The Bulldogs went 2-0 on a weekend road trip to Kalispell and are now just a win away from .500.
After a 4-1 victory over Kalispell Glacier on Friday, the Bulldogs put a 22-3 drubbing on Kalispell Flathead on Saturday.
Saturday's rout saw Butte's Rian Ferriter get back on track in the circle, and home runs by Jordyn Bolton and Brityn Stewart as part of an offensive explosion for the Bulldogs (5-6) who scored 14 runs in the first inning.
Ferriter pitched a five-inning complete game during which she struck out eight, walked two and allowed one hit. The Braves scored three times but none of those runs were earned.
"She was was pretty on point for three innings," Butte head coach Ryan Stosich said.
Bolton's blast, a three-run homer in the first, gave Butte a 14-0 lead. Bolton finished 4-for-4 with five RBIs.
"She came out a little bit slow for being an all-state hitter, but she's sure picking it up now," Stosich said of Bolton's hot bat.

Stewart's home run was a solo shot to lead off the second, giving the Bulldogs a 15-0 lead.
Ashlinn Mullaney was 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI. Joscelyn Cleveland had three RBIs and scored twice.
Mullaney started in the circled Friday against Glacier. The Bulldogs freshman pitched seven innings of one-run ball, striking out five while walking none and scattering three hits.
The Wolfpack scored the opening run in the second, but the Bulldogs scored four unanswered to seal the deal.
Ferriter swatted a two-run homer in the fifth to give Butte some much-needed breathing room.
"That was a big hit for us," Stosich said. "We struggled with runners on (base). We left 12 runners on."
Godbout, who finished the game 1-for-3 with a walk, had the go-ahead RBI single in the fourth. Kodie Hoagland tied the game in the third by scoring on a wild pitch.

Rare ‘Washington Crossing the Delaware’ painting that hung in the White House for more than 40 years will be auctioned off and is expected to sell for $20M
- The 1851 oil painting is one of three versions painted by Emanuel Leutze of the man who was to be the first U.S. president leading troops
- The first version was destroyed during a World War Two air raid in Germany, said American Art specialist Paige Kestenman at Christie's New York
- The work depicts George Washington leading soldiers across the Delaware River to surprise the infantry hiding on the other side on Christmas Night, 1776
- A reenactment of this famed moment happens every year and draws in crowds to the banks of the Washington River in Pennsylvania and New Jersey
The famous 'Washington Crossing the Delaware' painting, which hung in the White House from the 1970s to 2014, is coming up for auction next month, when it is estimated to fetch about $20million.
The 1851 oil painting is one of three versions painted by Emanuel Leutze of the man who was to be the first U.S. president leading troops during a key moment of the American revolution. Only two survive.
The first version was destroyed during a World War Two air raid in Germany, said American Art specialist Paige Kestenman at Christie's New York.
'The second is the monumental work that is the centerpiece of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's American Wing, and the third is this work right here,' said Kestenman.
The version at New York's Met measures 12.4 ft x 21.25 ft.

The painting up for sale on May 12 is smaller - about 3 ft by 6 ft. It had hung for decades in the White House, mainly in the West Wing reception room.
The work depicts George Washington leading soldiers across the Delaware River to surprise the infantry hiding on the other side on Christmas Night, 1776, Kestenman said.
'A German-born American immigrant, Leutze was also a staunch abolitionist and in 'Washington crossing the Delaware' he deliberately included a variety of the figures that make up the melting pot that formed the American nation,' said Kestenman.
She pointed out a Black soldier, another soldier wearing a Scottish bonnet, and moccasins and buckskin clothing suggesting the American West and Native Americans.
A reenactment of this famed moment happens every year and draws in crowds to the banks of the Washington River in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
In 2021, the re-enactment celebrated its 241st anniversary. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10747579/Rare-Washington-Crossing-Delaware-painting-hung-White-House-auctioned-off.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-24T04:38:44Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10747579/Rare-Washington-Crossing-Delaware-painting-hung-White-House-auctioned-off.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 4 |

Shortage of staff in the roadways depot in Tarn Taran has affected the routine working in the department. With the induction of 22 new buses by the previous government, the tally had reached to 71.
The depot was lacking required number drivers, conductors, sweepers, technical staff etc, as a result some of the buses stand idle at the workshop. Of the 100 posts sanctioned for drivers and conductors each, 34 posts of conductors and 33 of drivers are still vacant. After the induction of new buses, the two new routes from Tarn Taran to Mukatsar and Malaut had been started. Besides this certain suspended local bus-timings to Chohla Sahib, Khadoor Sahib, Valtoha, Khemkaran, Khalra, Attari, Chabal, Munda Pind, Shahbazpur-Dialpur, Khadoor Sahib, Amritsar, etc. had been resumed. But even then some of the timings of buses had not been resumed due to staff crunch. Duty Inspector Jaswinder Singh said the issue had been brought to the notice of the higher authorities. The position with the workshop was more worrisome. Gurjit Singh Gill, an employee of the workshop, Tarn Taran, said the post of junior technician mechanics (junior technician) was vacant. There are no electrician, workman and mechanic in the workshop. Gill said employees working in the workshop have to spent money from their own pockets for repair work. There were only two sweepers against six posts and only one class IV employee was working against three posts. The lone post of accountant too was lying vacant. All sections had been demanding to fill the vacant posts without delay to assure the smooth functioning.
Checking drug menace? Who cares!
One hard-hitting statement released by Harpreet Singh Dhunna, district press secretary, AAP, on the availability of drugs has put the district administration in a tight spot. Managements of private de-addiction centres besides officials of the Mental Health Cell, Punjab, had confirmed that due to the easy availability of drugs, addicts were not ready to come to the de-addiction centres. Dhunna had recently alleged that the action of the police to check drugs was just on papers and not up to the mark. The AAP leader said the lackadaisical action of the police was allegedly responsible for flourishing this drug trade in the district. He said easy availability of drugs hints at the alleged connivance of the police with peddlers. Dhunna, referring to a video that went viral on social media, said the clip shows the true picture of availability of drugs in the district and police inaction. He said the AAP MLAs had instructed the police to take action against the drug peddlers but to no avail adding that the transfers of cops too failed to bear any fruit. Dr Isha Dhawan, district in-charge, Mental Health Cell, said on an average 30 new patients are admitted in the district per month and there was no dip in this number. Dr Dhawan said during the lockdown, addicts rushed to the de-addiction centres and the average admission of addicts had shot up to 80 patients in a month. SSP Ranjit Singh Dhillon refused to comment on the issue and did not reply to the WhatsApp message.
Baba Sukha Singh returns from Bengal
Baba Sukha Singh, Head, Kar Sewa Sect, Sarhali Sahib, Tarn Taran, recently visited West Bengal to take stock of the condition of Sikh community living in the state. Members of the Kar Sewa Sect had been performing sewa of certain gurdwaras in Bangladesh and West Bangal. Baba Sukha Singh said large number of Sikhs from Punjab had settled and many families were running transport business there. Baba Sukha Singh was doing the kar sewa of a gurdwara being built in the memory of Bhagat Jai Dev in West Bangal. The Bani (Shabads) of Bhagat Jai Dev are mentioned in Guru Granth Sahib. Baba Sukha Singh said the Sikhs residing in West Bengal were having full faith in Sikh religious traditions and visit Gurdwaras there daily with great devotion. Baba Sukha Singh also visited Kenduli, Beerbhum, Panagarh cities there and interacted with the Sikh community.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — For some, Saturday was just any normal start to the weekend. For others, it was a day to celebrate the unique culture that surrounds one of recent times fastest growing hobbies — record collecting.
Record Store Day finds listeners of all ages visiting their local record shops to flip through bins of vinyl and enjoy the rich history of the format. Space Monkey Records owner Patrick Holl says there’s been a major resurgence of vinyl records in the last couple of years. Many listeners credit the sound quality of records for their recent revival.
“There is just nothing else that compares to dropping the needle,” says Holl. “Vinyl is absolutely like no other medium, it’s just something you have to experience.”
The Recording Industry Association of America say sales jumped from just below $500 million in 2019 to just $1 billion last year. The very first Record Store Day was celebrated back in 2008 and today, record stores on every continent, except Antarctica celebrate the day. | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/local-news/the-needle-drops-for-record-store-day-in-evansville/ | 2022-04-24T04:46:30Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/local-news/the-needle-drops-for-record-store-day-in-evansville/ | true | 1 |
Florida deputies rescue baby from large apartment fire in Orlando
Orange County - A massive fire at an apartment complex Saturday morning in Orange County has left an entire building – 24 units -- "uninhabitable" due to fire, smoke, and water damage.
Firefighters from multiple departments in Central Florida responded to the Isles at East Millenia apartments in Orlando.
Orange County deputies were first to arrive and found flames and smoke coming from the apartments, and families on the second floor reportedly trapped.
"It was chaos everywhere," said Deputy William Puzynski. "I started looking around you could see families trapped on each floor, hanging off the balconies."
From one of the apartment balconies, a mother was trying to lower her infant daughter to safety.
"I started climbing the building but couldn't make it all the way," said deputy Puzynski. "That's when my partners helped me out. That's when I was able to get to the second floor, then climbed up to the third, grabbed the baby. That's when I handed the baby down to my partners."
Orange County Fire Rescue helps seven more people get out of the building.
No one was reported hurt – citizens or first responders – and no residents were transported to the hospital, said Orange County Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Steve Sherrill.
"Everybody was accounted for," he said.
It took about an hour to knock down the flames, officials said.
About half of the units in the building – a dozen or so – were damaged by fire, while the others were damaged by smoke and water.
"We're gonna kill power to the entire fire structure, even the ones not affected just because with it getting into the attic, we know the electrical was compromised. So we don't want to leave anyone in there with power on," Chief Sherrill said earlier Saturday morning.
The Orlando Red Cross has responded to help those residents impacted find temporary housing.

The Alice: An Immersive Cocktail Experience recently opened in Sheffield to the excitement of many.
The pop-up event, inspired by Alice in Wonderland, received rave reviews when it opened in Leeds. So lots of people, myself included, were thrilled to learn the immersive event will be in Sheffield until June 30.
And when the team behind the experience invited me along, I couldn't wait for my adventure down the rabbit hole. But was the immersive event as wonderful as I had hoped? Read on to find out.
My evening at the curious venue got off to a brilliant start when I was ushered into the Wonderland bar. It immediately became clear the team behind the experience had gone all out, letting their imagination run wild to create a unique location.
It is certainly not every day you can feel like you have entered Wonderland, but this bar appeared to have sprung from the pages of a Lewis Carroll novel.
With floating mushrooms, giant cards, and flittering fairy lights everywhere, the "topsy-turvy cocktail adventure" promised by the team was off to a great start. And there was a good range of themed drinks on offer, if you wished to enjoy any before the interactive show got underway.
My friend and I opted for cocktails to make the most of the venue's 2 for £12 offer. We were very nearly tempted by the glitter shots too.
But the star of the show, quite literally, came once we moved into the tea party room, where we were served the first of our cocktails included as part of the experience. The unexpected catch was that to enjoy the 'bespoke' drink we first had to solve a series of riddles to win the ingredients.
The fun challenges, which were also Wonderland themed, were not too difficult to complete, and anybody struggling was prompted by the theatre performers hosting the evening.
You see, from the very beginning of the 90 minute interactive experience, we were joined by characters from the books, who endeavoured to make us laugh throughout. While they tried their best, not every joke landed, though.
I think quite a few members of the audience laughed out of politeness, more than in genuine reaction to the cast. Thankfully, the evening incorporated many twists and turns, so even if one aspect was not to anyone's liking, there would be different games to follow soon.
The short game of croquet was a personal highlight, as was the pause we were later given to enjoy "Eat Me" cake. After some more curious entertainment, we were then given our second cocktails of the evening, which were served with whipped cream, onto which we could draw designs in sauce.
While a more personalised experience than you would enjoy at a traditional cocktail venue, since you mix the ingredients, I was left confused as to why the drinks were advertised as 'bespoke'. After all, nobody was given different choices, save for one customer who opted for a non-alcoholic version. I don't even think there was a choice of sauce flavours.
I enjoyed both of the sweet-flavoured drinks we were given, but I would suggest that not providing any different options during the show risks disappointing customers at an event centred around cocktails. Yes, the drinks were not the only attraction, but I think they were the main pull for customers given the show is billed as a "boozy Mad Hatter's Tea Party."
My criticisms aside, this experience is certainly like nothing I have ever tried before. If you wish to feel like you have stepped into a theatrical, alternate reality then this is the place for you.
It is a theatre lover's dream, just perhaps not the place for a cocktail connoisseur. Since I love whimsy, and I enjoy most cocktails, I did enjoy myself; I'm just not sure I would visit again.
The venue is now open on 4 Suffolk Road. The 90 minute experience costs £23pp and includes 2x cocktails and an 'Eat Me' cupcake/ cookie. | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/whats-on/reviews/tried-alice-immersive-cocktail-experience-23735070 | 2022-04-24T05:00:39Z | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/whats-on/reviews/tried-alice-immersive-cocktail-experience-23735070 | false | 1 |

Bayern Munich were crowned Bundesliga champions for the 10th consecutive season on Saturday after a 3-1 home win over second-placed Borussia Dortmund.
First-half goals by Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski put Bayern in control at a sold-out Allianz Arena before Emre Can converted a penalty after the break for Dortmund.
But teenager Jamal Musiala fired in a late goal to spark early celebrations in the home crowd.
This is the first time a club has won 10 straight titles in one of Europe’s top five leagues.
“The year wasn’t that easy. That’s why I’m happy that we crowned it with the championship title,” said Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann, who was drenched in beer by his players.
The Bavarian giants’ eighth successive win over Dortmund leaves Bayern an unassailable 12 points clear with three games left.
The title capped an up-and-down season for Bayern, who were dumped out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals by Villarreal earlier this month.
“It was important that we finished things off after being knocked out by Villarreal,” said Bayern captain Manuel Neuer.
“Everyone wanted it, that’s what’s special in our team.”
Thomas Mueller, who claimed a record-breaking 11th Bundesliga winner’s medal, said: “We were able to get a few things off our chest. Now it’s wonderful.”
Bayern dominated the opening half and Gnabry fired a magnificent volley into the top corner from the edge of the box to give them a 15th-minute lead.
Gnabry had a second effort disallowed before Lewandowski doubled the advantage 11 minutes before half-time.
It was the Poland striker’s 27th goal in 26 matches against Dortmund, who he left for Bayern in 2014.
But his future is in doubt, with Lewandowski’s contract up next year and Barcelona reportedly interested in taking him to the Camp Nou.
“Something will happen soon. The only thing I know is that there will be a meeting (with Bayern)“, he told Sky.
Dortmund responded early in the second half as Can converted a penalty after Marco Reus was brought down in the area.
The visitors had their appeals for another spot-kick waved away with 30 minutes left when Lucas Hernandez brought Jude Bellingham down in the area.
Lewandowski won the battle of the Bundesliga’s star strikers as Erling Haaland, who has been linked with big-money move to Manchester City, failed to score despite forcing Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer into two late saves.
Musiala put the result beyond doubt when he slotted home seconds after his initial shot was saved by Dortmund keeper Marwin Hitz.
- Late Union goals stun Leipzig -
Earlier, Union Berlin scored two late goals to poach a 2-1 win at RB Leipzig, which kept alive their Champions League qualification hopes.
Bayer Leverkusen thumped bottom club Greuther Fuerth 4-1 to take third place from Leipzig and move three points clear of fifth-placed Freiburg in the race for the top four.
Freiburg missed the chance to draw level on points with Leipzig, conceding a late equaliser in a 3-3 draw with Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Union are just two points further back in sixth, with five clubs, including seventh-placed Cologne, separated by just six points with three games remaining in the battle to reach next season’s Champions League group stage.
Yussuf Poulsen put Leipzig ahead early in the second half to put the hosts on course for their second win in four days over Union, who they beat 2-1 in the German Cup semi-finals on Wednesday.
However, Union avenged the cup defeat as substitutes Sven Michel and then Kevin Behrens scored in the 86th and 88th minutes.
Union are bidding to reach the Champions League for the first time in just their third season since being promoted to the Bundesliga.
Freiburg, also hoping for a maiden appearance in Europe’s premier competition, looked set to pile the pressure on Leipzig as they fought back from 2-0 down at half-time to lead Gladbach.
But Lars Stindl struck for the away side in the third minute of injury time.
Fuerth were finally relegated after their loss to Leverkusen, having been last in the table since September. | https://scroll.in/field/1022513/european-football-bayern-munich-win-bundesliga-title-for-the-10th-straight-year?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=public | 2022-04-24T05:05:39Z | https://scroll.in/field/1022513/european-football-bayern-munich-win-bundesliga-title-for-the-10th-straight-year?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=public | false | 11 |
Jayson Tatum's Superstar Leap Is Making the Boston Celtics a Superteam
April 24, 2022After a 109-103 road victory Saturday, Jayson Tatum and Boston Celtics are now up 3-0 on the preseason title-favorite Brooklyn Nets.
Yes, the same Nets who, in 2019, added Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in free agency. The same Nets who, in 2020, traded for James Harden (who, as you know, was later moved for Ben Simmons).
During what feels like a possible twilight for the NBA's superteam era, Brooklyn has been perhaps the most high-profile example of that form of team-building (though, the Los Angeles Lakers might want a word on that front).
And that was good enough to get them the shortest title odds before this season started. But less than a year later, it doesn't look like it will be good enough to beat Tatum and the Celtics, who are playing as much like a superteam as anyone.
Of course, this didn't just start with the playoffs. Boston has been dominant for over half the season. Since Dec. 31, their plus-12.7 net rating (net points per 100 possessions) doesn't just lead the league, it's 5.1 points better than the second-place Memphis Grizzlies and Phoenix Suns (as wide as the gap between second and 12th).
The only team in NBA history that pulled off a net rating over 12.7 for an entire season? The 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. Yes, those Bulls. The ones who went 72-10 and featured Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman (all Hall of Famers).
No, these Celtics probably aren't the peak-of-the-powers Bulls or the Lightyears-era Golden State Warriors, but at least statistically, they're playing like them. And Tatum ascending to borderline top-five status (or perennial All-NBA selection, or MVP candidate, or however you want to classify it), has a lot to do with it.
Over that same Dec. 31-on stretch, Tatum averaged 27.9 points, 4.9 assists and 3.2 threes, with a 61.6 true shooting percentage. After going for 39 and six in the latest outing against Brooklyn, he's up to 29.7 points, 8.0 assists and 3.0 threes for the series.
In a matchup that includes KD and Kyrie, there's really no argument that anyone else has been the best player through three games. And that's not just because of Tatum's counting stats.
One of the driving factors (maybe the driving factor) behind Boston's dominance since Christmas is a defense so connected it seems borderline telepathic. And Tatum is a key cog on that end.
He finished the season as the league leader in defensive win shares, a stat historically owned by centers and traditional power forwards (each of the top 43 defensive win share seasons in NBA history belong to bigs).
And after swiping six steals on Saturday, he's now averaging 3.3 stocks (steals plus blocks) for the series. He's also a big part of why Durant is shooting 36.5 percent from the field (after Game 3, KD is now 2-of-15 when defended by Tatum).
In the mold of some of his superstar predecessors on the wing, Tatum has become a game-changer on both sides of the floor. And, as ESPN's Jeff Van Gundy said following Saturday's broadcast, he's now in that "best player on a championship team" tier.
You can't win it all by yourself, though (just ask reigning MVP Nikola Jokic). And like I said before, Boston is playing like a superteam.
That 2021-22 defensive win shares leaderboard? Robert Williams III, Al Horford, Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown are fifth, tied for sixth, tied for eighth and tied for 15th, respectively.
Brown just averaged over 20 points for the third straight season. Williams is a dynamic rim runner who forces defense to collapse when he's the screener in pick-and-rolls. Horford is one of the smartest passing bigs of his generation. And Smart, finally empowered as the starting point guard, just averaged a career-high 5.9 assists.
They aren't backed up by the deepest bench in the league, but Derrick White is a good ball mover and great defender (tied for eighth in the NBA in defensive estimated plus-minus) who fits schematically on both ends. Grant Williams and Daniel Theis have plenty of experience in the system. And Payton Pritchard has the ability to take over two- or three-minute stretches (as he did on Saturday, when he had 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting). In the playoffs, you don't need much more than that from a backup guard.
That's especially true with a starting five and first option as good as Boston's.
The idea that you need a top 5-10 player to win a championship has persisted for years for a reason. It's generally true. In a sport that only has 10 guys on the floor at a time, a single player can have a huge impact. And Tatum is now the kind of player who can be the best of the 10 in any series from now through the Finals. | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2955627-jayson-tatums-superstar-leap-is-making-the-boston-celtics-a-superteam | 2022-04-24T05:07:38Z | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2955627-jayson-tatums-superstar-leap-is-making-the-boston-celtics-a-superteam | true | 1 |

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Emma Carroll was a woman of few words but those who met her were captivated by her warm smile.
A lifelong resident of Pembroke, she was well-known throughout the community. The town even has a street named after her family — Carroll Crossing Road. But on July 18, 2009, Emma disappeared without a trace.
Thirteen years later, the family is still in mourning and hopeful they will get answers sooner than later.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Emma Carroll was born Oct. 4, 1925. Her mother was from Soperton, but later moved to Pembroke. Emma was a jack of all trades — whether it be working in the fields or serving in the school lunchroom, she found a way to provide for her family. No task was too big for the mother of 11 children. Her daughter, Alethia Carroll, described her as a shy, reserved woman whose work-ethic was unmatched.
“It was a struggle for her, being poor and raising 11 children,” said Alethia. “But she was a very loyal person. There isn’t anything in the world she would not have done for her children.”
What Alethia remembers most about her mother was her unwavering faith in God. Emma served as the mother of the church, presiding over the communion service. Most of all, Alethia said Emma epitomized what it meant to be a mother.
“My mother was a Christian, born again and spirit filled,” said Alethia. “If I ever had a chance to choose my mother, I would never choose any other than the one I had. She was a good mom and because we were poor, she made a lot of sacrifices.”
JULY 18, 2009
Emma disappeared from Alethia’s house one summer day in July after Alethia had left the home for a couple hours.
“When I walked in the front door, the chair she normally sits in was empty,” said Alethia. “I went through the entire house, calling her name. We are in a very rural area. When I couldn’t find her, I called my sisters and brothers. I got in my truck and started riding around. It was about 15-20 minutes from the time we missed her until we called the Sheriff’s office.”
Emma was suffering from dementia and was 83-years-old at the time of her disappearance.
“Her mind was weak,” said Alethia. “We didn’t know what to expect. Some days she was OK. Some days she was not.”
Alethia has come to terms with the fact that her mother has probably passed by now. Still, knowing where she took her last breath would give her the solace she so desperately desires.
“It was somewhere in the afternoon that she left,” said Alethia. “Her mother used to live right down the road that we live on. I would think that whenever she left this house, I think she thought she was going to her mother’s house.”
NO SIGN OF HER
Mark Crowe, sheriff for the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office, remembers how her disappearance shook the community and how the severity of her illness may have played a role in her vanishing.
“Typically what we find with people with dementia is they don’t know where they are,” said Crowe. “They think that they know where they are going. I would hate to think that someone picked her up. I really think she found some path to get on and eventually realized she didn’t know how to get back. We want to know exactly what happened to her. If there’s a way to say we think this area didn’t get looked at or maybe go back over the entire pattern, they may be able to find a piece of clothing or something that would lead to her.”
Alethia praised the community for how quickly they responded to helping find her mother.
“The people all came together, and the neighborhood came together,” said Alethia. “We did a 9-day active search and nothing was ever found. Thirteen years later and we still don’t have answers.”
Alethia said law enforcement used every tool in their toolbox to find her mother, but they came up empty. “We did the best we could do to find her. We had the dogs, dirt bikes, horses, the sheriff’s department did a great job and the people from the TV station came up here. They even brought the helicopters up here that same night.”
Lt. Resa Deal worked the case and recalls combing through the area.
“It was hard for the family,” said Carroll. “For their mom to have walked away like she did was hard for the family. We tried for about three weeks. We had helicopters. We had everything.”
After her mother’s disappearance, dozens of people called in saying they saw Emma. But they turned out to be false leads.
“We got a lot of calls,” said Alethia. “There were people from Atlanta telling us they have a person up there and they don’t know who she is. Unfortunately, it was not my mother.”
KEEPING HER LEGACY ALIVE
Eight of Emma’s 11 children are still living. Though it has been painful to accept they will never see their mother again, they plan on celebrating her legacy and life in the near future.
“It’s extremely difficult,” said Alethia. “My family — they mostly just shut down. Coming up to the pandemic, we were going to celebrate her birthday every year and then the pandemic hit, and we were not able to do it. I don’t know if we will pick it up this year, but we will at some point.”
Emma beat poverty and raised 11 children with little-to-nothing. She found ways to persevere. Alethia watched her mom fight through adversity every day, so she refuses to give up on the woman who never gave up on her.
“I think about her every day,” said Alethia. “We love her, we miss her and we wish she was here. The case is not closed. As long as we don’t know what happened to her, the case is not closed.” | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/13-years-after-mom-vanished-family-still-looks-17122511.php | 2022-04-24T05:09:20Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/13-years-after-mom-vanished-family-still-looks-17122511.php | false | 12 |

Two separate changes to the way federal authorities determine flood risk will impact how much owners of properties in the Susquehanna River floodplain pay for flood insurance.
Flood insurance rates changed for some of those properties this month, thanks to Risk Rating 2.0, a new method the Federal Emergency Management Agency implemented to assess flood risk. It took effect April 1.
Insurance rates will change again for some properties in the floodplain late this year or next year, when FEMA’s revised flood maps take effect.
The rate change based on the revised flood maps will be much greater for some property owners than the change that took effect under Risk Rating 2.0, which is capped at 18% annually in most cases.
Some properties that are reclassified into higher-risk zones under the revised flood maps could see their flood insurance bill triple, Kingston Municipal Administrator Paul Keating said last week.
FEMA released preliminary revised flood maps in 2020. Kingston, where hundreds of properties would be reclassified into a higher-risk zone, appealed.
That appeal is still pending, Keating said.
Two changes from FEMA
The revised flood maps and Risk Rating 2.0 are separate things.
The rate change already reflected in some flood insurance premiums through the National Flood Insurance Program is based on Risk Rating 2.0.
The new methodology focuses on specific characteristics of each property, such as the cost to replace the home, its elevation and its distance from a water source.
FEMA describes Risk Rating 2.0 as “equity in action,” since it reflects “a property’s individual flood risk.”
The majority of properties will see a rate increase based on Risk Rating 2.0, but some properties will see rates decrease.
A few Kingston residents questioned why their flood insurance premium increased recently, Keating said. The flood insurance bill for his personal property increased by about 14%, he said.
The majority of properties will see premiums increase by $10 per month or less under Risk Rating 2.0, according to FEMA.
Stalled appeal
Kingston officials feel they made a strong case in their appeal of the flood maps, Keating said.
The preliminary revised maps shift a significant number of Kingston properties from a moderate risk “X” zone into a higher-risk “AE” zone designated as a Special Flood Hazard Area.
If Kingston loses its appeal, owners of those properties will likely see large increases in flood insurance premiums.
FEMA did not take into account Kingston’s history of staying safe and dry during high-water events and the measures in place to pump excess water, Keating said.
“We have our own interior stormwater pumping,” he said. “That was not included in their determination. We believe it was overlooked. We never had interior flooding in Kingston.”
The county flood protection authority, which maintains a levee system along the Susquehanna, supports Kingston’s appeal, Keating said.
Authority Executive Director Christopher Belleman agreed.
At last week’s authority board meeting, Belleman said he asked for an update from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which performed a study of the Susquehanna River basin that served as the basis for FEMA’s revised flood maps.
No update had been provided as of late last week, Belleman said.
First-time flood insurance?
The preliminary revised flood maps place some properties into a designated flood zone for the first time.
Owners of many of those properties will pay for flood insurance for the first time, if no changes are made before the final maps take effect.
Twenty-nine municipalities in Luzerne County are impacted, according to information posted at the flood protection authority’s website.
One of them is Exeter. Last year, hundreds of residents of that borough signed a petition protesting the new flood maps.
Owners of paid-off, mortgage-free properties in the floodplain are not required to purchase flood insurance but are strongly advised to do so, Belleman said.
The revised flood maps are scheduled to take effect late this year or in early 2023.

Budget: the good and not-so-good
It’s no surprise that the state’s budget for the next fiscal year is enormous.
With a windfall of federal money, unexpectedly high tax revenue — and no doubt a big political incentive for Gov. Kathy Hochul to carve out some voter-friendly policy wins ahead of the next election — the Legislature passed a whopping $220 billion budget this month.
Let’s take a look at some of the good, the bad and the questionable things in the new budget.
The badAs per usual, there’s a lot to unpack. Included in this package is not only a complex web of spending, but a variety of policy changes — everything from criminal justice reforms to the extension of restaurants’ ability to offer to-go cocktails. Members of the state Legislature did try to separate Hochul’s non-budget related policy proposals out of the budget, according to the Gothamist, but not all of them were removed.
Stuffing politically-difficult policy issues — especially complex ones like criminal justice reforms — into budget negotiations just isn’t the right way to do things. We believe that policy issues should be dealt with separately, not shoehorned into budget negotiations.
People are also reading…
Another point worth mentioning: the budget was late. Though a few days may not seem like a big deal, it could translate to delayed payments to state workers.
The questionableIf any taxpayers out there are wondering if the state is really going to spend $600 million in public funds to help construct a new Buffalo Bills stadium — after billionaire Bills owner Terrence Pegula threatened to move the team elsewhere — the Legislature has answered. Yes. The state has agreed to spend not just $600 million toward construction, but another $250 million over the next 30 years for upkeep of the stadium. That’s not to mention the additional $250 million contribution from taxpayers in Erie County. There’s clearly a public benefit to keeping the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo, but the question is worth asking: Why are taxpayers footing the bill for a private project, especially one where a billionaire is involved? We’ve yet to hear a real answer.
The goodThe new state budget sets aside $400 million for the Environmental Protection Fund, which this year includes $8 million to address the impacts of hiker traffic in wilderness areas in the Adirondack and Catskills parks. The state has also earmarked more than half a million dollars for the state Department of Environmental Conservation to put together a “visitor use management framework.” That’s good news in theory, but we hope to learn much more about what, exactly, all of that money will be spent on.
A $4.2 billion Clean Water, Clean Air and Clean Jobs Environmental Bond Act made it into the budget this year, though voters will have the final say on this in November.
Also included in the budget is $7 billion to be spent over four years to help subsidize child care for families who earn up to $83,000 per year, The New York Times reported last week. Again, this seems like good news in theory — child care funding is certainly needed, but should be spent carefully to ensure those who need it most see a real benefit.

State election law needs updating
New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin resigned last week after being charged with allegedly taking part in a scheme as old as politics, itself: trading his influence as a state senator for a campaign contribution. The development is more than just an embarrassment for Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration — and another shameful chapter in the history of state politics — it stands the chance of taking who becomes the next lieutenant governor out of the hands of the voters.
The Legislature has an opportunity to make sure that doesn’t happen, and we urge lawmakers to make sure that it doesn’t.
The problem is that Benjamin is currently on the primary election ballot to be the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor in November, and although he has resigned the office and would presumably not serve under any circumstances, the only way for a person to be removed from a ballot in New York is if they die, move out of state or run for another office in the same election cycle.
Common Cause/NY last week spelled out a sensible change to state election law that would allow Benjamin to be removed from the ballot without any of those things happening, and we agree that the law should be amended to add “exceptional circumstances” such as criminal indictment to the short list of ways top remove a candidate’s name from a ballot.
Without that modification, Benjamin could win the majority of votes in the primary and then decline the nomination. At that point, the Democratic Party would get together and pick whomever they choose to run in the general election, leaving 6.4 million registered Democrats out of the decision-making process.
There’s already a list of reasons that would allow a person to be removed from the ballot, so nobody is asking lawmakers to break new ground here, and this situation has shown that this list is simply too narrow. Federal bribery, fraud and conspiracy charges are solid reasons for adding criminal indictment. It would be a commonsense change that would help foster better government, and we urge the Legislature to pass it.

Voting changes in state are welcome
New York has never been much of a leader in conducting easy, efficient elections, but there are a few ways that this year’s June 28 primaries will finally be a little simpler for voters — timely, as parties make their picks for big races like governor, lieutenant governor and Congress.
There is now an online statewide tracker that will allow New York voters to check the status of their absentee ballots, so they can be assured their mailed-in vote reached its destination. This is the same portal where they can check their poll sites — voterlookup.elections.ny.gov. The tool even alerts you about fixable problems with absentee ballots, like a missing signature.
Many states have offered this kind of monitoring for years so it’s a nice if overdue change in an era when you can follow online every step of a toothpaste shipment.
You can request an absentee application now at absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov. You can also start the process by mail, fax, or in person at your county election board. It won’t be sent your way yet, though — not all candidates seeking to run are yet certified.
COVID-19 remains a valid reason for voting absentee. If you are issued an absentee ballot, though, it’s crucial to remember that you can no longer change your mind and vote on a machine in person on Election Day. That’s due to a change in state law made last year, part of an effort to speed up the vote count. Election officials will now start processing absentees as they arrive, so many of those ballots will be ready for counting on Election Day. Hopefully, that will help speed the counting process in some races that aren’t exceptionally close. Recently added rules letting people fix small absentee mistakes early could save time by preventing challenges later.
And don’t worry. Even if you are issued an absentee but change your mind and want to vote in person, you can register your preference with an “affidavit” ballot, which will be reviewed for validity later.
Another plus: There will be more early voting sites and some expansion of early voting hours, according to the Nassau and Suffolk county election boards, although the exact details aren’t finalized.
Albany has made other election process revisions in recent years in the interest of fairness, including changes to the way candidates and parties can play technical games at various points, strategically challenging absentee votes for inane reasons. It’s past time that New York moves beyond antiquated, Byzantine election laws that were designed to protect the parties in power.
This year and its big races will be a key test to see whether election boards can digest all the changes and run smooth elections, but perhaps we are beginning to get with modernity.

Benjamin and the de Blasio defense
It looks like disgraced ex-Lt. Gov Brian Benjamin’s defense will resort to the “get out of jail free” card that worked for then-Mayor Bill de Blasio: a claim that it’s not bribery if the pol doesn’t personally profit.
Back in 2017, recall, Acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim declined to charge Blas for his various pay-to-play ploys because the payoffs for various political favors had gone to the mayor’s pet nonprofit the Campaign for One New York and other cutouts. Kim deemed it hard to prove “criminal intent in corruption schemes where there is no evidence of personal profit.”
Now Benjamin’s lawyer is arguing that the charges against his client are based “solely on political contributions” and not “personal benefits” to Benjamin.
But de Blasio was actually careful not to have his own campaign funds reap the benefit, and the donations themselves met the letter of the law.
By contrast, Benjamin’s own campaign funds reaped the benefit of what prosecutors allege were tens of thousands in illegal “straw” donations arranged by a real-estate developer (widely suspected to be Harlem bigshot Gerald Migdol). The nominal donors weren’t even aware of the “gifts.”
The feds also allege the payoffs were part of a quid pro quo that saw Benjamin steering state money to a charity run by that same developer, among other favors.
Indeed, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams says it all looks like “bribery, plain and simple.” That the feds have already charged Benjamin shows confidence they can win a conviction, where their colleagues never charged de Blasio (even as they slammed his practices).
That Benjamin’s defense is still trying the “no personal benefit” dodge suggests it doesn’t have anything better — and that Gov. Kathy Hochul and her vetting team were utterly asleep at the switch when they tapped him as her No. 2.
Oh, and the fact that Benjamin apparently thought he was in the clear right up until his arrest is a prime sign that schemes like his are rampant in New York state politics.

Ten Bundesliga titles in a row a huge achievement, says Bayern's Lewandowski
Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski heaped praise on the German team's "huge achievement" after they won their 10th consecutive Bundesliga crown with three games to spare on Saturday.
Bayern defeated Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in front of a sold-out home crowd to go 12 points clear at the top of the table.
They have now won 31 Bundesliga titles since the introduction of the top division in 1963, and 32 German league crowns in all.
"It's not always easy to be consistent and play great football throughout the campaign," Lewandowski said.
"Perhaps in a couple of years, people will realise what a huge achievement 10 titles in a row is."
Forward Thomas Mueller, who became the first player to win 11 league titles, said nothing could beat the feeling of winning the Bundesliga.
"You don't have that situation often enough, to win the championship against your direct rivals in a home game. We really wanted to do that," Mueller said.
Midfielder Jamal Musiala said he was "overwhelmed" after scoring the third goal which sealed their victory against Dortmund, while Joshua Kimmich also delighted with their "special" achievement.
"It may seem normal for outsiders, but it takes a lot of hard work. We're really happy and proud to reach this big goal," Kimmich added. | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/sport/ten-bundesliga-titles-row-huge-achievement-says-bayerns-lewandowski-2644101?cid=cna_flip_070214 | 2022-04-24T05:23:24Z | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/sport/ten-bundesliga-titles-row-huge-achievement-says-bayerns-lewandowski-2644101?cid=cna_flip_070214 | false | 4 |

Republican
Age 68 of Hedgesville
Occupation: Retired
Family: Wife Shelly, son Brady, daughter Leah Daniel (son-in-law Josh)
How Long Have You Lived In The Area: 68 years
Relevant Experience Serving The Community: Worked for the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Parks & Recreation Board for 45 years and 9 months, serving as Executive Director for 44 years
Campaign Website: Facebook page - Steve Catlett for Berkeley County Council
Why Are You Running For Office: Responsible growth and supporting the infrastructure to handle the growth, our roads, schools, law enforcement, fire & rescue, public parks, senior services are all overwhelmed by uncontrolled rapid growth - I will be a full time Councilman if elected with one motivation "do what is best to preserve the Quality of Life in our wonderful community. We must work as a team with the entire council, City officials, state and federal legislatures and strive for transparency as well as treating all members of our community with respect.
Identify The Most Pressing Issues Relevant To The Position You Are Seeking And How You Would Address Them: Responsible growth by investing more in our infrastructure that is being overwhelmed by our rapid growth. The large builders need to pay more to assist in this effort to build our roads, schools, law enforcement, fire & rescue services, as well our public park system. We need to work with state legislatures bring more fand state funding to the fastest growing countyin WV. The infrastructure bill passed by congress should provide significant funding for roads and public water and sewer needs. The "American Outdoors Act" passed by congress is providing matching funds for the of acreage and development of public space parks we so desperately need. The "Property Transfer Tax" the state has been keeping is coming back to the county's that generate these dollars and should be used to address "Quality of Life" issues. We should be allowed to charge impact fees even without county wide zoning. We must work with the state to allow for locality pay for our teachers, state workers, and local law enforcement officers. We cannot recruit quality industry like P&G until we invest in our public water and sewer facilities. We are currently not prepared to provide those services. Our residential users should not have to pay for this with higher rates. Our sheriff's department should have .8 deputies per every 1,000 residents, we are at .54 with another 30,000 more residents projected to move here over the next decade. We need quality, affordable county wide broadband. We need to improve our recycling efforts.
What Makes You Best Suited To Serve Your Constituents: I worked over 45 years in our public parks and recreation system with the goal every day of making our community a better place to live. I want to do the same as a county councilman, but in an even broader role. I developed over the years a personal relationship with both Senator Capito and Senator Manchin as well as their staff members, with our state legislatures, our local elected officials and administrators, our local businesses and organizations. We must work as a team to address these issues.
What Separates You From Other Candidates: I am retired and to not operate a business or have other interests that would influence any decisions I would make if elected for personal gain. I would make all decisions based on what I believe would be in the best interest of our community. I love this community where I was raised with 5 other siblings in the 50's and 60's, raised my family here in the 80's and 90's, but "Quality of Life" we enjoyed is diminishing rapidly because of the overwhelming growth. We must attempt to slow it down and build our infrastructure to support this growth.
How Do You Plan To Work With People Who Have Different Views Than Your Own: I would treat all members of our community with respect and listen to their concerns. We must provide better services, assisted living and opportunities to our growing senior population. We must work to better serve those with disabilities. No single person has all the answers to our growth issues. Everyone should be heard and treated with respect whether we as elected officials agree with them or not. I believe in going out into the community and listening to our resident's concerns on a regular scheduled basis. | https://www.journal-news.net/berkeley-county-council-steve-catlett/article_c3c170cf-c61b-5b7e-be0b-8815a82eb41a.html | 2022-04-24T05:25:31Z | https://www.journal-news.net/berkeley-county-council-steve-catlett/article_c3c170cf-c61b-5b7e-be0b-8815a82eb41a.html | true | 1 |

Gearbox to release new 'Tales From the Borderlands' game in 2022
April 21 (UPI) -- Gearbox confirmed Thursday that a new Tales From the Borderlands video game will be released in 2022.
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford revealed the upcoming game during the developer's Pax East 2022 panel. The game will be fully unveiled in the summer, but the first teaser image for the title was shared on social media.
"New adventure, new characters, new tales," Gearbox wrote on Twitter. "An all-new Tales From the Borderlands is coming in 2022 from Gearbox and 2K."
The first entry in the Tales From the Borderlands series was released in 2014 by Telltale Games. The game featured a story that took place between the events of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3 and followed two characters -- Rhys and Fiona -- as they searched for a vault and interacted with fan-favorite Borderlands characters like Claptrap.
Telltale Games, however, closed in October 2018 after filing for bankruptcy protection. Instead, Gearbox Software will develop the upcoming game completely in-house, with 2K Games handling the publishing.
The new Tales From the Borderlands game follows Tiny Tina's Wonderlands as Gearbox's next game in the loot-and-shoot franchise. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands came out last month and received generally favorable reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2579931560948/gearbox-to-release-new-tales-from-the-borderlands-game-in-2022 | 2022-04-24T05:40:31Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2579931560948/gearbox-to-release-new-tales-from-the-borderlands-game-in-2022 | false | 3 |
Ludhiana, April 21
Five buses, including three tourist buses, were impounded for allegedly violating the rules during a surprise checking conducted by Punjab Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar on the national highway near Doraha on Thursday. The RTA, Ludhiana, Narinder Singh Dhaliwal, was also present.
Bhullar said on the directions of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the buses are being checked. He asked all the transporters to pay the tax of their respective buses, tippers, trucks, tourist buses, etc, and ply them as per the permit.
The Transport Minister said during the checking, he also found an Indo-Canadian company bus violating the rules. He said, “This Indo-Canadian bus can ply directly from Amritsar to the Delhi airport. The driver of the bus admitted that he has picked up passengers from different stations, such as Jalandhar, Goraya, Phillaur, Ludhiana, etc. We have taken photographs of the tickets of all the passengers of the bus.” These buses have been impounded for violating the law and causing losses to the revenue of the government, he added.
He asked the transporters to operate the buses on permitted routes, pay taxes and follow the rules.

SAP - Common Is Expensive, But Look At Options
Summary
- SAP SE is a company I've been wanting to buy for some time, but other opportunities have usually presented themselves first.
- In this article, we go through SAP as a business, look at why you might want to invest in it, and establish a thesis on this NYSE-listed German giant.
- At the right price, this company has an amazing upside - however, the current thesis doesn't spell this positive thesis as especially convincing.
- Find out why in this article.
SAP SE (SAP) is a German software company founded in the early 1970s that has since become one of the premier developers of certain services and products on the planet. This should make it an interesting investment at the right price, even if we're looking at a relatively low yield, and only modest EPS growth over the past 10 years or so.
In this article, I'm going to spend some time picking apart SAP, and putting it back together with an investment stance that you could adopt for viewing this German company.
I'll also show you why contrary to most opinions here on SA, I'm not currently bullish on SAP.
(Source: SAP)
SAP - What does the company do?
Well, first of all, is that SAP is actually the world's largest non-American software company in terms of revenue. It's also the world's third-largest publicly traded software company, again by revenue, and the largest German company in terms of overall market cap.
Its history, founded as a private partnership of Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung (lit. 'System Analysis and Software Development'; SAP GbR), was fully restructured into SAP AG in 2005 and became a pan-European company known as Societas Europaea (SE) in 2014.
Its business focus is on six major sectors and twenty five industries, including process industries, discrete, consumer, service, financial, and public services/industries.
For these industries and sectors, SAP focuses on enterprise application software. Simply put, this is about making industries and companies run as well as they possibly could, through means of software integration. Lately, this has centered around IoT, machine learning, and analytics that helps turn their client companies into intelligent enterprises. The company's goal is to help its clients operate profitably, always adapt, and be able to make a difference.
The company has over 102,000 employees, serves 22,000+ client companies, has been the #1 Software company in the Dow Jones Sustainability company for 14 years running, and hosts 200M+ subscribers in their cloud user base. 77% of the world's digital transactions touch an SAP system every day, and the company's products are almost ubiquitously spread across the world.
(Source: SAP 20-F report)
The company's strategy involves bringing together business processes, asset management, travel and expenses, workforce, and platform solutions. It also offers businesses quick overviews for improvement and efficiencies. The company's experience management solutions bring together data, connecting users, customers and brands into decision-making, and these systems are based on the Intelligent Suite, which helps manage elements such as customers, employees, spend, finance, and IT, and combine this with the industry cloud.
The company is a heavy M&A business. Since the early '90s, SAP has acquired or merged with over 70 businesses - some large, and some small.
(Source: SAP 20-F Report)
This sounds incredibly complicated - so let's give this an example.
Vodafone (VOD) wanted to improve the user experience for every employee, while also giving the customers amazing service. SAP's digital system foundation based on the SAP S/4HANA platform was used across multiple company departments, like HR, procurement, finance, and more, and enabled it to optimize its business processes, operations, eliminating internal complexity thanks to higher automation and improved internal processes. Something as simple as the speed in which employees are reimbursed for expenses during travels (thanks to SAP Concur solutions expense reports), to more complex questions.
An even more hands-on example is Bridgestone (OTCPK:BRDCY). The company provides customers with tires, and they developed SAP's warehouse solutions, which included voice commands for all employees, digital warehouse/CRM management, real-time visibility of data, and so forth. The integration of SAP reduced errors by 25% - and I doubt I need to tell you that in this industry (and others), errors mean money.
So, this is what SAP does, and this is what they mean when they say "Reinventing how businesses run".
Of course, not all stories are success stories. While some of these stories are now old, they exist and tell tales of where companies like Waste Management (WM) sued SAP over ERP implementation.
Houston-based Waste Management said it is seeking recovery of more than $100 million in project expenses, as well as "the savings and benefits that the SAP software was promised to deliver to Waste Management."
(Source: Computerworld)
Speaking as someone who has some basic experience in the industry, there are some fundamental doubts amongst professionals whether ERP systems such as the ones SAP provides actually result in meaningful benefits compared to the costs and complexities they present. I, quite obviously, think these systems are worth it - but I've worked with plenty of people who consider them unnecessary or wasteful, depending on the industry.
SAP, fundamentally, however, is in a very good position. The company is A-rated, has less than 25% long-term debt/cap, and presents a dividend yield of around 2.13%. It's not great, but it's certainly not "low" when considered by some of its peers. The past few years have also brought impressive revenue and EPS growth in the double digits, and the company is expected to deliver near-double-digit EPS growth in 2021 as well.
Long-term shareholders of SAP have also been very richly rewarded. Had you invested in mid-2002, your annual RoR would have been 11.5% or 710% in just shy of 20 years - which is of course an excellent total RoR.
However, that's when the company's TAM and its relative market position were different - now the company is larger, and a repeat performance might not be possible in the same way.
The company has seen some impressive growth during COVID-19 like most IT companies have seen as a result of increasing degrees of digital and remote work. The customer count, since 2017, has more than doubled and nearly tripled, from 6,400 to 16,400 in 1Q21.
The company has lofty ambitions for its 2025 results.
(Source: SAP 20-F Report)
All in all, the company's business segments and areas make it a very safe and conservative investment, given the degree of worldwide implementation of its systems. Payment models are split in licenses and/or recurring subscription payments. There's a heavy seasonality to income, with the highest revenues coming in 4QXX, due to customers doing purchases during the year-end capital period.
Let's look at recent results for the business.
SAP - How has the company been doing?
SAP reported 2Q21 some time ago, and the results were excellent.
(Source: SAP 2Q21 presentation)
The company's growth came especially from the cloud, and the backlog for the current cloud segment went up by nearly 20% YoY, with the product-specific backlog for S/4HANA being up 48% YoY. EPS grew by 50% YoY for the quarter, and performance came in strong from almost all geographical regions.
(Source: SAP 2Q21 presentation)
The company also saw significant margin improvement across most segments, in some as high as 400bps or more. As a result of the trends, SAP raised the company's revenue and profit outlook for the full year, now expecting growth of 15-18% for FY21 in terms of cloud revenue, and overall operating profit growth of up to 4%, with an FY21 FCF of €4.5B.
Employee retention during the quarter was almost at 95% which is high for the segment and for the global situation we're in.
Overall, I see very little worry for SAP based on the quarterly results presented here. Quite the opposite, customers are continuing to partner with the company to improve its operations, and the backlog increase is the proof in the pudding here. The company's RISE initiative provided some of the advantages here, and there are plenty of examples of multi-national companies adopting SAP technology for their operations, including AMD (AMD), Coop (No Symbol), and others.
The company is increasing its share of the market compared to its peers, and 2Q21 alone saw SAP winning over 350 deals across the entire portfolio. Competitors that were beaten out include Oracle (ORCL), Workday (WDAY), and others. SAP is bigger, arguably better, and more entrenched, especially in Europe.
Growth might not be over either.
In all my conversations with customers, one thing is always clear. They are choosing us for our unique value in helping them to transform their business in this ever-changing world. I'd like to add some comments about our continued growth. We are optimistic about the future, and we have wasted our guidance today to reflect the momentum we are seeing in the market. In addition, to the progress in our core business, we are investing into new markets. This will expand our total addressable market by $150 billion to a total TAM of $600 billion by 2025.
(Source: Richard Klein, SAP 2Q21 Earnings Call)
Overall, a great quarter, and the future promises to potentially bring even more growth to the table - which should be of interest to potential investors.
It also adds massive complications to the valuation thesis. Let me show you.
SAP - What is the valuation?
Valuation for SAP is complicated here.
First off, SAP trades at a premium, not that surprising. The 10-year average premium multiple for SAP is a near-20X P/E, despite a modest 10-year growth rate of 3.8% in terms of EPS due to several flat or negative years between 2013-2016.
There's also a bit of EPS guidance uncertainty - 33% on a 2-year 10% MoE-adjusted basis, to be exact. (Source: FactSet)
While I don't believe you'll massively lose money with SAP if you invest here, the current thesis based on current expectations is somewhat complicated.
This is due to the high premium we're still seeing. It might be below what other software companies are trading at, but it's far from a "great" discount for a company with these growth expectations. SAP has gone as low as 15-16X P/E over the past 6 years, which is where I believe we want to buy the company.
At this valuation, you might not lose money, but you won't be beating the market average unless the company trades at a higher premium or improves its earnings even more than expected - not a basis I want to invest on, usually.
Current S&P Global targets for the company give us a premium target of almost $160/share on an average basis, though it's important to realize that these targets most often overshoot the average actual valuation by 10-15%.
(Source: S&P Global, Tikr.com)
So following the average targets here is a very good way to lock in a premium for this stock - and not in a good way.
I want to buy SAP at a 16-18X P/E, so I'm waiting for the stock to hit around $120-$125/share before investing. At this valuation, we could lock in a conservative annual RoR of 7-9% on a forward premium basis, and a no-loss RoR even if the stock traded flat.
Let's review.
How To Invest In SAP SE
Option 1 - Long-Term Investment
SAP could be a "BUY" here if you're willing to forego higher returns but maybe get a decent safety. I still consider it a "HOLD" though, and with a price target of around $10 below the current one.
Option 2 - Selling cash-secured Puts
Selling cash-covered put options is another good way to make money off a company while waiting for it to drop further and making money until then. Because of the company's position, and a lower price being even more appealing, this could make it perfect for a nice put.
As of writing this article, I was able to find the following put.
(Source: Author's Data, Google Sheets, Option data from IBKR/Yahoo Finance)
Here things get interesting. A nearly-10% annualized yield based on a half-year PUT contract with a 4.29% options yield and a dividend enhancement factor of over 5X. The only issue here is the capital outlay, but you'd be buying SAP at below $120/share, locking in a yield that's pretty great for the company you're buying.
If you consider the $125 strike too high, which would be understandable, the $120 strikes are available with similar data as above - but your annualized yield would drop below 8%, and dividend enhancement just north of 4X with a $3.9 premium per contract, buying SAP at around $116.
Both of these are great options, but they'd represent over 30% of my current liquid capital, so I'm not touching that. For someone where this is different though, I view these PUTS as some solid income with a great company if it drops.
Option 3 - Selling Covered Calls
I could find the following covered call for SAP here.
(Source: Author's Data, Google Sheets, Option data from IBKR/Yahoo Finance)
This would have been a great call if the premium was higher. You're putting SAP out there, willing to sell at a valuation of nearly 30X P/E on a 2022E basis, which I seriously doubt will happen. Unfortunately, with an annualized yield of barely 1.11%, it's questionable if this trade is worth it post-commissions.
Still, if I had the shares to spare, I might write a covered call here. On current estimates, I would definitely be willing to sell my SAP shares at a price of $185/share before March 18th of 2022.
Thesis
So, the current thesis for SAP is fairly simple, to my mind.
- SAP is a qualitative software business that you want to own, but own at the right price.
- You could buy the common today if you're willing to accept a premium and somewhat sub-par return potential, but I view it as a hold with a PT of $125 at the most.
- However, the March 18 '22 PUTS are appealing. If you have the cash, I view these as excellent. You could also, if you have shares of SAP, put them up for sale for $185/share until March 18th with some Covered calls to enhance your dividends by a slight amount. Not much, but something is better than nothing.
- A qualitative business at the right price, that's SAP. For now, it's a "HOLD" here for the common.
Remember, I'm all about:
1. Buying undervalued - even if that undervaluation is slight, and not mind-numbingly massive - companies at a discount, allowing them to normalize over time and harvesting capital gains and dividends in the meantime.
2. If the company goes well beyond normalization and goes into overvaluation, I harvest gains and rotate my position into other undervalued stocks, repeating #1.
3. If the company doesn't go into overvaluation, but hovers within a fair value, or goes back down to undervaluation, I buy more as time allows.
4. I reinvest proceeds from dividends, savings from work, or other cash inflows as specified in #1.
This process has allowed me to triple my net worth in less than 7 years - and that is all I intend to continue doing (even if I don't expect the same rates of return for the next few years).
If you're interested in significantly higher returns, then I'm probably not for you. If you're interested in 10% yields, I'm not for you either.
If you however want to grow your money conservatively, safely and harvest well-covered dividends while doing so, and your timeframe is 5-30 years, then I might be for you.
SAP SE is currently a "HOLD".

SYDNEY (AFP) - Australia's Defence Minister on Sunday (April 24) accused China of paying bribes for international deals, but refused to say whether corruption played a role in Beijing's newly signed defence pact with the Solomon Islands.
Mr Peter Dutton made the allegations as his conservative government faced questions in the run-up to the May 21 general election about how China apparently outmanoeuvred Australia by securing the agreement.
The deal shocked the Solomon Islands' traditional allies, Australia and the United States, which fear it may give China a military foothold in the South Pacific less than 2,000km from Australia's coast.
"The Chinese don't play by our rules," Mr Dutton said.
"If you look at what has happened in Africa, there are corrupt payments being made," he told Sky News Australia.
"We can never compete with that sort of playbook. We have values and we have the rule of law that we abide by."
Asked specifically if he believed corrupt payments were made to forge China's deal with the Solomon Islands, which was announced by Beijing on April 19, the minister said he could not comment.
"The reality is that China has changed," he added.
"China's incredibly aggressive acts of foreign interference, the preparedness to pay bribes to beat other countries to deals - that is the reality of modern China."
A draft of the pact shocked countries in the region when it was leaked last month, particularly measures that would allow Chinese naval deployments to the Solomons.
A White House delegation visited the Solomon Islands capital Honiara on Friday to warn of repercussions if China was to establish a permanent military presence in the Pacific nation under the new agreement.
The White House said the officials had told Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare that the recently signed pact had "potential regional security implications" for Washington and its allies.
"If steps are taken to establish a de facto permanent military presence, power-projection capabilities or a military installation, the delegation noted that the United States would then have significant concerns and respond accordingly," the White House said in a statement.
'No military base'
National Security Council Indo-Pacific coordinator Kurt Campbell and Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Kritenbrink led the delegation, which also included Pentagon officials.
According to the White House statement, Mr Sogavare "reiterated his specific assurances that there would be no military base, no long-term presence and no power projection capability, as he has said publicly".
Mr Sogavare's government severed ties with Taiwan in September 2019 in favour of diplomatic relations with China, unlocking investment but stoking inter-island rivalries.
Last November, protests against Mr Sogavare's rule sparked violent riots in the capital, during which much of the city's Chinatown was torched.
While the unrest was partly fuelled by poverty and unemployment, anti-China sentiment was also cited as playing a role.
When asked about China's influence in the Pacific, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison told reporters on Friday that Beijing was exerting "enormous pressure" on leaders of Pacific island nations.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian in turn accused "Australian politicians" of "coercive diplomacy" in the region. | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/australianz/australia-accuses-china-of-paying-bribes-to-win-deals | 2022-04-24T06:09:16Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/australianz/australia-accuses-china-of-paying-bribes-to-win-deals | false | 5 |

Cristian Espinoza's late goal caps hat trick at Quakes beats Sounders
Article content
Cristian Espinoza capped a hat trick with a penalty kick in second-half stoppage time as the San Jose Earthquakes rallied from a two-goal deficit to defeat the visiting Seattle Sounders 4-3 Saturday night.
Jackson Yueill also scored for the Earthquakes (1-4-3, six points), who earned their first victory of the season in interim coach Alex Covelo’s MLS debut.
The Earthquakes, who dismissed coach Matias Almeyda on Monday, also snapped an eight-game winless streak (0-4-4) to the Sounders at home.

Nicolas Lodeiro had a goal and two assists for the Sounders (2-4-1, seven points). Cristian Roldan and Jordan Morris also tallied.
The winner came after a video review determined Seattle defender Nouhou pushed Francisco Calvo to the ground during a corner kick. Espinoza put the penalty kick into the upper right corner of the net.
Trailing 3-1 midway through the second half, the Earthquakes tied it with two goals in less than a minute.
Espinoza scored his second of the game in the 64th minute on a shot from outside the 18-yard box on the right wing that somehow skipped over Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei’s shoulder at the near post.
Just after the ensuing kickoff, San Jose’s Jamiro Monteiro stole a pass to start a three-on-two breakaway. Monteiro sent a pass to Espinoza on the right wing and he immediately fed the ball back to Monteiro in the penalty box. He centered the ball to Yueill for an easy one-timer from the top of the 6-yard box past a stunned Seattle defense.

Lodeiro gave the Sounders a 1-0 lead on a penalty kick in the 14th minute after a video review determined Raul Ruidiaz was brought down in the 18-yard box by San Jose’s Nathan Cardoso.
The Sounders made it 2-0 in the 20th minute on a free kick as Lodeiro’s cross found Roldan alone at the top of the 6-yard box for a header.
Espinoza pulled the Earthquakes within 2-1 in first-half stoppage time. His original shot from about 10 yards out was blocked by defender Nouhou, but Espinoza volleyed the rebound over Frei from the top of the 6-yard box.
The Sounders restored their two-goal advantage in the 57th minute. Ruidiaz fed Lodeiro on the left wing and his cross was redirected into the net by Morris from a couple of yards out.

Beijing, April 20
A health official says four million more people in Shanghai have been allowed to leave their homes as anti-coronavirus quarantine rules ease.
The official, Wang Ganyu, said Wednesday almost 12 million people were allowed to leave their homes as China's most populous city tries to contain virus outbreaks.
Authorities imposed rules that confined most of Shanghai's 25 million people to their homes starting March 28 following a surge in infections. China's case numbers in its latest infection surge are relatively low, but the ruling Communist Party is enforcing a “zero-Covid” strategy that has shut down major cities to isolate every case. — AP

Pitso Mosimane’s success is just continuing to be unbelievable. The Al Ahly coach has led his Egyptian side to the CAFCL semi-finals after dumping out Moroccan giants Raja Casablanca.
The quarter-final round began with a narrow 2-1 over Raja last weekend in Cairo, before the job was finished in Morocco with a 1-1 result.

Chatting to the media after the game, Pitso Mosiamne said: It was a tough game. We respected Raja very much, and we were the best throughout the two games,” the South African said via KingFut.
“We wasted a penalty in Cairo and another in Casablanca, so there is no question about our abilities.
“Until the last minute, we were the best and close to winning if it weren’t for Mohamed Sherif’s wasted chance.

“We need to improve the finishing touch, yet we are confident in our ability to go forward.
“We have proven today that we know how to play the CAF Champions League matches,” he added.
The DStv Premiership champions were high favourites to lift their second CAF Champions League title until a shock quarter-final defeat at the hands of Angola’s Pedro de Luanda on Saturday.
The last four will be dominated by North African sides in Ahly of Egypt, Tunisia’s ES Setif as well as Morocco’s Wydad Casablanca. Read the full story here.

Former NFL Investor Fowler Will Plead Guilty to Fraud in Crypto Case
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- A former investor in the National Football League’s Minnesota Vikings will plead guilty to fraud over an unlicensed banking operation for cryptocurrency traders, his lawyer told a federal judge.
Reginald Fowler will enter an “open plea,” meaning he will plead without having reached a sentencing agreement with prosecutors, attorney Edward Sapone told the court in a filing late Thursday in federal court in Manhattan. He will plead guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy to commit bank fraud and operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business.
“Every case must be evaluated individually,” Sapone said in an email. “There is a freedom attached to this anticipated open plea that will empower us to tell Reggie’s unique truth in a way that otherwise would be handcuffed by a traditional plea agreement.”
Fowler had rejected a deal with prosecutors that would have allowed him to plead guilty to a single count. Under that agreement, the government had required him to give up as much as $371 million held in more than 50 accounts.

Prosecutors alleged in a February 2020 indictment that the Arizona businessman told banks he was opening accounts for real estate transactions, when he knew they would be used to move funds for cryptocurrency exchanges. The arrangement shunted hundreds of millions of dollars through the U.S. financial system and allowed the exchanges to avoid money-laundering safeguards that apply to licensed financial institutions, according to the government.
Fowler was also charged with defrauding people associated with a professional sports league by trying to buy a stake in the league using illegally obtained funds. Though prosecutors didn’t identify the league, the timing and details matched up with Fowler’s reported investment in the Alliance of American Football, an upstart rival to the NFL that shut down in April 2019 after only eight weeks of play.
Fowler tried to buy the Vikings for $600 million in 2005 but settled for minority ownership when he couldn’t come up with the cash. His involvement with the team ended in 2014.
The case is U.S. v. Fowler, 19-cr-254, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Atlanta rapper Archie Eversole was fatally shot in the face as he slept TMZ reports. The 37-year-old Eversole died after the shooting. According to the police report, which was viewed by TMZ, Eversole told police his bedroom door was kicked open and he woke up to a gunshot to his face on March 25. While he said he couldn’t see who shot him at the time, his brother Alexander Krause has since been charged with murder in connection with the shooting. When police found Eversole at a gas station following the shooting, he was asked if the shooter was still in his home, and he confirmed they were. Police asked him if he knew the identity of the shooter, but he initially wouldn’t answer and then began fading in and out of consciousness. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2579933105343/no-survivors-after-fiery-plane-crash-in-covington | 2022-04-24T06:54:06Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2579933105343/no-survivors-after-fiery-plane-crash-in-covington | true | null |

Judge blocks Montana's transgender birth certificate law
HELENA, Mont. — (AP) — A Montana judge on Thursday temporarily blocked enforcement of a law that required transgender people to have undergone a “surgical procedure” before being allowed to change their sex on their birth certificates.
The law was part of a growing list of Republican-controlled states including Alabama that have moved to restrict transgender rights as they gain more visibility in culture and society.
In Montana, District Judge Michael Moses of Billings ruled the law is unconstitutionally vague because it does not specify what surgical procedure must be performed. The law also required transgender people to obtain a court order indicating they'd had a surgical procedure.
Because he could grant the temporary injunction based on the vagueness issue, Moses said he did not further analyze the constitutionality of the law.
“We are thrilled that the court recognized the substantial and unnecessary burdens this law places upon transgender individuals in violation of their constitutional rights,” said Akilah Lane, staff attorney at the ACLU of Montana.
The plaintiffs — Amelia Marquez of Billings and a transgender man who is not identified in court records — wanted to change the sex on their birth certificates without undergoing costly surgical procedures.
Both argue having a birth certificate that does not match their gender identity puts them at risk of embarrassment, discrimination, harassment or violence if they are asked to provide their birth certificate.
Marquez has undertaken hormone therapy and legally changed her name. Having a birth certificate that does not match her gender identity puts her at higher risk of harassment, hostility and discrimination, the lawsuit said.
“Plaintiffs provided unrebutted evidence describing that neither gender-affirming surgery nor any other medical treatment that a transgender person undergoes changes that person’s sex,” Moses wrote. “Instead, gender-affirming surgery aligns a person’s body and lived in experience with the person’s gender identity, which already exists.”
The temporary injunction remains in place until the full case is decided.
Before the 2021 Legislature passed the challenged law, transgender residents seeking to change their birth certificate needed only to provide an affidavit to the state health department. The temporary injunction puts that process back in place.
Republican state Sen. Carl Glimm, who sponsored the legislation, has argued that the health department overstepped its authority in changing the designation on a birth certificate from “sex” to “gender” and then setting rules for how it could be changed.
The office of Attorney General Austin Knudsen, which is defending the state in this case, did not immediately respond to an email seeking to learn if the state planned to appeal the injunction.

WASHINGTON: UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres discussed the ongoing flare-up of tensions around Jerusalem’s holy sites in separate calls Saturday with the Israeli prime minister and Palestinian president.
In statements released after both calls, the UN said Guterres discussed “efforts to lower tensions, end provocations and unilateral steps, and restore calm”.
More than 200 people, mostly Palestinians, have been wounded over the past week in clashes in and around the Al-Aqsa compound, a holy site for both Muslims and Jews.

Palestinians have been outraged by a massive Israeli police deployment and repeated visits by Jews to the holy site, which is governed through a tenuous power-sharing agreement.
Guterres “reiterated that the status quo at the Holy Sites must be upheld and respected,” both statements read.
The clashes at Al-Aqsa come amid a wave of deadly violence, which has sparked fears of a wider conflict.
Rocket launches from the Gaza Strip on Wednesday and Thursday prompted retaliatory strikes from Israel.

PARIS (AP) — France began voting in a presidential runoff election Sunday with repercussions for Europe’s future, with centrist incumbent Emmanuel Macron the front-runner but fighting a tough challenge from far-right rival Marine Le Pen.
The centrist Macron is asking voters to trust him for a second five-year term despite a presidency troubled by protests, the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. A Macron victory in this vote would make him the first French president in 20 years to win a second term.
The result of voting in France, a nuclear-armed nation with one of the world’s biggest economies, could also impact the conflict in Ukraine, as France has played a key role in diplomatic efforts and support for sanctions against Russia.
Le Pen’s support in France’s electorate has grown during this campaign to her highest level ever, and much will depend Sunday on how many people turn out to vote. Many of those expected to choose Macron are doing so to keep out Le Pen and ideas seen as too extreme and anti-democratic, such as her plan to ban the Muslim headscarf in public, or her ties to Russia.
Both candidates are trying to court the 7.7 million votes of a leftist candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon, defeated in the first vote.
For many who voted for left-wing candidates in the first round April 10, this runoff vote presents a unpalatable choice between a nationalist in Le Pen, and a president who some feel has veered to the right during his first term. The outcome could depend on how left-wing voters make up their minds: between backing Macron or abstaining and leaving him to fend for himself against Le Pen.
All opinion polls in recent days converge toward a win for the 44-year-old pro-European centrist — yet the margin over his 53-year-old nationalist rival varies broadly, from 6 to 15 percentage points, depending on the poll. Polls also forecast a possibly record-high number of people who will either cast a blank vote or not vote at all.
Earlier this week, Macron took the gloves in a two-hour-45-minute debate -- the last of the campaign -- tearing into his far-right challenger as he seeks the votes he needs to win.
Le Pen has sought to appeal to working class voters struggling with surging prices amid the fallout of Russia’s war in Ukraine -- an approach that even Macron acknowledged has found resonance in the wider public. She said bringing down the cost of living would be her priority if elected as France’s first woman president, and she portrayed herself as the candidate for voters unable to make ends meet.
She says that Macron’s presidency has left the country deeply divided. She has repeatedly referenced the so-called yellow vest protest movement that rocked his government before the COVID-19 pandemic, with months of violent demonstrations against his economic policies that some thought hurt the poorest.
France’s presidential campaign has been especially challenging for voters of immigrant heritage and religious minorities. Polling suggests that much of France’s Muslim population — the largest in Western Europe — voted for far left candidates in the first round, so their voice could be decisive.
Macron has also touted his environmental and climate accomplishments in a bid to draw in young voters popular with far left candidates. Citizens and especially millennials voted in droves for Melenchon. Many young voters are particularly engaged with climate issues.
Although Macron was associated with the slogan “Make The Planet Great Again,” in his first five-year term, he capitulated to angry yellow vest protesters by scrapping a tax hike on fuel prices. Macron has said his next prime minister would be placed in charge of environmental planning as France seeks to become carbon neutral by 2050.
Le Pen, once considered a climate-change skeptic, wants to scrap subsidies for renewable energies. She vowed to dismantle windfarms and invest in nuclear and hydro energy.

Slovenia opens polling places for parliamentary elections
By ANI | Published: April 24, 2022 12:19 PM2022-04-24T12:19:04+5:302022-04-24T12:30:02+5:30
Polling places have been opened in Slovenia for the National Assembly elections, with nearly 1.7 million people eligible to cast their ballots, the State Election Commission announced on Sunday.
Polling places have been opened in Slovenia for the National Assembly elections, with nearly 1.7 million people eligible to cast their ballots, the State Election Commission announced on Sunday.
Of 90 lawmakers in the Slovenian National Assembly, 88 are elected in eight 11-seat constituencies by open list proportional representation. Two remaining lawmakers are chosen by the Italian and Hungarian minorities. The voting kicked off at 07:00 local time (05:00 GMT) and will be completed at 19:00 (17:00 GMT).
"There are 1,695,766 people eligible to vote, including 106,753 located abroad," the election commission said.
Slovenia has already held early voting from April 19-21, with 130,151 citizens casting their ballots, which accounts for 7.67% of all voters.
Over 20 political blocs and parties are competing for parliamentary seats in Slovenia, including the ruling right-wing Slovenian Democratic Party (SDP) headed by incumbent Prime Minister Janez Jansa and the centre-left Freedom Movement formally known as the Green Actions Party and led by Robert Golob, which are considered as the front runners. The latest opinion polls dated April 22 showed that neither of the parties would secure an absolute majority, yet the Freedom Movement would win with 27% of the votes, while the SDP would receive 23.5%.

New Mexico faces a long and potentially devastating wildfire season, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said Saturday, as Southwestern wildfires cause destruction and force people from their homes.
Hundreds of structures were lost in a growing number of wind-driven blazes across drought-stricken New Mexico, Lujan Grisham said Saturday.
Over 20 active wildfires were burning in at least 16 of the state's 33 counties, in the wake of winds that gusted up to 90 mph (145 kph) on Friday, Lujan said during a briefing streamed online. "So half the state has a fire issue."
With so many fires burning in April, well before the normal May or June start of the wildfire season, "our risk season is incredibly and dangerously early," Lujan Grisham said.
Wildfire has become a year-round threat in the West given changing conditions that include earlier snowmelt and rain coming later in the fall, scientist have said. The problems have been exacerbated by decades of fire suppression and poor management along with a more than 20-year megadrought that studies link to human-caused climate change.
New Mexico as of Saturday had the most major wildfires burning of any state, though neighboring Arizona also had large fires that included one that burned 30 homes near Flagstaff on Tuesday.
Winds and temperatures in New Mexico diminished Saturday but remained strong enough to still fan fires, and dozens of evacuation orders remained in place.
Over 200 structures have burned, Lujan Grisham said, not providing specifics on locations or the numbers of homes included in that count.
With fires still burning and charred areas too dangerous to enter, "it's not safe for you or us to have a complete assessment to date," she said, indicating that the number of lost structures would rise.
She appealed to residents to refrain from using fireworks or burning trash and to evacuate when fire warnings are issued. "You need to leave. The risks are too great," she said.
The largest blazes were concentrated in northern New Mexico, where two major fires merged and numerous villages were threatened by advancing flames as residents heeded calls to leave.
Maggie Mulligan said Friday her dogs could sense the panic while she and her husband packed them up, agonized over having to leave horses behind and fled a fast-moving wildfire barreling toward their home.
"We don't know what's next," she said. "We don't know if we can go back to the horses."
Mulligan and her husband, Bill Gombas, 67, were among the anxious residents who hurriedly evacuated their homes Friday ahead of ominous wildfires fueled by tinder-dry conditions and ferocious winds.
The merged fires burned some structures but no figures were available, said fire information officer Mike Johnson. "They were able to save some structures and we know we lost other structures that we weren't able to defend."
Wind-blown clouds of dust and plumes of smoke obscured the skies near the fires, said Jesus Romero, assistant county manager for San Miguel County. "All the ugliness that spring in New Mexico brings — that's what they're dealing in."
An estimated 500 homes in San Miguel were in rural areas of Mora and San Miguel counties covered by evacuation orders or warning notices, Romero said.
Elsewhere in the region, the fire danger in the Denver area on Friday was the highest it had been in over a decade, according to the National Weather Service, because of unseasonable temperatures in the 80s combined with strong winds and very dry conditions.
Lena Atencio and her husband, whose family has lived in the nearby Rociada area for five generations, got out Friday as winds kicked up. She said most people were taking the threat seriously.
"As a community, as a whole, everybody is just pulling together to support each other and just take care of the things we need to now. And then at that point, it's in God's hands," she said as the wind howled miles away in the community of Las Vegas, New Mexico, where evacuees were gathering.
Areas ordered Saturday to evacuate because of another large fire still growing in northern New Mexico included Philmont Scout Ranch. Meanwhile, the nearby town of Cimarron remained on notice for possible evacuation, according to Colfax County officials.
The scout ranch, owned and operated by the Boy Scouts of America, attracts thousands of summer visitors, but officials said no scouts were on the property and staff were previously evacuated because of poor air quality.
The Flagstaff-area fire also burned numerous other buildings when the flames blew through rural neighborhoods Tuesday.
A shift in wind had crews working Saturday to keep the fire from moving up mountain slopes or toward homes in rural neighborhoods near areas that burned Tuesday, fire information officer Dick Fleishman said. "It has got us a little concerned."

BREMERHAVEN, Germany (STUDYFINDS.ORG) — Plastic pollution in the Arctic is as bad as anywhere else on Earth, warns a new study. Debris from fabrics, personal care products, packaging and other everyday materials is flooding the pristine wilderness. Carried north by waves, winds and rivers, there are high concentrations of these plastic items and microplastic fibers on the seafloor, remote beaches, and even in ice and snow.
It has serious implications. The Arctic is the planet’s “air conditioner,” regulating temperatures and circulating ocean currents. It is warming three times faster than the rest of the world, with parts melting at an alarming rate. The phenomenon could worsen climate change.
“The Arctic is still assumed to be a largely untouched wilderness,” says lead author Dr. Melanie Bergmann, of Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute, in a statement. “In our review, which we jointly conducted with colleagues from Norway, Canada and the Netherlands, we show this perception no longer reflects the reality. Our northernmost ecosystems are already particularly hard hit by climate change. This is now exacerbated by plastic pollution. And our own research has shown the pollution continues to worsen.”
The study in the journal Nature Reviews Earth & Environment finds the numbers speak for themselves.
Today, between 19 and 23 million metric tons of plastic litter end up in the waters of the world every year, equivalent to two truckloads per minute. It accumulates in the oceans and gradually breaks down into ever smaller pieces, even entering the human bloodstream through the seafood we eat. Marine organisms from plankton to sperm whales consume plastic by mistake. Global production is expected to double by 2045.
It’s all-pervasive, stretching from the deepest ocean trenches to the tropics — and even Mount Everest.
Microplastics have been shown to harm wildlife, but the impact on people is not known. Laboratory tests show they do damage human cells. Fibers from acrylic and polyester clothes are shed in huge numbers during washing, about 700,000 per cycle.
The latest analysis paints the grimmest picture to date. The sparsely populated Arctic shows a similar level of pollution as dense towns and cities around the globe. This includes virtually all habitats, from beaches through layers of the water column to the seabed. The Atlantic, the North Sea and the North Pacific over the Bering Strait were identified as major sources.
The Arctic Ocean makes up only one percent of the total volume of the world’s seas, but receives more than 10 percent of water discharge from rivers. They carry plastic into the ocean. When seawater off the coast of Siberia, for example, freezes in the autumn suspended microplastic becomes trapped in the ice. A current known as the Transpolar Drift transports the ice floes to Fram Strait between Greenland and Svalbard where it melts in the summer, releasing its plastic cargo.
Some of the most important local sources of pollution are municipal waste and wastewater from Arctic communities. Others are ships, especially fishing vessels whose nets and ropes pose a serious problem. Either intentionally dumped or unintentionally lost, they account for a large share of the plastic in the European sector of the Arctic.
A study by the same team found on one beach on Svalbard, almost 100 percent of the plastic mass washed ashore came from fisheries.
“Unfortunately, there are very few studies on the effects of the plastic on marine organisms in the Arctic. But there is evidence that the consequences there are similar to those in better-studied regions,” says Bergmann. “In the Arctic, too, many animals – polar bears, seals, reindeer and seabirds – become entangled in plastic and die. In the Arctic, too, unintentionally ingested microplastic likely leads to reduced growth and reproduction, to physiological stress and inflammations in the tissues of marine animals, and even runs in the blood of humans.”
The available data on potential feedback effects between plastic debris and climate change is particularly thin. “Here, there is an urgent need for further research,” she adds. “Initial studies indicate trapped microplastic changes the characteristics of sea ice and snow.”
Dark particles, for instance, could mean the ice absorbs more sunlight and therefore melts more rapidly. Known as the ‘albedo affect’, this can intensify global warming. Moreover, plastic particles in the atmosphere provide condensation for clouds and rain – which could influence the weather and even climate. Throughout their lifecycle, plastics are currently responsible for 4.5 percent of global greenhouse-gas emissions.
“Our review shows the levels of plastic pollution in the Arctic match those of other regions around the world,” says Bergmann. “This concurs with model simulations that predict an additional accumulation zone in the Arctic. But the consequences might be even more serious. As climate change progresses, the Arctic is warming three times faster than the rest of the world. Consequently, the plastic flood is hitting ecosystems that are already seriously strained.”https://fa8f8d158dc91772aed1c067770ccc0f.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html
She welcomed the resolution for a global plastic treaty, passed at the UN Environment Assembly in February, as an important first step. “In the course of the negotiations over the next two years, effective, legally binding measures must be adopted including reduction targets in plastic production,” she notes. “In this regard, the European countries including Germany must cut their plastic output, just as the rich Arctic States have to reduce pollution from local sources and improve the often virtually non-existent waste and wastewater management in their communities. In addition, more regulation and controls are called for – with regard to plastic debris from international shipping, and fisheries.”
The study adds to evidence that the world’s smallest ocean, spanning 6.1 million square miles, is critical in the climate change crisis. It encircles the Arctic and flows beneath it. Most is covered by ice throughout the year, although that is starting to change as temperatures climb.
Pale and stark on the surface, the ocean is home to a stunning array of life. Scientists are in a race against time to understand how the waters are altering. The U.S., Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Russia all have territories that reach into them.
About four million people live in the Arctic, many indigenous groups who have thrived there for millennia. To survive in the harsh climate, they rely on the ocean’s bounty to sustain their livelihoods. This includes fishing, sealing, whaling and other activities. The otherworldly landscapes are also increasingly drawing tourists.

A horizontal channel or sideways trend has the appearance of a rectangle pattern. It consists of at least four contact points. This is because it needs at least two lows to connect, as well as two highs. Buying and selling pressure is equal, and the prevailing direction of price action is sideways.
Horizontal channels provide a clear and systematic way to trade by providing buy and sell points. When the price hits the top of the channel, sell your existing long position or take a short position. The difference between the other two is that a horizontal channel is characterized as having equal highs and lows.
Currently, the price of DOT is $19.01. If the pattern continues, the price of DOT might reach the resistance level of $20.28 and the buy level of DOT is $19.53. If the trend reverses, then the price of DOT may fall to $18.06 and the sell level of DOT is $18.76.

Move Over Bitcoin – Is Shiba Inu The Next Crypto Gold?
Is Bitcoin ready to throw in the towel and allow Shiba Inu to snag its crypto gold status?
Not likely.
But, anything can happen.
If you want a more reliable and stable trade then go for the kings of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
These two leading cryptocurrencies have been consistently moving on an upward trend for the past two years.
However, Shiba Inu is getting more attention for its recent remarkable increase in market value at 0.12%. Was it just a lucky streak or is Shiba Inu primed to be the next crypto gold?

Shiba Inu Gains More Traction
Why is Shiba Inu gaining that instant fame threatening the post of Bitcoin and Ethereum? Well, the Dogecoin killer Shiba Inu (SHIB) has performed way beyond the standards of a top-performing asset.
The standard is around the figures of 2,000% or a little higher. However, Shiba Inu was able to surpass that in 2021.
In fact, not even Bitcoin or Ethereum was able to reach that pinnacle of sorts. That humongous one-year gain by SHIB was enough for traders and crypto enthusiasts to compare Shiba Inu with Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Despite the criticisms and naysayers, SHIB was able to go beyond the expectations of many.
What makes SHIB more robust than ever in 2021 is the fact that it has worked doubly hard to increase its visibility to its target market.
SHIB has amassed great profits in the past two years. It was able to increase its market liquidity and capitalization. The popular vote on the SHIB fence has also increased its following and investors. In fact, the SHIB community has grown so rapidly to more than 1 million.
SHIB – The Most-Searched Crypto in 2021
Shiba Inu is also regarded as the most-searched crypto last year. It has clearly outperformed Bitcoin in terms of popularity and market value.
It might be an issue of having too much information regarding Bitcoin and Ethereum. Clearly, SHIB is enjoying the spotlight and looks ready to ‘bark’ louder.
According to Google Trends, the demand for Bitcoin has died down a bit in the past couple of months.
Shiba Inu has dropped to 4% which gives more opportunity for a buy-in before the prices go up.
The token’s relative strength index (RSI) is now below 50. Buying SHIB now will help crypto aficionados have that vantage point once the prices rebound.

In Bitcoin Perpetual Future (BTC) price analysis on April 24, 2022, we use price patterns, and the Moving Average of BTC to analyze the future movement of the cryptocurrency.
A perpetual contract is similar to a futures contract, which allows a person to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined date for a specified price. Perpetual contracts are gaining popularity in crypto because they allow traders to hold leveraged positions without the burden of an expiration date.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Cryptocurrency giant Bitcoin (BTC) operates free of any central control or the oversight of banks or governments. Instead, it relies on peer-to-peer software and cryptography. A public ledger records all Bitcoin transactions and copies are held on servers around the world. Every transaction is publicly broadcast to the network and shared from node to node. Every ten minutes or so these transactions are collected together by miners into a group called a block and added permanently to the blockchain.
Bitcoin can be exchanged for cash just like any asset. There are numerous cryptocurrency exchanges online where people can do this but transactions can also be carried out in person or over any communications platform, allowing even small businesses to accept Bitcoin.
When Bitcoin was first launched it was possible to almost instantaneously mine a coin using even a basic computer. Miners also choose which transactions to bundle into a block, so fees of varying amounts are added by the sender as an incentive.
Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis
BTC price analysis on April 24, 2022, is explained below with an hourly time frame.
Ascending channel patterns or rising channels are short-term bullish in that a stock moves higher within an ascending channel. But these patterns often form within longer-term downtrends as continuation patterns. It is formed from two positive sloping trend lines drawn above and below a price series depicting resistance and support levels respectively. To construct an ascending channel pattern, an analyst should draw the lower line first, called the trendline, that touches at least two lows. Then a higher line is drawn in parallel to the first line across at least two highs. An ascending channel is an uptrend that moves between very accurate limits.
Currently, the price of BTC is $39750.12. If the pattern continues, the price of BTC might reach the resistance level of $48316.69 and the buy level of BTC is $44819.53. If the trend reverses, then the price of BTC may fall to $33155.06.

It was the biggest game Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving ever played as teammates, the weight of their Brooklyn experiment hanging in the balance.
And like a 39-year-old Brooklyn hipster in a basement apartment with a Harvard degree, they underachieved.
What a sad way to go out. Durant and Irving each had a measly 16 points in Saturday’s 109-103 loss to the Celtics, leaving the Nets in a 3-0 hole in the first round. As you know, zero NBA teams have overcome that deficit. These Nets, lacking backbone or smart adjustments in this series, don’t look like the team to break that streak.
“Just a sh—ty game, man,” Durant said. “A sh—ty game.”
They lost at home Saturday, lost when it mattered most, lost when they had two off-days to figure out a scheme for Boston’s swarming defense. The Brooklyn disaster ended with the crowd chanting “Let’s Go Celtics” and “MVP” for Jayson Tatum, who was the only true star on either roster with 39 points.
It demonstrated that all that stuff the Nets downplayed actually matters. The regular season, for instance, matters. The Nets treated it as an afterthought until the end, and were forced to give heavy and intense minutes down the stretch to Irving and Durant. Guess who has looked tired in this series? Coach Steve Nash also blamed the fatigue on Irving fasting on Ramadan. The coach didn’t mention a major reason the Nets had to fight for a spot in the play-in tournament — because Irving refused to get vaccinated.
Coaching also matters. Nash was hired with no coaching experience for a win-now window, and he has been outclassed by Celtics coach Ime Udoka. Instead of finding Durant better looks Saturday, the former MVP was even less involved. He was mostly a decoy in the first half while playing off the ball, and then struggled to create any space when presented the opportunity. Durant managed just 11 shots, or eight fewer than teammate Bruce Brown. It was a bizarre strategy and counterintuitive to carrying one of the NBA’s greatest players on the roster.
Durant said he devised the plan after watching film of his disappointing performances in Game 1 and 2.
“The first two games I was trying to be too aggressive. And watching film, a lot of my teammates were open,” Durant said. “My approach to this game was to play off everyone. Get into the flow of the offense and let the ball find me.
“I’ve just been thinking too much this whole series, to be honest.”
Durant was second-guessing himself. Nash never changed the game plan.
“Maybe that was the wrong decision,” Durant said. “Maybe I should’ve been more aggressive to score.”
Roster construction also matters. GM Sean Marks traded for a player, Ben Simmons, with a history of back problems who hadn’t logged a single minute this season. Simmons was again in street clothes Saturday, apparently ready to make his Nets debut in Game 4. Two days too late. Simmons’ entire season has been a painstaking “ramp-up,” a word often used by Nash and now difficult to disassociate with a stair ramp for fragile folks with walkers.
“They’re just bigger than us,” Durant said about the Celtics.
Simmons, by the way, is 6-10.
For all the praise heaped on Marks, the reality is he owns just one playoff series victory in six-plus years as the GM. Billy King accomplished the same for the Nets in fewer seasons. Marks sacrificed his “culture” to appease Durant and Irving, throwing Kenny Atkinson to the curb and overseeing an environment James Harden wanted desperately to ditch.
Now Marks is into his third season after signing Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. It hasn’t gone according to plan.

Clinton Lawyer Scrambling to Hide Hillary Tweet
Five-and-a-half years ago, then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton tweeted an unsubstantiated allegation against her opponent, Donald Trump.
Fast forward to today, and the tweet has become a potential piece of evidence in the trial of one of her lawyers, according to The Gazette.
Democratic cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussman was indicted in September.
When Sussman repeated false accusations of an improper relationship between the Trump Organization and Russia to the FBI general counsel in September 2016, he allegedly hid the fact that he worked for the Clinton campaign.
This is problematic because a Clinton campaign staffer would have a particular interest in any information that could harm her opponent. Instead of admitting his conflict of interest, Sussman allegedly concealed it from the FBI.
Sussman has pleaded not guilty to the crime, and he is slated to stand trial in May, The Gazette reported.
Special counsel John Durham asked the federal court last week to allow a 2016 tweet from Clinton to be admitted as evidence in the trial. In the tweet, Clinton pushed the same debunked claims Sussman took to the FBI.
“It’s time for Trump to answer serious questions about his ties to Russia,” Clinton wrote.
A screen shot attached to the tweet accused the Trump Organization of having a “secret server to communicate with Russian Alfa Bank.”

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 31, 2016
The accusation about a connection between the Trump Organization and Alfa-Bank has been debunked in investigations by the FBI, CIA, special counsel Robert Mueller, the Senate Intelligence Committee and Durham.
Durham said his goal in presenting the tweet as evidence would be to “show the existence of the defendant’s attorney-client relationship with the Clinton Campaign, which is directly relevant to the false statement charge.”
Durham argued the tweet should not be considered inadmissible hearsay because “it is not being offered for its truth.” Sussman’s lawyers disputed that reasoning.
“The Tweet — which Mr. Sussmann did not author, issue, authorize, or even know about — is irrelevant, prejudicial, and would only confuse and distract the jury from the single false statement charge it must decide,” the defense attorney said, according to The Gazette.
Durham alleged Sussman “communicated with the media and provided them with the [Alfa-Bank] data and allegations” and told Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias about it. Meanwhile, Durham said Elias “communicated with the Clinton Campaign’s leadership about potential media coverage of these issues.”
He believes that Clinton’s tweet, along with other evidence to be presented at the trial, will prove Sussman and other Clinton agents were “assembling and disseminating the [Alfa-Bank] allegations and other derogatory information about Trump and his associates to the media and the U.S. government,” which he says constitutes a joint venture.
Sussman’s trial could very well implicate other Clinton agents beyond himself. It remains to be seen who will face consequences.

Russia to Deploy Sarmat Missiles by Autumn in ‘Historic’ Nuclear Upgrade
Story Code : 990764
Dmitry Rogozin, head of Russia’s space agency Roscosmos, said in an interview with the Rossiya 24 TV channel on Saturday that the target deployment date for the Sarmat missile, which is capable of mounting nuclear strikes against the United States, is an ambitious one.
“We plan to do it no later than autumn,” he said.
Rogozin went on to say that the missiles would be deployed with a unit in the Krasnoyarsk region of Siberia, about 3,000 km (1,860 miles) east of Moscow, adding that they would be placed at the same sites and in the same silos as the Soviet-era Voyevoda missiles they are replacing, something that would save “colossal resources and time.”
He also said the launch of the Russian “super weapon” is an historic event that would guarantee the security of Russia’s children and grandchildren for the next 30-40 years.
Russia successfully test-launched the Sarmat missile, a long-awaited addition to the country’s nuclear arsenal, from a silo launcher in Plesetsk State on April 21.
Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated the army on the successful launch of the Sarmat, calling it “a big, significant event” for Russia’s defense industry.
He also said the unique weapon has the highest tactical and technical characteristics and is capable of overcoming all modern means of anti-missile defense, adding that it would make Moscow’s enemies “think twice.”
The Sarmat is capable of carrying 10 or more nuclear warheads and decoys, and of striking targets thousands of miles away in the United States or Europe.
The test of the Sarmat, which has been under development for years, came at a moment of extreme geopolitical tension over the war in Ukraine. | https://www.islamtimes.org/en/news/990764/russia-to-deploy-sarmat-missiles-by-autumn-in-historic-nuclear-upgrade | 2022-04-24T08:10:48Z | https://www.islamtimes.org/en/news/990764/russia-to-deploy-sarmat-missiles-by-autumn-in-historic-nuclear-upgrade | true | 1 |

Prince Harry & Prince Charles Haven't Spoken Since Their 'Awkward But Cordial' Meeting Last Week, Claims Source
While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's secret visit to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles last week made some believe the family was working on mending ties, a source divulged to The Mirror that the Duke of Sussex, 37, and his father, 73, haven't had any communication since.
One insider told the outlet that the meeting on Thursday, April 14, was "cordial but slightly awkward," and it reportedly lasted for a mere 15 minutes.
Article continues below advertisement
Some believe the gathering was Harry's way of getting back into the good graces of his brood, and it seems to have worked, as he's been invited to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebration in June.
"Harry loved seeing his grandmother again and he is acutely aware of her advancing years," said a source. "He is desperate for [daughter Lilibet ] to meet her great-grandmother and for Archie to see her again now [that] he is likely to enjoy and remember the event."
Article continues below advertisement
In an NBC interview that aired on Tuesday, April 20, the dad-of-two explained that he's doing his best to try and see if his California-based family can attend the Jubilee, but issues like personal security have to be worked out first.
Article continues below advertisement
"Harry is certainly in favor of going, so naturally plans are being put in place for him to make the trip should he want to confirm. There is the issue of security and the ongoing court case which needs to be sorted out," another insider shared. "Previously it was a red line for Harry but there might be a resolution in the offering. Everything will hinge on that, but Harry loves seeing his grandmother and wants to spend time with her and his family."
A source shared with The Sun that Charles actually invited Harry, Meghan, and their two kids to stay with him if they do come out to the U.K. this summer.
And if Harry does, Charles will likely use their time together to discuss the contents of the former's upcoming book, as he announced last year that he'll be releasing a "truthful" memoir sometime in the fall. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2580548030126/prince-harry-prince-charles-haven-t-spoken-since-their-awkward-but-cordial-meeting-last-week-claims-source | 2022-04-24T08:20:52Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2580548030126/prince-harry-prince-charles-haven-t-spoken-since-their-awkward-but-cordial-meeting-last-week-claims-source | false | 1 |

Five outcomes we’d love to see during the Blue & Gold game for Notre Dame
The culmination of the spring football season is upon us, the Blue and Gold game is set to be on our screens and for some of us, in the stands of Notre Dame Stadium. For the most part all the work these players have put in has been behind the scenes, but now, they emerge from the shadows of Irish Athletic Complex and give us a sneak peak of what’s to come this fall. Here are five outcomes we’d love to see come out of the spring.
Contact/Follow us @IrishWireND on Twitter, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Notre Dame news, notes, and opinions.
Follow Mike on Twitter: @MikeFChen
A quarterback set up and take the #1 spot
The Irish played three quarterbacks last year and while Jack Coan did a great job, once again heading into the season, there will be a new starter at the position. The best bet is Tyler Buchner, but he will need to show that he has taken positive steps in the passing department. Drew Pyne decided to stick around and fight it out of the starting position, which really helps with depth. He’s not a throw away either, having played fairly well last fall. There is excitement to see what Steven Angeli brings to the table as well, but he’s clearly the dark horse in the race. It would be great to see one of them emerge from the spring as the number 1, and if I had to bet, my money is on Buchner.
Playmakers taking the next step on offense
Gone is Kevin Austin Jr. to the NFL and while Michael Mayer does return, the focus of many defenses will be to stop the star tight end. In order for Mayer to have another big season, other players will have to emerge from the wide receiver room. Braden Lenzy has always shown flashes but injuries have held him back. Will he have the senior, last dance type season? Avery Davis returns, but he’s more of a solid yet unspectacular receiver. A big-time deep threat needs step up, with eyes on a pair of sophomores to take up the mantle. Lorenzo Styles Jr. has the potential to be a game-breaker and really come up big in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl. The momentum most likely carries into the season. Deion Colzie played but didn’t record many stats last year, he’s got the body type to make plays in the red zone. A big leap in year two is expected from Colzie.
Freeman more comfortable in his surroundings
This experience is new for Marcus Freeman, not being on the sidelines for a spring game, but being the lead during a the glorified scrimmage is. His debut against Oklahoma State was great for a half, but unfortunately Freeman’s inexperience hurt during the second half. The good news is that no matter what, this will be a win for the Irish but getting comfortable being the head coach is key going forward. This should be a first step for Freeman in doing so.
Defensive lineman step up
Like Mayer, Isaiah Foskey is a very know commodity heading into the season and will have many offensive coordinators eyes after his 11-sack 2021 season. Teams will move protection to his side, start chipping him more with running backs and double-teams as well. For Foskey to create havoc for opposing offenses once again, someone else needs to step up. The Ademilola twins are super solid, Justin (5.5) and Jayson (3.5) each had multiple sacks last year, but having a deep pass-rush is key to any defense. Two players stick out in my mind, Alex Ehrensberger and Tyson Ford. The German import Ehrensberger is entering his third-year and has shown flashes of dominance, getting better every time he steps out on the field. Ford, although a true-freshman, has immense potential and gets a head start by being on campus already.
The transition for Brandon Joseph
The former All-American has moved a bit east from one high level academic institution, Northwestern, to South Bend. Learning a new defense can sometimes be tricky, but for Joseph, he should be able to handle the new terminology and scheme. This will be our first look at what Joseph brings to the table and although he most likely won’t play much, it should still be nice to see the Irish replacing one All-American (Kyle Hamilton) with another.
Bonus: No injuries
This is key to any team but especially for the Irish. Game one of the 2022 season is a tough one, traveling to Columbus to face a very good Ohio State team. For Freeman to no start his career off to an 0-2 start, the Irish need to be fully healthy for their tilt against the Buckeyes. To leave the Blue and Gold game with no injuries would be the ideal scenario and let’s hope for good health in fall camp as well. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2580553000320/five-outcomes-we-d-love-to-see-during-the-blue-gold-game-for-notre-dame | 2022-04-24T08:27:27Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2580553000320/five-outcomes-we-d-love-to-see-during-the-blue-gold-game-for-notre-dame | false | 2 |

Devastating Biden Gaffe: POTUS Asked About Title 42, Starts Babbling About Something Totally Different
He didn’t even understand the question?
Less than a month before one of the most consequential decisions of his presidency is supposed to take effect, President Joe Biden was asked on Thursday if he’d given any thought to reversing course on a policy that’s going to swell the flood of illegal immigration that’s already reached historic proportions.
He answered about something completely different.
In a statement released by the White House shortly after he spoke, Biden admitted his mistake. But by then, it was too late.
The moment came when Biden was meeting with reporters at the White House and was asked if he was having second thoughts about his decision to stop invoking Title 42, a law that makes it easier to deport illegal immigrants because of public health concerns.
Biden’s response focused on a separate subject entirely — the Monday ruling by a federal judge in Florida that ended the Biden administration’s mandate requiring masks for travelers on public transportation, such as airplanes and trains.
Asked about ending Title 42, Joe Biden starts talking about mandating masks on airplanes… pic.twitter.com/K1qUjib9bA
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 21, 2022
“What I’m considering is continuing to hear from my, uh, my — first of all, there’s going to be an appeal by the Justice Department,” Biden said.
“Because as a matter of principle, we want to be able to be in a position where if, in fact, it is strongly concluded by the scientists that we need Title 42, that we’d be able to do that. But there has been no decision on extending Title 42.”
That would have been a dodgy answer even if it had anything to do with the question. But what Biden had clearly done was confuse one of the few remaining tools for immigration authorities to hinder the flood of illegal migrants with a widely detested mandate forcing Americans to wear masks aboard airplanes.
That’s not the behavior of a man a sane country wants making decisions in the White House.
Follow up question, “Sir, may we take you to a doctor?”

Naturally, liberals turned out desperately to try to defend Biden’s gaffe, but even the White House admitted it was indefensible.
“I want to clarify that, in comments at the conclusion of my remarks this morning, I was referring to the CDC’s mask mandate and there is no Department of Justice action on Title 42,” Biden said in a written statement distributed less than two hours after the briefing, according to The Hill.
That’s not a clarification. It’s not even a correction.
It’s a tacit admission that the man who has the most powerful job in the world was incapable of understanding a question about one of the most important issues facing the country he was elected to serve. It’s an admission he has no business being in office.
(Maybe the president missed it, but for the record, the Justice Department has already filed an appeal of the judge’s ruling, as CBS News reported Wednesday, a day before Biden spoke.)
The Biden White House has been forced to walk back too many embarrassing, potentially dangerous statements by the 46th president in the 15 months he’s been in office, whether it was demanding Russian President Vladimir Putin be removed from office or telling American soldiers they were on their way to the battlefields of Ukraine.
But this isn’t simply Biden “speaking from the heart” or talking off the top of his head.
This is a man who was asked about an issue that’s going to affect millions of Americans on the border and in the interior, in the immediate future and for generations to come. And he didn’t even understand the question.
But this is the man Democrats wanted in the White House?
The midterm elections can’t come soon enough.
And neither can 2024.

Lawyers of the man allegedly attacked by Mike Tyson on an aeroplane have presented his side's account of events after the boxing legend claimed he had a water bottle thrown at him.
This week, TMZ released video footage of Tyson, 55, appearing to repeatedly punch a fellow passenger, now named as Melvin George Townsend III. Police later confirmed to ESPN that they were called to the incident in San Francisco just after 10pm on Wednesday as the plane prepared for take-off.
Officers spoke to two men, neither of whom they identified, before both were released. "That subject provided minimal details of the incident and refused to cooperate further with the police investigation," an officer said.
Tyson's spokesperson, meanwhile, released a statement implying the former heavyweight world champion had been harassed : "Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat," they said.
Despite the alleged victim declining to press charges, his legal team have now issued a denial of Tyson's claim that a water bottle was thrown at him. Via TMZ , his lawyers have said: “Our client is a big Mike Tyson fan.
"When Mike Tyson boarded the plane, he became overly excited. At first, their interaction was cordial. At a certain point, Mr. Tyson clearly became agitated by an overly excited fan and began to strike him in an excessive manner.
"This situation could have been avoided simply by contacting the flight attendant. Our client denies throwing a water bottle prior to being struck by Mr. Tyson."
Other witnesses have reportedly claimed that Mike Tyson was composed and calm with fellow passengers, including Townsend, and agreed to pose for photographs. He then eventually allegedly lost his temper after Townsend continued to pester him, leaving his bloodied after a flurry of punches, although the video footage didn't show any bottles being thrown beforehand.
The incident came in a week where boxing was in the headlines, ahead of Tyson Fury's title defence against Dillian Whyte on Saturday night. And YouTuber Jake Paul, who himself now has a 5-0 pro record of the sport, has since leapt to the defence of his fellow American.
"If you’re being heckled in public like Mike Tyson was you should legally get a hall pass to beat someone’s ass," he tweeted. "This generation thinks they can get away with anything."
Tyson retired in 2005 but late in 2020, returning to the ring for an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr. And he surprised many with the display as the pair battled to an eight round draw.
He's been craving further fights since, and was reportedly in talks with Logan Paul before the latter signed up with the WWE. He's also called out old rivals Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield, but is yet to finalise another bout.

Christian Eriksen was embraced by his former Tottenham team-mates before taking the field for Brentford against his longtime club.
Eriksen was in Brentford's starting XI as he faced off with Spurs for the first time since his collapse at the Euros last summer.
And, as the teams took the field, Eriksen received big hugs from old team-mates Harry Kane, Hugo Lloris and Eric Dier.

For years, Barrow Gurney was known as somewhere people simply drove through rather than stopped in.
The village has an unwelcome reputation as a shortcut to Bristol Airport despite the implementation of traffic calming measures to thwart this. Its narrow roads connect the A370 and the A38, meaning there have been issues with congestion and air traffic noise in the village over the years.
Barrow Gurney Parish Council announced its strong objection to the proposed expansion of Bristol Airport before it was accepted earlier this year. Councillor Nick Tyrell called the plans "seriously flawed" back in 2019 after sharing concerns over the diminishing quality of life of the villagers in the surrounding areas.

But the village deserves more than being diminished to a route on a map. Fans of The Wurzels might even remember the nod to the village in the song 'Drink Up Thy Zider', in reference to Barrow Hospital, a psychiatric hospital that opened in the 1930s. It was closed in 2008 and turned into accommodation.
As well as being just four miles from Bristol, the village has ties to the city through the forgone tobacco trade. One of several mills was converted to snuff manufacture by a tobacconist from Bristol, Peter Lilly, around 1800 to become part of the W.D. & H.O. Wills tobacco manufacturing company.
It aptly neighbours Barrow Gurney Reservoirs also known as Barrow Tanks, three artificial reservoirs that supply drinking water for parts of Bristol. They also provide habitats for Rainbow and Brown Trout which make it a suitable flyfishing spot with the right permit.
Last year, the village's historic tap along Barrow Street was restored for public use funded by the Stancombe Quarry Community Fund, and led by parish council vice chairman Andy Robbins. The tap had previously not seen much use due to the volume of traffic and lack of footpath through the centre of the village to access it.

The tap, which stands in the centre of the village, was first installed when the water main was built along the street midway through the 19th century. Although the precise origins of the tap are not known, it is understood it was associated with the development of Bristol's water supply.
Initially, the supply was from The Bristol Water Works Company from the Cold Bath Spring on the hill behind the village but this was then substituted by the construction of Barrow Tanks. The tanks were fed from the Mendip Hills via the Line of Works, a highly intricate system of gravity-fed tunnels and aqueducts.
Public footpaths near the tanks were recently restored with kissing gates installed to make the area easier to access. One of the rambling routes trails the Prince's Motto pub, a beloved institution by both locals and visitors - and one of two of the village's locals.
BristolLive reported how landlord Andy Miller took on the Motto just three days before national lockdown hit the UK in 2020 as all pubs were forced to close their doors. With the support of villagers from Barrow Gurney and the surrounding area, he has transformed the pub into a hub of the community.
The Motto Shoppo - an idea conceived by the pub's manager Shonie Millward-Usher - provided the people in close proximity with essential items that were in high demand and often unavailable at supermarkets. It started by selling hand sanitiser, toilet rolls, milk, bread and flour. The shop still exists post-Covid, stocking up on essential produce and offering a plastic-free milk service.
Barrow Gurney is also the home to Bristol Fungarium, a grower of native medicinal mushrooms - Bristol residents may have spotted them at the Whiteladies Road markets and the Tobacco Factory Sunday Market. Their science-led farming allows them to grow conscientiously and sustainably without harming the local ecosystems, which are then dried to make medical formulas.
With just a few hundred residents, it's clear the community is what outstrips the village's association with traffic problems and its famous hospital.

It is generally well known that depression disorder has a significant impact on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients. While studies have shown the efficacy of antidepressant medications for the treatment of depression, these medications' effect on patients' overall well-being and HRQoL remains controversial.
In the new study, the researchers used data from the 2005-2015 United States' Medical Expenditures Panel Survey (MEPS), a large longitudinal study that tracks the health services that Americans use. Any person with a diagnosis of depression disorder was identified in the MEPS files.
Over the duration of the study, on average there were 17.47 million adult patients diagnosed with depression each year with two years of follow-up, and 57.6 per cent of these received treatment with antidepressant medications.
The use of antidepressants was associated with some improvement in the mental component of SF-12 -- the survey tracking health-related quality of life. However, when this positive change was compared to the change in a group of people who were diagnosed with the depressive disorder but did not take antidepressants, there was no statistically significant association of antidepressants with either the physical (p=0.9595) or mental (p=0.6405) component of SF-12.
In other words, the change in the quality of life seen among those on antidepressants over two years was not significantly different from that seen among those not taking the drugs.
The study was not able to separately analyse any subtypes or varying severities of depression. The authors say that future studies should investigate the use of non-pharmacological depression interventions used in combination with antidepressants.
The authors further said, "Although we still need our patients with depression to continue using their antidepressant medications, long-term studies evaluating the actual impact of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions on these patients' quality of life is needed. With that being said, the role of cognitive and behavioural interventions in the long term-management of depression needs to be further evaluated in an effort to improve the ultimate goal of care for these patients; improving their overall quality of life." | https://en.prothomalo.com/lifestyle/health/antidepressants-dont-improve-quality-of-life-long-term | 2022-04-24T08:52:38Z | https://en.prothomalo.com/lifestyle/health/antidepressants-dont-improve-quality-of-life-long-term | false | 2 |
"We have a deal on the DSA: The Digital Services Act will make sure that what is illegal offline is also seen and dealt with as illegal online - not as a slogan, as reality," Vestager said in a tweet.
EU lawmaker Dita Charanzova, who had called for such rules eight years ago, welcomed the agreement.
"Google, Meta and other large online platforms will have to act to better protect their users. Europe has made clear that they cannot act as independent digital islands," she said in a statement.
In a statement, Google said: "As the law is finalised and implemented, the details will matter. We look forward to working with policymakers to get the remaining technical details right to ensure the law works for everyone."
Under the DSA, the companies face fines up to 6 per cent of their global turnover for violating the rules while repeated breaches could see them banned from doing business in the EU.
The new rules ban targeted advertising aimed at children or based on sensitive data such as religion, gender, race and political opinions. Dark patterns, which are tactics that mislead people into giving personal data to companies online, will also be prohibited.
Very large online platforms and online search engines will be required to take specific measures during a crisis. The move was triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the related disinformation.
The companies could be forced to hand over data related to their algorithms to regulators and researchers.
The companies also face a yearly fee up to 0.05 per cent of worldwide annual revenue to cover the costs of monitoring their compliance.
EU lawmaker Martin Schirdewan criticised the exemption granted to medium-sized companies.
"Under pressure from the conservatives, an exception rule for medium-sized companies was integrated, this is a mistake. Due to the large number of companies that fall under this definition in the digital sector, the exception is like a loophole," he said.
The DSA will be enforced in 2024. | https://en.prothomalo.com/science-technology/social-media/eu-sets-new-online-rules-for-google-meta-to-curb-illegal-content | 2022-04-24T08:52:50Z | https://en.prothomalo.com/science-technology/social-media/eu-sets-new-online-rules-for-google-meta-to-curb-illegal-content | false | 9 |
Luke Riethman’s lease is up at the end of this month – nine days from today.
He and his partner have been living in Middlesex with Rex, a well-behaved 10-year-old Lab mix, who is a very good boy. Riethman, 23, has been working as a ski patroller at Sugarbush and his partner works for a bank in Montpelier while attending college online.
They’ve got references and good credit and should be any landlord’s ideal tenant –if any landlords were looking for tenants, that is.
“Our landlords have been in Florida for the winter and are returning at the end of this month. We’ve been looking for a new place since January. Nothing is coming up,” Riethman said.
The commute from Middlesex to Sugarbush in the winter was not ideal, he said, getting up at 4:30 a.m. and spending $10 a day on gas got old. He said he had a friend from work who might be moving and that might free up an apartment for them, but that wasn’t certain yet.
He’s been looking on social media, Craigslist, talked to few real estate agents as well as realtors that he patrols with, trying to find a place to live.
“We really want to find a place in The Valley,” he said. “If I can’t find a place for the summer or longer, I’ll probably live out of my car and do some camping. I will paint or work in construction or landscape. I’m not worried about getting a job but I need a place to live,” he said.
He hopes to find summer or year-round housing and to be able to return to his job at Sugarbush.
“I love patrolling. It’s the best job I’ve ever had,” he said.
His is from Philadelphia originally and went to school in Plattsburg, earning a degree in expeditionary studies, largely focused on outdoor education and guiding. | https://www.valleyreporter.com/index.php/news/local-news/16842-faces-of-the-housing-crisis-luke-riethman | 2022-04-24T08:55:00Z | https://www.valleyreporter.com/index.php/news/local-news/16842-faces-of-the-housing-crisis-luke-riethman | true | 1 |
Somalia’s extremists bomb restaurant in the capital; 6 dead
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A bomb blast by Somalia’s Islamic extremist rebels hit a popular seaside restaurant in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, killing at least six people, ambulance service officials say.
The explosion was detonated by a suicide bomber who had been denied access inside the restaurant where the Somali Police Commissioner and several lawmakers were having dinner, Somali Police Spokesman Maj. Abdifatah Aden Hassan announced at a press conference Saturday.
The explosion occurred Friday evening when many patrons gathered for an Iftar meal to break the Ramadan fast. The restaurant is frequented by government officials.
Those killed were mostly civilians and seven other people were wounded, the director of Aamin Ambulance Service, Abdulkadir Adan told The Associated Press by phone. The blast caused “huge damage,” he said. Some security personnel were killed in the blast but police did not specify how many.
Somalia’s al-Shabab Islamic extremist group has claimed responsibility for the explosion. | https://thehill.com/news/ap/ap-international/somalias-extremists-bomb-restaurant-in-the-capital-6-dead/ | 2022-04-24T09:03:20Z | https://thehill.com/news/ap/ap-international/somalias-extremists-bomb-restaurant-in-the-capital-6-dead/ | false | 20 |

The Congress' much hyped meetings with political strategist Prashant Kishor went on the whole week with Congress workers wondering whether he will join the party or not. Some are over enthusiastic, some are suspicious about his sudden inclination for the Congress, more so after the poll loss in Goa where the TMC made a dent in Congress fortunes in the state.
Congress leaders and Kishor held meetings till Friday to deliberate on the roadmap for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, after he gave a powerpoint presentation of around 600 slides to senior party leaders, including its Chief Ministers. The committee formed by Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi has also submitted its report and most of the senior leaders are not averse to his joining the party.
Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said: "When any decision will be taken it will be communicated."
According to party sources, a majority of the Congress leaders are convinced by the plan mooted by PK, as Kishor is popularly known, but some are wary. However, sources say that PK is very much on board but whether he will be inducted into the party or will be only limited to a consultant's role has yet to decided by Sonia Gandhi.
Party sources say that PK is no guarantee of success though his success rate is high. In 2017 he was working for the Congress and the Samajwadi Party combine but failed miserably. He was in Punjab in 2017 but made an exit before the 2022 elections. However, he has been successful with the TMC, TRS, DMK and the YSRCP.
Sources in the dissident group G-23 are not too impressed as they say the party leadership is overlooking and ignoring in-house talent and relying on somebody who is not loyal to the party and is a professional consultant. They say all that PK is telling the Congress leadership has been raised by the group in their letter to Sonia Gandhi and in subsequent meetings.
Kishor is suggesting a non-Gandhi as party president, revival of the parliamentary board, end of nepotism, and turning the party into an election machine -- all these issues have been raised by the group and this can happen only when the party goes for in-house elections from the grassroot level to the Congress Working Committee level, said a source.
The Congress leaders may disagree with the suggestions of some one outside the Gandhi family leading the party but sources indicate that Kishor has suggested a massive revamp of the party.
Congress leaders who have been assigned to make a report on the presentation have submitted the report to Sonia Gandhi.
Congress leaders have met several times with the poll strategist who suggested a roadmap to contest the 2024 elections and the six Assembly polls that will come in the run-up.
Since last Saturday, Kishor presented a detailed roadmap for the 2024 elections before Sonia Gandhi and the party's top leaders. Following this, Gandhi deputed a small group to look into it and report to her within a week. "A final decision will be taken after that," Congress General Secretary, Organisation, Venugopal, had said.
According to sources, Kishor had said during the meeting that the Congress must target 370 to 400 seats and work on alliances wherever the party is weak.
Congress leaders like Digvijaya Singh and Ashok Gehlot have not been averse to Kishor working for the party. Gehlot saying that he has become a brand is indicative of Congress leaders saying that PK will sooner or later be on board. | https://www.ibtimes.co.in/cong-leaders-welcome-pks-reboot-plan-g-23-insist-they-said-it-all-847769 | 2022-04-24T09:08:22Z | https://www.ibtimes.co.in/cong-leaders-welcome-pks-reboot-plan-g-23-insist-they-said-it-all-847769 | true | 10 |
Spain museum confident it can keep painting stolen by Nazis
MADRID — (AP) — A leading Spanish museum said Friday it's confident that U.S. courts will again rule that a valuable French impressionist painting once taken from a Jewish family by the Nazis belongs to the museum, and not to descendants of the family.
In a statement Friday, the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum said that despite a new U.S. Supreme Court ruling that returned the case to lower courts, it was sure those courts would once again rule that Spanish law, rather than California law, should prevail.
That would mean the painting, Camille Pissaro’s “Rue Saint-Honoré in the Afternoon, Effect of Rain,” should remain in the hands of the Madrid museum where it now hangs. The painting has been estimated to be worth more than $30 million.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling Thursday to return the case to the Courts of Appeal kept alive San Diego resident David Cassirer’s hopes of getting back the streetscape that belonged to his great-grandmother.
U.S. lower courts have previously concluded that Spanish property law and not California law should ultimately govern the case and that under Spanish law, the museum was the rightful owner of the painting, which the family believed for over half a century had been lost or destroyed.
The Courts of Appeal will now decide whether California state law, rather than federal law, might hold precedence over Spanish law. This could overturn earlier rulings.
The Thyssen museum said that Supreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor had commented during the hearing that the next ruling would probably be again in the Spanish museum’s favor.
Cassirer’s great-grandmother, Lilly Cassirer, a German Jew, had owned the 1897 oil painting. After the Nazis came to power, Cassirer and her husband fled Germany. In 1939, in order to get visas to leave, she surrendered the Pissarro painting to the Nazis.
The painting changed hands a number of times after that.
In 1958, Lilly Cassirer reached a monetary settlement with the German government worth about 232,000 euros ($250,000) today, but she didn’t give up rights to try to pursue the painting if it turned up.
Rather than being lost or destroyed, the painting had traveled to the United States, where it spent 25 years in the hands of different collectors before being purchased in 1976 by Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza of Lugano, Switzerland. He owned it until the 1990s, when he sold much of his art collection to Spain.

Story at a glance
- Missouri legislators this week said gender-affirming care should not be made available to young adults younger than 25 years old, citing brain maturity.
- Research suggests that the part of the brain responsible for executive functions like decision making is not fully developed before the age of 25.
- Other research has found that early gender-affirming interventions are associated with better outcomes for transgender and nonbinary adults.
Missouri lawmakers this week while debating a bill seeking to restrict access to gender-affirming care for minors suggested access to medical interventions like hormones be withheld from transgender and nonbinary individuals until at least their 25th birthday.
During a public hearing Thursday for Missouri’s House Bill 2649, Laurie Haynes, a psychologist, testified that she believes young adults under the age of 25 are unable to fully comprehend the “dramatic and drastic and irreparable” changes their bodies will undergo if they receive gender-affirming medical treatments like puberty blockers or hormone therapies.
Haynes on Thursday also said she supported conversion therapy.
Medical research has suggested that the prefrontal cortex – the part of the brain responsible for executive functions like decision making – is not fully developed until roughly the age of 25.

Currently, the bill, which is officially titled the Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act, only applies to individuals younger than 18 years old. Missouri physicians and health care providers under the bill would be prevented from providing or recommending gender-affirming care to patients who are minors.
On Thursday Rep. Nick Schroer (R) argued that the legislature had previously invoked brain maturity in deciding whether the state should raise the age for being charged as an adult in criminal cases from 17 to 18.
“The brains of especially males are still developing into their twenties and I don’t understand why that’s not part of the discussion here,” he said.
It’s an argument made by lawmakers and officials in other conservative states, and Florida’s Health Department this week said gender-affirming care in any form – including social transition – should not be made available to children younger than 18 years old, citing brain maturity.
But other research has found that early gender-affirming interventions can improve the mental health and wellbeing of transgender and nonbinary people into adulthood.
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that receiving gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers and hormones, between the ages of 13 and 20 was associated with 60 percent lower odds of moderate or severe depression and 73 percent lower odds of suicidality.
Another study, published late last year by researchers at The Trevor Project, found that, among transgender or nonbinary minors, hormone therapy was associated with nearly 40 percent lower odds of recent depression or a suicide attempt over the last year. | https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/equality/3460403-missouri-lawmakers-consider-extending-proposed-ban-on-gender-affirming-care-to-adults/ | 2022-04-24T09:16:04Z | https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/equality/3460403-missouri-lawmakers-consider-extending-proposed-ban-on-gender-affirming-care-to-adults/ | true | 2 |
SRINAGAR, India (AP) — India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Himalayan Kashmir for his first public event on Sunday since New Delhi stripped the disputed region’s semi-autonomy and took direct control in 2019.
Modi arrived amid massive security and is scheduled to speak in a public event and review development work. His speech will be part of a function to commemorate the annual Panchayati Raj, or grassroots democracy, Day.
Tens of thousands of people and elected officials from local councils across the region assembled in Palli village near Jammu city for the speech. The area visited by Modi generally welcomed the Indian government’s unprecedented changes three years ago.
Officials say the councils represent grassroots governance but its members have no legislative powers. The region has been without an elected government since 2018.
Government forces fanned out across Kashmir to thwart any violence. On Friday, two suspected militants and a paramilitary officer were killed in a gunfight some 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Palli.
Police chief Dilbag Singh said the slain militants were a “suicide squad from Pakistan” likely sent to sabotage Modi’s visit. He did not offer any evidence to back up his claim.
Modi’s two previous visits after Kashmir’s status was changed were to military camps to celebrate a Hindu festival with soldiers. In 2019, Modi's government revoked the region’s semi-autonomous status, annulled its separate constitution, split the area into two federal territories — Ladakh and Jammu-Kashmir — and removed inherited protections on land and jobs amid unprecedented lockdown.
The region has remained on edge since, as authorities put in place a slew of new laws that critics and many residents fear could change majority-Muslim Kashmir’s demographics.
Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan and both rivals claim the region in its entirety. Rebels have been fighting against Indian rule since 1989. Most Muslim Kashmiris support the rebel goal that the territory be united either under Pakistani rule or as an independent country.
India insists the Kashmir militancy is Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Pakistan denies the charge, and most Kashmiris consider it a legitimate freedom struggle. Tens of thousands of civilians, rebels and government forces have been killed in the conflict. | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Modi-visits-Indian-controlled-Kashmir-amid-tight-17122668.php | 2022-04-24T09:26:11Z | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Modi-visits-Indian-controlled-Kashmir-amid-tight-17122668.php | false | 12 |
KYIV, Ukraine — The sun came out as Ukrainians marked Orthodox Easter in the capital, Kyiv, on Sunday with prayers for those fighting on the front lines and others trapped beyond them in places like Mariupol.
St. Volodymyr's Cathedral in Kyiv was ringed by hundreds of worshipers with baskets to be blessed. Inside, a woman clutched the arm of a soldier, turning briefly to kiss his elbow. Other soldiers prayed, holding handful of candles, then crossed themselves. An older woman bent slowly made her way through the crowd and stands of flickering candles. One young woman held daffodils.
Outside the cathedral, a soldier who gave only his first name, Mykhailo, used his helmet as an Easter basket. He said he didn't have another.
"I hope I'll only have to use the helmet for this," he said.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a service elsewhere in Kyiv urged Ukrainians not to let anger at the war overwhelm them.
"All of us believe our sunrise will come soon," he said.
With the Orthodox church split by the tensions between Russia and Ukraine, some worshippers hoped the holy day could inspire gestures of peacemaking. "The church can help," said one man who gave only his first name, Serhii, as he came to a church in Kyiv under the Moscow Patriarchate.
He and others brought baskets to be blessed by priests for Easter, with flicks of a brush sprinkling holy water over offerings of home-dyed eggs, lighted candles and even bottles of Jack Daniels.
Residents of rural villages battered by the war approached the holiday with some defiance.
"We'll celebrate Easter no matter what, no matter much horror," said Kateryna Lazarenko, 68, in the northern village of Ivanivka outside Chernihiv, where ruined Russian tanks still littered the roads.
"How do I feel? Very nervous, everyone is nervous," said another resident, Olena Koptyl, as she prepared her Easter bread. "The Easter holiday doesn't bring any joy. I'm crying a lot. We cannot forget how we lived." She and 12 others spent a month sheltering from Russian soldiers in the basement of her home before the soldiers withdrew.
Ukraine on Sunday prepared for the first high-level U.S. trip to Kyiv since before the war began on Feb. 24 after Zelenskyy announced he would meet with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Zelenskyy in a news conference Saturday night gave few details but said he expected results — "not just presents or some kind of cakes, we are expecting specific things and specific weapons."

Coleman County Celebrates the Great Western Trail
COLEMAN COUNTY – In the late 1800’s, cowboys would drive huge herds of Longhorn cattle from Mexico to the Canadian border along the Great Western Trail. The trail passes through Coleman County and trail markers can be found today showing the path taken. The Great Western Trail’s history was rather brief...

Tyson Fury has hinted that he could next be seen in the WWE ring at SummerSlam following his victory over Dillian Whyte on Saturday night.
‘The Gypsy King’ knocked out Whyte with an almighty uppercut in the sixth round of their monumental clash to retain the WBC heavyweight title and take his record to 33 bouts without defeat. However, it looks like the end of a fairy-tale of a career for Fury.
After the match, he confirmed his retirement, though did throw fans a lifeline. The 33-year-old suggested that he may be seen at WWE SummerSlam in July, the first big pay-per-view stadium show in the UK in the last 30 years.
Asked about the event, Fury said: “Don’t rule me out of fighting there. You might see me at SummerSlam, coming up soon.
“I’ve got to speak to Vince (McMahon) and the boys, maybe make this happen. I know Drew McIntyre has been saying a lot of things about me, I’ll have to knock him out, like I did his pal. I’d love to be at Cardiff, I’d love to be in the centre stage in the UK, especially for the wrestling.
“I enjoyed it last time in Saudi Arabia, it was fantastic, so to come here and do it would be phenomenal. We’re definitely going to make a bit of contact and see if we can make that SummerSlam thing a reality.”
Fury has previously wrestled in the WWE back in October 2019 and has continuously made it clear that he has every intention of returning to the sport. He made his debut against Braun Strowman and won the match via count-out.
Fury wrote on Instagram previously: “Best believe I will be back to grace the squared circle in front of the WWE universe soon enough as I’ve got some unfinished business to take care of! By the way, the UK fans would love a Wrestlemania right here in the nation’s capital at Wembley Stadium and guess what, the Gypsy King is ready."
His wife, Paris, also told BBC Newcastle: “He is in touch with Vince McMahon all the time. He loves it. My sons are all big fans of it. For Tyson to do it is kind of like a Disneyland trip, the kids love to go and they meet all the wrestlers. To be that cool dad that can give his kids that dream, he does it.” It remains to be seen which event Fury makes his return to WWE in. | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/boxing/tyson-fury-wwe-summerslam-boxing-26784170 | 2022-04-24T09:35:00Z | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/boxing/tyson-fury-wwe-summerslam-boxing-26784170 | false | 1 |
Chris said: “Shirley Wallace (far left in the main image) and husband James were pictured enjoying an afternoon in the town park in 1980.
“They were joined by Shirley’s sister Angie and their mother, Phyllis, who has since died.
Shirley said: “My aunt lived near the park so we had probably been to visit her.”
The couple met at Redring Electric, where James worked for 44 years, before retiring three years ago. He now has more time to indulge in his life-long passion for Northern Soul music.
Shirley worked at Leighton Primary School as a midday supervisor for 29 years and has recently retired.
Chris added: “Their son died four years ago and as a tribute to Matthew he can be seen in a photo taken in 1990 with his mum and dad.” | https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/heritage-and-retro/retro/looking-back-a-family-day-out-in-the-park-3663812 | 2022-04-24T09:37:03Z | https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/heritage-and-retro/retro/looking-back-a-family-day-out-in-the-park-3663812 | true | null |
