Cuba and US take tentative step with talks on migration
WASHINGTON (AP) — Cuba and the United States took a tentative step toward thawing relations and resuming joint efforts to address irregular migration, a senior Cuban official said following the highest-level talks between the two countries in four years.
There were no major breakthroughs, but the mere fact that the U.S. was holding substantive talks was a sign relations might be looking better under President Joe Biden after going into deep freeze under his predecessor, Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernandez de Cossio said Friday.
“They seem committed. They ratified that they are committed to the agreements in place,” Fernandez de Cossio said. “So we have no reason to mistrust what they’re saying, but time will tell.”
The talks did not focus on broader U.S.-Cuba relations but more narrowly on restoring adherence to previous agreements that were intended to curtail the often-dangerous irregular migration from the island to the United States.
“These talks helped both of us to understand the nature and the magnitude of the problem we’re facing,” the deputy foreign minister said in an interview with The Associated Press at the Cuban ambassador’s residence outside Washington.
U.S. officials want Cuba to resume taking back flights of deported migrants, which it stopped doing at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cuban authorities, meanwhile, want to see the U.S. follow through on its plan to restore consular services in Havana, so people can once again get visas to legally come to the United States, as well as change other policies that it believes encourage irregular migration from the island.
“They asked us to renew the flights because it was an important element of deterrence,” he said. “We said we agree that is an important element of deterrence. We explained that we needed to do in an integral manner, and they understood this.”
It was a more detailed rundown of the talks than what was provided by the U.S. a day earlier. State Department spokesman Ned Price said the meeting “underscores our commitment to pursuing constructive discussions with the government of Cuba where appropriate to advance U.S. interests.”
The talks take place against the backdrop of relations that sharply deteriorated under President Donald Trump and amid a sharp increase in the number of Cubans seeking to enter the U.S. along the Southwest border.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection stopped Cubans more than 79,800 times from October through March — more than double all of 2021 and five times more than all of 2020. Overall, the Border Patrol stopped migrants of all nationalities more than 209,000 times in March, the highest monthly mark in 22 years.
Cubans who cross the U.S. border illegally face little risk of being deported or expelled under a public health law that has been used to deny asylum to thousands of migrants of other nationalities on the grounds of slowing the spread of COVID-19.
Asked why so many Cubans are fleeing their country, Fernandez de Cossio blamed tough economic conditions in his country and widespread knowledge among Cubans that they will be granted asylum and legal residency in the U.S.
“Life is difficult for Cubans. It’s a developing country like any other country in the region,” he said. “They leave for economic reasons, like most migrants around the world.”
Cubans are often granted asylum after they assert what’s known under U.S. law as “credible fear” of persecution, typically for political or religious reasons. The deputy foreign minister is, not surprisingly, skeptical of such claims.
“When they reach the border, they claim that they have a credible fear if they if they are returned,” he said. “But then they’re accepted, and once they get residence the first thing they do is get a passport and move back to Cuba.”
Cuba wants the U.S. to stop routinely granting asylum, end the economic embargo and take other measures that it says encourage migration and to restore consular activities so people can legally travel back and forth from the island with visitor visas.
Operations at the U.S. embassy in Havana were severely curtailed beginning in 2017 after the emergence of unexplained health problems among some employees.
Cases of what became known as “Havana Syndrome” became a major issue during the Trump administration, which rolled back the rapprochement between the United States and Cuba that had been initiated by former President Barack Obama.
Fernandez de Cossio said the Trump administration curtailed visas as part of its “maximum pressure” against Cuba, contributing to the irregular migration occurring now and he welcomed the Biden administration’s commitment to restore visa operations.
“It needs to be done so that people in Cuba can find that there’s a legal normal way to migrate to the United States, which has been lacking since 2017,” he said.

Ulysse works for his brother Xherdan, who, among other things, smuggles refugees into Europe for exorbitant amounts of money. Ulysse dreams of buying himself a bigger motorhome to live in. So he’s been embezzling from his brother to get to his goal faster.
When his brother finds out, he ransacks Ulysse’s home and takes the money back. When Ulysse confronts his bigger, more dangerous brother about it, he realizes just how much greed has corrupted his most personal relationships. When Ulysse is told to ferry a pair of refugees across the Serbian border and they come up short with money, Ulysse is faced with a choice of what’s important in life.
Written and directed by Victor Barges, this intriguing, strikingly shot short drama takes the structure and focus of the character-based drama and turns it into a compelling meditation of greed, trust, love and family, rendered with propulsive, seductive craftsmanship that captures the lurid appeal of having money and power as well as the squalor that sits alongside that wealth.
It begins with a moment on a precipice, as an injured young man talks on the phone outside his car. He tells a motorhome seller that he’s short on money and can’t buy it right away, only to be told that the selling price has gone up. At a loss of what to do, he goes back to his car and tells the unseen people in his backseat that they, in turn, are short on money, and need to give him more. The situation is clear: he’s taking refugees across a border, and he’s shaking them down for more cash.
The storytelling then cycles back further in the past, building up the backstory to this moment. We see Ulysse with his girlfriend India, as well as their sexual problems. The scene is rich with detail and character, revealing an exuberant, brash young man whose confident demeanor belies deeper insecurities. It also reveals Ulysse’s aspiration for a bigger motorhome, as well as a big secret: a big bag of money that Ulysse has been siphoning off from doing jobs for his brother.
Actor Robin Barde plays Ulysse with both an innate youthful brio and a fundamental decency, buried under a streetwise demeanor that’s wary and guarded. And with good reason: his brother and boss, Xherdan — played by actor Kevin Castera — is volatile, louder and domineering. He treats Ulysse more like a lackey and employee, but when Ulysse tries to appeal to their familial bond, Xherdan pushes that idea aside. What people want more than anything, he tells his brother, is money. Without money, there is room for little else. As that idea hangs over Ulysse, he finds himself in a situation where he holds the fate of two people in his hands — as well as the opportunity to squeeze more money for himself.
“Tete de Mule,” which means “as stubborn as a mule” in French, could refer to Ulysse’s sometimes pugnacious way of interacting with others. But it also refer to the tenaciousness required to claw their way up to achieve a dream or a goal. But as Xherdan himself notes, the idea of heaven also means that there is also a hell. And to get close to one’s dreams in a realistic world, you also need money — which can reverse loyalties, betray trust and corrupt something decent and essential within ourselves. It’s a hard choice, but it’s also a hard world.

LAHORE: President Pakistan Cycling Federation (PCF) Syed Azhar Ali Shah on Friday said that the Pakistan cycling team would participate in the forthcoming Asian Track Cycling Championship in New Delhi, India to be scheduled from June 18-22 this year.
In a message to 'The News', Syed Azhar Ali Shah said that the decision about the participation of the national team in the Asian Track Cycling Championship has been taken in the Executive Council meeting of the federation.
He said in this connection, trials for selection of cyclists will be held on May 8 at Cycling Velodrome Lahore. He further informed that in this regard all affiliated units of PCF including Pakistan Army and WAPDA have been directed to field their riders before the selection committee.
Shah advised the team manager to ensure that all those riders who are nominated by them for trial should have a valid passport plus valid cycling license.
He said that in the past the POA did not grant accreditation to PCF in various international sports events due to which the cyclists missed many important international events, adding that the POA must change their attitude towards cycling and give due status to PCF.
Azhar also appealed to the concerned quarters to allow PCF to participate in the coming South Asian Games and Commonwealth Games.

IRVING, Texas (AP)Jerry Kelly had a hole-in-one on the par-3 sixth hole and shot a 5-under 66 on Friday to take the first-round lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ ClubCorp Classic.
”A little more than 180 (yards), but the wind was down a little out of the right and I was going to hit an 8 and ride it, but it would have just been too far moving it right to left,” Kelly said. ”So. I hit a little hold-up 7 in there and it just tracked the whole way and it went in.”
Kelly closed with a birdie on the par-4 ninth at windy Las Colinas Country Club.
”The wind started picking up, so I’m pretty happy with where I sit,” Kelly said.
The 55-year-old Kelly has eight victories on the 50-and-over tour after winning three times on the PGA Tour.
Woody Austin, Scott Parel and Gene Sauers were a stroke back. Jeff Maggert, Lee Janzen, Steven Alker and Rob Labritz followed at 68.
”Kept it in play most of the day, took care of the par 5s, which I think that’s your best chance for birdies because the wind’s so difficult out here,” Parel said.
The tournament features 50 celebrities playing alongside the pros. Ten members of ClubCorp properties also earned spots in the field through regional and national competitions.
Kelly and fellow pro Steve Flesch (69) were grouped with former Chicago linebacker Brian Urlacher and Minnesota receiver Adam Theilen.
Former Dallas quarterback Tony Romo and former NBA player Ray Allen were with David Toms (72) and Alex Cejka (71).
John Daly had a double bogey on the par-4 16th in a 72. He played in a group with Larry the Cable Guy. | https://www.kark.com/sports/golf/jerry-kelly-has-hole-in-one-in-66-leads-clubcorp-classic/ | 2022-04-23T07:09:30Z | https://www.kark.com/sports/golf/jerry-kelly-has-hole-in-one-in-66-leads-clubcorp-classic/ | false | 16 |
ISLAMABAD: The United States, in partnership with Pakistan, has launched a $23.5 million four-year power sector improvement project to address climate change and increase the share of green energy in the overall energy mix of the country.
According to an official announcement made by the US Embassy here on Friday, the United States government, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is partnering with the Pakistani government to launch a $23.5 million, four-year power sector improvement project to address climate change and increase the share of green energy in Pakistan’s energy mix. Through technical assistance to the government and private sector, the project will also improve the management and operations of power transmission and distribution systems, increasing the financial viability, reliability, and affordability of Pakistan’s power system.
“The United States looks forward to advancing our partnership with Pakistan to build a clean, efficient, and reliable electricity generation sector, laying a foundation for sustainable and inclusive growth,” said USAID Mission Director Julie A. Koenen at the launch ceremony. “Through this new initiative, USAID will partner with the government of Pakistan to support the transition to a truly competitive wholesale power market. This will increase private sector participation in an open and transparent manner and support our shared energy reform goals,” she added.
Shah Jahan Mirza, Managing Director of the Private Power Infrastructure Board, praised USAID for its strong partnership, innovation, and sustained cooperation in supporting Pakistan’s transition to clean energy and said he looks forward to continuing the partnership to improve Pakistan’s power sector performance.
Over the last 75 years, the US-Pakistan partnership has improved Pakistani lives by building dams and transmission lines, responding to humanitarian emergencies, and combatting shared challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and water vulnerabilities.
To expand Pakistan’s energy supply, the United States and Pakistan have built three dams– Gomal Zam dam in South Waziristan, Satpara dam in Gilgit Baltistan, and Golen Gol dam in Chitral, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, adding 143 megawatts of electricity to the national grid – and together have rehabilitated the Mangla and Tarbela dams and three thermal power plants, and connected more than 860 megawatts of commercially-funded wind and solar projects to the national grid.

Person sets themselves on fire outside US supreme court
A person set themselves on fire outside the US Supreme Court on Friday, a spokeswoman said - the second incident to raise alarm near the Capitol in Washington in a week.
“At approximately 6:30 p.m., an individual went onto the plaza in front of the Supreme Court building and set themselves on fire,” Supreme Court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe said in a statement.
For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
“This is not a public safety issue,” she said, adding that no one else was injured.
No details about the person’s health, identity or motives were provided.
“A medical helicopter just landed near the Capitol for a medical emergency,” US Capitol Police tweeted shortly after the incident.
The helicopter landed on the plaza and airlifted the person to a local hospital, McCabe said.
The area was inaccessible and under investigation on Friday.
The incident comes days after the Capitol was evacuated when authorities sounded a threat alarm over a harmless parachute stunt.
The alarm was triggered by a US Army parachute demonstration team’s flyover at a nearby baseball stadium as part of a pre-game show.

PARIS (AP) — President Emmanuel Macron is in the pole position to win reelection Sunday in France's presidential runoff, yet his lead over far-right rival Marine Le Pen depends on one major uncertainty: voters who decide to stay home.
A victory in Sunday's runoff vote would make Macron the first French president in 20 years to win a second term.
All opinion polls in recent days converge toward a victory for the 44-year-old pro-European centrist — yet the margin over his nationalist rival appears uncertain, varying from 6 to 15 percentage points, depending on the poll.
Polls also forecast a possibly record-high number of people who either vote blank or stay at home and don't vote at all in this second and final round.
The April 10 first-round vote eliminated 10 other presidential candidates. Who becomes France's next leader will largely depend on what people who backed those losing candidates do on Sunday.
The question is a hard one, especially for leftist voters who dislike Macron but don’t want to see Le Pen in power either. A second term for Macron relies in part on their mobilization, prompting the French leader to issue multiple appeals to leftist voters in recent days.
"Think about what British citizens were saying a few hours before Brexit or (people) in the United States before Trump's election happened: ‘I’m not going, what’s the point?’ I can tell you that they regretted it the next day,” Macron warned this week on France 5 television.
“So if you want to avoid the unthinkable ... choose for yourself,” he urged hesitant French voters.
The two rivals both appeared combative in the final days before Sunday's election, including clashing Wednesday in a one-on-one televised debate.
Macron argued that the loan Le Pen’s party received in 2014 from a Czech-Russian bank made her unsuitable to deal with Moscow amid its invasion of Ukraine. He also said her plans to ban Muslim women in France from wearing headscarves in public would trigger “civil war” in the country that has the largest Muslim population in Western Europe.
“When someone explains to you that Islam equals Islamism equals terrorism equals a problem, that is clearly called the far-right,” Macron declared Friday on France Inter radio.
In his victory speech in 2017, Macron had promised to “do everything” during his five-year term so that the French “have no longer any reason to vote for the extremes.”
Five years later, that challenge has not been met. Le Pen has consolidated her place on France's political scene, the result of a years-long effort to rebrand herself as less extreme.
Le Pen's campaign this time has sought to appeal to voters struggling with surging food and energy prices amid the fallout of Russia’s war in Ukraine. The 53-year-old candidate said bringing down the cost of living would be a top priority if she was elected as France’s first woman president.
She criticized Macron's “calamitous” presidency in her last rally in the northern town of Arras.
“I'm not even mentioning immigration or security for which, I believe, every French person can only note the failure of the Macron’s policies ... his economic record is also catastrophic,” she declared.
Political analyst Marc Lazar, head of the History Center at Sciences Po, told the AP he thinks that Macron is going to win again. Le Pen "has this lack of credibility," he said.
But if Macron is re-elected, "there is a big problem," he added. “A great number of the people who are going to vote for Macron, they are not voting for this program, but because they reject Marine Le Pen.”
He said that means Macron will face a “big level of mistrust” in the country.
Macron has vowed to change the French economy to make it more independent while protecting social benefits at the same time. He said he will also keep pushing for a more powerful Europe.
His first term was rocked by the yellow vest protests against social injustice, the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. It notably forced Macron to delay a key pension reform, which he said he would relaunch soon after reelection, to gradually raise France's minimum retirement age from 62 to 65. He says that's the only way to keep benefits flowing to retirees.
The French presidential election is also being closely watched abroad.
In an opinion piece Thursday in several European newspapers, the center-left leaders of Germany, Spain and Portugal urged French voters to choose him over his nationalist rival. They raised a warning about “populists and the extreme right” who hold Putin “as an ideological and political model, replicating his chauvinist ideas.”
A Le Pen victory would be a “traumatic moment, not only for France, but for European Union and for international relationships, especially with the USA," Lazar said, noting that Le Pen "wants a distant relationship between France and the USA.”
In any case, Sunday's winner will soon face another obstacle to be able to govern France: A legislative election in June will decide who controls a majority of seats in France's National Assembly.
Already, the battles promise to be hard-fought.

Surely fans and critics believe that the no-ball controversy could be avoided if only the on-field umpires would have asked for a review from the third umpire, however, with them being adamant, things did not go in favour of the Delhi Capitals (DC), who lost the match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 15 runs.
The wrong decision by the umpires had even left the DC dugout furious and fans saw skipper Rishabh Pant along with other players and coaching staff get on the field and argue which has now led to them breaching TATA Indian Premier League's (IPL) Code of Conduct.

MSNBC Anchor Compares Parental Rights Legislation from DeSantis, Youngkin to Russian Troops Raping Children
You’ve got to hand it to Nicolle Wallace, host of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House”: When she goes over the top, she doesn’t do it by half-measures.
During a segment on Wednesday’s edition of the show, Wallace said Republican Govs. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Glenn Youngkin of Virginia, in signing parental rights legislation in education, were engaging in a “tactic of war” that could be compared to Russian troops raping young children.
(Both governors have merely given parents more say over what’s being taught in their schools — something we’ve supported here at The Western Journal. We’ll keep fighting for parents to have control over what’s being said in the classroom. You can help us by subscribing.)
According to The Daily Wire, the discussion originally focused on a Democratic Michigan state senator who was accused by a Republican state senator, in a fundraising email, of “grooming and sexualizing children” because of her stance on how gender identity and sexual orientation are taught in the classroom.
That nasty spat, Wallace said, reminded her of DeSantis and Youngkin’s parental rights bills. Which, in turn, reminded her of Russian war crimes against children. A natural progression, as you can no doubt imagine.
“You and I even fall into a tradition of our profession of focusing on what works, and I think we recently had a conversation about [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell, why does he do what he does, because it works, it’s a political reality,” Wallace said.
“I worry that in covering Glenn Youngkin and his politics of ‘parental choice,’ all the focus was on how well it worked,” she continued. “And even in our conversations about DeSantis, it’s about how well they’re serving him.”
“The truth is dehumanization, as a tactic for politics, is from war,” she added.
“Dehumanization is a — it’s a tactic, it’s being used right now. The Russians get their soldiers to rape children by dehumanizing them. Dehumanization, as a practice, is a tactic of war.
“It is being deployed in our politics, and people like you and I sometimes lose the plot and admire its effectiveness — not its substance, but even the analysis of these tactics loses sight of what this speech brings us back to which is that dehumanization has a cost right now. Right now, as it’s being deployed.”

One minute, you’re dehumanizing people using the “politics of ‘parental choice,'” which is code for … giving parents choice over how their children are educated. The next thing you know, you’ve got Mariupol all over again. A clear logical leap.
This, quite shockingly, had competition for the most outlandishly offensive claim made during the segment. That’s because former Republican campaign strategist Matthew Dowd, now a thoroughly bewoked Democrat, claimed that if Christ were around in 2022, “he would be called a groomer.”
BREAKING: Chief Bush-Cheney advisor: “If Jesus Christ was alive today, he would be called a groomer” pic.twitter.com/6he4MCIKhM
— Jack Posobiec ☦️ (@JackPosobiec) April 20, 2022
“The Easter holidays, the entire message of the Gospels of the Easter holidays, was ‘Love one another,’” Dowd said. “And I have said this before, and I’ll say it again: If Jesus Christ was alive today, he would be called a groomer. He would be called woke. And he would be called a socialist, if he was alive today.
“If he was speaking the message he spoke in the Gospels today about treating everybody with dignity — Jesus Christ hung around with prostitutes and tax collectors. He was nailed to a cross because he spoke on behalf of the most marginalized people in the Middle East.”
It’s worth noting that both Dowd and Wallace are alumni of the 2004 George W. Bush-Dick Cheney presidential campaign and now grift as former conservatives who have Seen The Light™. Given the outré nature of these clips, it’s not unfair to ask what was in the water on the campaign bus cooler that year.
But then, these are just more extreme versions of arguments we’ve seen from a whole swath of liberaldom freaking out about any bill that returns power in public education to parents, particularly if that power involves sex education.
We’re just now coming out of weeks of the left screaming about a “Don’t Say Gay” law in Florida that didn’t say gay once but merely prohibited instruction in gender identity and sexual orientation in children from kindergarten through third grade. We all thought that was bad.
Now we have a panel on MSNBC bringing up DeSantis and Youngkin’s parental rights bills and drawing a direct line between them and Russian troops raping children. Oh, and Republicans would probably crucify Jesus Christ for being a groomer while they were at it, because why not?
This is how much parental control over education scares liberals.
If you don’t get why this fight is important, simply look at the scorched-earth tactics they’re willing to use to preserve their power in the classroom.

LOWER MERION – Lower Merion officials say over 150 deer were harvested through this year’s annual deer culling.
The township conducted six days of culling that took place between February and April.This year, 152 deer were harvested in Lower Merion, bringing the total short of last year’s high mark of 207.
Last year’s high of 207 harvested deer also allowed the township to donate over 6,000 pounds of meat to local food banks.
Although there was some controversy when the program started over a decade ago, township officials say it has been conducted safely and there have never been problems.
“It is done township wide and of course, our number one priority is the safety of the residents and everybody involved in the process,” McGrath said. “We’ve never had a negative incident related to our deer culling program.”
Lower Merion began its deer culling program in 2009 when 119 deer were harvested from the township.
Since the program began in 2009, 1,565 deer have been removed from the township after a total of 82 days of culling. | https://www.timesherald.com/2022/04/22/lower-merion-reports-over-150-deer-taken-out-in-latest-round-of-deer-culling/ | 2022-04-23T07:28:21Z | https://www.timesherald.com/2022/04/22/lower-merion-reports-over-150-deer-taken-out-in-latest-round-of-deer-culling/ | false | 1 |

Hari Idul Fitri, which in English directly translates to Eid al-Fitr’, is an Indonesian man who usually goes by his first name Hari.
“I was born during Eid al-Fitr in 1981 at 3am in Jakarta, on the 1st of Shawwal. My own father did not know the reason for giving such a name when I asked. However, I am still proud of this name,” he told Kompas.com when talking in Probolinggo on Friday 22nd April 2022.
Hari is a Probolinggo, East Java, native is the third child of his parents, Moh Haris and Horini. Currently, he works as an honorary driver at the Probolinggo District Education Office as well as running a business selling used vehicles.
He guessed his father didn’t want to bother looking for a name since he was already born on a momentous Muslim day. Proud and moved over the name decision, he considers it to be a gift from his parents because aside from celebrating Eid after a month of fasting, that day is also his birthday.
“I feel like my birthday is celebrated by all Muslims because it coincides with Eid al-Fitr,” he chuckled.
Due to his unique name, many people didn’t believe it was his real moniker, especially for identity data collection. Officials have been known to laugh until they are convinced with proof.
“When I show my KTP (ID card) or driver’s license, only then do they believe that my name is Hari Idul Fitri,” he said while showing his ID card, driver’s license and kartu keluarga. | https://indonesiaexpat.id/news/unique-indonesian-name-hari-idul-fitri/ | 2022-04-23T07:34:32Z | https://indonesiaexpat.id/news/unique-indonesian-name-hari-idul-fitri/ | false | 1 |

Inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR
2G Energy AG plans share split following a capital increase from company funds
Heek, 21. April 2022 - The Management Board of 2G Energy AG (ISIN DE000A0HL8N9) resolved today, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to propose that the annual general meeting scheduled for June 3, 2022 should adopt a resolution to apply Company funds from EUR 4,485,000.00 in the amount of EUR 13,455,000.00 to increase the Company's capital to EUR 17,940,000.00 (as per §§ 207 ff. of the German Stock Corporation Act). It is intended to carry out the capital increase by issuing 13,455,000 new bearer shares each representing a nominal EUR 1.00 in capital stock, with the effect that three new shares will therefore be issued for each old share. Subject to the resolution being approved by the annual general meeting, the new shares will carry an entitlement to share in profits with effect from January 1, 2022.
The existing interests in the Company currently held by shareholders will not be altered in any way either by the increase in capital out of Company funds or by the share split. In the event that the proposed resolutions are approved by the annual general meeting and the amendments to the articles of association are entered in the Commercial Register, three new shares will automatically be issued for each existing share.
An expected consequence of the then increased number of shares in the company by a factor of 4 (share split) is a corresponding adjustment of the stock exchange price and, as a consequence, an even higher attractiveness, especially for private investors, and a further increase in liquidity in stock exchange trading.
It is anticipated that the agenda for the 2022 annual general meeting including the proposed resolutions will be published in the Federal Official Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) at the end of April 2022.

Marine Le Pen will blow a hole under the waterline of the West’s response to the Ukraine crisis if she is elected president of France on Sunday.
She will take France, the EU’s sole major military power, out of Nato’s integrated command and demand a weaker line from the Alliance in the face of Vladmir Putin’s illegal invasion.
She will undermine EU efforts to sanction Moscow which will encourage Putin to continue his bloody war in the face of a divided response to his aggression.
Ms Le Pen claims to have “compassion” and “solidarity” for the suffering of Ukrainians but the National Rally leader has a long track record of public admiration for Vladimir Putin.
She has called for a rapprochement with Moscow as soon as the war in Ukraine is over, which stands in stark contrast to Britain’s insistence that “Putin must fail”.
Her National Rally MEPs voted in the European Parliament against sanctions on Russia for the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014.
Emmanuel Macron calls Putin Ms Le Pen’s “banker”. Her hard-Right party received a €9 million loan from a Russian bank allegedly close to the Kremlin, which she explains away by complaining no French bank would lend to her.
Ms Le Pen may have pulped campaign literature showing her meeting the Russian president but a glance at her policies show where her loyalties lie.
Nato’s US-led integrated command structure deploys forces made avaliable to it by member countries, which Ms Le Pen opposes on sovereignty grounds.
The vast majority of troops at Nato’s disposal are controlled by member countries but during certain security threats or missions, those troops come under Nato control.
France rejoined the command structure in 2009 after leaving it in 1966. Leaving it again would not mean quitting Nato or giving up the obligation to defend fellow Alliance members.
But, at the very least, it will introduce uncertainty among the Alliance, especially among the Baltic nations, and encourage those tempted to appease Mr Putin.
It would raise questions over the future of French reinforcements sent to Romania to bolster Nato’s flank at a time when Western unity is vital.
Ms Le Pen has said she will block any EU sanctions hitting Russian oil and gas if she can spring a surprise victory over incumbent Emmanuel Macron.
In a televised debate with Mr Macon on Wednesday, she said energy sanctions amounted to France committing “hari kiri” because of the impact on the cost of living.
The EU has so far imposed five rounds of unprecedented sanctions against Russia, including moves to ban coal.
This is not enough but is a diplomatic achievement because such measures need the backing of all 27 member states.
It is increasingly likely that an oil embargo will follow. Gas has proved more difficult because of opposition from Germany and Hungary, which are heavily dependent on Russian imports.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz has ruled out an immediate ban on gas but Germany is moving slowly toward weaning itself off its addiction to Kremlin-controlled imports.
That may be unsatisfactory but it is better than Ms Le Pen’s refusal to entertain energy embargoes altogether.
Mr Macron has backed tough EU sanctions that are costing the French economy, committed troops to Eastern Europe in a new battlegroup, sent weapons to Ukraine and been influential in forming Nato’s response to the crisis.
He has rightly been criticised for pursuing failed diplomacy with Putin but there is no question whose side he is on.
If Volodymyr Zelensky had a vote in Sunday’s elections, he would cast it for Mr Macron. | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/04/23/marine-le-pens-election-could-mean-nato-ukraine/ | 2022-04-23T07:52:23Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/04/23/marine-le-pens-election-could-mean-nato-ukraine/ | true | 1 |

Mike Tyson Reveals the Moment That Made Him Snap, Pummel Punk on Plane
Boxing great Mike Tyson says the man he punched on a plane this week was drunk and provoked him into the altercation.
A video went viral on Thursday showing the former heavyweight champion punching a JetBlue airline passenger multiple times in the face after the man repeatedly taunted him.
But Tyson’s representatives said in a statement that he threw his punches only after the “aggressive” man threw a water bottle at the 55-year-old “Iron Mike,” the New York Post reported Friday.
TMZ Sports reported that Tyson had posed for a selfie with the passenger and his friend when they first boarded the flight. But the man kept bothering Tyson after the photo.
The video posted by TMZ showed the passenger sitting behind Tyson and chattering, mugging for the camera and pestering him.
There is an edit in the video before the recording then shows Tyson reaching over from his own seat and pummeling the man as another passenger tried to push Tyson away from the altercation.
The video ends with the man Tyson pummeled making a sad face and pointing to the contusions on the right side of his face.
Sources told TMZ that the man Tyson punched was “extremely intoxicated … and wouldn’t stop provoking the boxer in his seat.”
But now Tyson’s camp is saying the provocation was more than just verbal.
“Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat,” Tyson’s representatives said, according to the Post.
The San Francisco Police Department issued a statement about the incident on Twitter.
“On Wednesday April 20, 2022 at approximately 10:06 PM, officers assigned to the SFPD Airport Bureau were dispatched to a physical altercation onboard an airplane located at the Domestic Terminal” of the San Francisco International Airport, it said.
“Officers arrived and detained two subjects that were believed to be involved in the incident. One subject was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries. That subject provided minimal details of the incident + refused to cooperate further with the investigation,” the department said.
It said both subjects were released pending further investigation.

Violence is almost always a bad idea, but sometimes people earn the ire with which they are confronted. The video clearly shows that the passenger was constantly pestering Tyson.
It is a bit hard to understand what he expected from the boxing champion, but alcohol apparently played a role in his actions.
The incident seems to have provoked more sympathy for Tyson than for the man he punched.
Rapper and actor Ice T had no sympathy for the passenger:
Mike Tyson punched somebody who was Fn with him……. The problem is nowadays, MFs think they WON’T get punched in the Face…
— ICE T (@FINALLEVEL) April 21, 2022
And UFC chief Dana White had an amusing bit of advice for folks:
Hey dummies, for future reference, this is how you stay alive when bumping into @MikeTyson on an airplane. pic.twitter.com/gJFoKOtmkO

India has agreed to extend an additional USD 500 million credit line to help Sri Lanka import fuel, Finance Minister Ali Sabry said, amid delays in chalking out a bailout package with the IMF to mitigate the dire financial crisis facing the island nation.
Sri Lanka has been struggling to pay for imports after its foreign exchange reserves plummeted sharply in recent times, causing a devaluation of its currency and spiralling inflation.
“India has agreed to provide an additional USD 500 million for our fuel imports,” Sabry said on Friday, while adding that he was hopeful that New Delhi would consider handing out another USD 1 billion dollars as a credit line. India has already agreed to defer USD 1.5 billion in import payments that Sri Lanka needs to make to the Asian Clearing Union.
On Friday, New Delhi has also extended the tenure of a USD 400 million swap given in January this year, the Indian High Commission said. Sabry is currently in Washington to negotiate a programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The finance minister said that talks have begun on an Extended Fund Facility, but the finer details of the programme are yet to be finalised.
Sri Lanka needs at least USD 4 billion to tide over its mounting economic woes, and Sabry has been holding talks with international institutions such as the World Bank as well as countries like China and Japan for financial assistance.
“It will be a difficult period in the next nine months. During that time there is a need to bring in more investments in US dollars into the central bank. We are talking with several countries. If these efforts are successful, and if investment of about USD 2 billion comes to the central bank, it will help stop the depreciation and stabilise the rupee,” Sabry said. On April 12, Sri Lanka suspended its debt servicing for the first time in its history.
Last week, the Sri Lankan government said it would temporarily default on USD 35.5 billion in foreign debt as the pandemic and the war in Ukraine made it impossible to make payments to overseas creditors. Sri Lanka has been witnessing mass anti-government protests in recent weeks as it suffers food shortages, soaring fuel prices and major power cuts due to the unprecedented financial crisis. | https://www.financialexpress.com/economy/india-extends-additional-usd-500-million-credit-line-to-sri-lanka-for-purchasing-fuel/2501232/ | 2022-04-23T08:02:48Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/economy/india-extends-additional-usd-500-million-credit-line-to-sri-lanka-for-purchasing-fuel/2501232/ | true | 9 |
Remembering Gabriel Garcia, Latin American writing giant
What you need to know:
- Renowned for his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967), Garcia Marquez died in Mexico on April 17, 2014.
- He was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature.
It was my friend, the surgeon and writer Yusuf K. Dawood, who first recommended the late Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s literary works to me. It was Dawood who also introduced me to one of Europe’s and the world’s greatest authors of the 18th Century, Ireland’s Oliver Goldsmith. This particular piece, though, is a belated elegy to Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Born Gabriel Jose de la Concordia Garcia Marquez, on March 6, 1927, in Aracataca, Colombia, the late Garcia Marquez, renowned for his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967), died in Mexico on April 17, 2014, aged 87.
He was variously a novelist, a short story writer, a screenwriter and journalist. Considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th Century, particularly in the Spanish language, he was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Starting off as a journalist, he wrote many acclaimed non-fiction works and short stories, though he is best known for the novels One Hundred Years of Solitude, Chronicles of A Death Foretold (1981) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985).
His works have achieved significant critical acclaim and widespread commercial success, most notably for popularising a literary style known as “magic realism”, which uses magical elements and events in otherwise ordinary and realistic situations.
Some of his works are set in the fictional village of Macondo (mainly inspired by his birthplace, Aracataca) and most of them explore and portray the thematic motif of solitude. He culled up material for his works from stories told to him by his maternal grandparents, Col Nicolas Ricardo Marquez Mejia and Dona Tranquilina Iguaran, by whom he was largely raised as his father, a pharmacist, and mother farmed him and his brother out, beginning in 1936.
His grandfather taught him lessons from the dictionary and took him to the circus each year, and the house, according to Garcia Marquez, was filled with stories of ghosts and premonitions, omens and portents. Garcia Marquez spent his first years of high school, from 1940, in the Colegio Jesuita San Jose, today known as Instituto San Jose, where he published his first poems in the school magazine Juventud.
Later he was sent to study in the capital Bogota, later relocating to the Liceo Nacional de Zipaquira where he finished his secondary school studies. After his graduation in 1947, he stayed in Bogota to study law at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. He was inspired by La Metamorfosis by Franz Kafka. And his own first published work, La Tercera Resignacion, appeared in the September 13, 1947 edition of the newspaper El Espectador.
He continued with law studies, to please his father, in 1948. However, after the Bogotazo riots of April 9, which followed the assassination of Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, a popular leader, the university closed indefinitely and Garcia Marquez’s boarding house was burned down.
He would transfer to the Universidad de Cartagena and begin working as a reporter for the El Universal publication. In 1950, though, he ended his law studies to focus on journalism and moved back to Barranquilla, where he’d once stayed as a young man with his parents, to work as a columnist and reporter for the newspaper El Heraldo.
Between 1945 and 1955, Garcia Marquez spent time in Bogota, writing for El Espectador and working as a film critic. In 1957, he accepted a position in Caracas, Venezuela, with the magazine Momento, under the directorship of his friend Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza. In Venezuela, he witnessed the 1958 coup that led to the exile of president, Marcos Perez Jimenez, before resigning the same year to became editor of the newspaper Venezuela Grafica.
He also dabbled in politics and foreign policy discourse, publishing Changing The History of Africa (1991), an analytical study of the Cuban involvement in the 1975-2002 Angolan Civil War and the 1966-1990 South African border war. And he forged friendships with powerful political figures such as Cuba’s Fidel Castro. He also wrote for El Independiente.
He married Mercedes Barcha in 1958, and their first son, Rodrigo Garcia, now a television and film director, was born in 1959. Garcia Marquez’s first known published novella, Leaf Storm (1955), took seven years to find a publisher. And his other works include In Evil Hour (1962), Before Night Falls (1992), Autumn of The Patriarch (1975), The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Erendira and Her Heartless Grandmother, adapted into the film Erendira (1983), Chronicle of A Death Foretold (1981), Love In The Time of Cholera (1985), News of a Kidnapping (1996), a period piece on the Pablo Escobar-led Medellin cartel in Colombia in the early 1990s and Living to Tell the Tale and Memories of My Melancholy Whores (2002), the first of a projected three-volume autobiography.
Garcia Marquez was also the founder and executive director of the Film Institute in Havana, Cuba, and head of the Latin American Film Foundation. Also adapted into film, in 2010, was his novel Of Love and Other Demons.
The writer is a votary of global peace, historian, writer, thinker and founder Public Affairs Volunteers for Global Peace and Climate Justice (PAVGPCJ).

Dear Amy: My older sister is 75 and unmarried.
She has three grown children in their 50s. I am eight years younger than she.
My sister has always avoided aging and seems in denial about mortality.
When I visited the family a few months ago for her 75th birthday party, my niece expressed concern to me that my sister has made no provisions for death or unexpected illness.
She has no will, power of attorney, advance medical directive, or burial or cremation instructions. Attempts by my niece and her siblings to discuss any of this with my sister are quickly dismissed. My sister refuses to talk about it.
Last year I shared with my sister my general estate plan, including the fact that I have a will, power of attorney, trust, and advance medical directive, and gave the names of my appointees.
I had hoped that sharing such information might nudge her to do similar planning. No luck. My niece is concerned that she and her siblings will be left holding the bag to make critical medical and other decisions for their mother without any idea of what she would want, and that the three siblings might not agree.
This is not about monetary inheritance, as my sister doesn’t have a lot of money. My niece has asked me to try to influence my sister to at least prepare an advance medical directive and burial or cremation instructions.
Should I stay out of this or get involved — and, if so, how?
– Concerned Sister
Dear Concerned: Yes, you should attempt to speak to your sister about this. It might be best not to overwhelm her with estate planning, but do encourage her to appoint a health care proxy as a start.
Given that you are savvy, well-prepared, and substantially younger than your sister, might you be the right person to take this on?
My home state has health care proxy forms and very easy to understand instructions on the state’s government website. A directive can be simply worded or very detailed. You will need two witnesses but (in my state) it is not necessary to have it notarized.
Do a search for the state your sister lives in, discuss the forms with her, and if she would like you and you are willing, fill the forms out with her and notify her children of her decision. She can always change her mind later.
Dear Amy: My grandmother was married and widowed four times. Her resting place remains unmarked because the family had a very ugly argument about what should go on her headstone.
It has been 20 years now. All of her children have passed away.
I would like to put a nice headstone up for her, but have no idea what to put on it.
She had children with the first two husbands, so I do think that it might be appropriate to use all of her names. What do you suggest?
– Wondering
Dear Wondering: It is such a good thing for you to finally mark your grandmother’s gravesite.
My answer is assuming that your grandmother’s four husbands are not buried in this particular family plot.
If I were doing this, I would include her full birth name, as well as her final surname (assuming that she legally took her last husband’s surname). I would also include her children’s names, if allowable.
For instance: Mary Besemer Clark Jones (birth and death dates)
Loving mother of Stacy Randolph Carter (birth and death dates)
And Steven Alden Fox (birth and death dates)
The cemetery will have guidelines and suggestions. Some cemeteries will only allow names of people included on headstones if those persons are actually buried in that plot. Make sure to check with the cemetery director before you make your decision.
Dear Amy: Several years ago, you suggested that a woman “make friends with her fears,” name them “Stan,” then tell Stan to “get lost.”
Like everyone, I have my issues. The most destructive to me are my tendency to live in the past and to hold grudges.
Every time I start re-living negative events from my past, I tell my “Stan” I simply don’t have time for him now, and then deliberately distract myself, just like you said.
IT WORKS! Immediately and easily!
I’m a lot happier, now that I’ve made friends with Stan.
– A Friend of Stan
Dear Friend: I remember writing that advice, and although I am unable to find the original column, I’m so happy you’ve made friends with your own “Stan.”

'Mister Mourinho, you remain one of us' - Why Inter still can't take their eyes off 'ignoble' Roma boss
When Jose Mourinho returned to San Siro to face Inter for the first time, the Curva Nord welcomed him "home" by singing his name to the tune of 'Can't take my eyes off you'.
It's always felt like such an appropriate choice of song for one of the game's most compelling characters.
Love him or loathe him, Mourinho has always made for great TV.
Editors' Picks
Depending on which direction your moral compass is pointing, the Portuguese is either an anti-establishment anti-hero never afraid to speak his mind, or a shamelessly outspoken narcissist who deflects attention away from his failings and failures as a manager with unfounded, controversial claims.
Whatever the truth, Mourinho has proven himself adept at upsetting the narrative, which is what makes his next meeting with Inter so intriguing.
However, Wednesday's 3-0 triumph over their city rivals in the Coppa Italia showed that Simone Inzaghi's side are very much back on track.
Indeed, looking at their remaining Serie A fixtures, alongside those of fellow title challengers Milan and Napoli, the way now seems clear for Inter to retain their Scudetto.
Of course, defeat on Saturday would signal yet another shift in momentum in this enthralling three-horse race.
There are those that believe that Mourinho will make for an ideal guest, that he will make all the right noises about trying to win the game, and probably partake in his customary post-match rant about referees, without really wanting to disrupt Inter's title charge.
However, this is also a big game for Roma, who have not yet given up on qualifying for next season's Champions League.
They trail fourth-placed Juventus by five points with five games remaining. Overhauling the Bianconeri will be difficult, but not impossible.
After all, Massimiliano Allegri's desperately dour side still have to face two relegation-threatened sides in Venezia and Genoa, the always awkward Sassuolo, Maurizio Sarri's unpredictable Lazio and bitter rivals Fiorentina – and negotiate a massive Coppa Italia final with Inter in between.
Roma are also a side that nobody wants to face right now, in every sense.
Mourinho arguably has a point when he says that the Giallorossi don't get the credit they deserve for some of the fine football they play.
They undeniably boast some of the league's most exciting attacking talents, in Tammy Abraham, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Jordan Veretout and the enigmatic Nicolo Zaniolo.
Unfortunately, though, what happens on the touchline in Roma games is often of greater interest to the media - and that is down to Mourinho and his coaching staff.
The Portuguese has been waging a verbal war on match officials all season along, but the situation has escalated in the past two weeks, taking a decidedly dark turn.
Roma goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos was involved in a physical altercation with Bodo/Glimt coach Kjetil Knutsen which resulted in both men being suspended by UEFA.
While both men claimed self-defence, the Norwegian club were outraged by the decision, with Knutsen admitting that he even considered quitting football altogether.
"What happened is so far from my values, those of the club and of Norwegian football," he told an.no. "In these situations, you need to find the strength in yourself and react in the best possible way.
"The most important thing for me is being able to look yourself in the mirror. If I couldn’t do that anymore, I would really have to consider if this was worth it."
Knutsen added: "[Mourinho's] type of attitude is shocking. His values and his way of coaching are so far from what I represent.
"It’s incredibly disappointing to see such behaviour from a coach with so many titles and who has been part of the sport for such a long time."
Nobody else who has followed Mourinho's career was in the least bit surprised, of course.
He has plenty of previous, so there was little shock when he found himself at the centre of another ugly episode just a few days later, when another member of Mourinho's coaching team disgraced himself by mocking Salernitana over their likely relegation from Serie A.
“I tell the truth, not like some clubs or the police," he told reporters. "Someone on my bench told the Salernitana staff they were going to Serie B. I went to apologise for the lad who said that.
"We are civilised people, what happens on the field ends there. Nobody will be waiting outside 45 minutes later to punch someone in the face."
However, Salernitana director Walter Sabatini wasted little time in tackling Mourinho's claim that he and his staff were "civilised", accusing them of "ignoble behaviour".
“With every refereeing decision, everyone pours onto the pitch from the bench, it’s unjustifiable," he fumed in an interview with DAZN. "We can lose to Roma, but not like this."
Sabatini then pre-empted Mourinho's typical response to such accusations by sarcastically adding, "I know full well as soon as he hears this he will say I’ve never won anything and therefore cannot speak.
"But the fact remains I am really p*ssed off. I love my club, we want to stay in Serie A and have every right to respectful treatment.
“I have not won 25 trophies, but I am a serious person and deserve respect nonetheless. But I see arrogance."
He's not the only one. In Roma's very next league outing, against Napoli, Mourinho accused the officials of conspiring against his side. An unsurprised Luciano Spalletti simply refused to respond.
It will be fascinating, then, to see if Mourinho and his staff prove just as combative at San Siro.
It seems unlikely, of course. This is a mutual love likely to stand the test of time.
When he visited Milan earlier this season, he met with Inter fans, who presented him with a plaque which read, "To Mister Jose Mourinho. Your professional career will take you anywhere, but you are and will remain one of us."
When he returned for that 2-0 Coppa Italia final loss in February, meanwhile, Inter trio Steven Zhang, Beppe Marotta and Javier Zanetti gave him a silver, crystal-covered model of San Siro.
"I can only thank them," Mourinho said, "and never disguise the fact my rapport with Inter is eternal."
This unbreakable bond is, of course, rooted in the treble-winning campaign of 2009-10.
In the eyes of Inter fans, then, Mourinho really can do no wrong.
A touchline dust-up or a post-match war of words might test that loyalty at San Siro on Saturday but, in truth, the Nerazzurri will probably forever remain in Mourinho's thrall.
The care little for the controversy he continues to court. If anything, they love him for it.
More than a decade after his departure, Inter still can't take their eyes off him. | https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/mister-mourinho-one-of-us-inter-eyes-on-ignoble-roma-boss/blt566914c39e8078c7 | 2022-04-23T08:15:10Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/mister-mourinho-one-of-us-inter-eyes-on-ignoble-roma-boss/blt566914c39e8078c7 | false | 10 |
STUART, Fla. (AP) — Some people spend their retirement traveling the world or relaxing at home. Sid Pennington spends his trapping the invasive lizards threatening native wildlife in his community.
Pennington, 60, has singlehandedly captured at least 117 Argentine black and white tegus from the woods and neighborhoods in western Fort Pierce where he lives.
In September, after the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission saw how skilled Pennington was at catching nonnative tegus on his own, biologists lent him 20 traps and recruited him as a volunteer. He’s caught 31 this year alone.
“I grew up being a big reptile guy,” said Pennington, a former employee at the St. Lucie Nuclear Plant. His first catch was a female tegu in 2019, measuring just under 4 feet long. “I don’t want them to be here. But it is fun.”
Tegu populations spreading in Florida
With sharp teeth and scaly black-and-white splotches, tegus may be spreading faster than biologists can trap them. The state has no definitive population estimate, but residents have reported at least 132 sightings in St. Lucie County through 2021. Sixty percent of those sightings came from Pennington.
The South American lizard’s appetite for the eggs of native animals — such as killdeer, alligators and gopher tortoises — and its ability to flourish in cooler environments has prompted a strong response from FWC. If tegus start spreading north, it could wreak havoc on native species already straining from habitat loss and overdevelopment.
This St. Lucie County population likely originated from escapes or releases stemming from the exotic pet trade, according to FWC nonnative biologist Dan Quinn. The species is now successfully breeding in three other Florida counties: Charlotte, Hillsborough and Miami-Dade.
Over 12,000 tegus statewide have been removed from the wild to date.
“They’re starting to make a foothold here,” Quinn said of Fort Pierce during a news conference off Rock Road Wednesday. “Since 2016, when the first tegu was reported, we’ve seen an uptick in reports. We think it’s possible the population is increasing in this area.”
Most sightings have been recorded west of Florida’s Turnpike, with a majority of the reports south of Orange Avenue and north of Okeechobee Road, according to the FWC. Sightings have been verified over three miles apart.
There’s also been periodic sightings of individual animals in Martin and Indian River counties, which are likely released pets and not part of an established population, Quinn said.
There’s strong evidence tegus are affecting native species across Florida. A lizard caught in Charlotte County had gopher tortoise eggs in its stomach. University of Florida researchers in 2014 documented a tegu eating alligator eggs.
In April 2021, the FWC deemed tegus a “high risk” species, and banned owning or breeding them. The remaining tegus in captivity can live out the rest of their life, but any future sales are prohibited.
Tegus are lured to traps by chicken eggs and are then humanely killed, Quinn said.
“The vast majority of sightings (in St. Lucie County) have happened in the last two years,” Quinn said.
FWC seeks help from public
When it comes to removing invasive species, state wildlife biologists have their hands full. The FWC has removed thousands of Burmese pythons from the Everglades, overseen a multiyear statewide effort to kill lionfish from Florida waters and actively encourages iguana removal.
Tegus are now the latest animal on the list of problematic species, and the state has spent roughly $1.3 million since 2016 to reduce the population, according to FWC spokesperson Lisa Thompson. A female tegu can lay roughly 35 eggs annually.
As temperatures increase with climate change, cold-blooded invasive species will spread wider and faster. A population of tegus, for instance, has already been recorded in Georgia.
This past week, FWC outreach teams sent 3,800 mailers to St. Lucie County homes near where tegu sightings were documented and placed five informational signs along busy roadways. They’ve also visited hundreds of houses in the area, distributing brochures that read: “How you can help stop the spread of an invasive lizard.”
The goal is to inform the public and encourage documenting verified reports, Quinn said.
“We suspect more people are seeing them and not reporting them,” he said. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Wildlife-officials-need-help-catching-invasive-17121424.php | 2022-04-23T08:19:22Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Wildlife-officials-need-help-catching-invasive-17121424.php | true | 18 |

This month, four planets, along with the moon, will align. While not rare, this type of event doesn’t occur often. It has only happened five times in the past 17 years — which makes it worth viewing. Here’s where to look, when to look, what to look for and what equipment you need to see this event.
What does it mean when planets align?
If you read a lot of science fiction or watch a lot of movies about space, you might be inclined to believe planetary alignment is a linear phenomenon. That is not the case. You cannot take a ruler and draw a straight line through the four planets that are aligning this month. When astronomers talk about planetary alignment, all it means is the planets will be visible in the same general region of the sky.
Which planets are aligning?
Planetary alignment isn’t something that happens fast like an eclipse. It takes time. As the planets orbit, they gradually fall into alignment. For example, Saturn, Mars and Venus have been in alignment for over a month. Roughly a week ago, Jupiter joined the crowd. During the last week of April, you will also be able to see the moon in the predawn sky. For those in the ideal location in the Northern Hemisphere, such as the coast of North Carolina where there is a clear southeastern view of the horizon over the ocean, in the second week of June, you may be able to see Mercury as well. Unfortunately, most of us will not be able to view this phenomenon, so right now is the best chance to see this celestial event.
Where and when to look to see the planetary alignment
To see the alignment this month, you will need to be facing southeast and looking closer to the horizon — not up overhead. The less obstructed your view of the horizon is, the better your chances are of seeing all four planets. As far as timing, experts say your best viewing window will open roughly 45 minutes to an hour before sunrise.
What to look for
If you are new to astronomy, you might desire a few tips to help you find what you are looking for in that predawn hour. The first and most important thing to remember is you are looking for planets, not stars. Planets are easier to locate because there are much fewer of them than stars. The way to tell you are looking at a planet is simple: The glow will remain steady. Stars, on the other hand, twinkle.
To find the four planets, look for Mars first. This will be the easiest to locate, as it will appear as an orange dot. Looking up and to the right, the slightly larger white dot is Saturn. Looking down and to the left, you will see two more white dots. These will be Venus and Jupiter, respectively. Depending on when you look, Venus and Jupiter may be very close or they may overlap.
What you need to see the planets in alignment
While you will be able to see some planets with your naked eye, to have the best experience, it is recommended that you use something that can enhance your vision.

Which battery charger is best?
As more and more devices use electric power, the need for batteries — and battery chargers — has grown. Many modern devices include a battery, including cars, boats and smaller-scale items. Depending on what device you’re hoping to charge, different chargers will work best for you.
The Schumacher 100-Amp Smart Car Battery Charger is an excellent pick for charging cars and other heavy-duty devices.
What to know before you buy a battery charger
Types of battery chargers
- Smart chargers: These include a microprocessor that automatically turns the charger off once the battery is fully charged. While safer and more useful than basic chargers, they also tend to be more expensive.
- Trickle chargers: Some batteries lose charge when not being used, which is where trickle chargers come into play. Trickle chargers slowly deploy power, even when batteries are fully charged, preventing them from slowly losing charge. Most can’t be used on lithium-ion batteries.
- Manual chargers: These work on a more continual basis, though they make it a little harder to avoid overcharging than smart chargers. They also tend to be cheaper than smart or trickle chargers.
Battery type
The type of battery you hope to charge can help determine which battery charger works best for you. Whether you need a charger for a car, boat or household device, you may need a specific one to charge your batteries correctly. You can ensure a universal charger will work by cross-checking your device’s voltage with the options provided by variable-voltage chargers.
Battery charger sizes
Chargers also vary in the size of battery they can charge. For example, chargers for rechargeable AA and AAA batteries usually come in a specific size to fit them. In contrast, universal chargers, car chargers and other large chargers include large clamps to be attached the positive and negative electricity ports on your battery. Make sure your charger is adequately sized for your battery or device.
What to look for in a quality battery charger
Battery compatibility
First and foremost, make sure your charger is compatible with the types of batteries you hope to charge. The most common types are lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, nickel-cadmium and lead-acid. If you aren’t sure what kind of battery you have, search online or contact the manufacturer before choosing a charger.
Charging speed
If you need your battery charged quickly and frequently, it might be worth investing a little extra money in a fast-charging charger. Battery chargers have varying charging speeds. While some can charge a battery in just 15 to 30 minutes, most take between one and 10 hours to charge.
Charger capacity
While most heavy-duty battery chargers for cars, boats and other large machinery only charge one device at a time, others charge multiple devices simultaneously. Depending on the number of devices or batteries you hope to charge at a time, different charger capacities will work better for you.
How much you can expect to spend on a battery charger
For cheap chargers used for household batteries and other small-scale power storage tech, expect to spend $5-$15. Mid-tier chargers can cost $15-$40 and usually get you a smart charger. Expensive chargers may cost $40-$100 — with some costing even more.
Battery charger FAQ
Are battery chargers universal?
A. Most are not. Before buying, check that your charger supports the kinds of batteries you plan to charge.
Do battery chargers go bad?
A. Eventually, yes. Bad batteries and bad chargers may seem similar when tested, but a charger with no power flowing through it indicates that it’s time for a replacement.

Hull City head coach Shota Arveladze admits he's desperate to show the supporters how much his side love playing in front of them at the MKM Stadium, when the Tigers host Reading on Saturday in their penultimate home game of the Championship season.
Last Friday's 2-1 win over Cardiff City ended the Tigers' dreadful run of six straight defeats at the MKM Stadium, lifting the gloom hanging over Arveladze's home tenure as boss, and the visit of the relegation-threatened Royals gives the Tigers a genuine opportunity to make it successive victories.
With a final day showdown with promotion hopefuls Nottingham Forest to come before the curtain comes down on their first season back in the Championship, Arveladze is determined to give the supporters a 90-minute display to remember. against a side who know they could seal their safety in east Yorkshire.

“We want to show our own supporters that we love to play football, especially at home,” Arveladze said. "When they come and support us, we always want to give them the maximum we can. It’s all about the game we want to find. We’ve had (periods during) the last six or seven games, but not for the entire game.
“We’ve had some golden times. We want to see this for (the entire) 90 minutes, so we’re working on that.”
On the subject of facing Paul Ince's Reading, Arveladze was full of praise for the character of the Royals, after fighting back from 4-1 down to earn a sensational 4-4 draw at home to Swansea City last time out, and knowing they can secure safety, the Georgian boss is expecting a challenging encounter. “I’ve seen their last few games,” he explained.
“They’re a team that wants to play football from the back. They want to build, and have good wingers and strikers. They play some good football. You could see their character in their comeback from 4-1 down to make the game even (against Swansea). He (Paul Ince) has something to build (on).” | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/shota-arveladze-sends-message-hull-6985789 | 2022-04-23T08:45:53Z | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/shota-arveladze-sends-message-hull-6985789 | true | 1 |

Every Tuesday, we publish four global Top 10 lists for films and TV: Film (English), TV (English), Film (Non-English), and TV (Non-English). These lists rank titles based on weekly hours viewed: the total number of hours that our members around the world watched each title from Monday to Sunday of the previous week.
We consider each season of a series and each film on their own, so you might see both Stranger Things seasons 2 and 3 in the Top 10. Because titles sometimes move in and out of the Top 10, we also show the total number of weeks that a season of a series or film has spent on the list.
To give you a sense of what people are watching around the world, we also publish Top 10 lists for nearly 100 countries and territories (the same locations where there are Top 10 rows on Netflix). Country lists are also ranked based on hours viewed, but don’t show country-level viewing directly.
Finally, we provide a list of the Top 10 most popular Netflix films and TV (branded Netflix in any country) in each of the four categories based on the hours that each title was viewed during its first 28 days. For titles that are Netflix branded in some countries but not others, we still include all of the hours viewed.
All of the weekly lists and weeks in the Top 10 on the site start from June 28, 2021.
Weekly reporting is rounded to 10,000 to account for any fluctuations in internet connectivity around the world.
We engaged EY – an independent accounting firm – to review the weekly lists from July 6, 2021 to January 4, 2022. See report here.

Kalou: Ivory Coast do not need an overhaul and must take cautious approach to rebuild
Former Ivory Coast international Salomon Kalou believes the country does not need a total overhaul for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Instead, the 36-year-old former Chelsea striker has called on the Ivorian Football Federation to take a cautious approach as they plan for the qualifiers, whose finals the West African country will host.
Editors' Picks
“We don’t have to throw away all the good things, but we can make better the things we were lacking,” Kalou said as quoted by BBC Sport Africa. There are some great things we did in the past cup. We lost against Egypt on penalties but Egypt, a very tough opponent with a good level, reached the final.
“So let’s not question everything that we have done but work on what didn't work.”
Last month, Ivory Coast confirmed the exit of coach Patrice Beaumelle after missing out on the World Cup play-offs and a last-16 exit from this year’s Nations Cup, in Cameroon.
Kalou now believes they must go for the right man to replace Beaumelle.
“We need to find a good coach, then this coach would create balance between old and young players,” Kalou continued. “We have to build a team, because to perform in this type of competition you need a team, one player can't do everything. Without a good team, you just cannot win a tournament."
On Ivory Coast being drawn in Group H of the qualifiers alongside Zambia, Comoros, and Lesotho, Kalou said: “I think this is a way of preparing ourselves because we are not playing to qualify, we are playing to prepare a team.
“It's a challenge for the new coach coming in, he has to build a competitive team. As the host of the competition, we have to go all the way.
“Once you are playing at home, you get extra motivation from the fans. It can be hard pressure but it's also a positive one because when you play well you have the support of the whole country.”
Kalou believes when Ivory Coast next host for the Afcon, Africa will enjoy their hospitality.
“In my generation, we never had the luck to play this competition at home, so this is an opportunity to host such a big competition for the continent,” added Kalou, who managed 93 appearances for the Elephants and scored 27 goals.
“It was about time, and I don't know why we waited so long to host. Who doesn't want to play home on such a big stage of football? Receiving all those top teams at home is something any player could dream of.
“But now it's at home, we have to work very hard to make it a success. People are looking forward to it - they can’t wait to host this cup. Following the success in Cameroon, we want to do the same.
“We have some good food in Ivory Coast and people are going to enjoy themselves.” | https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/kalou-ivory-coast-do-not-need-an-overhaul-and-must-take-cautious-/bltb26ee6bf1eda11e2 | 2022-04-23T09:11:08Z | https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/kalou-ivory-coast-do-not-need-an-overhaul-and-must-take-cautious-/bltb26ee6bf1eda11e2 | true | 10 |
TRIESTE, Italy - The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) and Norwegian Fridtjof Nansen-class frigate HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen (F310) arrived in Trieste, Italy, while the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS San Jacinto (CG 56) arrived in Porto di Marghera, for scheduled port visits, April 23, 2022.
Since arriving to the Mediterranean Sea in December, the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG), including Truman, Fridtjof Nansen and San Jacinto, have routinely operated alongside the Italian Armed Forces.
“Prior to our visit, we sailed alongside our Italian partners at sea during multiple operations with the aircraft carrier ITS Cavour (C 550) and several Italian surface ships,” said Rear Adm. Curt Renshaw, commander, Carrier Strike Group 8. “All involved demonstrated our ability to integrate seamlessly.”
Key maritime integration events have included tri-carrier operations among HSTCSG, the ITS Cavour carrier strike group and the FS Charles de Gaulle carrier strike group, as well as Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1’s combined operations with the Italian Air Force. Truman has continued supporting NATO’s defensive capabilities by participating in enhanced Air Policing (eAP) mission on the Alliance’s Eastern flank.
Though bolstering US commitment to the NATO Alliance is key to Truman’s presence in the region, routine port visits provide the opportunity to reinforce our enduring connection with Italy. Capt. Gavin Duff, Truman’s commanding officer, emphasized the importance of multinational cooperation demonstrated by routine port visits.
“A significant aspect of this deployment is centered on our longstanding relationships with European Allies and Partners, to include Italy,” said Duff. “In the same way we have benefited from our training with the extraordinary professionals of the Italian Navy and Air Force, we are grateful for the opportunity to experience the culture, history and generosity of the Italian people.”
Echoing Capt. Duff’s comments on the importance of port visits to overall cultural exchanges and interpersonal relations among Allies and Partners, Cmdr. Glen Atherton, San Jacinto’s executive officer, spoke to the benefits of port visits to all involved.
“The Sailors in this strike group have been doing a phenomenal job in contributing to the NATO mission,” said Atherton. “This port visit is a great way for our crew to relax from the daily demands of being out to sea.”
Truman is the flagship of the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG); additional elements of the carrier strike group include the nine squadrons of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, commanded by Capt. Patrick Hourigan; the staff and guided-missile destroyers of Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 28, commanded by Capt. Todd Zenner, which include: USS Bainbridge (DDG 96), USS Cole (DDG 67), USS Gonzalez (DDG 66), USS Gravely (DDG 107) and USS Jason Dunham (DDG 109); the Royal Norwegian Navy’s Fridtjof-Nansen class frigate HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen (F310), deployed as part of the Cooperative Deployment Program; and San Jacinto, commanded by Capt. Christopher Marvin.
The strike group is on a scheduled deployment in the U.S. Sixth Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to maintain and generate maritime stability and security, for the U.S., and Allied and Partner interests in Europe and Africa.

For Wexler, ‘Last First Day’ Reveals a ‘Cruder and Less Naive’ Teen Universe – LIVE
Eleonoira Wexler, the singular policewoman of “Last first day”
The actressEleanor Wexlerplays a policewoman in“Last first day”a criminal thriller set in a high-class high school that lands this Thursday on the Flow platform, and in a chat with Telamhighlighted that the series reveals a teenage universe“cruder and much less naive”.
“Until now, no Argentine fiction had shown anything else”Wexler said in statements to this agency during the presentation of the fiction directed by diego palace (“Post mortem”, “Stockholm”) that he leads together with the Spanish actor Marc Clotet, Rafael Spregelburd, Ana Celentano Y Juana Viale.
The cast, eminently youthful, is completed with Minerva Casero, Santiago Achaga, Lautaro Rodríguez, Lion Federico Bagnis, Candela Saitta, Diego Benedetto Y Augustine Benavidez.
The series, co-produced by StoryLab and written by Lucas Molteni, Nacho Viale, Sol Levinton, Ricardo Morteo Y diego palaceoffers a period fresco where excesses, hormones, the eternal adolescent search to belong and an unexpected tragedy coexist.
It is that in the midst of the lack of control of a party of the “last first day” of fifth year, organized by students of a prestigious school in a coastal city, between synthetic drugs and sex, Joaquín Vergara (Clotet), the charismatic biology teacher, is murdered. of the institution.
The crime takes place while Victoria Duval (Wexler), a police officer who had been transferred to the City of Buenos Aires after the death of her daughter, returned to her hometown to throw her ashes into the sea.
With a starting point for the character reminiscent of other female investigators on the small screen with their own scars who risk everything to solve a crime, such as the journalist played by Amy Adams in “Sharp Objects” or the police officers played by Kate Winslet in “Mare of Easttown” and Elisabeth Moss in “Top of the Lake”, Duval will look for more than just those responsible in the investigation.
“She decides to take the case to investigate who killed him and because, in addition, there is some healing in relation to the tragic death of her daughter”advanced the actress with more than four decades of experience, who recently headed “Yo nena, yo princesa” in cinema and shone in theater with “La maldecida de Fedra”.
“To put together my character, I imagined a woman who was a police officer from a coastal town and the towns have this “small town” thing, where everyone knows everyone.”
In each of the eight episodes that make up the proposal, Agent Duval will conduct interrogations with skill and detail in order to unravel the secrets that can help answer the unknowns of the case.
Télam: What was it about this proposal that seduced you?
Eleonora Wexler: Diego Palacio, Nacho Viale in Storylab, told me “we have a story that I would like you to read to see if it suits you”. So I started reading all eight chapters and devoured it. Right there I told him “I want to do it”. I liked this thriller thing mixed with this world of teenagers, moments of drama, characters who seem to have a lot to hide and, in the middle, this policewoman who decides to take on the case because, somehow, the crime is related to the death of his daughter.
T: What challenges did you have playing Victoria, who in addition to being a policewoman is a mother who lost her daughter?
EW: If you see her in flashbacks from the past she wasn’t the Victoria she is now: losing her daughter in such a horrible way blocked her feelings and she went to work. Everything else had no more place.
T: In Argentina, the Police is an institution associated with an imaginary that is not usually positive, how was it to build your character from that place?
EW: To put together my character, I imagined a woman who was a police officer from a coastal town and towns have this “small town” thing, where everyone knows everyone. But I did not work on her from the side of a “policewoman” but from that of a mine that she dedicates herself to, she likes what she does and based on what she experiences, she becomes much more addicted.
T: From the title, the series aims to reflect a very recent tradition related to lack of control and a conceptualization of the adolescent who is not usually represented on the screen…
EW: I have a teenage daughter who is about to turn 18 and after doing this series I started to ask myself: “what’s up? How much do I know about what she does? And on the “last first day” we adults are the ones who allow certain things too. I think there is something that comes with adolescents and that is that now there are certain prejudices that no longer exist related to sexuality, so there are no labels. In fact, the name of the series was going to be that because there are no real labels: they are, they feel, they live.
T: What is the challenge for national fiction to position itself in a market with so much supply?
EW: The more supply there is, the stronger we have to become as an industry and raise the bar of what we are going to tell more and more. There is talent, there are directors, there are authors, there are actors, very talented people behind the camera and every time the bar has to be higher to be able to compete. | https://codelist.biz/2022/04/21/for-wexler-last-first-day-reveals-a-cruder-and-less-naive-teen-universe-live/ | 2022-04-23T09:17:30Z | https://codelist.biz/2022/04/21/for-wexler-last-first-day-reveals-a-cruder-and-less-naive-teen-universe-live/ | true | 3 |

Ben Simmons is eyeing an NBA playoffs return for Brooklyn next week, admitting he's been a frustrated spectator as Boston look to go up 3-0 in their first-round series.
The Nets have suffered one and seven-point losses to the Celtics so far, with game three on Sunday (AEST) and Simmons no chance of suiting up.
The Australian is recovering from a back injury and hasn't played all season, finally securing a trade from Philadelphia in February after falling out with the 76ers following his part in their limp 2021 playoffs exit.
Watch the latest sport on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >>
The 25-year-old took part in four-on-four scrimmages this week and is hopeful of debuting for the Nets in a clutch Game 4 on Tuesday (AEST).
"That's what I'm here for," he said.
"I've got to get on the floor and help this team win.
"I've been traded to the Brooklyn Nets and that's what they need me to do.
"It's so frustrating (not being able to play). But I'm doing what I can, being vocal on the bench.
"Every time I watch a basketball game (I'm thinking) 'he should be there, he should cut', different things, that's how I'm wired."
Coach Steve Nash has been careful not to pressure the maligned All-Star into a rushed return.
But Simmons' elite defence could swing the tide, particularly if he can curb the influence of Boston star Jayson Tatum and ease the load on Kevin Durant.
The Celtics won the series opener 115-114 on Tatum's buzzer-beater, holding Durant to nine-of-24 shooting in that game and forcing him into six turnovers.
Boston erased a 17-point deficit in Game 2 and held Durant to four-of-17 shooting with another six turnovers.
Durant missed all 10 field goals in the second half.
"It's on me to just finish it and figure it out," Durant said.
"I'm not expecting my teammates or the defence to give me anything. I just got to go out there and play."
Simmons thinks he can make an immediate difference though.
"I think it'll be fine, personally," he said.
"There's some things on defence where I look at it and I think I can make a big impact in terms of just being vocal on the floor and helping my teammates and being a leader on that side of the court.
"And then offensively, obviously I like to get out and push the ball. We have guys who want to run and shoot the ball a lot, so I'm looking forward to that aspect and playing with a team that wants to run."

Tyson Fury claims he is not 'untouchable' and 'just got lucky 32 times in a row' as the Gypsy King admits he and Dillian Whyte 'get on like a house on fire' but promises their Wembley bout will be a war
- Tyson Fury is set to defend his WBC heavyweight title against Dillian Whyte
- The two Brits will do battle in front of 94,00 fans at Wembley on Saturday night
- At 18st 12lbs 13oz, the Gypsy King could fight at a distance and frustrate Whyte
- But the 33-year-old insisted his defence in not impregnable ahead of the bout
Tyson Fury insisted he is not 'untouchable' as he prepares to shake off a fight week free of animosity and go to 'war' against Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
Fury weighed 18st 12lbs 13oz on the eve of his WBC heavyweight title defence, nearly a stone lighter than six months ago when he knocked out Deontay Wilder in a thrilling third fight between the pair.
Speculation has persisted throughout the build-up that Fury may look to keep the fight at a distance and frustrate Whyte, but the self-styled 'Gypsy King' was adamant his defence is not impregnable.
Tyson Fury insisted he is not 'untouchable' as he prepares to face Dillian Whyte at Wembley
Fury weighed 18st 12lbs 13oz at his weigh in, nearly a stone lighter than six months ago
While he has beaten everyone he has faced, Fury was downed four times in his trilogy against Wilder and also had to rise from the canvas to beat Neven Pajkic in 2011 and Steve Cunningham two years later.
'I'm not sure about all this outboxing - unless I'm Houdini, I can definitely hit them all, for sure, but I've definitely been hit before,' said Fury, who has won 31 and drawn one of his 32 fights.
'I've been bounced off the canvas more times than a bouncy ball. I'm not this untouchable boxer everyone thinks I might be. I'm just a normal boxing man who has got lucky 32 times in a row, I think!'

Fury and Whyte were training partners on several occasions earlier in their careers and there have been conflicting accounts between the duo on social media at what happened during their sparring sessions.
When they have been together this week, though, there has been a surprising lack of friction, with the bonhomie continuing at Friday's weigh-in, where Whyte (28-2, 19KOs) scaled 18st 1lb 4oz.
'(Whyte is) a decent bloke,' added Fury. 'He's got some morals and we got along like a house on fire in training camps.
'He's definitely a fearless guy, I've sparred him a lot in the past and he didn't show any weaknesses at all. I'm not going to sit here and slate the fella because I've not got anything to slate him on.'
Fury, 33, and Whyte, 34, were in playful spirits at the final stare down. The 6ft 9in Fury emphasised his five-inch height advantage by standing on his tiptoes at BOXPARK Wembley and Whyte played along by crouching down, with the pair shaking hands, trading baseball caps and sharing wide grins.

They then briefly danced on stage alongside one another but Fury, who has repeatedly suggested he will retire whatever the outcome this weekend, was clear the mood will be different when they next meet.
'We're going to give you a real fight,' said Fury. 'Don't doubt us, we're going to put a show on like no other before. It's going to be a war, don't worry about that.'
This will be Fury's first fight on UK soil since August 2018, with his last five bouts in the United States, and it is expected to attract an estimated 94,000 spectators - a post-war British record.
If he does follow through with his plan to hang up his gloves then he is spurning the chance to face either Oleksandr Usyk - the current WBA, IBF and WBO champion, titles all previously held by Fury after he beat Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 - or another domestic rival in Anthony Joshua.
If Fury retires he is spurning the chance to fight either Oleksandr Usyk (right) or Anthony Joshua (left)
'I'm not interested,' added Fury. 'There's no belts that I haven't already won or already got that would bring me back.'
While Fury was more aggressive in beating Wilder for the WBC title in February 2020 and then again in October last year, Whyte has been unimpressed by his fellow Briton's more usual fighting style.
'Fury's style is boring,' said Whyte. 'Now he's a bit more exciting and in his last few fights he was able to stand and trade with Wilder.
'Wilder is dangerous but not that good, so Fury could stay in the pocket and outwork him and outhustle him, because Wilder didn't do anything up close apart from throw that big right hand from range.
'People have been saying 'Tyson Fury, he's exciting'. No he's not, he beat up Deontay Wilder three times. Three years prior, no one cared about Tyson Fury fights. The fights were boring.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-10745773/Tyson-Fury-vs-Dillian-Whyte-Gypsy-King-claims-not-untouchable-ahead-Wembley-war.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-23T09:27:52Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-10745773/Tyson-Fury-vs-Dillian-Whyte-Gypsy-King-claims-not-untouchable-ahead-Wembley-war.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 12 |
Dear Oppa: A Minoz from India gushes about how she 'fell for Pachinko star Lee Min Ho at first sight'
Minoz and new fans alike are going gaga over Lee Min Ho's delectable performance as Koh Hansu in Pachinko. While we've come to accept nothing but brilliance from the mega talented and ultra handsome Hallyu star, with classic and hit dramas like Boys Over Flowers, The Heirs, The Legend of the Blue Sea and The King: Eternal Monarch under his impressive repertoire, the fandom witnessed Lee Min Ho in a drastically different light when it comes to his "different shades of grey" character and versatile acting range in Pachinko.
Today's heartwarming letter in our Dear Oppa series has been penned by Sohany Rahman from Bangladesh to Lee Min Ho. Read her letter (Note: This letter was sent on January 10, 2021) below:
Dear Lee Min Ho oppa,
I am Sohany from Bangladesh. I know that your worldwide fans are more than the total population of South Korea. I don't even know if you will read my letter or not. But I'm hoping that you will read it.
You are like a sunshine to me. I had first fallen for you after seeing the drama "The Heirs". You are such a damn cute person. I fell for you at first sight. Your talking skills, your acting each and every gesture of yours strongly attracts me towards you. "The Legend of the Blue Sea" drama was really really funny and romantic. When your "The King: Eternal Monarch" was released I was so desperate to watch it, but I resisted myself for the two months to watch it as a whole. And when the last episode released I completed watching the drama in three nights staying awake.. When I knew the news about your struggle with your career, your accident it totally broke my heart. We can't feel how you felt when your dream of being a soccer player shattered, but we obviously support in your every dream that you will be dreaming. I can't imagine what would've happened in this lockdown if I hadn't engaged myself watching your dramas.
I'm waiting for your next drama Pachinko. Aah, a few days ago we watched your video with Lee Seun-gi oppa, that was so damn cute that I don't know how many numerous times I watched it. Especially when your mom was calling you out and you replied, that part is so cute.
I am now studying medicine and the Medical System of South Korea attracts me a lot and I really want to go to South Korea. I hope one day my this dream will come true.
Till then stay healthy oppa, coz after that whenever you will feel sick please come to me so that I can treat you.
Love You oppa,
Sohany Rahman
From Bangladesh..

Maha: Seven doctors from GMCH Yavatmal booked for medical negligence over teenager's death
- Country:
- India
An offence has been registered against seven doctors of the government medical college and hospital (GMCH) in Maharashtra's Yavatmal for medical negligence over the death of a 16-year-old boy last year, police said on Saturday.
Based on a complaint lodged by the mother of the boy, who died in September 2021, a case under section 304 (A) (causing death by negligence) of the IPC was registered at Lohara police station on Wednesday, an official said.
The complainant has stated that her son, who was suffering from sickle cell disease, was admitted to the GMCH on September 18, as he was vomiting profusely, he said.
During the course of the treatment, the boy was shifted from one ward to another following discussions about which department would be treating him and he was subsequently moved to the medicine ward, where he died, the official said.
The complainant had alleged medical negligence by seven doctors, including four junior residents, of the casualty department, he said.
The boy's mother also lodged a complaint with the hospital's dean who set up a three-member panel to probe the incident, the official said, adding that the report from the dean indicated mistakes by the doctors. PTI COR CLS ARU ARU

The Republican Party is facing a new moment of reckoning tied to its top leaders and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
It follows the release of two private audio conversations involving House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, including a new tape in which he claims Trump admitted some responsibility for the insurrection.
"I've been very clear to the president: He bears responsibility for his words and actions, no ifs ands or buts," McCarthy is heard telling the House Republican conference in a Jan. 11, 2021 call. "I asked him personally today does he hold responsibility for what happened? Does he feel bad about what happened? He told me he does have some responsibility for what happened ... And he needs to acknowledge that."
That tape was released on Friday as part of a book tour for New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns, who have shared new details about the Republican ire that played out behind closed doors soon after the siege.
A day earlier, Martin and Burns shared another McCarthy tape from a Jan. 10, 2021 House Republican leadership call. Before the audio was released late Thursday, McCarthy had denied he recommended Trump resign during that call. However, the tape exposed that was a lie.
But that lie might not mean much to McCarthy's hopes to be the next House speaker if Republicans win control of the chamber next year.
While McCarthy faces a tricky conversation with his conference, which could come when the House returns from a 2-week recess next week, the ultimate judge is likely Trump. For now, many of the revelations exposed in the calls mimic concerns McCarthy shared publicly in the early days after the attack.
And while such new details upend the stories that Republicans have told about the siege or Trump's role in it since, their members often return to their central mantra, which is unwavering loyalty to Trump.
A long list of GOP leaders and other members were clearly furious after the attack, including McCarthy, Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, but they and others returned to the fold soon after.
And while members of GOP leadership have remained largely quiet in the wake of the McCarthy tapes, rank and file members offered a mixed view. For example, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz accused GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, one of two Republican members on the House select Jan. 6 committee, of leaking the tape to the New York Times and told McCarthy that he should have listened to him.
While I was rallying in Wyoming against Liz Cheney…

But South Carolina's Nancy Mace, who is facing a tough re-election fight, shared her early support for McCarthy in an appearance on Fox Business on Friday.
"Water under the bridge," Mace said. "This is kind of, I don't think a story that's going anywhere, but I support him wholeheartedly."

Most of you are probably like me in that you have become used to calling your doctor’s office and hearing a recorded message telling you that, if this is an emergency, hang up and call 911. This also happens when I call the pharmacy.
No big deal, really. I can see someone being in a panic over a medical issue or a prescription medicine problem and calling those numbers. However, I did not expect to get that response when I called my cellphone provider. I recently called my cellphone provider with a question about my account, and I received a message thanking me for my call, and, if this was an emergency, to hang up and call 911.
I later had a good laugh about it. I mean, who is calling their cellphone provider in case of emergency? “Oh no, I’m seriously injured, so I better call my cellphone provider.” Or, “I think I may have broken my leg. Better call my cell phone provider.” Obviously, no one is doing that, but the good people who manage my cellphone account seem to think it is a possibility.
Consider that when Jesus was criticized for sitting down to a meal with “sinners,” he had this reply; “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I’ve not come to call the righteous but sinners (Mark 2:17).”

The best place to look for healing and recovery from the wounds life has inflicted upon us is to seek God. Would I call a plumber for an electrical problem? Of course not. Or would I call a roofer for an electrical situation? No, I would contact the one most qualified to meet my need. When it comes to spiritual needs, and we all have them, our best resource is faith in God. Philosopher Henry David Thoreau once said that “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.” I know this is true because I have had moments when I was so emotionally shattered that I wondered how I could cope and move forward. I have spoken with people who in moments of candor confessed to carrying a heavy burden known only to them. My friends, we need not carry our burdens alone or struggle through life by ourselves.
If you feel you are at the end of life’s rope, talk to you doctor, pastor or a counselor. And as you do so, be sure to consult the Great Physician. Christ is always ready to listen and help us in our times of need. Do not give up. Life is worth living.

Keith Maitland’s documentary, “Dear Mr. Brody” recounts the absolutely wild 15 minutes of fame that Michael Brody, a margarine heir, captured in 1970 when he announced he’d give away millions of dollars to anyone and everyone.
All they had to do was ask.
Brody’s story is ultimately a tragic one. Some combination of family trauma, drug use, mental health issues and the people who surrounded him led to his giveaway flaming out almost instantly. Brody himself spiraled out of control first in, and then out of, the glare of the ensuing media frenzy.
But what makes Maitland’s movie poignant and powerful are the scenes focusing instead on the people in need, who wrote letters by the thousands or showed up outside Brody’s door.
It started when Melissa Robyn Glassman, who was working for Hollywood producer Ed Pressman, uncovered in his office a seemingly endless cache of unopened letters that had been sitting in tubs for nearly half a century. She contacted her college roommate, Sarah Wilson, who was a photographer hoping she’d take pictures of some of the artwork accompanying the letters.
Wilson is married to the documentarian Maitland who pitched Glassman and Pressman on the idea of a documentary telling the story of Brody but also of the letters. They even tracked down some of the letter writers or their children and had them re-visit that tumultuous period in their lives and in American history. (Glassman appears on camera and is a producer; Wilson serves as cinematographer and producer.)
The film will be on Discovery+ on April 28th. Maitland and Glassman recently spoke by video about the movie, the letters, the people they met along the way. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Q. Melissa, what was your reaction when you first found the letters?
Glassman: I didn’t know the volume at first. There was just one box on the floor and I asked if I could open it. All the letters were sent to the same person and postmarked 1970, so it was like a time capsule.
When you open a letter that has never been opened, you’re letting the person’s story out after sitting somewhere unacknowledged for 50 years. There’s something magical about that.
The ones that were most interesting to me were the ones that felt you were reading someone’s diary, where they were spilling open their heart and lives to a stranger.
Q. Were there people who were resistant to telling their story on camera?
These people are older folks and when we’d call and say, “We’re calling about a millionaire who was giving away money,” we kept finding people who had been warned by their middle-aged children to be aware of scammers. We had to convince people we weren’t trying to pick their pocket.
But we also discovered a trend among older men — this work relies on people being vulnerable, and so many said, “I’m not interested in reflecting on that part of my life; it was a low point and I’ve picked myself up and gotten through that.” When I’d say there’s something to be learned from their experiences, they swatted the idea away. That was disappointing but also enlightening.
Q. What happens to the letters now? Will you keep opening them and reaching out to people?
Maitland: We hope to continue reaching out in some small way. We do open some at film festivals and screenings.
We have a fantasy about doing a podcast or DVD bonus features, but there isn’t funding for that, so unless some hippie millionaire watches the movie and says, “Let’s keep it going,” I’m not sure we’ll be able to.
Glassman: Most are in an archive at Columbia University now. They are organizing them by state so people can come in and look at them.
Maitland: It’s a great resource for screenwriters. There’s so much narrative in these letters; they’re like versions of “The Grapes of Wrath.” One woman told us off-camera some other details about how the log cabin her family was living in then was actually a historic building on a Civil War battleground. The steps to the cabin were grave markers. They were squatting but the community looked the other way because the family was so poor.
Q. What do you ultimately make of Brody’s intentions and can you tease out how much his drug use and mental illness factored into his actions?
Maitland: One frustration is that we never get to know Michael fully. The people who knew him had their own perspective, but it was difficult to paint a full portrait. I see a young man who had grown up with all the privileges of wealth but none of the advantages of family and connection.
When he found connection and family with Renee [a woman he bought drugs from and married soon after], he chose to express that in a big bold way.
Michael and Renee attended Woodstock four months before this whole thing and I think his intentions at the start are really good – they’re noble and bold and a reflection of the ‘60s. He thinks he can inspire other millionaires to join his quest and make significant change.
Q. Any chance millionaires or billionaires will see your film and be inspired to give directly to individuals on a grand scale, albeit in a more thought-out and pragmatic way?
Maitland: We never had any fantasy our film might inspire that, but Mackenzie Scott has given away more money in the time we made this film than I can conceive of. And we saw an article about a man in Albany who gave away $100 a day and $1000 once a month for a year to people in need. There are artists on Twitter saying, “If you send me your college report card and got straight A’s, I’ll cover next semester.” So there is an inclination for direct giving.
And there’s the fantasy of Universal Basic Income, which would reshape our society drastically.
Glassman: My hope is that people who see it are inspired on a personal level to give, not just financially but to take care of each other. The letters to Brody that were most inspiring were people saying, “I don’t have a lot of money, but here’s two dollars to help when your money runs out.”
Maitland: I really saw in the letters that some of the most generous people are the ones who are themselves under the greatest pressure. They can empathize with others in a way the truly privileged rarely can.
I just had lunch with a wealthy woman to hit her up for money for a new project, just $5,000 to get the ball rolling. I got every kind of “Yeah, but” obstacle. I told her, “I’ve discovered that people who have an extra $1500 in their life will give you $1000 but if you ask people who have an extra $150,000, what you get is a bunch of questions and concerns.”
Q. How did she respond?
It went right over her head that I was talking about her.
Q. Did the letters change your outlook toward money or life?
Maitland: Melissa also always made note of the people who weren’t writing about money but who were writing to say thank you for making me sit down and think about what matters to me, to weigh the question of what I have in my life.
That’s a lesson I always need to be reminded of — to have gratitude for what I have, the opportunities I’ve been given and not to dwell on what I don’t have or the failures.
If the film gives people a chance to check into their lives and see the world in a different way, then I think it’s a success. | https://www.dailybreeze.com/2022/04/22/a-millionaire-hippie-aimed-to-give-money-away-it-didnt-go-well-as-dear-mr-brody-shows/ | 2022-04-23T09:45:05Z | https://www.dailybreeze.com/2022/04/22/a-millionaire-hippie-aimed-to-give-money-away-it-didnt-go-well-as-dear-mr-brody-shows/ | false | 11 |
Hundreds of trees planted in Norfolk towns for Queen's Jubilee
- Credit: Breckland Council
Hundreds of trees have been planted in Attleborough and Watton in honour of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Breckland Council has joined the Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) campaign by planting more than 700 trees in the towns to celebrate Her Majesty's 70 years of service and to make the district an "even greener and more beautiful place".
The QGC initiative invites communities across the UK to “plant a tree for the Jubilee”.
Breckland Council, working with the Woodland Trust, selected a mix of oak and other varieties for the celebration.
The green space off Blackthorn Road in Attleborough has seen 360 trees planted and 400 off Herron Way in Watton.
Ian Sherwood, the council's lead for sustainability, said: “We’re proud to be part of the Queen’s Green Canopy campaign.
"We worked with the Woodland Trust to identify these two areas as the most suitable places to plant hundreds of trees, and it will be great to think of Breckland residents enjoying them for years and even generations to come.” | https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/local-council/hundreds-trees-planted-attleborough-and-watton-queens-jubilee-8916146 | 2022-04-23T09:51:02Z | https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/local-council/hundreds-trees-planted-attleborough-and-watton-queens-jubilee-8916146 | false | 1 |

And you can I am not talking about just close relationships
Now I enjoy laugh out loud so you’re able to most likely figure out how new “love out loud” feels very similar to me. In fact, the fresh relatives that i like the most are those you to effortlessly transfer to silly-setting with me. Often it’s getting an amusing picture with her, often sharing a joke, either under no circumstances anyway. However it is this unlock “vulnerability” that i like many.
I’ve been blessed that have much enjoying correspondence off of many when you look at the living. Specific most unlock and you may sincere and lots of extremely kepted and perhaps actually secretive (for various reasons). And you can exactly who doesn’t love effect liked? However the biggest cardiovascular system-completing knowledge I have considered had been that have whoever has frankly and you can publicly told you enjoying statements in my experience (either into social network – which i very appreciate because the actually indeed there certain choose to create private messages) and that i very love whenever kind terms is actually spoken individually then followed with consistent steps one satisfy the terms verbal. Now that causes my cardiovascular system melt. Significant relationships with many men and some ladies in my life also have such as gorgeous communication.
I’m writing this short article in this particular blog site since the I consult with many people with/will work thanks to despair on death of a close relationship inside their lives. Some thing I am aware without a doubt happens when each person (as well as myself) envision sadness, one of the better what you should remember are the enjoying-out-loud moments. The liberty out of easy taking walks/singing/chuckling with her can be a portion of the pleasures that i pay attention to away from anybody performing by way of loss of dating that were/try filled up with genuine love.
Those that We hear grieving losings off secretive relationships (either by fear of relatives/relatives discovering while the age, society otherwise religious distinctions; otherwise due to affair issues) – these I feel miss out the beautiful possible opportunity to “love out loud.” And to me, that’s the real losings.

I was on Naked Attraction – the men have a VERY rude trick to impress bosses during the nude auditions
NAKED Attraction's previous contestant have spilled the beans on what actually happens behind the scenes.
The Channel 4 dating show, which is currently on its ninth season, has been airing since 2016.
Presented by Anna Richardson, the controversial format has seen hundreds of singletons appear fully naked, in the hopes of finding true love.
The show aims to pair up its contestants solely using the power of nudity.
A few of the brave singletons who braved all on Naked Attraction have spoken out about their experience and what it's like to bare all in front of the nation.
Previous contestant Gavin spoke to the i, revealing the very bizarre payment promise.
He explained that those on standby are told they will only be paid if they don't appear on the show, and those who are chosen, don't get paid a penny.
"If you’re on standby and you don’t appear on the show then you get paid £75 for being in the room.
"You don’t get paid if you’re on the show".
Gavin continued: "I got accepted. I think it’s quite hard to get rejected – most people who apply get on."
The Channel 4 contestant also explained the awkward nude audition process, where show hopefuls had to stand in front of a camera naked being interviewed for almost an hour.
Gavin said: "I went down to Newcastle, sat down and chatted with a camerawoman and a male interviewee.
"Then they said ‘Can you take your clothes off now and pitch yourself to us?’ It lasted about 45 minutes."
However he explained that it "wasn't so awkward" and that the team "made me feel at ease".
Filming days are long and tiresome, and it took Gavin from 7am until 3pm to film one 30-minute segment of the hour-long show.
He explained that there was "quite a lot of shaking" going on amongst the men on the show, due to there being a chilly draft.
Most read in TV
"Whenever the camera wasn’t on, everyone was shaking themselves to try and make themselves look bigger", he said.
Speaking to The Sun, another former contestant called Emmylou confirmed that Gavin's claim about contestants not being paid was true.
She said: "You don't get paid. It's something that if you want to do, you can do.
"It's very liberating – and a great experience."
Emmylou's audition took place over a video call, not in-person, but she also had to take her clothes off.
She explained: "You'd think that would be nerve-racking but it wasn't.
You have a conversation with them before and when you audition it's a case of taking your clothes off." | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/18339795/naked-attraction-auditions-real-life-be-on-show/ | 2022-04-23T10:07:33Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/18339795/naked-attraction-auditions-real-life-be-on-show/ | true | 3 |
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law new guidelines Friday involving race-based discussions in businesses and schools as part of his campaign against critical race theory, which he called “pernicious” ideology.
Passed by lawmakers earlier this year, the legislation bars instruction that says members of one race are inherently racist, and that they should feel guilt for past actions committed by others of the same race or that a person’s status as privileged or oppressed is necessarily determined by their race. It also bars the notion that meritocracy is racist, or that discrimination is acceptable to achieve diversity.
“We believe in education, not indoctrination,” DeSantis said during Friday’s bill signing in South Florida.
DeSantis said Florida students will not have oppressive ideologies imposed on them, as the bill provides “substantive protections” for students in grades K to 12. He said “pernicious ideologies” will not be allowed.
“We will not use your tax dollars to teach our kids to hate this country or hate each other,” DeSantis said.
Opponents say DeSantis doesn’t have an accurate idea of what critical race theory is, and argue that his motives are to suppress an accurate account of Black history.
“It’s just illustrating Gov. DeSantis’ pattern of Black attack policies led by Republican legislators. He has taken a culture war to a classic Republican battleground, which is the public schools. It’s going to hurt our children’s futures,”’ said Democratic Rep. Angie Nixon, who is Black. “CRT is not taught in K-12 education here in our public schools.”
DeSantis’ focus on culture war issues involving race, gender and the coronavirus have made him one of the most popular Republican politicians in the country and a likely 2024 presidential candidate.
Critical race theory centers on the idea that racism is systemic in U.S. institutions and that they function to maintain the dominance of white people in society. There is little evidence that critical race theory itself is being taught to K-12 public school students, though some ideas central to it have been incorporated into teaching materials.
Black lawmakers in Florida have said they believe the legislation will have a chilling effect on how African American history is taught because teachers will fear lawsuits if students’ parents object to how they present subjects like slavery, segregation, lynchings and the continued presence of racism in the U.S.
“The governor is on his bogeyman tour of issues that are not issues,” Democratic Sen. Shevrin Jones, who is Black, said in an interview. “The Republicans continuously cloak themselves in freedom, but clearly pick and choose which freedoms and for whom they support said freedoms .. They sure don’t support the freedoms of Black people.”
The new law does expand language in state law requiring classroom instruction on ”the ramifications of prejudice, racism and stereotyping on individual freedoms,” as well as study of the history of slavery, segregation and racial oppression, and of contributions by Blacks in U.S. history. But such material cannot seek to “indoctrinate or persuade students to a particular point of view” inconsistent with the law.
“What are we supposed to do, just let these ideologies overtake our entire education system?” DeSantis said at a campaign-style event Friday to sign the bill in the South Florida city of Hialeah. The gathered crowd responded, ’Noooo.’
“This is an ideology that was taking hold in a lot of elite institutions, the media, corporate America, the bureaucracy, the education establishment. Most Americans don’t want anything to do with this stuff,” DeSantis said. | http://www.virginislandsdailynews.com/ap/florida-gov-desantis-signs-bill-to-limit-discussion-of-race/article_a1a7c034-4a2f-5fe0-9979-573f80338198.html | 2022-04-23T10:12:47Z | http://www.virginislandsdailynews.com/ap/florida-gov-desantis-signs-bill-to-limit-discussion-of-race/article_a1a7c034-4a2f-5fe0-9979-573f80338198.html | false | 26 |
PRAGUE – A Czech leatherwork company that makes a wide variety of handmade products — travel bags, messenger totes, wallets and belts — never planned to add personal protective gear that would save lives in a war to its offerings.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has changed that.
After Russian troops launched their assault on Ukraine, Tlusty & Co. hired refugees from Ukraine to help the company join a manufacturing operation equipping Ukrainian volunteers with body armor to face the invading troops.
The Prague-based company agreed to a request from the Post Bellum nongovernmental organization to join a project to supply the protection gear similar to bulletproof vests to Ukraine’s Territorial Defense Forces. Thousands of Ukrainian volunteers have joined the troops to resist the Russian invasion.
“We specialize in completely different production,” Tlusty & Co. owner Ivan Petruv said. “We were facing a situation where we had to decide. And because we consider ourselves part of a community that wants to help in this situation as we can, which is only natural when you see the news, we decided to say yes.”
To make the new production happen was a race against the clock, he said. The company needed to get new machines, new materials and above all, to hire extra employees to join the 20-25 staffers in a country whose unemployment rate of 3.4% reflects a lack of available workers in many fields.
“What would take weeks if not months under normal circumstances, we had to solve in hours and several days,” he said.
Since the war began, 300,000 refugees who fled Ukraine have arrived in the Czech Republic, mostly women with children, so Petruv said they became an obvious place to look for new hires.
“We published an advertisement at 8 a.m. and at noon we had a list of 70 people,” Petruv said.
Four days later, the 15 most qualified people started to work to complete the unusual contract. They sew ballistic plate carriers while other Ukrainians working for Post Bellum assemble the whole gear by inserting steel plates into the vests. The NGO finances it all through a crowd-funding campaign.
Natalia Bielonosova is one of the company's new workers. She came to Prague from her town of Irpin, located near the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. with a friend.
“I wanted to make the protection gear for Ukraine,” Bielonosova said. “That’s a way for me to help my country.”
Her husband, a humanitarian worker, stayed at home and her son serves in the Ukrainian army.
“He has no electricity, gas, heating or warm water but has survived so far,” she said of her husband.
Of her son, she says “it’s painful to read about what’s happening. I’d like a solution to be found to end the fighting.”
With Irpin and many places badly damaged by heavy Russian shelling, Bielonosova can see her future in Prague, the Czech capital.
“They’ve destroyed cities and destroyed infrastructure. It would be a very hard life (to go back),” she said.
The work she and other Ukrainian refugees have done has impressed Petruv.
“We’d like them to stay,” he said. “We’re talking about hardworking, skillful people who deserve the job.”
The Czech company has so far made 720 of the protective vests with 400 more to deliver. What happens next is unclear.
Petruv said his company was ready to continue the project but “we would be delighted to end it as soon as possible, because this isn’t something we want to do. We do it only because of the current situation and a feeling of responsibility.”
Meanwhile, he is planning a new project for his Ukrainian workers for the time when peace is restored. It would be products designed for Czech kids and their families.
It’s called “Mothers for mothers.”

Greens have little or no understanding of reality
Subscribe newsletter
Editor,
When will the Greens and the engineering and technically challenged critics realise that you just cannot close all fossil-fuelled power stations, without a viable replacement. A phased strategy is required to keep bills down and for everyone to continue to enjoy a reliable and secure power supply.
In recognising this fact we should all be supporting the efficient CCGT gas-fired power stations which are 60 per cent less polluting than their coal cousins, and this interim strategy should include tidal and hydro generation schemes.
If fracking is introduced then there is absolutely no reason why your energy should not tumble – let your voice be heard dear reader and lobby your political representative.
Finally, it is utter folly to continue with wind, solar and nuclear fission, but why is government keeping very quiet about the potential of electricity from space and that of nuclear fusion, the holy grail of power production?

A project is underway to improve ADA accessibility and add more parking at the Slidell Branch Library before the facility itself is expanded next year. The additional parking will better serve patrons with disabilities, provide improved access to the library on busy days and meet requirements of the facility once it is expanded by 4,500 square feet.
“We timed this project to be completed before we begin our planned expansion, to lessen the disruption to patrons, and to have adequate parking in place so that upon completion, patrons can begin using the new space right away,” said Kelly LaRocca, library system director.
The Accessibility Improvement and Parking Lot Expansion Project will improve ADA accessibility to the library's south entrance with construction of a handicap accessible ramp; the regrading of an existing ramp; modifications to the existing sidewalk and parking lot to better access the south entrance doorway; and the addition of six more handicap accessible parking spaces.
The lot will gain 93 additional parking spaces, retain the tree line buffer adjacent to the Forest Manor neighborhood, remove storm-vulnerable pine trees and add a mixture of 36 additional trees and 91 shrubs that will include Eastern redbuds, Chinese parasols, crape myrtle, nuttall oaks and vitex-chaste trees, wax myrtle, Shenandoah switch grass, camellia, palmetto and dwarf camellia.
In addition, the six-foot wooden fence that lines the parking lot and flanks homes in the Forest Manor neighborhood has been replaced.
Kort Construction is contractor for the $782,500 contract, and work is to be complete in about four months, barring delays.
As part of the planned building expansion, patrons are being asked to provide input on the features they would like to see as part of the library addition, which is expected to begin in early 2023. All visitors to the Slidell branch in coming weeks will have the chance to see and hear about potential expansion options and vote for their choices on display boards. Visit the circulation desk at the Slidell Branch location at 555 Robert Blvd. to get the materials needed to make your choices. The project boards will be open for viewing and voting through May 14.
The future expansion is a project identified in the St. Tammany Parish Library Capital Projects plan for renovation and preservation.
Patrons, please save this date: The 2022 Summer Reading Challenge Community Kickoff Party — "Oceans of Possibilitie" — is May 21, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Madisonville branch, 1123 Main Street.

MADRID (AP) — A leading Spanish museum said Friday it’s confident that U.S. courts will again rule that a valuable French impressionist painting once taken from a Jewish family by the Nazis belongs to the museum, and not to descendants of the family.
In a statement Friday, the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum said that despite a new U.S. Supreme Court ruling that returned the case to lower courts, it was sure those courts would once again rule that Spanish law, rather than California law, should prevail.
That would mean the painting, Camille Pissaro’s “Rue Saint-Honoré in the Afternoon, Effect of Rain,” should remain in the hands of the Madrid museum where it now hangs. The painting has been estimated to be worth more than $30 million.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling Thursday to return the case to the Courts of Appeal kept alive San Diego resident David Cassirer’s hopes of getting back the streetscape that belonged to his great-grandmother.
U.S. lower courts have previously concluded that Spanish property law and not California law should ultimately govern the case and that under Spanish law, the museum was the rightful owner of the painting, which the family believed for over half a century had been lost or destroyed.
The Courts of Appeal will now decide whether California state law, rather than federal law, might hold precedence over Spanish law. This could overturn earlier rulings.
The Thyssen museum said that Supreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor had commented during the hearing that the next ruling would probably be again in the Spanish museum’s favor.
Cassirer’s great-grandmother, Lilly Cassirer, a German Jew, had owned the 1897 oil painting. After the Nazis came to power, Cassirer and her husband fled Germany. In 1939, in order to get visas to leave, she surrendered the Pissarro painting to the Nazis.
The painting changed hands a number of times after that.
In 1958, Lilly Cassirer reached a monetary settlement with the German government worth about 232,000 euros ($250,000) today, but she didn’t give up rights to try to pursue the painting if it turned up.
Rather than being lost or destroyed, the painting had traveled to the United States, where it spent 25 years in the hands of different collectors before being purchased in 1976 by Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza of Lugano, Switzerland. He owned it until the 1990s, when he sold much of his art collection to Spain. | https://www.upmatters.com/news/international/ap-international/spain-museum-confident-it-can-keep-painting-stolen-by-nazis/ | 2022-04-23T10:52:22Z | https://www.upmatters.com/news/international/ap-international/spain-museum-confident-it-can-keep-painting-stolen-by-nazis/ | false | 45 |

How Wayne Bennett spared no expense to get Kalyn Ponga to sign for the Dolphins - but tripped up when the Knights star asked him about his future
- Kalyn Ponga signed three-year extension with Newcastle Knights this week
- Star fullback had long been on the Dolphins' radar for next season
- Wayne Bennett met Ponga to discuss his future and a move to Redcliffe
- But 24-year-old was reportedly left unimpressed by the line of questioning
- Knights had reportedly pulled their offer for the Queensland star at one point
Wayne Bennett spared no expenses to convince Kalyn Ponga to sign for the Dolphins, but was allegedly stumped when the Newcastle superstar asked him how he planned to make him a better player.
One of the NRL's longest-sagas finally came to an end this week, when the star fullback agreed to sign a three-year extension worth approximately $1.1million a season to remain with the Knights until 2022.
That put an end to speculations Ponga could move north of the border, with the Dolphins desperate to sign a superstar ahead of their inaugural season in the NRL next year.
Kalyn Ponga's signed a three-year extension with the Newcastle Knights this week
The fullback had long been on the Dolphins' radar and it appeared the NRL newcomers could land their man, after reports emerged on Easter Sunday suggesting Newcastle had withdrawn their offer.
The stunning move was attributed to some Newcastle became uncomfortable over the influence Ponga's father Andre appears to have gained at the club.
According to the Daily Telegraph, however, one of the contributing factors behind Ponga's decision to remain with the Knights was a lack of clarity from Bennett.
The star fullback will earn $1.1million a season and remain with the Knights until 2022
Ponga said he never had any hesitation to sign a new deal with the Knights
The veteran coach challenged Ponga to be the best player he can be and questioned whether the 23-year-old could fulfill his potential in Newcastle, a club Bennett managed for three seasons.
In turn, Ponga reportedly asked the seven-time premiership winner how he planned to make him a better player and was not particularly impressed by the response.
Bennett and Ponga met at the Terrigal’s Star of the Sea restaurant Sydney, where the former Brisbane Broncos coach reportedly treated the Queensland State of Origin star to hamburgers he had personally ordered in.

The Dolphins' courtship of Ponga ultimately proved fruitless as the Knights captain opted to commit his future to the club he has been with since 2018.
Ponga's father insisted the Knights never threaten to pull the offer off the table.
'Last week we all knew that he was staying but we had to go through that process,' he told the Daily Telegraph.
'We knew last week that this was going to happen. If it doesn’t come from us or from the club itself to us, it is noise.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nrl/article-10745915/How-Wayne-Bennett-spared-no-expense-Kalyn-Ponga-sign-Dolphins.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-23T10:59:19Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nrl/article-10745915/How-Wayne-Bennett-spared-no-expense-Kalyn-Ponga-sign-Dolphins.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 2 |

Road To Commonwealth Games 2022: Four Weightlifters Unveiled As The First Of Malta’s Contingent
Four female weightlifters have become the first to book their berth for the Commonwealth Games this coming summer.
Athletes Yazmin Zammit Stevens, Tenishia Thornton, Roberta Tabone, and Elisa Scicluna have all qualified for the event, with Zammit Stevens hitting the tournament for the second time in her career.
Late last year, Zammit Stevens walked away with the bronze medal in the Commonwealth category at the IWF World Championships in the 64 kg set.
It is the first time that Malta will have multiple weightlifters representing the country in the games, and an added first for Thornton, who at 16 years of age, will be one of the youngest athletes in the contingent.
Thornton placed 10th overall at the European Championships in April last year, the highest ever result for a Maltese weightlifter at the event.
Charlene Attard, Director of Sport and Chef de Mission for the games had this to say:
“It is very encouraging to see that these athletes have qualified on their own merit, showing that the investment in this sport is producing results. We are confident that these athletes can deliver good results in Birmingham.”
The high-level Games will take place in Birmingham between 28th July and 8th August.

Patna, April 23: A shocking incident has come to light from Gosainganj where a 45-year-old man was tied to a tree and was lynched by four people, including two women, in Begadia in the early hours of Friday. The deceased, identified as Rudra Kumar, was a resident of Begadia village. He owned a small farm and supported his family.
The accused were identified as Kuldeep Rawat (23), Murli Rawat (20), Anita (45), and Saloni (25). "Rudra stepped out of his house in the early hours of Friday and was intercepted by the four accused who live in the same village. First, they had a scuffle over the water dispute, but then Kuldeep pushed Rudra to the ground. Thereafter, the four accused picked him up and tied him to a tree and started beating him with sticks," reported TOI, quoting SHO Shailendra Giri as saying.

WRAPUP 6-Intensifying barrage pounds eastern Ukraine; Zelenskiy warns on Russian war aims
"It's unpleasant they're leaving our settlements, but it is no catastrophe," he added. Ukraine's military said in updates on Friday and early Saturday that Russia was trying to establish full control of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and secure a land connection to Crimea, and was partially blockading the northeastern city of Kharkiv.
- Country:
- Ukraine
Ukrainian forces were pulling back from some settlements to regroup as an intensifying barrage pounded all cities in Luhansk region, its governor said on Saturday, with Russia pressing its offensive in the east.
The pullback to new defensive lines was to preserve units, the governor, Serhiy Gaidai, added in televised remarks. "It's unpleasant they're leaving our settlements, but it is no catastrophe," he added.
Ukraine's military said in updates on Friday and early Saturday that Russia was trying to establish full control of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and secure a land connection to Crimea, and was partially blockading the northeastern city of Kharkiv. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and before its Feb. 24 invasion, Russian-backed separatists controlled parts of Donetsk and Luhansk, which make up the Donbas. A Russian general said on Friday that Moscow wanted full control of Donbas and also southern Ukraine, suggesting wider Russian aims than previously acknowledged.
Russia has said it is conducting a "special military operation" to demilitarise Ukraine and liberate its population from dangerous nationalists. Ukraine and its Western allies call the invasion an unjustified war of aggression. Russia said on Saturday it had shot down a Ukrainian fighter jet and destroyed three Ukrainian helicopters at an airfield in Kharkiv, a heavily bombarded city northwest of Donbas.
There was no immediate reaction from Ukraine regarding the Russian claims but the Ukrainian military said on Saturday it had destroyed 177 Russian aircraft and 154 helicopters since the start of the war. Reuters could not independently verify the claims.
Russian forces made no major gains in the last 24 hours, British military intelligence said on Saturday. Declaring victory in the biggest battle of the conflict so far, Russia said this week it had captured the southern port city of Mariupol and "securely blockaded" remaining Ukrainian troops who have been holed up in a huge steel works there.
Russian forces besieged and bombarded Mariupol - home to 400,000 people before the war - for weeks, leaving a city in ruins. Ukraine estimates tens of thousands of civilians have died and says 100,000 civilians are still there. The United Nations and Red Cross say the civilian toll is at least in the thousands. Satellite imagery from near Mariupol showed a second cemetery had been expanded in late March and early April at Vynohradne, with long new trenches likely to become new grave sites, the U.S.' Maxar Technologies said on Friday.
The company had said on Thursday its imagery had located a separate burial site in another location near the city with more than 200 graves. 'WHO WILL COME NEXT?'
Rustam Minnekayev, deputy commander of Russia's central military district, was quoted by Russian state news agencies on Friday as saying full control over southern Ukraine would give it access to Transdniestria, a breakaway Russian-occupied part of Moldova in the west. That would cut off Ukraine's entire coastline and mean Russian forces pushing hundreds of miles further west, past the major coastal city of Odesa.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said after Minnekayev's comments that Russia's invasion was just the beginning and that Moscow has designs on capturing other countries. "We are the first in line. And who will come next?" he said in a video address late on Friday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on whether Russia had expanded its goals or on how Moscow saw the political future of southern Ukraine. Zelenskiy said in his address that Ukraine's allies were finally delivering weapons Kyiv has asked for.
U.S. President Joe Biden said on Thursday he had authorized a further $800 million in military aid for Ukraine, including heavy artillery, ammunition and drones. Canada said on Friday it had provided more heavy artillery to Ukraine. In the southern city of Mykolaiv, 87 civilians have died in the invasion, including one child, Mayor Oleksandr Senkevich said late Friday on his Facebook page. Nearly 400 people have been wounded. Reuters could not independently verify this.

Iraq exhibits restored art pillaged after 2003 invasion
BAGHDAD (AFP) – Verdant landscapes, stylised portraits of peasant women, curved sculptures -- an exhibition in Baghdad is allowing art aficionados to rediscover the pioneers of contemporary Iraqi art.
Around one hundred items are on display in the capital, returned and restored nearly two decades after they were looted.
Many of the works, including pieces by renowned artists Jawad Selim and Fayiq Hassan, disappeared in 2003 when museums and other institutions were pillaged in the chaos that followed the US-led invasion to topple dictator Saddam Hussein.
Thousands of pieces were stolen, and organised criminal networks often sold them outside Iraq.
Tracked down in Switzerland, the US, Qatar and neighbouring Jordan, sculptures and paintings dating between the 1940s and 1960s have been on display since late March at the Ministry of Culture, in a vast room that used to serve as a restaurant.
"These works are part of the history of contemporary art in Iraq," ministry official Fakher Mohamed said.
Artistic renaissance
Pictures and sculptures were in 2003 spirited away from the Saddam Arts Centre, one of Baghdad's most prestigious cultural venues at the time.
While he crushed all political dissent, Saddam cultivated the image of a patron of the arts. The invasion and years of violence that followed ended a flourishing arts scene, particularly in Baghdad.
Now, relative stability has led to a fledgling artistic renaissance, including book fairs and concerts, of which the exhibition organised by the ministry is an example.
It helps recall a golden age when Baghdad was considered one of the Arab world's cultural capitals.
Among canvases of realist, surrealist or expressionist inspiration, a picturesque scene in shimmering colours shows a boat sailing in front of several "mudhif", the traditional reed dwellings found in Iraq's southern marshes.
Other paintings, in dark colours, depict terrified residents surrounded by corpses, fleeing a burning village.
Elsewhere, a woman is shown prostrate in a scene of destruction, kneeling in front of an arm protruding from stones.
There is also a wooden sculpture of a gazelle with undulating curves, and the "maternal statue" -- a work by Jawad Selim that represents a woman with a slender neck and raised arms.
The latter, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, was rediscovered in a Baghdad district known for its antiques and second-hand goods shops. It was in the possession of a dealer unaware of its true value, according to sculptor Taha Wahib, who bought it for just $200.
'Priceless works'
Looters in some cases had taken pictures out of their frames, sometimes with cutters, to steal them more easily.
"Some pieces were damaged during the events of 2003 -- or they were stored in poor conditions for many years," Mohamed, the culture ministry official, told AFP.
But "they were restored in record time," he said.
Other works are being held back for now, with some waiting to be restored -- but they will be exhibited once more, Mohamed pledged.
He wants to open more exhibition rooms to show the entire collection of recovered items.
"Museums must be open to the public -- these works shouldn't remain imprisoned in warehouses," he said.
The 7,000 items stolen in 2003 included "priceless works", and about 2,300 have been returned to Iraq, according to exhibition curator Lamiaa al-Jawari.
In 2004, she joined a committee of artists committed to retrieving the many stolen national treasures.
"Some have been recovered through official channels" including the Swiss embassy, she said, but individuals also helped.
Authorities coordinate with Interpol and the last restitutions took place in 2021.
The selection on display will be changed from time to time, "to show visitors all this artistic heritage," Jawari said.
Ali Al-Najar, an 82-year-old artist who has lived in Sweden the past 20 years, has been on holiday in his homeland.
He welcomed the exhibition.
"The pioneers are those who initiated Iraqi art. If we forget them, we lose our foundations" as a society, Najar said. | https://www.kurdistan24.net/en/story/28093-Iraq-exhibits-restored-art-pillaged-after-2003-invasion | 2022-04-23T11:08:02Z | https://www.kurdistan24.net/en/story/28093-Iraq-exhibits-restored-art-pillaged-after-2003-invasion | true | 14 |

Govt land 'encroached' by local SP leader vacated in UP's Kannauj
- Country:
- India
A piece of government land a local Samajwadi Party (SP) leader had allegedly encroached on here was vacated using a bulldozer on Saturday, officials said.
The action comes a week after the district administration razed another ''illegal'' structure constructed by the SP leader, Rajnikant Yadav, on government land in the district.
Over 4,800 square metres of government land worth around Rs 24 lakh allegedly encroached upon by Yadav was freed on Saturday, Additional District Magistrate (Sadar) Umakant Tiwari told PTI.
Yadav is a former zila panchayat member.

‘Going to take some time’: Swifts succumb to super-shot blitz
Sarah Klau and Maddy Turner in defence, Cara Koenen and Steph Wood in attack.
Saturday night’s clash between the NSW Swifts and the Sunshine Coast Lightning offered Australian Diamonds coach Stacey Marinkovich an early look at two alternative pairings at both ends of the court for the fast-approaching Commonwealth Games.
Five players named in the Diamonds squad on Thursday featured on Saturday night, including the Swifts’ Paige Hadley. None would have done their chances of playing in Birmingham any harm.
In the end, it was Wood and Koenen who came away with the bragging rights thanks to a third-quarter cameo from super shot specialist Reilley Batcheldor in a thrilling 69-62 win at the Ken Rosewall Arena.
Helen Housby, who is likely to feature prominently in Birmingham for the host nation, got off to a shaky start with a miss for the first shot of the game. That slip-up foreshadowed a messy first quarter for the Swifts, with infringements from Kelly Singleton and Maddy Proud granting the Lightning multiple chances to punish the hosts.
If Marinkovich was choosing her team on first-quarter performances alone, Koenen would surely be named starting shooter in Birmingham. While her English counterpart was often double-teamed by Kate Walsh and Mahalia Cassidy at the Swifts’ end of the court, the Queenslander was unstoppable and had 18 goals straight by quarter-time.
A defensive reshuffle by Swifts coach Briony Akle brought Sarah Klau into goal keeper and the double-premiership winner limited Koenen to 12 goals in a much closer second quarter. After the Lightning called a timeout, the hosts capitalised on Lauren Scherian’s fumble to quickly move the ball to Housby, who converted the super shot to give the Swifts the lead for the first time. It was short-lived – Housby missed a chance to sink another super shot and put some distance on the Lightning, who shot well to maintain their lead into the main break.
It was all Swifts to start the third quarter as Sophie Fawns and Housby continued to build on their partnership in the attack end. The Swifts shot out to a four-goal lead before Lightning coach Kylee Byrne brought on super-shot specialist Batcheldor for captain Steph Wood. Batcheldor delivered, shouting four two-pointers to leave the hosts stunned and trailing into yet another break.
Batcheldor’s third-quarter blitz proved decisive. Housby took her shots exclusively from the white of the super shot zone, bringing the Swifts to only six goals of the visitors, but the clock – and a sealer from Wood in the final minute – consigned them to a second loss in a row.
Swifts coach Akle said her team didn’t put enough pressure on the Lightning to stop the supply to Batcheldor.
“We knew that she could come on and do that,” she said. “It’s disappointing – that clutch moment of the game is certainly when she got those shots in, so lots to learn.”
Akle said she is looking forward to getting back on the training court after 10 days on the road.
“We’ve had a very big change in Sammy [Wallace] not being there … we need training sessions at the end of the day,” she said. “We’ve got to play a different style and that, of course, is going to take some time.”
Diamonds coach Marinkovich has 97 days until the opening ceremony in Birmingham to whittle a squad of 18 down to 12, and Klau said she would look to stake her claim for the final squad by continuing her strong club form.
“I think my focus is just playing well with the Swifts and hopefully making that team,” she said. “It’s a massive goal of mine. So, fingers crossed.” | https://www.watoday.com.au/sport/netball/going-to-take-some-time-swifts-succumb-to-super-shot-blitz-20220423-p5afle.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport | 2022-04-23T11:11:31Z | https://www.watoday.com.au/sport/netball/going-to-take-some-time-swifts-succumb-to-super-shot-blitz-20220423-p5afle.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport | false | 7 |

On Saturday, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya proclaimed that the Yogi Adityanath administration is working towards implementing Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state. Maurya noted that the Common civil code is necessary for the citizens of the country.
"The Uniform civil code is must & necessary and there should be one law for everyone. There is a need for a common civil code for citizens of this country. Uttar Pradesh Government is taking this matter seriously and is moving forward in this direction. The way the Uttarakhand government has taken this step forward, UP will also take it forward. Even Non-BJP states should also welcome such initiatives"
Speaking on the subject, BJP spokesperson Anila Singh said, "It's high time that UCC should be implemented not only in the states but across the country. Everybody is equal that's what the preamble of our constitution conveys. So each and every citizen of the great country living here should have everything equally. Now, the government has to take a step over how and when it has to be done." On being asked about the opposition's objection, Singh stressed that there are two types of politics-- one is just doing populist politics and another for the benefit of the country. "Under PM Modi's leadership, CM Yogi Adityanath has worked for the welfare of everyone without any discrimination," he added.
Maintaining one of their pre-poll promises, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Dhami’s cabinet recently announced that a committee of experts will be formed on Uniform Civil Code. If implemented, Uttarakhand will be the second state to adopt UCC after Goa.
BJP leader and Supreme Court lawyer Ashwini Upadhyay, meanwhile, stated that UCC is the soul of the constitution and should be implemented sans any further discussion. He went on to add that Hindus in the country already have rights and UCC will benefit the Muslim community, especially women.
"UCC is the soul of our constitution. This was tabled around 1973 and there has already been a discussion at the constitution assembly where everybody agreed on it. There's no point in having a discussion again. We are living in the 21st century and the marriage ages of Hindu and Muslim girls are different. Right on the property of women is not equal in all religions as of now. UCC will give equal rights to women Of women irrespective of religion. UCC will benefit Muslim women more as Hindus have already received all the rights," said Ashwini Upadhyay

A former Vice President and presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said that he was never a party to the Northern Consensus arrangement led by former Military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd)
The Technical Committee for the Actualisation of Atiku Abubakar’s Presidency in 2023 in a statement by its chairman, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi, said the former VP did not subject himself to any purported consensus process and thus not bound by any of the recommendations and conclusions of the reportl
“As an avowed nationalist, Waziri Atiku Abubakar strongly believes that Nigeria has never been as divided as it is today. He strongly believes that any “consensus” arrangement premised on any regional, zonal, ethno-religious, and/or sectional gang-up will further deepen and widen this divide, and worsen thewounds that urgently need to be healed.
“Consequently, Vice President Atiku Abubakar is anxious to implement plans, policies and programmes that will rescue and rebuild Nigeria. This is his unwavering and resolute pledge and commitment,” he said.
The Committe which said it has been inundated with several calls and text messages on the purported consensus, urged Atiku’s supporters and other critical stakeholders to continue with consultations and town hall meetings with delegates across the country ahead of the party primaries.
“We urge them neither to be deterred nor distracted in our collective mission to rescue our nation,” he said.
It would be recalled that a former Vice Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Prof. Ango Abdullahi (Magajin Rafin Zazzau) on Friday released the report of the IBB Consensus efforts involving only four presidential aspirants of Northern extraction within the PDP.
The aspirants who presented themselves for the said exercise were Sokoto governor, Aminu Tambuwwal, his colleague from Bauchi, Bala Mohammed, former Senate President, Bukola Saraki and a former Bank chief, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen.
LEADERSHIP reports that Saraki and Mohammed were ranked top on the list released by Prof. Abdullahi as possible consensus candidate of the North in the 2023 elections. | https://leadership.ng/2023-presidency-atiku-not-part-of-norths-consensus-arrangement/ | 2022-04-23T11:20:50Z | https://leadership.ng/2023-presidency-atiku-not-part-of-norths-consensus-arrangement/ | false | 2 |
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — A commercial tanker that sank off the Tunisian coast and and was believed to be holding 750 tons of diesel fuel in fact held no fuel at all, according to Tunisian naval officials. The ship's crew has been detained on suspicion of criminal activity.
The sinking of the Xelo ship last week raised fears of a potential fuel spill in the Mediterranean. Tunisia's Environment Ministry activated an emergency response plan and neighboring Italy sent a barge with pollution-clearing equipment to the area.
The ship's captain initially said it contained 750 tons of fuel. But after Tunisian and Italian divers inspected the sunken ship, they found no fuel in its containers, Rear Adm. Mezri Latif told a news conference Friday.
“There was only sea water inside the ship … The ship’s valves and pumps were corroded. We deduced that the ship had not been carrying oil for a certain period,” he said.
“The ship no longer represents an ecological danger for the Gulf of Gabes. There is no fuel leak. The Navy will oversee the wreckage extraction operation and the investigation will continue to determine the exact causes of the sinking,” the Tunisian officer said.
He said the ship's bridge had been vandalized and several navigation devices had been ripped off. The GPS was destroyed with hammer blows, and the ship's bill of lading disappeared.
The seven-member crew was rescued by the Tunisian Navy after having launched a distress signal on April 16 due to bad weather conditions.
They were all detained Friday on charges of association with criminal activity, according to Mohamed Karay, spokesman for the court in the city of Gabes.
The boat was registered in Equatorial Guinea, and its crew members are from Georgia, Turkey and Azerbaijan.
The Xelo had left the port of Damietta in Egypt heading for Malta, but was diverted from its route due to bad weather conditions. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Tunisia-Sunken-tanker-contained-no-fuel-17121574.php | 2022-04-23T11:21:36Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Tunisia-Sunken-tanker-contained-no-fuel-17121574.php | false | 12 |
There aren’t many things that define Canada better than hockey, but according to a recent poll by Statistics Canada, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is one of them. Fully 93 per cent of respondents named the Charter, which turned 40 this past week, as the country’s most important national symbol.
Respondents considered the Charter more important than hockey, the Maple Leaf flag, the national anthem or even that venerable Canadian icon, the beaver. That should come as no surprise given that the Charter embodies the two sacrosanct values that animate the Canadian identity: freedom and equality. And in the past four decades many courts have employed those values in shaping and reshaping our society.
By interpreting and applying the Charter, courts have expanded equality protections, affirmed the right to a fair trial, preserved the right to reproductive freedom, secured rights for same sex couples, protected Indigenous title and treaty rights, and recognized the right to medical assistance in dying.
And yet, for all of that conspicuous progress, some of our most intractable problems remain virtually untouched, including climate change and environmental degradation, poverty and homelessness.
Although litigants have brought Charter challenges to address these problems, the courts have been less than enthusiastic in offering relief. This judicial hesitance is largely because these cases involve asking the courts to order that the government take some positive action — to, for example, provide Canadians with housing or social assistance.
This is in stark contrast to the way Charter rights have been traditionally construed: as “negative” obligations, obligations that require the government to refrain from acting in ways that violate individual rights — to, for example, refrain from interfering with Canadians’ right to speak or assemble freely.
The courts have therefore by and large rejected claims of “positive” rights, including claims of a right to health care, housing and welfare, though former Supreme Court of Canada Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin did leave the door open a crack, saying the Charter might one day “be interpreted to include positive obligations.”
That day, however, is not likely to be today — or tomorrow, for that matter. After 40 years of reshaping society we seem to have reached the limit of the Charter's transformative power, and just when we were getting to our most persistent problems. Which raises the question: when we look forward to the next 40 years, do we have anything to look forward to?
Now, to be sure, it’s important to understand where the Charter ends. Its reach is not infinite, and it doesn't grant judges the authority or ability to rule by fiat and dictate how to address all our problems.
In fact, when the Charter was first enacted, critics bridled at the very thought of unelected judges invalidating laws passed by duly elected parliamentarians. They warned that would lead to judicial tyranny, to judges getting the last word in law and in life.
Yet when it comes to the Charter, no one gets the last word. Rather, judges and lawmakers are engaged in a perpetual pas de deux, a delicate dance involving the endless shaping and reshaping, interpretation and reinterpretation of the law.
If, for example, the courts find a law violates the Charter, the matter is sent back to Parliament, and Parliament can and often does rewrite the law. The new law can then be again reviewed by the courts, and if necessary, Parliament can again rewrite it, and the dance continues.
But this is a dance fit for three. Canadian citizens, too, play a critical role in shaping the law. Courts don’t whimsically decide what laws they feel like reviewing; instead, they respond to Canadians’ requests to consider particular issues.
And by asking the courts to recognize positive Charter rights, Canadians reframe issues like environmental protection, housing and welfare as matters of rights. This is a crucial step in shaping how courts — and lawmakers — view the rights enshrined in the Charter.
Make no mistake: lawmakers can and do respond to such reframing. When it comes to protecting the natural environment, for example, lawmakers have recently recognized that some elements of the natural environment, including mountains, rivers and lakes, are the subjects of rights, are persons.
This means they're entitled to certain protections — to be free from degradation, for instance — and that might very well lead courts to one day recognize that governments are under a positive obligation to protect the environment.
As we look forward to the next 40 years, this is what we have to look forward to: to our collective and continued reshaping of our laws and our lives. The Charter will set the stage on which our conversations about rights will take place, but it is we — lawmakers, judges and most vitally, an engaged citizenry — who must dance the dance. | https://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorials/2022/04/23/after-four-decades-we-still-must-build-on-gains-made-by-charter-of-rights.html | 2022-04-23T11:28:20Z | https://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorials/2022/04/23/after-four-decades-we-still-must-build-on-gains-made-by-charter-of-rights.html | true | 1 |
Abibinsroma Foundation calls on citizens to support Operation Clean Your Frontage as part of protecting planet earth
Over the past few years, Accra has been battling with the issue of filth. Waste management has been a very key issue in Accra and immediate ways to curb that situation have been initiated by Mr Henry Quartey, the Greater Accra Regional Minister.
Miss Beatrice Nana Tima Amoah, a 17year old environmental activist of AbibiNsroma Foundation expresses her worry about improper disposal and inadequate collection of waste or litter in the commercial capital city of Accra and it's environs. This is making lives uncomfortable for inhabitants of the city and this comes along with major risks like pollution which leads to the spread of diseases such as malaria, cholera, dysentery, diarrhoea, typhoid, respiratory infections among others.
There's a saying that, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness". Imagine living in a community filled with filth, will there be the presence of God in that community?
We all need to be each other's keeper. The Bible, therefore, asks us to be good stewards of the environment so if we fail to take good care of our environment or the Earth, it goes a long way to affect us in one way or the other.
Ocean plastics pollution and indiscriminate burning of trash all affect the well-being of Earth, the only known habitat for human life. Climate change is harshly affecting our lives across the globe.
As tidal waves continue to hit hard along the coastal stretch of Ghana such as Tema Manhean specifically the Sea Light electoral area and Abonko, lives, and properties are threatened day and night. Vulnerable residents lose their livelihoods to the tidal waves, sea erosion and flooding.
One major problem of filth in our communities is the retardation of growth. The revenue earned by the government which would be used for developmental projects would rather be used to replace lost properties that have been destroyed and also to compensate families who have lost their loved ones.
I, therefore, urge each and every one of you to support the OPERATION CLEAN YOUR FRONTAGE initiative which is championed by the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr. Henry Quartey whose aim is to seek to make it obligatory for all individuals and cooperate institutions to be responsible for cleaning and greening of their immediate surroundings.
The agenda of the Regional Minister is intended to instill discipline and enforce the laws of sanitation towards positive behavior or attitude in order to achieve the cleanest city in West Africa.
Call on every citizen to support the new drive by the government so together we can be proud of our investment in ensuring a safe clean city and protecting the Earth our only home.

A primary school in Cumbria with just one pupil on the roll is to permanently shut, the local council has announced.
St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Cockermouth has existed for nearly 150 years, but it will close its doors this summer after Cumbria County Council judged it to be “unsustainable”.
The school has struggled for a number of years and was rated “requires improvement” by Ofsted in June 2019.
Plummeting pupil numbers meant that by January 2022, four pupils were attending the school, falling to just one today.
The shortage of pupils hit the school’s budget and meant it was unable to recruit a headteacher.
After running a year-long consultation, Cumbria Council have decided to close it at the end of August.
According to the local news website, Cumbria Crack, the council’s cabinet member for schools and learning, Sue Sanderson, said all other alternatives had been exhausted.
“We looked at leadership and alternative methods of leadership, such as federating with another school or academisation. These were discussed with other headteachers and the Lancaster diocese but no one was found that could fulfil that role,” she said.
She said there was “very importantly, sufficient places in the area to accommodate expected future demand”.
Council leader Stewart Young said it was “not a decision we take lightly”, but that the circumstances supported the closure.
John Bracegirdle, the school’s chair of governors, said: “St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School opened on Crown Street, Cockermouth in 1877 in what is now St Joseph’s parish hall.
“Since then it has educated many generations of school children. In January 1967 it moved to the present school site on Mountain View.
“Today’s notice of closure is a sad time for the school, parish, and town. It is also a time to reflect and give thanks for all the children, staff, governors, and families who have been part of the school community.
“The school governors will continue to work to offer the best education we can. We would like to thank those who have supported the school over its long history and will plan ways for the community to remember the life of the school and its community in the summer term.”
The council said that 24 responses were made to the consultation on the potential closure, of which six were in favour of closing the school.
Many rural schools have faced a battle for survival in recent years. In July 2019, an investigation by Schools Week found that they made up 40 per cent of school closures in the previous decade. | https://inews.co.uk/news/education/primary-school-cumbria-one-pupil-close-150-years-1589991 | 2022-04-23T11:28:47Z | https://inews.co.uk/news/education/primary-school-cumbria-one-pupil-close-150-years-1589991 | true | 1 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Chair Jerome Powell isn’t as pleased with the robust U.S. job market as you might think he’d be, and he and the Federal Reserve plan to do something about it: Take it down a notch.
On Thursday, Powell described the job market as “extremely, historically” tight and “unsustainably hot.” Available jobs are near record highs. Wages are rising at their fastest pace in decades. The unemployment rate is flirting with a half-century low, and layoffs are sparse.
Yet Powell doesn’t see all of this as purely a cause for celebration. With the highest inflation in four decadeshurting households and businesses, the Fed chair regards the job market’s strength as a key driver of spiking prices.
But Powell is also betting that that very strength will give the Fed an unusual opportunity to cool the economy and fight inflation without derailing the job market or causing a recession. The Fed hopes to reduce the huge number of job openings, rather than spur layoffs. Fewer available jobs, in turn, would slow wage increases and help tame inflation.
On Thursday, in a panel discussion held by the International Monetary Fund, Powell said the Fed’s goal is to get the job market to “a better place.”
What’s better than really hot? And what would it mean to get there?
Start with the huge number of open jobs — 11.3 millionat last count. That’s clearly a boon to anyone seeking a better job. For employers, though, all those openings are a source of continuing frustration because a worker shortage has made them hard to fill.
As Powell and the Fed see it, the surge in job postings forces employers to boost wages to attract and keep workers. Those higher labor costs are then passed to customers in the form of higher prices, thereby helping fuel inflation.
But this time, with so many open jobs, the Powell Fed is figuring that most employers will respond by cutting back on job postings, rather than laying off people. Fewer openings would reduce their need to raise pay and would ease inflationary pressures.
If it works — a big if — this would help Powell achieve the elusive “soft landing” that Fed chairs seek when the economy is growing too fast but that they rarely achieve when inflation is as high as it is now.
Economists are generally skeptical that the Fed can successfully thread that needle. But given the job market’s strength, they also say it’s a possibility.
“We have enough space to cool off, but not go cold,” said Claudia Sahm, senior fellow at the Jain Family Institute and a former Fed economist.
In his remarks Thursday, Powell pointed to a key figure underlying the Fed’s approach: There are about 5 million more jobs — including both filled and unfilled — than there are unemployed people to fill them. That gap is the largest it’s been since World War II, according to economists at Goldman Sachs.
“We’ve got a demand-supply imbalance in the labor market,” Powell said. “It’s our job to get to a better place where supply and demand are closer together.”
The Fed’s rate hikes are intended to achieve that balance. Last month, the central bank raised its benchmark short-term rate for the first time in more than three years, by a modest quarter-point, to a range of 0.25% to 0.5%. Economists expect the Fed to raise rates by a more aggressive half-point at each of its next three meetings. That would amount to the fastest tightening of credit since 1994.
The Fed’s moves have already contributed to higher borrowing costs for home mortgages, auto loans and credit cards. Those higher costs could slow consumer spending and, the Fed hopes, convince businesses that they don’t need to hire so many people.
“The key to a soft landing is to generate a slowdown large enough to persuade firms to shelve some of their expansion plans, but not large enough to trigger sharp cuts in current output and employment,” economists at Goldman Sachs wrote this week.
At a news conference last month, Powell suggested that the job market had strengthened “to an unhealthy level” and noted that there were about 1.8 jobs available for every unemployed person. If the ratio of openings to the unemployed evened out to something closer to 1 to 1, he said, “you would have less upward pressure on wages.”
For now, average hourly wages are rising at about a 5.5% annual pace, the sharpest pace in four decades. Economists estimate that if the gains slowed to 3% or 4%, it would reduce inflation by roughly 2 percentage points.
The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation is at 6.4%, partly because of supply shocks that have sharply raised the cost of gas, food, autos and many other goods and components. Those increases won’t be affected much by the Fed’s actions. Still, many economists expect an easing of supply chain snarls to help reduce inflation this year.
With workers switching jobs in record numbers, Sahm said some companies are likely posting extra openings to build “an inventory of workers” to ensure that they can meet customer demand. That might not be necessary if spending slows, she said, making the Fed’s approach feasible.
And many employers may be more reluctant to lay off workers after having had trouble rehiring people after the pandemic recession. The number of laid-off workers receiving unemployment aid has reached its lowest level since 1970.
“Businesses are holding onto workers harder than ever,” said Sarah House, an economist at Wells Fargo. “Labor shortages have become a more persistent issue.”
Goldman Sachs has calculated that the gap between total jobs, including openings, and workers, would need to fall by half — or 2.5 million — to slow wage increases and inflation. Some of that reduction could occur as Americans who had dropped out of the workforce during the pandemic return and take jobs.
Yet a drop of that magnitude has never happened outside a recession, Goldman said, or without large increases in unemployment.
Still, Goldman’s economists put the odds of a recession only at about one-third over the next two years.
Ryan Sweet, an economist at Moody’s Analytics, said that with businesses and households in solid financial shape, with more savings and less overall debt than before the 2008-2009 Great Recession, any economic slump would likely be brief.
“If the Fed pushes the economy into recession, it’s probably going to be a mild one,” Sweet said. | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/business/why-fed-worries-about-the-strongest-us-job-market-in-decades/ | 2022-04-23T11:31:36Z | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/business/why-fed-worries-about-the-strongest-us-job-market-in-decades/ | false | 22 |
Tyson Fury insists he is not “untouchable” as he prepares to shake off a fight week free of animosity and go to “war” against Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
Fury weighed 18st 12lbs 13oz on the eve of his WBC heavyweight title defence, nearly a stone lighter than six months ago when he knocked out Deontay Wilder in a thrilling third fight between the pair.
Speculation has persisted throughout the build-up that Fury may look to keep the fight at a distance and frustrate Whyte, but the self-styled Gypsy King was adamant his defence is not impregnable.
While he has beaten everyone he has faced, Fury was downed four times in his trilogy against Wilder and also had to rise from the canvas to beat Neven Pajkic in 2011 and Steve Cunningham two years later.
“I’m not sure about all this outboxing – unless I’m Houdini, I can definitely hit them all, for sure, but I’ve definitely been hit before,” said Fury, who has won 31 and drawn one of his 32 fights.
“I’ve been bounced off the canvas more times than a bouncy ball. I’m not this untouchable boxer everyone thinks I might be. I’m just a normal boxing man who has got lucky 32 times in a row, I think!
“Don’t doubt us, we’re going to put a show on, like no other before."
Fury and Whyte were training partners on several occasions earlier in their careers. When they have been together this there has been a surprising lack of friction, with the good will continuing at Friday’s weigh-in, where Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) scaled 18st 1lb 4oz.
They briefly danced on stage alongside one another as the music blared, having turned to face the assembled crowd, although a fired-up Fury insisted matters would be more serious when they next meet.
“[Whyte is] a decent bloke,” added Fury. “He’s got some morals and we got along like a house on fire in training camps.
Fury destroys Wilder in last fight
“He’s definitely a fearless guy, I’ve sparred him a lot in the past and he didn’t show any weaknesses at all. I’m not going to sit here and slate the fella because I’ve not got anything to slate him on.”
Fury, 33, and Whyte, 34, were in a playful spirits at the final stare down. The 6ft 9in Fury emphasised his five-inch height advantage by standing on his tiptoes at Wembley and Whyte played along by crouching down, with the pair shaking hands, trading baseball caps and sharing wide grins.
Fury, who has repeatedly suggested he will retire whatever the outcome this weekend, was clear the mood will be different when they next meet.
“We’re going to give you a real fight,” said Fury. “Don’t doubt us, we’re going to put a show on like no other before. It’s going to be a war, don’t worry about that.”
This will be Fury’s first fight on UK soil since August 2018, with his last five bouts in the United States, and it is expected to attract an estimated 94,000 spectators – a post-war British record.
Whyte was first installed as the WBC’s No 1 contender four years ago but has kept improving since then.
He has seen off the likes of Joseph Parker and Oscar Rivas in recent years before avenging his defeat to Alexander Povetkin by stopping the Russian in his last bout 13 months ago.
“Nothing is worth this wait, but we are here,” said Whyte. “I’m not someone who really complains or cries about things, but I should have had my title shot at least two years ago.
“I’m two years more seasoned, I have been through ups and down in those two years, so I am more mature as a person and a fighter.
“Maybe two years ago it wouldn’t have been as big as it is now, so in another way it could be worth the wait.” | https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/other-sport/2022/04/23/tyson-fury-ready-for-war-against-dillian-whyte-on-a-huge-night-at-wembley/ | 2022-04-23T11:38:05Z | https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/other-sport/2022/04/23/tyson-fury-ready-for-war-against-dillian-whyte-on-a-huge-night-at-wembley/ | true | 12 |
With consumer spending slowing down, a hardware subscription service for Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) could be lucrative in the long term. In this Motley Fool Live segment from "Ask Us Anything," recorded on April 12, Fool.com contributors Demitri Kalogeropoulos and Jose Najarro consider how this move could result in an even higher valuation for Apple.
{% sfr %}
Demitri Kalogeropoulos: One thing on Apple I thought that was interesting was recently, Apple has been rumored to be getting into this hardware subscription model. I know CEO Tim Cook has been talking a lot about their pivot to subscriptions and how their software services are so important. The idea, I think, it seems that the way they're trying to pivot the business is the iPhone is selling great every year, their hardware, they're max, they're refreshing their really pro computers and the new chips that they're making, all their hardware is just great and they can command quite a premium, but I think they're really trying to push into that recurring revenue model in the software side, the Apple TV and the fitness stuff and those products. They're really excited about that and how that's growing part of the portion of the business and how that can really expand the valuation of this company, because if it's a hardware maker, it's valued at a certain level because hardware is not a really big, high-margin recurring business and it goes down a lot when consumer spending goes down.
But if you can get into the subscription world, then all of a sudden you're looking at a much higher valuation and the business is much more steady and things like that. I guess the idea is that Apple could be getting into a subscription service for their iPhones and for some of their other products, which could definitely boost the stock. What do you guys think in terms of that strategy and whether or not Apple can do it?
Jose Najarro: If there was one player that I think could do the hardware subscription service, I definitely think it would be this company. I want say luckily for me, I'm still not an Apple addict. So I will be able to escape this revenue stream for that. But I can definitely see this being a strong move for the company to hey, especially during times right now where maybe consumer spending is slowing down. Maybe you don't want to spend too much money, so maybe to reduce that initial cost, I think could bode well in long term.

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — A commercial tanker that sank off the Tunisian coast and and was believed to be holding 750 tons of diesel fuel in fact held no fuel at all, according to Tunisian naval officials. The ship's crew has been detained on suspicion of criminal activity.
The sinking of the Xelo ship last week raised fears of a potential fuel spill in the Mediterranean. Tunisia's Environment Ministry activated an emergency response plan and neighboring Italy sent a barge with pollution-clearing equipment to the area.
The ship's captain initially said it contained 750 tons of fuel. But after Tunisian and Italian divers inspected the sunken ship, they found no fuel in its containers, Rear Adm. Mezri Latif told a news conference Friday.
“There was only sea water inside the ship … The ship’s valves and pumps were corroded. We deduced that the ship had not been carrying oil for a certain period,” he said.
“The ship no longer represents an ecological danger for the Gulf of Gabes. There is no fuel leak. The Navy will oversee the wreckage extraction operation and the investigation will continue to determine the exact causes of the sinking,” the Tunisian officer said.
He said the ship's bridge had been vandalized and several navigation devices had been ripped off. The GPS was destroyed with hammer blows, and the ship's bill of lading disappeared.
The seven-member crew was rescued by the Tunisian Navy after having launched a distress signal on April 16 due to bad weather conditions.
They were all detained Friday on charges of association with criminal activity, according to Mohamed Karay, spokesman for the court in the city of Gabes.
The boat was registered in Equatorial Guinea, and its crew members are from Georgia, Turkey and Azerbaijan.
The Xelo had left the port of Damietta in Egypt heading for Malta, but was diverted from its route due to bad weather conditions. | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Tunisia-Sunken-tanker-contained-no-fuel-17121574.php | 2022-04-23T11:43:28Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Tunisia-Sunken-tanker-contained-no-fuel-17121574.php | true | 12 |
Atlanta rapper Archie Eversole was fatally shot in the face as he slept TMZ reports. The 37-year-old Eversole died after the shooting. According to the police report, which was viewed by TMZ, Eversole told police his bedroom door was kicked open and he woke up to a gunshot to his face on March 25. While he said he couldn’t see who shot him at the time, his brother Alexander Krause has since been charged with murder in connection with the shooting. When police found Eversole at a gas station following the shooting, he was asked if the shooter was still in his home, and he confirmed they were. Police asked him if he knew the identity of the shooter, but he initially wouldn’t answer and then began fading in and out of consciousness. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2577407481115/apparent-victim-shines-spotlight-on-door-to-door-scammers | 2022-04-23T11:44:56Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2577407481115/apparent-victim-shines-spotlight-on-door-to-door-scammers | false | null |
