Giorgio Chiellini could end his journey at Juventus after 17 years. According to scene insider Fabrizio Romano, the Italian soccer dinosaur is considering a move to Major League Soccer in North America, which he likes.
Regardless of which club draws from the US, Chiellini will have to pay a fee as his contract expires in 2023. With the exception of the veteran, he agrees to leave the old lady on a free transfer.
Chiellini’s services to the Italian record champions are exceptional. The European champion was crowned nine times with Juventus and won the Cup five times. However, he was denied the club’s international success in his 556 appearances.
“I’m having fun now. We’ll see what happens soon. I’m happy and calm, I still have to understand and evaluate a lot of things. In the meantime, I’m thinking about games, and I’m having fun,” Chiellini said.
“Award-winning music trailblazer. Gamer. Lifelong alcohol enthusiast. Thinker.

Explosion at illegal oil refinery in Nigeria kills over 50
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — More than 50 people have been killed and many wounded in southeast Nigeria in an explosion that rocked an illegal oil refinery, state officials and the police said Saturday.
The death toll may be more than 100, according to a report in the Lagos-based Punch newspaper. The fire is reported to have spread to nearby properties.
The fire broke out on Friday night and quickly spread to two fuel storage areas located at the illegal crude oil refinery causing the complex to be “engulfed by fire which spread rapidly” within the area, said Declan Emelumba, Imo State Commissioner for Information.
The immediate cause of the explosion and the extent of the deaths, injuries and damage are being investigated, said Emelumba.
“A lot of people died. The people who died are all illegal operators,” said Michael Abattam, spokesman of the Imo State Police Command. The Imo state government is also looking for the owner of the refinery where the explosion occurred and have declared him a wanted individual, an official said.
Illegal refineries are common in Nigeria, where shady business operators often avoid regulations and taxes by setting up refineries in remote areas, out of sight of authorities.
The practice is so widespread that is it affecting Nigeria’s crude oil production, in the oil-rich Niger Delta region. Nigeria is Africa’s largest producer of crude oil but it has very few refineries and as a result most gasoline and other fuels are imported.

Do ‘Alone’ Contestants Get Paid Anything? History Reality Show Info
By Dan ClarendonApr. 23 2022, Published 12:02 p.m. ET
For years now, History viewers have wondered if Alone contestants get paid anything for their time on the show. After all, these brave souls have to survive the wilderness for weeks on end, with little more than their wits to get them through.
“Survivalists are dropped off in undisclosed, remote locations and equipped with just ten survival tools, and enough camera gear to self-document their experiences,” History explains. “The survivalist who endures the longest, facing total isolation, punishing weather, and deadly predators, will win the $500,000 grand prize. No camera crews. No gimmicks. Alone is the ultimate test of human will.”
So those who don’t win the $500,000 have to get something for their efforts, right?
‘Alone’ contestants get a weekly stipend, one participant said.
Sam Larson, who came in second place in Season 1 before returning to win Season 5, revealed in a now-deleted Reddit comment that Alive contestants do indeed get a weekly stipend.
“We’re compensated for the time we spend working on the production, as well as any pre- and post-show work,” he wrote, according to an archived version of the Reddit thread. “The pay isn’t amazing, but it’s better than a lot of reality shows. I was always satisfied with my compensation.”
In another Reddit thread, one fan remembered contestants saying that the stipend is “$1,000–$2,000 per week,” while another fan said that they believed Alone contestants get more than contestants of reality shows since the survivalists on Alone have to do their own camera work.
A third fan wrote, “There’s no way that a union would allow camera operators to work for free. Since that’s what these contestants are as well, I can’t see how they don’t get paid as camera operators.”
A new batch of contestants will face severe winter conditions — and polar bears — in Season 9.
In a press release hyping up Season 9, which premieres on May 26, History says that for the first time, Alone contestants will be setting up camp on the northeast shores of Labrador, Canada, “a location known for being the hunting ground of the predatory polar bear.”
“Season 9 of Alone sets survivalists in a location with one of the harshest weather conditions yet,” the cable channel adds. “Enduring wet, snowy, merciless conditions, survivalists’ building ingenuity, mental willpower, and overall wilderness skills are put to the test as they must build their own shelters, forage their own food, and overcome numerous obstacles and dangerous predators in hopes of being the last person standing.”
History has also revealed the Season 9 cast. Fighting for that $500,000 prize are Jacques K. Turcotte, Teimojin Nicholas Tan, Adam Riley, Juan Pablo Quiñonez, Igor Andre Yvan Antoine Limansky, Jessica “Jessie” Krebs, Karie Lee Knoke, Benjamin James Hill, Tom Garstang, and Tim Burns.
Plus, two new digital spinoffs — under the working titles The Ride Back and Shelter from the Storm — will bring viewers closer to the Alone experience. The Ride Back will give fans “an extended look at the raw emotions each survivalist experienced during their journeys before deciding to tap out, from intimate camera conversations to unfiltered moments right before leaving the isolation, to heartfelt interviews and footage of their journey to home base where it all began.
Shelter from the Storm, meanwhile, offers “an enhanced look into contestant’s shelters, including the pros, cons, dos, and don’ts that ultimately spell success, or disaster, for the hopeful survivalists.”
Alone Season 9 premieres on Thursday, May 26, at 9 p.m. ET. | https://www.distractify.com/p/do-alone-contestants-get-paid-anything | 2022-04-23T21:28:25Z | https://www.distractify.com/p/do-alone-contestants-get-paid-anything | false | 1 |

Man charged with hiding corpse nearly 40 years after killing, authorities say
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WLUK) - A Wisconsin man has been charged with hiding a corpse in a murder case in which the victim’s remains weren’t found for nearly four decades.
This week, investigators said 82-year-old John C. Andrews was officially charged with hiding a corpse.
Andrews was convicted of murdering Starkie Swenson nearly 30 years ago, but initially, his body was not located.
Calumet County District Attorney Nathan Haberman said Swenson’s remains were found in September 2021. At that time, forensic anthropologist Dr. Jordan Karsten concluded the body was placed there either at the time of death or shortly after – dating back to 1983.
“My understanding of the law is that the statute of limitations on this class of felony is six years, so from 1983 to 2022 is far more than that. So, there’s a very real, in my opinion, statute of limitations problem,” defense attorney Jonas Bendereck said.
However, the District Attorney’s office made it clear the charge wasn’t for moving a corpse.
“There’s not an allegation that’s in the criminal complaint about him moving the body. That’s simply not something that we have evidence about, nor that we are charging him with. The charges in the case are hiding a corpse, and part of the definition of hiding is keeping the location of the corpse unknown,” Haberman said.
The charge stems from an interaction Andrews allegedly had with investigators in June 2021.
According to the criminal complaint, he was asked to help locate Swenson and refused, stating that he’d never seen or spoken to Swenson.
Swenson’s remains were finally discovered last year, which is why the hiding of a corpse is said to have happened in that timeframe.
“Law enforcement continued to investigate what happened and continued to investigate where the remains of Starkie Swenson were and, in doing so, they asked Mr. Andrews for some assistance, because he was the only one who would know, according to them,” Haberman said.
Authorities said the statute of limitations issue remains in question as arguments continue.

DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera needed only one at-bat on Saturday to deliver his long-awaited 3,000th career hit, quickly reaching the mark as the Detroit Tigers routed the Colorado Rockies 13-0 in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.
Cabrera became the 33rd player in major league history and first Venezuelan-born player to achieve the feat when he grounded a first-inning single into right field. The hit came against fellow Venezuelan Antonio Senzatela and set off rousing cheers and chants at Comerica Park.
Cabrera added a bases-loaded, two-run single in the sixth, then was pulled for a pinch-runner and drew another huge ovation as he trotted off with 3,001 hits.
The 39-year-old 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.
He's the seventh Latino player reach the 3,000 mark. Pujols was the previous player to reach the mark, doing it in 2018.
Cabrera is the third player to get his 3,000th hit in a Tigers uniform, joining Ty Cobb and Al Kaline.
After getting his 2,999th career hit on Wednesday, he went 0 for 3 on Thursday. The Rockies-Tigers game scheduled for Friday night was rained out, putting history on hold for another day.
Cabrera fouled off the first pitch he saw and took a ball from Antonio Senzatela before his milestone swing.
He raised his right arm while heading to first base as right fielder Randal Grichuk retrieved the ball. The Comerica Park crowd of 37,566 roared and Rockies shortstop José Iglesias, who played with Cabrera on the Tigers, raced over to give his former teammate a big hug.
His current teammates then came streaming from the dugout to congratulate him before he went behind home plate to embrace his mother, wife, son and daughter on the field.
Cabrera scored three batters later on rookie Spencer Torkelson's three-run homer as Detroit jumped to a 4-0 lead. Pinch-runner Eric Haase replaced Cabrera after his two-run single in the sixth.
Tigers starter Tarik Skubal (1-1) allowed five hits and struck out six in six innings. The two players who batted in front of Cabrera, Robbie Grossman and Austin Meadows, combined for five hits, five runs scored and three RBIs. Harold Castro added four hits and scored two runs.
Senzatela (1-1) gave up five runs on 10 hits in five innings.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Detroit SS Javier Báez (right thumb soreness) took batting practice Saturday and could be activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. “We're kind of aiming for tomorrow if today goes well,” manager A.J. Hinch said.
ROSTER MOVES
The Tigers placed OF Victor Reyes (left quad strain) on the 10-day IL and recalled OF Derek Hill from Triple-A Toledo. ... Tigers OF Daz Cameron will be recalled from Toledo and serve as the 29th man in the doubleheader prior to the second game. He'll start in right field. RHP Julian Fernandez will be the Rockies' 29th man in Game 2 after a recall from the Albuquerque Isotopes.
UP NEXT
Rockies: LHP Austin Gomber (0-1, 7.00 ERA) will start Game 2 of the doubleheader. Gomber gave up five runs (four earned) in 4 1/3 innings against the Chicago Cubs in his last outing on Sunday.
Tigers: RHP Beau Brieske (0-0, 0.00 ERA) will make his major-league debut in the nightcap. The 24-year-old right-hander has pitched two games for Triple-A Toledo this season, allowing five runs over 10 innings.

No. 1 ranked Oklahoma softball completed a sweep of Iowa State softball Saturday afternoon behind a five-inning, one-hit performance from pitcher Jordy Bahl.
Iowa State’s losing streak was extended to five games after the 9-0 Oklahoma win.
Here are the major takeaways from Iowa State's tenth conference loss.
Almost perfect
“This may be the best college softball team ever assembled,” Iowa State head coach Jamie Pinkerton said of Oklahoma before the weekend series began.
Pinkerton stated this year’s Oklahoma team has taken the national powerhouse to an even higher level. Oklahoma was won three of the last five national championships.
On Saturday afternoon, Oklahoma was almost perfect, especially its starting pitcher.
Bahl, a USA Softball Player of the Year finalist, received the start in the circle for the nation’s best team.
Cyclone third basemen Kaylee Pond spoiled Bahl’s effort at a perfect game in the matchup’s fifth and final inning by drawing a walk. Pond was the first base runner for the Cyclones in the game.
Bahl has pitched the most innings on the stellar Oklahoma pitching staff. And in the series finale on Saturday, the freshman Sooner pitcher was one out away from perfection. Bahl pitched 4.2 innings, allowing no hits, no walks and no errors.
Kasey Simpson followed Pond’s walk with a single to centerfield, but Bahl retired the next batter to finish a complete game shutout of the Cyclones.
An offensive slowdown
In its recent five game losing streak, the Iowa State lineup has experienced a steep offensive halt.
In two games against Texas Tech and three against Oklahoma, the Iowa State offense has generated 11 hits in 91 plate appearances for a .121 batting average.
During the stretch, the Cyclones have faced a gauntlet of Big 12 pitching and have lost four times by mercy rule.
Back home to regroup
Iowa State next faces in-state rival Iowa in a lone game from the Cyclone Sports Complex in Ames.
The Hawkeyes had lost eight consecutive games themselves at the conclusion of Iowa State’s series with Oklahoma.
The Cyclones will receive a much need chance to regroup in the non-conference rivalry. The Cyclones missed their last chance to regroup mid-week when a matchup with St. Thomas on Wednesday was post-ponded due to weather.
The cancellation was a missed opportunity to get a bad taste out of the team’s mouth after a disappointing series against Texas Tech, Pinkerton said.
Any regrouping during this mid-week game will need to happen fast. Iowa and Iowa State will play Tuesday evening. Iowa State will have just two days of rest after completing the series in Norman, Oklahoma.
The Cyclones won’t stay at the Cyclone Sports Complex for long. Pinkerton and company will return to the road for a series with Baylor beginning April 29. | https://www.iowastatedaily.com/sports/takeaways-oklahoma-sweeps-iowa-state-softball-ncaa-2022/article_041b77ca-c33d-11ec-b47f-53c74eb770a0.html | 2022-04-23T21:55:28Z | https://www.iowastatedaily.com/sports/takeaways-oklahoma-sweeps-iowa-state-softball-ncaa-2022/article_041b77ca-c33d-11ec-b47f-53c74eb770a0.html | false | 1 |
Tommy Fury floored Daniel Bocianski and outpointed him on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium.
The younger brother of Tyson then issued a strong call-out to Jake Paul, who he was scheduled to face in December before pulling out with an injury.
The bout began with a scrappy opening round in which Fury’s jab gave him the advantage.
At the start of round two, the fight burst into life.
Fury landed a hard right hand which staggered Bocianski, though the Pole held to survive and regained his composure.
In the third, Bocianski was stunned again as he failed to make an impact on the Brit and was countered effectively.
Fury put together some eye-catching combinations in round four as swelling emerged under his opponent’s left eye.
And Bocianski was overwhelmed in the fifth as he was floored with a big right hand.
Fury landed a peach of a straight right and would have been surprised to see his foe rise to his feet and re-emerge for the sixth and final round.
Bocianski fought to survive for the final three minutes and heard the final bell.
Fury was declared the winner by 60-54 referee points decision and quickly turned his attention to Jake Paul.
“I’ve got one thing to say,” Fury began in his post-fight interview.
At this point the BT audio cut out to limit the profanity.
It resumed with: “This should have been done a long time ago in December.
“If you want it, I’m here and I’m ready for you.
“I’ll cut you and chop you to bits, just like I did there.
“Get the contract signed you bum, let’s get it done once and for all.
“That lad in there would kill Jake Paul on the spot, that lads a true professional. He’d slap Jake Paul.
“Jake Paul – I will end your career, you’re a bum and you’re no good.
“Let’s get this fight done.”

About ION
According to CryptoCompare, “ION is a blockchain-based decentralized cryptocurrency that rewards network participation via static proof of stake. ION rewards “connectivity age” instead of “coin age,” thus eliminating abuse from exchanges and users that do not actively contribute to the network. By having a static reward system, the rewards for participation are proportional to the work every active node contributes. This discourages centralization and promotes network health. In addition to static rewards, ION implements a masternode network to incentivize large holders, and perform advanced functions such as near-instant and private transactions. Ionomy focuses on mobile gaming applications. ION provides a platform that facilitates the development and monetization of new mobile games and rewards gamers financially.

ION Coin Trading
It is usually not presently possible to purchase alternative cryptocurrencies such as ION directly using U.S. dollars. Investors seeking to trade ION should first purchase Ethereum or Bitcoin using an exchange that deals in U.S. dollars such as GDAX, Changelly or Coinbase. Investors can then use their newly-acquired Ethereum or Bitcoin to purchase ION using one of the aforementioned exchanges.

Scores of passengers aboard the Ruby Princess cruise ship became sick with COVID-19 on a San Francisco to Hawaii voyage that ended last week and followed a trip to Panama in which dozens of passengers also were stricken with the virus on the same ship.
The San Francisco Department of Public Health said 143 passengers aboard the Ruby Princess’ San Francisco to Hawaii round trip that ended April 11 tested positive for the virus, nearly twice as many as the 73 reported sick with COVID-19 after the ship’s March 27 return to San Francisco from Panama.
“It was quite clear that there were a large percentage of passengers that were sick, but unless you self-reported, you were free to keep going and infect other passengers,” said Ted Vomacka of Antioch, who said he was among the passengers who tested positive on the ship and was forced to quarantine in separate quarters from from his wife, Larisa, who eventually tested positive after they returned home.
Vomacka and other passengers said they weren’t told about the outbreak as it was spreading on board, and there were no screening tests for the virus to identify other potentially infected passengers without symptoms.
“It was obvious from observing all the coughing and hacking that some form of infection was going around,” he said.
Cruise ships, where some of the pandemic’s first outbreaks were reported in Japan and the Bay Area in early 2020, continue to be stricken as ever more contagious variants of the virus circulate.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there are 100 cruise ships participating in its COVID-19 cruise ship program, and its online tracker indicates 52 of them currently are under investigation for outbreaks. Only 21 of them reported no cases.
Both of the recent Ruby Princess outbreaks triggered investigations by the CDC under its program for controlling COVID-19 aboard cruise ships.
The San Francisco Department of Public Health said the crew and passengers of the Ruby Princess’ Panama Canal and Hawaii trips were 100% vaccinated, and that “the vast majority of individuals who tested positive for COVID experienced mild or no symptoms.”
Only one person on the Hawaii trip was hospitalized, the department said, “which speaks to the incredible efficacy of vaccination.”
In March 2020, early outbreaks had prompted the CDC to issue a no-sail order that ended last June with new health and safety requirements. But the CDC in December, at the height of the surge in cases driven by the omicron variant, advised travelers to avoid cruise ships even if vaccinated.
The CDC currently advises that even the vaccinated can become infected with the virus aboard cruise ships and that travelers make sure they are “up to date” on their vaccines, with one or two booster shots if eligible.
Princess Cruises said in a statement in response to questions about the recent Ruby Princess outbreaks that “the protocols that have been established work.”
“When cases are identified because of the testing onboard, cruise ship protocols help to maximize onboard containment with rapid response procedures designed to safeguard all other guests and crew as well as the communities that the ships visit,” the cruise line statement continued.
The measures include a CDC requirement of having at least 95% of guests prove they’re fully vaccinated at least two weeks before the trip, with the exception of children under age 5 not currently eligible for the shots, the cruise line said. Crew members are vaccinated and will receive a booster dose in accordance with CDC guidelines.
Guests also must provide proof of a negative viral COVID-19 test taken before or at embarkation, and those on back-to-back voyages disembark the ship at the end of each trip and receive a complimentary test for COVID-19, the company said. They cannot board the ship again unless they receive a negative test result. Protocols for testing, it said, are based on CDC guidance, and onboard COVID-19 medical care is available free of charge.
San Francisco health officials said they have additional agreements with cruise lines embarking or disembarking in the city requiring them to arrange private transport and onshore housing for quarantine of infected passengers or crew. Cruise lines are also required to have private agreements with medical facilities to treat positive passengers or crew, in the event hospitalization is required.
None of the recent cruise ship outbreaks were at the highest “red” level that would trigger additional health measures such as requiring testing to screen passengers and crew for the virus, mandating mask wearing and notifying passengers on the current, previous, and subsequent voyages.
The CDC investigates outbreaks affecting at least 0.3% of passengers or crew members. The 951-foot-long Ruby Princess, which took her maiden voyage in 2008, can carry 3,080 passengers and 1,200 crew members.
According to CruiseMapper.com, she’s due back Saturday in San Francisco from an Easter trip that began April 16 down the California coast to Ensenada, Mexico. | https://www.montereyherald.com/2022/04/23/covid-19-outbreak-hits-another-bay-area-cruise-ship-voyage/ | 2022-04-23T22:05:29Z | https://www.montereyherald.com/2022/04/23/covid-19-outbreak-hits-another-bay-area-cruise-ship-voyage/ | true | 11 |

BEIRUT (AP) — A boat carrying 60 migrants capsized Saturday night off the Lebanese coast, the Lebanese Red Cross said. It was not immediately clear if there were any deaths.
The Red Cross said it sent ambulances to the port of the northern city of Tripoli in case there were casualties.
Prime Minister Najib Mikati's office said the boast capsized shortly after leaving the northern coastal town of Qalamoun near Tripoli, Lebanon's second largest city.
Mikati's office said the Lebanese army and authorities were on high alert following the case.
For many years Lebanon was a country that took in refugees, but since the country's economic meltdown began in October 2019, thousands of people have left on boats heading to Europe.
Lebanon, a small Mediterranean nation of 6 million people, including 1 million Syrian refugees, is in the grip of the worst economic crisis in the country's modern history. The economic meltdown has put more three-quarters of the country's population into poverty. | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4517074 | 2022-04-23T22:10:45Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4517074 | true | 11 |
Tory rebels hatch plot to topple Boris Johnson if they suffer heavy elections defeat
TORY rebels have hatched a timebomb plot to topple Boris Johnson if they get an elections drubbing.
They have drawn up post-dated letters to trigger a confidence vote once the results pour in.
MPs worn down by the five-month Partygate row have said a heavy defeat will be the final straw.
One admitted he has a letter to backbenchers’ leader Sir Graham Brady, dated May 6, the day after the elections.
He said: “I haven’t handed it in yet but it’s signed, sealed and ready to go.
“I’m not the only one. The elections will give us a clear idea of whether people still trust the PM.”
Jittery MPs were openly discussing a change of leadership after another week of chaos in Westminster.
Previous attempts to force a challenge were abandoned after rebels failed to gather the 54 letters required.
But pressure on the PM has intensified as they meet voters while canvassing.
It comes as an Opinium survey showed Mr Johnson’s approval rating has hit its lowest since before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Three in five people disapprove of his performance in the job and nearly as many think he should resign.
Senior MPs say the biggest backlash next month will be from “white wine” Tories not voting in the shires.
Mr Johnson also faces the possibility of further Party-gate fines — as well as the report by ethics chief Sue Gray and now an inquiry by the privileges committee into whether he misled Parliament.
Most read in The Sun
One MP said: “He’s got more hurdles to clear in the weeks ahead than a horse running the Grand National — and from where I stand, he doesn’t look like a thoroughbred.”
Yesterday, Mr Johnson’s allies breathed a sigh of relief after learning he did not receive a second fine for breaking lockdown rules.
He was not among those police sent fixed penalty notices for attending the “bring your own booze” party in the No10 garden on May 20, 2020. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18353490/boris-johnson-topple-tories-elections/ | 2022-04-23T22:14:53Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18353490/boris-johnson-topple-tories-elections/ | true | 2 |

DEAR ABBY: I've been married for 14 years and have two kids. Our youngest is 11. For the last nine years, it has been a loveless marriage. Luckily, he works a lot, but when he's home, I stay in my bedroom. The only thing we do together is eat dinner. Our kids are thriving in school, and I worry that leaving will hurt them terribly. Should I wait until our youngest graduates?
I am 47 and have multiple sclerosis that is slowly progressing. I do not have family and friends for support. Could I be even more lonely if I leave? The thought of divorce feels overwhelming, but I feel like life is passing me by. Hoping you can point me in the right direction. -- LIVING IN LIMBO IN MISSOURI
DEAR LIVING: I wish you had mentioned what it was nine years ago that created a rift between you and your husband. If it was your diagnosis, it is truly regrettable. In the interim, have you tried talking about this with a marriage and family therapist? If the answer is no, you should.
I am concerned about the degree of isolation you are feeling. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society (nationalmssociety.org) offers virtual and in-person support groups that might benefit you greatly.
Divorcing one's spouse is not a guarantee that one's loneliness will end, as many divorced women and men can attest. The National MS Society may be able to provide what you need right now.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are expecting our first child. We are over the moon about it, and have lots of support from family and friends near and far. My husband's family lives in another state and would need to fly to visit us. His parents are separated, and elderly.
I love his mother dearly, but I have an issue with her best friend, "Myra." Myra has always been passive-aggressive. She makes things difficult and makes rude, snide comments. My mother-in-law plans to travel to meet our new baby, but she wants Myra to be her travel companion.
Abby, after the stress and exhaustion of delivering a baby and any postpartum aftermath, plus the desire to keep our circle small due to COVID, I do not want to see Myra in the first few months after delivery. I have no issues with my mother-in-law, and don't want to prohibit her from seeing her new grandbaby. But she refuses to travel alone. Am I going too far in saying I won't be up for visiting with her snide best friend? -- PREGNANT IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR PREGNANT: I don't think you are going too far. You have the right to control who comes into your home. Tell your mother-in-law you would welcome her coming to see the new baby, but that Myra is not welcome in your home and will have to make other plans while Grandma is visiting your infant.
If she asks why, tell her the truth -- that Myra is negative and snide, and you don't want to be exposed to that while you are in a vulnerable state. If she can't agree to your wishes, tell her you and her son will visit her when the baby is older, but you will make sure she has plenty of pictures and videos in the meantime. | https://lompocrecord.com/lifestyles/columnist/dear_abby/dear-abby-woman-faces-uncertainty-in-marriage-health-and-future/article_ffdf0ee4-8c7b-53ce-9ae2-642df0739535.html | 2022-04-23T22:35:38Z | https://lompocrecord.com/lifestyles/columnist/dear_abby/dear-abby-woman-faces-uncertainty-in-marriage-health-and-future/article_ffdf0ee4-8c7b-53ce-9ae2-642df0739535.html | false | 14 |
Just a day after Islamic State’s Khorasan (IS-K) chapter claimed responsibility for a series of blasts primarily targeting Afghanistan’s Hazara community, a deadly bombing at a Sunni mosque during Friday prayers rocked the city of Kunduz resulting in 33 deaths, including children. As no group has so far taken ownership of the latest attack and this particular incident targeted Sunnis rather than Shias, it is clear that multiple terror outfits are operating in Afghanistan and are evidently able to carry out their activities without much hindrance. With the Taliban government unwilling to fully accept this reality, denying the presence of terror groups in the country, such a rapid deterioration of the security situation was to be expected. What is more, in the absence of any tangible meaningful action against these groups by Kabul, the latter has been able to comfortably hit targets across the border in Pakistan. The Pakistan Army soldiers were martyred in North Waziristan following a gunfight with Afghan terrorists across the border. Since the Taliban takeover, the TTP has resurged and gained prominence once again and continues to successfully attack security personnel on Pakistani soil, predominantly in Balochistan where it has managed to gain the support of the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA). IS-K struck a Shia Mosque in Peshawar last month, killing over 60 worshippers.
A major reason for the support of the Taliban was to establish law and order, and bring such episodes to an end.While Pakistan should be concerned about the state of the relationship, Afghanistan should be more concerned. The Taliban government should realise that if it cannot maintain normal relations with its neighbours, it is failing a very basic test of its readiness to be included in the comity of nations. Other standards have been laid down, such as respect for human rights and readiness to allow female education, but the very basic minimum, preventing its territory from being used to launch terrorism against other countries, is hardly an imposition; it is merely something states do for each other. | https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2022/04/24/afghan-terrorism/ | 2022-04-23T22:37:35Z | https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2022/04/24/afghan-terrorism/ | true | 1 |

U.S. Fish and Wildlife staff in North Carolina welcomed a litter of six red wolf pups into the world earlier this week. It's the first time in four years that a pair of wild red wolves — a species teetering on the brink of extinction — gave birth to a litter in the wild.
The newborn pups, four females and two males, were found in the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge along the coast of northeastern North Carolina. Staff at the Red Wolf Recovery Program announced the paw-sitive news on Facebook Thursday.
"This new litter is the first wild-born litter of red wolves since 2018. This red wolf pair was formed through the combination of several management actions and the two red wolves subsequently following their natural instincts in pairing, establishing their territory and mating," the post read. "Every generation yields a new born hope for the red wolf...a cause for joy and celebration!"
Before settlers arrived in North America, red wolves thrived throughout the Southeast U.S, from Florida to the Great Plains and the Ohio River Valley, according to national conservation organization Defenders of Wildlife. But through hunting, extermination and the expansion of cities and towns, humans drove the species to near extinction.
There were a mere 17 wolves left to save when the Endangered Species Act passed in 1973. Before 14 of the remaining 17 wolves were trapped and transferred into captivity, the handful of survivors lived across a small area of the Louisiana and Texas coast.
The remaining wolves disappeared, Fish and Wildlife said, attributed to continued human persecution and a loss of habitat. The red wolf was declared extinct in the wild in 1980.
Just four years later, there were 63 healthy red wolves in captivity, which were being prepared to release into the wild with hopes of giving the species a second chance. As part of the Red Wolf Species Survival Plan, the Red Wolf Recovery Program said, more than 60 adult wolves were released into the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge between 1987 and 1994.
In the following years, the wolves did what came naturally: They maintained territories, formed packs and more importantly, began to breed.
As other environmentalists marveled at the success of the Red Wolf Recovery Program, it became a model for reintroduction efforts of gray wolves, Mexican wolves, California condors and the black-footed ferret.
In 2012, the population reached a peak of 120. According to the FWS, this was the first time a large carnivore was brought back from extinction and reintroduced to the wild in the U.S.
But once again, humans threatened the handful of the surviving wolves.
Conservationists came to the wolves' aid once again in 2012, after one red wolf after another was shot and killed, having been mistaken for a coyote, according to a Southern Environmental Law Center news release. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission had recently approved a temporary rule allowing hunters to kill coyotes, which occasionally breed with the wolves, at night in the area where red wolf was trying to make a comeback.
The population had dropped to 100 by the time a settlement was reached between environmentalists and the NCWRC. Spotlight hunting at night was outlawed and hunters were required to carry a permit for coyote hunting during daylight hours.
But the number of wolves continued to dwindle, reaching a concerning low population estimate of 17-20 in 2020 and 2021. There has been a steady decline in red wolves born in the wild from 2008, which saw 47 new wolves, to only four pups in 2018. Fish and Wildlife didn't report a single red wolf birth in the wild in 2019, 2020 or 2021.
Which is why the recent litter of six is such exciting news to conservationists and wolf enthusiasts alike. As of today, there are an estimated 15 to 17 red wolves living in the wild. Another 241 exist in captivity. They continue to be one of the most endangered animals on the planet.

Quignon, Ferreira score late, send Dallas past Houston 2-1
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Facundo Quignon scored a goal in the third minute of second-half stoppage time to send FC Dallas to a 2-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo in MLS action. Sebastian Ferreira notched his third goal of the season to give the Dynamo (3-2-3) a 1-0 lead in the 33rd minute. Dallas (4-1-3) didn’t score the equalizer until Tsiki Ntsabeleng found the net in the 87th minute. | https://ktvz.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/04/23/quignon-ferreira-score-late-send-dallas-past-houston-2-1/ | 2022-04-23T22:58:43Z | https://ktvz.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/04/23/quignon-ferreira-score-late-send-dallas-past-houston-2-1/ | true | null |
When Beth Patterson and her partner Nels Olson moved to Avola last July, they were pleased to have a creek running through their 18.5-acre property to source their water.
But just a few weeks after settling in, they were surprised to see brown water “running like chocolate milk” out of their taps.
Patterson investigated, walking to where the creek splits off into the property’s sifting ponds. All the way along the creek, the water was muddy, as if there had been a slide. The next day, Olson walked north, following the creek up steep, overgrown terrain.
Eventually, he came across a new logging road that was being constructed above the creek about two kilometres from their property.
He said he didn’t see any retaining walls or other measures to prevent runoff or breakage from falling into the creek below.
“Chunks of the road that they were building were literally sliding down the hill into our drinking water,” said Patterson.
The couple said they hadn’t been notified that any logging or construction would be happening near their property. Patterson said she called the previous owner, who told them BC Timber Sales (BCTS) had notified them that they were going to be logging a section of land north of the property.
However, to her recollection, they weren’t supposed to be working yet, she said, noting she had given the couple’s information to BCTS.
“There’s just no way they couldn’t have gotten hold of us,” said Olson. “The previous owner gave them our number, names. I personally grew up in the same neighbourhood as the main foreman here … there’s no excuse they were doing what they did.”
Patterson and Olson tracked down contacts at BCTS, who said they would send out a representative to assess the situation. They received a call the next day from BCTS who told them the sediment fencing had fallen down but it had been fixed.
BCTS also showed up with an excavator to clean out one of the settling ponds and helped to flush out the irrigation system and their water heater.
However, she said their water quality was never the same, and they feel it’s unsafe and unsanitary.
“It just coats everything,” she said. “When I do a load of laundry, the amount of sediment on the inside is insane. I have to vacuum it out every single time.”
The couple submitted three natural resource violation tickets for water quality and paid to have their water tested. When their water tests showed high levels of E. coli, heavy metals and uranium, they reached out to the Forest Practices Board (FPB).
Patterson said BCTS paid for more water tests. Since the initial testing and the system flushes, she said subsequent tests have shown a decrease in heavy metal levels but the turbidity is still higher than the recommended level for drinking water.
And a few months later, in November, BCTS agreed to supply the couple with drinking water, dropping off about 10 20-litre jugs of filtered water every few weeks. Patterson said they suggested the couple install a well, but she argued the water supply would come from the same place, which had been contaminated.
“We’re sort of at a stalemate at this point,” said Patterson. “They haven’t provided a plan to fix it.”
BC Timber Sales did not respond to numerous requests for comment for this story. The Times staff reached out numerous times through email and left multiple voicemails with their head office location in Victoria.
The couple reached out to environmental agencies and legal aid programs. They were turned down by many groups but finally received help from West Coast Environmental Aid and received grant funds to pay for an environmental lawyer, Carla Conkin.
Conkin said they’ve been trying to have a conversation with the province to deal with the problem before initiating any formal legal action. She did maintain that they will move forward with any legal remedies available.
In a case like theirs’, she said, there really isn’t an issue in dispute.
“It’s ‘Patterson and Olson had a water supply before, and now they don’t,’” said Conkin.
She added the case isn’t just about Patterson and Olson, but is a concern for anyone who owns rural property where there could be logging nearby. It’s a David and Goliath situation, Conkin noted – a couple who bought their dream property, versus the government.
“The bottom line simply is that they have no access to water … and the province has been silent on this,” she said. “This isn’t something that should go to court, this is a matter of dealing and doing the right thing and there’s just no question of fault.”
The FPB confirmed to the Times that they are investigating a complaint from Avola residents “about the impact of road construction on their water.”
A site visit was completed, and those involved were interviewed. Once the investigation is complete, the board said it will review and release it to the public along with any recommendations on improving forest practices and planning. The FPB cannot levy fines or award penalties. The report is expected in early summer.
The Times reached out to Interior Health, and a spokesperson said the health authority did not receive a request related to the property, and added that it doens’t regularly monitor or inspect private water systems. They did say, however, that “environmental health officers will review specific health concerns if they are raised about individual sources.”
The Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development said in a statement it had received a lawyer’s letter written to them regarding a property in Avola, and as the matter was referred to the ministry’s counsel for investigation, they were unable to comment.
As the weather warms up, Patterson and Olson are worried construction of the road will continue. They’re also concerned about a 30-person camp to be built in the Avola area this fall or in 2023. If BCTS continues its project, they could be crossing Avola Creek, where a lot of townspeople source their water.
“Everyone else in town is going to be dealing with the exact same thing that we’re dealing with,” said Patterson. “We’re the canary in the coal mine.”

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces in Ukraine tried to storm a steel plant housing soldiers and civilians in the southern city of Mariupol on Saturday in an attempt to crush the last pocket of resistance in a place of deep symbolic and strategic value to Moscow, Ukrainian officials said.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, meanwhile, announced he would meet Sunday in Kyiv with the U.S. secretary of state, Antony Blinken, and with the U.S. secretary of defense, Lloyd Austin. The White House declined comment.
Speaking in a news conference, Zelenskyy gave little detail about logistics of the encounter but said he expected concrete results — “not just presents or some kind of cakes, we are expecting specific things and specific weapons.”
The reported assault on the steel plant on the eve of Orthodox Easter came after the Kremlin claimed its military had seized all of the shattered city except for the Azovstal plant, and as Russian forces pounded other cities and towns in southern and eastern Ukraine.
Elsewhere in the country, a 3-month-old baby was among six people killed when Russia fired cruise missiles at the Black Sea port city of Odesa, officials said.
“The war started when this baby was one month old. Can you imagine what is happening?” Zelenskyy said. “They are just bastards. … I don’t have any other words for it, just bastards.”
The fate of the Ukrainians inthe sprawling and beseiged seaside steel mill in Mariupol wasn’t immediately clear; earlier Saturday, a Ukrainian military unit released a video reportedly taken two days earlier in which women and children holed up underground, some for as long as two months, said they longed to see the sun.
“We want to see peaceful skies, we want to breathe in fresh air,” one woman in the video said. “You have simply no idea what it means for us to simply eat, drink some sweetened tea. For us, it is already happiness.”
Russia said it took control of several villages elsewhere in the eastern Donbas region and destroyed 11 Ukrainian military targets overnight, including three artillery warehouses. Russian attacks also struck populated areas.
Associated Press journalists observed shelling in residential areas of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city; regional Gov. Oleh Sinehubov said three people were killed. In the Luhansk area of the Donbas, Gov. Serhiy Haidai said six people died during the shelling of a village, Gorskoi.
In Sloviansk, a town in northern Donbas, AP witnessed two soldiers arriving at a hospital, one of them mortally wounded. Nearby, a small group of people gathered outside a church where a priest blessed them with holy water on Holy Saturday.
While British officials said Russian forces had not gained significant new ground, Ukrainian officials announced a nationwide curfew ahead of Easter Sunday, a sign of the war’s disruption and threat to the entire country.
Mariupol has been a key Russian objective since the invasion began Feb. 24 and has taken on outsize importance in the war. Completing its capture would give Russia its biggest victory yet, after a nearly two-month siege reduced much of the city to a smoking ruin.
It would deprive Ukrainian of a vital port, free up Russian troops to fight elsewhere and establish a land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which Moscow seized in 2014. Russia-backed separatists control parts of the Donbas.
An adviser to Ukraine’s presidential office, Oleksiy Arestovich, said Russian forces resumed airstrikes on the Azovstal plant and were also trying to storm it, in an apparent reversal of tactics. Two days earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin had given an order not to send troops in but instead to blockade the plant.
Ukrainian officials have estimated that about 2,000 of their troops are inside the plant along with civilians sheltering in its underground tunnels.
Earlier Saturday the Azov Regiment of Ukraine’s National Guard, which has members holed up in the plant, released the video of around two dozen women and children. Its contents could not be independently verified, but if authentic, it would be the first video testimony of what life has been like for civilians trapped underground there.
The video shows soldiers giving sweets to children who respond with fist-bumps. One young girl says she and her relatives “haven’t seen neither the sky nor the sun” since they left home Feb. 27.
The regiment’s deputy commander, Sviatoslav Palamar, told AP the video was shot Thursday. The Azov Regiment has its roots in the Azov Battalion, which was formed by far-right activists in 2014 at the start of the separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine and has elicited criticism for some of its tactics.
More than 100,000 people — down from a prewar population of about 430,000 — are believed to remain in Mariupol with scant food, water or heat. Ukrainian authorities estimate that over 20,000 civilians have been killed in the city.
Satellite images released this week showed what appeared to be two recently excavated mass grave sites next to cemeteries in two towns near Mariupol, and local officials accused Russia of burying thousands of civilians to conceal the slaughter taking place there. The Kremlin has not commented on the images.
Yet another attempt to evacuate women, children and older adults from Mariupol failed Saturday. Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to Mariupol’s mayor, said Russian forces did not allow Ukrainian-organized buses to take residents to Zaporizhzhia, a city 227 kilometers (141 miles) to the northwest.
“At 11 o’clock, at least 200 Mariupol residents gathered near the Port City shopping center, waiting for evacuation,” Andryushchenko posted on the Telegram messaging app. “The Russian military drove up to the Mariupol residents and ordered them to disperse, because now there will be shelling.”
At the same time, he said, Russian buses assembled about 200 meters (yards) away. Residents who boarded those were told they were being taken to separatist-occupied territory and not allowed to disembark, Andryushchenko said. His account could not be independently verified.
In the attack on Odesa, Russian troops fired at least six missiles, according to Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister.
“Residents of the city heard explosions in different areas,” Gerashchenko said via Telegram. “Residential buildings were hit. It is already known about one victim. He burned in his car in a courtyard of one of the buildings.”
Zelenskyy’s news conference was held in a Kyiv subway station, where he paused at one point as a train noisily passed through. The subway system, which includes the world’s deepest station, attracted widespread attention early in the war when hordes of people took shelter there, fearing the city center would be bombed.
Regarding the expected visit Sunday by U.S. officials, Zelenskyy said: “I believe that we will be able to get agreements from the United States or part of that package on arming Ukraine which we agreed on earlier. Besides, we have strategic questions about security guarantees, which it is time to discuss in detail, because the United States will be one of those leaders of security countries for our state.”
Also Saturday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson talked with Zelenskyy and promised more drones, vehicles and anti-tank missiles.

Tyson Fury has confirmed he is planning to retire from boxing after knocking out Dillian Whyte at Wembley
The world heavyweight champion viciously stopped Whyte in the sixth round of their mandatory title fight in front of a record-breaking 94,000-person crowd in his home country. He dropped his fellow Brit with a massive uppercut to finish the fight, and now believes his career is over.
He had vowed to finish his fighting journey after defeating Deontay Wilder in their trilogy bout in Las Vegas last year, but has now told wife Paris that he will retire after a stunning homecoming. "I promised my lovely wife Paris of 14 years that after the Wilder 3 fight, that would be it," he told BT Sport after the fight.
"I meant it, we had a war, it was a great trilogy and I meant that. But I got offered to fight at Wembley at home and I believe I owed it to the fans, every person in the United Kingdom to come here and fight at Wembley. Now that it's all done, I think this is it, this might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King. What a way to go out, a big thank you to the United Kingdom!"
Fury won every round on his way to defeating Whyte, not allowing the Londoner to get inside and land his famous left hook. And with the halfway point of the fight just seconds away, he landed the same shot that cost Whyte his other two losses against Anthony Joshua and Alexander Povetkin.
"First of all I want to say, as always, I dedicate this to my lord and saviour Jesus Christ," Fury proclaimed in his post-fight speech. "He gave me the victory again tonight and I gave him the glory. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I won this fight in my lovely country tonight.
"My England! We are spartans! I just want to say, I'm overwhelmed with the support and I cannot believe that my 94,000 countrymen and women have come here tonight to see me perform. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much to every single person who bought a ticket here tonight or stayed up late to watch this on TV.
" Dillian Whyte is a warrior, and I believe he will be a world champion. But tonight, he met a great in the sport. I'm one of the greatest heavyweights of all times and unfortunately for Dillian Whyte, he had to face me here tonight.
Do you believe Tyson Fury when he says that he's retired from boxing? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!
"There's no disgrace, he's a tough, game man who's as strong as a bull and he's got the heart of a lion. You're not messing with a mediocre heavyweight, you're messing with the best heavyweight on the planet and that's what you've seen tonight.
"As a professional, it was an uppercut and even Lennox Lewis would be proud of that right uppercut tonight."
And he took the opportunity to thank coach SugarHill Steward, who turned him from the sleek boxer he was when he first became champion into the power puncher he has become in recent years. "This man here, SugarHill Steward, made me the great fighter that I am," he added.
"Years ago, I used to jib and jab, touch and slide, but you've seen now tonight, Sugar, what a legend you are, mate. You've made me the biggest puncher in the heavyweight division by a mile. This man is the best trainer in world boxing including anybody. Unbelievable tonight, we were." | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/other-sport/boxing/tyson-fury-retires-from-boxing-26783505 | 2022-04-23T23:23:36Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/other-sport/boxing/tyson-fury-retires-from-boxing-26783505 | true | 2 |
Don’t call him CEO: Jack Dorsey says he’s ‘Block Head’ now
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Technology entrepreneur and former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has a new title: Block Head. A regulatory disclosure Friday from digital payments company Block Inc. says that its co-founder Dorsey is changing his role from Block’s CEO, president and chairperson to “Block Head and Chairperson,” effective immediately. The filing says it’s a semantic change only and there will be no changes in his responsibilities. Dorsey co-founded the payments business as Square in 2009. It was renamed Block in December to reflect its broader business ambitions. | https://kvia.com/news/business-technology/ap-national-business/2022/04/23/dont-call-him-ceo-jack-dorsey-says-hes-block-head-now/ | 2022-04-23T23:24:29Z | https://kvia.com/news/business-technology/ap-national-business/2022/04/23/dont-call-him-ceo-jack-dorsey-says-hes-block-head-now/ | false | null |

The winner of his last two starts last season at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, he was sent off a 20/1 chase in a letter race when outclassed at Pontefract, but dropped in to this more appropriate company he ought to hit the places at the very least.

Teen dies from drowning complications after water rescue, coroner says
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF/Gray News) - A teen rescued last week after having trouble in the water at a South Carolina beach has died.
WMBF reports Andrea Renee Brown, 14, and her 15-year-old brother were swimming in the ocean when they suddenly needed to be rescued on April 15.
The teens were rushed to a local hospital, but the Horry County coroner said Brown ended up dying from drowning complications on Monday.
A family member said they were visiting the Grand Strand area from Four Oaks, North Carolina.
Myrtle Beach Fire Department Battalion Chief Marvin Hickman said about 15 rescue crews responded to the original call.
Hickman said it did not appear that the teens got stuck in a rip current but it was a red flag day with high surf and strong currents. He also cautioned all beachgoers to know their limits when in the water.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Momentum can vanish in one match. Austin FC saw all of its efforts spoiled Wednesday night, losing its Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup debut to the United Soccer League’s San Antonio FC after pouring in 120 minutes of work.
Austin and San Antonio went to additional extra time before San Antonio scored the game-winning goal for a 2-1 victory. However, there’s no time for the Verde and Black to feel sorry for themselves.
Austin FC can keep its torrid start to the MLS season alive and flush out the poor taste of Wednesday with a home match against Vancouver Saturday night. Kickoff is set at Q2 Stadium for 7:30 p.m. on The CW Austin. The Austin FC pregame show begins at 7 p.m. CDT on The CW Austin.
This will be Austin’s third game in eight days after the match in San Antonio and a road-trip win last Saturday at D.C. United.
Verde will start Saturday’s game in third place in the Western Conference standings with 14 points, trailing LAFC and FC Dallas.
Vancouver is 2-0 against Austin FC all time, winning both 2021 matches. This year’s version of the Whitecaps has failed to launch with only one win and four points in seven matches.

We are proud to have recovered billions of dollars for our clients and the classes of shareholders we represent.
PLAYSTUDIOS' ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
On February 1, 2021, Acies, a special purpose acquisition company, announced that it had reached a merger agreement with "Old Playstudios," a privately-held gaming company (the "Merger"). PLAYSTUDIOS' flagship game was Kingdom Boss. PLAYSTUDIOS told investors that "Kingdom Boss, which began development in 2020, will launch as expected in the second half of 2021."
On June 17, 2021, Acies held a General Meeting where Acies shareholders were asked to approve
the Merger. The Merger closed on June 21, 2021, and on June 22, 2021, PLAYSTUDIOS stock and warrants began publicly trading on NASDAQ.
The truth began to be revealed on August 11, 2021, when PLAYSTUDIOS released its financial results for the second quarter of 2021 wherein PLAYSTUDIOS revealed for the first time that the Kingdom Boss launch was being delayed until later in the year and that investors should expect decreased revenues and profits during the year as a result. These quarterly financial results were finalized on June 30, 2021, just nine days after the Merger closed. Thus, defendants knew or recklessly disregarded prior to the merger close (June 21, 2021) and prior to the merger vote by the Acies shareholders (June 17, 2021), that Kingdom Boss would not be ready to launch within just a matter of weeks. Following this news, PLAYSTUDIOS stock price fell $.66 to close at $5.09 per share on August 12, 2021, a decline of 13%.
Then, on February 24, 2022, during an earnings call for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021, PLAYSTUDIOS' CEO, much to investors' surprise, disclosed that Kingdom Boss would not be launched at all. Following this news, PLAYSTUDIOS stock price fell $.24 to close at $4.86 per share on February 25, 2022, a decline of 5%. Two days later, on February 26, 2022, PLAYSTUDIOS' CEO attributed the failure to meet the projections made for revenue and earnings to the failure to launch Kingdom Boss, and revealed that Kingdom Boss was not only delayed, but indefinitely "suspended."
WHAT CAN I DO?
Current PLAYSTUDIOS investors and/or former Acies shareholders may, no later than June 6, 2022 seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

Ukraine battered again; Zelenskyy says US officials to visit
April 24, 2022 10:28 am
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy [Source: AP]
Russian forces in Ukraine tried to storm a steel plant housing soldiers and civilians in the southern city of Mariupol.
This was in an attempt to crush the last pocket of resistance in a place of deep symbolic and strategic value to Moscow, Ukrainian officials said.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, meanwhile, announced he would meet Sunday in his nation’s capital with the U.S. secretary of state, Antony Blinken, and the U.S. secretary of defense, Lloyd Austin. The White House declined to comment.
Speaking in a news conference, Zelenskyy gave little detail about logistics of the encounter but said he expected concrete results — “not just presents or some kind of cakes, we are expecting specific things and specific weapons.”
It would be the first high-level U.S. trip to Kyiv since the war began Feb. 24. While visiting Poland in March, Blinken stepped briefly onto Ukrainian soil to meet with the country’s foreign minister. Zelenskyy’s last face-to-face meeting with a U.S. leader was Feb. 19 with Vice President Kamala Harris.
In attacks on the eve of Orthodox Easter, Russian forces pounded cities and towns in southern and eastern Ukraine.
A 3-month-old baby was among six people killed when Russia fired cruise missiles at the Black Sea port city of Odesa, officials said.
“The war started when this baby was one month old. Can you imagine what is happening?” Zelenskyy said. “They are just bastards. … I don’t have any other words for it, just bastards.”
The fate of the Ukrainians in the sprawling and beseiged seaside steel mill in Mariupol, where Russia says its forces have taken the rest of the city, wasn’t immediately clear. Earlier Saturday, a Ukrainian military unit released a video reportedly taken two days earlier in which women and children holed up underground, some for as long as two months, said they longed to see the sun.
“We want to see peaceful skies, we want to breathe in fresh air,” one woman in the video said. “You have simply no idea what it means for us to simply eat, drink some sweetened tea. For us, it is already happiness.”
Russia said it took control of several villages elsewhere in the eastern Donbas region and destroyed 11 Ukrainian military targets overnight, including three artillery warehouses. Russian attacks also struck populated areas.
Associated Press journalists observed shelling in residential areas of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city; regional Gov. Oleh Sinehubov said three people were killed. In the Luhansk area of the Donbas, Gov. Serhiy Haidai said six people died during the shelling of a village, Gorskoi.
In Sloviansk, a town in northern Donbas, AP witnessed two soldiers arriving at a hospital, one of them mortally wounded. Nearby, a small group of people gathered outside a church where a priest blessed them with holy water on Holy Saturday.
Sitting in a wheelchair outside her damaged apartment, Anna Direnskaya, 70, said, “I want peace.”
One of many native Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine, Direnskaya said she wishes Russians would understand that Ukrainians are not bad people and that there should be no enmity between them.
“Why is this happening?” she said. “I don’t know.”
While British officials said Russian forces had not gained significant new ground, Ukrainian officials announced a nationwide curfew ahead of Easter Sunday, a sign of the war’s disruption and threat to the entire country.
Mariupol has been a key Russian objective and has taken on outsize importance in the war. Completing its capture would give Russia its biggest victory yet, after a nearly two-month siege reduced much of the city to a smoking ruin.
It would deprive Ukrainian of a vital port, free up Russian troops to fight elsewhere and establish a land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which Moscow seized in 2014. Russia-backed separatists control parts of the Donbas.
An adviser to Ukraine’s presidential office, Oleksiy Arestovich, said Russian forces resumed airstrikes on the Azovstal plant and were also trying to storm it, in an apparent reversal of tactics. Two days earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin had given an order not to send troops in but instead to blockade the plant.
Ukrainian officials have estimated that about 2,000 of their troops are inside the plant along with civilians sheltering in its underground tunnels.
Earlier Saturday the Azov Regiment of Ukraine’s National Guard, which has members holed up in the plant, released the video of around two dozen women and children. Its contents could not be independently verified, but if authentic, it would be the first video testimony of what life has been like for civilians trapped underground there.
The video shows soldiers giving sweets to children who respond with fist-bumps. One young girl says she and her relatives “haven’t seen neither the sky nor the sun” since they left home Feb. 27.
The regiment’s deputy commander, Sviatoslav Palamar, told AP the video was shot Thursday. The Azov Regiment has its roots in the Azov Battalion, which was formed by far-right activists in 2014 at the start of the separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine and has elicited criticism for some of its tactics.
More than 100,000 people — down from a prewar population of about 430,000 — are believed to remain in Mariupol with scant food, water or heat. Ukrainian authorities estimate that over 20,000 civilians have been killed in the city.
Satellite images released this week showed what appeared to be two recently excavated mass grave sites next to cemeteries in two towns near Mariupol, and local officials accused Russia of burying thousands of civilians to conceal the slaughter taking place there. The Kremlin has not commented on the images.
Yet another attempt to evacuate women, children and older adults from Mariupol failed Saturday. Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to Mariupol’s mayor, said Russian forces did not allow Ukrainian-organized buses to take residents to Zaporizhzhia, a city 227 kilometers (141 miles) to the northwest.
“At 11 o’clock, at least 200 Mariupol residents gathered near the Port City shopping center, waiting for evacuation,” Andryushchenko posted on the Telegram messaging app. “The Russian military drove up to the Mariupol residents and ordered them to disperse, because now there will be shelling.”
At the same time, he said, Russian buses assembled about 200 meters (yards) away. Residents who boarded those were told they were being taken to separatist-occupied territory and not allowed to disembark, Andryushchenko said. His account could not be independently verified.
In the attack on Odesa, Russian troops fired at least six missiles, according to Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister.
“Residents of the city heard explosions in different areas,” Gerashchenko said via Telegram. “Residential buildings were hit. It is already known about one victim. He burned in his car in a courtyard of one of the buildings.”
Zelenskyy’s news conference was held in a Kyiv subway station, where he paused at one point as a train noisily passed through. The subway system, which includes the world’s deepest station, attracted widespread attention early in the war when hordes of people took shelter there.
Regarding the expected visit Sunday by U.S. officials, Zelenskyy said: “I believe that we will be able to get agreements from the United States or part of that package on arming Ukraine which we agreed on earlier. Besides, we have strategic questions about security guarantees, which it is time to discuss in detail, because the United States will be one of those leaders of security countries for our state.”
Also Saturday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson talked with Zelenskyy and promised more drones, vehicles and anti-tank missiles. | https://www.fbcnews.com.fj/world/ukraine-battered-again-zelenskyy-says-us-officials-to-visit/ | 2022-04-23T23:54:35Z | https://www.fbcnews.com.fj/world/ukraine-battered-again-zelenskyy-says-us-officials-to-visit/ | true | 30 |
Tran Dinh Anh, deputy head of the Science, Technology and International Cooperation Department under the Vu Quang National Park, told Nhan dan (The People) online newspaper that the national park is caring for six northern pig-tailed macaques (Macaca leonine) and Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta); 40 turtles and a python (Python molurus), which were injured in traps or shot by poachers. Once they are healthy enough, they will be released back into the wild.
The staff of the national park have gained experience and skills in caring for the injured animals, Anh said.
Every time an injured animal is found, the staff of the national park will treat the animal, he added.
They also contact colleagues in wildlife rescue centres to learn how to treat and take care of each type of animal, he said.
At the Pu Mat National Park in the central province of Nghe An, veterinarian Nguyen Tat Ha, who has been caring for wildlife for 18 years, said injured animals can be very aggressive, with some requiring sedation.
Ha said the animals need urgent treatment, but this can be dangerous if the animal feels threatened and attacks the park staff.
Ha found this out the hard way, and has a scar on his right arm.
“So, whenever giving first aid to an injured animal, I always look at the scar, which reminds me to be careful,” he said.
Luu Trung Kien, deputy head of the national park, said the national park has treated thousands of injured wild animals over the past 18 years.
It has built facilities and allocated staff to set up the national park’s wildlife rescue centre, he said.
Normally, the animals will be released into the wild after three months of treatment, he said.
However, many animals need years of care before being released, he added.
Currently, there are two bears and four gibbons that are kept in cages because these individuals have lost their wild instincts, he said.
Therefore, special care and training is given so that the individuals could gradually adapt to the natural environment, he said.
Biodiversity conservation, anti-poaching
Thai Canh Toan, deputy director of the Vu Quang National Park, said in addition to receiving and caring for injured wild animals, the national park also coordinated with domestic and foreign scientists and experts to conduct surveys and research on biodiversity conservation in the national park.
There were two species discovered in the Vu Quang National Park in the last century. They were saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) and giant muntjac (Muntiacus vuquangensis).
The national park is home to many endangered and rare species of flora and fauna such as tigers, saola, gaur, elephants, giant muntjac and red-shanked douc, he said.
Nguyen Huu Trung, coordinator of the specialised forest protection group in the Pu Mat National Park, said poachers were now using more sophisticated traps and lures. They do not set traps following a fixed route but at random points, causing difficulties for the forest rangers.
Therefore, the scope of the search must be expanded, covering dozens of kilometres of forest roads to patrol and remove traps to protect the wildlife, he said.
In addition to 72 forest rangers, the national park also receives the support of Save Vietnam's Wildlife and Fauna & Flora International in animal rescue, scientific research and improving the effectiveness of law enforcement by community-based forest protection teams, he said.
As a result, it has ensured a highly-safe living environment for animals, he said.
Commercial logging has been stopped and the setting of traps to catch wild animals has decreased significantly, he said./. | https://vietnam.vnanet.vn/english/tin-van/national-parks-in-central-provinces-work-to-protect-wildlife-291909.html | 2022-04-24T00:02:31Z | https://vietnam.vnanet.vn/english/tin-van/national-parks-in-central-provinces-work-to-protect-wildlife-291909.html | true | 2 |

U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of West Virginia said Hall admitted that between May 2020 and Jan. 8, 2021, she stopped depositing the full amounts she collected from these machines into the airport's bank accounts and also took money from those accounts intended for deposit in the ATMs.
During this time period, Tri-State Airport received at least $10,000 per year in federal funding, which was deposited in its bank accounts. Hall admitted to diverting nearly $49,500.
Hall pleaded guilty to theft from programs receiving federal funds. She is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 15 and faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Hall also agreed to pay restitution in the case.
United States Attorney Will Thompson made the announcement and commended the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Huntington Tri-State Airport Police and the Wayne County Sheriff's Department for conducting the investigation.
United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers presided over the hearing. Assistant United States Attorney Ryan A. Keefe is prosecuting the case. | https://news.yahoo.com/south-point-woman-pleads-guilty-222400930.html | 2022-04-24T00:04:14Z | https://news.yahoo.com/south-point-woman-pleads-guilty-222400930.html | false | 2 |

Alden Krider and Margaret “Peggy” Bacon were married in 1932 as both ended their junior year in architecture at Kansas State College — now Kansas State University. Alden worked at Varney’s Bookstore in Aggieville and on a Thursday evening at the beginning of March 1933, he collected his paycheck from Mrs. Varney and deposited it in the bank. Two days later, he found a sign on the bank door: “CLOSED”. All their money was locked inside. And thus, the Kriders started life together on the cusp of the Great Depression.
Alden, having won an Art Students’ League scholarship where he spent several months studying painting in New York City, completed his degree after returning to Kansas. He kept his diploma, but apparently, Peggy did not. She had asked for it to be issued to “Margaret Bacon,” but the administration insisted that, as her name was then “Margaret Krider,” that was the person who got the diploma.
Things looked bleak everywhere. The election of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in November 1932 brought a hope for change. But this was Republican Kansas, where many were adamantly opposed to Roosevelt’s “socialist” programs for relief.
Jobs were hard to find and Alden took part-time work with the Kansas Highway Department in Hutchinson. But this wasn’t enough to live on. The couple had to come up with another plan. Alden would have loved to have had a career as an artist, but that seemed an even less-possible way to earn a living than architecture.
One American artist was touring the country successfully, however, and making money with marionette shows. In 1933, Tony Sarg, a puppeteer, was featured at the World’s Fair Exhibition in Chicago. If Sarg could do it, Alden and Peg figured, why couldn’t they?
Quoting from a Hutchinson newspaper of that time, the Kriders “went into a huddle … and asked themselves, why not? The fact that they didn’t know the first principle of marionette composition and operation made no difference. They had learned architecture and design. … They saw nothing to hinder a marionette show of their own.”
But who would come to see a marionette show in Kansas, mired in the Depression as they were and with the dust starting to blow? Maybe it was a time that children and adults alike could use a good fairy tale where Prince Charming slew the wicked Dragon and everyone lived happily ever after!
So, their marionette company — “The Jesters”— was born.
Alden and Peggy wrote scripts, researched how to make marionettes, drummed up places to give their shows, and figured out admission prices, which ranged from 10-25 cents. Many things referenced life around them as they, family, and friends experienced these Depression years.
Alden built the marionette theater in their living room in Hutchinson, Peg sewed all the costumes, and together, they wrote scripts and made and strung all the marionettes. During these times, Peg’s father, a pharmacist with a legal degree who worked in his family’s drugstore, took on the job of booking agent and handled the contracts between The Jesters and communities and schools to schedule shows.
Once the company was operating successfully, the Kriders moved to Peggy’s family’s hometown of Holton and from there, between October 1933 and May 1935, they took “The Enchanted Prince” all over Kansas.
Alden and Peggy put on the shows, sometimes two in one day, by themselves. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive. Children and adults enjoyed the cavorting dog, the wise old sage and the sword play between the Prince and the Evil Sorcerer — and they were enthralled with the fire-breathing dragon. They received complimentary letters from Lindsborg artist Birger Sandzén, who called them “fine Kansas artists,” as well as John Steuart Curry, who had been one of Alden’s instructors in New York.
When they played in Manhattan, the Sunday, Nov. 25, 1934, Manhattan Morning Chronicle carried the following article on the front page:
PUPPET SHOW HERE MONDAY
Krider’s Marionettes to Perform Twice at High School
The American Association of University Women will bring “The Enchanted Prince” and his Puppet Jester marionettes to the high school auditorium Monday afternoon at 4:15 and again in the evening at 7 o’clock. The fact that dragons and fairies are included in the show does not make it an affair exclusively for children. Critics have ranked such displays among the arts and the one to come to Manhattan is one of the best. Alden Krider, graduate of the college, has spent several years in the perfection of his art in both this country and abroad. He has presented his show in art centers in many of the larger cities, including the William Rockhill Nelson gallery of art in Kansas City.
The puppet fairy story has a cast of 12 dolls which walk and talk and bow and run in the manner of human heroes and villains. The dolls, made by Mr. and Mrs. Krider, are about two feet high and have papier mache heads moulded from clay. They are painted to give character expression. The final part of their construction is the stringing which is done very carefully so that the dolls will operate with the utmost smoothness and precision.
After receiving his degree in architecture at the college, Krider attended the Art Students league in New York where he became acquainted with Miss Helen Skinner of the Meredith Skinner puppets. Miss Skinner encouraged him in his work in puppetry. He organized his Jesters soon afterward.
Alden and Peggy produced a second show, “Star of the Orient,” and had plans for several more when, in the fall of 1935, they both found real salaried work — although not yet as architects.
A clipping from the Holton Recorder on Oct. 3, 1935, carried this headline: “Young Holton Couple Continue Their Entertainment at WPA Camp Wood With Puppets.” This was the beginning of their work for FDR’s National Youth Administration. In addition to making marionette plays, Peggy taught book binding and showed the girls how to make tennis nets for Works Progress Administration projects, and Alden and the boys at one camp built a working iron lung.
In 1936, the Kansas NYA administrator asked Alden to paint a mural for its booth at the Kansas State Fair. This painting now belongs to the National Archives and it hangs in the Wallace Education Center at the Franklin Roosevelt Presidential Library.
In 1937, Alden was hired to serve as director of occupational therapy at the Menninger Children’s Clinic in Topeka and in 1938, the clinic offered the Kriders the opportunity to develop their own research tour to Europe to study the latest developments using arts and crafts in children’s therapy.
When the U.S. entered World War II, Alden was called to work at the North American Aviation plant in Kansas City. These experiences all provided chapters on Alden’s way to eventually becoming a practicing architect for a firm in Kansas City when the war was over. He then became a professor of architecture at K-State from 1949 until he retired in 1977.
At K-State, he was known for his History of Architecture classes where, before computers and the ease of digital images, he used more than one slide projector at a time to give a three-dimensional feeling to his slides. In addition to his architecture work, he developed several Art in Situation workshops at the university, as well as developing courses in Mosaics. His and his classes’ mosaics are featured on several K-State buildings, the most well-known being in Ward Hall.

Baylor fifth-year senior Gerry Bohanon and sophomore Blake Shapen have brought out the best in each other as they've battled throughout spring drills for the starting quarterback job.
At Saturday’s Green and Gold spring game, they each had big moments. Baylor coach Dave Aranda wasn’t ready to name a starter, but he’d like to make that decision in the upcoming weeks.
“I do want to be able to make a decision,” Aranda said. “We’ve got one-on-one meetings, we’ll meet with everyone on the team starting Monday. So when we get to the quarterbacks, we’ll review this film and talk with coaches, (Jeff) Grimes and Shawn (Bell) for sure.”
Taking turns leading the first-team offense, Bohanon and Shapen each hit some clutch passes in the Green team’s 28-16 win over the Gold at McLane Stadium.
While Bohanon made the bigger runs, Shapen threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to walk-on wide receiver Josh Cameron in the second quarter before hitting Monaray Baldwin in stride for a 50-yard touchdown in the final minutes of the game.

“There were a fair amount of layers today, and I felt they were kind of able to go back and forth in all of that and compete in the series with the other guys,” Aranda said. “So I was impressed with that. There would be one good drive that would be followed up by another good drive, so you could feel that competition.”
While starting quarterback is the most high profile battle on the team, there were a lot of other big plays and strong performances in Saturday’s spring game.
Walk-on quarterback CJ Rogers threw a perfectly placed 77-yard touchdown pass to Cameron Bonner late in the second quarter for the Gold team.
Outside linebacker Bryson Jackson delivered the biggest defensive play of the day as he intercepted a Bohanon pass and returned it for a 93-yard touchdown for the Gold team early in the second half.
“I dropped to the hash and the receiver (Seth Jones) was coming to the back side,” Jackson said. “When he came to the flat, I picked him up. He tried to look before catching the ball. I saw it and grabbed it, and did the best I could to get some yards and make a play.”
A sixth-year senior, Jackson is a candidate to step into a leadership role for Baylor’s defense since All-America safety Jalen Pitre, all-Big 12 linebacker Terrel Bernard and ballhawking safety JT Woods are gone with hopes of making the NFL.
“Yes, those guys have set a standard and I feel like everybody wants to be what they were,” Jackson said. “Young guys are trying and that's great to see. We're trying to get that unity together to where we trust each other and back each other. I feel like it's going well.”
Baylor’s defense has some key players returning like all-Big 12 noseguard Siaki “Apu” Ika, linebacker Dillon Doyle and cornerbacks Mark Milton and Al Walcott.
A major spring addition has been former Midway star Jaxon Player, an all-American Athletic Conference noseguard for Tulsa before transferring to Baylor.
“We’ve got a chance to be pretty good up front, and he’s a major part of that,” Aranda said. “I think he has been a quick learner. He originally was going to come in and play some end, and has done some of that, but played a fair amount of nose and has really made plays from that position.”
Former LSU linebacker Josh White is set to join Baylor this summer, and has a chance to battle for a starting spot.
“He’s smart, athletic, he’s a guy that can blitz, a guy that can cover,” Aranda said. “And I think everything’s hooked up right in terms of kind of knowing that he’s coming in having to earn stuff and getting to know people and ID the culture here, be him within it. So I’m excited for what he could bring.”
Two of Baylor’s most unproven areas are wide receiver and running back. The Bears lost their top three wide receivers from last season in Tyquan Thornton, RJ Sneed and Drew Estrada while all-Big 12 players Abram Smith and Trestan Ebner formed arguably the best backfield duo in the league.
But both Bonner and Baldwin showed their big-play ability Saturday while sixth-year senior Gavin Holmes is looking for a big season after he’s been hampered by knee injuries throughout his career.
“That was actually my first spring game,” Holmes said. “I feel really blessed and I'm soaking it all in like a freshman again. It's fun to go out there and play. Speaking for the receiver room, I thought we made huge jumps. It was really cool, especially me being the senior guy in it, seeing the young guys go out there and seeing them develop. As an offense, I think we grew a lot and came together.”
Baylor’s featured running backs appear to be 6-1, 211-pound junior Taye McWilliams, who could be a candidate for workhorse duty like Smith. Meanwhile, junior Craig “Sqwirl” Williams has the speed and explosiveness to fill a role like Ebner had.
After watching Williams deal with knee injuries, Aranda is glad to see him healthy again because he knows what he can bring to the table. Williams scored on touchdown runs of four and eight yards in the spring game.
“We’ve got a lot of speed, and I think we’ve all seen that in the last couple of months with our guys that are about to get drafted," Aranda said. "But really Sqwirl is as electric as anyone. I think for him to continue to build offensively and for them (the offensive staff) to build packages and roles for him, it’s way cool seeing it all come together. We’re hoping Sqwirl has the kind of season we all want him to have.” | https://wacotrib.com/sports/college/baylor/bohanon-shapen-still-locked-in-tight-battle-for-baylor-qb/article_64f0c0fc-c359-11ec-8a1c-ff87e97a5ab4.html | 2022-04-24T00:34:18Z | https://wacotrib.com/sports/college/baylor/bohanon-shapen-still-locked-in-tight-battle-for-baylor-qb/article_64f0c0fc-c359-11ec-8a1c-ff87e97a5ab4.html | false | 1 |

Macron or Le Pen: France faces stark choice for president
With polls showing neither candidate able to count on enough committed supporters, much will depend on a cohort of voters who are weighing up anxiety about the implications of a far-right presidency against anger at Macron's record since his 2017 election. If Le Pen does win, it would likely carry the same sense of stunning political upheaval as the British vote to leave the European Union or the U.S. election of Donald Trump in 2016.
The French vote on Sunday in an election that will decide whether pro-European Union, centrist President Emmanuel Macron keeps his job or is unseated by far-right eurosceptic Marine Le Pen in what would amount to a political earthquake. Opinion polls in recent days gave Macron a solid and slightly growing lead as analysts said Le Pen - despite her efforts to soften her image and tone down some of her National Rally party's policies - remained unpalatable for many.
But a surprise Le Pen victory cannot entirely be ruled out, given the high numbers of voters who were undecided or not sure if they would vote at all in the runoff presidential vote. With polls showing neither candidate able to count on enough committed supporters, much will depend on a cohort of voters who are weighing up anxiety about the implications of a far-right presidency against anger at Macron's record since his 2017 election.

Polls open at 8 a.m. (0600 GMT) and close at 8 p.m. (1800 GMT). Initial projections by pollsters are expected as soon as polls close.
"Each of them has a huge weakness," Bernard Sananes of pollster Elabe said. "Emmanuel Macron is considered arrogant by more than one in two voters and Marine Le Pen remains scary for half of them." Macron, 44 and the winner in the same matchup five years ago, has warned of "civil war" if Le Pen - whose policies include a ban on wearing Muslim headscarves in public - is elected, calling on democrats of all stripes to back him against the far-right.
Le Pen, 53, has focused her campaign on the rising cost of living in the world's seventh largest economy, which many French say has worsened with the surge in global energy prices. She has also zeroed in on Macron's abrasive leadership style, which she says shows an elitist contempt for ordinary people. "The question on Sunday is simple: Macron or France," she told a rally in the northern French town of Arras on Thursday.
Le Pen's message has resonated with many voters. "She is close to the people. She can really give purchasing power to the people, make the people smile, give the people oxygen," prison guard Erika Herbin, 43, said after the rally.
DISLIKE FOR MACRON Others, such Ghislaine Madalie, a hairdresser in Auxerre, in central France, strongly disagree.
Madalie said she would vote for Macron after backing the far-left Jean-Luc Melenchon in the first round on April 10, for fear of what a Le Pen presidency would be like. But she added that many of her clients would vote for the far-right candidate because they dislike Macron. "I find that disastrous because she is racist," Madalie, 36, whose family has roots in Morocco said of Le Pen. "I am anxious, for me and for my children."
Le Pen, who has also been criticised by Macron for her past admiration of Russian President Vladimir Putin, rejects accusations of racism. She said her plans to give priority to French citizens for social housing and jobs and scrap a number of welfare benefits for foreigners, would benefit all French, independently of their religion or origins. Jean-Daniel Levy, of Harris Interactive pollsters, said opinion surveys showed Le Pen was unlikely to win, because that would require huge shifts in voter intentions.
If Macron does win he will face a difficult second term, with none of the grace period that he enjoyed after his first victory, and protests likely over his plan to continue pro-business reforms, including raising the retirement age from 62 to 65. If she unseats him, Le Pen would seek to make radical changes to the country's domestic and international policies, and street protests could start immediately. Shockwaves would be felt across Europe and beyond.
Whoever wins, a first major challenge will be to win parliamentary elections in June to secure a workable majority to implement their programmes. (Additional reporting by Michel Rose and Leigh Thomas Writing by Ingrid Melander; Editing by Mark John and Frances Kerry)

There was a time when no year was complete without two pilgrimages to Washington for the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank — the “twins” that owe their existence to the Bretton Woods conference of 1944, the 80th anniversary of which we will soon be marking.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP)Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford considers himself a good communicator, but he’s found connecting with his younger teammates to be a bit tougher this spring.
He attributes it to the age gap. Now in his sixth season with the Nittany Lions and fourth as their starter, Clifford said he feels like an ”old man” at 23 since he’s surrounded by so many fresh-faced 18- and 19-year-olds.
”It’s a different generation,” Clifford said. ”It really is. When I ask, `Hey, what’s your number?’ They’re like, `Hey can I get your Snapchat?’ I’m like, `Is this how we communicate these days? Give me an email or something!’ It’s funny.”
Minus that, spring ball has been pretty smooth compared to what Clifford is accustomed to. For the first time in what seems like forever, he didn’t have to start a new year by learning a new playbook. Penn State has had four offensive coordinators and three quarterback coaches since Clifford arrived on campus in 2017.
Last fall, under first-year coordinator Mike Yurcich, the Nittany Lions finished 82nd in total offense and 90th in scoring. Oftentimes, Clifford throwing to now-departed receiver Jahan Dotson was Penn State’s only offensive outlet. The Nittany Lions finished 118th in rushing offense and ran for just 11 touchdowns.
Clifford got banged-up down the stretch but still completed 61% of his passes for 3,107 yards with 21 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Penn State finished 26th in passing offense.
That’s in the rearview mirror.
”If I go back to last year, I think it’s a distraction and I don’t think it really is pertinent to our mission to improve this spring,” Yurcich said. ”We’re going to execute better, we’re going to coach better, we’re going to play better.”
Clifford already feels the offense trending in that direction, even if the Nittany Lions only played with a handful of healthy offensive linemen this spring.
”I’ve always had to re-learn offense or learn a new one,” Clifford said. ”Now, being able to be in the same one back-to-back years, it just makes my job a lot easier and really be able to master the offense in the spring instead of learn it in the spring and then do it in the fall. We’re so much farther ahead now.”
Penn State coach James Franklin believes Clifford had his most productive spring practice. His practice numbers were the best they’ve been in nearly every category.
”You talk about his interception ratio, you talk about his completion percentage, you talk about his explosive play percentage, we track it all,” Franklin said. ”I thought he was tremendous.”
Clifford had most of the last week of practice off to give freshmen Drew Allar, Beau Pribulla and Christian Veilleux more chances to work.
The Nittany Lions concluded their spring with a scrimmage on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Clifford was sharp in the game’s 11-on-11 segment. He went 4 for 7 for 41 yards and tossed the game’s only touchdown pass – a tight swing to newcomer Mitchell Tinsley for 13 yards.
Tinsley, a fifth-year senior who transferred from Western Kentucky, even looked a bit Dotson-like on the play, wearing No. 5, snagging the ball in stride, and zipping through downfield blocks to score. He’s been rooming with Clifford and will join KeAndre Lambert-Smith, Parker Washington and a handful of tight ends as options for Clifford.
Clifford plans to hook up with all of them this summer and left the locker room on Saturday with an edict.
”I just told them,” Clifford said. ”We’ll have three weeks of player-led stuff. It’s mandatory for us. It’s not mandatory from the coaches. It’s not mandatory from the strength staff. No one is telling us to do anything. It’s mandatory for us because we know the talent we have and we know what we can do this year so guys are ready.”

BRENDA POWER
We’re hardwired not to share our homes
The Sunday Times
Everyone who has ever had friends or family to stay in their homes will have at least one cautionary tale of a house guest from hell. Even your nearest and dearest lodgers are like fish, as Benjamin Franklin famously said, in that they begin to stink after three days. But the house guest who is more of an acquaintance, say the distant American cousin who tracked you down on Facebook to announce they were coming to Ireland for a few days and would love to visit, is more like a fish left in an overheated room on a July day with the windows shut. No matter how sincere your invitation, you will pray for the day that they leave.

OLIVER HOLT: Tyson Fury may have prevailed in his fight against Dillian Whyte, but he lost the one fought over Daniel Kinahan... no amount of perfect uppercuts will smooth away questions about his relationship with the alleged crime boss
- Tyson Fury knocked out Dillian Whyte in the sixth round of their Wembley battle
- Fury boxed beautifully in the ring and eventually won the bout comprehensively
- However, his links to Daniel Kinahan overshadowed the build-up to the fight
- When quizzed on his relationship with the alleged crime boss Fury was defensive
- Once he is taken away from the sycophants who surround him his mask slips
- Fury is always safe in the ring, but when he steps outside it things are different
The richest fight in British boxing history began and ended with Tyson Fury singing American Pie, a song that is, in some ways, about mourning and loss. England’s great anti-hero came home, fought a brilliant fight and ended it with a blockbuster upper-cut and yet the abiding image was of the WBC world heavyweight champion standing in the ring at the end, a microphone in his hand, yelling ‘this’ll be the day that I die’.
Maybe that seemed apt because Fury hinted heavily again after he had dispatched Dillian Whyte in the sixth round of their clash in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium that this was the end of him as a fighter and that he wanted to honour belatedly a promise that he had made to his wife, Paris, that he would retire after the third of his trilogy fights with Deontay Wilder.
But perhaps it was also because this had also been, unavoidably, a fight that was taking place for boxing’s soul. Fury won comprehensively, brilliantly, beautifully in the ring. But outside the ring, his links with the alleged crime boss Daniel Kinahan, which had overshadowed the build-up to the contest with Whyte, continued to cast a shadow over the fight game.
Tyson Fury knocked out Dillian Whyte in the sixth round of their battle at Wembley Stadium
Fury and Wembley’s sell-out crowd were, of course, exultant in the wake of his emphatic dispatch of Whyte, who staggered to his feet after Fury’s right upper cut but was clearly in no state to continue. The praise rained down on Fury from near and far and the clamour for him to fight the winner of the planned rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua will redouble. He said he would resist it. 'Every good dog has its day,' he said. 'How much blood can you get out of a stone. I have given everything. Enough is enough.'
But if Fury won this fight, he lost the one he fought over Kinahan. He deserves plenty of plaudits for his mental health advocacy but it is hard to see how he can claim the right to be a people’s champion when he refuses to renounce his links to a man whom the American authorities are so keen to apprehend that they are offering a $5m bounty for information leading to his downfall. No amount of perfect upper cuts will smooth those questions away.
In the ring, he was in a different class to Whyte, who had earned his shot at the title but never looked as if he would get close to dethroning Fury. He discomforted him with some roughhouse tactics in the fourth round that made Fury’s corner so angry they sprayed water into the ring and yelled their protests but once Whyte had exhausted that ploy, Fury closed in on the win.
Fury boxed brilliantly and beautifully before delivering the conclusive blow in round six
But no amount of perfect uppercuts can smooth away questions on his links to Daniel Kinahan
Fury is a master in the ring, but how can he claim to be a people's champion amid those links?
Fury boxed the socks off his opponent. Whyte swung a couple of haymakers so wild that they were closer to landing in next week than felling Fury. Fury’s work, in contrast, was neat and precise and punishing. He is an immensely skilled fighter and, in boxing terms, it would be a shame if he quits now before he can test himself against Usyk or Joshua, or both, and establishes a record that would enable him to claim with some justification that he is one of the best of all time.
'I’m a legend in this game,' Fury insisted afterwards. 'I’m the best heavyweight there’s ever been. I can move like a middleweight. I can hit like a thunderstorm. I’ve got balls like King Kong and a mindset like the Wizard of Oz.' That claim to greatness lacks depth. Fury, 33, has one stand-out victory over Wladimir Klitschko on his 32-0-1 unbeaten record but apart from that he has the wins over Wilder, a limited fighter, and little else. And there are still too many question marks about him outside the ring to allow him to be embraced as a people’s champion.
The build-up to the fight had been overshadowed by Fury’s very public past association with Kinahan after the US authorities offered a $5m (£3.84m) reward for information on him and two others. The first big casualty of that development was the MTK Global boxing agency, co-founded by Kinahan, which folded last week. Fury quickly sought to distance himself from it.
The reality is that Fury has operated in smoke and mirrors for most of his career. He says he was the victim of a witch-hunt in 2015 but that is a reference to the adverse reaction that assailed him when he claimed in an interview with this newspaper that ‘there are only three things that need to be accomplished before the Devil comes home. One of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other is paedophilia.'
He has never apologised for remarks to this newspaper in 2015 about 'the devil coming home'
Fury has never apologised for those remarks, nor has he withdrawn them. At first, he chose to deny he had ever made them but when confronted with the transcript of his diatribe, he adopted a policy of refusing to address the issue. He has adopted the same policy, wisely perhaps, to subsequent controversies that have threatened to derail his career.
He has, for instance, managed successfully to airbrush out of history the fact that he served a two-year ban for failing a drugs test. The case against him began after he tested positive for the banned steroid nandrolone in 2015 and blamed it on eating uncastrated wild boar.
It became so bogged down in legal procedure and mounting costs that the ban was backdated. Fury served it retrospectively during a period when he was inactive anyway and then claimed, bizarrely, that he could move forward knowing that he would not be labelled a drug cheat. Only boxing’s complicity has allowed that prediction to come true.
He attempted the same trick with his relationship with Kinahan. Until recently, he was happy to trumpet how content he was working out of MTK’s base in Marbella and it was June 2020 when he posted a breathless and exultant video praising Kinahan’ to the skies and saying he had just got off a phone call to him confirming that a two-fight deal with Anthony Joshua had been arranged. ‘Big shout out to Dan,’ he enthused on the video.
Fury also tried to airbrush his two-year ban for failing a 2015 drug test from history, now he is trying to do the same with his links to Kinahan
He is safe in the ring, but once separated from sycophants who surround him Fury's mask slips
Fury and his team insist he cut ties with Kinahan in 2020 but he was also pictured by his side in Dubai two months ago. And the promoter Bob Arum claimed Kinahan had made millions from Fury’s last four fights. And Fury’s former trainer Ben Davison gave an interview when he credited Kinahan with rescuing Fury’s career and standing by him when Fury was struggling with depression in the wake of his 2015 world title win over Wladimir Klitschko.
Inadvertently or not, Fury played a significant role in legitimising Kinahan’s prominence in the world of boxing and making it a hostage to a crime boss. He has treated recent questions about his relationship with Kinahan as if they were affronts to his dignity and became so defensive about repeated questions from a Sky interviewer that he said he would never speak to the station again. Once he is taken out of the cosy coterie of sycophants who surround him, it does not take long for Fury’s mask to slip.
He is safe in the ring, though. That has always been his sanctuary and last night, as he dismantled Whyte step by step until he delivered the jolting coup de grace, it was again. The ring brings him certainty and adulation. When he steps outside it, things are different. Maybe that will come to inform his decision on retirement.

Fans tag Bundesliga 'Farmers League' as Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund to league title
Bayern Munich silenced rivals Borussia Dortmund 3-1 on Saturday evening to win the Bundesliga for the tenth time in a row, with fans describing the German top-flight as a ‘Farmers League’
Goals from Serge Gnabry, Robert Lewandowski, and Jamal Musiala handed the Bavarians victory as Marco Rose's men left Allianz Arena disappointed.
This triumph has now proven that the six-time European kings are the greatest football team in German football history having won 32 league titles.
Editors' Picks
Even at this, fans claim the German top-flight boast no quality and that has informed the Munich based outfit's dominance on the domestic scene.
Bayern have won 24 of their 31 Bundesliga games so far in 2021-22 season, and will pass their tally of 78 points from last season if they pick up four points from their remaining matches.
Little wonder some fans waxed lyrical about their latest achievement.
What do you make of Bayern Munich's dominance in Germany's topflight?

SO WHAT: If you purchased Cano Health 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 class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 17, 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) Cano Health overstated its due diligence efforts and expertise with respect to acquiring target businesses; (2) accordingly, Cano Health performed inadequate due diligence into whether the Company, post-Business Combination, could properly account for the timing of revenue recognition as prescribed by ASC 606, particularly with respect to Medicare risk adjustments; (3) as a result, Cano Health misstated its capitated revenue, direct patient expense, accounts receivable, net of unpaid service provider costs, and accounts payable and accrued expenses; (4) accordingly, Cano Health was at an increased risk of failing to timely file one or more of its periodic financial reports; and (5) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. 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.

SACKETS HARBOR — For opening day on May 14, Old McDonald’s Farm has arranged a special fundraiser: 100% of regular admission sales will be donated to the Sackets Harbor Fire Company and Ambulance Squad.
The department is particularly important to the farm and the family running it, as Assistant Chief Garrett W. Loomis died in the line of duty fighting a silo fire at North Harbor Dairy in April 2010.
As the business wrote in a Facebook post about opening day, Garrett was just shy of 26 years old when he was killed — a young hero. And now, the fire department has a new group of young heroes. Nearly a dozen teens and young adults make up the ambulance squad, all EMS-certified or working on their certifications.
In addition to farm activities, the fire department will be bringing a fire truck and ambulance for guests to check out on opening day.

The Old Dubbo Gaol is among more than 40 rich and diverse heritage projects that are finalists in the 28th annual National Trust Heritage awards. Nominated by Dubbo Regional Council, the stage one upgrades to the tourist attraction has been shortlisted in three categories including: conservation including interiors and objects; education and interpretation; and events, exhibitions and tours. The National Trust Heritage Awards is an annual celebration of outstanding practice in the field of heritage, awarding excellence in conservation, protection, and interpretation of Aboriginal, built, natural and cultural heritage over the past year. READ ALSO: Stage one of the upgrades to the Old Dubbo Gaol were officially unveiled in March last year, and included new interactive media displays, and an upgrade to the exhibition space to showcase the extensive collection of historical artefacts. The upgrade is included in a $1.39 million redevelopment - jointly funded by Dubbo Regional Council and the NSW government - to create a more modern experience for visitors. Chair of the National Trust Heritage Awards jury Matthew Devine was joined by industry experts including Barrina South, David Burdon, Dr Siobhn Lavelle, Kathryn Pitkin, Lynn Collins and Peter Salhani.

The Old Dubbo Gaol is among more than 40 rich and diverse heritage projects that are finalists in the 28th annual National Trust Heritage awards.
Nominated by Dubbo Regional Council, the stage one upgrades to the tourist attraction has been shortlisted in three categories including: conservation including interiors and objects; education and interpretation; and events, exhibitions and tours.
The National Trust Heritage Awards is an annual celebration of outstanding practice in the field of heritage, awarding excellence in conservation, protection, and interpretation of Aboriginal, built, natural and cultural heritage over the past year.
Stage one of the upgrades to the Old Dubbo Gaol were officially unveiled in March last year, and included new interactive media displays, and an upgrade to the exhibition space to showcase the extensive collection of historical artefacts.
The upgrade is included in a $1.39 million redevelopment - jointly funded by Dubbo Regional Council and the NSW government - to create a more modern experience for visitors.

'His death is a loud crescendo': Family, friends gather to remember former U.S. congressman, state Sen. Brad Ashford
"His death is a loud crescendo. Demanding that we listen and take to heart the lessons that he has taught us," his wife, Ann Ashford said.

"His death is a loud crescendo. Demanding that we listen and take to heart the lessons that he has taught us," his wife, Ann Ashford said.
Hundreds gathered to mourn former U.S. congressman and state Sen. Brad Ashford Saturday.
Ashford died this past Tuesday at the age of 72, months after sharing he was undergoing treatment for brain cancer.
A man of faith, a man of love and a man of change.
His wife Ann Ashford said, "His death is a loud crescendo. Demanding that we listen and take to heart the lessons that he has taught us."
Ashford's friends and family said he made that lesson clear, using just one word.
"Together. Because he knew and appreciated what it was like to be together. He knew that good things could come forth. By coming together," the Rev. Tom Fangman said.
The church was packed full of senators, mayors and countless lives Ashford touched.
His son, John, said it shows the magnitude of his presence across the state, political and personal.
"They believed in him and they believed in his ideas and they believed in what he did," John Ashford said.
His approachable nature, drew in people from all walks of life.
"It was almost like every person in Omaha was a part of his family," Fangman said.
Ann said he dedicated his life to serving the community, from passing meaningful laws, transforming veteran hospitals, to building a convention center.
"He needed to live every day making this world a better place," she said.
Working on projects up until his last month of his life.
John said he was "working on getting the Ernie Chambers memorial museum built. He was working on gang violence prevention, he was working on funding the ConnectGo."
It's a legacy, his wife said, will continue.
"For my remaining days. I will strive in every way to be like Brad. All my love always, save me a place," she said. | https://www.ketv.com/article/his-death-is-a-loud-crescendo-family-friends-gather-to-remember-former-us-congressman-state-sen-brad-ashford/39804577 | 2022-04-24T01:30:18Z | https://www.ketv.com/article/his-death-is-a-loud-crescendo-family-friends-gather-to-remember-former-us-congressman-state-sen-brad-ashford/39804577 | false | 1 |
Forgive me if i am asking something basic; but hours of googling, and combing docs have proved fruitless.
Am trying to implement Yarn workspaces. In the root directory of my project I have added the workspaces property to the json as such: {... "workspaces":[..., "applications/*", "applications/*/apps/*"]}
;
the applications and application/apps beign directories that contain packages to be.
I dont know that has any effect as adding this did not cause any issues with my project.
the entry point (index.jsx) contains an import of some dependencies that reside in another directory (a sibling to the applications
directory called platform
).
SO:
in the applications/my-app/index.jsx i have :
import {name-of-import} from 'platform/source/toexport'
This is working fine, as I said earlier… but adding a basic package.json file in the my-app
directory:
package.json :
{
"name": "my-app",
"version": "1.0.0",
"private":true,
"main":"index.jsx"
}
I started getting an error: ‘platform/source/toexport’ cannot be resolved…
removing the package.json fixes the error ( but then , of course workspaces cannot treat this as a module)
maybe this is a basic concept with workspaces, or maybe the package.json file is changing the reference point from which the app imports from the platform directory. But I just can find any documentation as to how to address this.
any insight would be greatly appreciated | https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/adding-package-json-to-directory-breaks-imports-jsx/385825 | 2022-04-24T01:36:17Z | https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/adding-package-json-to-directory-breaks-imports-jsx/385825 | false | 1 |

Rick Williams
Last updated 4/23/2022 at 5:06pm
In memory of a life so beautifully lived. Rick Williams went home to be with Jesus on April 4, 2022. Rick fought the good fight in every sense and in every aspect of his life and his faith. His message of hope will live on in all who encountered him.
Rick was born Eric Francis Williams on Nov. 17, 1955, in Sacramento, California. He moved to Fallbrook in 1969 with his family and attended Potter Junior High.
Rick is probably best known as the owner-operator of Fallbrook Window Washing Company, which his father started in 1972. He began working with his dad while still attending Fallbrook High School.
Rick was a true Renaissance Man who succeeded at everything he put his mind to.
He studied flight with instructors at Fallbrook Air Park and took classes at Palomar College. Early on he had a successful palm tree farm and learned to grow, propagate and care for succulents, cycads and exotic plants. Later, he created an aquaponics garden and grew vegetables for family and friends.
Rick loved creating art. He grew a gourd garden, dried the gourds and created award winning masterpieces. He created and sold gourd drums through his business, Nomad Drums. Rick became fascinated with Didgeridoos and learned about Australia and the Aborigine culture and history. He then began making his own. He studied and practiced circular breathing and learned to play the instruments.
He joined and trained extensively with Fallbrook Search and Rescue with his champion dog Jack at his side. He trained and worked for over 10 years with the De Luz Volunteer Fire Department, fighting some of the worst wildland fires Southern California has ever known.
Years before, when Rick brought home the puppy Jack, from an Avocado Festival, he realized he and the dog needed some training. Rick was a natural and became a trainer himself. He started his business, Rick Williams Personal Dog Training, and taught both in-home instruction and group classes at the Fallbrook Community Center.
Rick's interest in dog training extended into volunteer puppy raising for Canine Companions for Independence. Eventually, Rick became a contract trainer for CCI. He taught classes that encouraged puppy raisers to be confident leaders with their potential service dogs. As a family, we raised eight puppies for CCI and we have had four graduate from advanced training.
But the best part of Rick's amazing life is when he began hearing and studying the Word of God. We as a family began attending Calvary Chapel and it resonated with Rick's heart and mind. He referred to Calvary as "church unplugged." Rick loved to get up early to study and memorize the Bible. In March of this year, he completed writing a devotional series based on his in-depth study of "The Full Armor of God."
Rick was preceded in death by his son Eric Williams. He is survived by his wife Janet, son Ben, daughter Jamie, daughter-in-law Jennifer, grandson Rowan and granddaughter Emily.
Everyone who knew Rick loved him. He was selfless, generous and truly enjoyed serving others. He will be missed here, but we all have the promise that we will see him again in heaven.
A memorial service is planned on Saturday, April 30 at 1 p.m. at Calvary Chapel Servants Church, 1109 E. Fallbrook Street in Fallbrook. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Canine Companions for Independence, at https://canine.org/location/southwest/, or mail a donation to 124 Rancho del Oro Drive, Oceanside, CA 92057, or call 760-901-4300 or toll free 800-572-2275. | https://www.villagenews.com/story/2022/04/21/community/rick-williams/69620.html | 2022-04-24T01:47:32Z | https://www.villagenews.com/story/2022/04/21/community/rick-williams/69620.html | true | 1 |
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A task force comprised of Sacramento police, code enforcement and public works cleared out a homeless camp on city property in North Sacramento Thursday morning.
A fleet of tow trucks hauled away dozens of inoperable cars, RVs and travel trailers as city crews scooped up trash and personal belongings left behind.
The two-acre site at the corner of Arden Way and Colfax Street had been the source of frequent complaints from nearby business owners who said the homeless camp led to a rise in theft and vandalism in the area.
Julie Maestas blames problems at the homeless camp on drug users
Julie Maestas, one of the people driven from the camp, blamed the problems on drug users.
“All they are is nothing but drug users out here,” Maestas said. “They’re the ones who mess it up for everybody.”
The city recently paved a portion of the property that will soon become a formal safe parking site that will reportedly accommodate about 30 vehicles with stricter supervision. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2579510399389/populous-mcconnell-and-k2-pull-out-of-redding-civic-and-rodeo-grounds-deal | 2022-04-24T01:51:19Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2579510399389/populous-mcconnell-and-k2-pull-out-of-redding-civic-and-rodeo-grounds-deal | true | 11 |
TARKIO, Mo. — Great athletes for the Nodaway Valley track and field team seem to come in pairs and that has helped the Thunder build themselves into a team capable of completing for team titles in a sport that was struggling to get much participation at all just a couple years ago as a North Nodaway-West Nodaway co-op.
The Thunder — a co-op of West Nodaway and Nodaway-Holt — were short-handed on the girls’ side due to the FFA Convention, but the boys nearly pulled off an upset and won Friday’s Indian Relays in Tarkio. They finished second, just three points behind Worth County, and topped area powerhouses Stanberry and Mound City.
“We have a lot of boys that are pulling their weight making some gains throughout the season,” Nodaway Valley coach Kenneth Hamilton said. “… It is really great to see those boys pull through and continue to improve throughout the season.”
The fantastic sibling pairings for Nodaway Valley fueled that success. For senior Dawson Fast, he came out varsity track as a junior and found instant success — making it to state in the high jump last season — but also found a sport he could compete in with his little sister Reganne, who is a freshman this year.
“It is cool that I can see my little sister do the events that I did today and compete,” Dawson Fast said. “Good feeling for the whole family.”
Fast was one of the athletes leading the charge to the top of the standings for the Thunder. His championship in the high jump provided the most suspense of the day with Worth County’s Braxton Hightshoe and Fast missing their jumps and seemingly being eliminated while East Atchison’s Kaylin Merriweather was running the 100-meter dash.
Merriweather — third in Class 1 in the high jump — also missed on that height when he returned. Officials called Fast back as he was holding the blocks for his sister’s 200-meter dash.
“It was exciting to know that I had another chance to go out there and get first,” Fast said.
Hightshoe had previous misses so he was awarded third, but Merriwether and Fast had a jump-off for the title and Fast was able to win on the third attempt.
His big day didn’t end there as he was third in the 200-meter dash and fourth in the 400-meter dash. Fast was also part of the 4x400-meter relay team, which provided Thunder fans with a thrill to end the day.
“Dawson has improved a lot this season,” Hamilton said. “He has recently been working on the 200s and 400s. We’ve started focusing on the longer sprints at practice. … That has really helped him build up his endurance so he is able to keep up that high speed on the 400. He is just going to continue to improve on it.”
Teaming with John Fuhrman, Clay Hanson and Riley Blay, the Thunder tried the group in a relay together for the first time and came back to finish second.
“I was happy to see that everyone who wanted to do it were like, ‘Let’s do this, let’s go out and place,’ — we just did what we said we were going to do,” Fast said.
Fuhrman kept the group within striking distance on the first leg and Hanson narrowed the gap with his second leg to give Fast and Blay a chance.
Fast had the Thunder right on the heels of Mound City when he handed off to Blay and the sophomore was able to pass Mound City to take second and nearly caught Stanberry star Tyler Schwebach on the home stretch, but ran out of track before he could make the pass.
“I think if it was a 410-meter race, we could have had it,” Hamilton said. “It was a beautiful race.”
Blay was part of 38 team points for the Thunder as the Class 1 leader in the 800-, 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs held serve in all three. Blay’s 800-meter run was the second time he’s beaten defending state champion Schwebach in the event, this time by eight and a half seconds.
Blay is also part of the sibling tandems at Nodaway Valley. His brother Tyler won the cross-country and 3,200-meter state titles last season. Riley Blay has already kept the cross-country title in the family and will look to defend the 3,200-meter crown and add a couple more next month.
The other big individual scorer for the Thunder was senior James Herr. Herr won the javelin with a meet-record 46.78-meter toss into the stiff wind. He was fourth in the shot put and fifth in the discus.
“I was pretty happy with it,” Herr said.
The Fast family wasn’t the only family competing side-by side on Friday for the Thunder. Freshman Paige Hanson led the scoring efforts for the girls’ team while her older brother Clay was critical in the success of the boys’ relays.
Paige Hanson took home the title in the 400-meter dash with a personal-best 1:05.52. Reganne Fast medaled in sixth place in the 400 and the duo also ran the 200-meter dash together with Hanson taking third and Fast earning fourth.
Hanson added a third-place finish in the triple jump.
“Today, I think she improved a little bit and it was not great conditions for running a 400 today,” Hamilton said. “We are looking at getting her down to the 1:03 or 1:02 mark by the time that we roll into sectionals.”
Platte Valley
The Platte Valley girls were down to one competitor with the other four members of the team at the FFA Convention. Junior Jenna Mason represented the team well by taking second in the shot put with a personal-best 9.81 meters.
“I think it will do a lot for her confidence,” Platte Valley coach Amy Holtman said. “Her and Maggie (Collins), they work really well together. It seems like if one is having an off day, the other is throwing well.”
For the boys, the distance races proved strong with Platte Valley’s own sibling duo of Jacob and Logan Peery finishing fourth and sixth respectively in the 3,200-meter run.
Senior Micah Wolf went against strong fields in both the 800- and 1,600-meter runs and was able to finish fourth in both races.
“He had the goal of staying with some particular people in both those races and he did really well,” Holtman said.
Freshman Lealand Otto was sixth in the triple jump.
North Nodaway
Sophomore Saryn Brown led the Mustangs. Brown finished second in the high jump and fifth in the 300-meter hurdles.
Senior Hayleigh Vinzant added a sixth-place finish in the 100-meter dash and freshman Andrea Jenkins was sixth in the 800-meter run. | http://www.maryvilleforum.com/sports/sensational-siblings-power-thunder-at-indian-relays/article_b643a516-c352-11ec-aae2-abc7dcca138e.html | 2022-04-24T01:51:40Z | http://www.maryvilleforum.com/sports/sensational-siblings-power-thunder-at-indian-relays/article_b643a516-c352-11ec-aae2-abc7dcca138e.html | true | 1 |
Over the past few weeks, the Moline softball team has undergone a gradual transformation.
After struggling with injuries, inexperience and 10 losses in their first 12 games, the Maroons are returning to full strength and have hit a winning stride.
With Saturday's Western Big 6 sweep of Geneseo at Bob Seitz Field, Moline (6-10) has now reeled off four straight conference wins to improve to 6-3 in Big 6 play and is building momentum for next month's IHSA postseason.
In Saturday's opener, the Maroons saw the Lady Leafs (8-10, 5-5) erase a five-run deficit with five runs in the top of the sixth but responded by scoring in their half of the inning for a 6-5 victory. Moline then used a sixth-inning run to take the second game 1-0.
"I'm thinking we're heading in the right direction," said Moline coach Mark Gerlach. "We've won four in a row, and all against good teams — United Township, Sterling and now Geneseo. The kids are starting to believe, and we look totally different from the first two weeks of the season."
People are also reading…
Capping the day was a complete-game gem from freshman pitcher Kayley Reynolds, who had come on in the seventh inning to save the first-game win for senior starter Kayla Collins (4-2).
Reynolds (2-4) tossed a three-hitter and put out the fire after Geneseo loaded the bases in the top of the first inning.
"I was just living in the moment. It was a fun experience," said Reynolds. "I think now that we have almost all of our starters back, we can be really good. We're going to go places."
The Maroons broke through against Geneseo's Game 2 starter Katelyn Emerick with a two-out, sixth-inning rally. Emersyn Rasso doubled then scored on Natalie Jensen's single up the middle.
"I just tried to find my pitch. All I was worried about was getting (Rasso) in," said Jensen, playing in just her second game after being sidelined due to a possible torn labrum in her right shoulder.
"Kayley gave us a big win in the circle, and all of us were behind her, backing her up."
The loss spoiled a solid outing by the Leafs' Emerick (3-4), who allowed four hits and one walk with three strikeouts.
"Katelyn certainly pitched well enough to win," said Geneseo coach Bob Pettit. "Credit to Moline, they played good solid defense and kept us off our stride."
In the top of the seventh, Geneseo got the tying run on when Payton Stohl singled to lead off the inning. Sienna Frank then bunted Stohl over to second, but Stohl rounded the base too far and was thrown out.
That was a near-replay of the end of the opener, when Annabelle Veloz singled and took an extra base on Madi Scott's sacrifice bunt but was thrown out by Moline center fielder Brenna Ross at home to end the rally and the game.
"In both games, we had the tying run picked off on the bases," said Pettit. "It's good to be aggressive in those spots, and you can't fault the kids for playing hard, but we've got to make sure to use good sense."
In the first game, Moline appeared on its way to a win with little problem, gradually building a 5-0 lead after four innings.
An RBI double by Collins (3-for-4, four RBIs) got the Maroons on the board in the bottom of the first; she then stole home two innings later for a two-run Moline lead before the hosts scored three times in the bottom of the fourth, with Collins' two-run single the key blow.
Up to that point, Collins had shut Geneseo out, working out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the first inning and leaving a pair of Lady Leafs stranded in scoring position in the second.
However, the Leafs broke out in the top of the sixth. With the bases loaded, Taylor Krueger singled in two runs and then Stohl scored on a passed ball. Jaelyn Lambin doubled in Krueger, then scored on a Tara Bomleny single.
"They put a bit of pressure on us," Collins said, "and we had to come back at them."
Collins took care of that personally, belting a one-out single to score Ross with the tie-breaking run that nullified Geneseo's comeback bid.
"These were two good wins, and with four wins in a row, we've got a lot of momentum now," she said. "We're excited to play (Western Big 6 leader) Rock Island on Tuesday."
On the other hand, the Lady Leafs look to get back on track after losing five of their last six games.
"We've got to go back to the drawing board," said Pettit, "and get back to work." | https://qctimes.com/sports/high-school/softball/maroons-stay-hot-by-sweeping-leafs/article_53b6c246-8d8f-5ebf-9e91-d5323374332d.html | 2022-04-24T01:54:33Z | https://qctimes.com/sports/high-school/softball/maroons-stay-hot-by-sweeping-leafs/article_53b6c246-8d8f-5ebf-9e91-d5323374332d.html | false | 1 |

Orsolya Gaal’s alleged killer David Bonola hit NYC Chipotle before arrest: report
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The 44-year-old handyman and lover of Queens Mom Orsolya Gaal stopped at Chipotle just hours before his arrest.
David Bonola stopped by the Chipotle location on Austin Street in Queens on Wednesday April 20 at around 1:20 pm and was “friendly” to an employee who he asked for a water cup, according to the New York Post.
Hours later, Bonola was arrested after flagging down police officers and telling them that he was the man they were looking for.
Bonola has been charged with second-degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon and tampering with evidence in connection with the stabbing death of Gaal, a 51-year-old married mother of two. Police took him into custody late Wednesday and charged him hours later, after he made incriminating statements and confessed to the crime, officials have said.
ORSOLYA GAAL MURDER: HANDYMAN DAVID BONOLA HAD ‘INTIMATE’ RELATIONSHIP WITH SLAIN WOMAN, NYPD SAYS
The handyman had worked for Gaal and her family over the course of the past two years, the same length of time that police said he and the 51-year-old married mother began having an “intimate” relationship.
Law enforcement officials have said he went to Gaal’s family home in Forest Hills, Queens, early on a Saturday morning and stabbed her more than 55 times after a failed attempt to try to convince her to rekindle their romance.
Gaal was found murdered and then loaded into one of her son’s hockey bags on Saturday morning; investigators believe Bonola dragged the bag about seven-tenths of a mile from her Juno Street home and dumped it.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Two candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump won Michigan Republicans’ backing for attorney general and secretary of state at a convention Saturday, clearing their path to face Democratic incumbents in the fall.
The meeting of thousands of party delegates was a test of Trump’s clout in the party.
His allies — attorney general candidate Matthew DePerno, a lawyer, and secretary of state candidate Kristina Karamo, a community college instructor — emerged victorious from three-person fields at the endorsement event in downtown Grand Rapids.
The political newcomers support Trump’s false claims about his 2020 loss in the swing state. They are poised to be officially nominated at a second convention in August and challenge Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson in November.
Karamo, a community college instructor, won handily after securing two-thirds of the vote. DePerno, a lawyer, was just shy of the majority needed in an initial vote but won a runoff over former legislative leader Tom Leonard that was paused when the ballot order of races did not match what was shown on screens flanking the stage.
“I will not let you down,” Karamo said. “I’m fighting for the people of Michigan irrespective of political affiliation.”
Trump has said his preferred candidates would not let Michigan be “stolen” in the next presidential election. He lost the state by 154,000 votes to Joe Biden. Trump’s slate drew criticism within a wing of the GOP that viewed the candidates as unelectable in the fall and was frustrated that state party’s leaders openly backed them rather than be neutral.
DePerno’s rival for the nomination was Leonard, the party’s 2018 nominee whom Trump later nominated for U.S. attorney in western Michigan. State Rep. Ryan Berman, who finished third, urged his supporters to back Leonard in the runoff between Leonard and DePerno.
"I’m deeply humbled and encouraged by the profound support of so many Republican delegates throughout Michigan who put their confidence in me," said Leonard.
"In the months ahead, I'll continue working with fellow Republicans to elect conservative candidates up and down the ticket. I especially look forward to spending more time with my wife and our two wonderful children."
Bernadette Smith, one of the party’s vice chairs, said DePerno “is the only candidate who will fight for election integrity.” As DePerno’s supporters walked to the front of the hall to demonstrate their support, a video played of Trump touting DePerno and calling Leonard a “RINO” — or Republican in name only.
DePerno unsuccessfully sued after human error led rural Antrim County to erroneously show a local victory for Biden over Trump. It was quickly corrected but was used to spread misinformation about voting equipment.
DePerno was in “the field working when no one else was,” Smith said.
DePerno may face repercussions over the Antrim lawsuit.
He recently confirmed that the state’s Attorney Grievance Commission is investigating him. Nessel last year began a separate probe after a Republican-led legislative committee said people were making baseless allegations about the results in Antrim to raise money or publicity for their own ends. The panel’s report did not specify whom should be investigation, but the people mentioned in it include DePerno.
Republican U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman supported Leonard.
“Mark my words: Democrats are motivated and we will only win if we put our best candidates forward,” he said. “I truly believe he’s the only candidate in this race with integrity, grit, determination and the skills to not only win in November but to perform the duties of attorney general on day one.”
In a sign of how pervasive election falsehoods have become, the party used machines to tabulate votes but, in a change, also hand-counted the ballots in a compromise with activists.
Nominees for Michigan’s statewide races are chosen at party conventions except in gubernatorial and U.S. Senate primaries. The midterm election climate is expected to favor Republicans, but incumbent attorney generals and secretaries of state rarely lose.

New York, New York - Newsfile Corp. - April 23, 2022 - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. (NASDAQ: SDIG) pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and prospectus (collectively, the "Registration Statement") issued in connection with the Company's October 2021 initial public offering ("IPO") of the important June 13, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Stronghold Digital Mining securities pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement 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 Stronghold Digital Mining class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5313 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 13, 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, the IPO Registration Statement was materially false and misleading and omitted to state: (1) contracted suppliers, including MinerVa, were reasonably likely to miss anticipated delivery quantities and deadlines; (2) due to strong demand and pre-sold supply of mining equipment in the industry, Stronghold Digital Mining would experience difficulties obtaining miners outside of confirmed purchase orders; (3) as a result of the foregoing, there was a significant risk that Stronghold Digital Mining could not expand its mining capacity as expected; (4) as a result, Stronghold Digital Mining would likely experience significant losses; and (5) as a result, defendants' statements about Stronghold Digital Mining's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Stronghold Digital Mining class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5313 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.

Good morning, City fans! Here are your latest Leicester City headlines after yesterday's 0-0 draw at home to Aston Villa.
Leicester City ratings v Aston Villa: Fofana endures off-day as Dewsbury-Hall leads way again
Leicester City played out a drab goalless draw with Aston Villa as their Premier League campaign continues to peter out.
Once again, City enjoyed plenty of possession, but did very little with it, and they have now gone three games without winning, all against bottom-half sides. If it wasn't over before, City's push for a top-seven finish is definitely now finished.
The positives were the return of Jamie Vardy, the striker playing the final 20 minutes after recovering from a knee problem, and a more solid defensive performance, with no injury-time goal conceded. Here's how we scored the players.
Read Jordan Blackwell's player ratings here
Brendan Rodgers gives coy answer over Jamie Vardy as Roma fixture looms
Brendan Rodgers remains coy over the possibility of Jamie Vardy starting against Roma after the Leicester City striker made his comeback against Aston Villa.
Rodgers brought Vardy on the final 20 minutes of a bore draw at the King Power Stadium, City’s first goalless stalemate in the Premier League this season. His introduction gave an immediate lift to the crowd, but it did not see City fashion any late opportunities.
Vardy was making just his third appearance this calendar year, a knee injury keeping him out for the past month, and he has not played in any of the Europa Conference League fixtures up to now. Rodgers would not declare if he was ready to start in the semi-final on Thursday, urging caution over the 35-year-old.
Leicester City 'line up' £30m midfielder who has already shown Brendan Rodgers what he can do
Leicester City have been linked with a move for PSV midfielder Ibrahim Sangaré.
The 24-year-old has also reportedly been the subject of interest from Premier League rivals Aston Villa, but is already familiar to Leicester fans. He played against City in both legs of the Europa Conference League quarter-final tie earlier this month.
Now, according to The Sun, the midfielder could be the subject of a £30m bid from Leicester during the summer transfer window as manager Brendan Rodgers eyes a healthy refresh of his squad.
Leicester City are challenging Manchester United, Tottenham and top six in 'important' table
Leicester City may have been unable to get the better of Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium but the point gained brought up a key milestone for the club.
City have now won 28 points at home this season, which matches their tally from the whole of the last campaign. That’s despite battling in mid-table this term, compared to their challenge of the upper echelons last year.
Brendan Rodgers' side have three games to go to surpass that total, and they are fixtures from which they should earn a decent amount of points. They take on bottom-half sides in Everton, Norwich, and Southampton at the King Power Stadium before the season concludes. | https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-villa-rodgers-vardy-6990905 | 2022-04-24T03:22:20Z | https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-villa-rodgers-vardy-6990905 | true | 1 |

Almost two months after Matthew Rondo was arrested following an alleged altercation with Shanna Moakler, she shares what she learned.
“I am a mother, and I want my children, and especially my daughters, to see in me a strong woman who has a sense of self-worth and self-respect, and I want my son to see it too.”
Moakler has been dating the 29-year-old model since 2020. Rondo made headlines in February when she shared a disturbing video via the former Bridalplasty host’s Instagram account, claiming she was fixated on ex-husband Travis Barker and was sleeping in another man’s house. the house the night before. (The former pageant queen was married to drummer Blink-182, 46, from 2004 to 2008, and they have a son, Landon, 18, and a daughter, Alabama, 16. She is also the mother of 23-year-old Atiana De La Hoya, with whom she shares with ex Oscar De La Hoya.)
“So it’s over, K? Oh my God, damn it, so sign me up now because it’s done,” the Murder Party actor said in a recently deleted Instagram video. “I’m fucked up. I’m never going to talk to that fucking specimen of a fucking person again. The truth is, I found out she was talking to other damn people the whole time we were in a relationship.”
Although Moakler has since denied Rondo’s accusations, he was arrested for domestic violence shortly after the video was posted. According to a police report obtained by Us, Rondo grabbed the former pageant queen by the hair, threw a chair at her and urinated on her, leaving visible wounds. He spent six hours in jail before being released and then kicked out of Moakler’s house. The Meet the Barkers alum later received a week-long emergency protective order.
The couple’s relationship status made headlines in March after they were spotted together in Rhode Island.
“I’m free. Matthew and I are not together, but we remain cordial. I think he and I love each other very much,” the Rhode Island native told us on Friday. “I love him very, very much. He’s someone I’ve been with for two years, and, you know, obviously we had a very public incident that put us both in an awkward position. None of us are proud of it.”
Moakler acknowledged that each of them received help after the incident, admitting that Rondo is “not a monster” but rather struggles with attention. However, she noted that at the moment she “doesn’t even think” about a potential romantic reunion.
“I don’t think it’s a pattern we’d ever want to repeat,” she told Us. “You can’t just turn off your feelings and emotions. …I hope that one day we can look back and say, “OK, wow, we learned something from this and were able to get better.”
She continued, “I’m just personally working on myself to become the best version of myself, and I think dating for me is just postponed and obviously focused on my career and just on an emotional level.”
Although the mother of three is not ready to return to the dating game yet, she has been focused on hosting her upcoming contests. Moakler is the director and producer of the Miss Nevada USA and Miss Utah USA contests, which take place on May 14-15 and May 27-28, respectively.
“I am very, very proud of this, because over the past decade I have worked with thousands and thousands of young women,” she said of her new role, noting that all participants will be wearing Miraclesuit, Magicsuit and Skinny Dippers swimwear. . “I’ve had the opportunity to really change their lives and bring these young girls into their communities and do community service, and they’re getting all these incredible opportunities.” | https://www.somagnews.com/shanna-moakler-can-understand-why-people-were-provoked-by-her-relationship-drama-with-matthew-rondo/ | 2022-04-24T03:34:55Z | https://www.somagnews.com/shanna-moakler-can-understand-why-people-were-provoked-by-her-relationship-drama-with-matthew-rondo/ | true | 2 |

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Victor Hedman and Nikita Kucherov scored first-period power-play goals, and the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Nashville Predators 6-2 on Saturday night.
Hedman became only the second defenseman in franchise history to score 20 goals in a season, joining Dan Boyle, who did it in 2006-07.
“I just aimed for the stars and hit it as hard as I could,” Hedman said of his blast from the high slot.
Kucherov finished with a goal and two assists, Steve Stamkos had a goal and two assists, and Anthony Cirelli and Ross Colton also scored for the Lightning. Brian Elliott made 19 saves.
“Balanced scoring — it’s pivotal and if you want to go anywhere in the playoffs you need more than a couple of guys scoring,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. “I look at the guys that have 20 or more (goals) or close to 20, and it’s a big reason for our success.”
The two-time defending Stanley Cup champs have tightened up their defense in their past two games, both wins. Combined, the Lightning outscored the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Predators 14-3 and didn't allow an even-strength goal.
Cooper said he’s happy to see his team playing better defense as the playoffs approach.
“If we are going to do anything, we have to look after our own end,” he said. “I love our (goaltending) tandem, but I don’t care who’s in net. If you’re not defending, they can only do so much.”
Tampa Bay is three points ahead of the Boston Bruins in the race for third place in the Atlantic Division. The Bruins defeated the New York Rangers 3-1 earlier Saturday.
Nashville is tied with Dallas for the two wild-card spots in the Western Conference due to the Predators' loss and the Stars' 3-2 win against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. Both teams have 93 points, though the Predators have a game in hand. The Vegas Golden Knights are four points behind Nashville and Dallas.
Nashville defensemen Roman Josi and Alexander Carrier scored power-play goals. Josi became the first NHL defenseman to reach the 90-point mark since Boston’s Ray Bourque (91 in 1993-94).
“It’s definitely not on my mind tonight,” Josi said of the milestone. “We’re in a playoff hunt and it was a disappointing night for us. Sometime I’ll look back at this and be happy, but tonight was a disappointment with the way it ended and the way we played.”
Saros allowed six goals on 30 shots before being replaced by David Rittich after Colton and Pat Maroon scored 31 seconds apart early in the third period. Rittich made eight saves.
The first period was full of goals. Hedman beat Nashville goalie Juuse Saros just 1:51 into the game, and Cirelli beat Saros on a breakaway at 10:59 to make it 2-0.
Josi’s goal, his 21st of the season, came with about three minutes left and cut the margin to 2-1. But Kucherov made it 3-1 when he beat Saros with a wrist shot with 20 seconds remaining for his 21st goal. Kucherov has five-game point streak and goal streak.
Carrier’s third of the season at 10:42 of the second period made it 3-2, but Stamkos one-timed a feed from Kucherov past Saros at with six minutes left for a 4-2 lead.
Nashville coach John Hynes said Stamkos’ goal, his 35th of the season, really hurt.
“That was a really nice play,” he said. “It was a turnover, and when you give those guys, with that skill level, a chance against an unorganized defense — they made a play and that was a big-time goal."
Colton deflected Hedman’s shot into the net at 1:37 of the third period, and Maroon celebrated his 34th birthday by scoring at 2:08.
SPECIAL THREADS
The Predators and Lightning, who wore customized jerseys when they met Feb. 26 in the NHL Stadium Series at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, wore those same uniforms Saturday.
The Lightning are 9-2-0 in their last 11 games against Nashville.
GOODBYE, CRISPY
The Lightning honored longtime Predators broadcaster Terry Crisp, who was Tampa Bay’s coach when the franchise entered the NHL in 1992 and is retiring after this season.
Crisp coached the first 391 games in Lightning history until he was fired early in the 1997-98 season. He has covered the Predators as a TV analyst and studio host since they entered the NHL in 1998.

Nakuul Mehta on playing filmmaker in Never Kiss Your Best Friend 2: “I have a closet writer and director within me”
Nakuul Mehta, Anya Singh, Karan Wahi and Sarah Jane Dias starrer Never Kiss Your Best Friend season 2 will premier on April 29 on Zee5.
The handsome of the small screen Nakuul Mehta, who won our hearts with his act in Never Kiss Your Best Friend, is coming back as the young filmmaker Sumer Singh Dhillon for the second season of the show. The trailer of NKYBF 2 was recently released by the makers and it garnered love and praises from the audience.
Ahead of the release of Never Kiss Your Best Friend season 2, Nakuul spoke about his young and dynamic character Sumer, on-screen and off-screen chemistry with Anya Singh and Sarah Jane Dias and many more in an exclusive conversation with Firstpost. Excerpts:
Was it easy for you to get back into the character of Sumer after a long gap?
To be honest, I was really looking forward to playing Sumer again in the second season, it's a show which I have deeply enjoyed. You know especially when you get to play characters that are much younger to you and then you're in your thirties you realize that it's so amazing to reclaim your early twenties and you know feel that same energy and as actors we get a chance to do it.
So, when season two came back post-pandemic I was super excited But of course, there was a physical limitation that I was shooting a daily which is on television and also managing time for this. So the challenge between actually Bade Achhe (Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2) is a mature love story whereas Never Kiss (Never Kiss Your Best Friend 2) is a very young story of friendship and love. The challenge was that I was actually shooting ten days in Bombay, ten days in London, taking a flight back and then 10 days here, and playing to absolutely diverse characters with different sort of age brackets. So, physically and I think more than emotionally I think because emotionally I already had a feel of Sumer. So, physically it was hard because they are in different time zones there are playing different characters, that was challenging for having said that it's a role, which I enjoy so much that you know it give me that much-needed breather from you know doing a drama like Bade Achhe on television.
How did you switch off and switch on characters since you were shooting for Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2 and NKYBF 2 simultaneously?
It's a very good question because you know I had no days off between November and January. I was shooting every day of my life between Bade Ache and Never Kiss and how I would switch is once I finished, say once I was ready to fly to London for Never Kiss ka pehle schedule, I decided to get into my clothes of Never Kiss when I took the flight I said I'm going to dress like the young Sumer would, I would wear the perfume he would wear, I would wear the locket which you see if you notice in the trailer is wearing throughout and I would just be that guy right. So, from my nine-hour flight to London by the time I reached there, it was a guy with different energy and I think that really helped me get in and out otherwise because you think television can get so exhausting that sometimes you forget you know the divide between real and reel gets a little hard but with Never Kiss I just consciously said, hey I'm going to be on the set, I'm going to lead and forget the energies of what I play Ram Kapoor of Bade Achhe and mature love story and I'm going to be this young kid and I think hanging out and acting with Anya really helps because she is that age group right. She is in her twenties and I am in my thirties, so her energy is infectious and she is younger and I let that sort of I let myself sort of absorb that really helps me switching on, switching off.
Your chemistry with Sarah and Anya is simply amazing. Please tell me something about that
So with Anya of course, it was. Anya and me are really good friends. Now after our first season, we kept in touch throughout the pandemic and she's someone I've really get along well with. With Sarah, she was someone I've never worked with, we were both new to each other's world but I think when you put two professional artists together who are confident of their craft and the script gives them ample opportunity. I think then the relationship just flows and with me and Sarah, I think it is a very unusual or unconventional casting in that sense. But I think because it was so unconventional and we are so different from each other when we started filming our first sequence we were like wow this is this doesn't feel like we've never worked together. And again with Sarah, I had a wonderful time she is very different from who I am. But she's someone who's very inspirational. I think her attitude towards life in general, her discipline with health, with yoga, with eating, is so aspirational that I would keep telling her, listen whatever you're ordering for yourself, order one for me because you order it, it'll be healthy if Anya orders it, it's going to be junk. So Sarah was like the sane voice on set, Anya was the voice of madness. So, I had like the best of both.
What was your wife's reaction after watching the trailer?
Oh, she loved it, she absolutely loved it. In fact, Jankee had made it to the last one week of the shooting of memories for the first season. But you know because now we have a very young child and pandemic was going on that's why she couldn't come. But she's also very attached to the entire team, I mean she knows everyone, Anya is her very close friend she is really looking forward. When she saw it, she said this looks like so much fun and iska third season toh banega he banega.
Since you are playing a director in the show, did you observe any filmmaker for your character?
I'll be honest yeah, you know it is my own imagination because I feel all of us at some point have had want to create things, wanting to make like I inside me have a closet writer and director. So, I just had to tap into that. I feel, I always think like a director and a writer. So, I had to think like that and about playing someone who's much younger to myself, I had to just go back a few years into my twenties and see what my energy was and how I felt about life, how life falls unburdened how life is without too many stresses. I kind of like the world. The time I spent in London, I literally lived like that. When you see me if you come to my sets of Bade Achhe, you'll see a very different Nakuul, if you ever meet me on sets of Never Kiss, it's a very different Nakuul. So, yeah I tap to like my own imagination and own sort of past experiences to play these characters.

Ukraine’s Reconstruction To Require Sums ‘Beyond Imagination,’ Says EIB Head
By EurActiv
By Silvia Ellena
(EurActiv) — With the EU’s plan for Ukraine’s recovery in the making, the president of the European Investment Bank (EIB) Werner Hoyer warned that the country’s reconstruction will require huge investments from both public budgets and private capital.
“If we will finally get the chance to rebuild Ukraine, then we are talking about sums which are beyond imagination for the time being,” Hoyer said during an event organised by the Atlantic Council on Thursday (21 April).
The EIB president said while Western governments have been “generous” in their provision of direct budget support to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion in February, in the long term, reconstruction will require huge investments.
A recent study by the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) estimates the cost of the war between €200 and €500 billion.
On Monday Ukraine’s infrastructure minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said the Russian invasion has caused an estimated $100 billion worth of infrastructure damages alone.
Since the invasion, more than 300 bridges on national roads have been destroyed or damaged and dozens of railway bridges have been blown up, the minister said, calling for more international financial support to rebuild the country’s infrastructure.
In March, the EIB approved a €668 million financial package to help Ukraine and the neighbouring countries cope with war-related damages.
However, Hoyer said “much more will have to be done” going forward.
In his view, private capital will also be critical when support for Ukraine moves from direct funds to project financing, similarly to what happens with climate goals.
“This is where an institution like ours comes in, or other multilateral development banks, who can go to the capital markets and mobilise private capital, convince people in the markets, and investors that they’re doing something serious and good.”
EU support for Ukraine
While the priority remains immediate support to address the humanitarian crisis and stop the aggression, the EU has already started working on a post-war reconstruction plan.
“The EU is committed to providing strong support for a democratic Ukraine once the invasion has stopped,” a Commission spokesperson told EURACTIV.
The EU executive is currently setting up a Ukraine Solidarity Trust Fund for the reconstruction of Ukraine, which was agreed by member states at the 24-25 March EU Council.
While discussions on the fund are ongoing, it is still “premature” to establish the funding needs for the country, the spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, the EU’s Economic and Investment plan for the Eastern Partners should also mobilise investments of up to €6.5 billion to support the country’s recovery.
According to Hoyer, Ukrainians will use the funds not only to restore what has been destroyed by the war, but to “build a strong economy.”
“When they rebuild, they will make true what some people only have in the headlines ‘rebuild better’,” he said.
“Overdue changes”
The ongoing crisis can also be a lever for “overdue changes” in the rest of Europe, added Hoyer, who sees the war as an opportunity for the continent to push forward the transition towards sustainability and energy independence.
“We have been blind not to see this energy dependency of most of the European nations from Russia and other suppliers.”
As part of the sanction regime against Putin’s country, the Commission plans to drastically reduce dependency on Russian fossil fuels in the coming months.
As a first step, on Thursday the EU executive and the International Energy Agency presented a 9-step plan to guide citizens to decrease energy consumption.
However, cutting reliance on Russian energy will also require structural changes, including new technologies.
Hoyer said the EIB and other multilateral development banks can play a crucial role in providing the necessary investment to introduce new energy sources in the short term, urging “not to waste the next six, eight months” before starting the transition. | https://www.eurasiareview.com/24042022-ukraines-reconstruction-to-require-sums-beyond-imagination-says-eib-head/ | 2022-04-24T03:47:11Z | https://www.eurasiareview.com/24042022-ukraines-reconstruction-to-require-sums-beyond-imagination-says-eib-head/ | false | 1 |

Lightning manhandle Predators, 6-2
Article content
Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov produced three-point games Saturday night as the Tampa Bay Lightning handled the visiting Nashville Predators in a 6-2 victory.
The Lightning captain and Kucherov each posted a goal and two assists, with Kucherov finding the net for the fifth straight game.
Victor Hedman had a marker and a helper, and Anthony Cirelli, Ross Colton and Pat Maroon tallied for the Lightning (48-22-8, 104 points). Backup goalie Brian Elliott stopped 19 shots.

By finishing its season-long five-game homestand (4-1-0) triumphantly, Tampa Bay won for the ninth time in the past 11 games (9-2-0) against the Western Conference club.
The Predators (44-29-5, 93 points) got goals from defensemen Roman Josi and Alexandre Carrier. Juuse Saros surrendered all six goals on 30 shots before being replaced early in the third period by David Rittich, who made nine saves.
In their first meeting since the Lightning’s 3-2 win in the Stadium Series match outside in Nashville on Feb. 26, Tampa Bay got into the rematch with an early lead.
With Hedman at the point, the big defenseman blasted home a tally 1:51 into the first period. His 20th goal extended the Swedish blueliner’s career high.

After Mikhail Sergachev’s steal in the neutral zone and pass to Cirelli to start a break, the speedy forward dashed in and wristed his 17th goal at 10:59 for a 2-0 lead.
Josi notched his 21st goal — extending the defenseman’s career-high to 90 points — on Nashville’s second power play, but Kucherov equalized with his 21st in the first period’s closing seconds for a 3-1 lead.
On its fourth power play, another Nashville defenseman found the net when Carrier scored his third goal by finishing a sharp pass from Philip Tomasino at 10:42.
However, Stamkos answered just as Kucherov did to regain the two-goal lead, blistering his 35th from just below the left circle at 13:58.
Early in the third, Colton and Maroon potted goals 31 seconds apart for the only tallies of the frame.

First, the U.S. Army All-Star Bowl was going to return in a new form; now, fans will have to wait to see it come back at all.
With two days of practice in the books, the army and Be Bold Marketing LLC announced Friday afternoon on social media that the game would be canceled. Organizers said that they struggled to obtain equipment due to supply-chain issues, and that so many athletes dropped out over the prior three weeks that rosters became dangerously small.
"We can simply not put our participants in such a compromising position," the press release reads.
The event, featuring the best senior players and cheerleaders in Kern County high school football, was slated to take place this coming Friday night after a two-year absence due to the pandemic. Now, after being contested 18 times prior to 2020, and highlighting eventual pro stars like West's Ryan Mathews and Anthony Orange, the game faces an uncertain future.
The All-Star Bowl has traditionally touted its status as the only arena-format all-star football game and been played in Mechanics Bank Arena, but this was going to be its first year at Bakersfield College's Memorial Stadium.
That decision was announced on Feb. 15, after players were drafted on Jan. 17.
The gold team would have been coached by Frontier's Chris Bandy, while the black team was led for the first time by Nathan Munson of All Out Flag Football. Initial rosters featured BVarsity All-Area Defensive Player of the Year Logan Bowers in gold and Co-Offensive Player of the Year Evan Peaker in black.
Cheerleaders were to be coordinated by Gwyneth Rosander, who was a cheerleader herself the last time the event took place in 2019.
Plenty of participants from that game will be weeks away from graduating college this time next year, when the expected 2023 All-Star Bowl rolls around. | https://www.bakersfield.com/sports/event-organizers-announce-cancellation-of-2022-all-star-bowl/article_6f391350-c31f-11ec-a18f-5f93f0be6162.html | 2022-04-24T03:58:05Z | https://www.bakersfield.com/sports/event-organizers-announce-cancellation-of-2022-all-star-bowl/article_6f391350-c31f-11ec-a18f-5f93f0be6162.html | true | 1 |
Nasa Hataoka carried over her strong finish from Round 2 and completed a 4-under-par 67 on Saturday to vault to a four-shot lead after three rounds of the LA Open.
Hataoka, of Japan, birdied her final three holes on Friday and finished Saturday's round with five birdies and just one bogey. Her second-round co-leader, South Korea's Jin Young Ko, finished the day at 1-over 72 after a pair of disastrous holes near the end of her round at Wilshire Country Club.
Hataoka hit 16 of 18 greens in regulation in pursuit of her sixth LPGA Tour win.
"So during yesterday's round, something clicked inside me, and I was able to bring that to today's round, too," Hataoka said. "I think that really helped me today. ... All of my birdies except (No. 9), they were inside 15 feet, so I feel like I was putting really good."
Ko played her first 15 holes bogey-free at 3 under but went bogey/quadruple bogey on Nos. 16 and 17. She managed a birdie on 18 and is among three golfers tied at 6 under. The others are countrywomen Inbee Park (68) and Haeji Kang (69).
Despite the rough few holes, Ko was upbeat about her round after a birdie on 18.
"I thought if I make par (on 18) still good, but I make birdie on last hole. Especially last hole is huge for next round, for the prepare. So I played not bad; just 17 was big mistake," she said.
Australia's Hannah Green, who began the day alone in second place, fired a 2-under 69 to remain in second, four shots behind Hataoka.
Among three golfers tied for sixth at 4 under is Lilia Vu, who fired a 66, highlighted by three birdies in her first four holes and an eagle on No. 13.
"I mean, I usually get off to a slow start, and then my best rounds come from starting really early in the round. I mean, I saw the opportunities and took advantage of it, I guess," said Vu.
She is tied with South Korea's Chella Choi, who shot 67 after back-to-back 71s, and Australia's Minjee Lee, whose roller coaster round included four birdies, two bogeys and one double-bogey. Choi's round included seven birdies and three bogeys.

Great moments in PC gaming are bite-sized celebrations of some of our favorite gaming memories.
I didn't expect the almost painful mix of dread and excitement I felt when it came time to hit the power button on my newly built PC. It was my first time building one from scratch and I'd gone all out with absolutely everything—the only bits that remained of my old gaming rig were a couple of SSDs that were too new to replace. I'd even got an M.2 SSD for my boot drive, which meant having to reinstall Windows as well.
I've enjoyed messing around with the innards of PCs for years. From the first time I installed a CD drive, to switching out old HDDs and fiddling around with the tiny jumpers that somehow magically determined its order in the boot sequence. I'd changed cases a few years ago, but it wasn't until recently that I attempted to build a PC from scratch.
My trusty GTX 970 saw me through a lot and it probably owes its lifespan to the fact I was mostly playing World of Warcraft. I'd certainly thought about upgrading several times over the years, but it felt hard to justify when I spent most of my time in the relatively undemanding Azeroth. What prompted me to build a new PC was when it started seriously struggling with the number of Chrome tabs I constantly have open for work.
I opted for a big case, not only because it looked cool, but so I would have more room to work in. In truth, it's probably a little over the top for what it's housing but I'd rather that than make things even more difficult for myself with restricted space. Everything went according to plan, though there was a moment where I wanted to hurl the entire thing out of the window: when I couldn't get the tiny case cables to attach to the right place on the motherboard.
Other than that, it was surprisingly smooth sailing—certainly not the absolute swear-fest I'd envisioned. So with the last cable connected and everything double-checked, the time had come for either glory or a hideously expensive mistake. I pressed the power button, bracing as if for some kind of explosion. Fans started whirring, the RGB kicked in, but there was no Windows installation screen.
I tried the thumb drive in the other USB port and tried again. Still nothing. As I became increasingly frantic and started to wonder—not for the first time—why the hell I thought I could do this, I spotted something on the desk next to my keyboard: the USB stick. Yes, it was then that I realised I'd been trying to boot my new PC with a bluetooth adaptor. In my defence, it is a similar shape and size to a thumb drive.
After correcting my mistake, I installed Windows without a hitch and I don't think anything could've dented the pride I felt for days afterwards. Like playing a Souls game, the feeling of achievement far outweighs the frustration (or vague terror) it takes to accomplish. The one slight hiccup was a user error rather than something hardware-related so technically, my first ever PC build worked on the first try. | https://www.pcgamer.com/au/great-moments-in-pc-gaming-building-a-new-pc-and-having-it-work-on-the-first-try/ | 2022-04-24T04:09:00Z | https://www.pcgamer.com/au/great-moments-in-pc-gaming-building-a-new-pc-and-having-it-work-on-the-first-try/ | true | 3 |

The criminal punishment system is killing my community and taking my son with it. Recent Fox News headlines assert that liberation work is harmful to Black people. The coverage feeds into an old racist trope that Black people are incapable of knowing how to care for themselves and that we need white people to tell us what works best for us.
Lost in those headlines are voices like mine, voices of survivors calling for a new approach to public safety that heals people instead of punishing them.
Over the last several months, I’ve had trouble sleeping, considering the violence I experienced from someone I raised. My son had a mental breakdown and attacked me in ways I’d never imagined. He was angry, confused, and full of rage. This was a version of my son that incarceration created. The “justice system” didn’t heal my son. It harmed him and my family.
The Freedom Community Center, one of the 150 Black-led organizations that make up the Movement for Black Lives, supported me and my son in healing and reconciliation. They also taught me a new term I’d never heard before—transformative justice.
Transformative justice is a framework that addresses harm, violence, and abuse without the legal system, which has a history of being harmful, violent, and abusive. Through this framework, my son demonstrated that he was sorry by committing to repair the harm he’d done to me that night. As a survivor of his violence, seeing him change his life is justice to me.
Black women are often assigned the collective task of loving those who harm us, and we understand that the people responsible for harming us need more than what incarceration could ever provide.
As a culture, we’ve been taught by politicians, cops and status quo prosecutors that justice for survivors means punishment, revenge, and cages. This so-called “justice” has taken shape in the form of mass incarceration that perpetuates a cycle of harm and violence that repeats itself and spreads throughout our communities for generations. Based on this lie, these officials claim that policing is the solution to keep us safe in America. I challenge that notion, given that less than half of survivors of violence call the police in the first place.
I’ve struggled with my son’s mental health nearly his whole life, and schools functioned almost identical to the legal system. Schools punished and isolated him instead of asking and answering the appropriate questions to ensure my son was safe and healthy. I just wanted them to provide the proper education my son deserves and for them to diagnose his mental struggles properly. They had evaluated him, so they knew he had strengths, but they never fully recognized these.
Instead, they wrote him off. Things worsened in high school, where this trend continued. After years of treating my son’s mental illness as a child, I discovered that he’d been misdiagnosed. His symptoms only intensified as he went from juvenile detention centers to jail and finally to prison. The school-to-prison pipeline is real.
Different researchers have noted that incarceration can trigger and worsen symptoms of mental illness—and those effects can last long after someone leaves the prison gates. I felt this deep in my bones every single time my son emerged from an encounter with the prison system.
Incarceration pushed my son further down a path that I wouldn’t wish on anyone: escalating violence against the people he loves most. My son used to talk about going to college to be a psychiatrist so he could find other ways to help people with challenges like his to heal outside of medications and learn how to naturally deal with their frustrations. He doesn’t talk like that anymore. I feel like he’s lost a passion for life. It makes me angry, and I’m not hiding anymore.
The Freedom Community Center showed me that there are strategies we can explore and dream of outside of caging the ones we love—strategies that are rooted in healing, reconciliation, and community power. FCC stood beside me and advocated for my son’s release.
They had a job and housing already set up for him. They offered counseling to my entire family, including my son. They meet with my son weekly and discuss hope. They provided home improvement so I could feel safe in my home.
My son told me, “I don’t just wanna say I’m sorry. I wanna show you.” This is justice: healing, transformation, and power. I want that for all Black people.
Black people need jobs. We need education that’s going to develop our children. We don’t need white teachers to tell our children that they’re dumb or stupid. We need good housing that’s not gonna make us sick. We need good food in our stores. There’s so much we need for babies and our families to sustain full lives in these broken communities where we are expected to thrive. How can we thrive when we’re given crumbs?
Transformative justice shows us a world outside of policing and the criminal legal system, and it presents a new mechanism to invest into our communities meaningfully. It’s a world full of healing, community, connection, and power. It’s a strategy to address violence, abuse, and harm without using violent, abusive, and harmful systems.
I know another world is possible for survivors, for our community. Networks like the Movement for Black Lives and organizations like the Freedom Community Center taught me that. Survivors can speak for themselves if we choose to listen without the filter of white supremacy. We need more healing for our communities, and that means more models like the Freedom Community Center.
My momma always taught me that when you stop learning, you’re dead. I have to share what I learned. I won’t let my community die.

This past week, Matt Hardy responded to a fan in regards to him and brother Jeff competing on an episode of AEW Dark: Elevation. Matt shot down the idea that him and his brother were being “demoted” by appearing on Dark.
During his podcast, Booker T was asked about if established stars such as Jeff Hardy and Paul Wight appearing on AEW Dark could be seen as a demotion:
“Hell yeah, it’s a demotion. I know that’s going to get picked up, but hell yeah it’s a demotion. Damnit, I’m not working on Dark. For me, working on Dark, which is a show that is only on the internet should be for the young guys coming up. I didn’t come from the big show, no pun intended, which I am talking about WWE, I didn’t come from WWE to come to AEW to work Dark. I don’t even know what Dark is, I don’t know who’s on it, I don’t know when it’s aired or anything like that. So, for me to be on Dark, it would make me feel a certain way, me personally.”
“If Vince [McMahon] came to me and said, ‘hey Book, I need you to work the Velocity show, we need to bump the ratings on that show, we need some star power on it, do you think you can do it?’ What do you think I am going to say? I am going to say, ‘yeah.’ But my boss, he respected me enough not to put me on those shows. He respected me enough as far as to keep my star power at a certain position. He kept me working around the main event guys. If I wasn’t with the main event guys I was doing something.” | https://www.pwmania.com/wwe-hall-of-famer-says-established-stars-appearing-on-aew-dark-is-a-demotion | 2022-04-24T04:20:27Z | https://www.pwmania.com/wwe-hall-of-famer-says-established-stars-appearing-on-aew-dark-is-a-demotion | false | 2 |
Solomon Islands China base ‘disturbing’, says family of WWII hero
By Tim Barlass
The controversial establishment of a military base on the Solomon Islands by China has thrown the spotlight on a Sydney woman who was the “unsung hero” of the islands during World War II.
Now, the preparedness of Ruby Boye-Jones to put her life on the line to prevent a hostile power establishing a base on the Solomon Islands seems, with a contemporary perspective, to have been in vain.
Boye-Jones refused to be evacuated from Vanikoro (in the Santa Cruz group of islands) with the outbreak of war. Instead, she learnt to operate the island’s radio and taught herself Morse code to maintain weather broadcasts used by Allied shipping and aircraft during the war in the Pacific.
The Japanese, aware of her presence, would broadcast night after night on the same wavelength: “Calling Mrs Boye on Vanikoro. We are coming to get you, Ruby. We are coming to get you.”
The potential for a Chinese military base on the Solomon Islands is now seen to destabilise Australia’s near northern approaches and is becoming an issue of the election campaign.
Rory Medcalf, head of the ANU National Security College, told the Herald’s international editor Peter Hartcher on Thursday: “It begs the question, if we can’t shape an outcome in a nearby small country where we’ve provided stability for decades, where can we?”
Now Boye-Jones’ grandson Phill Boye from Wollongong, who knew his grandmother well as she survived in Sydney to the age of 99, has likened the latest moves by China to the advance by Russia against the Ukraine.
“It is concerning the way this has been pushed through,” he told The Sun-Herald. “It is getting harder to trust some foreign powers, especially with what’s happening with Russia. You feel sometimes the Chinese are a bit the same, you know, the truth isn’t there.
“It is frightening to think that you can’t trust what they say. That’s the scary thing, especially watching what Russia is doing, and they are quite happy to just lie.”
Asked if he believed Australia had taken its eye off the ball, he said: “I guess you could say that. That’s a fair enough statement. I think she [Ruby] would probably feel the same way. That was a very hard-fought area in that part of the Pacific, the battles right nearby were pretty horrific.”
Amid allegations of failure of foreign policy, the eve of Anzac Day merits the telling of the achievements of a remarkable woman who was Australia’s only female Coastwatcher during the Second World War.
Ruby Olive Jones was born in Sydney in 1891 and was working as a saleswoman when she married laundry operator Skov Boye, who had previously lived in the Solomon Islands. They had two boys, Don (Phill’s father) and Ken.
Skov accepted the position of island manager for a timber company in Vanikoro in 1936. Ships would arrive from Melbourne four times a year to collect the logs and deliver supplies. It was an island outpost, she said in an interview, where giant butterflies chased birds and crocodiles would snatch the pet cat.
With the outbreak of war in 1939, Vanikoro formed part of a Coastwatching network in the South Pacific. The two boys were sent for schooling in Sydney and the island was evacuated. When the radio operator left, a 50-year-old Mrs Boye took on the role. She and her husband were the only non-Solomon Islanders remaining.
In an interview on Snapper Island in Sydney in 1978, she said: “I learnt how to read the panel of instruments for the weather reports, there were plenty of storms and hurricanes. Soon after, there was news of Pearl Harbor being bombed [on December 7, 1941] and we were a bit scared about that.
“I was sending messages to Tulagi [in the Solomons] where they were compiled, then Tulagi was bombed, so I was advised through coded messages to use Morse code, which I had been practising since a ‘Jap’ had called me and told me to get out or else.
“They [the Royal Australian Navy] thought it was best for me to be in a uniform and the navy appointed me as an honorary third officer in the WRANS [Women’s Royal Australian Naval Service]. It was just in case I was captured because I would be classed as a spy otherwise. It was dropped by parachute and it came down like a big pearl into the sea. They also sent cosmetics. I sent a message back saying, ‘Thanks for the goodies, I am now a raving beauty.’
“It was very scary. We would hear the throbs of submarines on the reef. We would see ‘Jap’ planes flying over. Later on, they bombed one of the aircraft tenders that were in the harbour.”
When she received threats from a Japanese commander over her radio frequency, defensive action was taken. According to a chapter on Boye in the book Unsung Heroes and Heroines of Australia, “At that point the other Coastwatchers jammed the airwaves, blotted out the rest of the message and told the Japanese operator ‘in language they wouldn’t repeat to a lady’ exactly what the Japanese commander could do.”
At one point she was taken off the island for treatment for shingles and “four young American fellows” took her place while she was absent for three weeks.
Petar Djokovic, writing in the navy’s Semaphore publication, reports: “Such was the appreciation of Ruby’s efforts that Admiral William Halsey [a fleet admiral in the United States Navy] called on her at Vanikoro. He arrived in a flying boat and a small group of officers came ashore to be met by Skov. Halsey introduced himself: ‘Name’s Halsey. Not stopping for long, just thought I’d like to call in and meet that marvellous woman who runs the radio.’
She received the news via her radio that the war was over and was presented with the British Empire Medal in 1946 in a ceremony in Suva.
Ruby outlived Skov and also a second husband. She lived alone at her Penshurst home for 30 years before moving into a nursing home aged 96.
Phill Boye said his grandmother died at the age of 99 in 1990 and was always happy to talk about her experiences. “She was a pretty tough lady,” he said.
An accommodation block at the Defence Force Academy in Canberra is named in her honour.

DANIEL ESTRIN, HOST:
France has a choice this weekend - Macron or Le Pen. Polls favor President Emmanuel Macron to win a second term on Sunday. But the gap is much closer than five years ago, when he defeated Marine Le Pen. This time around, the right-wing populist has rebranded, and she has won a lot of support. So what does that mean for France?
We're going to talk about that with Sylvie Kauffmann. She's editorial director at the French newspaper Le Monde. Welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.
SYLVIE KAUFFMANN: Thank you. Thank you for having me.
ESTRIN: So we know Marine Le Pen comes from a far-right-wing family. She has supposedly moderated her politics. What is her vision for France? What would she do if she became president?
KAUFFMANN: That's a very good question because she didn't put forward immediately this time, in this campaign, a very clear vision of how she sees the future of France. And so towards these last few days, since the first round, really, you know, people had a closer look at her program. And also, Emmanuel Macron, I think, did a good job of pointing out, you know, what were the misleading features of her campaign. And so when you look closely, you can see that, for instance, what she advocates is the equivalent of leaving the European Union because...
ESTRIN: Wow.
KAUFFMANN: ...She - yes. I mean, not - you know, we call it a Frexit (ph) in disguise, right?
ESTRIN: Wow. Is her position truly a surprise for her supporters? I mean, why has she won so many new supporters this time around?
KAUFFMANN: She did attract more votes this time. That's a fact. And I don't think it's because of her positions on Europe. I think it's more because of - her main focus this time was the cost of living because it is true that we also have an inflation problem. And so she has been very effective at telling people, if you elect me president, you will have subsidies. You will have - you know, I will cut the price of gas - you know, all these kind of promises.
ESTRIN: So even if she is not elected, her rise in popularity in this campaign says something, right? I mean, first of all, does it...
KAUFFMANN: Yes.
ESTRIN: ...Reflect trends elsewhere in Europe, in the rise of populism, nationalism in the U.S., too?
KAUFFMANN: Well, it's - yes. We've been having those trends in various countries, but that's not only Marine Le Pen in the populist trend in France. There is a third politician, Jean-Luc Melenchon, who we might compare to Bernie Sanders if you want, and he got almost as many votes as Marine Le Pen. She got 23% of the vote, and he got 22% of the vote. And he's a left-wing politician.
So we have two important parties and politicians now in our political landscape which are populist parties, one on the left and one on the far-right. And so between those, you have Emmanuel Macron. And he's now the only political force in the center because the mainstream traditional parties on the center have totally collapsed. So our political system is really - it's a field of ruins.
ESTRIN: Sylvie Kauffmann, editorial director at Le Monde, thank you so much.
KAUFFMANN: Pleasure to be with you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR. | https://www.kvnf.org/2022-04-22/what-this-sundays-election-means-for-the-future-of-france | 2022-04-24T04:34:31Z | https://www.kvnf.org/2022-04-22/what-this-sundays-election-means-for-the-future-of-france | false | 6 |
