night at 7pm, they said can you please help out at the Children’s Hospital School, it’s staying open by a thread and we really need you,” she said.
She worked there for a week, and enjoyed the return to the so-called chalkface.
“I loved it, it was fantastic. It was really rewarding.”
Schools will continue to call on the back-up workforce. “The Department is taking extra steps to ensure accredited teachers are available to cover sick leave where needed, with non-school based teachers, retired teachers and final year teacher education students continuing to be deployed into classrooms as needed,” Mitchell said.
“Recruitment of teaching staff into non-school based roles will be paused and work will be taken off schools’ plates so they can focus on core teaching and learning.”
Schools are still waiting for more information on how the department will respond to a government decision to lift public health orders mandating vaccinations for teachers, with many sacked teachers hoping to be reinstated.

There's reason to believe we're currently in a tech stock correction. The S&P 500 Index is up roughly 5% over the past year, as of this writing. By contrast, the tech-heavier Nasdaq Composite Index is down 6% over this time. Moreover, while the S&P 500 is down 8% year to date, the information technology sector of the S&P 500 is down far more -- almost 16% so far in 2022. From these stats (and others not mentioned here), we see that tech stocks are underperforming other sectors of the market.
To be clear, even with the recent underperformance in tech stocks, I personally see relatively few bargains. But there are a few stocks in my portfolio that I've happily bought more of as their prices have come down, namely Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ: UPST), Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB), and PubMatic (NASDAQ: PUBM). Here's why.
Upstart: A wider moat than you'd think
Typically, I wouldn't build a position in a company like Upstart. I tend to build larger positions in more established companies, and Upstart is still in the early stages of its journey. It's only 10 years old, having been incorporated in 2012. And it went public only in late 2020.
Upstart partners with banks and credit unions and uses artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to determine a consumer's creditworthiness, doing away with the need for the credit score. It's had great success to date -- full-year 2021 revenue increased an astounding 264% year over year to $849 million.
However, the credit market is cyclical and has generally only trended upward since Upstart's founding. An economic recession could trigger a decline in the credit market and also put pressure on consumers with high debt levels. How would Upstart's business perform during that stage of the credit cycle? The simple answer is that we don't know because Upstart's never been in that situation. In other words, its business model hasn't been thoroughly tested in all economic situations -- reason for concern.
That said, Upstart's "moat" (competitive advantage) is wider than you'd think for a company so young. It ended 2021 with 42 bank and credit union partners, and it's added at least two more partners in 2022 so far. These partners originated over 1.3 million loans in 2021. This means that Upstart's AI, while it still has to prove itself over time, has ample data to pull from to improve any deficiencies with its algorithm. And it's more data than most banks could compile on their own, making Upstart's software valuable.
Upstart's business is weighted heavily toward personal loans. But it's quickly expanding into auto loans and someday hopes to be a software tool for mortgages as well. In short, results have been promising to date, its competitive advantage is strong, and its future opportunity is massive. For these reasons, I've eagerly dollar-cost averaged my position in Upstart so far in 2022.
Airbnb: I'm sleeping soundly for the next decade
Like Upstart in the lending industry, Airbnb is chasing a multitrillion-dollar travel industry opportunity. However, I would rank Upstart's potential upside above that of Airbnb for a simple reason. Right now, Upstart has a market capitalization of just $7.4 billion compared with a market cap of $109 billion for Airbnb. If it's this big already, I readily question just how much bigger Airbnb could be in 10 years.
Airbnb's ceiling may not be as high as that of smaller companies like Upstart. But it more than makes up for this with its floor, in my opinion. Few companies are as sure as Airbnb, and this reality helps me not fret about my position. In a decade, I'm confident the stock will be higher.
Airbnb has two powerful things going for it right now. First, the company ended 2021 with a record number of spaces listed on its platform. Management prioritized this supply growth by overhauling the host onboarding process and by running an ad campaign aimed at hosts. Now, keep in mind that an increase in supply can be bad if it's not met with consumer demand. The law of supply and demand says prices go down if supply growth outpaces demand growth.
However, this isn't what's happening. The second thing in Airbnb's favor right now is that its average daily rates (ADR) are within 4% of their all-time high. In the fourth quarter of 2021, ADR was $154 per night, compared to $161 per night in the second quarter, when ADR was at its all-time high. However, Q4 ADR was up 20% from the comparable quarter of 2020, which suggests Airbnb is in for a bumper 2022. In short, consumer demand for Airbnb's spaces is outpacing growth in supply.
The growth in demand for Airbnb's platform is a trend that I don't see abating in the next decade. And as the company captures this opportunity, I expect my shares to increase in value.
PubMatic: A top small-cap opportunity
If you're looking for a small-cap company that's founder led, growing fast, profitable, with a strong balance sheet, and winning in an important growth industry, then PubMatic is the stock for you.
Consider that connected TV (CTV) is a hot growth industry because consumers are ditching traditional TV service providers. And digital advertising is simultaneously displacing traditional advertising. Here are some stats: According to eMarketer, in 2021, programmatic digital ad spend soared 41% year over year to $106 billion. The Interactive Advertising Bureau says one of the fastest-growing channels for digital ads was digital video, increasing nearly 51% from 2020 to $39.5 billion. And GroupM predicts CTV ad revenue will nearly double from 2021 through 2026.
Programmatic advertising on digital video and CTV platforms is clearly a hot industry, and it's entirely inside PubMatic's wheelhouse. And this little $1.3 billion company appears to be winning this big space. For example, consider that PubMatic ended the first quarter of 2021 with 80 CTV publisher customers (as a sell-side platform, it partners with publishers, not advertisers). Just nine months later, it had 167 -- more than doubling this part of its customer base in under one year.
More importantly, PubMatic's customers are spending more -- a lot more -- over time. In 2021, the company's net dollar-based retention rate was 149%. In other words, if you were a PubMatic customer who spent $1 in 2020, you spent $1.49 in 2021. Few companies see customer spending grow this fast, clearly suggesting PubMatic is earning their business.
Perhaps PubMatic's special sauce is that it has three co-founders who are still with the company -- a rarity. And these co-founders own a lot of PubMatic stock, aligning their financial interests with yours and mine. Specifically, CEO Rajeev Goel owned 4.9 million shares directly and indirectly at the end of 2021, which was 8.7% of the fully diluted share count.
This undoubtedly gives PubMatic's management an ownership mentality, and maybe this is why the company errs on the side of financial conservatism. The company has almost $160 million in cash, equivalents, and marketable securities and zero debt. This balance sheet, coupled with a 25% net profit margin in 2021, means it's highly unlikely PubMatic will find itself in a financial pinch anytime soon, no matter what the economy throws at it.
With so much going for it, it shouldn't be surprising that I recently doubled my position in PubMatic stock.
Approach corrections the correct way
If you're looking for the smoothest ride possible in the stock market, buy an index fund. This vehicle is less prone to volatility. But if you're seeking the market-beating upside potential of individual stocks, corrections are beautiful opportunities. You'll often find great companies selling at a far greater discount than you would get with an index fund.
That's what I believe is going on with Upstart, Airbnb, and PubMatic. These stocks are down 78%, 22%, and 63% from their respective all-time highs -- a far greater sell-off than the market average. This is to my advantage as I try to buy stocks in great companies at good values. Embracing this short-term volatility is how I leverage corrections to my long-term advantage.

KALAMAZOO, MI — Due to a positive COVID case in Herbie Hancock’s touring party, the jazz legend will no longer be performing at the 2022 Gilmore Piano Festival.
Hancock had been scheduled to kick off the festival with a performance on Sunday, April 24 at Miller Auditorium, located on Western Michigan University’s campus.
That performance has been postponed to Sept. 23, a news release from the festival stated Friday morning.
“Hancock wishes everyone a wonderful and safe 2022 Gilmore Piano Festival, and looks forward to performing this fall. Ticketholders will be contacted with instructions on exchanges and returns,” festival organizers said in a statement.
The three-week festival, which officially kicks off Sunday, April 24, is traditionally held every two years, but due to the coronavirus pandemic was put on hold in 2020 just weeks before it was scheduled to begin. The 2022 festival runs through May 15.
Offering a diverse and lengthy selection of musical performances and family-friendly entertainment, the festival, which is based primarily in Kalamazoo, is far more than simply classical piano performances, Gilmore marketing director Mindy MacInnis pointed out in a recent interview with MLive.

DURHAM, N.C., April 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Calcite Carbon Removal emerged from stealth mode today as one of fifteen winners of Elon Musk's XPrize for Carbon Removal, with its innovative approach to direct air capture receiving an initial $1 million dollar award.
8 Rivers Capital invented Calcite in 2019 and has been quietly advancing the technology in its labs and in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with further funding from the US Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) FLECCS program. Calcite's process captures CO2 directly from air and sequesters it underground, aiming to support the world's climate targets by removing over a billion of tons of CO2 for less than $100 per ton of CO2.
The Calcite process passes ordinary air with approximately ≈415 PPM CO2 across calcium hydroxide in a large warehouse, absorbing CO2 from the air into calcium carbonate crystals, similar to how concrete sidewalks dry and absorb carbon in the process. Warehouse fans then return to the atmosphere CO2-depleted air with <315 PPM CO2. The calcium carbonate that's created is cycled into a kiln to regenerate calcium hydroxide and capture CO2. The CO2 is then injected underground for permanent storage, while the calcium is recycled to absorb more CO2 from the air. The innovative Calcite process enables rapid carbon uptake at large scale and low cost, through the use of simple equipment, abundant feedstocks, and optimized chemistry.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's latest assessment report found that, while the bulk of the energy transition will occur through emissions reduction, in order to achieve net zero emissions and hold warming below 2.0C, removing carbon from the atmosphere is "unavoidable." Removals are needed to counterbalance residual emissions from hard-to-abate sectors. The IPCC estimates that all carbon removal technologies, including direct air capture will need to contribute an absolute minimum of net 40Gt of CO2 captured by the year 2100.
"We can think of no better way to launch Calcite than with the support of the Carbon Removal XPrize," said Adam Goff, SVP of Strategy at 8 Rivers Capital. "We're excited to use the XPrize as an accelerant to build our first Calcite plant and hope to announce its location later this year. This first facility would capture thousands of tons of carbon and progress the technology towards removing a billion tons of carbon from the earth's atmosphere."
"Scalable, economic direct air capture is vital to help achieve our collective Net Zero goals, and 8 Rivers is tremendously excited to introduce Calcite today," said Cam Hosie, 8 Rivers CEO. "Calcite uses simple chemistry in an innovative design using a common commodity that is available at tremendous scale, meaning that Calcite is positioned to be a vital contributor to the carbon removal toolkit."
8 Rivers is a world-leading developer of innovative decarbonization technologies. Before inventing Calcite, 8 Rivers invented the 8RH2 clean hydrogen technology and the paradigm-changing Allam-Fetvedt Cycle power generation system. 8 Rivers is developing marquee zero-emissions projects in the United Kingdom and the United States, with a strong pipeline of global prospects.
Calcite Carbon Removal is named for the carbon-trapping calcium carbonate crystal called calcite. 8 Rivers will now focus on designing, building, and operating a Calcite facility by 2025, which would position Calcite to rapidly scale-up to the full-scale units necessary to remove a billion tons of carbon.
ABOUT 8 RIVERS CAPITAL, LLC: 8 Rivers Capital, LLC is a Durham, NC-based firm founded in 2008 which is leading the invention and commercialization of sustainable, infrastructure-scale technologies as the premier net zero solutions company for industrial decarbonization. 8 Rivers is developing and deploying technologies for clean hydrogen and ammonia (8RH2), transformative zero-emissions power cycles (NET Power and the Allam-Fetvedt Cycle) direct air capture (Calcite), retrofit carbon capture (Carbon8), sour gas sweetening (TarT), clean ethylene (Codox), and other advanced clean energy systems. www.8Rivers.com/calcite.

- 12% of Dreame's Annual Revenue Was Invested on R&D of Sustainability Innovation
BEIJING, April 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dreame Technology, a global leading company in smart home cleaning appliances, is ramping up its focus on green tech to help bring about a sustainable cleaning experience for its global users. Currently, the company invests 12% of annual revenue in R&D, helping drive the launch of several intelligent, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly vacuum products in 2021. Their features include automatic dust identification, self-cleaning, and battery replacement, which have been eagerly embraced by users.
The products include the Dreame T30 Cordless Stick Vacuum, which is able to intelligently select the right suction level in order to save energy. It does so by detecting dust and choosing the suction level accordingly in Auto mode, realizing more effective cleaning and longer runtime. Moreover, the T30 boasts a lithium-ion polymer battery that provides highly efficient energy and strong heat dissipation to empower the motor with constant power. The detachable battery also helps extend the vacuum's life cycle and reduce hazardous battery waste. One charge is enough to power 90 minutes of cleaning in Eco Mode, 35 minutes in Standard Mode, and 7.5 minutes in Turbo Mode.
Another popular product is the Dreame Bot W10, which boasts an automatic mop cleaning and drying system. First, the mop is sprayed with water and spun rapidly to dislodge dirt. A nozzle deposits the dirty water into a wastewater tank, with the cleaning tray detachable for easy disposal. Then, the mop is hot air dried to ensure that it is fresh, clean, and free of mold and unpleasant odors. This is done at low noise to avoid any disturbance.
Another feature of the W10 is its increased cleaning efficiency. The 2-in-1 mop and vacuum design enables more detailed vacuuming and more thorough mopping thanks to a wide rolling brush that covers a larger surface area with every single sweep. In fact, it can clean spaces of up to 3,229 square feet with one single charge. Moreover, its strong suction power empowers more effective cleaning, while its floor-facing design means that it easily wipes up stubborn stains.
Innovation is key to bringing consumers new, effective, and environmentally friendly features. With its intensive R&D process, Dreame has spearheaded a series of inventions and registered 248 patents in the areas of high-speed motors, monocular machine vision, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and multi-cone cyclone separation. Today, the company is a global leader in terms of the patents it holds across many of these areas.
"Innovation will be a key word for us over the next five years," said Hao Yu, founder and CEO of Dreame Technology. "We are focusing on channeling even greater efforts and time into uncovering consumer insights, which will help guide us on our innovation journey and ensure that we develop products that meet user needs. It is part of our overarching commitment to deliver the most powerful products to our users around the world, so that everyone can enjoy an easier, more convenient cleaning experience."
Moving forward, Dreame will continue to amplify its focus on R&D, manufacturing, packaging, and after-sales services to enable a comprehensive, sustainable experience for users. With its R&D prowess, the company has already unleashed new breakthroughs in intelligent cleaning technology; Dreame's innovation pipeline will welcome even more incredible features in the future.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) aims to give another surprise and this time in the Punjab Assembly as it attempts to expedite the process of de-seating through the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) of its 26 MPAs who went against the party line by voting for Hamza Shehbaz Sharif.
Speaker Punjab Assembly Chaudhry Pervez Elahi sent references against the defectors, which have been received by the ECP. Efforts are afoot to press on the ECP to de-seat those 26 provincial lawmakers not later than April 28 when the session of the assembly has been called. In case they are de-seated, new elections for the chief minister would have to be called in.
In that case no one would be having simple majority of 186 in the 371-strong Punjab Assembly, so the new elections would have to be called for.This move has sparked panic among the defectors as their future is at stake. Different legal courses of action are under consideration to deal with this impending crisis. One of them, for example, is to challenge this move in the Lahore High Court on the grounds that the due process has not been followed, like the reply from the MPAs served with show cause.
It also remains to be decided whether Pervez Elahi could send the references to the ECP or not. According to the relevant clause of the Constitution, the presiding officer can submit the references and in the case under question, the deputy speaker held this position on the day the voting occurred and defection took place as defined in the Constitution of Pakistan.
Procedure of disqualification through defection has been explained in Article 63-A of the Constitution of Pakistan. It reads: “If a member of a parliamentary party composed of a single political party in a House (a) resigns from membership of his political party or join another [one]; or (b) votes or abstains from voting in the House contrary to any direction issued by the parliamentary to which he belongs, in relation to – (i) election of the Prime Minister of the Chief Minister; or (ii) a vote of confidence or a vote of no-confidence; or (iii) a money bill or a Constitution (Amendment) Bill; he may be declared in from membership of his political party or join another [one]; or (b) votes or abstains from voting in the House contrary to any direction issued by the parliamentary to which he belongs, in relation to – (i) election of the Prime Minister of the Chief Minister; or (ii) a vote of confidence or a vote of no-confidence; or (iii) a money bill or a Constitution (Amendment) Bill; he may be declared in writing by the party head to have defected from the political party and the party head may forward a copy of the deceleration to the presiding officer and the chief election commissioner and shall similarly forward a copy thereof to the member concerned; provided that before making the declaration, the party head shall provide such member with an opportunity to show cause as to why such declaration may not be made against him.”

Former British boxer Ricky Hatton is to come out of retirement and return to the ring in his hometown of Manchester on July 2nd. Hatton, who has since become a boxing promoter and trainer, will take on Marco Antonio Barrera in an exhibition fight at the AO Arena.
The event currently features an undercard of Dan Hardy vs. Diego Sanchez, and Casey Walsh vs. Strapzy, with musical guest performances from Tion Wayne and Bad Boy Chiller Crew. The bout will be the first time Hatton has fought since losing to Vyacheslav Senchenko in 2012, although given its nature as an exhibition fight, it will not be taken as seriously as a professional contest.
Further details of the fight rules are yet to be announced, but it has been confirmed that it will last for eight-rounds. Here is all the information we know at the moment:

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro issued a pardon Thursday night for a recently convicted ally, setting off backlash from adversaries claiming the president is overstepping his constitutional bounds and once again undermining the Supreme Court.
Brazil’s Supreme Court on Wednesday convicted lawmaker Daniel Silveira by 10 votes to 1 for inciting physical attacks on the court’s justices as well as other authorities. He was also stripped of his seat in Congress and barred from running for any office in October’s elections.
Bolsonaro said during a live broadcast his decision “is necessary for the nation to walk on the paths determined by the constitution.” “Freedom of speech is an essential foundation of our society,” the Brazilian president said. Later, his decree insisted Silveira was convicted unduly.
Supporters of the president have repeatedly asked him to defend Silveira from what they see as political persecution.
The president has had a fractious relationship with the top court's justices since he took office in January 2019. More recently, he has targeted those who also lead the country’s top electoral authority, claiming without any evidence that the Brazilian electronic voting system could be rigged.
Bolsonaro is trailing former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in early polls, and many politicians and analysts see his confrontations with the court and electoral authorities as indicative he may not concede the election if he loses.
“Bolsonaro has just transformed the institution of pardons into an institutional disgrace,” Ciro Gomes, who has polled third below 10%, said on Twitter. “He is trying to accelerate in his march toward a coup. But he will not be successful.”
Gomes and other politicians promised to take Bolsonaro’s decree to the Supreme Court, arguing the president cannot make such decision based on personal interests. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Brazil-s-Bolsonaro-pardons-lawmaker-convicted-at-17119395.php | 2022-04-22T15:02:46Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Brazil-s-Bolsonaro-pardons-lawmaker-convicted-at-17119395.php | true | 31 |

Kieftenbeld starts: The predicted Millwall XI to face Birmingham on Saturday
With just three games remaining in the Championship season, Millwall are on the cusp of potentially getting to the play-offs of the second tier for the first time in 20 years.
Gary Rowett’s side sit just one point outside the top six in seventh position, although Middlesbrough right now hold all the aces in-behind them with a game in-hand which could see the Teessiders leapfrog them into the top six.
All the Lions can do though is keep on winning like they did on Easter Monday against Hull City, and next up for them is a trip to Birmingham City, who are in dire form right now and most recently were hammered 6-1 on the road by Blackpool.
Millwall quiz: Does The Den have a bigger or smaller capacity than these 20 stadiums?
How is Rowett going to line his side up though? Let’s take a look.
It’s likely that there won’t be many changes from the side that was successful over the Tigers, but Rowett could opt to go more solid in the midfield.
That could mean a return to the starting 11 for ex-Birmingham man Maikel Kieftenbeld – the Dutchman who spent six years at St. Andrew’s.
The 31-year-old dropped to the bench for Monday’s win in favour of George Saville but the two could swap yet again here.
It’s hard to argue with any unenforced changes to the rest of the team though, however Scott Malone will miss out through injury which means he will need to be replaced.
Murray Wallace will likely make a rare appearance at wing-back after being a regular as a left-sided centre-back this season, and that will allow Shaun Hutchinson to come back into the side.
Hutchinson was a regular before spending time out on the sidelines, but he came off the bench for his first minutes in nearly two months against Hull and could be set for a start.
The big miss for Millwall though will be Jed Wallace, who has a groin injury and won’t make it to the Midlands this weekend – his future continues to be speculated on with Besiktas said to be closing in on an agreement for his services. | https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/kieftenbeld-starts-the-predicted-millwall-xi-to-face-birmingham-on-saturday/ | 2022-04-22T15:03:21Z | https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/kieftenbeld-starts-the-predicted-millwall-xi-to-face-birmingham-on-saturday/ | true | 1 |

If you were on social media at all during the height of the pandemic when we were all home, scared, and with a lot of extra time on our hands, you were probably wading through the sourdough craze. Frickin’ everyone was baking, left and right. And suddenly, everyone in the whole world seemed like expert bakers. Everyone except me.
I stubbornly resisted the homemade bread wave, because I had zero interest in it (I did play a lot of video games). But long after the obsession faded, I decided this year that I would try baking my first loaf of bread, just to say I did it. I had already dedicated a lot of my career to the kitchen, so I figured I might as well finally tackle baking, you know? This wasn’t planned out for the sake of an article, either. I just wanted to give it at least one go.
An easy, go-to recipe for homemade bread
I started out with the easiest thing I could find: no-knead bread. This recipe, written by Jim Lahey and published by the New York Times, has long been lauded for its simplicity. There are only four ingredients: flour, water, salt, and yeast. You don’t need specialized equipment other than a Dutch oven—no electric mixers or anything. And there’s barely any technique involved, aside from mixing it and letting the dough sit overnight. You shape the loaf, dump it into a Dutch oven, and bake it off.
My first loaves came out slightly misshapen. They rose, but not like the stuff I’ve seen in bakeries. But the thing was, they were delicious. Crackly crust, fluffy insides. I was so proud. So I stuck to that recipe and cranked out a few loaves here and there whenever we needed bread. I’d brag about how good I got at it, even though there’s so little work involved that there’s nothing to brag about.
How to make sourdough
Now that I’d gotten accustomed to a little bread baking, I finally decided to tackle sourdough, which felt really daunting. I’d heard nightmarish stories about how challenging it could be, but I wanted to progress past my Lahey loaves.
There’s a head-spinning amount of resources online when it comes to bread baking, and I settled on King Arthur’s technique to make a sourdough starter, which nets you a batch of wild yeast that’s captured from the air around you. I eventually got a starter going, which took way longer than expected, around 10 days, but it happened.
I’d mentioned my bread baking curiosities to my former coworker, Travis, with whom I slung pizza for years. He’s humble about it, but he’s an extraordinary baker. The loaves he puts out seem effortlessly delicious, complex, chewy, and full of flavor. I can’t even begin to fathom what he knows, along with the instinct and intuition he’s honed over the years, but it all culminates in a final product that just seems so loved when it gets to your hands. I wasn’t planning on getting to that level, but I needed a little encouragement.
One day, when I was covering a Saturday shift at my former employer’s restaurant (someone needed the night off), Travis had brought me a bundle of goods to borrow. He lent me a banneton (proofing basket), a bread lame (razor for slashing dough), an oval Dutch oven for baking loaves in, and most importantly, Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson.
Travis told me that this was his favorite cookbook for bread, and so I tackled its most important recipe for what Robertson calls “Country Bread.” This is what the majority of the recipes are based on, in the book. It’s the only one I’ve needed.
At first it was absolutely daunting. There’s a lengthy introduction on the process of this sourdough recipe and how it came to be, but then Robertson breaks the process down into baby steps. And so I just went one foot ahead of the other, following the recipe bit by bit without looking too far ahead, because I’d get intimidated. Many hours later, I ended up with a delicious loaf of sourdough bread, and I was so proud of it.
The process, at its shortest, takes around eight hours, if you opt to bake off your loaf the same day, which is what I typically do. But thankfully, once you have it down, you barely do any active work, and there’s impressively little cleaning up to do aside from washing out some bowls and wiping down a table after shaping your dough.
Learning to bake bread is good for you
So here’s the thing: it’s now been months since I started. I’ve baked about a loaf every week and a half since I began, some of which are great, some of which are absolutely fucked-up disasters. I still get annoyed and furious at the process. It’s not always fun, at least not for me. But the loaves have all been edible and wildly better than what I buy from the store. The difference is almost unreal.
For the record, I haven’t learned much about the technical stuff; I don’t know a lot about hydration percentages or the different types of flour, and I can explain jack shit about gluten formation. All that stuff scared me, and I thought that was something I’d have to care deeply about along the way to great bread. But it’s not. It’s just me, a rock-solid recipe, attention to a few key details (there really aren’t that many), and most importantly, patience.
My life is really, really, busy these days. So busy that it drives me bonkers. Every time I finish up a personal project or a familial obligation, two more things spring up ahead of me. Most days and nights of the week are spoken for in advance. But now, when I want bread, I make sure to plan at least one day where I can slow down, get out of my head a little, and make a loaf.
No, you’re not getting an introspective, long-winded essay out of me about baking bread as some metaphor for something totally unrelated. What I’m saying is that I really think you should try baking a loaf a few times a year, even if you think you’re not going to be good at it. I’m certainly not. It’ll force you to slow down (hey, proofing takes a while), keep you in the moment as you’re measuring, mixing, stretching, and shaping, and in the end, you’ll have something pretty amazing to show for your time. That’s worth the effort, don’t you think? | https://thetakeout.com/why-making-homemade-sourdough-bread-is-good-for-you-1848823595 | 2022-04-22T15:04:08Z | https://thetakeout.com/why-making-homemade-sourdough-bread-is-good-for-you-1848823595 | false | 1 |
A 44-year-old La Crosse man is being held in the La Crosse County Jail on a $25,000 cash bond after allegedly injuring three people during an attempt to rob a couple of their jackpot winnings.
Samuel L. Thomas was charged Thursday in La Crosse County Circuit Court with two felony counts of armed robbery/use of force, three felony counts of substantial battery/intent to cause bodily harm and a misdemeanor count of obstructing an officer.
According to the criminal complaint, a husband and wife won a $4,300 jackpot drawing at Cheap Andy’s Bar in La Crosse on April 13. The couple reportedly was concerned about a robbery attempt and asked the bartender to put aside $4,000 in safekeeping until the couple could retrieve it the following day. The remaining $300 was applied to an open bar tab.
The husband exited the bar ahead of the wife and got inside his parked car. He was reportedly approached by Thomas, who said, “Give me all your money, or I’ll shoot you.” The complaint said Thomas brandished a weapon later identified as a BB gun.
The husband told police he took $50 from his pocket and that Thomas tried to grab it before the husband said, “No, you ain’t getting that.”
At that point, the wife approached the vehicle. Thomas reportedly turned and pointed the weapon toward her. She knocked the weapon from Thomas’ hand and kicked it underneath a parked vehicle. Thomas then grabbed her purse and struck her in the head. She told police she didn’t see what she was struck with and didn’t remember much after that.
The incident caught the attention of bar patrons, who came outside and wrestled Thomas to the ground. One of the patrons was knocked unconscious during the struggle, and Thomas was able to break free and flee on foot. A witness told police he saw a “rachet wrench” in Thomas’ right hand.
The complaint says the husband sustained a cracked rib, the wife sustained a concussion and the bar patron sustained a head laceration that required 10 staples to close.
Police arrested Thomas on April 15. The complaint says he gave police a false name and initially denied he was at Cheap Andy’s. He later admitted being at the bar but denied knowing anything about the jackpot or attempting to steal the wife’s purse. He said he approached the husband outside the bar because he was “disrespecting his girl” earlier in the evening.
Thomas has a preliminary hearing set for April 29.

1941: Electric streetcar
An electric streetcar heads south in the 100 block of North Fourth Street, then a two-way street, in this snapshot taken in March 1941. Streetcar service in La Crosse ended 70 years ago, Nov. 11, 1945, bringing to a close a mode of transportation that began here in 1879 with horse-drawn cars followed by the advent of electric cars in 1893. Buildings of note in this photo, all which have since been razed, are the National Bank of La Crosse with its Greek temple look, the five-story Stoddard Hotel and the post office with its signature tower. The date of this photo was determined by the Rivoli Theater marquee, at left, which notes Clark Gable and Hedy Lamarr starring in “Comrade X,” a movie that appeared at the Rivoli from March 8-12, 1941, according to Tribune files.

1948: Grand Hotel
The third floor of The Grand Hotel, located at the corner of Third and Pearl streets, is being removed in this 1948 photo. The building, which was built in 1885, was earlier known as the Eperson House and was one of the city's top hotels at the start of the 20th century. In 1948, the Tribune reported that the building had "continued to slide and gradually degenerated into something of a flop-house, offering shelter to knights of the road and other unfortunates with near-empty pocketbooks." Today, the second floor of the building has apartments, and the first floor has been home to a variety of bars, most recently Coconut Joe's, which closed earlier this year.

A lost ship marking the resting place of an important Viking has been unearthed in the path of a planned highway in Norway.
Archaeologist Jani Causevic, from the Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research (NIKU), found the ‘incredibly exciting’ discovery while probing the proposed route of the E39 highway.
Mr Causevic said the presence of a ship pointed to the grave of a person of great importance.
‘Boats were an expensive thing back in the day,’ he said.
‘So whoever is buried there was probably someone important, and they wanted to signify that by giving them a rich burial.
‘Usually people of high status would be given a boat burial.’
The grave was discovered alongside several smaller burial mounds near Øyesletta, western Norway, using ground-penetrating radar.
And while boat graves are a known phenomenon in Viking history, most contain smaller vessels than the one found by Mr Causevic, according to NIKU.
The newly-discovered boat is nearly 30ft long (9m) with seating for six men – big enough to bury more than one person.
‘This is incredibly exciting,’ said Mr Causevic.
‘Not just to find such a discovery, but also to see how the use of georadar gives us the opportunity to explore and document cultural history through new and exciting methods.’
Øyesletta, and the surrounding municipality of Kvinesdal, were already known to be burial grounds, but this is the first time a boat grave has been found there.
The grave has not yet been excavated and what treasures remain inside is still unknown.
If the highway takes another course, we may never find out.
‘It is yet unclear what will happen to the boat,’ said Mr Causevic.
‘If the road construction passes through, it will be excavated, but if they choose a different route, then the burials will most likely just be left alone.”
Boat graves are associated with the late iron age – which ended in 800 AD in Scandinavia – and the subsequent Viking age.
NIKU said they represented some of the moset richly-equipped Viking tombs.
On the other hand, NIKU said the Øyesletta burial grounds were active between 1,500 and 2,000 years ago.
Today, due to the advance of agriculture, none of its burial mounds survive.
Nils Ole Sandet, project manager with the local government, said: “That the project has managed to produce knowledge that we thought was lost is very exciting.
‘This means that we can understand and convey better stories about society and the use of Øyesletta in the Iron Age.’

What racism accusations? Kim Zolciak-Biermann guzzles margaritas and hams it up with husband after Nene Leakes claimed she made racially charged remarks in Bravo lawsuit
- Kim Zolciak-Biermann has yet to address the claims of racism brought against her former co-star NeNe Leakes
- Leakes, 54, claims she heard multiple racist remarks from Zolciak-Biermann, 43, including the N-word
- Her attorneys said the defendants violated federal employment and anti-discrimination laws with their conduct
- 'Not a day goes by that NeNe doesn’t wake up with an onslaught of overwhelming emotions,' her lawyer said
- Leakes was an RHOA regular for 10 seasons and a part-time cast member in the show's seventh season
- Leakes said that speaking out about the racist behavior and support of BLM factored in her being forced off the series in 2020
Kim Zolciak-Biermann appeared to brush off claims of racism on Thursday, as she was pictured drinking margaritas with her husband in the wake of a new lawsuit brought against Bravo by NeNe Leakes.
NeNe Leakes on Wednesday filed a lawsuit in an Atlanta federal court, saying that the companies that produced The Real Housewives of Atlanta oversaw a hostile and racist workplace - calling out Zolciak-Biermann for allegedly making racist comments.
Refusing to address the claims, Zolciak-Biermann instead posted a picture and video with her husband Kroy Biermann, enjoying alcoholic beverages at Chili's restaurant.
What racism accusations? Kim Zolciak-Biermann guzzles margaritas and hams it up with husband after Nene Leakes claimed she made racially charged remarks in Bravo lawsuit
In the video, the mother-of-three tells her followers that daughter Brielle has come to pick her up as she can't drive after drinking.
Driving home in their Rolls-Royce, Zolciak-Biermann gets loud as she lambasts her daughter for stopping at a Starbucks rather than taking her straight home.
The sighting comes as Leakes, 54, named Real Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen, 53, Bravo, NBCUniversal, True Entertainment and Truly Original, as well as executives from the companies, in her suit, according to the Associated Press.
The latest: NeNe Leakes, 54, on Wednesday filed a lawsuit in an Atlanta federal court, saying that the companies that produced RHOA oversaw a hostile and racist workplace.
Leakes, who is Black, said in court docs that she had reported hearing racist remarks from white RHOA co-star Zolciak-Biermann, 43, to higher-ups with the companies, and faced professional repercussions as a result.
'NBC, Bravo and True foster a corporate and workplace culture in which racially-insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated – if not, encouraged,' Leakes' legal team said in court docs in the suit.
The reality star, whose full name is Linnethia Monique Leakes, appeared on 214 total episodes on the Georgia-based reality series from 2008 and 2020, according to iMDb.
Hamming it up: Kim posted a series of pictures and videos from her day out drinking with husband Kroy Biermann
Wild ride: Kim told followers her daughter Brielle came to drive her home in a Rolls-Royce after drinking a margarita but did not mention the controversy with NeNe Leakes
Family: Kim got loud in the car as she bemoaned her daughter wanting to make a pit stop at Starbucks along the way, instead of going straight home
Noting to see here: There was no mention of NeNe's lawsuit in Kim's latest post
She was a regular on the show through the seventh season, was a part-time cast member in the show's seventh season, and returned as a regular from seasons 10 through 12.
She was also seen on the spinoff I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding in 2013, which documented her nuptials to late husband Gregg Leakes.
Leakes said that Zolciak-Biermann - who was not named in the lawsuit - first made a racist remark during the show's initial season in 2008 when the cast was slated to attend a barbecue.
Leakes named Real Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen, 53, among the defendants in her lawsuit
Leakes said the companies she named in the suit - including Bravo and NBCUniversal - were in violation of federal employment and anti-discrimination laws, requesting that damages be determined in a trial
Leakes said in court docs that Zolciak-Biermann said 'words to the effect of: "I don’t want to sit around with NeNe and eat chicken,"' which 'perpetuated an offensive stereotype about African-Americans.'
Zolciak-Biermann made more 'racially offensive and stereotypical' remarks during the show's fifth season in 2012, according to Leakes, who said Zolciak-Biermann used the N-word in reference to her and other cast members amid a fight.
In one instance, after cast member Kandi Burruss, 45, purchased a new home, Leakes told the court, Zolciak-Biermann dubbed the neighborhood Burruss lived in a 'ghetto' and questioned if she needed a swimming pool.
Leakes said in court docs that Zolciak-Biermann referred to her home as a 'roach nest' and lied in implying that Leakes was a drug user.
Leakes said in her suit that she reported the slew of racial remarks to the show's executives, who 'did not terminate their relationship with Zolciak-Biermann, nor take any other meaningful action to put an end to her racially-offensive behavior.'
Leakes said she had reported hearing racist remarks from RHOA co-star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, 43, (pictured) to higher-ups with the companies, and faced professional repercussions as a result
In one instance, after cast member Kandi Burruss, 45, (pictured last month) purchased a new home, Leakes told the court, Zolciak-Biermann dubbed the neighborhood Burruss lived in a 'ghetto' and questioned if she needed a swimming pool
Zolciak-Biermann received more lucrative opportunities from Bravo with the 2012 spinoff Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding, which was later shortened to Don't Be Tardy. The show ran for eight seasons prior to wrapping up in 2020.
Leakes’ lawyer David deRubertis said in a statement that 'from the day the series began filming, NeNe was the target of systemic racism from co-star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, which was tolerated by Bravo executive producer Andy Cohen and other executives.'
Another attorney for Leakes, Joe Habachy, told the AP in an email that 'not a day goes by that NeNe doesn’t wake up with an onslaught of overwhelming emotions as a direct result of these unfortunate and avoidable occurrences.'
In the suit, Leakes said that speaking out about the racist behavior factored in her being forced off the series in 2020 prior to season 13, at a time when the organization Black Lives Matter was making headlines amid social change following the police killing of George Floyd, and the demonstrations against racism and police brutality that ensued thereafter.
Leakes, a vocal supporter of BLM, said in the suit that execs deliberately kept her off episodes that were filmed at the time in which the topic was discussed by the cast.
Leakes and Cohen were pictured in 2019 after an episode of Watch What Happens Live
Leakes was seen with Cohen and Zolciak-Biermann in a shot Cohen posted on social media in 2020
'As the Black Lives Matter movement swept our nation, Mrs. Leakes - Bravo’s historically most successful Black female talent - should have been embraced by NBC, Bravo, and True,' Leakes' legal team said in the suit. 'Instead, NBC, Bravo, and True forced her out of the "house she built," denying her a regular role.'
Leakes said the companies she named in the suit were in violation of federal employment and anti-discrimination laws, requesting that damages be determined in a trial.
A production source told People on Wednesday that Zolciak-Biermann 'isn't sure where all this is coming from,' as she and Leakes 'have been fine for a while now.'
Leakes is one of the most prominent personalities to emerge from the Real Housewives universe, as she's been featured on other shows including Fashion Police, Dancing with the Stars and The Celebrity Apprentice. She has also been featured as an actress on shows including Glee, The New Normal and Dynasty. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10743473/Kim-Zolciak-Biermann-guzzles-margaritas-NeNe-Leakes-racism-lawsuit.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-22T15:09:48Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10743473/Kim-Zolciak-Biermann-guzzles-margaritas-NeNe-Leakes-racism-lawsuit.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 6 |

The lowering of the apparent number of components in repeated patterns is known as redundancy masking. It has a lot of traits with crowding, which is defined as the inability to identify a goal in a cluttered environment. The position of the target in the visual field had a big impact on crowding. It is, for example, greater in the upper visual field than in the lower, and it is generally weakest on the horizontal meridian. As demonstrated by tasks testing spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity, the pattern of visual field asymmetries is ubiquitous in spatial vision. Researchers studied if redundancy masking exhibited the same typical visual field asymmetries as other spatial tasks in order to describe it and expose its similarities and differences from other spatial tasks. About three to six radially oriented lines at 10° eccentricity were given to observers at one of eight places surrounding fixation, and they were asked to indicate the number of lines. They discovered inequalities that were much different from those reported in crowding. There was no difference in redundancy masking between the upper and lower visual fields. Importantly, redundancy masking was stronger on the horizontal meridian than on the vertical meridian, which is the polar opposite of crowding. The findings revealed that redundancy masking differed from crowding in terms of visual field asymmetries, implying that redundancy masking and crowding have separate underlying processes.
The observed anomalous visual field asymmetries in redundancy masking were thought to be attributable to greater regularity extraction and a more significant compression of visual space on the horizontal meridian compared to the vertical meridian.

Which Chanel concealer is best?
Concealer is a makeup bag must-have if you want to brighten dark circles, cover blemishes and conceal other imperfections. Chanel concealers are some of the most popular on the market because of their long-lasting formulas and attractive finishes.
Chanel concealers also stand out for their versatility. The brand offers plenty of traditional skin tone shades but also provides color-correcting options to target specific discoloration types, too. So if you’re looking for a long-wearing concealer that still feels comfortable on the skin, Chanel “Le Correcteur De Chanel” Longwear Concealer is the perfect option.
What to know before you buy a Chanel concealer
Formula
Concealers come in several formulas, which can affect their texture, finish and wear time. Chanel concealers are available in liquid and cream formulas.
- Liquid concealers are more common and usually easier to use. Most come in a tube with a sponge applicator built into the lid. They have a thin consistency, so they typically have a lightweight look and feel on the skin. Liquid concealers work well for all skin types, including oily and mature skin.
- Cream concealers sometimes come in small pots, but most Chanel cream concealers have stick packaging similar to lipstick. You twist up the tube and can then apply the concealer directly to your skin. Cream concealer typically has a heavier look and feel on the skin than liquid formulas, but usually offers more coverage.
Usage
Think about how you plan to use your concealer when choosing a Chanel formula.
If you plan to apply the concealer under your eyes to cover dark circles and hide puffiness, you’ll want a lightweight formula that won’t crease and settle in fine lines. On the other hand, for spot concealing blemishes and other dark spots, a thicker formula with richer pigmentation is better for covering those imperfections.
Chanel also offers color-correcting concealers designed to cover specific types of spots, using principles of color theory. For example, a green concealer helps cover redness because green is opposite red on the color wheel. Likewise, peach and apricot concealers are ideal for bluish dark circles and spots because orange is opposite blue on the color wheel.
Shade range
Chanel concealers are available in as many as 16 shades. The range is fairly wide, but you may have trouble finding an exact shade match if you have extremely light or dark skin.
What to look for in a quality Chanel concealer
Coverage
Choosing a concealer with enough pigmentation to cover the spots you want to conceal is essential. Most Chanel concealers offer light to medium coverage, so they can cover most dark spots. In addition, the formulas are buildable, so you can use a small amount for light coverage or apply multiple layers to achieve medium coverage.
If you have particularly dark spots, though, a full-coverage concealer is better. Because the pigmentation is richer, you won’t have to use as much.
Wear time
Nearly all Chanel concealers are long-wearing, so you can count on them to last throughout the day. Some last longer than others, though, because they’re sweatproof. That means you don’t have to worry about your makeup melting off on hot, humid days.
Finish
Most Chanel concealers have a natural matte finish that resembles skin. Some have a slightly more luminous finish, adding a soft sheen to the skin. These formulas work well for dry or mature skin. You can also find Chanel concealers with a fully matte finish that are ideal for oily skin.
How much you can expect to spend on a Chanel concealer
Chanel concealers typically cost $43-$60. Liquid and cream concealers fall at the lower end of the price range; you’ll pay more for a palette with multiple shades.
Chanel concealer FAQ
Are Chanel concealers cruelty-free?
A. Chanel concealers aren’t considered cruelty-free. The brand doesn’t offer its animal testing policy on its website, so it’s unclear whether it tests products on animals. However, Chanel does sell products in mainland China, which requires animal testing for foreign makeup brands, so it can’t be deemed cruelty-free.
What’s the best way to apply Chanel concealers?
A. You can blend most Chanel concealers into the skin with a concealer brush, a makeup sponge or your fingertips. If the concealer has a built-in applicator or comes in stick form, you can apply it directly from the tub to your skin, then use your chosen tool to blend.

WASHINGTON, April 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- America's mayors continue to lead the fight against climate change through innovative policies and programs that are building climate resiliency, promoting the use of clean energy, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in cities across the country. In recognition of the 52nd Earth Day, U.S. Conference of Mayors President Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez released the following statement:
"As mayors, we have a responsibility to protect our environment, our residents and our economies – today and for future generations. In cities of all sizes, mayors are setting ambitious climate goals and making their cities cleaner, healthier, more resilient, and more equitable. This is a challenge on a global scale, requiring action across all levels of government, but it is mayors who are leading right now. With so much energy, enthusiasm and commitment at the local level, I am confident that together we can tackle the great challenge of our generation."
Here are just a few examples of climate plans and initiatives from cities across America:
Austin, Texas Mayor Steve Adler
Austin has set a goal for all power in the city to be 100% carbon-free by 2035. To get there, the city has begun transitioning the city's fleet to electric vehicles, a step that will save the city an average of $1,300 per vehicle, or an estimated $3.5 million over the next ten years.
Beverly, Massachusetts Mayor Michael Cahill
Beverly has begun transitioning its school fleet to fully electric vehicles and is rapidly building electric vehicle charging infrastructure throughout the city. The city also recently opened a new police station heated and cooled by geothermal energy and has performed energy efficiency work in all schools and most city buildings.
Charlotte, North Carolina Mayor Vi Lyles
Charlotte has begun installing electric vehicle chargers throughout the city and converting the city's bus fleet to electric vehicles. In addition, the city is working to improve the efficiency of the public transit system, including by building new bicycle paths and greenways.
Columbus, Ohio Mayor Andrew Ginther
Columbus has developed a Climate Action Plan that aims to reduce emissions by 45% before 2030 and create a completely carbon neutral city by 2050. To meet this goal, the city has partnered with local electricity providers to launch the Clean Energy Columbus initiative, which will provide residents and businesses with affordable, Ohio-based renewable energy.
Los Angeles, California Mayor Eric Garcetti
Los Angeles has more than 500 megawatts of local solar power installed, enough to power over 140,000 homes. The city is also expanding its renewable portfolio with the Eland Solar and Storage Center, the largest solar and battery storage facility in the country, and the Red Cloud Wind Farm.
Mesa, Arizona Mayor John Giles
Mesa has set ambitious goals in its climate action plan, including attaining carbon neutrality and 100% renewable energy by 2050. To get there, the city recently purchased the first electric firetruck in the U.S. and is beginning to replace its entire fleet of light-duty trucks with electric vehicles. The city has also partnered with Arizona State University to put its wastewater to work by using algae-growing membranes to remove carbon dioxide and create oxygen, healthy biomass and biofuel.
Honolulu, Hawaii Mayor Rick Blangiardi
In 2016, Honolulu launched a new Office of Climate Change, Sustainability and Resiliency. Since taking that step, the city has committed to being carbon neutral by 2045 and has quintupled its production of solar energy. Honolulu has also been upgrading city facilities through an Energy Service Company partnership, bringing electric vehicles into the city fleet and measuring energy and water usage in city facilities.
Houston, Texas Mayor Sylvester Turner
Houston recently transformed a former landfill into one of the largest urban solar farms in the country through the Sunnyside Landfill Solar Project. Tens of thousands of solar panels will soon produce enough energy to power 5,000 homes, meaning cleaner energy for the city and lower power bills for Sunnyside families.
Phoenix, Arizona Mayor Kate Gallego
Phoenix has been investing in public charging stations to incentivize people to purchase electric vehicles and recently unveiled 20 new charging stations at the Phoenix Zoo. The city is also committed to addressing heat issues, which is why the city launched a new Heat Response and Mitigation Office and an initiative to plant more trees, particularly in low-income communities.
Sacramento, California Mayor Darrell Steinberg
Sacramento is encouraging water conservation by offering rebates up to $1,500 for homeowners to replace their lawns with landscaping that will require less water to maintain. More than one million square feet of grass has been replaced since the program began, and the city has received more than 1,000 applications from residents who want to upgrade their irrigation systems, install smart irrigation controllers and replace their toilets.
San Diego, California Mayor Todd Gloria
Cities account for an estimated 70% of global CO2 emissions. In San Diego, Mayor Todd Gloria is exploring decarbonization strategies that would not only make the city more sustainable, but would create good-paying jobs in the process. His office recently released a study of building decarbonization policies to gauge impacts on the San Diego workforce via an ongoing clean-energy transition.
Carmel, Indiana Mayor Jim Brainard
Since 1997, Mayor Jim Brainard has installed more than 140 traffic roundabouts — more than any other American city — to reduce the city's carbon emissions. Since modern roundabouts don't have red lights where cars sit and idle, they don't burn as much gasoline. It's estimated that each roundabout saves about 20,000 gallons of fuel annually.
San José, California Mayor Sam Liccardo
Last year, San José Mayor Sam Liccardo pledged to make the city carbon neutral by the end of the decade, becoming one of the largest cities in the United States to have set the goal of carbon neutrality by 2030. And, under Mayor Liccardo's leadership, the City launched a community choice energy program that offers all San José residents cleaner, cheaper power than PG&E, with the option to upgrade to 100% renewable energy. The program reduces GHG emissions by more than 30%.
Additional stories of mayors' innovation on climate action — including Wichita, KS Mayor Brandon Whipple; Denver, CO Mayor Michael Hancock; New Orleans, LA Mayor LaToya Cantrell; Cambridge, MA Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui; and Miami, FL Mayor and President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors Francis Suarez — are included in the U.S. Conference of Mayors' latest climate report: "Cities Advancing Climate Action: Leveraging Federal Funds for Local Impact — A Resource Guide." This report was created by the Conference's Alliance for a Sustainable Future chaired by Salt Lake City, Utah Mayor Erin Mendenhall.

Which football team does Jake Paul support?
Before he became something of a boxing sensation, Jake Paul rose to fame alongside his brother, Logan Paul, through social media and YouTube.
A sports enthusiast, Paul regularly attends NBA, boxing and UFC events, and it appears that he has recently developed a keener interest in football, particularly the Premier League.
So what team does his allegiance lie with? GOAL takes a look.

Which football team does Jake Paul support?
Jake Paul has revealed that he is a Liverpool fan, singling out the Reds' Egyptian star Mohamed Salah as one of his favourite players.
"I'm starting to get into football more," said Paul in a video that circulated on social media.
"Mo Salah is a beast and, yeah, I'm a Liverpool fan now."
Paul seems to have enjoyed Liverpool's impressive performances under Jurgen Klopp, who helped the club to Champions League and Premier League glory during his tenure.
While he is a self-confessed Liverpool fan, Paul has expressed his admiration for Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo, musing on Twitter that the Red Devil’s aren’t the same without their Portuguese striker.
For many, the realisation that Paul had an interest in football came at the beginning of the 2021-22 season, when he predicted that Man Utd, Everton and Liverpool would all win their opening matches of the season.
He did, however, admit that he wasn’t the most clued up in the game, saying: "I should note I know very little about the EPL!". Nevertheless, whether it was beginner's luck or an educated guess, Paul got all three predictions correct.
While Paul says he developed more of an interest in football in 2021, he had shown an affinity with the sport in the past, having shared a video of himself playing 'street soccer' in a Barcelona jersey in 2016.
Paul also took part in a charity soccer event in Houston in 2017 and in the same year, he also posted a YouTube video of trick shots with former USMNT and Houston Dynamo player Stuart Holden. | https://www.goal.com/en-ae/news/which-football-team-jake-paul-support/blt7e6718f1d2472c56 | 2022-04-22T15:16:29Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ae/news/which-football-team-jake-paul-support/blt7e6718f1d2472c56 | true | 12 |
LONDON, April 22 (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday that skilled workers from India could plug labour shortages in sectors such as information technology in the UK, even as he reiterated that immigration would continue to be controlled.
“If you look, for instance, at IT or computer programming, there are areas where there’s no question that Indian skills can make a difference,” Johnson told reporters in the Indian capital of New Delhi during his two-day visit to the world’s largest democracy.
“I’m going to prioritise skilling up the British people to do those jobs, but I’m not going to be dogmatic in refusing to allow people with skill and talent to aspire to come to the UK.”

New rock trio The Smile, made of Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and Sons Of Kemet’s Tom Skinner, have announced their highly anticipated debut album, A Light For Attracting Attention. The announcement also arrived with the release of a new music video for the single “Free in the Knowledge,” directed by Leo Leigh.
A Light For Attracting Attention is set to be released on May 13. Read a note from Jonny Greenwood, and watch the new video for “Free in the Knowledge” below.
And finally! A release date, a new song, the art work that Thom and Stanley have been painting all winter — and a sense that we will get to share, at last, our new music in full.
I feel grateful that we managed, with Nigel’s help, to record these songs in a way they deserve. And the singles released so far have been liked — as far as I can tell — which makes me feel dangerously confident in the rest of the record. As the all-knowing algorithm has it, if you liked that, you’ll love this, right? Hope so. Aside from anything, the brass and strings players who helped out — I really can’t wait for you to hear all their work too.
So yes, we’re properly proud and excited for everyone to have the whole thing — but, it’s been a drawn out process so far, with so many single songs released. I can only apologise for our tentativeness. Patience is a virtue, but then, so are sobriety and humility — and they’re not happening either. Nor can we persuade Apple Music to stop greying-out the titles of the unreleased tracks (the teases!) — but, come May 13th, everything will be out there, instead of in here.
As we prepare to play this all live, a small part of me views the record as a way of getting people familiar with the songs first. This is short sighted, but as I type this, I can’t really think beyond the first chord of the first concert in Croatia because that’s where so much of the excitement is for me. Live concerts are short-sighted, short-lived things, and all the more vital because of it.
But really, the record still feels worth your time — both the time spent waiting, and the time we’re asking you to invest in hearing it — which is all I can hope for. I’m listening to it constantly, long after I should have had enough, so maybe that’s the right, long-sighted view of this. I hope you have the same experience.
Best wishes,
Jonny

South Carolina mall shooting: 2nd suspect arrested after 15 injured in Columbia
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Authorities in South Carolina have arrested a second suspect in connection with a shooting that left 15 people hurt Saturday at a Columbia mall.
According to WIS-TV and WACH-TV, Columbia police arrested Marquise Love Robinson, 20, on charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault and battery, and unlawfully carrying a pistol, the department said in a news conference Monday.
The update came one day after police arrested Jewayne M. Price, 22, on a charge of unlawfully carrying a pistol following the shooting, which occurred about 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Columbiana Centre. At least nine people were injured by gunfire, while six others were hurt while trying to flee the mall, according to The Associated Press.
Price’s charges were later amended to include attempted murder and aggravated assault and battery, the AP reported Monday.
Police are still searching for a third suspect in connection with the incident. Amari Sincere-Jamal Smith, 19, remains at large and faces the same charges as Robinson, according to the AP.

Which black dress shirt is best?
The black dress shirt is among the most versatile pieces of clothing anyone can keep in their closet. It works for most professional events but is also easy to dress down. It is easy to pair with accessories but also looks great when worn on its own.
The best black dress shirt is the Calvin Klein Dress Shirt Slim Fit Noniron Herringbone. It’s 100% cotton, making it soft and moisture-wicking, and it’s available in most sizes.
What to know before you buy a black dress shirt
Fit
Black dress shirts typically come in three fits: regular, slim and full.
- Regular fit is the standard other fits are based against. It is a little loose and relaxed around most areas of the body and usually works when tucked or untucked.
- Slim fit, also known as athletic or tailored fit, is tight around most areas of the body. It’s best for lean bodies because it will feel and look too tight otherwise. It should also be kept tucked in.
- Full fit, also known as loose, is loose around the body. It’s best for those with larger or especially muscular bodies. It’s also best kept tucked in because it can seem tent-ish if worn untucked.
Finding the right size
Besides choosing the right fit, you also need to make sure your neck, chest, arms and waist measurements align with the shirts.
- Neck measurements are taken where the neck meets the shoulders.
- Chest measurements are taken around the chest and just under the armpits.
- Arm measurements are taken in two steps. First, measure from the back of the neck to where your shoulder ends and your arm begins. Secondly, measure from that point to your wrist and add the numbers together.
- Waist measurements are taken around the torso where the navel is.
What to look for in a quality black dress shirt
Material
Most black dress shirts are made of cotton or cotton blends, but there are also a few specialty materials.
- Cotton is most common simply due to its comfort. It’s soft, breathable and sweat-wicking, plus it’s almost always machine-washable.
- Cotton blends introduce synthetics, usually polyester or spandex, to the cotton. This reduces costs and adds some features. For example, polyester is more wrinkle-resistant, while spandex adds some stretch.
- Specialty materials include linen, broadcloth and Oxford cloth. Linen is more casual and perfect for hot weather but wrinkles easily. Broadcloth is ultra-soft and has a unique sheen that catches the eye. Oxford cloth is thick and built for wearing outdoors.
Design
Black dress shirts are typically solid black and available in lighter or darker shades. Some are available in patterns, such as geometric swirls or stripes. If choosing a black-and-white stripe dress shirt, be careful not to choose one that looks too similar to a referee’s shirt.
How much you can expect to spend on a black dress shirt
Black dress shirts can be as inexpensive as $15 or as expensive as $300. Most nonbrand options cost less than $50, while the average branded shirt costs $50-$100. Combinations of the top brands and the best materials start at $100 and go up.
Black dress shirt FAQ
How should I clean a black dress shirt?
A. That depends on the shirt and what it’s made of. Most black dress shirts are machine-washable, but some need to be hand-washed or dry-cleaned. If it’s machine-washable, you can’t just toss it in as-is. First, you need to completely unbutton the front and the sleeves and remove any collar stays it may have. You also need to wash it on your machine’s delicate setting to minimize the risk of damage. Once washed, it may need to be air-dried instead of machine-dried. Either way, it will likely need to be ironed before you hang it back in your closet.
What color suit should I wear with a black dress shirt?
A. Black dress shirts typically pair best with black or white suits. Most shades of gray also look great with black dress shirts.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — From algae farming to producing a sort of artificial limestone, ideas for reducing greenhouse gas in the atmosphere are getting a funding boost from famed entrepreneur Elon Musk.
The Tesla electric vehicle and SpaceX rocket company developer is bankrolling a $100 million XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition for the most promising ways to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide by grabbing the gas right out of the air.
The 15 early-phase “milestone round” winners were announced Friday and each will get $1 million, a welcome boost for the teams to carry on with and scale up their work.
“What we’ve said is you haven’t given us a million bucks; what you’ve done is catalyzed investment in this technology,” said Mike Kelland, CEO of Planetary Technologies, a milestone winner that seeks to increase the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide by controlling the rising acidity of seawater.
The milestone winners aren’t necessarily ahead or favored for the $80 million in final prize money that will be awarded in three years. Until Dec. 1, 2023, anyone can still jump in the contest, which was announced a year ago, and potentially get a share of that money.
The final winning team or teams will need to show they can remove 1,100 tons (1,000 metric tons) of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year, show how much it would cost to remove up to 1.1 million tons (1 million metric tons) per year and show a path to removing billions of tons of carbon dioxide per year.
A third party — neither the participants nor XPRIZE — will independently validate the work submitted for the grand prize to be announced on April 20, 2025.
XPRIZE announced $5 million in carbon removal project awards to university student teams last fall. The milestone winners announced Friday propose a variety of ways to remove carbon dioxide through artificial means and by helping nature do much of the work herself.
Planetary Technologies isn’t looking up into the sky but down in the ocean to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide. The Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada-based company proposes to use antacids produced from the leftovers of metal mining to make the ocean more able to absorb the greenhouse gas.
“If we kind of ignore the ocean — say we’re trying to do this on land, we’re trying to store it in the ground — we’re just not going to make it,” Kelland said. “That’s sort of the opinion of a lot of these scientists working in this field.”
Durham, North Carolina-based 8 Rivers Capital, sees ocean chemistry as a model to replicate. The winning company seeks to trap atmospheric carbon dioxide in calcium carbonate crystals, similar to how the gas dissolved in the ocean helps form seashells and limestone.
Company spokesperson Adam Goff described the process as “poetic” in a way.
“The calcium cycle is how the earth regulates its CO2 over millions of years. We’re sort of speeding up that natural cycle,” Goff said.
Global Algae, based in Santee, California, won with a plan to cultivate algae to help restore rain forests, which capture huge volumes of carbon dioxide. Algae can be a more efficient and more profitable alternative to the cattle ranching and soy and palm oil crops currently on cleared rain forest land, said Mark Hazlebeck, a principal of the family-owned company.
“We’re actually creating more oil and protein while we’re reforesting at the same time,” Hazlebeck said.
The prize announcement comes as the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns in ever-starker terms of the threat of rising global temperatures, including worsening heat, fires, storms and droughts.
“We still need more — more and deeper emissions cuts, and more reliable, validated carbon removal solutions. That’s why we launched this prize,” said Marcius Extavour, chief scientist and vice president of climate and environment at XPRIZE.
XPRIZE is a technology promotion organization known in part for a contest that encouraged development of a privately funded, reusable spacecraft in 2004. Last year, two teams that showed they could profitably trap carbon dioxide from smokestacks in concrete split a $15 million XPRIZE award.
“Even if we stopped CO2 production, that’s probably still not enough,” XPRIZE founder and executive chairman Peter Diamandis said in a 2021 chat with Musk posted on the XPRIZE website. “We do need mechanisms for extraction of CO2 from the atmosphere and the oceans that don’t exist right now.”
The risk of climate disaster could become “dire” if the trend of higher greenhouse gas concentrations continues alongside human population growth and industrialization, Musk replied.
“It’s probably an unwise experiment to run,” Musk said. “Right now, we’ve only got one planet. Even if 0.1% chance of disaster, why run that risk? It’s crazy.”

DeSantis to sign new bill that introduces legal, funding repercussions for teaching CRT
'The governor looks forward to this bill hitting his desk,' Christina Pushaw, DeSantis' press secretary, told Campus Reform.
The state legislature passed House Bill 7, titled 'Individual Freedom,' on Mar. 10.
Florida residents may soon be able to sue public universities in their state that insert tenets of Critical Race Theory into curricula.
The state legislature passed House Bill 7, titled "Individual Freedom," on Mar. 10. The legislation now awaits Governor Ron DeSantis' signature.
"The governor looks forward to this bill hitting his desk," Christina Pushaw, DeSantis' press secretary, told Campus Reform.
"If approved," the Miami Herald reports, "public universities and colleges could be accused of and sued for discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin or sex if a student or employee objects to instructional materials or training sessions that they believe don’t meet a new set of 'individual freedom' principles."
"Specifically, universities would be ineligible for what is known as performance funding — money tied to a school based on its performance — in the subsequent fiscal year if there is a “substantiated violation” of the restrictions outlined in the bill," the newspaper states.
[RELATED: Faculty union tells members to ignore Florida 'viewpoint diversity' surveys]
Public universities that violate this ban by teaching claims such as "[a]n individual's moral character or status as either privileged or oppressed is necessarily determined by his or her race, color, sex, or national origin" may also lose state funding.
The bill further stipulates that universities teach that regardless of national origin or race, they “cannot and should not attempt to treat others without respect to race, color, sex or national origin.” | https://campusreform.org/article?id=19414 | 2022-04-22T15:26:05Z | https://campusreform.org/article?id=19414 | false | 1 |

Angels, possibly with Mike Trout, open series with Orioles
Article content
The Los Angeles Angels hope three-time MVP Mike Trout will return to the starting lineup Friday night when they open a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles in Anaheim, Calif.
Angels manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday he was “pretty certain” Trout would be ready after missing the past three games with a contusion on the back of his left hand. Trout was hit by a pitch thrown by Rangers reliever Spencer Patton on Sunday.
Trout is off to a mediocre start to the season, batting .267 with a .405 on-base percentage, a .567 slugging percentage, two homers and three RBIs in nine games.

Los Angeles shortstop David Fletcher, on the 10-day injured list due to a strained hip, is eligible to return to the active roster Friday but is not expected to be ready.
The Angels, though, have had success without two of their most important players in the lineup — they are 3-1 in games without Trout and 6-2 in games without Fletcher.
Brandon Marsh has played center field in place of Trout, and Andrew Velazquez has spelled Fletcher at shortstop, part of a deep bench that has been key to the club’s early success.
Also on the list of reserves is Jack Mayfield, who has played both second base and third base this year and has hit safely in all seven games he’s played in. Going back to last season, Mayfield has hit in 13 straight and 18 of 19.

This season, Mayfield is batting .360 (9-for-25) with a 1.029 OPS, one double, one triple and one home run.
“The pop is real, the ball off the bat is real; he’s a really big part of what we’re doing,” Maddon said. “Jackie plays that way. If you look at his minor-league numbers, they were good. It’s not like this is a surprise. He is a classic example of somebody needing an opportunity.”
Mayfield, 31, also has played for the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners but is getting more playing time with Los Angeles.
“The staff and the coaches and everyone, they show confidence in me, and that definitely helps,” Mayfield said. “They make me feel relaxed out there, and they trust me. I just have to keep playing my game and stay consistent, stay scrappy, do what I do best.”

Left-hander Reid Detmers (0-0, 8.59 ERA) will start for the Angels against Orioles lefty Bruce Zimmermann (0-0, 0.00 ERA) on Friday, each making his third start of the season and each looking for his first win.
Zimmermann, though, has been better, having thrown nine scoreless innings overall. He threw four innings against the Milwaukee Brewers on April and five against the New York Yankees on Sunday, giving up a total of seven hits and four walks while striking out 10.
Zimmermann is not the only Baltimore pitcher throwing well. The entire starting staff has stepped up since the club lost No. 1 starter John Means to an arm injury April 13.
Including Tyler Wells’ start against the Oakland A’s on Thursday (two runs in 2 1/3 innings), the Orioles’ rotation has given up just seven earned run in 42 innings, good for a 1.50 ERA in that span.

“When the guys around you are throwing well, you want to be a part of it,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “They’re feeding off each other.”
Detmers has never faced the Orioles, and Zimmermann has never faced the Angels.
Detmers is coming off a rough outing April 15 against the Texas Rangers, when he allowed five runs on six hits in 3 1/3 innings.
Orioles catcher Robinson Chirinos could return to the lineup as soon as Friday, just two days after being hit in the face by a pitch in Oakland. Chirinos passed concussion protocol and is cleared to play.
It’s likely that a potentially more serious injury was avoided because the pitch glanced off Chirinos’ shoulder before hitting him in the face.

NORMAN, Okla. (KFOR) – Paintless dent repair is tricky. You have to be certified in that line of work.
It is time consuming and, therefore, costly.
So when a shady operation closed after taking their insurance money and not doing the work, a handful of folks were in a real bind.
That’s when Dent Spot of Norman stepped in.
Now, Kent Ogle is stepping in with Casey Brown, who nominated the folks at Dent Spot, on an appropriately stormy day and to meet Will Gray with First Fidelity Bank.
“Casey, thank you for your nomination of Pay it 4ward and on behalf of First Fidelity Bank, here is $400,” says Gray.
As the dent work continues in the back, we surprise the manager, Melissa Ellwood, who just returned to the office.
“Hi, Melissa! I’m Kent Ogle from Channel Four and we have a little program called Pay it 4ward where we honor someone who has done something special for their community. Casey has nominated you for Pay it 4ward this week and I am going to let her tell you why.”
“What you and Robbie did touched me so much and you helped me out,” says Casey. “Not only are you good people but you run a good business. Everything you did, not only for me but for everybody involved.”
“You are going to make me cry,” says Melissa.
“I think I speak for everybody when I say I’m truly grateful,” Casey says. “You know what we went through, you were there so thank you”.
“You’re welcome! You’re welcome so very much,” says Melissa.
“So, on behalf of First Fidelity Bank and News Four here is $400 to pay it forward,” says Casey, handing Melissa the prize money.
“Thank you. I’m glad we could help you,” says Melissa. “I’m getting teary eyed!”
“Good, that’s a nice thing that you guys did,” says Kent.
“I appreciate it and I appreciate Casey for the chance to help you out. And also, of course, hopefully, bring more people in and we can help them out in the same situation or anybody who is waiting for a car right now,” says Melissa. “I know there are a lot of people waiting for hail cars to get repaired. We have a lot of openings immediately and we are getting them repaired fast.”
“What motivated you?” asks Kent. “You don’t run a charity. You have a business. You have bills to pay. You have employees, but you helped these folks out. What motivated you to do that?”
“Well, I hope anybody else would do that in the same situation and, of course, we are a business,” says Melissa. “It’s always about getting new customers in but at the same time, we have compassion and we felt bad about the situation that was going on. Cars were left undone, and people were in situations. Of course, we couldn’t do everything for free but at the same time, we were able to honor things that the other company offered and try to help out as much as we can to get them back on the road.”
We also want to thank the owner Robby for making it all possible.
While one business put a dent in their faith in humanity, Dent Spot popped it right back in place by Paying It Forward!

Hayley Hargadon has organised a charity fun day on June to 11th try and raise more money for the ELHT&ME Burnley Hospital’s bereavement midwifery team in time to donate it all on what would be her daughter Minnie-Mai's second birthday.
The event will be a family fun day at the Union Exchange, Colne, from 12-30pm and then going into the night with live entertainment, a sponsored wax and more.
Hayley and partner Simon Coulton previously raised money for the Friends of Serenity charity which helped them after their baby, Minnie-Mai, died in 2020.
Hayley said: “After the initial fund-raiser I would love to raise some more money in Minnie-Mai’s memory. The charity fun day will have something for children during the day and adults at night. We are now asking businesses and individuals to donate prizes for a raffle.”
The Friends of Serenity charity was not something Hayley and Simon were aware of until June 16th in 20202 when they lost their precious daughter, who died when she was just three hours and 22 minutes old.
The brave couple were given the devastating news at Hayley's 20 week scan that their daughter had the rare condition, lethal skeletal dysplasia, a severe bone disorder for which there is no treatment.
Hayley said: "We didn't tell anyone about this and choose to continue with the pregnancy as I could not make the decision to terminate and end her life even though there was only a one per cent chance of her surviving."
Minnie-Mai defied doctors, who said she would not make it through the pregnancy and labour, and she was born at 34 weeks at the Lancashire Women and Newborn Centre in Burnley.
After Minnie-Mai died Hayley and Simon were able to spend time with her in the Serenity Suite where they were they could bathe and dress her and be with her for as long as they needed. A closeknit family, Hayley's sister, Jemma was also able to hold her tiny niece.

Man charged in killing of woman stabbed 55 times, found in duffle bag
NEW YORK (CNN) - A handyman has been charged with murder in the death of a woman found stuffed in a duffel bag in a New York park.
David Bonola, 44, was arrested Thursday on multiple charges, including second-degree murder, in connection with the death of Orsolya Gaal, 51.
Investigators say Bonola was a former handyman who worked for Gaal at her home in Forest Hills.
They also say the pair were having an intimate affair.
Gaal was stabbed 55 times. Police say Bonola stuffed her body into her son’s hockey bag before disposing of it in a nearby park.
“Mr. Bonola is a handyman who was employed by Mrs. Gaal. They have been having an intimate affair for approximately two years,” said NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig in a news conference. “He is either let in voluntarily or he uses a key he has knowledge about hidden in the barbecue. A heated argument ensues between the two in the basement. A knife is brandished, a violent struggle ensues, resulting in our victim being stabbed ruthlessly and brutally in excess of 55 times, causing her demise.”
NYPD detectives say Bonola confessed to the crime after he was arrested early Thursday morning. Detectives were canvassing the area of the crime scene Wednesday night when they observed Bonola, who appeared to be injured.
Investigators say his hand was heavily bandaged because of the cuts he suffered in the attack.

Hypersonic Weapons Market is Expected to Reach USD 14.64 Billion By 2028
Reports And Data
Hypersonic Weapons Market Size – USD 5,013.6 Million in 2020, Market Growth - CAGR of 13.70%
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, April 22, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rising demand for faster weapons, coupled with the effectiveness of the Hypersonic Weapons system, will be a significant factor for the growth of the market over the forecast period. However, the regulatory framework that will come into effect in the coming years will be a restraining factor for the growth of the market.
Hypersonic Weapons Market Size – USD 5,013.6 Million in 2020, Market Growth - CAGR of 13.70%, Market Trends – The U.S., China, and Russia are the leading nations engaged in designing and testing the hypersonic weapons. Market players are in a bid to profit from the international arms race in Hypersonic Weaponry.
According to the current analysis of Reports and Data, the global Hypersonic Weapons market was USD 5,013.6 Million in 2020 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.70% from 2019 to 2026. Hypersonic Weapons are those that incorporate the speed and the capabilities of a cruise missile while being able to travel at speeds faster than Mach 5 (~3,800mph). A major advantage of Hypersonic weapons lies in the fact that they have increased maneuverability and the smooth flight path makes it harder to track than a traditional weapon. Factors affecting the increasing demand for the Hypersonic Weapons market is the rising demand for weapons that are faster than supersonic speeds. The effectiveness of these weapons is the primary factor for the growth of the industry over the forecasted period. Various countries like the U.S., China, Russia, and India are investing heavily in the research and development of these Hypersonic Weapons industry for the huge potential they hold. The US has invested in the research and development of a hypersonic missile called the Advanced Hypersonic Weapon (AHW), which uses the boost-glide technology to propel the conventional warheads. The primary factor restraining the growth of the market is the increasing investment in radar systems that can detect Hypersonic weapons. Growth of such radar industries will act as a hindrance in the growth of the market of Hypersonic Weapons.
Improved versions of weapons are being developed, and every country wants to dominate the warfront. The U.S., China, and Russia are the major countries pursuing the development of such weapons. With the advent of Hypersonic weapons, the speed and the potential range of engagement will be changed.
Key participants include Lockheed Martin (U.S.), Raytheon (U.S.), Boeing (U.S.), Northrup Grumman (U.K.), Brahmos Aerospace Ltd. (India), Kratos (U.S.), SAAB Ab (Sweden), China Aerospace Science & Industry Corp. Ltd. (China), and Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. (U.S.).

Composting conflict: How region plans to roll out complex, costly organic waste program by Ont. deadline
Essex and Kingsville say they won't be a part of regional organic waste plan
There appears to be an organic waste stalemate in Windsor-Essex, with many communities agreeing to a regional approach to the planned program, while two smaller municipalities say the cost is deterring them from opting in.
Ontario is requiring Windsor to divert 70 per cent of its organic waste from the landfill by 2025, while the target for Leamington, Tecumseh, Amherstburg and LaSalle is 50 per cent by the same time. Essex, Kingsville and Lakeshore are exempt from the provincial program due to their size.
But Essex County Warden and Tecumseh Mayor, Gary McNamara, said everyone needs to be all-in for this organic waste plan to really work.
"What's really important here is that you can't piecemeal participation ... because we all share one landfill. And you can't just say, I'm going to divert certain municipalities from participating in it and others can still put their organics into into the landfill," said McNamara. "We can't be looking like we're really serious about climate change and about preserving the landfill if we're actually not going to do it."
McNamara references an Essex County Council vote last month where the majority agreed to a regional organic waste program, setting into motion what he believes is a plan that includes all municipalities.
Still, both Essex Mayor Richard Meloche and Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos tell CBC News they don't plan on participating in the regional strategy, at least not right away.
"It is also expected that the province will ban all organics from landfills in the future," according to an Essex County Council report in March.
So, to implement a system that wasn't necessary due to the life of the landfill nor legislated, to add that cost on to taxpayers was a difficult pill, I think, for most politicians to swallow,- Anne-Marie Albidone, City of Windsor manager of environmental services
Starting an organic waste program from scratch likely won't come cheap. McNamara said he saw early estimates of up to $300 million and an additional $6 to $8 million annually to operate.
The cost all depends on which approach the region selects.
An anaerobic digestion system — which is the most expensive option — takes the organic waste and turns it into a renewable gas. A cheaper option would be to simply turn residents' kitchen scraps into compost.
Private or public facility?
Politicians are also considering whether taxpayers need to shoulder the cost of building a facility to process organic waste or if the private sector is a better option.
Seacliff Energy Corp has operated in Leamington for the last 11 years. The Toronto-based company takes organic waste and turns it into electricity, thermal energy and renewable natural gas.
"Private industry, we can process most efficiently and much cheaper than a municipality can," said Jason Moretto, president and CEO of Envest Corp, which owns Seacliff Energy. "It also removes the risk of these very complex processing and recycling systems from the taxpayer.
Some municipalities seem to have a desire to own their own assets," said Moretto.
The company said it has capacity to process organic waste from Windsor-Essex in addition to what it collects from other municipalities, including the City of Toronto.
Toronto has operated a residential organic waste program for the last 20 years and 90 per cent of people there use it.
The high success rate is attributed to a weekly organic waste pickup, while trash is collected biweekly. Plastic bags can also be used to place organic waste at the curb, rather than just compostable ones.
"Our facilities have been designed to effectively remove them," said Annette Synowiec, director of policy, planning and outreach with the solid waste management services at the City of Toronto. "So in the one facility it's kind of like a blender. So we blend it and open those bags and the lights or those bags will float to the top."
Once Windsor's organic waste collection program is set up, the city will likely turn to a private company to process its organic waste in the short term.
"That will help us get the actual data for our area on how much organics we're actually going to collect," said Anne-Marie Albidone, environmental services manager for the City of Windsor.
Why didn't Windsor-Essex act sooner?
Windsor-Essex is one of the few regions in Ontario that doesn't already have an organic waste program in place.
Others voluntarily took the initiative, well before the province dangled a deadline.
The city said it didn't pursue an organic waste program sooner because there wasn't a pressing need.
"There's nothing cheaper than putting garbage in the hole in the ground," said Albidone. "So, to implement a system that wasn't necessary due to the life of the landfill nor legislated, to add that cost on to taxpayers was a difficult pill, I think, for most politicians to swallow."
The region is conducting an online survey until the end of May to see what's most important for residents when considering a new organic waste program in the coming years. | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/regional-organic-waste-plan-1.6426338?cmp=rss | 2022-04-22T15:37:58Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/regional-organic-waste-plan-1.6426338?cmp=rss | true | 2 |
Sharjah: The second edition of Emirati Book Fair (EBF), organised by Sharjah Book Authority (SBA), in cooperation with Emirates Writers’ Union, will run until April 24 at SBA’s headquarters in Al Zahia.
The book fair, which started on April 21, is open to the public from 9pm-1am daily.
EBF is displaying the works of 970 Emirati writers in one place, thereby spreading Sharjah’s message for advancement of books and reading in the UAE and the region. Readers can browse through thousands of titles by local literary luminaries at the second edition of EBF.
In addition to the latest publications by emerging Emirati writers, visitors can also explore the works of authors known for laying the foundations of the literary scene in the UAE. Highlights at the fair include volumes by writers who established the short story genre in the country and a collection of Nabati poetry by revered Emirati poet Ahmad Al Hammli, first printed in 1976 in India. There are books from multiple genres, including academic books, novels, historical titles and children’s literature.
Ahmed bin Rakkad Al Ameri, chairman of SBA, told Gulf News: “The Emirati Book Fair, which is a first-of-its-kind event, continues the cultural movement led by the emirate of Sharjah under the directives and visions of His highness Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammad Al Qasimi.”
He added: “The Ruler of Sharjah launching his new book at the fair carried a great message to all Emirati writers and authors. It is an affirmation that the fair and the emirate of Sharjah are home to every Emirati writer, and that the arrival of the Emirati cultural discourse on Arab and global arenas begins with the vigorous and robust national presence and the fruitful communication with book makers in the emirates.”
On Thursday, SBA organised a panel discussion titled ‘Emirati Books — Reaching the International Scene’, featuring local authors Salha Obeid and Eman Al Yousuf. The panel discussion was held in the presence of Ahmed bin Rakkad Al Ameri, chairman of SBA; and Sultan Al Amimi, chairman of the Board of Directors, Emirates Writers’ Union. It focused on the key role of Sharjah’s cultural project, founded by His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, more than 40 years ago, in building bridges between cultures and to highlight the UAE and Arab cultures and the literary scene globally.
Speaking at the fair, Obeid highlighted the importance of book fairs in providing unique opportunities to Emirati writers. She said that Sharjah’s participation as a guest of honour in the most prominent international book fairs around the world has played a significant role in presenting Emirati and Arab cultures worldwide.
Al Yousuf said that books are the perfect medium for building bridges between cultures, by removing preconceptions and stereotypes created by the media. In her view, translated works provide a window into in-depth knowledge and authentic information about the region and its people. | https://gulfnews.com/uae/watch-emirati-book-fair-showcases-sharjahs-cultural-project-to-propel-emirati-literary-works-1.87368797 | 2022-04-22T15:39:44Z | https://gulfnews.com/uae/watch-emirati-book-fair-showcases-sharjahs-cultural-project-to-propel-emirati-literary-works-1.87368797 | false | 1 |
(CelebrityAccess) – Dorothy Carvello, music industry veteran and first female A&R executive for Atlantic Records, announced Thursday (April 21) the launch of the Face the Music Now Foundation**, an organization established by and for survivors of sexual harassment and abuse in the music industry. The Foundation will provide a safe space for survivors while focusing on changing the abuse that has been present throughout the music industry for decades without any accountability.
Within the music industry, 72% of female musicians report discrimination, and 67% say they have been victims of sexual harassment.
“As a survivor myself, I have seen and experienced firsthand how sexual harassment and abuse shatters survivors psychologically, financially, and professionally. It’s not a matter of money; it’s about helping them put the pieces back together. This is about the decades-old and widespread abuse of power in the music industry. We want to help survivors find their voices and take back some of what they have lost.” – Dorothy Carvello.
Face the Music Now Foundation is centered on exposing the reality of what has been going on in the industry for decades, demanding accountability, and paving the way for survivors to tell their stories and reclaim their lives. The Foundation aims to limit the industry-wide use of NDAs that have silenced survivors and allowed abusers to continue their predatory behavior without any repercussions.
“These large, publicly traded companies have been protecting predators, and it’s time their shareholders know how their money is being used. For far too long, the music industry has been turning a blind eye to sexual abuse and harassment, and we’re long overdue for that to change,” Carvello added.
Members of the board of directors include:
Beverly Keel, dean of MTSU’s College of Media and Entertainment and a music industry activist who works for gender and racial equality in the music industry
Bruce Roberts, a writer and solo performer with an extensive repertoire, who penned songs for artists ranging from Barbra Streisand to Elton John
Rob Savage, former U.S. Secret Service special agent responsible for the overall protective and investigative missions within the Los Angeles area
The Foundation is committed to educating a new generation of aspiring music industry leaders to believe in equality and fair treatment in the workplace and finally make the music business safer for all.
**Face the Music Now Foundation is different from the Face the Music Foundation. The Face the Music Foundation utilizes music-based initiatives to break the cycle of addiction, increase understanding about addiction, and provide the means for struggling addicts to get clean and sober. Both are critical organizations but not affiliated. | https://celebrityaccess.com/2022/04/22/face-the-music-now-foundation-launches-for-survivors-of-sexual-abuse-in-the-music-industry/ | 2022-04-22T15:40:42Z | https://celebrityaccess.com/2022/04/22/face-the-music-now-foundation-launches-for-survivors-of-sexual-abuse-in-the-music-industry/ | false | 1 |

While composite manufacturing is well-known for supporting industries producing new products for the consumer market, it also supports specialized equipment meant for military use. This support is indispensable in an era where global events have demonstrated that national defence remains as severe an issue as ever.
The Drive for Military Innovation
Throughout history, military action has represented the aspect of society that arguably demands the greatest need for technological development. In the 20th century, it was easy to see the vast scale of science and technological invention that occurred during the first and second world wars. However, there has likely been no time in history when the need to defend a society has not created an enormous need for new inventions that have yielded rapid development.
Why is this Need so Great?
Given the stakes of war, it isn’t a great challenge to understand why most other demands for new technology pale compared to military support. The only other venue where technology contributes directly to the preservation of human life would be in medical use, so it is unsurprising that health care also enjoys a greater rate of technological innovation than most other sectors.
Composites in the Military
Composite manufacturing is vital to developments in Canadian defence because composite materials provide a way to make vehicles perform more efficiently and are also capable of increasing their defensive capabilities.
Materials that Improve Capabilities
When more traditional and more basic building materials like steel and iron are replaced with composite materials, it is possible to make military vehicles lighter so that they can move faster and become more fuel-efficient. At the same time, these materials can be more durable so that such vehicles do not need to sacrifice the level of defensive armour they carry.
Understanding the most valuable qualities to the Canadian military in building materials demonstrates how a carbon fiber composite would help to ensure the best vehicles can be built. That said, the military also makes use of composites like
- Aramid
- Epoxy Resins
- Polyester Resins
- Vinyl Ester Resins
especially in the case of aerospace applications.
Decreasing Costs
Composite materials tend to exhibit unparalleled capabilities, especially in military support, so it might seem logical to employ them in every context possible. In the past, this ambition has been thwarted by the higher costs in manufacturing compared to less efficient materials.
Given the newness and rarity of the most recently developed composite materials, higher production costs are difficult to avoid. However, as this industry continues to grow, manufacturers are working hard at lowering production costs to allow military spending to spread further and provide the Canadian defensive industry with even more support.
If you’re running a manufacturing company and you want to incorporate some of the most dramatic new developments in building materials into your products, one of the best places to look for ideas is to try out the products that are trusted by Canada’s defence industry. Talk to a composite manufacturer to gain a better understanding of how these materials work and what possibilities they might open to you. | https://newsdio.com/a-few-ways-composite-innovation-supports-the-canadian-defense-industry/177542/ | 2022-04-22T15:41:14Z | https://newsdio.com/a-few-ways-composite-innovation-supports-the-canadian-defense-industry/177542/ | false | 1 |

Over 90,000 fans are expected to fill up Wembley Stadium in London, England for an all-British heavyweight title fight between WBC champion Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte, who’s finally getting the first shot of his career.
‘The Gypsy King’ says this will be his retirement fight, but Fury also says a lot of things so you shouldn’t take everything he says at face value. Whyte has been bizarrely quiet for almost the entirety of the lead-up to this fight, but in the ring he’s normally one of the more entertaining fighters in the division.
No doubt that this will be a terrific atmosphere in the red-hot boxing market that is the United Kingdom.
Here’s the rundown on the headliner.
Main Event Preview
Fury went up the ranks at heavyweight with a couple of wins over Dereck Chisora, a stoppage of Christian Hammer, as well as victories over veterans Kevin Johnson and Vinny Maddalone. He ascended to the heavyweight throne way back in 2015, when he went into enemy territory and ended Wladimir Klitschko’s reign as WBA, IBF, and WBO champion. Was the fight awful? Yes. Did Fury clearly win? Yes. Things unraveled for Fury after that monumental victory — testing positive for steroids and cocaine, struggles with depression, excessive weight gain all ensued for Fury. He was stripped of all of his titles and was out of the ring for almost three years.
Then 2018 happened and Fury’s career truly turned around. He worked his way back into fighting shape and won a couple of tune-ups over Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta to set up a showdown with Deontay Wilder. I contend that Fury should’ve gotten the nod even with the two knockdowns suffered against Wilder, but the fact that he got up from Deontay’s vaunted right hand in that final round was nothing short of legendary. Instead of an immediate rematch, Fury signed with Top Rank and won some glorified tune-ups over Tom Schwarz and (in a much tougher outing than expected) Otto Wallin, then we got the Wilder rematch. It was a blowout from start to finish and Mark Breland threw in the towel to save Wilder from more punishment. The trilogy happened last year (sans Breland), and Fury scored an early knockdown, got dropped twice himself, then dispatched ‘The Bronze Bomber’ en route to an emphatic 11th round KO.
Whyte started his career 16-0, setting up a big domestic clash between him and Anthony Joshua, whom Whyte defeated in the amateurs. Dillian shook Joshua early but was slowly broken down and just about knocked through the ropes for his first career loss. He had a thrilling split decision over Dereck Chisora in late 2016, but perhaps his biggest win to date was a somewhat controversial but dramatic decision over Joseph Parker, who knocked Whyte down in the final round after being dropped twice himself (although one shouldn’t have been scored a KD).
He followed up the Parker win with a brutal KO of Chisora in their rematch, as well as a decision over Oscar Rivas (overcoming a knockdown in the process), and a decision against Mariusz Wach. Whyte was on his way to victory after two knockdowns of Alexander Povetkin in their summer 2020 matchup, but the Russian responded with a stunning uppercut that put Whyte out cold in the very next round. They had an immediate rematch in Gibraltar in March of last year, with Whyte thrashing a very shopworn looking Povetkin in four rounds.
Breakdown and Prediction
Fury is rightfully the heavy favorite against the mandatory challenger. He has a terrific jab (ask Deontay Wilder), speed and fluidity that doesn’t look like it would match his physique. We’ve seen his power showcased more in the last two Wilder bouts, but he’s also got very good footwork and he has a way of leaning and pushing down on his foes as a means of making them bear his weight. We’ve also seen that he has cardio for days and isn’t easy to fatigue.
Whyte’s comparatively basic compared to Fury but he’s no joke. He’s got power worth respecting and he has a penchant for attacking the body. Making this an absolute dog fight is his best chance to win. I reckon he may be more willing than most to test Fury’s body, but he’s likely going to be too easy to counter and I don’t trust his cardio to hold up if this fight has any decent pace to it. Fury has the odd nervy moment here and there but otherwise puts on a masterclass and stops Whyte late. The only X-factor here would be Fury’s mindset entering what he’s claimed is his retirement bout, and whether or not he’ll be focused especially given his ties to former adviser Daniel Kinahan. Fury certainly didn’t open up on that occasion!
Prediction: Tyson Fury by TKO, Round 10
What’s on the undercard?
- Absolutely nothing relevant to the very top of world boxing. This is a regional level show propped up as a PPV undercard. American heavyweight prospect Jared Anderson was supposed to fight Christian Hammer on this event, but Anderson withdrew and that really damaged the undercard. The co-feature is Ekow Essuman and Darren Tetley for the British welterweight title, and at least that fight should be entertaining.
- Featherweight and Fury training partner Isaac Lowe, coming off a loss to Luis Alberto Lopez, gets undefeated prospect Nick Ball in what is the latter’s first 12-round fight. It’s for the WBC “silver” featherweight title, which... whatever.
- Undefeated heavyweight prospect David Adeleye takes on Chris Healey, who’s 9-8 and just screams “professional opponent.”
- Tommy Fury opens the PPV against Daniel Bocianski in what can only be described as a battle of the can crushers.
Fury vs. Whyte airs live on ESPN+ pay-per-view at a cost of $69.99. BT Sport Box Office has the pay-per-view in the UK at a cost of £24.95. PPV action starts at 2 PM ET/11 AM PT, and the main event start time is approximately 5 PM ET/2 PM PT. Fury is a -550 favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook. | https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2022/4/22/23036310/tyson-fury-vs-dillian-whyte-preview-all-british-heavyweight-title-clash-london-espn-boxing | 2022-04-22T15:42:41Z | https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2022/4/22/23036310/tyson-fury-vs-dillian-whyte-preview-all-british-heavyweight-title-clash-london-espn-boxing | false | 1 |

Summer is almost upon us, which means the celebs are bringing out *all* the bikini pictures, resulting in massive FOMO for us (hands up who wishes they were on a beach right now?). The latest celeb to jump on the trend? Nicole Scherzinger, who took to Instagram on Friday with a set of *fire* bikini photos, and she looks amazing.
We've seen a tonne of celebs enjoying the sunshine in recent weeks, with the likes of Rita Ora, Dua Lipa and Kendall Jenner taking to the 'gram with nearly-naked bikini snaps. And, yep, the holiday envy is real.
Nicole's latest post sees her posing in a v tiny gold bikini for a shoot with photographer Solmaz Saberi, with the ex Pussycat Dolls singer captioning the pics, "Golden hour ✨." Obsessed.
Everyone knows golden hour is the optimum time to take selfies, right? That's us taking all the notes, thanks Nicole.
The singer's pics see her modelling swimwear brand Solo Mío Swim, designed by the same photographer who took the pics, Solmaz Saberi. Very much here for this collab.
Nicole's followers were, of course, obsessed with the shoot. Fellow artist Natasha Bedingfield commented, "I can’t take it! So incredible," while Eva Longoria chimed in with a string of fire emojis, commenting, "🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥." Agreed. Fans were also very much blow away, with one writing, "Was not ready for this 🔥."
Plus, this isn't the first time Nicole has been seen enjoying her best bikini life on the 'gram. Earlier in April, she took to the platform to share a holiday update with fans, posting a set of nearly-nude bikini pics direct from the beach, writing, "Have a cheeky week everyone!"

Rihanna was reportedly "shocked" at boyfriend and baby daddy A$AP Rocky's arrest, which took place on Wednesday 20 April at Los Angeles Airport as the pair returned from a vacation together in Barbados.
ICYMI, shortly after news broke that the rapper – whose real name is Rakim Mayers – had been arrested, the Los Angeles Police Department tweeted: "33-year-old Rakim Mayers, a Los Angeles resident, also known as music artist A$AP Rocky, has been arrested in connection to a shooting that occurred in the Hollywood area in November of 2021."
Since then, it's been revealed that A$AP has been under investigation for a shooting in LA on 6 November 2021 – until now, it had not previously been reported anywhere in the media. As details of the investigation emerged, we've learned that the alleged victim survived the shooting, and claimed to police that the rapper and two others approached him on the street while holding a handgun and shot at him three or four times, resulting in a "minor injury".
Now, TMZ reports that Rihanna – who is in the third trimester of her pregnancy, with fans believing she is due to give birth any day now – was "blindsided" by A$AP's arrest. According to the outlet, the musician was "shocked" by the whole ordeal.
"Cops chose not to give Rocky or his team a heads up," TMZ alleged. "In fact, we're told the arrest was more than a week in the making." The outlet also claimed they had spoken with police, who said the surprise arrest was a tactic "to see if they could find the gun used in the shooting."
The publication continued: "Cops wanted to find the gun and worried if they gave Rocky a heads up, he might [get rid of] it." TMZ reports that a search of A$AP's home was carried out at the same time of the arrest, in the hopes of finding the weapon.
Elsewhere, an insider source told Entertainment Tonight: "This arrest was not something they saw coming." The source went on, "This drama is the last thing Rihanna needs right now. She wants to be mellow, relaxed, and focused 100 percent on the arrival of her baby... not stressing out!"
Rihanna and A$AP are yet to release a public statement on the matter, but jail records show he has been released on bail. | https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a39793193/rihanna-reaction-asap-rocky-arrest/ | 2022-04-22T15:52:40Z | https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a39793193/rihanna-reaction-asap-rocky-arrest/ | false | 1 |

Which Playmobil ‘Scooby-Doo’ toy is best?
Playmobil has a range of themed toys that children enjoy. If your child is a “Scooby-Doo” fan, they’re sure to love a Playmobil toy with a “Scooby-Doo” theme. Like Lego, many Playmobil toys let children build famous scenes from the TV show. For example, the Playmobil Scooby-Doo Adventure in Egypt Playset features Shaggy, Scooby-Doo and Velma in Egyptian-themed attire.
What to know before you buy a Playmobil ‘Scooby-Doo’ toy
Assembly
Many sets are designed so children can easily put them together. Still, your child may need help. Helping your child assemble a Playmobil toy is an excellent way to spend quality time engaging in their interests.
Safety
Playmobil toys come with a range of small pieces. These toys are often recommended for children ages 5 and older. Still, if your child is known to put things in their mouth, these toy sets may not be ideal. Additionally, the small parts are easy to lose. When buying a Playmobil toy for your child, consider purchasing a small plastic container with a lid to store the pieces.
Characters
Most Playmobil “Scooby-Doo” sets include Scooby-Doo and Shaggy since they’re the most popular characters. A few collections include Velma, Daphne and Fred, although most only have one or two of these additional characters. Many villains follow themes that interest children, such as cowboys, pharaohs and pirates. The monster varies from set to set, allowing you to figure out who your child’s favorite villain is and choose a set accordingly.
What to look for in a quality Playmobil ‘Scooby-Doo’ toy
Interactivity
Playmobil toys are fun to build, but most are fun to play with as well. Some Playmobil sets have locking doors, characters that you can unmask and other elements that make them more engaging. Buying a Playmobil set with interactive features will make your child more likely to play with it often.
Numerous figures
Of all the pieces included in a Playmobil set, children are most likely to play with the character figures. Buying a set with numerous figures allows your child to act out scenes from the show and create their own scenes. If your child has multiple “Scooby-Doo” sets, they can mix and match characters from various sets.
Durability
Many Playmobil sets have numerous doors and compartments that you can open. Although these added features are fun, they sometimes come at the cost of durability. Small pieces with hinges are known to come apart as children play with them. Try choosing a set with enough additional features to be fun but not so many that it is likely to fall apart.
Accessories
In addition to character figures, many Playmobil sets include several accessories. In many cases, the character figures have removable hats your child can swap with hats from other characters. Many sets also include props like money, vehicles and other pieces that tie the set’s theme together.
How much you can expect to spend on a Playmobil ‘Scooby-Doo’ toy
You can expect to spend $10-$50, depending on the number of pieces and size of the playset.
Playmobil ‘Scooby-Doo’ toy FAQ
How many Playmobil ‘Scooby-Doo’ sets are there?
A. Playmobil has a huge selection of “Scooby-Doo” sets. There are over ten sets available with themes such as scuba diving, haunted mansions, cowboys, firefighters and yetis.
Is Playmobil better than Lego?
A. Lego toys tend to offer more variety in terms of what you can build. On the other hand, Playmobil toys usually look more realistic and are more child friendly. Both brands are popular, but Playmobil tends to be better for children that are more interested in playing with the toys after they’re done building them.
How tall are Playmobil figures?
A. Playmobil figures are small enough to fit in your child’s hand but larger than many Lego figures. Most Playmobil character figures stand around 2 to 3 inches tall.
How easy is it to take a Playmobil set apart?
A. Taking a Playmobil set apart is easy enough that most 5- and 6-year-olds can do it themselves. Still, many Playmobil sets don’t include storage containers, making it easy to lose the pieces when they’re taken apart. If you believe your child may lose pieces when breaking down their playset, it may be good to help them when it’s time to put the toy away.

Buffalo Bills Needs, Pre-Draft Analysis: NFL Draft 2022
– Buffalo is in one of the nicest positions in the draft for one key reason. It doesn’t desperately need anything other than a few upgrades. The talent is there, the depth was helped out across the board through free agency – especially on the defensive line – and landing Von Miller gives the team that extra pass rusher that was one of the areas that needed a slight boost.
– It all means the Bills can take the best player available at the 25, and that’s a good place to be in a sneaky-deep draft. They have three of the top 89 picks, and they can bulk up with options with the last five late picks to see if they can find someone who sticks.
– Buffalo was solid drafting from 2017 to 2019, the 2020 draft wasn’t anything great – there wasn’t a first rounder – and last year’s draft was solid for the lines.
– So who’ll be there in the first round for Buffalo? Now they need a better running back, a good wide receiver would help, and corner might be the one area to target.
The running back can be there at the 57 – Michigan State’s Kenneth Walker and Iowa State’s Breece Hall could be there, and James Cook, Isaiah Spiller, and others should be around at the 89 – and a good cornerback will be there at the 25.
Clemson’s Andrew Booth should be around, and Washington’s Kyler Gordon and Florida’s Kaiir Elam will both be around.

Two Kerry photographers are among the finalists for a National Nature photography competition – the winners of which will be announced on Wednesday, April 27.
RTÉ and the National Botanic Gardens of Ireland with the Office of Public Works have now announced the final 12 chosen images in the Eye on Nature competition – Ireland's national wildlife photography competition.
An online gallery featuring the 12 finalists' photographs along with a further eight runner-up images has been launched. These include two images from two talented Kerry photographers – both of the famous Kerry deer.
Former National Parks and Wildlife Ranger, Peter O’Toole, is more than well-known for his wonderful images has been chosen as one of the finalists for his photo of a Red Stag in Killarney National Park. He is joined by photographer Karol Waszkiewicz on the finalists panel whose shot captured a Red Stag in water in Lough Leane in Killarney National Park.
This year’s competition was launched in January 2022 on Mooney Goes Wild on RTÉ Radio 1 and Today on RTÉ One and celebrates the flora and fauna of our island. It received an overwhelming response with more than 3,000 entries.
The judging panel are Dr Matthew Jebb (Director, National Botanic Gardens), Anne Sommerfield (award-winning filmmaker) and Mike Brown (award-winning wildlife photographer.) They narrowed 100 photos down to the final 12 images. These photographs represent the rich natural heritage that Ireland has to offer, showcasing our island’s biodiversity.
On next Wednesday’s Today show, April, Derek Mooney will be in the National Botanic Gardens of Ireland along with the 12 finalists. Viewers will see the images displayed in the gardens. The winner will be announced live during that show and the winning photographer will be presented with the Eye on Nature trophy and a prize of €1,000.
In the coming months, the exhibition will travel to other Office of Public Works sites across the country.

Anubrat Mandal is getting release from SSKM after 16 days, will CBI be active again? – News18 Bangla
#Kolkata: Trinamool leader Anubrat Mandal is being discharged from SSKM Hospital after 17 days in hospital. He was admitted to SSKM Hospital on April 8 The Trinamool district president of Birbhum has been undergoing treatment under the supervision of a medical board comprising specialist doctors of SSKM Hospital.
Anubrat Mandal did not appear before the CBI as he was admitted to SSKM Hospital. However, Anubrat’s lawyers said in a letter to the Central Intelligence Agency that they could come to the hospital and talk to him if the CBI wanted.

According to SSKM Hospital sources, there is blockage in two arteries of Anubrat Mandal’s heart. Doctors have advised him to stay in bed rest for now Four weeks later, he was again asked to come for a check-up According to sources, the Trinamool leader will probably return to his flat in Chinar Park near New Town after being released from the hospital.
The CBI had repeatedly summoned Anubrat Mandal for questioning in the cattle smuggling case. He was scheduled to appear at the CBI office in Kolkata on April 6 But that morning Anubrat Mandal went to SSKM Hospital with various problems including shortness of breath. He was later admitted to Woodburn Ward of SSKM Hospital on the advice of doctors It remains to be seen whether the CBI will be active in questioning him again after he is released from Anubrat Hospital.

Submitted April 19, 2022
We are sick and tired of hearing about COVID-19 and the still present possibility of getting sick from the virus, which has yet to settle into an endemic state.
Uncertainty can be hard to bear. As Americans rightfully celebrate the recent steep decline in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, we hope for continued low viral spread. Lately, that decline has plateaued in the U.S. and locally, as we have begun to experience sustained upticks in infections. Reopening has played some part in this reversal and so has BA.2, the subvariant of Omicron BA.1 that is now dominant here.
We all know how contagious Omicron BA.1 was, infecting approximately 50% of Americans last winter in fewer than ten weeks. Epidemiologists had never seen a virus burn through a population so fast. With BA.2 now responsible for greater than 72% of all new COVID-19 infections in our country, it is sobering that this highly mutated Omicron subvariant is even 40% more infectious than its parent BA.1.
Thankfully, BA.2 is similar to BA.1 in that it does not cause more severe disease than its parent when people with normally functioning immune systems get infected. Unlike the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and its Alpha, Beta, and Delta variants, both Omicron variants usually affect the nose and throat of infected people rather than causing pneumonias and deadly cytokine storms in the lungs.
So, what can experts predict about COVID-19 in the coming months and year?
It is still too early to know whether the U.S. will soon experience a large surge from BA.2 as has already happened in Europe, Hong Kong, and elsewhere. We are at risk because, unlike other Western countries, only two-thirds of Americans are fully vaccinated, and of that group, just 45% have received a first booster shot.
Unfortunately, BA.2 is different enough from BA.1 that only one of the early treatment monoclonal antibodies—bebtelovimab—is still beneficial. On the plus side, we are entering the warmer months when people will congregate more outdoors, and immunity to BA.1 appears to protect against BA.2. Most Americans likely have that immunity either from a BA.1 infection or through boosting, or both.
By May or early June at the latest, scientists must decide on the composition of a fall booster shot by estimating which variants of the virus it needs to protect against. There’s the rub.
Unlike the endemic flu virus, which is more predictable (in terms of numbers of cases, timing, and likely mutation directions), permitting scientists to plan vaccines more accurately six months ahead, SARS-CoV-2 is not yet predictable.
First, it changes its genetic composition about four times faster than the flu virus, and vaccine planning against a fast-moving target is difficult. Second, while the virus causing COVID-19 can descend step-wise as it did from Omicron BA.1 to Omicron BA.2, it also remains subject to huge and unpredictable genetic jumps.
Such a leap took place when Omicron BA.1 appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, and replaced Delta. Those genetic jumps may be descended from distant COVID-19 cousins that are out there spreading among the worldwide majority of humans who are unvaccinated.
That is what happened last fall and winter, resulting in high rates of sickness and death that could not have been anticipated. One reason that Omicron BA.1 cases surged to such record highs is that BA.1 was able to evade immunity from previous infections with earlier variants.
Thankfully, being fully up-to-date with vaccinations protected people from getting seriously ill, needing hospitalization, or dying, though not from getting breakthrough infections. Should there be another large genetic evolutionary jump like the leap from Delta to Omicron BA.1, scientists planning an Omicron-specific booster shot for the fall might be far off base.
Further ahead, and understanding that the SARS-CoV-2 virus will continue to mutate fast, we can hope that it keeps spawning any new variants from Omicron rather than leaping to a totally novel and potentially more serious variant. It is good to know that virologists observe and analyze these changes continuously.
Without a clear-cut path forward, it is wise to follow current recommendations for vaccinations and booster shots, including the recent advice that Americans over age 50 and others aged 12 and above with compromised immune systems get a second booster shot four months or more after their first ones. We also need to reduce viral transmission here and globally so that SARS-CoV-2 cannot find more opportunities inside infected people’s bodies to mutate in possibly dangerous ways.
The bottom line for me is to prevent serious disease (vaccinate and boost), to protect the vulnerable (respect the mask), and when exposed to COVID-19 or feeling ill—even with common colds and sore throats—(test-to-treat).

Claims that a viral picture showed Ukrainian children celebrating Adolf Hitler’s birthday have been officially debunked.
Fact-checkers at Reuters looked into an image that was circulating online and claimed to show schoolchildren celebrating the Nazi leader’s birthday in Lviv, Ukraine.
Social media users said the children were standing in lines forming the shape of a Swastika to mark Hitler’s birthday on 20th April.
One person on Facebook posted the image and wrote: “THERE IS NO NAZISM IN UKRAINE. This is Lviv. Just schoolchildren. Just celebrated Hitler's birthday 20 April, In Ukraine, in which, as you know, there is no Nazism.”
Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin has falsely claimed that his troops invaded Ukraine to “de-Nazify” the country, continually calling it a special military operation and refusing to refer to it as a war.

But, a reverse image search from Reuters revealed that the image dates back to April 2016 and was taken in Russia on “Cosmonaut Day”.

Reuters were able to geo-located the image to the Russian city of Penza where it was taken outside a youth house.
As well as being taken in Russia, Reuters found the image had nothing to do with Hitler’s birthday or Nazism, either.
The individuals in the picture are actually lined up to spell out the number 55 to mark the anniversary of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin’s first manned mission outside of Earth, according to news reports from the day.The Independent has a proud history of campaigning for the rights of the most vulnerable, and we first ran our Refugees Welcome campaign during the war in Syria in 2015.

A roundup of some of the most popular but completely untrue stories and visuals of the week. None of these are legit, even though they were shared widely on social media. The Associated Press checked them out. Here are the facts:

Posts spread fictional tale of ‘Ukrainian beauty’ who blew up 52 tanks
CLAIM: Photo of woman in a military uniform shows “Ukrainian beauty” who “blew up 52 invading Russian tanks.”
THE FACTS: The woman in the photo is a military doctor, not a combat soldier, according to news reports, posts on her Facebook account and messages from her mother. A misrepresented photo of a trauma doctor in Ukraine is the latest example of false propaganda and disinformation that have overwhelmed social media in response to Russia’s war on Ukraine over the past seven weeks. The widely-shared photo showed a young woman in a camouflage jacket decorated with medals and pins, including one with a Ukrainian flag. Twitter posts touted her as a combat hero, responsible for destroying Russian military vehicles. “This Ukrainian beauty blew up 52 invading Russian tanks,” read one tweet that was shared more than 9,000 times. “Retweet if you think she’s a HERO,” another Twitter user added. But the information is incorrect. A reverse-image search found the photo of the Ukrainian woman, Maj. Victoria Palamarchuk, appeared in an article about her work as a military doctor. The article was published in March 2021 by ArmyInform, an information agency of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. The article described Palamarchuk as a traumatologist who began working for the Ukrainian military in 2014. ArmyInform said in 2021 that she was a senior resident of the traumatology department who operated on patients with gunshot wounds, performed amputations and carried out other surgeries at a military medical clinic in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro. The Associated Press used Facebook to locate Palamarchuk’s mother, Tatyana Palamarchuk, who confirmed the claims she blew up 52 tanks were false. “About tanks - it’s a fake! Victoria is a military doctor, trauma surgeon,” the elder Palamarchuk wrote in a Facebook message in Ukrainian. “She does not need false merits. She has something to be proud of and rightly so.” Tatyana Palamarchuk said her daughter was too busy with work to respond to the false claim, but shared her daughter’s Facebook account, which corroborated her residence in Dnipro and her work as a trauma doctor. When Palamarchuk learned about the false claims spreading about her, she reported them to Ukraine’s state security service, the SBU, her mother said. A wider internet search found Palamarchuk was featured in other media reports, including various interviews published on YouTube and a feature story on her participation in a military motorcycle club.

Private gift shop, not White House, selling coins honoring Zelenskyy
CLAIM: The Biden administration “dedicated two commemorative coins” to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
THE FACTS: The White House Gift Shop, which is a private company and not part of the federal government, is selling the coins. The White House-themed shop recently began selling two coins focused on Zelenskyy — one honoring him, the other commemorating his address to Congress. But social media posts in recent days have wrongly claimed that it was the White House itself behind the coins. “The US Presidential Administration dedicated two commemorative coins in the ‘Historical Moments’ series to Ukraine and its President Volodymyr Zelenskyy,” reads one tweet, which included a screenshot of the coins from the White House Gift Shop. But that shop, despite its name, is not operated by the federal government. It’s a private company. While the store was associated with the White House when it was founded in the 1940s as a “flower fund” for the families of White House police officers, that is no longer the case. “The White House Gift Shop is privatized,” Anthony Giannini, CEO and executive director of the shop, told the AP. Giannini said he officially acquired the shop in 2012 from the now-defunct U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division Benefit Fund. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office records show that “White House Gift Shop” is trademarked by Giannini Strategic Enterprises, a Pennsylvania company. The shop used to operate in Washington, D.C., but no longer has a physical location. It operates online and has a distribution center in Rochester, Michigan, near Detroit, Giannini said. Separately, the nonprofit White House Historical Association operates two retail shops, including one at the White House Visitor Center.

Fake BBC tweet spreads fabricated Macron quote
CLAIM: The BBC tweeted that French President Emmanuel Macron said France needs to be prepared to take up to 60 million refugees from Africa and the Middle East over the next 20 years because sanctions against Russia will cause economic collapse in Africa.
THE FACTS: The BBC never tweeted this, and Macron has not argued that France, a country of 67 million people, needs to prepare for 60 million refugees. As French citizens prepare to vote in the April 24 runoff election that will decide the country’s next president, social media users are sharing an image made to look like a BBC tweet to push a false narrative about the incumbent candidate. “France’s President Macron tells re-election audience, ‘Europe needs to be prepared to take up to 60 million refugees, over the next 20 years, from Africa and the Middle East,’ as he warns that sanctions on Russia are leading to economic collapse in Africa, which imports vast amounts of Russian wheat,” the fake tweet read. It was manipulated to look like a screenshot of a post from the account @BBCWorld on April 11. The doctored image included a photograph of Macron with BBC News branding in the bottom left corner. But the tweet was not posted on any BBC account, nor does it reflect any real story published by the broadcaster, the BBC press office confirmed to the AP in an email. “This isn’t a BBC article and we encourage audiences to visit the BBC News website if they’re unsure if a story is real,” the BBC press office wrote. The office also reposted an April 17 tweet from BBC journalist Shayan Sardarizadeh pointing out the misinformation. The Internet Archive saved a snapshot of the @BBCWorld Twitter profile less than five hours after the tweet was allegedly posted and showed no evidence of the post. The text in the fake tweet also was too long for Twitter, exceeding the platform’s 240-character limit. The quote attributed to Macron in the tweet is not real, Macron’s office confirmed to the AP. While France is a major destination for asylum-seekers, Macron’s centrist government expels thousands of migrants every year who don’t qualify for asylum and has toughened immigration policy. His rival in Sunday’s presidential runoff election, nationalist Marine Le Pen, would sharply curtail immigration if elected, and her supporters have sought to paint Macron as soft on the issue.

Cloud seeding hasn’t caused flooding in Australia
CLAIM: A rain-enhancing process known as cloud seeding caused historic flooding in Tasmania, Australia, in 2016 and along Australia’s southeastern coast this year.
THE FACTS: There’s no evidence to suggest that cloud seeding played a role in either flood, and an atmospheric research expert told the AP that cloud seeding would not change the dynamics of a cloud enough to cause massive flooding. In recent months, Australia’s southeastern coast has experienced some of its worst flooding in more than a decade, leading some social media users to highlight a previous instance of flooding and spread false theories about what caused it and other floods over the years. Twitter users are sharing a clip from a 2016 news broadcast about flooding in Tasmania to claim it proves that cloud seeding — which involves spraying fine particles of silver iodide and dry ice into a cloud system to enhance precipitation — provoked the heavy rainfall. In the 2016 clip from the Australian TV network 7News, a journalist says, “Residents in southern Tasmania are demanding to know why cloud seeding was conducted over the Derwent River catchment the day before the worst floods in 40 years.” One social media user shared the old clip Tuesday with a caption claiming that cloud seeding made flooding worse. But a probe by the Tasmanian government into the 2016 flooding has since been completed, and investigators found that cloud seeding by Hydro Tasmania, a government-owned generator of renewable energy, did not contribute to or worsen the heavy rains. “Hydro Tasmania (HT)’s cloud seeding activities on 5 June had no impact on precipitation, with this conclusion having a solid scientific basis,” stated the June 2017 independent report. Hydro Tasmania also denied that its flights were to blame and said in a statement that “the operation had no measurable impact on rainfall on that day.” A Hydro Tasmania spokesperson told the AP that it has since stopped cloud seeding. Sarah Tessendorf, a project scientist at the Colorado-based National Center for Atmospheric Research, said cloud seeding "does not have the ability to suddenly produce all kinds of heavy rain and snow.” She said the process would not dramatically worsen clouds that are already forecast to produce severe weather, either. Everything from wind speed, air movement and updraft, or a current of rising air, can affect a storm’s strength, Tessendorf added. A really strong storm, she explained, will already have a very strong updraft and wind flow characteristics that help create the cloud to begin with. “We’re not altering the updraft of the clouds. We don’t have that technology,” she said. “This type of microphysical response is very unlikely to produce such an overwhelming change in the cloud.” Social media users are also sharing a separate example to baselessly claim that cloud seeding played a role in deadly flooding that happened throughout February and March in Queensland and New South Wales. One widely shared post singled out the aviation company Handel Aviation to make the unfounded claim that it ran a cloud seeding flight that was contributing to large-scale flooding in Lismore. Handel Aviation posted a statement in response calling the claims “misinformation” and denying that it conducts cloud seeding flights, stating that it only operates an aerial photography aircraft. That aircraft was capturing images of the flood damage at the time, according to the statement. Nearmap, which analyzes and distributes the company’s photos, confirmed in a statement to the AP that the claims associating Handel’s recent flight with cloud seeding are false. The aerial images were commissioned after the flooding and were used to document the impact on property and infrastructure, according to the statement. Archives of Handel Aviation’s website dating back to 2008 show that cloud seeding services have never been mentioned or offered.

- Nicolas Cage told Jimmy Kimmel that he once almost bought a cave while filming in North Dakota.
- Cage said that he wanted to "go down in the bottom of the cave and get totally naked with my wife."
- But the "Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" star said he didn't end up buying the cave.
Nicolas Cage took time to debunk several urban legends about himself during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" this week — including the rumor that he and his "National Treasure" costar Diane Kruger bought a "Bat cave."
"I think we were in North Dakota, in the Black Hills, when we were shooting one of the 'Treasure' movies, and I said, 'I hear there's a cave for sale, let's go look at it,'" Cage recalled on Wednesday's episode of the talk show (around the 12-minute mark in the clip below).
The actor said the cave in question was "beautiful," and filled with "stalactites," "milky quartz," and "crystalline walls," and even compared it to "unfiltered" sake.
"I thought, 'I'd like to buy this, and just go down in the bottom of the cave, and get totally naked with my wife, and drink,'" Cage said of his reaction to seeing the cave. "Needless to say, I didn't buy the cave. It didn't happen."
The "Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" star also clarified to Kimmel that there were "no bats in the cave."
Cage was married to Alice Kim from 2004 to 2016 and tied the knot with Riko Shabata in 2021.
The legendary actor weighed in on his relationship with Shabata (and his past five marriages) earlier this year.
"I'm really happily married," Cage said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times in January. "I know five is a lot but I think I got it right this time."
According to People, the pair met in Shiga, Japan, through mutual friends while Cage was filming "Prisoners of the Ghostland."

The Italian press paid special attention to Viktor Orbán’s visit to the Vatican. Pope Francis hosted the Hungarian Prime Minister with a private conversation which received a great deal of press coverage. Following the event, various press outlets reported that
Pope Francis sees Viktor Orbán as a partner for peace because, among the European leaders, he maintains the most balanced relations with Moscow.
The Italian press highlighted that though there were differences in opinion on migration between the Vatican and the Hungarian government, the current Ukrainian-Russian conflict has brought the two closer together. Multiple papers wrote: “Pope Francis praised Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian people for their dedicated work in taking care of Ukrainian refugees.” Afterwards, the media emphasized that the Vatican’s diplomacy is paying special attention to Viktor Orbán as he could play a key role in establishing peace.
The Holy See’s press release described the visit similarly.
It was emphasized that Pope Francis praised PM Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian people for their dedicated efforts in accommodating Ukrainian refugees.
According to the release, the Bishop of Rome and the Hungarian PM spoke privately; however, no members of the Vatican’s foreign ministry took part on this occasion. Pope Francis gifted Viktor Orbán volumes of his writings as well a bronze sculpture of Saint Martin while the Hungarian Prime Minister gave the music-aficionado Holy Father writings from Béla Bartók. At the end of the meeting, Pope Francis blessed PM Orbán’s family and Hungary and he was in turn invited to Hungary this coming year. According to the II Giornale daily,
At the same time, Orbán’s visit to the Vatican is a sign of approval for his neutral stance on the Ukrainian-Russian conflict – which has frequently put him under crossfire from the West.
Another important meeting
Yesterday Viktor Orbán also met with Matteo Salvini, former minister of the Interior and current Federal Secretary of the Lega Nord party. Salvini was accompanied by Lorenzo Fontana, Deputy Federal Secretary of the Lega Nord party. Salvini personally congratulated the Hungarian PM on his victory.
They discussed the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, support for families and religion, the fight against illegal migration, as well as the protection of Italian and Hungarian interests.
Salvini stated that he is proud of the Italian-Hungarian understanding and friendship.
Following the meeting, Italian journalists asked Lega Nord’s leader a provocative question: how timely was his meeting with the Hungarian PM? Salvini succinctly answered:
Let’s be serious – he was just received by the Roman Pontiff.
The daily, La Repubblica, highlighted that Salvini and Orbán’s personal meeting further deepens relations between the parties.

With wedding season around the corner many couples are preparing for their big day.
The price we pay for getting hitched is well documented, with some bills ringing in at eye-watering amounts, but a wedding could also cost the earth - literally.
Any party has the potential to impact badly on the environment but there is another way.
“The importance of having an eco-friendly wedding is being embraced by more and more couples during the planning of their big day,” said wedding expert, Lisa Forde, of wedding stationery specialists, Tree of Hearts.
“The sustainable movement is all about reducing the use of single-use materials and opting for products and materials that are better for the environment.
“If you’re looking to plan your own eco-friendly wedding there’s lots of things to think about - from wedding party outfits to confetti to your honeymoon.”
With almost two decades in the industry under her belt, Lisa has seen the priorities of brides-to-be change over time, with many of her brides stating that an eco-friendly wedding is of high importance.
For couples with a conscience, Lisa has pulled together seven things to think about when planning your eco-friendly wedding:
Stationery suppliers
You might think that sending your invitations online is an easy way to eliminate waste but it’s not actually that much more eco-friendly. Did you know that around 120 emails equates to 1,652 g CO2e?
But at the end of the day, nothing beats traditional high-quality stationery, eloquently styled and designed, printed on high-quality sustainable paper and personalised to your day and a keepsake for your guests forever.
Wedding party outfits
Choosing outfits when you're trying to be eco-friendly can be difficult, as you don't want to compromise on style and want something that will really suit you. Luckily for you, there are so many options.
We would recommend looking in second-hand and vintage boutiques to find pre-loved dresses. There will be so many beautiful styles for a fraction of the cost of buying a brand new dress.
More and more brides are also choosing to wear their mum's wedding dress for their special day. You can then have alterations made if you're looking for a more modern style.
For the groom and groomsmen, consider renting suits. This is a great idea as many men will never wear their wedding suit ever again, and it will just sit in the wardrobe gathering dust.
Make-up
When choosing your wedding make-up, be sure to avoid single-use products, such as fake eyelashes and make-up-removing wipes.
Make sure to discuss this with your make-up artist ahead of time so they can choose make-up that is in eco-friendly containers and packaging, and stay far away from plastic.
Venue
Choosing a local venue is very beneficial for the environment, as all of your wedding guests won't have to travel as far.
You may also want to choose a venue that is already very beautiful, such as a castle or a church, as then you won't have to spend as much on decor.
If you do want to use more decor to add to your venue, you can then reduce your waste by using eco-friendly decor.
Live plants make beautiful decorations, and can be kept long after your special day. Candles also make beautiful, sophisticated decorations, and are available in lots of eco-friendly materials, such as beeswax.
Food
Having no food waste after a wedding can be difficult as often people struggle to finish their meals.
To reduce food waste, you could have a buffet instead of set meals. This means that people will take as much food as they want, so may eat more or less than they would at a set meal. The leftover food could then be taken home by guests, or donated.
You can reduce the environmental effects of food waste by sourcing local food, and opting for reusable cutlery.
Serving drinks in glasses rather than single-use cups is another easy way to stay environmentally-conscious. Make sure any empty bottles get recycled.
And whilst a big wedding cake may look lovely, it's unlikely the whole thing will get finished, so perhaps choose a smaller cake.
Gifts
Unfortunately, gifts are another way that a wedding can become wasteful, especially if you're receiving things you never asked for or wanted.
You can prevent waste by setting up a gift registry. This means that you will only get gifts that you really want and need. You may also want to ask your wedding guests to wrap your gifts in eco-friendly wrapping paper, or not to wrap them at all.
If you do receive any gifts you know that you won't use, then you can resell them or donate them to a local charity.
Alternatively, lots of our couples are now asking for charity donations or money as a gift, or contributions towards their honeymoon fund.
Wedding favours
Choosing wedding favours with natural ingredients is a great way to reduce waste.
There are lots of natural handmade favours you can also make, including soaps, bath bombs and jam.
Make sure that your packaging is either made from paper, glass, or another more eco-friendly alternative to plastic.
Many couples choose not to give out favours at all, and this is completely fine.
