Greece: Media freedom under assault
Journalists in Greece working to hold those in power to account are facing increasing pressures.
In a democracy, the media should keep authority and government in check. In Greece, it feels more and more that it works the other way around.
Take the story of Thanasis Koukakis, a 43-year-old financial journalist who works for CNN Greece, and contributes to CNBC, the Financial Times and the Greek investigative outlet Inside Story. Citing national security concerns, in 2020 the Greek National Intelligence Service directly administered by the prime minister’s office, intercepted his communications, while he was investigating the affairs of Greek bankers and businessmen. When the journalist became aware of this, the government tried to erase traces of the interception. Shortly after, his mobile phone was infected with the Predator spyware. The software allows the user to gain full access to a target’s phone to extract data, contacts, and messages, including those sent through encrypted applications, as well as turn on the microphone and access the camera.
Koukakis is not the only victim of interception by the National Intelligence Service. Reporters of Solomon, a team of investigative journalists researching migrant conditions in Greece, Iliana Papangeli, and Stavros Malichudis also discovered that they had been subjected to surveillance by the Greek intelligence services, which monitored their work with minors on the island of Kos.
Soon after the pair discovered the Secret Service’s interest in their reporting, they broke another story, about an NGO dealing with migrant housing that had possible ties to political figures. The response? A SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation).
In another instance, Stavroula Poulimeni, a member of a journalist cooperative called AlterThess, was sued by a gold mining executive convicted of serious environmental crimes in northern Greece. The businessman accused her of processing his “sensitive personal data” by reporting on his prior criminal conviction.
The government seems to approve of such legal gambits. A new law authorises the National Council for Radio and Television (NCRTV) to impose recurrent administrative fines on newspapers for slander. The NCRTV has jurisdiction over channels using public frequencies. This alarms the Athens Daily Newspaper Journalists’ Union, which claims that the new regulation directly violates articles involving press freedom under the Greek Constitution.
Under this law, the fines will be claimed by the majority shareholders when the company that publishes the newspaper fails to pay and will be collected by the private monopoly distributor of Argos, owned by a government-friendly media mogul. The journalist union argues that the new rule threatens the viability of the media, especially the smaller, independent ones.
A similar alarm was voiced by the Media Freedom Rapid Response, a group that monitors press freedom in the European community. “Challenges to the independence of the media and the safety of journalists are systemic in Greece,” asserted a recent report.
It argues that news that is inconvenient for the government, including probes into serious human rights violations, does not get widely reported. This causes a significant obstacle to the public’s access to information and, subsequently, their informed participation in the democratic process.
According to the MFRR immigration policy, human rights violations committed in its implementation, and the humanitarian crisis that the migrant stream has created are highly sensitive topics for the government. Journalists face obstructions including arbitrary arrest and detention, restriction of access to migration hotspots, surveillance and harassment when they try to report on these topics. And even when independent journalists rely on official information, they face a complete lack of transparency or even denial to provide information.
Going after the messenger: the cases of Vaxevanis and Papadakou
In January, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis survived a no-confidence vote tabled in parliament by the left-wing opposition over the government’s handling of a snowstorm that paralysed the country. In a speech to parliament, Mitsotakis referred to the journalists who disclosed the Novartis corruption scandal in Greece as a “gang” who are “free to exercise character assassination” – a term interpreted as a straightforward attempt to influence the judiciary.
Prosecutors had summoned Kostas Vaxevanis, the editor of the publication Documento, and Yianna Papadakou, a former television presenter, to Athens’ Supreme Court a few days earlier. They charged the two journalists with crimes linked to their reporting about government officials, including ex-ministers, who allegedly accepted bribes from the Swiss pharmaceutical corporation Novartis in order to control the pricing of specific drugs.
The accused politicians have rejected the charges, claiming they are politically motivated. This is despite the fact that the US Department of Justice in 2020 imposed a $347m fine on Novartis, due to the case. While it did not disclose any names, the company admitted to making illegal payments to Greek providers.
The anti-corruption prosecutor’s probe, which began in 2016, closed the case against two Greek lawmakers in January. A second inquiry, however, is continuing in Greece, looking into an alleged frame-up involving a former minister, the corruption prosecutors who probed the Novartis case, and the two journalists.
Participation in a criminal group, collaboration in wrongdoing and two counts of complicity in the misuse of authority are among the allegations levelled against the journalists. According to a new provision of the penal code approved only weeks ago, minor offences related to a “criminal group” will now result in actual prison sentences.
In other words, Papadakou and Vaxevanis, who reported extensively on the Novartis scandal, could see jail time. Such prosecution effectively could create a troubling precedent. It also raises concerns about whether whistleblower witnesses in the case against Novartis will continue to be considered credible, or whether they will be charged as well.
It’s worth noting that Greece was one of 17 European countries that failed to incorporate a new directive on the protection of whistleblowers in their legal systems and is now coming under pressure. The COVID-19 pandemic has added to the burden by reducing journalists’ rights to access information.
Reporters Without Borders last year ranked Greece 70th in its global index of press freedom, five positions lower than in 2020. The country’s standing has declined steadily over the previous decade, a trend that is likely to continue, judging from recent events.
The government fiercely denies those accusations, stressing that pluralism is granted in the country. But democracy is safeguarded when the press is free to speak truth to power. That should not be the job of the courts to define and decide.
Vera Jourova, the EU Commissioner for Values and Transparency, openly warned that “the 2022 Rule of Law Report will pay particular attention to developments pertaining to the press freedom and the safety of journalists”.
These concerns have become particularly worrying in the case of the murder of crime reporter Giorgos Karaivaz, outside his home a year ago. Despite pressure from Greek and European journalists’ associations, there has been little progress in the case and those responsible have not been brought to justice.
Even conservative politicians are now raising concerns about press freedom in the country, suggesting, what many of us are afraid of, that the conservative Greek government has been seduced by the populist conservative turn of countries across Europe, and no longer strives to be part of the so-called moderate liberal conservative milieu.
The trend in Greece is indicative of the broader tension rising in some EU countries around the rule of law and the protection of freedoms – the core values of the EU. But the situation in Greece is becoming particularly grim with regard to matters of the press as problems accumulate, gradually attracting the interest of more media freedom watchdogs. Seven groups, including Reporters Without Borders and the European Federation of Journalists are now raising “serious concerns” about the case of Koukakis. The Greek government should do more to protect press freedom.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Two people were injured in a shooting late Friday on the campus of Savannah State University, campus officials said.
Campus police responded to the shootings near the university's football stadium, where the two wounded people were treated by emergency responders before being taken to a hospital, university officials said in a statement Saturday.
Administrators said Savannah police and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation were assisting campus police in investigating. No arrests had been announced and no other details were released.
The university did not say whether the people injured were students.
At least four other people have been shot in separate crimes on Savannah State’s campus since 2014, including two victims who were killed. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/2-injured-in-shooting-on-Georgia-university-campus-17121774.php | 2022-04-23T16:58:06Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/2-injured-in-shooting-on-Georgia-university-campus-17121774.php | false | null |
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (AP) — An Air Force major general in Ohio has been convicted by a military judge of one of three specifications of abusive sexual contact in the first-ever military trial of an Air Force general.
The charge faced by Maj. Gen. William Cooley during the weeklong court martial at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio had three specifications, one alleging a forcible kiss and two alleging forcible touching.
Cooley was convicted of the first specification but acquitted of the second and third in a decision announced as soon as the military court opened Saturday morning, the Dayton Daily News reported.
A former commander of Air Force Research Laboratory, Cooley was charged with abusive sexual contact in an encounter with a woman who gave him a ride after a backyard barbecue in New Mexico nearly four years ago. Officials said the woman is a civilian who is not a Department of Defense employee.
Cooley was to be sentenced Monday morning and could face as much as seven years in jail as well as loss of rank, pay and benefits.
“Today marks the first time an Air Force general officer has been held responsible for his heinous actions,” the woman's attorney Ryan Guilds, said in a statement, the newspaper reported. “... Hopefully, this will not be as difficult for the next survivor.”
Cooley was fired from his research laboratory position in January 2020 after an Air Force investigation and has worked in an administrative job since then. A message seeking comment was left for his attorney Saturday. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Split-verdict-in-first-ever-Air-Force-general-17121809.php | 2022-04-23T17:01:36Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Split-verdict-in-first-ever-Air-Force-general-17121809.php | true | 13 |
Which flat sheet is best?
You spend a third of your life in bed, so your choice of sheets shouldn’t be an afterthought. A flat sheet is next to your skin as you sleep, so picking the best one can give you a more comfortable and relaxing night’s rest.
The material should be one of the first factors you consider, but you might also mull over the thread count, color and how easy it is to clean. If you’re looking for a quality cotton sheet, the California Design Den King Flat Sheet is an excellent choice.
What to know before you buy a flat sheet
Materials
Cotton, microfiber and polyester are perhaps the most common sheet materials, but it’s worth considering some less common options, such as flannel, linen and jersey.
- Cotton: A classic choice, cotton sheets are breathable and can feel either crisp or silky, depending on the weave.
- Cotton jersey: Jersey is a soft, stretchy type of cotton that’s similar to T-shirt or sweatshirt material. It’s soft and cozy but can feel too warm for summer use.
- Flannel: Flannel is a thick brushed material that can be made from cotton or synthetic fibers. Like jersey, it’s warm and soft but too hot for summer.
- Linen: Linen is a natural material made from flax fibers. It’s less heavily processed than cotton, which is important to some buyers. It feels soft right away and drapes beautifully, but it’s prone to wrinkling.
- Polyester: Polyester sheets are inexpensive but they aren’t breathable, which is bad if you sleep hot. They generally feel crisp but soften over time.
- Microfiber: Microfiber is a type of synthetic material that can be smooth or brushed. Either way, it’s extremely soft but not everyone likes the feeling of it.
Thread count
When you’re buying cotton sheets, most manufacturers list the thread count. This is the number of fibers per square inch of fabric. It ranges from under 200 to over 1,000, but higher isn’t always better.
A thread count of around 400-600 gives you sheets that are soft and strong but anything over 600 can feel stiff. Plus, some manufacturers twist in extra fibers to inflate the thread count without making the fabric any stronger.
What to look for in a quality flat sheet
Color or print
Most top sheets come in a range of colors, so you can pick one that matches your bedroom decor, bottom sheet or other bedding. Occasionally, you can find sheets with prints rather than solid colors.
Sets
While you can buy flat and fitted bed sheets separately, many people choose to buy sheet sets. This way you can be certain your top and bottom sheets match for a cohesive look.
Washability
All sheets are machine washable — otherwise, changing your bedding would be a huge ordeal. However, you should check the label to see at what temperature to wash them. It’s usually recommended to wash sheets on high to kill germs, but some materials require a lower temperature. Also, check if they’re suitable for tumble drying or if they must be air-dried.
How much you can expect to spend on a flat sheet
A single bottom sheet can cost as little as $5-$10 when made from polyester or microfiber or as much as $50-$80 when made from high-quality natural materials, such as linen.
Flat sheet FAQ
What is a flat sheet used for?
A. Also known as a top sheet, this type of sheet is designed to use over the top of a fitted sheet. You can tuck it in around the bottom and sides of the mattress, but it’s folded down at the top end so you can sleep underneath it but on top of the fitted sheet.
In the height of summer, you may sleep under just a sheet, but usually, it sits below a blanket or comforter. This keeps the thicker items of bedding clean so they don’t need frequent laundering.
What’s the difference between sateen and percale?
A. Sateen and percale are two types of weaves that sheet materials can have. Sateen sheets have a tight weave that makes them heavier and gives them a silky feeling and a slight sheet. Percale sheets have a crisp, matt finish that softens over time. This type of weave is more breathable than sateen, so it’s great for summer use or for hot sleepers.
What’s the best flat sheet to buy?

What’s in a name? An animal park in Bavaria is changing the name of one of its most popular pigs. A Russian boar named Putin will now be known as Eberhofer after 2,700 suggestions were tallied. The park is also looking to rename a jackal who fell in love, turned his back on his family and relocated to the other side of the park. With votes still pouring in the name Harry Markle has a sizable lead.
Former Met Steven Matz spent one season in Toronto (or was it Buffalo, or was it Dunedin) and now the bluebird is a redbird. Matz’s debut was a disaster (seven runs, three innings) but he rebounded, blanking the Brewers over 5 ²/₃. The Cards are in Cincinnati. At 22 years old, Reds rookie Hunter Greene, is well, green, but has shown promise, allowing five runs over 10 ¹/₃. This will be Greene’s first start at home. We will back the Cards for 10 units.

Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia), Apr 23 (PTI) Ravi Dahiya's physical prowess and superior tactical acumen was on show yet again as he became the first Indian wrestler to win three gold medals at the Asian Championship but Bajrang Punia struggled badly on his return to action even as he grabbed a silver, here on Saturday.
Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Ravi was his usual dominant self in his three bouts as he outclassed the 57kg field to emerge champion.
Gourav Balian (79kg) was impressive in his silver-winning effort while Naveen (70kg), making his senior debut and the seasoned Satyawart Kadiyan (97kg), bagged bronze medals as all five Indians in action earned podium finishes.
The 24-year-old Ravi Dahiya conceded early lead in all his bouts, but as is his wont, he bounced back in tremendous fashion to give India its first gold medal of this edition. He won the final against Kazakhstan's Rakhat Kalzhan by technical superiority.

It was his second final of the season, having won a silver at the Dan Kolov event in February.
Ravi, who hails from Nahri village in Sonepat, outsmarted Japan's Rikuto Arai (VSU) and pulled off a comprehensive 12-5 win over Mongolia's Zanabazar Zandanbud en route the final.
In the title clash, Kalzhan moved ahead with a take-down and for considerable time did not let the Indian make any move. However, true to his style, Ravi began to dominate the bout with his unmatched class.
He effected six consecutive two-pointers and in-between saved himself from a left-leg attack to finish the bout early in the second period to secure India's first gold medal of the tournament this year.
Before the final, the Japanese was quick with his moves and initially troubled Ravi with his double-leg attacks which even took the Indian off his feet but once the Haryana wrestler got the measure of his rival, he dictated the terms in the bout.
Ravi not only found away to block Arai's attack but also got himself into position to initiate take-down moves from both sides as the Japanese did not have a plan 'B' to counter the in-form Indian.
Ravi kept consolidating his lead and eventually won by technical superiority.
In the semifinal against Zandanbud, Ravi fell behind 0-4 after the home wrestler effected a take-down move and followed that up with a gut-wrench but Ravi again was quick in finding a way to thwart his rival.
In no time, he effected five back-to-back two-pointers to pull ahead and easily reached the final.
Ravi had won gold at the 2020 edition in Delhi and in Almaty last year.
Bajrang Punia, competing in his first tournament since winning a bronze at the Tokyo Games, looked like a pale shadow of himself. Hardly any attacking move was seen from him as he was engaged in standing wrestling, largely defending.
Even against the easiest of rivals -- Abbos Rakhmonov (UZB) and Haji Mohamad Ali (BRN) -- Bajrang's aggression was no where to be seen. Had it been a tough field, he would have struggled even more.
"I agree that Bajrang is not where we would have liked to see him at this stage, but there are a lot of reason behind that," Bajrang's personal coach Sujeet Maan told PTI.
"He missed a few tournaments and practice due to injury, there was no physio with him, so we lost time. We also could not train at a high-altitude place to prepare well for this tournament," he added.
"It takes time to get back to best. Bajrang was competing after many months, so it's natural that there's a bit of hesitation."
In the final against Rahman Mousa Amouzadkhalili, the reigning junior champion from Iran, Bajrang was so passive that he was put on clock. The Iranian kept Bajrang's upper body in his hold along with the left wrist, straight-jacketing him.
Rahman earned two points with a right leg attack while lack of action from Bajrang meant that final was a drab affair.
"He is a new guy on senior circuit. No one has seen him much, so that novelty factor was there," Maan said of the Iranian and the final.
It was Bajrang's eighth medal at the Asian Championship.
However, Gourav (79kg) set the mat on fire his gritty performance, including in the final against formidable Ali Bakhtiar Savadkouhi from Iran.
He lost the final on criteria after score was tied 9-9 (Iranian had a high-scoring 4-point move) to settle for silver but won hearts with his fearless approach.
At one time he was trailing 0-8 but turned the bout around in the second period, going for his attacks. The Iranian, who was tiring towards the end, also lost two caution points for poking the Indian.
Gourav had overpowered Turkmenistan's Gurbanmyrat Ovezberdiyev in super quick time, finishing the quarterfinal in just 28 seconds with five consecutive gut-wrench after getting hold of his opponent.
His semi-final was a tough contest with Kyrgyzstan's Arsalan Budazhapov fighting tooth and nail. In the fast-paced contest, in which counter-attacks from both the wrestlers made it an engrossing bout, Gourav was trailing 4-5 and just 14 seconds to go, he found a match-changing take-down move to make it 6-5 and eventually won 8-5.
India have now won 15 medals, including one gold and four silver medals, in the continental championship.

PRAGUE (AP) — 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.”

Railway police personnel in South Assam's Karimganj district detained two Ukrainian nationals from a Delhi-bound train on Friday for failing to produce travel documents.
Police said the duo Chrisinsky Volodimir, 39 and Nazari Voznyuk, 22 were detained at Badarpur railway station from Tripura Sundari Express, which was coming from Agartala.
"Railway protection force suspected their movement and accordingly questioned them about travel documents. The duo told them that they lost their visas in Tripura. As they could not produce the travel documents, they have been detained. We have contacted the Ukraine consulate office in New Delhi to clarify if they have valid visa documents. They will remain detained till we get a response," said a police official at Badarpur.
"They told us that they had come to India before Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But we are waiting for a response from their consulate to be sure when they had come to India and why they visited Tripura," he added. The two will be arrested if the Consulate does not respond by Friday night, he said.

The bizarre foreign driving laws you never knew about – and could land YOU with a fine this summer holiday
BRITISH holidaymakers are eager to head abroad this summer but make sure you know the rules of the road before you set off on your trip.
Around 34 million holidays trips are made each year with many hiring a car to get around - while over 11 million take their own car to Europe by ferry or the Channel Tunnel.
Yet a quarter will feel uneasy on the roads in holiday hotspots like Spain and France.
A study by Euro Car Parts found people don't know the speed limits on main roads or the rules regarding child seats.
And there are plenty of unusual rules that could land you in hot water - so it's a good idea to get yourself familiar with them.
For example, in Spain driving in high heels, flip-flops and bare feet could land you with a fine.
While blue and white curbstones can catch out people who don't swot up on parking regulations - it means short stops are permitted but no parking.
If you need glasses to drive, you must have a spare pair in your car at all times, too.
MOST READ IN MOTORS
In France, the prefix 'Bis' on road signs can secure you some great holiday snaps as it means scenic or rural route.
And if you're unlucky enough to be hit by a rain shower, the speed limit on French motorways drops from 130km/h to 110km/h.
Also, having speed camera detectors is illegal.
Other holiday hotspots like Greece and Portugal also have their own unique laws that you need to watch out for.
In Portugal, a yellow '90' disc must be displayed in the car if you've held your licence for less than a year - you can apply for this from the ACP (Automovel de Club Portugal), the Portuguese motoring club.
While in Greece who can't use the horn in towns and urban areas - unless it's the only means of avoiding an accident.
But although the Greek police is authorised to impose fines in cases of violation of traffic regulations, they can't be collected on the spot by the police. Motorists must pay the fines within 10 days otherwise legal proceedings will be started.
That's different to Italy where police can impose a fine on the driver of a foreign-registered vehicle or a vehicle with EE plates and collect one quarter of the maximum fine on-the-spot - but make sure you get a receipt.
Martin Gray, from Euro Car Parts, said: "Driving abroad needn’t be a scary thing.
"With the right preparation and by taking plenty of care, a foreign road trip can be an exciting and be a great part of your holiday." | https://www.the-sun.com/motors/5187157/the-bizarre-foreign-driving-laws-you-never-knew-about-and-could-land-you-with-a-fine-this-summer-holiday/ | 2022-04-23T17:17:32Z | https://www.the-sun.com/motors/5187157/the-bizarre-foreign-driving-laws-you-never-knew-about-and-could-land-you-with-a-fine-this-summer-holiday/ | false | 4 |
DELAND, Fla. – After more than two years of waiting for 33 weeks of state and federal unemployment benefits, worth more than $14,000, an unemployed DeLand woman is one step closer to collecting her cash.
Joyce Young, a former private companion in the Alzheimer’s unit at Westminster Winter Park, told News 6 she applied for benefits twice in March 2020 after the facility restricted visitors because of COVID-19.
[TRENDING: ‘Disney chose to kick the hornet’s nest:’ Florida bill threatens theme parks’ home government | Portillo’s opening second Central Florida location | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
“I applied twice and was denied twice,” she recalled.
Young said she was able to get help from staff members at CareerSource in Orange City and file a third application for benefits, paving the way for her first payment from the Department of Economic Opportunity last December.
Still, she was fighting to get all those back benefits and reached out to News 6 and Make Ends Meet for help.
“I had just about given up,” she told News 6. “I wasn’t able to get assistance. I couldn’t get anyone on the phone and you guys came through for me 100%.”
News 6 met with Young outside of the CareerSource office after all 33 weeks were made available on her Connect account.
“I’m thrilled, so thrilled,” she said. “To all the people out there, if you need help, call Channel 6 news. They will help you just like they helped me.”
If you feel you are still eligible for back benefits, email makeendsmeet@wkmg.com or text the words “Make Ends Meet” along with your issue to 407-676-7428. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/04/22/assistant-for-alzheimers-patient-finally-cleared-for-36-weeks-in-back-unemployment-benefits/ | 2022-04-23T17:21:29Z | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/04/22/assistant-for-alzheimers-patient-finally-cleared-for-36-weeks-in-back-unemployment-benefits/ | true | 1 |
- Two presentations on the Phase 2b clinical trial show CSF-1 met the primary endpoints and achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) for participants with presbyopia
- Presbyopia is the loss of ability to focus on near objects as a result of the natural aging process and affects more than 120 million people in the U.S.
PONTE VEDRA, Fla. , April 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Orasis Pharmaceuticals, an emerging ophthalmic pharmaceutical company focused on developing a unique eye drop to improve near vision for people with presbyopia, today announced Phase 2b data demonstrating the efficacy and safety of its novel eye drop candidate, CSF-1, for the treatment of presbyopia at the 2022 American Society for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) Annual Meeting being held April 22-26 in Washington, D.C. The Phase 2b trial served as the foundation for the design and conduct of the Phase 3 NEAR-1 and NEAR-2 clinical trials of CSF-1, for which topline results were recently announced.
In the first Paper Session, which will be presented on Monday, April 25, the Phase 2b trial results showed that CSF-1 (pilocarpine hydrochloride 0.4%) preservative-free ophthalmic solution formulated in a proprietary vehicle met its primary endpoint, with 47% of participants in the CSF-1 group achieving a 3-line or more gain in DCNVA 1-hour post-treatment on Day 15 compared to 16% in the vehicle group (P=0.0002). Additionally, the trial met its secondary endpoint, with 80% of participants in the CSF-1 group achieving a 2-line or more gain in DCNVA compared to 43% in the vehicle group (P=0.0001). CSF-1 demonstrated tolerability with a favorable safety profile. The most reported treatment-related adverse events experienced by over 5% of trial participants included instillation site pain (5.5%), headache (9.1%) and vision blur (10.9%) with all adverse events in the study reported as mild, transient and self-resolving.
"In addition to meeting the primary endpoint, achieving the secondary endpoint of a 2-line or more gain is clinically meaningful, especially for early presbyopes whose near vision is not yet severely impacted," said Marjan Farid, M.D., presenting author. "We're also encouraged that there was no negative impact on distance or night vision, which is critical when looking at the potential benefit of an investigative treatment like CSF-1 could bring to patients to help them manage in their day-to-day lives."
Additionally, a post hoc analysis of the Phase 2b trial of CSF-1 will be presented in the second Paper Session on Monday, April 25. The analysis met its primary endpoint of sustained improvement, with 47% of participants showing an improvement of 20/40 visual acuity (VA) level or better consistently over an 8-hour period on Day 15 following one dose of CSF-1. In both monocular and binocular measurements, the proportion of participants who achieved sustained DCNVA improvements was higher in the CSF-1 group vs. vehicle for participants assessed for sustained 20/40 vision across all time points (P<0.05).
"These results, which showed that a greater proportion of participants receiving CSF-1 achieved sustained functional near vision of 20/40 or better compared to vehicle when tested binocularly, demonstrate clinically meaningful improvement that may allow individuals treated with CSF-1 to more easily conduct day-to-day activities requiring near vision," said Preeya K. Gupta, M.D., presenting author.
Binocular summation, or the superiority of binocular performance over monocular performance, is acutely involved with improved visual acuity.1,2,3 As binocular suppression is observed in a majority of patients with presbyopia,4 achieving binocular summation is an important marker for evaluating efficacy of potential treatments for this age-related condition.
"We are pleased with the favorable safety and efficacy results from this study, as well as the rapid onset and sustained duration of action," said Elad Kedar, Chief Executive Officer of Orasis Pharmaceuticals. "The Phase 2b trial provided robust data and critical direction to inform the Phase 3 NEAR-1 and NEAR-2 clinical trials, for which we recently reported similar positive, topline efficacy and safety results. The consistency of these results, which had nearly identical designs, reinforces CSF-1's efficacy, safety and comfort, and its potential to provide a first-line treatment option for people living with presbyopia."

CSF-1 is a novel corrective eye drop candidate being investigated for the treatment of presbyopia. CSF-1 is a proprietary, preservative-free formulation of low-dose pilocarpine and multi-faceted vehicle designed to achieve an optimal balance between efficacy, safety and comfort. CSF-1 improves near visual acuity by pupil modulation, resulting in a "pinhole effect" and an increase in the depth of field, thus increasing the ability to focus on near objects.
Presbyopia is the loss of ability to focus on near objects as a result of the natural aging process. It occurs mostly after the age of 40 when the crystalline lens of the eye gradually stiffens and loses flexibility. There are almost two billion people globally and more than 120 million people in the U.S. living with presbyopia. People with presbyopia experience blurred vision when performing daily tasks that require near visual acuity, such as reading a book, a restaurant menu, or messages on a smartphone. Presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed, and it continues to progress gradually. Many existing treatment options can be either cumbersome or invasive, presenting a significant unmet need for quality-of-life improvement for people with presbyopia.
Orasis Pharmaceuticals is developing CSF-1, a corrective eye drop for the treatment of presbyopia as an alternative to reading glasses. By repurposing existing and well-studied molecules, CSF-1 is designed to be effective, safe, comfortable, and easy-to-use. Orasis is led by a collaborative team of industry executives and eye care specialists with a broad range of experiences in research, development, and commercialization of pharmaceutical drugs, as well as finance and business development. Orasis is funded by a diverse group of sophisticated and experienced life science and healthcare investors including the ophthalmology focused venture capital fund Visionary Ventures, Sequoia Capital, SBI (Japan) Innovation Fund, Bluestem Capital, LifeSci Venture Partners, Maverick Ventures Israel, and other private investors. Orasis has offices in the U.S. and Israel. For more information, visit www.orasis-pharma.com and connect with us on LinkedIn.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran resumed talks with regional rival Saudi Arabia months after secret Baghdad-brokered talks were suspended, state-linked media reported Saturday.
The Iranian news website Nournews, considered to be close to the country’s Supreme National Security Council, said a fifth round of talks was held in Baghdad. Ranking security officials from both sides as well as Iraqi and Omani officials, participated it said. It was not immediately clear when the talks took place. The fourth round took place in September.
Nournews reported a positive atmosphere permeated the talks increasing hopes for “steps on the path of resumption of ties” between the two nations, including a joint meeting of foreign ministers. Nournews also published a photo of two Iranian and Saudi officials standing at the side of Iraqi premier Mustafa al-Kadhimi.
Iraq borders both Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Iran, the largest Shiite Muslim country in the world, and Sunni powerhouse Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties in 2016 after Saudi Arabia executed prominent Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr. Angry Iranians protesting the execution stormed two Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran, fueling years of animosity between the nations.
In March, Tehran said it temporarily suspend the talks, aimed at defusing yearslong tensions, after Saudi Arabia put to death 81 people convicted of crimes ranging from killings to ties to militant groups. Activists believe more three dozen Shiites were among those executed.
The Baghdad-mediated talks between the regional foes began quietly in Iraq’s capital last year as Saudi Arabia sought a way to end its disastrous war against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The conflict has spawned one of the world’s worst humanitarian disasters and brought bombs from rebel drones and missiles raining down on Saudi airports and oil facilities.
Saudi Shiites, who live primarily in the kingdom’s oil-rich east, have long complained of being treated as second-class citizens. Saudi Arabia’s executions of Shiites have stirred regional unrest in the past. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Reports-Iran-Saudis-resume-talks-in-Iraq-after-17121832.php | 2022-04-23T17:26:00Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Reports-Iran-Saudis-resume-talks-in-Iraq-after-17121832.php | true | 13 |
This is exactly what the Orioles and club ace John Means were dreading.
But it is what we all basically feared when Means failed to return to the mound in the fifth inning on April 13, leaving with what was termed at the time, “left forearm tightness.”
That diagnosis turned into a left elbow strain when he was placed on the 10-day injured list, and then a left elbow sprain when he was moved to the 60-day injured list, all with the ominous phrases of “additional tests” and “second opinion” sprinkled in.
Means, who turns 29 Sunday, officially broke the news himself Saturday on Twitter. He’s having elbow-ligament (Tommy John) surgery this Wednesday with the same surgeon who did Orioles prospect Carter Baumler’s TJ surgery in 2020. “After multiple MRI’s it’s confirmed that I need Tommy John surgery,” Means tweeted. “I’m obviously disappointed, but more motivated than ever.”
His 2022 season ends after two starts, eight innings and a 3.38 ERA. He didn’t have the normal symptoms leading up to this surgery, but tests showed he has nearly a full tear of the ligament.
Although individual timelines vary, it usually takes roughly a year for a pitcher to return to full strength, putting in significant jeopardy Means’ chances of being the club’s Opening Day starter for a third consecutive season – and thus being just the third Oriole since 1978 to reach that accomplishment (Chris Tillman, 2014-16; Mike Mussina, 1994-96 and 1998-2000).
That, of course, is the last thing on Means’ mind right now. This is a guy who hasn’t had elbow troubles before, a guy whose goal was to get as close to 200 innings as possible. A guy who thought there was nothing structurally wrong with his elbow on April 13. He thought he could be back throwing in a couple days.
And now he has a long, excruciating road ahead of him. A brutal result for a pitcher in his prime.
Tommy John surgery has become so commonplace that it’s widely dismissed as routine.
But it’s not. It’s anything but.
For a pitcher to battle back to where he was before Tommy John surgery, it takes an extensive and grueling rehabilitation process. Although some pitchers come back throwing harder, some never return to their previous form.
The physical aspect is one challenge, but the mental hurdles may be more difficult. The boredom, the frustration, the discipline to follow a plan without skipping ahead.
One thing we know about Means the ballplayer is that he’s not the patient sort. It drove him crazy the last few seasons each time he had to sit out for a spell as he rehabbed the muscles in his upper back/shoulder area. He also stormed back after the death of his father in 2020, pitching with such anger and intensity that manager Brandon Hyde had to have a sit-down with Means to remind him that his ability to control his emotions and focus on individual hitters is what made him so good (along with his changeup).
One thing we know about Means the person is that he has never shied away from challenges, no matter how daunting. Whether it was having to switch high schools to play varsity or not initially having any Division I scholarship offers or being selected in the 11th round in 2014 or spending five seasons in the minors, Means hurdled them all on his way to the majors.
He’s a religious man who will lean on his faith, his family and the Orioles organization to get through this and return to the mound at some point in 2023.
Certainly, that is the hope.
One thing that is certain is that the surgery won’t affect his arbitration situation – not this year anyway. Means is the lone player the Orioles are taking to a hearing in 2022. Numbers were exchanged last month – his camp filed at $3.1 million, and the club filed at $2.7 million. Regardless of his injury, a panel will choose one figure or the other based on his previous work heading into 2022.
Another certainty: The Orioles won’t be dealing Means this year. Almost nothing in baseball torpedoes trade value like TJ surgery.
If you want to look for a positive here, that’s a solid place to search. The popular Means will likely remain an Oriole through the 2023 season – he’s not a free agent until the 2024-25 offseason – and the market for him after a couple months of pitching again probably won’t be particularly scalding next July. So, now, the most logical scenario is the club doesn’t move Means until the 2023-24 offseason, if at all.
Of course, if we are chugging from the half-empty glass, that means the rebuilding Orioles’ chance at a prospect haul for their best pitcher has been significantly reduced. You can no longer dream on this one. He’ll be either a one-year rental or a recently repaired arm when he’s shopped, and that corresponding return is unlikely to be overwhelming.
But let’s also remember this guy is more than a trade chip. Means was an All-Star, the ace of this rotation and one of the primary leaders in the clubhouse. Now, he’ll be rehabbing elsewhere and won’t be with the club much, if at all, in 2022. And that’s a void that’s difficult to quantify when it comes to mentoring an inexperienced staff.
There’s also the question as to who will replace Means’ innings for the remainder of this season. Chris Ellis filled in admirably Tuesday, throwing 4 1/3 scoreless against the Oakland Athletics. But a rotation of Jordan Lyles, Bruce Zimmermann, Ellis, Spenser Watkins and Tyler Wells — who will be limited to three-to-four innings each start — likely won’t stay intact throughout the rest of this season. It’s possible that full group doesn’t make it to early May.
Top pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez (2-0, 1.26 ERA in 14 1/3 innings) and Kyle Bradish (2-0, 1.20 ERA in 15 innings) have torn up Triple A so far this month. It would be a shock if the 22-year-old Rodriguez were thrown into the majors after only a handful of starts at Norfolk. But Bradish, 25, has made 22 starts for the Tides since last May and he threw 86 pitches and six strong innings on Friday, the longest he has lasted in a Triple-A game.
The Orioles may want to build up Bradish a little more – the organization limited him to four and five innings, respectively, in his first two starts, but he certainly is doing his part to bang on the big-league door this month. When the Orioles deem he’s ready, he’ll be promoted.
Even if Bradish is successful for the Orioles, and even if the current starters continue their good mojo, and even if Rodriguez comes up in the first half of the season guns-a-blazing, the Means’ surgery news is still difficult to take.
He set an example on and off the field for his teammates to follow. He took pressure off the bullpen, and he also provided the possibility of being a long-term answer or an intriguing short-term trade chip.
Now, Means is just another professional pitcher dealing with Tommy John surgery and rehab. A sobering, and cruel, reality.

Soccer-Jesus hits four as Man City extend lead at top with thrashing of Watford
By Peter Hall
MANCHESTER, England, April 23 (Reuters) - Four goals from Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus earned Manchester City a 5-1 win over relegation-threatened Watford on Saturday, a victory that moved Pep Guardiola's side four points clear at the top of the Premier League standings.
With title rivals Liverpool not in action until Sunday against Everton, City were overwhelming favourites to put Watford to the sword at the Etihad Stadium, with a double from Jesus' edging them 2-0 in front inside 24 minutes.
Watford then briefly threatened to make a game of it as French defender Hassane Kamara's first goal in English football five minutes later brought the visitors to within one of City.
However, a stunning strike from Spain international Rodri restored City's two-goal advantage in the 34th minute before Jesus completed his first Premier League hat-trick early in the second half after converting from the penalty spot.
Not done there, the 25-year-old tapped home his fourth in the 53rd minute to complete the rout. City took their foot off the gas from there on in, with Tuesday's Champions League semi final first-leg against Real Madrid in mind.
The comprehensive victory moved champions City on to 80 points from 33 matches played, four clear of Liverpool ahead of Sunday's Merseyside derby, while Watford head towards relegation, sitting 19th seven points from safety.
"If there is one person who deserves matches like that it is Gabriel," Guardiola said. "Everyone is so happy for him.
"Without the ball, does not matter what position he plays in, he helps us a lot, in this game, all season. He has to be there, he is so generous. When you behave like this, football can reward you.
"We have one month of the season to go, we need players like Gabriel."
The visitors would have been fearing the worst on their trip north. Guardiola had won all 10 of his previous meetings with Watford in all competitions, and by an aggregate score of 42-4, before Saturday's clash.
It did not take long for City to get on the scoresheet once again in the Etihad sunshine, as Jesus, who was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in the British media this week, reminded Guardiola of what he could do with a poacher's finish just four minutes in.
City had more than 83% possession in the first 15 minutes as they controlled proceedings, adding a second through Jesus again, on the end of a sumptuous cross from Kevin De Bruyne.
Kamara's drilled finish offered Watford only a brief reprieve, from what was their own meaningful attempt on goal all match, with Rodri drawing gasps from all around as he rifled his fourth league goal of the season past helpless Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster.
There was no slacking off from City, as just 15 seconds into the second half Jesus was fouled by Foster in the area before, after a lengthy VAR check, getting up to slot home from the penalty spot to complete his treble.
A familiar source created the fifth and final goal for City as De Bruyne laid the ball across for Jesus to cap a memorable afternoon for the Brazilian.
Jesus' first Premier League hat-trick came in his 155th appearance in the English top flight. He was the fifth Brazilian hat-trick scorer in the competition, after Afonso Alves, Robinho, Roberto Firmino and Lucas Moura, but first of those to score four in a single match.
"I am not surprised when City score three or more goals because they are so good no matter who they play," Watford boss Roy Hodgson said.
"Heavy defeats weigh heavy on our confidence. We need to put this game aside, but learn from our mistakes. I will not accept we are relegated until we actually are."

RIO DE JANEIRO – Colorful floats and flamboyant dancers are delighting tens of thousands jammed into Rio de Janeiro's iconic Sambadrome, putting on a delayed Carnival celebration after the pandemic halted the dazzling displays.
Rio de Janeiro’s top samba schools began strutting their stuff late Friday, which was the first evening of the two-night spectacle.
Ketula Melo, 38, a muse in the Imperatriz Leopoldinense school dressed as the Iemanja deity of Afro-Brazilian religions, was thrilled to be back at the Sambadrome.
“These two years were horrible. Now we can be happy again,” Melo said as she was about to enter Friday night wearing a black and white costume made of shells that barely covered her body.
Rio's Sambadrome has been home to the parade since the 1980s, and is a symbol of Brazil's Carnival festivities. During the pandemic, it was a shelter for more than 400 homeless people and also served as a vaccination station.
Brazil confirmed its first cases of the coronavirus in mid-March 2020, just after that year's Carnival festivities came to an end. The 2021 edition was swiftly cancelled due to the rise of the delta variant. More than 663,000 people have died from COVID-19 in Brazil, the second highest of any country in the world, according to Our World in Data, an online research site.
Entire communities rally around the competing samba schools, whose shows are not only a source of pride but also employment since preparations require countless seamstresses, welders, costume designers and more. There are months of rehearsals for dancers and drummers, so participants can learn the tune and the lyrics for their school's song. The pandemic upended these samba schools' way of life for two years.
Sao Paulo also kicked off its Carnival parade Friday evening. Both cities' parades usually take place in February or March, but their mayors in January jointly announced they were postponing Carnival by two months due to concerns about the proliferation of the omicron variant.
The number of COVID-19 cases and deaths has plunged since then, and more than three-quarters of Brazilians are fully vaccinated, according to the country's health ministry. Local authorities have allowed soccer matches with full attendance since March.
Rio authorities said earlier this week those attending the parade would have to show proof of vaccination, but media reports showed that attendees had no trouble getting tickets or entering the Sambadrome without showing the required documents.
A seat in the bleachers cost about $50, and the most expensive seats can cost more than $1,260. Going out in one of the samba schools costs a lot for tourists, but it is often free for people who are involved with the parade all year round, like 66-year-old Juciara do Nascimento Santos. She was among the revelers starting this year's parade with the Imperatriz Leopoldinense samba school.
“We had to take care of ourselves during this time so we could be here today celebrating life,” said Santos, who has paraded with Imperatriz Leopoldinense since 1984. This time she was in the section of the baianas, often reserved for the oldest women of each samba school. Many of these samba schools reported they lost many of their baianas to the virus.
For those unwilling to shell out for the price of admission, there were street parties across Rio — despite City Hall denying authorization for them to take place, citing insufficient time to prepare. Some organizers couldn't care less, arguing that celebrating Carnival wasn't contingent on authorities' consent, and partiers hit the streets in force.

WASHINGTON — Gordon Casey, a 19-year-old from Germantown, Maryland, was identified by the Metropolitan Police Department on Saturday as the man who was shot and killed by U.S. Secret Service officers this past week at the residence of Peru’s ambassador to the United States.
Officers responding to the call for a burglary in progress encountered a man they said was armed with a metal stake in the rear yard.
District of Columbia Police Chief Robert Contee said officers had used a Taser to try to detain the man, but “those weapons appear to not have any effect on the person.”
Police said the officers “gave multiple commands to the suspect to drop the weapon.” When he didn’t, two officers fired their guns, striking and killing Casey. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators have not revealed any details about a potential motive. Earlier in the week, Contee said police were still trying to learn why the man was at the ambassador’s home and why he was smashing the windows.
Several windows and doors around the large property had been shattered, he said. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/police-id-maryland-man-shot-in-incident-at-peru-envoys-home/2022/04/23/409916e6-c322-11ec-b5df-1fba61a66c75_story.html | 2022-04-23T17:35:55Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/police-id-maryland-man-shot-in-incident-at-peru-envoys-home/2022/04/23/409916e6-c322-11ec-b5df-1fba61a66c75_story.html | true | 19 |

OPINION:
Last weekend I was out fishing with some mates when we saved a dolphin.
We found it tangled up in a long line and struggling to breathe. It's not easy dealing with a panicked dolphin, but we eventually managed to cut most of the line away and it swam off looking for its mates.
This was somewhat dangerous as freaked-out dolphins are tricky creatures at the best of times, but when you're both attached to the same piece of unbreakable line things can easily head south.
I share this story not just to try and persuade you that maybe I actually do have a heart, but because while some people might think we were stupid, according to Carlo Cipolla, an Italian Professor of Economic History who died in 2000, this was an example of being intelligent: an act which benefits the perpetrator as well as others. We were chuffed that we had saved the poor bugger, and for others there's one more dolphin to go around. Win, win.
Cipolla's theories are set out in his 1976 essay "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity" and are becoming increasingly popular as half the world struggles to understand what on earth is going on with the other half.
Cipolla splits humans into four groups based on who benefits from our acts:
Intelligent people
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Cipolla defines intelligent people as those who help others at the same time as helping themselves. For example, doing your job well helps those around you and also earns you a pay rise. It doesn't mean that they're well educated or particularly gifted, just that they act in a helpful way.
Bandits
Bandits act to benefit themselves at the expense of others. Put simply, criminals. There are also the incredibly selfish who won't do anything unless it benefits themselves. We all know one of them.
Helpless people
These are often the people that the Bandits prey on. They mean well but can end up as victims through their naivety.
Stupid people
These are people who do things that harm others without any express benefit for themselves. For example vandals and trolls and the deliberately unhelpful. People who vote for politicians because "they like the way they talk" even though their policies will actually work against them.
Cipolla sees the Stupid as the main danger to civilisation and derives the following laws:
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Law 1: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
This is a worry.
Law 2: The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
Cipolla believed that the proportion of stupid people is fixed regardless of wealth, sex, education, race, or any other factor. He also believes that stupidity is innate.
Law 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
I wonder if "anti-social" would be a better term, but they're Cipolla's theories so we'll go with his definition.
Law 4: Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
I can't help but feel he has somebody specific in mind here.
Law 5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
Cipolla sees the Stupid as even more dangerous than the Bandits, who at least operate with a degree of logic which the rest of us can understand. Stupid people, however, are loose cannons with no discernible reason for their actions which makes them hard to predict and counteract.
It's up to us
Cipolla believes the only way to deal with the Stupid is if everyone else does as much as they can to offset their influence:
"The only way a society can avoid being crushed by the burden of its idiots is if the non-stupid work even harder to offset the losses of their stupid brethren."
So come on everyone, roll your sleeves up. That sounds like a hell of a lot of dolphins we need to save. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/paul-catmur-the-laws-of-stupidity-what-group-do-you-fit-into/L3PZVXDLJSA5MJG56DYR3FLHDA/?c_id=3&objectid=12519272&ref=rss | 2022-04-23T17:57:05Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/paul-catmur-the-laws-of-stupidity-what-group-do-you-fit-into/L3PZVXDLJSA5MJG56DYR3FLHDA/?c_id=3&objectid=12519272&ref=rss | true | 2 |

Golden Gate Fields (US) 23rd Apr (R2 6f Claim)
Show HideSaturday 23 April, 9.50pm
Timeform pick out the best bets at Aqueduct, Golden Gate Fields and Gulfstream Park on Saturday.
"...sets the bar very high on his dirt form..."
Timeform on Kid d'Oro
#6 Battle Cry - Gulfstream Park, R4 (19:43)
Battle Cry is of major interest on barn debut and looks to have a leading chance. Paco Lopez takes the ride and he has a good record for this trainer. The selection's old rival Our Fantasy enters calculations on strike rate here alone and can fill the runner-up slot. Celestial Cheetah can again take third behind the pair.
#8 Kid d'Oro - Aqueduct, R5 (20:26)
Kid d'Oro has an excellent chance at the weights and sets the bar very high on his dirt form. It's eye-catching that his excellent trainer is willing to persevere with him on the turf. Uncle George is from a stable well versed at readying one after a break and looks the likeliest to finish second.
#1 Breaking The Code - Golden Gate Fields, R2 (21:50)
Breaking The Code must have a good chance on these terms. She's narrowly been beaten on her first two starts for this barn, and may benefit from a lead in this. Simply Perfect should find the return to this trip a good move and is also likely to be thereabouts. Jumping Jill Flash is another who demands consideration.
Bet £10 and Get a Free £2 Bet on Multiples Every Day!
Place £10 worth of Multiples or Bet Builders at odds of 2.0 or above over the course of a day, and, after the bets have settled, you'll get a free £2 bet to use on Multiples or Bet Builders. No opt-in required, T&Cs apply.

While singing Something to Talk About, she quipped ‘If they’re not talking about you, honey, you might as well be dead!’
This was accompanied by a montage of video clips of her greatest Housewives moments and media headlines from her marriages to divorces to her brush with the law.
Following the show, Singer took to Instagram to detail a silly moment she had with a group of fans, who 'were in an Uber and jumped out' to say hello.

Which wide-tooth comb is best?
Hair gets tangled easily, especially if you have thick or curly hair. To avoid breaking or damaging your strands, use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your knots and snarls.
These combs have thick, wide-set teeth and are made from a variety of materials. Wooden ones, such as Louise Maelys Wooden Wide-Tooth Comb, are anti-static and distribute your natural hair oils to enhance shine and health.
What to know before you buy a wide-tooth comb
Uses
Wide-tooth combs are used primarily for detangling hair. They work best on curly, thick or long hair (or a combination of all three). If you have curly hair, the wide-set teeth won’t disrupt your curl pattern. They can also be used to loosen tight curls.
Apply a detangling spray or conditioner to wet hair before using a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair. They will soften your strands and help the comb slip through the hair without snagging. Be sure your comb is waterproof before you take it into the shower.
Material
Wide-tooth combs are made from a variety of materials.
- Wooden combs offer a traditional look and are nontoxic. They distribute your natural hair oils to promote healthy, shiny hair. They are not recommended for use in the shower, however, and they can be pricey.
- Plastic combs are widely available and a fraction of the price of wooden combs. They’re waterproof and can be taken into the shower. Their durability can vary based on the comb’s quality, and some can snag on hair.
- Cellulose acetate combs are made from plant-based materials and are more eco-friendly than plastic combs. They can be taken into the shower, and are strong and flexible. They typically come in faux tortoiseshell designs and can be pricey.
- Metal combs aren’t as popular as wood, plastic or cellulose. They run smoothly through the hair, but their teeth can feel sharp to sensitive scalps.
- Rubber combs are made from natural rubber, a hard and durable material that’s nontoxic. Rubber teeth feel gentle on the scalp and can withstand a lot of pressure. These combs are expensive and not widely available.
Size and length
Wide-tooth combs vary in size and length, with larger combs typically better for longer hair while small ones are more portable. A pocket-sized comb can be as small as 3 inches long; large combs can exceed 9 inches in length. Be sure to factor in handle length when choosing a size, as only a portion of the comb will contain teeth if it has a handle.
What to look for in a quality wide-tooth comb
Handle vs. no handle
You may find more control using a handle or prefer the simplicity of a hand-held design. If picking a comb with a handle, be sure it’s comfortable to grip. Many combs offer ergonomic handles.
Look for a model with a hole or built-in hanging hook if you want to hang your comb in the shower.
Tooth width
Generally speaking, the wider the gaps between the teeth, the wider the teeth (and the lower the tooth count). It’s all about finding the ratio that works for your hair type. Some people also prefer longer teeth for a pick or rake-style comb, which works well for curly or coiled hair types.
Tooth sharpness
Another feature to look at when choosing a comb is how sharp the teeth are. Wide-tooth combs can have pointed, tapered or rounded teeth. Pointier teeth are great for targeting snarls and knots, but can be scratchy on the scalp. Tapered and rounded teeth feel more gentle on the scalp but may not be as effective on stubborn tangles.
Color
Plastic combs come in a wide range of colors. Cellulose acetate combs come in tortoiseshell colors and faux ivory for a classic appearance that’s also cruelty-free. Wooden combs come in their natural color. Metal combs typically come in metallic colors, such as silver or gold, as well as classic black. Rubber combs come in their natural color or in black.
How much you can expect to spend on a wide-tooth comb
Wide-tooth combs cost between $4-$25. Wooden combs start at $10. Select luxury brands make cellulose acetate combs that cost upward of $35.
Wide-tooth comb FAQ
Should I use a wide-tooth comb instead of a brush?
A. You can use both. Use a wide-tooth comb before you brush your hair to remove major knots and tangles. Then use a brush to smooth out your hair and remove any smaller snarls.
How do I detangle my hair in the shower with a wide-tooth comb?
A. First shampoo, then condition your hair as normal. While the conditioner is in, start combing at the ends of your hair. Slowly make your way up to the scalp. Starting at the ends instead of at the roots helps minimize damage.

Credit guru and entrepreneur Kenny “SmittyTheGoat” Smith took a different path than his peers in Chicago. After realizing his basketball career was limited, he pivoted by watching a friend go off the grid and come back as a successful financial literacy expert. It was at that moment he put his head in the books and began studying the field as well. Although he admits parts of the process can get “boring,” the reward is well worth it.
Recently, Smith visited with rolling out to drop a couple of his coveted gems.
You present a new image of financial literacy with how active you are on social media and the way you dress, wearing chains and designer clothing. What do you hope to provide for the next generation?
The reason I do that a … is that this is what I like. This is what I want to do. I want to get to the narrative that you can dress how you want to dress if you want. If you were to start your own businesses and beyond [being] a CEO and stuff like that, we don’t have to dress a certain way. I want to show them that we don’t have to wear a suit and tie.
… This financial literacy stuff, it’s like education and flex. So I’m teaching you all that it’s cool to have A1 credit. It’s cool to start your [own]business. We don’t have to be out here, either robbing, [selling] drugs or whatever you’re doing to make money — that’s going the wrong way.
What is the line you draw when giving out free information in an interview like this or on Instagram Live?
It’s not just a specific set point where you say cut off. To be honest, if I give away my good stuff, a good way to get information, it’s still hard to put it in a full circle.
Where can people find you?
I’m on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. On YouTube, Twitter and Instagram is SmittyTheGoat, but on my Instagram, you have to put @_smittythegoat_, and exactly like that because there are like 50 fake pages.
For prospective investors looking to use Airbnb as a source of income, what advice would you give?
Get your credit right first. Let’s also establish an LLC and let’s get a business credit card. They’re gonna give us a 0 percent interest credit card, so that’s the one we want to go for. Take the money off that business credit card, and then use that money to now go pay the rent, furnish it and also put [it] in your business’ name.

(NYSE: GATO): (a) pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement issued in connection with the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO" or "Offering") conducted on or about October 28, 2020; and/or (b) between October 28, 2020 and January 25, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important April 25, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Gatos Silver securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company.

In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the technical report for Gatos Silver's primary mine, the Cerro Los Gatos deposit, contained certain errors; (2) among other things, the mineral reserves had been overestimated by as much as 50%; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Gatos Silver's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

(NEW YORK) -- Growing concerns over cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the United States are prompting record investments from firms to protect critical industries. FBI Director Christopher Wray said last month that intelligence officials were "concerned" about the possibility of Russian cyberattacks against critical U.S. infrastructure in the wake of Russia's war with...

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)Xander Bogaerts had three hits, second baseman Trevor Story made three key defensive plays and the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Friday night.
Wander Franco, Tampa Bay’s 21-year-old shortstop, had the first multi-homer game of his career.
Michael Wacha (1-0) gave up two runs on three hits, including Franco’s two homers, in five innings to get his first win for Boston.
Matt Barnes retired Franco on a groundball to a shifted Story for his first save after Jake Diekman walked the bases loaded with two outs in the ninth. It was one of three potential hits that Story turned into outs, two of them in the ninth inning.
”He bailed us out of some spots. A great defensive performance by Story,” said Boston bench coach Will Venable, who is filling in as manager with Alex Cora sidelined by COVID-19.
”He took over in the ninth inning,” Bogaerts said of Story. ”I’m not even worried about him not hitting. He’s going to hit. He’s making these spectacular plays right now with his defense, his range, everything.”
Story, Bogaerts, Alex Verdugo and Kike Hernandez hit four of Corey Kluber’s first 14 pitches for singles, spotting the Red Sox a 2-0 lead.
Kluber (0-1) gave up four runs on 11 hits in five innings.
Franco’s homer made it 2-1 in the bottom of the first. Rafael Devers led off the third inning with his third homer of the season for Boston. Bogaerts followed with a double and scored on Hernandez’s single to make it 4-1.
Franco led off the fifth with another homer, his third of the season, before sprinting about 160 feet to catch a ball hit by Christian Valdez in the sixth.
”He’s Ozzie Smith with the glove, Barry Bonds with the bat,” Bogaerts said of Franco. ”I don’t know. He’s unbelievable. He’s ridiculous.”
Bogaerts’ second error of the game helped the Rays score another run in the seventh, an inning that ended with Franco flying out with a runner on second.
It was the second straight three-hit game and the fifth of the season for Bogaerts, who is hitting .517 (15 for 29) in his last seven games.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Red Sox: Cora tested positive on Thursday and is not with the team. … J.D. Martinez missed a second straight game after leaving Wednesday’s game in the third inning with left adductor tightness. Venable said he is ”progressing.”
Rays: C Francisco Mejia tested positive and was placed on the COVID-19 injured list. … RHP Chris Mazza was placed on the 10-day IL with back spasms. … C Rene Pinto and LHP Colin Poche were recalled from Triple-A Durham.
SIX PITCHES, SIX STRIKES
Poche, pitching in the majors for the first time since the 2019 AL Division Series, got three outs on six pitches – all strikes.
”You always give yourself a chance if you throw strikes,” he said. ”I was able to keep my emotions in check and keep my nerves down. But walking out there for the first time before the game, I was getting a little emotional, taking it all in and thinking about the journey over the last few years.”
UP NEXT
Red Sox RHP Garrett Whitlock (1-0, 0.93 ERA), who has made 50 relief appearances for Boston over the last two seasons and earned a save on Tuesday, will get his first major league start Saturday night. J.P. Feyereisen (0-0, 0.00) will start for the Rays as an opener.

State officials are cautioning about a new wave of bird flu that is being reported across New York.
The New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced that the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) virus has been detected in multiple wild bird species in several areas of the state.
While cases have been reported in birds statewide, there have been no known HPAI human infections documented in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the new cases in New York “do not present an immediate public concern.”
DEC cautioned that HPAI outbreaks in wild birds are cyclical and tied to their migration patterns when concentrated in higher numbers.
According to DEC, HPAI is caused by a virus carried by free-flying wild birds such as ducks, geese, gulls, and shorebirds.
The most recent HPAI strain is believed to have come from Europe, where it has been spreading since 2020 before coming to North America in 2021, according to DEC
The first case of the European HPAI strain was reported in Suffolk County on Long Island in a domestic flock. It has spread north since then.
As of Friday, April 22, HPAI has been found in captive chickens, pheasants, and ducks in these counties:
- Dutchess;
- Ulster;
- Monroe;
- Fulton.
HPAI was also detected in wild birds in these New York counties:
- Cayuga;
- Clinton;
- Montgomery;
- Monroe;
- Onondaga;
- Seneca;
- Suffolk;
- Nassau;
- Livingston;
- Wayne.
Wild birds include: snow geese, Canada geese, tundra swan, mute swan, sanderling, mallard duck, redhead duck, ring-necked duck, wood duck, hooded merganser, great blue heron, bald eagles, great horned owls, snowy owl, cooper's hawk, red-tailed hawk, fish crow, and turkey vulture.
“Generally, influenza viruses can infect some wildlife species without causing signs of disease, but new strains can emerge that cause illness with high mortality in both wild birds and domestic poultry,” DEC officials noted. “These strains are designated as highly pathogenic, or HPAI. HPAI outbreaks in wild birds are often cyclical and tied to migration when birds are concentrated in large numbers.
“As birds spread out on the landscape during the nesting season, disease transmission is expected to decrease."
While there is no immediate public health risk, the public has been advised to report dead birds to DEC regional tracking offices to monitor the spread of HPAI.

Video: Fed-Up Commuters Drag Climate Protesters Off Highway
Commuters showed little tolerance for climate change protesters who tried to block a bridge during the Thursday-morning commute in Vancouver.
Video shows that drivers who had stopped for the protesters blocking traffic dragged them to the side of the road so that they could be on their way.
“I’ve got to get to work,” one commuter grumbles in a video posted to Twitter.

“There are bigger issues here,” a protester replied amid a scene of drivers dragging protesters by shirts, safety vests or whatever they could grab onto to get them out of the way. Protesters tried returning to the middle of the bridge, prompting one man to say, “Bro, you want to die, bro?”
“We’re all going to die if we don’t do something,” one protester argued back before the police arrived to end the standoff.
The Ironworkers Memorial Bridge protest, which took place at about 7 a.m., resulted in the arrest of one woman, according to the Vancouver Sun. No injuries were reported, although there was one accident police called minor.
“Demonstrators who block vital pieces of infrastructure, like bridges and major intersections, put themselves in danger and create a safety risk for the rest of the public,” Vancouver Police Constable Tania Visintin said in a statement,
“We know these incidents frustrate the public, and we thank everyone for their patience while VPD responded to this protest,” she said, according to Global News.
The protest was orchestrated by Save Old Growth, which opposes logging in the British Columbia region of Canada.
Premier John Horgan said the group wants to anger people more than save trees.
“I’m profoundly disappointed that these small groups of people are so self-absorbed and think so highly of their opinions and their so-called rights that they feel it’s okay to intrude in the rights of other British Columbians,” he said. “I reject it categorically and I’m hopeful that there will be significant consequences for their actions.”
Since January, 84 people have been arrested in 10 separate protests.
“We’re done being afraid. We won’t stop until the government passes legislation to end all old-growth logging,” Julia Torgerson, a spokesperson for the group, said in a release.
“This is not a big demand, we’ve only got 2.7 percent of the productive old-growth left. Killing the last of these ancient trees is a death sentence for millions of Canadians due to ecological breakdown,” she said.
Protester Brent Eichler, who was on day 28 of a hunger strike, said the issue is about life and death.
“We are entering the darkest age of human history, and facing mass starvation as we approach a two degrees increase in global average temperatures. The B.C. government is aiding in the destruction of the country,” he said.

Dak Prescott opted out of an invite to play in February’s Pro Bowl, hoping to just relax after what had been over 15 straight months of rehab grind. A full offseason of not having to recover from anything, he hoped, would make a difference once the real work started again.
So far, so good.
The Cowboys are just a week into the voluntary workout portion of their offseason program, but the quarterback entering his seventh year says this is the healthiest he’s felt in an offseason in a long time.
“It’s exciting,” he said, per ESPN’s Todd Archer. “Throwing this morning and leaving that session, yeah, I mean, pumped up. Just the way I feel, the leg feels, the arm feels, the body feels. Yeah, I’m excited.”
Prescott had gotten used to rehabbing one thing or another. First it was the catastrophic ankle injury in October 2020, then the slow process of walking and running and getting back into football shape. He suffered a shoulder setback early in training camp, shutting him down for the entire preseason. He started the 2021 season strong, but then had to deal with a midseason calf strain that seemed to haunt him right through the Cowboys’ wild-card-round exit from the playoffs.
He even had cleanup surgery on his non-throwing shoulder within the past few months, but he claims “the shoulder’s great.” The 28 year-old admits it’s been a long progression just to get to a point where he doesn’t feel like he’s having to baby anything.
“A year ago, you’re excited because you’re back on your leg,” Prescott said Friday at a charity event. “You’re moving it for the first time. From one week to the next, you get to do two jumps to three jumps to jogging to sprinting, so you’re excited and you feel progress. But a year [later], I get on the field and I don’t even think about my leg. It goes from getting that leg better to that’s not even a thought in my head. There’s days maybe the cold front comes in that I might feel it a little bit more, but it’s not a thought in my head or something I’m worrying or rehabbing on.”
Prescott’s comments came at the Children’s Cancer Gala in Dallas. He’s taking over for Roger Staubach- at the Hall of Famer’s request- as the event’s honorary co-chair, alongside three-time Super Bowl champ Troy Aikman.
After 33 years, Roger Staubach is passing the torch to Dak Prescott as honorary co-chair of the Children’s Cancer Fund Gala with Troy Aikman. Prescott wants “to give the kids a night of hope in their life.” Aikman said the event is the most important one he does all year. pic.twitter.com/F55murW3xC

That should put into perspective where Prescott is expecting to stand in the pantheon of Cowboys signal-callers before it’s all said and done.
So it shouldn’t be a surprise that Prescott was among the current locker room leaders spearheading recent captains workouts, even before the official start of the voluntary offseason sessions.
“That encouraged guys,” Prescott said. “When they came around the building, they saw 15 to 20 guys around when we weren’t even voluntary. And when it’s voluntary, I’m sure all will be there, that they don’t want to miss. You don’t want to be the guy that’s not building the chemistry or building what we’re working on. I think it shows the character of the guys that we’ve got, and credit to the front office and the coaches for getting people that want to be here when it’s completely voluntary.”
It’s also a credit to the Cowboys’ on-the-field leader: skipping things like the Pro Bowl just to get a head-start his own work, forgoing maybe one last beach vacation to come in for captains workouts and voluntary sessions, all with an eye toward achieving the ultimate goal.
“It’s about improving on the person and player I was before the injury now and being the best player I can be for this organization.” | https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/2022/04/23/dak-prescott-pumped-up-healthy-2022-offseason/ | 2022-04-23T18:37:43Z | https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/2022/04/23/dak-prescott-pumped-up-healthy-2022-offseason/ | false | 1 |
Mansfield’s first-team coach Andy Garner was delighted to see forward Lucas Akins finally grab his first goal for the club in the crucial 2-0 home win over Crawley.
The promotion-chasing Stags desperately needed the win after back-to-back defeats and Akins netted the all-important second goal after 72 minutes, shortly after a second yellow card for James Tilley had left in-form Crawley with 10 men.
Garner said: “That win was massive and even better was the performance they put on. I thought we were excellent against a good side who have had results on their travels, so we had to be at our best.
“I think at times we played some fantastic football and scored two fantastic goals.
“I’m so relieved for Lucas that he’s got a goal as it has been playing on his mind for a long time now.
“We told him to relax, settle down and it would come and I’m so happy for him. It was a great header too.
“We have known him for a long time and he gives everything he’s got. We also know the other side of him when he hasn’t scored goals and it’s affected him.
“Hopefully this will help him massively and he will go on and score a few more.”
Mansfield led at the break through Jamie Murphy’s volley from 12 yards in the 26th minute, with Crawley goalkeeper Glenn Morris making a string of fine saves to keep the score down.
Jordan Tunnicliffe headed another Murphy effort off the line and Morris denied Rhys Oates one-on-one.
But, after the red card, the points were sealed as Akins guided a fine header inside the left-hand upright from six yards from a Stephen McLaughlin cross.
Crawley had assistant manager Lewis Young in charge after manager John Yews was suspended by the club over allegations of discriminatory language and behaviour towards his players.
“It’s been a long 24-hour period for the boys and staff,” said Young. “As crazy as it sounds after a 2-0 loss I have great pride in the group, just sticking together and going out there trying their best. That’s all we ask.
“It was disappointing to see the run come to an end as we’ve been really decent in recent games. Five wins out of six doesn’t just happen by chance.
“Even with 10 men at the end we still had the composure and quality at times to play and create chances. It just shows the character in the group.
“You have to give credit to Mansfield. I thought they were really good on the day. They were the much better team for long periods.
“They are going great guns and are right up there in that lottery of the play-offs and that’s where we want to strive to be.
“It just shows how far we’ve come as a club and as a group that we’ve come to Mansfield away and are disappointed not to get anything.”

ATLANTA (AP)Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle is guaranteed $4,625,000 under a one-year contract that avoided salary arbitration, a deal that could be worth up to $11.55 million for two seasons.
Wendle gets a $4.55 million salary this year under the contract agreed to late Thursday, and the deal include a $6.3 million mutual option for 2023 with a $75,000 buyout payable if the team declines the option.
The option price can escalate by $700,000 based on plate appearances this season: $100,000 for 250 and each additional 50 through 550.
Wendle had been scheduled for a hearing Tuesday – his 32nd birthday. He had asked for a raise from $2.25 million to $4.9 million and had been offered 4.35 million.
Eligible for free agency after the 2023 season, Wendle was traded to Miami by Tampa Bay on Nov. 30, the day before the lockout began.
He is hitting .314 with four RBIs in 35 at-bats this season after batting .265 with a career-best 11 homers along with 54 RBIs last year.
Twenty-one players remain scheduled for hearings, which run through June 24. Hearings usually take place in February but were delayed because of the lockout.

Fury and wife Paris, who met at the age of 14, have six children; Venezuela, 12, Prince John James, nine, Prince Tyson II, four, Valencia, three, and baby Athena who was born prematurely last August. And Venezuela has already left school after Paris insisted on keeping up the tradition.
"We finish school at primary age, which is the traditional traveller way," she said. "We've just brought the tradition into the 21st century. Venezuela wanted to leave school and all her friends were leaving. Her tutor is going to keep her up to date with all of her tests. She will also be having piano lessons."
Fury and Paris have different opinions on their children's education which first came to light during their documentary in 2020. Fury, who defends his heavyweight world title tonight against Dillian Whyte, would rather his kids stayed in school. "Me and Tyson have talked about the kids going to school," added Paris. "Tyson wants the boys to go into education but I don't; it's just not what we've ever done.
"I was brought up as a Traveller and I want my kids to be brought up as Travellers. They will probably leave school at 11 and they'll be educated at home from then. The boys will take a wife and make their family and the girls will take a husband and make their family. Until they take a husband or wife they won't be leaving the home and I wouldn't want them to."
Will Tyson Fury beat Dillian Whyte? Let us know in the comments section below
Fury said in response: "You say it's something we've never done but I'm a precedent setter, am I not? Now I've set these laws and precedents, you watch how many will follow. The parents of these kids, I call them dream killers. Just because something went wrong in their life you can't pawn it off on your kids."
The Furys have not ruled out having a seventh child but Paris has also suffered heartbreak in the past having lost two children to miscarriages, "Very sadly we lost two babies which was just devastating to both of us and my heart goes out to anyone who has suffered the same," she said last year. | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/other-sport/boxing/tyson-furys-six-children-wont-26778343 | 2022-04-23T18:53:51Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/other-sport/boxing/tyson-furys-six-children-wont-26778343 | false | 2 |
The lawyer for a B.C. First Nation challenging the province in a land rights trial says the government’s decision not to adjust the case based on its own new litigation directives “undermines the process of reconciliation.”
The province announced the development of “a new approach to litigation” on Thursday as part of its process to implement its legislation adopting the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. It included 20 directives for the Crown to prioritize resolution and negotiated settlement, while reducing the potential for legal action over Indigenous rights and title.
The Nuchatlaht First Nation is in a B.C. Supreme Court fight for recognition of jurisdiction over 230 square kilometres of Nootka Island off the west coast of Vancouver Island.
Jack Woodward, who represents the nation, said he pointed out the policy to the judge just before closing his legal arguments in the case.
“I told the court that I expected British Columbia to change the way it conducted this litigation, and in particular, to amend the pleadings to remove some of the more offensive portions.”
The Nuchatlaht’s lawsuit claims the B.C. and federal governments have denied their rights by approving logging and “effectively dispossessing” them of the land.
In a court transcript supplied by the Nuchatlaht’s legal team, Crown attorney Jeff Echols said Thursday the province knew about the directives before their release and does not intend to adjust its arguments for trial.
“We are planning on continuing with the evidence that we have,” Echols said.
“The directives are something that are to be considered on an ongoing basis and they will be in all aspects of what we do. They are taken very seriously by counsel, but they are policy directives for counsel, and they are not something for submission to the court or something for the court to give directions based on.”
Woodward said he and the Nuchatlaht Nation were surprised by the response.
“My clients are shocked at this hypocrisy,” he said. “It’s such a betrayal.”
Attorney General David Eby said in a statement that he will not be commenting on the matter as it is before the courts.
“These directives are an important step toward implementing the Declaration Act, and reassuring all British Columbians, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, that the provincial government won’t leave its commitment to reconciliation behind simply because we’re in court,” he said in the statement.
The B.C. government has denied that the Nuchatlaht hold Aboriginal title over the area and said in earlier arguments at the trial that it has met its obligations under agreements with the nation related to forest resources.
The province said in its release Thursday about litigation directives for ongoing legal action that began before it passed the Declaration Act that provincial counsel must review their pleadings, legal positions and litigation strategy to ensure they are consistent with the act.
Woodward said he has been advocating for a directive like this for about three years, ever since the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act was passed. The province’s action plan for the legislation was released last month and outlined 89 specific actions, including plans for the litigation directive.
“We found out (Thursday)that it’s meaningless and it’s empty. It’s vacuous,” he said. “It’s mere rhetoric, and it’s shameful for a government to raise expectations like this and then not follow through with anything on the ground.”
Woodward said the government’s decision not to amend their arguments in the current case does not shake his confidence.
“My concern about this is not that it affects whether we’re going to be able to win,” he said. “My concern about this is that it so deeply undermines the process of reconciliation for the province to behave this way when we’re in court trying to achieve justice.”

100 Mile Fire Rescue suspects an early morning structure fire at Parkview Apartments was set intentionally.
Fire chief Roger Hollander said his department responded to the fire at 3 a.m. on Saturday, April 23. When they arrived he said the crew saw smoke coming from the building and promptly evacuated its residents.
As they evacuated the building, firefighters discovered the fire in a small crawl space. Hollander said one of the residents, using a portable fire extinguisher, fought the fire but it had grown too large to be effective. Firefighters then took over and extinguished the blaze and ventilated the building.
“Although the fire is currently under investigation, it is believed to be intentionally set as multiple piles of material were found on fire,” Hollander said.
Residents have been allowed back into the building. In addition to fire rescue the RCMP, BC Ambulance, BC Hydro and FortisBC attended the incident.
Anyone with information on the fire can contact RCMP at 250-395-2456 or 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

Which Charlotte Tilbury lip liner is best?
Lip liners are versatile products that everyone should keep on hand. Lining your lips can lead to eye-catching multishade looks, help keep your lipstick and other lip products from smearing and can be used directly on the lips for a subtle look.
Charlotte Tilbury is among the better midrange brands. Its lip liner, the Lip Cheat Lip Liner, comes in 15 shades and contains no unhealthy ingredients, such as parabens. The company also doesn’t engage in animal testing or use animal-based ingredients for an entirely vegan product.
What to know before you buy a Charlotte Tilbury lip liner
Finish
Lip liners typically come in either matte or cream finishes, though most exist somewhere in the middle. Charlotte Tilbury lip liners tend to have matte or matte-leaning finishes.
- Matte finishes produce a flat look, as in they don’t reflect light. They tend to dry the lips out slightly unless they include some hydrating ingredients, which many of Charlotte Tilbury’s do. They also don’t smudge as easily and usually last for many hours.
- Cream finishes are full of hydrating ingredients and, as a by-product, greatly reflect light for a more attention-grabbing look. The downside is they are easy to smudge, and even if they don’t smudge, they likely won’t last longer than two hours at best.
Barrel
Charlotte Tilbury lip liners come packaged in pencil-like barrels that require manual sharpening with a special, makeup-only pencil sharpener. Other brands use retractable barrels, which twist up and down. Both have their pros and cons.
- Pencil barrels are harder to maintain, and there’s a high likelihood of you wasting product during the sharpening stages if you’re inexperienced or using a bad sharpener. However, you can also fine-tune the tip to be as narrow or wide as you want to achieve the look you desire.
- Retractable barrels are much easier for the inexperienced user, as there’s no need for sharpening and little chance of wasting product. However, you’re stuck with the same tip thickness, and with cheap liners, you risk the product falling out of the tube.
What to look for in a quality Charlotte Tilbury lip liner
Application length
Charlotte Tilbury lip liners, thanks to their matte and matte-leaning finishes, have long application lengths. Most last for 6 to 12 hours, depending on what activities you’re engaging in.
Color
Charlotte Tilbury lip liners come in 15 shades, and a majority of them are shades of red, pink and brown. They use the same color names among all their products, so it’s easy to pair like and similar colors depending on your intended look.
How much you can expect to spend on a Charlotte Tilbury lip liner
Charlotte Tilbury only has one lip liner that costs $10-$30, and the cost depends on the seller. It also offers kits that bundle its lip liner with other lip products for $30-$100, and again, the cost depends on the seller.
Charlotte Tilbury lip liner FAQ
When should I apply my Charlotte Tilbury lip liner?
A. There are two schools of thought, and both are valid. One says you should apply lip liner before lipstick and other lip products. This helps you keep your lipstick application between the lines. The other says to apply it after lipstick or other lip products. This lets you somewhat fix the first application by lightly adjusting it.
Should I exfoliate my lips before applying lip liner?
A. It isn’t necessary, but it does help improve a few aspects. The biggest is simply that your lips won’t have creases. There won’t be any valleys that can fill with product, so there won’t be enough product to smear around later in the day. In turn, this helps your application last a little longer than it would otherwise. It also improves the health and softness of your lips, regardless of whether you want to apply lip product after.

Economic And Market Review: Key Considerations For Equity Investors
Summary
- Leading economic data suggests that U.S. growth remains in the Boom phase, where growth is positive and accelerating.
- We believe a simpler, intuitive way to think about market valuation is to focus on the dynamics of valuation within the index itself, rather than the dynamic through history.
- The strategic decision to select stocks, sectors, factors, regions and asset classes that benefit from reflation or disinflation tends to be among the most consequential for performance over a five- to 10-year horizon.
By Raheel Siddiqui
Why we think the equity bull market can last at least until mid-2022.
After 18 months of strong equity market performance, and a year of outperformance by value stocks and sectors geared to reflationary forces, many investors are questioning whether valuations are now stretched, and the bull market is about to run out of steam.
By contrast, we think this bull market could have many more months to run. Leading economic indicators, investor positioning and market valuation dispersion all point to the possibility of further equity upside well into 2022 while the dynamics around the U.S. dollar suggest that equity factors, sectors and regions that are more geared to reflation could continue their relative outperformance for years to come.
Boom Phase in Equities Could Persist Through Mid-2022
Leading economic data suggests that U.S. growth remains in the Boom phase, where growth is positive and accelerating. Reported economic data in aggregate appears to confirm this outlook. The labor market remains solid: Jobs and wage growth are accelerating. Non-residential fixed investment and corporate capex growth are also accelerating.
We can also point to a number of strong supports for our current growth outlook: financial conditions are extremely accommodative by historical standards; the ratio of new orders to inventory is historically high; corporate pricing power is robust; households and corporations together hold a stock of spendable liquid assets some $3.5 trillion larger than it would have been under the pre-Covid growth trend; and the additional fiscal stimulus currently being negotiated in Washington.
The Boom phase, which typically lasts 12-24 months, is rarely without its list of investor concerns. But it also happens to be the phase where risk-taking in equities has tended to be most rewarded. Historically, the value style, small caps, lower profitability/higher economic leverage and high-volatility stocks and sectors tend to outperform growth, large caps, higher profitability/low economic leverage and low volatility.
In this cycle, these value investment categories have been outperforming growth since October of 2020 and we expect them to continue to outperform through mid-2022. We, therefore, favor a broad procyclical investment stance through mid-2022.

Due to a variety of factors, actual events or market behavior may differ significantly from any views expressed or any historical results. Investing entails risks, including possible loss of principal. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Equity Positioning Is Still Relatively Benign
A comprehensive measure of the allocation to equities (versus cash and bonds) by all non-bank investors globally remains below the 47.7% post-Lehman peak seen in 2018. This positioning is likely to be supportive of the market. For illustration, if all else remained equal, getting to the 47.7% allocation would imply an S&P 500 Index level of approximately 5,000 - a rise of some 12% from its level at mid-September.
Moreover, we believe this is a conservative estimate, given the current accommodative monetary and fiscal policy stance relative to the prior cycle. We think the peak allocation to equities in this cycle could be several percentage points higher than in 2018. While we do not offer a timeframe in which this allocation would be reached, our reasonable estimate is that the S&P 500 is likely to be 20-30% higher than it is today at the next peak in equity allocation.

Equity Valuation Dispersion Still Shows Signs of Stress
How attractive are equity market valuations?
The answer to that question often centers around an index’s current valuation relative to its history, using one or more of the usual metrics: the Forward Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio, the Cyclically-Adjusted Price-to-Earnings ratio (CAPE), the Earnings Yield or Equity Risk Premium (ERP), and so on. The problem we see with this approach is that a genuine apples-to-apples comparison of current and historical valuations needs adjustment according to macro variables such as treasury yields, economic growth rates, inflation, dividend yields, payout ratios, margins, volatility, and more - and modelling those variables back into the past introduces unavoidable complexity and subjectivity.
We believe a simpler, intuitive way to think about market valuation is to focus on the dynamics of valuation within the index itself, rather than the dynamic through history. The valuation dispersion measure is the difference between the composite valuations of the cheapest quintile of stocks versus the median stock in the index, expressed as a z-score (or number of standard deviations, derived from the full history of the index). Essentially, it is a measure of how much value there is in the index’s cheapest stocks and, by extension, how much potential opportunity there is for generating excess return from value-based stock selection. As the chart of valuation dispersion in the largest 1,500 U.S. stocks over the past century suggests, however, it is also a measure of the amount of economic stress that is being priced into the index: peaks have tended to coincide with peak economic stress during recessions.
Unsurprisingly, valuation dispersion in the current cycle peaked in March of 2020 and hit the 99.5th percentile of monthly results going back to 1926. Despite their extraordinary run over the past 18 months, equities are still pricing in a fair amount of economic stress: the valuation dispersion z-score currently stands at 0.76 standard deviations above historical average, which may sound low relative to the z-score above four in March last year, but is still in the 81st percentile of monthly results going back to 1926.
We also expect the value style to continue to outperform growth until valuation dispersion drops well below zero, which would imply a near exhaustion of the opportunity to pick stocks based on valuation. At the beginning of the last growth cycle, in April 2014, the Valuation Dispersion z-score had fallen to -0.8, or the 16th percentile in the full history.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
We Think the Dollar Has Topped Out - and That Matters for Allocations
The strategic decision to select stocks, sectors, factors, regions and asset classes that benefit from reflation or disinflation tends to be among the most consequential for performance over a five- to 10-year horizon.
We think an awareness of whether we are in a bull or bear cycle for the U.S. dollar can act as a useful guidepost for making this decision. A bear cycle implies higher U.S. inflation, and a bull cycle implies lower inflation, relative to the rest of the developed world. As such, U.S. dollar bear cycles tend to favor reflationary assets, regions, sectors and factors while bull cycles tend to favor allocations geared more to disinflation.
U.S. dollar cycles have tended to exhibit a cadence of seven to 10 years, and we think the dollar completed a nine-year bull run in March 2020 and has entered a multi-year bear market. Our view is supported by, among other things, GDP growth projections from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which forecasts a decline in the U.S.’s proportional contribution to world GDP starting in 2022 - another dynamic that has historically been associated with a weaker dollar.
Over the past 40 years or so, a weakening dollar and relatively stronger U.S. inflation have historically coincided with the outperformance of European over U.S. stocks and emerging markets over the developed markets. Among the U.S. sectors, traditionally reflationary sectors such as Materials, Energy, Industrials and Financials have tended to outperform sectors such as Consumer Staples, Healthcare and Communication Services. The pattern typically holds outside of equity assets, as well: a weakening dollar tends to coincide with outperformance of gold over U.S. treasuries and industrial metals such as copper over gold.
The Dollar Makes A Difference

Investment Views
Value Over Growth
Valuation dispersion in U.S. stocks remains relatively high, despite a year of outperformance by value stocks.
Small Caps Over Large Caps
Leading indicators suggest that the U.S. economy is still in a Boom phase, which has tended to favor small caps.
Low Quality Over High Quality
Leading indicators suggest that the U.S. economy is still in a Boom phase, which has tended to favor more cyclical, more leveraged and lower-quality stocks.
Ex-U.S. Developed Markets and Emerging Markets Over U.S.
We believe we may have started a multi-year bear cycle for the U.S. dollar, and a weaker dollar has tended to favor reflationary assets in general and ex-U.S. equity markets in particular.

Roger Goodell and the NFL plan to overtake the NBA on Christmas Day
For basketball fans, Christmas day represents a special time of the year. One where families can gather around, exchange gifts, eat well and enjoy a full slate of NBA basketball.
Now, NFL fans will have the opportunity to embrace their fandom while celebrating their annual winter holiday tradition, as well.
Three NFL games will be broadcasted on December 25th, 2022. Two of those games will take place in the afternoon (FOX and CBS), as well as one in the evening, Sunday Night Football (NBC).

The NBA and its partners were surely not too pleased to read this news release. The National Basketball Association has had a stranglehold on Christmas day sports viewing for the past fourteen years, where each year, they have scheduled five consecutive games for their fans to enjoy.
Not only that, the NBA and its sponsors have taken advantage of this opportunity by marketing their sport through its direct association with the holiday. A strategy the NFL would be wise to emulate.

This doesn't mean it's time for fans of the NBA and the NFL to develop some sort of rivalry with one another. After all, many of us are fans of both leagues.
It's important to remember that the NBA and NFL represent two of the most profitable professional sports leagues and businesses on the planet. So instead of pointing fingers, or acting like either one of these organizations has some sort of claim to Christmas day, let's instead choose to embrace, as sports fans.

A Garda investigation into the disclosure of a confidential document by Leo Varadkar has been completed and a file of evidence has been sent to prosecutors.
The Tánaiste is under investigation for passing a copy of the official document to a friend of his while he was Taoiseach.
Varadkar has admitted that in April 2019 he sent a copy of a doctors’ pay deal between the State and the Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) to Dr Maitiu O Tuathail.
Dr O Tuathail was head of the rival organisation, the National Association of General Practitioners (NAGP), at the time.
Varadkar has apologised for disclosing the document but has denied breaking any laws.
He has said he does not think his actions will result in criminal charges.
Varadkar is due to become Taoiseach again in December 2022, replacing Micheál Martin as part of the coalition deal that saw Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Green Party form a government in 2020.
A Garda spokesman said today (Saturday April 23): “An Garda Síochána can confirm that an investigation file on this matter has been submitted to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution for its consideration.
“As this matter is now for consideration by the Office of the DPP, An Garda Síochána will not be commenting any further.”

North yet to pick 2023 consensus candidate -Ex-gov Lamido
A former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, on Saturday rejected the purported endorsement of the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and his Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) consensus presidential aspirants by northern elders.
The former Vice-Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, told journalists on Friday that elders from the region had picked the duo out of the four aspirants pushing the consensus arrangement.
However, in a statement he personally signed, the ex-governor insisted that the region has not picked any consensus candidate.
He described the endorsement of Saraki and Mohammed as the personal opinion of the elders behind the statement.

Lamido said: “The attention of key stakeholders of the PDP in the Northern States has been drawn to reports in the media that some Northern Elders have shortlisted two of our prominent and deserving aspirants as consensus PDP Presidential Candidates.
“Having widely consulted party leaders across the 19 Northern States and FCT, it is hereby stated to our teeming Party members and the general public that what is reported in the Media is only the personal opinion of those who issued the statement and not the position of the PDP members in the North!
“Discussions are ongoing with ALL the aspirants in our Party with a view to having a National Consensus if possible or a least working towards having a smooth acrimony free National Convention.”

NEW YORK, April 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM) between April 4, 2017 and October 20, 2021, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important June 6, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased IBM securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the IBM class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5104 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 6, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Strategic Imperatives Revenue and growth, CAMSS (the sectors of "Cloud," "Analytics," "Mobile," "Security," and "Social") and CAMSS Components' revenue and growth, and the Company's Segments' revenue and growth were artificially inflated as a result of the wrongful reclassification of revenues from non-strategic to strategic to make those revenues eligible for treatment as Strategic Imperatives Revenue; (2) IBM's present success and positive future growth prospects concerning its Strategic Imperative business strategy were being fueled by the wrongful reclassification of revenues from non-strategic to strategic to make those revenues eligible for treatment as Strategic Imperative Revenue; (3) as a result of the foregoing, defendants misled the market by portraying IBM's Strategic Imperative's financial performance and future prospects more favorable than they actually were as a result of the fraudulent scheme and/or the wrongful reclassification of revenues from non-strategic to strategic to make those revenues eligible for treatment as Strategic Imperatives; and (4) Total Revenue and IBM's Segments' revenue and growth were artificially inflated as a result of the fraudulent scheme and/or the wrongful reclassification of revenues from non-strategic to strategic and/or the wrongful recognition of revenue. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the IBM class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5104 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Hollywood star Hugh Jackman has thrown his heavyweight support behind the NRL’s bid to open the 2023 season with a premiership game in the United States, declaring: “They would love the great game of rugby league here.”
As first revealed by The Sun-Herald in October, Manly and South Sydney are keen to participate in what would be the first competition game staged outside Australia or New Zealand. The concept, dubbed “Round Zero”, has been in the offing for several years but was shelved due to COVID-19.
However, with international travel resuming, the parties are keen to revive the American dream in a bid to crack the world’s biggest sporting market. The clubs are in a unique promotional position given Sea Eagles fan Jackman and Rabbitohs counterpart Russell Crowe are keen to help hype the event.
To that end, the Wolverine star expressed his support for the project between performances of the Broadway hit The Music Man in New York during the week.
“Bring it on!” Jackman told The Sun-Herald. “Would love for it to happen. They would love the great game of rugby league here in the US I’m sure.”
Jackman’s work commitments may prevent him from attending the game itself, but his endorsement will help raise awareness of the sport as it attempts to make inroads into the United States.
“We know that people who watch and follow rugby league love it, and we want even more people to get access to it,” NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo said.
“When we can use some of our well-known celebrities that follow the game to bring more people into the game, it’s always a good thing.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity, but we need to work out how to make it work and make sure it’s something we get a long-term benefit from.
“There’s a lot of work to be done, but we’re onto it because we see it as an exciting opportunity to grow the game. Between now and the draw coming out, we will be putting a lot of resources into what can be achieved.”
The game, which would be played a week before the rest of the competition starts to allow for travel and recovery time, would likely be staged at the 22,000-seat Banc of California Stadium. The time difference would allow for a Saturday night fixture to be beamed back to Australia on Sunday afternoon.
The legalisation of sports gambling in several American states will help provide the funding to underwrite the venture and potentially provide a new long-term revenue stream for the code.
“Would love for it to happen.”
Hugh Jackman on the prospect of an NRL game being taken to the United States.
“This is about the growth of the game from a fan perspective,” Abdo said. “We know it’s a wonderful sport, so the real question for us is how we get more people interested in following it and playing it.
“This will be linked to that strategy. There’s a lot of work to do and we’re working on a number of different elements to this.
“Anything we do, we want to think of the long-term benefit, the long-term legacy, the long-term strategy. You don’t want to do a one-off PR stunt, you want to think about what the overall objective and opportunity is. This will form part of a broader growth strategy. It’s an investment to start with and it’s a long-term payback.”
Rugby league has had a chequered history in America. The last foray was the ill-fated Denver Test match between New Zealand and England, in which the promoter suffered a financial loss, resulting in the players initially being out of pocket.
In 1987, a State of Origin match was played before a crowd of 12,349 at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Long Beach, California. One of the people tasked with promoting that game, former league player and administrator Bernie Gurr, said the latest venture presented a unique opportunity.
“It’s exciting they’re talking about bringing a game here, California is the right place,” Gurr said from California. “It’s a good idea, but it’s only as good as the promotion around it, and it can’t be a one-off, it needs to be part of a broader strategy.
“If they are planning to link that to the gambling tie, then that’s an interesting strategy because there are all of these established sports that will be trying to take advantage of the loosening up of legal gambling avenues.”

Ayr United know a victory over old boss Ian McCall will secure their Championship status on Friday night.
It follows a point in Dumfries this afternoon in a result which consigned hosts Queen of the South to relegation.
The Honest Men needed a late leveller to salvage a draw thanks to Kerr McInroy's deflected strike which cancelled out Euan East's opener for Queens on 80 minutes.
And after a frenetic game where both sides passed up good chances to win it, boss Lee Bullen insists he's happy Ayr have their destiny in their own hands.
He said: "One of these days we're going to catch someone for six or seven goals with the chances we're creating.
"And I've said to the players in there that you've got a really big problem as a football club when you're not creating opportunities.
"But that's two weeks in a row where we should have scored four or five goals.

"Fair play to Queens, they gave it a right go as they had to but a point was the least we deserved out of that game given the chances we missed.
"I thought it was going to be another one of those days but luckily enough we showed that resilience again which has come to the fore in these last five or six games.
"The fans were absolutely amazing again and came down in huge numbers for us.
"They could easily have turned when we went behind but they stuck right with us.
"I think they can genuinely see that the performances are there with this group. It's all too easy to get negative when the results aren't coming, but you can see how we're playing.
"The fans are being so positive and we'll need them again for sure next week."

Tigers’ Cabrera gets 3,000th hit; 33rd player to reach mark
DETROIT (AP) — Tigers star Miguel Cabrera delivered the 3,000th hit of his decorated career Saturday, becoming the 33rd major leaguer to reach the mark and the first player from Venezuela to accomplish the feat.
Still an imposing presence at 39, Cabrera made history by grounding an opposite-field single to right through the shift in the first inning of Detroit’s game against Colorado.
Cabrera immediately raised his right arm as he headed toward first base. The crowd at mostly full Comerica Park gave him a rousing ovation and chanted “Miggy! Miggy!” while fireworks were shot out of the scoreboard.
The milestone hit came off Antonio Senzatela, a fellow Venezuelan, in the first game of a day-night doubleheader. Rockies shortstop José Iglesias, who played with Cabrera on the Tigers, came over to give his former teammate a big hug.
By then, all the Tigers were streaming from the dugout to greet the newest member of baseball’s elite 3,000-hit club. Moments later, Cabrera went behind home plate to embrace his mother, wife, son and daughter on the field.
Cabrera soon returned to first base, but didn’t stay there long. He scored on a three-run homer by 22-year-old rookie Spencer Torkelson, who has taken over as the Tigers’ regular first baseman with Cabrera in the role of designated hitter.
When the inning ended, the scoreboard flashed “Congratulations Miggy” and Cabrera emerged from the dugout to wave to fans who had been rewarded with the highlight they came to see.
A two-time AL MVP, a Triple Crown winner and an 11-time All-Star with four batting titles, Miggy’s place among the Major League Baseball greats already was assured long before this afternoon in Detroit.
As a 20-year-old rookie, Cabrera helped the Florida Marlins win the 2003 World Series championship. All these years later, stamping his name onto the 3,000-hit list had a nice ring, too.
And it’ll certainly look good on a plaque in Cooperstown someday.
Cabrera became just the seventh player with 500 home runs and 3,000 hits. He joined an exclusive club with Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Eddie Murray, Rafael Palmeiro, Albert Pujols and Alex Rodriguez.
Last August in Toronto, Cabrera connected for his 500th homer. He’s now at 502 in his 20th season.
Cabrera is the seventh Latino player to make the 3,000 chart — the hit tied him on the overall list with the late Roberto Clemente.
Pujols was the previous player to reach 3,000 hits, doing it in 2018. He was at 3,308 going into Saturday and, at 42 with St. Louis, has said this is his final season.
The next hitter to reach 3,000? Hard to say.
Robinson Canó trailed Cabrera on the active list with 2,630 going into Saturday and is 39 years old. Yadier Molina, also 39, followed at 2,116.
Among younger players, Jose Altuve (32) has 1,783 and Freddie Freeman (32) had 1,722. Mike Trout (30) was at 1,428.
Cabrera got three hits Wednesday to get to 2,999, then struck out in his final at-bat of the night. He went 0 for 3 Thursday and was intentionally walked his final time up against the Yankees, drawing loud boos and chants from Detroit fans.
The milestone remained on deck when Friday night’s game against Colorado was rained out.
Cabrera was the third player to get his 3,000th hit while with Detroit, joining Ty Cobb and Al Kaline.
While age has diminished his power to clear any fence and smash opposite-field shots to right-center, Cabrera has enjoyed a monster career at the plate.
Cabrera became the first major leaguer in 45 years to win the Triple Crown by leading the league in batting average, home runs and RBIs in 2012. That year, he won his first of two straight MVP awards and helped Detroit reach the World Series, during a stretch that included four straight division championships.
“He is one of the great right-handed hitters ever,” Yankees manager and former Marlins teammate Aaron Boone said this week.
“And 3,000 hits, 500 homers, that’s obviously rarefied air. He’s done it, you know, in bigger ballparks his entire career, between Florida and here also. You know, he’s an all-timer. He’s in that, probably inner circle, of even the Hall of Fame. It’s been a special career,” Boone said.
Cabrera boosted his total most often against James Shields, getting 27 hits against the former Tampa Bay, Chicago White Sox, Kansas City and San Diego pitcher.
Detroit acquired Cabrera in a trade with the Marlins in 2007, with Dontrelle Willis also going to the Tigers in a deal for Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin. Cabrera had 842 hits at the time.
The swap came a year after the Tigers lost the World Series to St. Louis, in the hope that Cabrera would help them win the championship for the first time since 1984.
The Tigers, though, never won it all with their superstar. Detroit was swept by San Francisco in the 2012 World Series and spent a decade in a rebuilding mode that bottomed out with 310 losses between 2017-19.
After Cabrera was an All-Star for the 11th time in 2016, his production declined and Detroit’s rate of success did as well.
The Tigers made bold moves in the offseason in a quest to be relevant with Cabrera serving as a draw to bring fans to the ballpark and to hit about one ball per game into the outfield grass with savvy swings after crushing baseballs with incredible force earlier in his career.
A top prospect in the minors, Cabrera made his big league debut in June 2003. He announced his presence to the whole baseball world that October.
Brushed back by a couple of heaters from Yankee ace Roger Clemens, Cabrera came back to launch a home run off the Rocket in helping the Marlins win the World Series.
Cabrera is almost twice as old now and is still a kid at heart, recently taking the grounds crew’s three-wheel bicycle for a ride during batting practice.
And, one of the game’s all-time greats can still get a base hit against some of the world’s best pitchers.

GUANGZHOU, China, April 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The 131st Canton Fair, which takes place online from 15 to 24 April, attracts over 25,000 exhibitors from home and abroad. Given the virtual form of the event, making better use of the cloud platform to boost cooperation and identify business opportunities comes as an important matter for exhibitors and buyers.
Connecting with buyers anytime, anywhere
Right after the opening ceremony of the Canton Fair, Wang Jin, representative of Orans Sanitary Ware, immediately started a live promotion broadcast. In one hour, he showed viewers around their display hall while introducing their newest items and then took them to the workshop to watch the manufacturing process. When he learned a Bangladeshi buyer was interested in making a purchase, he asked one of their product engineers to design and make a drawing on the spot. As the entire process was livestreamed in real time, the buyer could engage in product design simultaneously. After some negotiations, the company made its first intended international order worth 300,000 US dollars with the buyer.
Boosting Business with Distinctive, Well-designed Showrooms
Walking around the showroom of Guangzhou Textiles Holdings Limited, apart from the spreading moss and cloud-shaped lights that echoed the virtual form of this Canton Fair, the reporter was most attracted to an eye-catching giant landscape painting made of cloth. This was the company's fifth participation in the online Canton Fair, told Huang Yutong, an engineer at the company's R&D Center. Drawn upon the experience of the previous four online sessions, the company turned its R&D center into an exhibition hall this year, creating a natural-looking outdoor space using textile materials. The giant landscape painting, which was actually a large curtain, was made of fragments of fabric acquired from daily textile production. Other employees added that this year's showroom featured environment-friendly design, which impressed foreign buyers.
Maggie Pu, Deputy Director General of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Canton Fair, said that holding an online event was an innovation answering to the call of digital economy, as well as a pragmatic choice in response to Covid-19. The Canton Fair will keep upgrading and optimizing its online platform with improved functions to help exhibitors expand their business and conduct win-win cooperation via online events.

In this week’s episode of The Baggage Reclaim Sessions podcast, I talk about those annoying and hurtful comments that our parents make about us and our life choices that leave us believing that we are a disappointment. I delve into some of the ways our parents’ often unrealistic expectations manifest themselves and some of the reasons for this communication pattern. I also share tips on how to evolve our relationship with our parents’ expectations so that we don’t have to feel bad about ourselves or our relationship with them.

5 key topics in this episode
- Part of transitioning from childhood to adulthood is disappointing our parents due to establishing our own identity. Living our lives happily and authentically might not look the way our parents envisioned.
- Barbed, judgmental and inappropriate comments about our relationship status, career, sexuality, how we run our lives, etc., are hurtful. They can create the impression that we are wounding our parents with our life choices.
- Some parents not only feel entitled to their expectations but to also make demands. When we’re unable (or don’t want) to comply, they then judge our life choices. e.g. They demand that we give a large amount of money to a relative. We say that we can’t or don’t want to, and then it becomes about how we’re a ‘failure’ and ‘disappointment’ for not having this amount of savings on hand. The comments roll in about our choice of career or lack of a spouse or how we’re bringing shame on the family. At no point do they acknowledge that their expectations are unrealistic and inappropriate.
- There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do things for our parents but we need to be aware of our ‘why’. If we do things, not because we want to but because we feel obliged, it breeds resentment. We also need to acknowledge where we behave as if we’re in permanent debt to our family. Sure, we can be grateful for what a parent did, but we don’t owe them our life choices.
- When we remember that we’re grown-ups and accept our parents for who they are, we can develop a sense of humour about their comments. Or, we can address their comments by asking what they meant or letting them know how they came across.

DETROIT (AP) — Evgeni Malkin scored two goals, and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Detroit Red Wings 7-2 on Saturday.
Kris Letang had a goal and two assists for the playoff-bound Penguins, who won for the third time in four games. Sidney Crosby, Rickard Rakell and Chad Ruhwedel each finished with a goal and an assist.
Detroit dropped its third straight game. Jakub Vrana and Michael Rasmussen scored for the Red Wings, and Thomas Greiss made 23 saves.
Detroit trailed 2-0 after Crosby scored his 30th goal of the season with 4:42 left in the first. But Vrana responded with a power-play goal, and Rasmussen tied it with his 13th just 17 seconds into the second.
That's when Pittsburgh took over.
Rakell, who was acquired in a February trade with Anaheim, put the Penguins ahead to stay with his 20th goal 7:44 into the second. Rakell has four goals and nine assists in 16 games with his new team.
Letang then made it 4-2 at 11:37, and Malkin added a power-play goal with 3:37 left in the second.
The Penguins kept up their play in the third. Danton Heinen scored his 18th goal at 5:38, and Malkin closed it out with his 19th in the final minute.

Vrana registered a power-play goal in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Penguins.
Vrana was left all alone for a one-timer from the slot, converting his 13th goal through 23 games. The Czech winger's been shooting with pinpoint accuracy, as 21.6 percent of his shots have brushed twine. A shoulder injury prevented Vrana from playing until March 8, though he's looked rather spry as the 2021-22 campaign comes to a close.

You’ve probably seen “AF” on your social media feed at least once. Here’s what this useful internet modifier means and how to use it to spice up your messages.
As F***
AF means “as fuck.” On the internet, it’s an intensifier that emphasizes the meaning of a preceding adjective or adverb. For example, if you want to tell your friend that you’re very angry, you’d say, “I’m mad AF.” You can find this acronym on all corners of the web, from social media posts on websites like Twitter and Reddit to direct messages between friends.
Internet users write the acronym in both the uppercase “AF” and the lowercase “af.” You should note that these two tend to vary in intensity, with “AF” appearing more intense while “af” is more tempered. However, these variations still depend on the context, so read other people’s messages carefully before coming to conclusions. AF can also be written as “ASF,” but this variety is uncommon.
It’s synonymous with other intensifiers, such as “very” or “incredibly.” There are also similar slang phrases, like “as hell” and “as anything.” Unlike other slang terms, you typically don’t combine AF with other internet acronyms. Most acronyms already convey intense feelings, such as NFW or “no f***ing way” and ROFL or “rolling on the floor laughing.”
There are several other definitions for this acronym you should be aware of. In medicine, AF can refer to “atrial fibrillation,” an irregular heartbeat more commonly known as “AFib” or “arrhythmia.” AF may also refer to the “air force” in some countries.
The History of AF
Compared to other web acronyms that we’ve covered, AF is a more recent invention. The earliest definition for AF on the internet slang repository Urban Dictionary dates back to 2011 and reads, “the acronym stands for as fuck.”
Unlike shortened slang terms that originated in the internet chatroom days, AF came from the social media boom of the early 2010s. The phrase “as f***” was not widespread yet, and its shortened version would come to the internet even later. Nowadays, it’s one of the most common slang acronyms on the internet.
You’ll find this acronym on popular Tweets, song lyrics, and movies. Many young people also say it aloud, either by spelling out the letters “AF” or saying it as one syllable, “af.” In the summer, you might hear someone say, “it’s hot af out today.”
Intense AF
You can use AF to make nearly any adjective or adverb more intense. A common feature of AF is that it displays strong feelings from the person typing it.
People can use the acronym to display extremely negative emotions towards something. For example, if someone is deeply frustrated with their job, they might say “I’m tired AF” to describe their exhaustion. They might also say, “my boss is annoying AF” if they have unpleasant feelings towards their supervisor.
On the other hand, AF can convey positive feelings towards something. For example, if you’re excited about a trip you’re going on with your partner, you might tell them that “I’m excited af.” When you’re in an especially festive mood, you might text your friend, “I’m happy af!”
You can also use AF to describe inanimate objects, situations, or verb modifiers. For example, if someone is running significantly faster than expected, you’d say, “they’re running fast af!” Likewise, if you’re browsing an online store and are shocked by the prices, you might tweet, “this is expensive AF!”
One of the most common words used with AF is “crazy.” You’ll see “crazy af” used to describe various situations and things, some of which might not seem that crazy at all. This phrase is occasionally used sarcastically, such as in “wow, this geometry homework is crazy af,” so try to read between the lines if you see this phrase.
How to Use AF
Using AF in your internet posts is relatively straightforward. Simply add it to the end of an adjective or adverb that you want to intensify. You can use both lowercase and uppercase, but the lowercase version has become more common in recent years. Note that this term is very informal, so avoid using it in business correspondence.
Here are a few examples of AF in action:
- “That entrance test was hard AF.”
- “I’m worried af about my interview tomorrow!’
- “I can’t believe it! That’s crazy AF!”
- “I saw this creepy horror movie yesterday. The monsters were gross af!”

Prayagraj murders: Shivpal meets victims’ kin
PRAYAGRAJ: Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) national president Shivpal Yadav reached the Sangam city on Saturday evening after getting information about the brutal murder of five people of the same family in Khevrajpur village under Tharwai police station area.
After a brief halt at the circuit house at around 4pm, Shivpal Yadav directly reached the post-mortem house and met the victim’s family.
He took full details of the incident from the relatives of the deceased and expressed deep grief over it. He said that such incidents were very painful. Shivpal said that this case should be worked out at the earliest.
“In this regard, I will meet chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday and will demand that arrangements should be made to enable the victim’s family to stand on their feet again. Children of the victims should be educated and government jobs should be arranged for eligible next of kin. Along with this, security arrangements should be made for the son of the murdered cattle dealer and others. I will submit a memorandum to the CM in this regard,” he said.
Shivpal Yadav said that the people who committed this heinous act would like to destroy the evidence and therefore, the safety of the victim’s family should be ensured.
He said that the criminal incidents in Prayagraj were a matter of great concern. Countless incidents had been reported in the recent past in areas like Nawabganj and Phaphamau etc. All these cases should be worked out and the culprits should be given strict punishment, he said.
Shivpal Yadav also said that if there was anything called law and order in the state, then such incidents would not have happened. There should be a fair investigation into the incident. “In the Khevrajpur village incident, the victim’s family is demanding that the incident be investigated by the STF. The government should ensure this,” he maintained.
On being asked about the speculations of his joining BJP, Shivpal Yadav evaded an answer and said that this would be discussed again sometime.
Later in the evening, Shivpal Yadav also reached the spot of the incident in Khevrajpur village and consoled family members. He reiterated the demand that the police work out the case at the earliest. He said that the criminals committing such heinous crimes should get harshest of punishments as per law. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/lucknow-news/prayagraj-murders-shivpal-meets-victims-kin-101650740437113-amp.html | 2022-04-23T20:17:22Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/lucknow-news/prayagraj-murders-shivpal-meets-victims-kin-101650740437113-amp.html | false | 1 |
Observations From the Blue-White Game
STATE COLLEGE | Penn State fans might be forgiven for having flashbacks at the way Saturday's Blue-White Game began. With a goal-line offense drill.
Did last year's Illinois game flash before your eyes? You likely weren't alone. It was an entertaining way to start the 2022 Blue-White Game, Penn State's first spring scrimmage in front of a full stadium since 2019.
Penn State announced a crowd of 62,000 for the game, with likely that many outside tailgating on a lovely State College day. But inside Beaver Stadium there was football. So let's discuss it.
Quick overreaction: Freshman running back Nicholas Singleton took the first carry Saturday, albeit during the situational goal-line drill that didn't count within the scrimmage. So that meant very little. Still, Singleton carved a quick place for himself this spring and will factor into the offense quickly next season.
Speaking of freshmen running backs: Kaytron Allen showed some power and a lively step during a live scrimmage period with the first-team offense. He broke one run up the middle that would have raised the building last season.
Though everyone wanted to see the freshmen quarterbacks, returner Christian Veilleux should have grabbed the most attention. He looked poised and accurate during a 7-on-7 series and popped notably during a scripted 3rd-and-7 play in a scrimmage period. Veilleux rifled a first-down pass to transfer receiver Mitchell Tinsley, who demonstrated some shiftiness to convert.
Penn State is appreciably better regarding quarterback depth this year, particularly considering Veilleux's strong spring.
Play of the game: Receiver Harrison Wallace III 7-on-7 catch from Veilleux.
About those freshmen quraterbacks: Really difficult to gauge from 7-on-7, but Beau Pribula appeared to have a slight edge on Drew Allar. Pribula threw a nice pass to receiver Mason Stahl, a converted quarterback, and seemed more comfortable with his throws. Allar's first throws were behind his intended receivers (one intercepted), and he later threw a pick to defensive back Dominic DeLuca. Both got the ball during the final scrimmage period and looked lively. Pribula in particular has some scrambling chops. Wouldn't read too much into any of that, though.

Sean Clifford got a lot more work than expected, running the offense during several scrimmage periods. He threw a touchdown pass to Tinsley and generally looked like a sixth-year senior.
Safety Zakee Wheatley had an MVP-type spring, leading the team in takeaways and generally confounding the offense. He did that Saturday, breaking up a really nice Veilleux throw during a 7-on-7 drill and nearly intercepting a Pribula pass in the end zone to seal a 17-13 victory for the defense.
A converted corner, Wheatley has established himself as a standout at safety.
"The guy has a tremendous ability to find the football," assistant head coach Terry Smith said, "and those guys tend to play for a long time because they can change the game.
A host of former players made their way back, including Micah Parsons, Odafe Oweh, Mike Gesicki, Pat Freiermuth and more. At one point, LaVar Arrington conducted , Mika stadium interview with Yetur Gross-Matos and Jahan Dotson, during which he predicted that Dotson would be the NFL's offensive player of the year next season.

NEW ORLEANS — A man has died in a single car crash after fleeing from a traffic stop early Saturday morning.
State Police say 51-year-old Frederick Eric Walter, of Bridge City, sped away from a routine traffic stop in a 2016 Honda Accord, initiating a chase around 1 a.m. Saturday.
During the chase, police say, Walter continued west on US 90 at a high rate of speed. As he approached the area of Circle West Drive, Walter lost control of the Accord and veered off the right side of the roadway before flipping several times.
Walter wasn't restrained, and was ejected from the car and suffered serious injuries. He had a passenger, who was restrained and suffered minor injuries.
It is believed that Walter was impaired at the time of the crash, and toxicology reports are pending.
The investigation into this crash is still ongoing. | https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/local/bridge-city-man-dies-in-fatal-crash-fleeing-police/289-05ae928d-4199-4a15-b42e-38e21f600d5b | 2022-04-23T20:44:25Z | https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/local/bridge-city-man-dies-in-fatal-crash-fleeing-police/289-05ae928d-4199-4a15-b42e-38e21f600d5b | true | null |
An Orange County Sheriff’s deputy helped pull a baby out of a burning third-floor apartment building early Saturday morning.
Body camera footage released by the Sheriff’s Office shows Deputy William Puzynski climbing outside balconies with the child and mother standing outside the third floor apartment as smoke billows out of the building
“How old is your baby?” Puzynski asks. “She’s 1? Hold on, hold on. I’m coming.”
He then climbs up to a second floor balcony where the mother hands the baby down to Puzynski, who then gives the girl down to deputies below.
Puzynski told Orlando Sentinel news partner Spectrum News 13 his instincts kicked into gear when he heard a child screaming.
“It’s hard to explain. I just knew I had to save the baby,” Puzynski said. “I don’t think I was thinking. I just had to figure out a way.”
According to Orange County Fire Rescue, crews were called around 4 a.m. to the Isles at East Millenia off San Antonio Avenue near Americana Boulevard. Heavy fire and smoke was showing from the roof as firefighters arrived.
“When we got here, there was fire rolling out of the roof, people hanging from the balconies and screaming, and all of our crews did a great job. They threw ladders onto the buildings and got everybody out safely,” Orange County Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Steve Sherrill told News 13.
There was heavy fire damage to 12 apartments with 12 other also impacted, OCFR tweeted. Three people were injured including two that were taken to the hospital. Eight people had to be rescued. There were no serious injuries but one family told News 13 they lost their pets.
The State Fire Marshal will investigate the cause of the fire.

Saving lives off the clock: Nurse saves baby from choking at restaurant
ROCHESTER Minn. (WCCO) - A nurse turned into an unlikely hero off the clock at a Minnesota restaurant.
Nurse Brad Burt was having lunch earlier this month when he was alerted to an infant who was choking.
“We had just got done finishing paying up and about to leave when we heard someone calling for a nurse or a doctor,” Burt said.
And Burt said he sprang into action to perform the Heimlich maneuver.
“They were looking around for someone to step up. Thankfully, I was there to be able to do that. Otherwise, I don’t know if anyone else would’ve had the skills,” Burt said.
Burt is currently working with children at the Mayo Clinic and said this is a reminder of the importance of people learning first aid or becoming CPR certified.
“The area here is very lucky to have a lot of health care professionals, but choking and needing CPR can happen anywhere. So, it’s very important to be learning these skills,” Burt said.

F1 great Emerson Fittipaldi talked to the team at VegasInsider about Ferrari's season so far, especially about whether Charles LeClerc is the Number 1 driver in the team's eyes. Here's what Fittipaldi had to say:
- I don't think Ferrari will choose a number 1 driver - whoever is leading, will be number 1
"I don't think Ferrari will choose who is number 1."
"I think Ferrari, automatically, who'll be leading the championship, the next three-four Grands Prix, will have more support from the team."
"But so far, there is no number 1, number 2 driver right now. My opinion, looking from the outside, they have the same equipment, the same effort."
"This will be decided later in the season, not yet."
"But both can win the World Championship. It could be a great challenge between (Charles) LeClerc and Carlos Sainz. It can happen, through the rest of the Championship."
- Carlos Sainz has had issues but he'll be back strong in Imola
"LeClerc has a great potential to be World Champion but Carlos Sainz can challenge him."
"Carlos is a racer. He had a problem in the last race but he'll be back strong and I think the Ferraris, the two drivers, have the highest potential to be on the podium, for sure. No doubt about that."
- Ferrari have my respect, for their turnaround from last year to now
"I have a lot of respect for what Ferrari has done from last year to this year."
"They focused on this year's car and it's showing in the results now. Last year was a frustrating year for Ferrari. This year is the opposite."
"They are the team to win the championship. That's my opinion, for sure."
- Ferrari is the complete package this season
"To me, Ferrari has the best package of the year."
"They look reliable, they look fast in different conditions, in different tracks. They got around the new rules better than anybody else, in my opinion."
"Very powerful engine, good mechanical grip, good downforce, good aerodynamic grip."

It's Earth Day! To celebrate, NPR's Picture Show takes a look at one photographer's experience as a tree planter.
At 17 years old, Luc Forsyth decided that he wanted to study literature because he loved to read, but he quickly found out that the two weren't interchangeable. In his sophomore year, he was considering a serious change — he wanted to find something that would challenge him.
His roommate offered up a suggestion: "Why don't you go into tree planting?"
The question changed his life.
Forsyth now works as a cinematographer for documentaries but previously, he planted trees for five seasons in provinces across Canada. In total, he's spent more than two years of cumulative time living in a tent.
Now, having established a career in documentary filmmaking, he's returned to his former life to share just what tree-planting is with the rest of the world.
Forestry happens to be one of Canada's largest exports and there is a whole industry built around the Canadian law that requires trees to be planted.
"It is an environmental job in some senses, but it's also an industrial job," Forsyth says. "In Canada, it's the law that these trees have to be planted. The environmental aspect of it comes into play because you're essentially building a tree farm. Once you reach a critical mass of these new plants, then you don't have to cut down old-growth forests anymore. The logging companies would actually prefer to cut down one of these planted sites because the trees are spaced out in such a way that it's easy for them to go in and harvest these things."
"The idea is meeting the future demand for wood without cutting down old-growth forest. "
When he decided to go into tree planting, Forsyth was young and seeking an experience that would fuel his longing for adventure, but it wasn't exactly all that he thought it would be.
"I grew up camping and [thought] stuff like this, this would be no problem — I'm outdoorsy — and I showed up ... This is, by so much, the hardest thing I've ever done," he says. "I was not prepared for it at all, actually, to the point where, in my first season, I tried to break my own fingers so I could leave and not have to go through the public shame of quitting. But my body wouldn't allow it."
"But then I just, after five minutes, was like, 'Well, I guess I'll go back to planting these trees.' And then I did it for five years."
The job entails back-breaking manual labor. Tree planters are responsible for providing their own gear and paying for their own food. They're often in remote locations where there is little to no cell phone service. Depending on the company, they're out working anywhere between 8 and 12 hours each day.
So why do people do it?
"Well, you can make a lot of money," Forsyth says. "It's piecework, [so] you [are paid] by the tree. When I was doing it, I started at seven and a half cents a tree and when I went back [to visit] last year, I think some of them are getting more, like, 15 cents a tree."
"It depends on which part of the country you're in and it's calculated based on the difficulty of the land, how much driving is involved — that is kind of like an algorithm that they use to figure it out. My best day ever [was] 8,100 trees in a day, which is not normal, but I'd say you probably want to aim for at least 2,500, would be a low figure that I would have. If you're not working that hard, you make a lot less — but it's good money. Once you're a pretty experienced tree planter, you might only have to work three, four months of the year and then you can just travel, backpack and do whatever."
On top of that, there's a social aspect that plays a big part in helping tree-planters find community during what can be a very isolating job.
"I think tree-planting puts you into contact with all sorts of people that you may not ever meet any other way," Forsyth says. "It's all people who are drawn to this idea of an experience and adventure."
He's described this niche community as a village of outcasts and weirdos. They've come from all over to make a life for themselves and to find somewhere they can belong.
"You don't sign up because you're looking for an easy way to make a quick buck. If you decide to do it, you're usually looking for something more and you think the experience could be valuable to you," Forsyth says.
"You're in this little community. You might not even like everybody there, but you're all going through this really hard experience together. Because you're sharing those hardships, you can get through it."
Forsyth walked away from the work realizing that he could go through a lot more than he ever thought possible. He allowed himself to be vulnerable to testing his limits in conditions that were harsh. He learned who he was during that time of his life and says he carries that knowledge into everything he's gone on to do since.
"I hope it inspires people to try unconventional challenges and to try things that might look outside their comfort zone," Forsyth says. "It is the most powerful experience I've ever had and has made the most significant impact on my life and my future of anything I've ever done. I mean both financially — it enabled me to start traveling and being a documentary photographer — physically and emotionally, [it] prepared me for the challenges [I'll] face."

Russian Ambassador Asks Trudeau To Influence US To Prevent Tragedy With WMD
Fahad Shabbir (@FahadShabbir) Published April 24, 2022 | 12:45 AM
Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov told Sputnik on Saturday that he had sent personal notes to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Foreign Minister Melanie Joly asking the government of Canada to influence Washington to prevent a tragedy that may be caused by the weapons of mass destruction (WMD)
WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 23rd April, 2022) Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov told Sputnik on Saturday that he had sent personal notes to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Foreign Minister Melanie Joly asking the government of Canada to influence Washington to prevent a tragedy that may be caused by the weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
"I have sent personal messages to both Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs so that they influence the United States administration and prevent this tragedy," Stepanov said.
Earlier on Saturday, the chief of Russia's Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Protection Troops revealed US plans to stage provocations to accuse Moscow of using chemical, biological, or even tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine to discredit its ongoing military operation in the country.
The Russian military's information about suspected US plans to accuse Russian forces of using WMDs in Ukraine are a sign that Washington has moved on to Plan B after the failure of its attempts to sanction Russia into submission, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological defense of the Russian Armed Forces also noted that the leadership of Western countries made provocative statements on the possibility of Russia using weapons of mass destruction on a regular basis starting from March.
According to Kirillov, the most probable scenario is a western provocation at chemical and biological facilities in Kharkiv and Kiev, and possibly at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
Speaking of possible provocations, Kirillov noted that the US State Department may apply the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons' attribution mechanism to fabricate evidence and assign blame, as was the case in Syria.
As for provocations with the use of biological weapons, Kirillov said that the mechanism for investigating the cases would be activated under the UN secretary general's authority.
According to Kirillov, on March 9, Russian military discovered three drones in the Kherson region equipped with 30-liter containers and equipment for spraying agents, which indicates Kiev's readiness to use biological weapons.
Kirillov added that one of the provocation scenarios implied the "covert use" of WMD at Azovstal steel plant in the city of Mariupol, but the order not to storm the plant disrupted these plans.
