Hundreds protest for a new school in Penetanguishene
Students, parents and school board members in Penetanguishene demonstrated their frustration with the Ford government after being denied several grant applications for a new school.
After the Protestant Separate School Board's latest request for provincial funding was rejected, Julia McLaren, Burkevale Protestant Separate School principal says they staged a protest in hopes of being noticed.
"Look at us, and remember us," McLaren says. "Sometimes we get forgotten because we're the little guy, and we're not a big board."
The board says Burkevale Protestant Separate School is bursting at the seams, with the gym converted into a classroom and changerooms into sensory and COVID-19 isolation spaces.
The school's 350 students share just two bathrooms.
As Simcoe North MPP Jill Dunlop presented a cheque at the Penetanguishene Curling Club on Friday, hundreds gathered outside, including students, parents, and faculty.
"I think what we were hoping to get out of this was to say, you know, don't forget about us," McLaren says. "We're equally as important, and maybe, to get people to check into it again."
CTV News reached out to MPP Dunlop's office for comment and received this statement:
"To support working families and students, the government has committed nearly $14 billion over the next 10 years to approve new schools, renovations and major expansions at schools that directly benefit rapidly growing communities across the province.
No other government in Ontario history has invested more in public education, supported by the largest investment in tutoring supports, mental health, and special education.
We are investing a historic $26.65 billion to ensure that all students, including students at Burkevale Protestant Separate School, reach their full potential."
While Dunlop's office says she was "happy to speak to those that were present" for the protest, her statement did not directly address the school board's funding request.
McLaren says the board hopes to submit a fourth grant proposal in the fall. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/hundreds-protest-ontario-denying-grant-for-new-school-in-penetanguishene-1.17640097 | 2022-04-24T09:41:27Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/hundreds-protest-ontario-denying-grant-for-new-school-in-penetanguishene-1.17640097 | true | 3 |
John Reyna peeled off protective gear at the firefighter Ventura Training Center (VTC), and reflected on dark days in prison.
"The worst for me was having that feeling of letting my family down," said the 40-year-old married father with four children. "That was the hardest part for me. I'm a provider."
Reyna and his mentors are confident he will soon earn a good starting salary as a firefighter, with excellent benefits when he leaves the VTC.
Reyna pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter for the 2005 shooting death of Daniel Rodriguez in the San Diego city of Alpine. The prosecutor in the case, David Grapilon, told CNN Reyna was not the trigger man, and he has no problem with Reyna, who passed rigorous state prison rules on behavior to work in an inmate camp, becoming a firefighter.
"I'd rather see inmates do something productive, like work in the fire camps, instead of sit inside all day watching television," said the San Diego County Deputy District Attorney. "And there are safeguards. The inmate firefighter program has strict rules on who is accepted."
Reyna is now part of a growing list of former inmates who will or have been hired full-time by fire departments just California endures massive wildland infernos caused by the climate crisis. CalFire reports the eight largest blazes in state history based on acreage, all occurred since 2017.
"We are in some unprecedented times here in California," said Jeremy Brant, CalFire battalion chief. "We see the environment change, the increase in fire behavior and large growth of fires. The fire seasons are getting longer."
Brant believes the center he runs with CalFire division chief Mike Salas can help meet the demand for more firefighters in California. The VTC, started in 2018, was developed to take ex-convicts who battled fires as prison camp members and prepare them for a career as firefighters.
CalFire estimates since 2018, 229 former inmates enrolled in VTC. Of those, 136 got jobs, the majority with CalFire, and 56 are in camp now.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation reports depending on skill level, incarcerated firefighters earn between $2.90 and $5.12 an hour while in camp. If assigned to an active emergency, CalFire pays prisoners an extra dollar per hour. The California code says the pay for all prisoners, including those working in kitchens or laundry rooms, ranges from 8 cents to 37 cents per hour.
Prison camp is considered a perk, reserved for inmates who demonstrated good behavior. Getting into the VTC after serving their time, requires the participants be carefully screened, had minimum custody status in prison, and are recommended are by a prison camp chief.
California's broader conservation camp program houses 1,216 men and 43 women, a demographic ratio proportionate to the state's total prison population, according to a state spokesperson.
The training center runs a free, 18-month program allowing the felons to hone the firefighting skills they learned in the Conservation Camp program. The former inmates stay in the Camarillo barracks Monday through Friday. Chief Salas reported 280 former inmates have completed the VTC program.
It's not just outside firefighting drills or classroom instruction on inferno behavior officials think drives the ex-cons to success. The VTC offers extensive mental health as well as addiction counseling in coordination with the California Department of Parole, the California Conservation Corps and the Anti-Recidivism Coalition. Salas says the program is funded by CalFire, and California Prisons system.
"At VTC we create an environment of mentoring, where they can be safe," Brant explained. "Too many guys get out of prison; reoffend because they get around old friends, old gang members whatever."
California governor Gavin Newsom cleared roadblocks to inmates becoming fire firefighters with the signing of a bill on an ashy bench surrounded by burned trees in September 2020.
"Inmates who have stood on the front lines, battling historic fires should not be denied the right to later become a professional firefighter," Newsom said.
The bill also gave courts the power to expunge inmate firefighters' criminal records, which had often made it more difficult for former inmates to get hired. The courts can wipe out camp prisoners guilty or nolo contendere pleas, and a plea of not guilty can be entered, or verdicts of guilt to be set aside.
One of the first former camp inmates to have his record expunged is Jose Santana, who trained at VTC, completed the program in the spring of 2021 and got hired soon after by the CalFire Tulare Station Unit.
Santana served three in years in prison for a crime he apologizes for repeatedly and to this day. The ex-convict says while drunk on Jamison whiskey, high on meth and not sleeping for five days, he smashed a liquor bottle into the head of his then girlfriend.
"It's my fault, I had no idea of what I'd done," Santana said.
Santana served three years of a five-year sentence, He described massive brawls in Wasco Prison and the Sierra Corrections Center with inmates beating each other with broom handles, kicking each other in the head. The guards' smoke canisters tossed to break up the melees, cast a gray haze.
"A war zone," said Santana. "I had to get out of there. I heard of Mountain Home, a fire camp for inmates. Maybe I could do it."
Santana, per his chiefs, excelled at Mountain Home, which helped propel him to the firefighter job he says makes his two sons proud. He heard one of his boys brag on a headset while playing with others in Fortnight.
"'Yeah, well my dad does a little something,' " Santana recounted his son saying. "'He fights fires!' "
As fires roared through California in 2021, Santana racked up experience and overtime dollars.
"Last year I made I estimate $86,000 to $89,000 total with all the overtime," said Santana. "Big difference between that and making just a few bucks a day as an inmate."
On a rare down day during the scorching fire season, Santana passed out CalFire stickers at a parade in Tulare, dressed in navy-blue attire.
"It just felt so good, wearing that uniform, giving back to this great community," Santana said. "I was smiling, thinking none of these people would ever know that I used to wear prison orange."
Santana told CNN he will soon complete an Emergency Medical Technician program at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria and will take on a grater leadership role with CalFire.
There is no VTC type facility or other training center for California's female ex-convict firefighters, but Salas predicts the state agencies will establish an all-female version of the VTC sooner rather than later.
"Once we start figuring out how we are going to be able to expand," said Salas. "Where our female barracks are going to be."
John Reyna can't predict if he will wind up full-time at barracks somewhere with CalFire. He's applied to several CalFire jobs and his dream is in San Diego County.
Standing on the VTC grounds where he trained, sweated, marched and barked orders eventually as a company leader, he became reflective.
"I keep reminding myself, never forget what happened," he said. "Never forget the people you hurt and their families. Start doing good for everybody around you and pay back. Pay back those families. That's my way of giving back to that family that I hurt, is by doing good deeds."

The current power crisis is mainly on account of sharp decline in electricity generation from different fuel sources and not due to non-availability of domestic coal, a top official said on Sunday.
The above statement assumes significance in the wake of reports of many states, including Maharashtra, facing power outages due to shortage of coal.
In an interview to PTI, Coal Secretary A K Jain attributed the low coal stocks at power plants to several factors such as heightened power demand due to the boom in the economy post COVID-19, early arrival of summer, rise in the price of gas and imported coal and sharp fall in electricity generation by coastal thermal power plants.
"It is not a coal crisis but a power demand-supply mismatch... The power demand has registered an upswing as the economy has bounced back, summers have arrived early and the price of gas and imported coal have shot up sharply," Jain explained.
He added that a slew of measures are already under way to enhance total power supply in the country.
The gas-based power generation which has fallen drastically in the country has aggravated the crisis.
"Some of the thermal power plants in India were built along the coast so that imported coal could be used, brought from nearby countries like Indonesia... But with the sharp rise in the price of imported coal they have reduced the imports," Jain said.
The coastal thermal power plants are now generating around half of their capacity because of the sharp rise in the prices of imported coal. This has resulted in a gap between the demand and supply of electricity.
The secretary further said that States located in the South and West have been dependent on imported coal. And when domestic coal is dispatched through wagons/ rakes to the domestic coal-based plants in these States to make up for the loss in imported coal generation, the turnaround time of rakes is more than 10 days, which creates rake availability issues for other plants.
Since last year, the railways has loaded more coal than ever, even by curtailing rake supply to other sectors to meet the enhanced demand of the power sector. There was good loading of rakes in the month of March.
Since Coal India is a government company, it is expected that the PSU will bridge the gap between the demand and supply of fuel by providing additional coal. Last year, around 18 per cent more coal was supplied by CIL to the power sector, as there was a fuel stock of 100 million tonnes.
"And this year also we are ready to give eight per cent over this increased number," the Secretary said.
Coal India has produced 25 per cent more in the first half of the current month in comparison to the same period in the last year, and accordingly the dispatches were also up by up to 25 per cent.
CIL -- the country's largest producer and supplier of coal -- accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal output.
Coal minister Pralhad Joshi had on Saturday said that at present 72.50 MT of coal is available at different sources of CIL, Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL) and coal washeries among others.
The Minister had also said that 22.01 MT of coal is available with thermal power plants.
Stating that there is sufficient availability of coal in the country, Joshi had said that the same will last for a month and availability is getting replenished on a daily basis with record production.
As per the government's provisional data, the total coal production in FY'22 was at 777.23 MT over 716 MT in FY'21, registering a growth of 8.55 per cent.
CIL's production went up by 4.43 per cent to 622.64 MT during FY'22 from 596.24 MT in FY'21.
Total coal dispatch during FY'22 was at 818.04 MT against 690.71 MT in FY'21, registering an increase of 18.43 per cent.

It all seemed so different a year ago. Arriving in the United States in early 2021, I assumed that there was much for US conservatives to learn from their British cousins. Boris Johnson had just gained an almighty majority - the largest since Margaret Thatcher’s days - winning in places that had not voted Conservative since before the Second World War.
American conservatism, by contrast, appeared in poor health. Donald Trump had lost the White House in November 2020. States that only a decade earlier had leaned solidly Republican had suddenly become competitive – and the Republicans seemed determined to lose those competitions. On January 5th 2021, they compounded their defeat in the presidential race with a disastrous special election campaign in Georgia. What should have been a shoe-in ended with them losing control of the United States Senate. Things got even worse the next day. A mob, stirred up by conservative commentators who should have known better, stormed the Capitol. In those grim moments, it looked as if the party of Ronald Reagan was in terminal decline.
Fast forward to today, and there is still a striking difference between these movements - but with the roles dramatically reversed. As President Biden continues to underwhelm, the Republicans anticipate big gains in the midterms next year. They are ahead in key states such as Virginia - and indeed, won a hattrick of state-wide contests there only a few months ago, in a state that many assumed had shifted irretrievably leftward. They are polling remarkably well among middle class Asian and Hispanic Americans.
In Britain, by contrast, a recent YouGov survey suggests that Boris Johnson’s winning coalition has come apart, with support plummeting in almost every demographic group. The decline is especially ominous in blue collar Britain, whose support allowed the Conservatives to win a swathe of formerly Labour seats. After 12 years in office, Tories have raised taxes to their highest point since the 1950s. Since the last election, median household incomes have fallen, and a cost-of-living crisis is on its way.
Boris may have delivered Brexit and the vaccine rollout, and supported Ukraine brilliantly - but I doubt mentioning that will do the Tories much good. In electoral terms, the vaccine is ancient history. Brexit might have been a wedge issue at the last election; today it conjures up a vague feeling that more might have been done to capitalise on the opportunities.
“Surely” you might say, “its all a question of incumbency.” Aren’t British conservatives simply tanking because like Biden they happen to coincide with cost of living crisis while in office? Yet if the Tories are floundering for the same reasons as Biden’s Democrats, it does rather raise the question of why they should be governing as leftists in the first place.
In both countries, inflation is rising rapidly because governments have hosed money and achieved very little growth to show for it. Biden threw an additional $2 trillion into public spending since coming to office. Yet while Rishi Sunak has spent such eye watering sums you might be forgiven for thinking that Corbyn had won the last election, in America, Republican-run states have responded to the cost of living crisis by cutting taxes. My own state of Mississippi just passed the largest tax cut in our state’s history. If only British ministers were as receptive to free market thinking.
US energy costs are soaring partly because the federal government cancelled pipelines and discouraged investment in oil and gas. Britain’s conservatives have somehow gone even further; outlawing fracking and regulating the energy market as you might expect to see in a socialist state. Although leadership feels ever-more dysfunctional in both countries, US conservatives are brilliantly tapping into public anger by devolving power away from the state. Meanwhile, in the UK, the Johnson administration has become a by-word for big government. | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/04/24/british-conservatism-used-model-now-cautionary-tale/ | 2022-04-24T09:52:44Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/04/24/british-conservatism-used-model-now-cautionary-tale/ | false | 1 |
Virat Kohli extends greeting to Sachin Tendulkar on his 49th birthday
Star Indian batter Virat Kohli took to social media to extend his wishes to compatriot and batting great Sachin Tendulkar, who turned 49 on Sunday.
- Country:
- India
Star Indian batter Virat Kohli took to social media to extend his wishes to compatriot and batting great Sachin Tendulkar, who turned 49 on Sunday. "Happy birthday to one of the greatest. Have a good one Sachin paji," said Kohli in an Instagram story.
Other former and current cricketers from India and outside India also extended their wishes to the batting legend. "A most auspicious day when someone of your goodness and talent came into this world, @sachin_rt. May all your wishes be fulfilled far beyond your wildest dreams and may you live a healthy, prosperous and inspiring life filled with love. #HappyBirthdaySachin," tweeted former India batter and current National Cricket Academy chief VVS Laxman, who also was a part of the famed 'Fab Four' of Indian batting in the 2000s, along with Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly and current India head coach Rahul Dravid.
South Africa's U-19 cricket sensation and Mumbai Indians batter Dewald Brevis also extended his wishes to Tendulkar, who is also his mentor in MI. "Happy birthday Sachin Sir. Thanks for all your support and guidance. You are an inspiration!," said an Instagram post from Brevis.
Legendary India spinner Harbhajan Singh also tweeted, "Happy Birthday Paji .. aap ko duniya bhar ki sab Khushiyaa mille..Have a great day ahead.. once u r out of the bubble, we shall celebrate.. love always @sachin_rt #HappyBirthdaySachin #HappyBirthdaySachinTendulkar #Master." India and RCB batter Dinesh Karthik also took to social media to wish Tendulkar, tweeting, "There are greats, there are legends and then there is @sachin_rt. Wishing you a very happy birthday #HappyBirthdaySachin."
Four-time Indian Premier League champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) tweeted, "Super Birthday to the man who made the crowd whistle and stand in ovation through decades of Indian Cricket! #HappyBirthdaySachin #WhistlePodu : @BCCI." The legendary batter has the most number of runs in the longest format of the game, amassing 15,921 runs. Along the way, Tendulkar scored 51 Test centuries, the most by any player.
Apart from Test cricket, Sachin has created numerous records in the ODI format as well. He stands at the top of the list of most runs in ODI, with a total of 18,426 runs, including 49 tons and 96 half-centuries. During his long career, the former batter represented India in six World Cups. He was also a part of the 2011 World Cup-winning squad.
He has also achieved a historic milestone of scoring 100 international tons and holds the record for registering the most centuries in Test and ODIs. He was also the first batsman to score a double ton in the 50-over format. Sachin was last seen playing in Road Safety World Series in 2021, where he led India Legends to the title win. Currently, he is the mentor of the Indian Premier League franchise, Mumbai Indians. (ANI)

Former commissioner of police Gary Griffith has accused Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley of misleading the Parliament with false claims pertaining to the procurement of spyware technology.
Last Friday, Rowley said the Government had “resisted repeated attempts by a former commissioner of police to obtain, own and utilise intercept technology by the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service”.
Rowley was responding in Parliament to the allegations made by Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar that the State had been using the spyware to illegally spy on citizens.
Rowley has repeatedly denied these claims, and said on Friday that the former commissioner of police had procured an interception of communication solution without approval, and was instructed to transfer it to the Strategic Services Agency (SSA), which was done.
Rowley denied the State ever used Israeli Pegasus spyware.
Responding to Rowley’s comments in a release, Griffith said the Pegasus spyware is not in this country, but referred to other interception equipment he said could not be purchased without the knowledge and approval of the Minister of National Security and the head of the National Security Council.
“There are several witnesses to the negotiation for the cited equipment, both inside the SSA and the TTPS,” Griffith said.
“To begin with, I repeat, we do not have Pegasus in Trinidad and Tobago. The Prime Minister does not even know the name of the equipment he’s speaking about.
“No one ever took anything away from the Police Service nor did anyone buy any piece of equipment without authority. In fact, I have documentary evidence of communications between the then minister of National Security and myself on the acquisition of the equipment, as well as on how it should be used,” he said.
Ministerial pressure
Griffith said the TTPS and the SSA had joint discussions on the interception equipment, and both organisations felt the equipment could be misused if it ended up in the wrong hands.
“As a result, an agreement was made that allowed both organisations to serve as check and balance on each other. The equipment was essentially split in two, which forced the SSA to have to inform the TTPS when they needed to use the equipment and vice versa. I also have a template as to how this arrangement was to be operationalised,” he said.
Griffith said this procedure is what probably saved many citizens from the violation of their privacy and rights.
He said when the minister of National Security was changed, he was being pressured by the new minister to place a constable in charge of the department where the TTPS’ part of the equipment was housed.
“This pressure by the minister only further convinced me that SSA must be part of the process,” he said.
Griffith noted the type of equipment was designed to be used to monitor terrorist organisations and gangs, but in “the wrong hands however it can be a weapon against ordinary citizens”. | https://trinidadexpress.com/news/local/griffith-we-do-not-have-pegasus-in-t-t/article_f67ae1ee-c370-11ec-9208-ef98a699a138.html | 2022-04-24T10:07:44Z | https://trinidadexpress.com/news/local/griffith-we-do-not-have-pegasus-in-t-t/article_f67ae1ee-c370-11ec-9208-ef98a699a138.html | true | 1 |
Just when we did not need another display of misogyny and sexism, we were treated to a week of the debasement of women.
First, there was the sex video or allegations of one. Detractors used an alleged sex video to go after the Vice President’s daughter in a desperate attempt to shame the Vice President.
Comments to defend the Vice President’s daughter included that she was a nice girl and would never have sex video. These comments are problematic because it implies that expressions of sexuality are limited to certain types of women and people. It diminishes the agency of women in expressing their sexuality and demonizes the women that do.
Let’s just put this out there: Every person has the right to enjoy sex and explore their sexuality. Some people like to have sex on video. As long as it is consensual sex between two adults, sex and expressions of it should be treated as an individual prerogative – not a public spectacle.
In the realm of politics, rumors of a sex videos are the most obvious display of the weaponization of a woman’s sexuality or the various components of a person that include biological sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual practices, and preferences.
Less obvious but just as insidious are the attack on a woman’s sexuality that run from her physical appearance to her private life.
In the case of Vice President Robredo, whispers about a boyfriend, about a pregnancy, about being a wife ring louder than her achievements as a public official, her political platform, and a critical assessment of her ability to lead.
Meanwhile, male politicians are unscathed by attacks on their sexuality.
President Duterte tried to shame Isko Moreno by surfacing his beginnings in showbiz and calling him names. Moreno simply shook it off. We only need to look at the case of Senator Leila de Lima to see how shaming using sexuality has far more serious consequences for women.
De Lima’s sexuality was used to discredit and humiliate her. Using the tired trope of an alleged sex video, male legislators feasted on the details of the senator’s private life. Their antics drew the much deserved disgust of the public, but still, Senator de Lima remains in detention.
While VP Robredo has to field attacks on her personal life, her closest contender Bongbong Marcos has enjoyed most of his life living off the ill-gotten wealth his family amassed during their years in power. Owing also to a mass disinformation and historical revisionist campaign, Marcos Jr. has been able to evade not only questions about his private life but also questions about the years of dictatorship under his father.
Fragile egos and machismo
Easter weekend’s disastrous press conference was a blatant display of machismo mixed with sexism and political individualism. This headline accurately sums it up: Male survey laggards hit lone female presidential bet.
In less than 15 days, we are going to decide if we are going to elect the son of a deposed dictator to the highest office. The same dictator who treated the nation’s treasury as his bank account and hunted down activists and dissidents. The dictator’s son has not engaged in public debates and has not explained his political platform outside of a call for “unity.” He has no evident political platform apart from again attaching the Marcos name to the presidency and rewriting history.
And yet, the male candidates who have no chance of winning the presidential race asked the one other person who stands a chance to, as Isko Moreno put it, “be a hero and withdraw.”
Statistically and mathematically, this makes no sense. It will only take about 20% of the votes to win the presidency. The more candidates there are, the more votes are going to be distributed among them. It would make more sense for these men who have no chance at all of winning in the election to withdraw their bets and consolidate their voting base under Robredo, who has a chance at winning.
But no, they still view next month’s trip to the ballot boxes as a popularity contest that will launch their showbiz career rather than a presidential election where the stakes are the lives of 100 million people.
It took the tidal wave of backlash from netizens to make the men snap out of it. Well, some of them seem to be perfectly happy swimming around in their self-inflated egos.
People watching that train wreck of a press conference saw grown men banding together to whine about how little attention they are getting in the poll surveys. Men with fragile egos exposed a side of machismo and toxic masculinity. The side that crumbles from the extreme discomfort of having a woman lead. The side that gnashes their teeth through a two-hour press conference just to reiterate that they will not relinquish power to a woman. The side that disregards the plight of citizens still reeling from yet another typhoon and calls reporters to a posh hotel.
On May 9, we will need to decide which side we are on. We will need to choose well. The destiny of a 100 million people over the next six years depend on it. – Rappler.com

‘We need urgent action on climate change’: GetUp sets sights on Goldstein
By Royce Millar
High-profile advocacy group GetUp has earmarked the contested seat of Goldstein as its top election priority in Victoria, announcing a climate change campaign aimed at toppling Liberal incumbent MP, Tim Wilson.
The campaign has received a lukewarm reception from independent candidate Zoe Daniel who is already under fire from Wilson and the Coalition over outsider activist support for her candidacy.
GetUp national director Paul Oosting said Goldstein was the group’s main interest in Victoria as part of a $2.5 million national election campaign, followed by Kooyong, held by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg.
Other seats targeted include those hit by climate-affected disasters or where climate is a key issue, including Macquarie, Eden-Monaro, Gilmore, and Page in regional NSW, Mackellar in Sydney and Ryan in Brisbane.
Oosting said Goldstein was chosen in part because of the group’s many active members in the area, the prominence of climate issues in the election campaign and because of what he described as Wilson’s poor record on climate action.
Mr Wilson is the assistant minister for industry, energy and emissions reduction. He has a long association with climate policy including in his time at the free market think tank, the Institute of Public Affairs.
“We are aiming to see progress on these (climate) issues from whoever forms government,” said Oosting. “We want to send a message that we need urgent action on climate change.”
He outlined a campaign including signage, stalls at shopping centres and “community-based calling parties” where volunteers run call centres contacting Goldstein constituents by phone.
Asked if he was concerned that prominent involvement by GetUp may backfire and work against the candidacy of Zoe Daniel, Oosting said: “We don’t take directions from others. We’re independent. For us, this is not about the election. It’s about making sure there is action on the issues that our members care about.”
In his public attacks on his opponent Daniel, Wilson has already made much of the involvement of “outsider” activist groups like GetUp, Extinction Rebellion and Climate 200 in the Goldstein campaign.
“While these outsiders are focused on changing our community, we are focused on improving our community and taking its values to the nation,” he said on Saturday.
Angela Pippos, a spokeswoman for Daniel, said GetUp had notified the Daniel camp about its Goldstein plan but only after the group had made its decision.
“Organisations with an interest in the election are entitled to make decisions aligned with what they see as being in their interests,” she said.
GetUp’s role in the 2019 election was controversial because five of the six seats targeted nationally returned Coalition MPs, including Peter Dutton in Dickson, Queensland, and Greg Hunt in Flinders, Victoria.
GetUp is surveying Goldstein candidates about their attitudes toward key climate issues and will then draw up its own how-to-vote cards for the seat.
Oosting denied GetUp was a wealthy organisation and stressed it relied heavily on volunteer labour. He said the group’s national campaign expenditure of up to $2.5 million was a fraction of that spent by fossil fuel lobbies and conservative parties.

Netflix are reportedly shooting a Christmas film in Birmingham - although it's all very hush-hush. The rumour comes after a TV crew was spotted near Colmore Row this week.
Clive Reeves, owner of Reeves PR, shared an image of the crew in the city centre on Wednesday. It shows two film cameras and allegedly actors involved in the shoot.
A dog can also be seen in the picture. Clive, owner of Reeves PR, tweeted: "Location for a Christmas film outside the @ReevesMedia office in Colmore this morning. Don't recognise the actor, or the dog!"

Emma Rowley, commenting underneath Clive's post, added: "It’s for the new Nativity film, I believe." The TV crew - including the dog - were also spotted in Brindleyplace on Thursday.
Rachelle Tuft, who walked past the crew, said the dog was "adorable". Birmingham has become a hotbed for big productions over the last 12 months.
Last year the city welcomed Amazon and ITV filming ' Citadel' and 'DI Ray ', respectively. Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise was also in the city for several days shooting upcoming Mission: Impossible 7.
The actor was seen over several days, including in Grand Central, while on set. He also famously enjoyed a curry at Asha's during his stay.
Film Birmingham, Birmingham City Council's media office, remained tight-lipped on the crew spotted this week. A spokesman said: "I cannot disclose details of the production I’m afraid at this stage.
"Film Birmingham facilitated the production. We look forward to shouting about it when it is publicly announced."

One Kiwi contender for next month's Queensland Derby bolted in over the weekend but punters should be cautious with another when Tutukaka lines up at Avondale tomorrow.
Trainer Tony Pike is taking his Karaka Classic Mile runner-up to the West Auckland track for what he believes will be an unsuitable 1400m, because it is the right thing to do in the lead-up to another Queensland campaign.
Tutukaka, a younger half-brother to Melody Belle, won in Queensland last season and is returning there for the A$1 million Derby on May 28, a classic in which he looks increasingly likely to meet fellow Cambridge galloper Pinarello.
The latter was dominant in the Championship Stakes at Pukekohe on Saturday and co-trainer Roger James says he will head to Queensland should he come through the run well.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.His performance saw him shorten dramatically in Derby markets but Pike isn't expecting Tutukaka to be quite as striking in race 5 tomorrow, which he says is just a starting point.
"We all know he is the class horse of the race and maybe that will get him home but really 1400m is on the short side for him," says Pike.
"He needs this run to get him up and going for the Rough Habit Stakes on May 14, which is his natural lead-up to the Derby.
"I am happy with the horse but not so happy with Avondale track coming up a heavy 9. I think that is going to be less than ideal for plenty of horses but Tutukaka needs to run so he will be lining up."
One rival who won't start if the track remains heavy is Western Springs, a talented three-year-old that James and training partner Robert Wellwood thought they may lose when he suffered a leg fracture in the Hawke's Bay Guineas in the spring.
"He is a really good horse but if the track is heavy he won't start and we will probably only line up two of ours," said James.
"The two-year-old filly Karakaze (R3, No 2) will start even on a heavy track because sometimes the juveniles just run their race even if they aren't handling it and we think she is a smart filly."
The stable were thrilled with Pinarello's win not just because it was a $120,000 race but the way he won suggests he is now a top racehorse.

Advertise with NZME."The penny has dropped for him now," says James.
"He has improved in his last four starts but Saturday he was able to actually jump and put himself in a good spot and that adds another string to his bow."
Pinarello went into the Group 2 having not raced for seven weeks, after he was scratched from the Manawatū Classic on April 2 because of a loose tooth discovered at the barriers.
James loves he could pull off that European-type training performance with a horse who hadn't raced in so long but says he is unlikely to try that again should they head to the Queensland Derby.
"I like the thought of it but I actually think it made him quite keen early on Saturday and we don't really want that in a Derby.
"So if we go to Queensland, which is the intention, he will likely start in the Rough Habit on the way to it," said James. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/racing-different-paths-to-queensland-derby-for-top-new-zealand-horses/EOGSIJTBTHNJ5AEPS5XEPG2WZY/ | 2022-04-24T10:23:55Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/racing-different-paths-to-queensland-derby-for-top-new-zealand-horses/EOGSIJTBTHNJ5AEPS5XEPG2WZY/ | false | 2 |
IN THE GARDEN | Take your cue from the veld
Wild and wonderfully colourful specimens at home in the garden too
If you take your cue from the wild veld surrounding us now to know what’s in flower, you would notice pretty pink and white flower-studded Lantana camara, the orange blooms of the wild dagga plant and Cape honeysuckle, complemented by the blue plumbago and bush violet.
The bonus of this season is that as the weather cools we feel more energised to appreciate the environment and inspired to contribute to it.
All the flowers in the veld are worthy of planting in the garden, except for Lantana camara which has a reputation as one of the worst weeds in the world for its toxicity to both man and animals.
That aside, there are childish games associated with nearly all the plants in flower now.
You could have been that unsuspecting child, as I was, cupping your hand over the dainty pink and white Lantana flower heads and tugging at them to fill your hand so you could shower them over a friend as flower confetti while proclaiming them as a “play-play” bride or groom.
No harm came to you then, but how different the game would have been if you had known that every part of the plant is poisonous.
Declared as a noxious weed since 1946, the tropical American native plant does kill cattle and people.
In KwaZulu-Natal, a quarter of animal deaths have been attributed to Lantana camara.
Children are known to have died from neuro-circulatory collapse after eating the shiny black-berried fruit of the Lantana camara.
Lantana is part of the verbena family which is hinted at by its similar pretty flower heads and rough, wrinkled leaves.
For obvious reasons you won’t find Lantana camara in the nursery but look out for Lantana montevidens.
It is a dainty but tough trailing plant producing bigger mauve-purple, yellow or white flowers and can be used to trail over embankments or trained into low hedges or borders.
It does well grown in containers and adapts to being planted into dry rock walls. It is perfect for tough conditions, especially coastal gardens.
The plant doesn’t form seeds but may be grown from cuttings. Plant it in the sun for assured flowering.
Another harmless bit of fun which you could teach your children or grandchildren is pulling off the individual flowers of the plumbago.
The sticky ends of the calyx may be pressed to your ear lobes and you could lark about together with them as huge blue dangly earrings.
The real purpose of the stickiness is to allow the flowers to stick to passing animals so the seeds are distributed.
The fast-growing perennial Plumbago auriculata — or leadwort as it is commonly known — grows to 3m x 3m.
Its main flowering season is from summer until the beginning of winter when they produce umbels of pale blue phlox-like flowers.
It does flower at other times of the year but not as regularly.
You may encourage them to flower more profusely if you cut back the spent stems as the new blooms are produced on young wood.
Royal Cape plumbago has darker blue flowers which put on a stunning show.
The white flowering plumbago (Plumbago auriculata f. alba) is perfect for those who only see their gardens in the twilight, as with all white flowers they take on a “glow” just before night falls.
Prune it every few years after winter. If left to itself, the plumbago branches will scramble up high into nearby trees, making a spectacle when flowering at these unexpected heights.
It is fast growing and drought resistant and will thrive in most soils. However, compost added to the soil serves it well.
Propagate the plant by removing the suckers from the parent plant.
A popular use by rural dwellers and others with thatched roofed houses involves including a stick of plumbago in the thatch to ward off lightning.
The Cape honeysuckle (Tecomaria capensis) currently providing fiery splashes of orange and yellow in the veld is a delight to long- beaked nectar-feeding birds and children who have discovered how to suck the nectar from the flowers.
This shrub is also indigenous to the Eastern Cape. You’ll notice banks of its yellow and orange colour growing along roadsides, bringing cheer to motorists on their travels.
The plant is self-rooting and may be easily shared with others or planted somewhere else in your garden.
Birthday reminders this time of year may be timed by the regular appearance of the bright blue flowering bush violet (Baleria obtusa).
Their appearance in the bush and gardens now is testament to its ease of growth and that it is indigenous to the Eastern Cape.
The bush violet is a multi-stemmed, drought resistant ‘shrub-let’ with a sprawling habit.
Grown in the sun or semi-shade of the garden it provides a good ground cover under the light shade of trees.
The baleria is also an excellent plant for tumbling down embankments.
Butterflies love the flowers and the plant also serves as a larval host plant.
It is a wilful plant that needs to be planted away from the neat formal areas of the garden.
As a scrambler, it can become untidy so prune it back fairly harshly to encourage neat and compact growth.
The plant is easily propagated from cuttings, seeds and layering.
Collect the seeds before they are dispersed by the plant as the capsules turn brown.
Though it is fairly drought resistant you may give it a boost by adding compost to the soil.
Wild dagga, minaret flower, (Leonitus leonurus), or commonly known as Lion’s Ear for its shaggy appearance, produces truly stunning orange flowers.
I recently used them in a flower arrangement for a formal occasion and was pleased with the result.
It is a hardy plant, fairly drought resistant but it does thrive in good moist soil.
The flowers are borne in dense spiky golf ball-sized heads spaced up the stems.
Orange tubular flowers sprout from the balls, giving an unusual affect. They flower from mid-autumn to winter.
The stems are velvety and if cut across can be seen as square.
Sunbirds feed on the flower’s nectar. The flowers also attract bees and butterflies.
Between the orange and white versions of the flowers there are colours in different shades of apricot and cream-white.
Prune it every few years after winter.
The plant will reseed itself in the garden. You may collect the seed after the seed heads have dried out. These may be sown in spring or early summer.
Plant young plants in well-composted soil and cover the soil surface with mulch.
Water the plants well during their growing season. The fast growing shrub grows up to 2-3m tall and 1.5m wide.

Minnesota health officials say they are committed to providing residents with a variety of COVID-19 testing options even as less reliable at-home tests become more common and have upended the way the pandemic is tracked.
The promise comes after the state discontinued its popular mail-order saliva testing program in March because of declining demand. Instead, Minnesotans can now order up to four free rapid tests, similar to those federal officials offered earlier this year.
Minnesota has committed more than $111 million to saliva testing and still uses it at community sites across the state. Early in the pandemic, it helped grow the state’s capacity and gave it one of the best testing rates in the Midwest.
“We have always tried to meet the moment,” said Daniel Huff, assistant health commissioner, who notes that while other options remain, rapid tests are quickly becoming the standard. “We want to meet Minnesotans where they are and the disease where it is so we can control it.”
Further upending the testing landscape, a recent change in federal rules means most schools, nursing homes, jails and other facilities that frequently screen for the coronavirus no longer are required to report negative results to the state. The change, coupled with the growing use of rapid tests that also are not reported, led the Minnesota Department of Health to stop reporting test-positivity rates altogether.
Since the pandemic began, test-positivity rates were an important and reliable metric of the size of the state’s outbreak.
Huff said the Minnesota Department of Health remains confident it can understand and track the future ebb and flow of coronavirus cases without test-positivity data. Other measures — such as the prevalence of virus genetic material in wastewater, hospital capacity, data modeling and syndromic surveillance — give a better picture of the state’s outbreak, he said.
“All scientists love data. However, in public health we want the data to be meaningful,” Huff said. “At the beginning of COVID, (test-positivity) was really important because we didn’t have other tracking mechanisms. Now we have a robust system. I would say our surveillance is better than it was in the past even with less complete testing data — because back then, we only had testing data.”
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
Coronavirus testing options were much different in the summer of 2020 when the state announced its initial $15 million partnership with Vault Health and Infinity BiologiX to bring the first, emergency-authorized COVID-19 saliva test to Minnesotans.
Before the saliva test, which was developed at Rutgers University, nasal swabs done by medical professionals were the norm and antigen tests were not widely available. The state used federal coronavirus aid to help with lab startup costs to process the tests locally.
By the fall of 2020, when the state-partnered saliva test processing lab opened in Oakdale, cases were on the rise and tests were increasingly difficult to find. With its partnership, Minnesota offered residents tests delivered to their front door, conducted in their homes, processed by mail and results via email within a few days.
The program proved popular, with more than 811,000 test kits ordered since it began in 2020. That’s nearly 30 percent of the more than 2.8 million COVID-19 tests performed through state-sponsored initiatives like community testing sites.
Since the pandemic began, more than 22 million COVID-19 tests have been conducted in Minnesota, the vast majority of those done by health care and other providers.
State health officials estimate the at-home saliva testing program alone cost the state about $32 million. It has officially ended, but residents who have unused, unexpired test kits can still use them.
Furthermore, Minnesota’s commitment to saliva testing goes beyond the at-home program. The state also has used the tests in schools and at community testing sites.
Over the pandemic, contracts with Vault Health and Infinity BiologiX for saliva testing grew from the initial $15 million investment to its current agreement that cannot exceed $111 million total.
Health officials are in the process of negotiating another extension to the contract first approved under the coronavirus state of emergency that would run through the end of May. Another longer agreement, done through competitive bidding, is also in the works.
Huff says the partnership has been a success, and it’s money well spent.
“I think the numbers speak for themselves,” he said. “We have the lowest death rate of any Upper Midwest state and a lot of that was the work we did before vaccines were available. Testing was a cornerstone of that strategy.”
PAST QUESTIONS ABOUT COST
Sorting out who would pay for coronavirus testing has been a bit of a labyrinth throughout the pandemic. Federal legislation initially required health insurers to cover the costs — up to a point — and state and federal dollars often covered the rest.
Minnesota’s contracts with Vault and Infinity BiologiX stipulate the cost of saliva testing varies from $87 to $120 per test depending on how the sample is collected. Often the testing companies billed insurance for the tests and the rest was covered by the state.
Minnesota health officials say on average, the state paid about $40 per test after insurance.
Last year, after some lawmakers and insurers questioned whether the cost per test was too high, the Office of the Legislative Auditor, a government watchdog, examined the pricing.
While the inquiry found questions from some insurers and managed care providers for how testing services were classified in bills, it concluded that no overpayments were made.
“Managed care organizations — acting on behalf of the state — scrutinized the claims submitted by Vault and (Infinity BiologiX) and paid a fraction of the amounts billed by the companies,” the legislative auditor’s report summary said.
EVOLVING OPTIONS
The pandemic, now in its third year, continues to confound health officials in a lot of ways. While they know more about the virus, it still behaves in unexpected ways.
Currently, the subvariant omicron BA.2, a relative of the strain that drove cases to record levels in January, is driving up cases in Minnesota. Other variants continue to be identified.
That means testing will need to be widely available and accessible well into the future. Minnesota plans to continue to offer a variety of options for residents at community sites and at home.
“It’s not an either/or; it’s a both/and strategy,” Huff said, noting the importance of options and the roughly two dozen community sites still in operation. “We will continue those at a level that we feel is appropriate to meet the demand and the need. We don’t want to dismantle prematurely and then have another surge.”
Yet as Minnesota learns to live with the pandemic, health officials say rapid at-home tests will be increasingly useful for residents to know if they are infected so they can react and help slow the spread.
“With everything, there’s trade-offs,” Huff said. “I think at this point in the pandemic, the costs are a lot cheaper with antigen tests; they’re a lot more likely to be used because I just have it in my medicine chest and I can just grab it when I need it and there’s a greater availability throughout the state.”
The Ravens went into each of the last two seasons believing they belonged on a shortlist of true Super Bowl contenders.
With Lamar Jackson at quarterback and former All-Pros at other premium positions such as cornerback and left tackle, they had the luxury of viewing the draft as an accessory package for their Cadillac.
That’s no longer the case in 2022 as they try to pick up the pieces from an 8-9 season in which they lost their last six games to dive-bomb out of the AFC playoff race. They still have Jackson and those other former All-Pros. Oddsmakers still treat them as a contender, albeit not a top-tier one. But they’re trying to climb back up the mountain with a roster that needs patching and fortifying at several key positions, from cornerback to offensive tackle to edge rusher.
General manager Eric DeCosta won’t just be looking for useful parts when the 2022 NFL draft — his fourth as the Ravens’ top football decision-maker — begins Thursday night. He needs core starters for a defense that fell to last in the league against the pass. And protectors for Jackson, who took far too many sacks last season.
Is this the team’s most important draft since 2018, when the Ravens traded into the last spot of the first round to select Jackson and set up a transition from the Joe Flacco era? No one with the team has said so explicitly, but there is a feeling that with nine picks in the first four rounds, DeCosta could go a long way toward fixing what ails the roster.
It’s a position that suits a general manager who learned to anticipate the draft like Christmas morning under his predecessor and mentor, Ozzie Newsome. As long as he’s running the show, it will “always be the foundation” of how the Ravens build, and reload, their team.
“We feel very good about where we’re situated right now,” DeCosta said earlier this month. “It’s a great opportunity for the club.”
Outside analysts also spoke of the Ravens’ position more in terms of opportunity than desperation. They suggested few front offices are better equipped to capitalize on a deluge of middle-round picks.
NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah, a former Ravens scout, noted that only five times in the last decade have teams drafted multiple Pro Bowl players in the third and fourth rounds of the same draft. The Ravens, with tight end Mark Andrews and tackle Orlando Brown Jr. in 2018 and nose tackle Brandon Williams and fullback Kyle Juszczyk in 2013, accounted for two of the five examples Jeremiah’s researchers unearthed.
“So they’re very confident about what they can accomplish in that part of the draft,” he said.
Drafting was a part of the job DeCosta did not have to grow accustomed to after his promotion in 2019. He had sat at Newsome’s right hand and served as his chief counsel on so many stellar picks, along with some inevitable stinkers. But with three drafts under his general manager’s belt, he has started to face some criticism from fans, who see his track record as mixed at best.
The 2019 class was particularly rough; of the eight players DeCosta selected, only first-round pick Marquise Brown is projected to start for the Ravens in 2022 (though fourth-round pick Ben Powers will compete for snaps at left guard). The 2020 class yielded more contributors, but first-round pick Patrick Queen is still searching for week-to-week consistency, and second-round pick J.K. Dobbins is trying to bounce back from a torn ACL. The 2021 group got off to a promising start, with first-round picks Rashod Bateman and Odafe Oweh flashing star potential as rookies.
DeCosta has spoken openly about his team’s needs for next-generation help at cornerback, offensive tackle, defensive line and edge rusher. Given how thin the Ravens are at key positions on defense, they cannot afford to come up empty in the third and fourth rounds. Even owner Steve Bisciotti alluded to their needs in a rare session with reporters last month, saying “it could be an all-defensive draft for all I know.”
At the same time, DeCosta is a realist who views the draft as a volume game rather than a precision exercise. Though he’d like to think all five of his fourth-round picks will help the Ravens immediately, he knows the odds are against it. He and director of player personnel Joe Hortiz do not have to be prefect in their assessments to make significant improvements to the roster. Their pile of third- and fourth-round picks will afford them room for a few misses and give them flexibility to move up for specific players if they choose.
“I think we do have a lot of flexibility, which is something that we covet — having the chance to move up and down,” DeCosta said. “Sometimes, you get into a situation, we see it with other teams, where they want to do a trade with us and they want to maneuver, but they don’t have the picks to do it. … So, having picks in the first, second, third and fourth round, and then also a sixth-round pick, I think, gives us the flexibility to do whatever we want to do.”
ESPN analyst Todd McShay said he could see the Ravens trading down to accumulate even more total picks.
“They’ve always done a good job with their picks and knowing when to move around,” he said. “It wouldn’t shock me at all with that 14th pick if they end up moving back. That’s an area where some teams are, I would guess, moving up to try and get a wide receiver. … Eric DeCosta and that Ravens organization, for years, have done a great job of taking advantage of other teams when they’re — I don’t want to say desperate — but they’re eager to move up for a guy.”
The problem, other analysts said, is that with so few teams enamored of the quarterback prospects in this class, there aren’t many looking to trade up. They’d rather hold multiple picks in the 20-50 range.
“You talk to other GMs around the league, I think that’s kind of actually the target area, is kind of that late first, early second,” Jeremiah said. “It’s kind of the sweet spot of this draft.”
This is a year when few analysts seem thrilled with the talent at the top of the draft but most see a greater volume of draftable players because the pandemic caused so many prospects spent an extra year in college.
Jeremiah, for example, said he usually runs out of players he wants to study around the 350 or 360 mark. This year, he easily found 400 that might be worthy of roster spots.
DeCosta and Hortiz have made similar comments about the depth of their board.
“I think COVID, the extra year the players had, it allows the board to kind of beef up toward the bottom, Day 3 of the draft,” Hortiz said. “So, I’d say, when you look at the volume of players on our board compared to previous boards, it’s probably a little bit higher.”
It’s good news for a team that needs immediate contributors at every level of its defense, not to mention insurance policies at offensive tackle, running back and perhaps center or tight end.

TOKYO — Japan's guard says 10 of the 26 people aboard a tour boat that sank in the frigid waters of a northern national park have been confirmed dead.
The search for the others is still ongoing a day after the boat sent a distress call saying it was sinking.
The coast guard said Sunday that the bodies of the 10 victims included seven men and three women.
There were two crew and 24 passengers, including two children, on the tour boat when it ran into troubles on Saturday afternoon near the tip of Shiretoko Peninsula.
The location is known as a difficult place to maneuver boats because of its rocky coastline.
The Transport Ministry has launched an investigation into the boat's operator, which had two accidents last year.
The Japanese Coast Guard said Sunday that rescue helicopters found nine of the 26 people from a tour boat missing in the frigid waters of northern Japan since the day before, but their conditions were unknown.
The Transport Ministry, meanwhile, launched an investigation into the boat's operator over its safety standards and its decision to conduct the tour despite rough weather on Saturday.
"We will thoroughly investigate what caused this situation and what kind of safety oversight was involved to allow the tour in order to prevent another accident," Transport Minister Tetsuo Saito, who visited the area Sunday, told reporters.
The ministry will also investigate if or how Saturday's accident was related to two previous accidents involving the same boat last year, Saito said. The operator had been instructed to take steps to improve its safety following the incidents.
The coast guard confirmed that the same boat went aground in the area last June, though nobody was injured in that accident. In May, the boat collided with an object at sea, causing minor injuries to three passengers.
Rescuers intensified their search earlier Sunday and found four people near the tip of Shiretoko Peninsula and five more people in the same area a few hours later, but the coast guard said it could not confirm whether they were rescued alive. NHK public television said they were unconscious.
The coast guard said all nine people were found in the area near the tip of the peninsula north of where the boat sent a distress call on Saturday. The location is known as a difficult place to maneuver boats because of its rocky coastline.
Footage on NHK showed one of the rescued people arriving on a helicopter and being transferred to an ambulance on a stretcher, while rescuers held up blue plastic shields for privacy.
An orange-colored, square-shaped lifesaving float with the boat's name on it was also seen on the rocky coast.
The boat carrying 24 passengers, including two children, and two crew members went missing after sending a distress call, saying it took on water and was beginning to sink.
The first report of Sunday's rescue came after nearly 19 hours of intense search involving six patrol boats, several aircraft and divers. The coast guard said the search continued through the night and has since expanded, with local fishing and tour boats joining the efforts, while the Self Defense Force dispatched a destroyer and three planes.
The 19-ton Kazu 1 made an emergency call early Saturday afternoon, saying the ship's bow had flooded and that it was beginning to sink and tilt, while traveling off the western coast of Shiretoko Peninsula on the northern island of Hokkaido, the coast guard said.
The tour boat has since lost contact, according to the coast guard. Seventeen people are still missing. The coast guard said the operator told them that everyone on the boat was wearing a life vest.
Average April sea temperatures in Shiretoko National Park are just above freezing.
An official for the vessel's operator, Shiretoko Pleasure Cruise, said he could not comment because he had to respond to calls from worried families of the passengers.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who was attending a two-day summit in Kumamoto in southern Japan, canceled his program for the second day and returned to Tokyo. He told reporters in the early hours of Sunday that he instructed officials "to do everything they can for the rescue."
The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but experts suspect there may be a safety negligence, and the boat ran aground and was damaged in rough seas in an area known for strong currents and a rocky coastline.
High waves and strong winds were observed in the area around noon, according to a local fisheries cooperative. Japanese media reports said fishing boats had returned to port before noon because of the bad weather.
NHK said there was a warning for high waves of up to 3 meters (9 feet).
A tour boat crew belonging to another operator told NHK that he warned of rough seas when he spotted the Kazu 1 crew and told them not to go. He said the same boat went aground last year and suffered a crack on its bow.
Yoshihiko Yamada, a Tokai University marine science professor, said the boat was likely to have run aground after it was tossed around in high waves and damaged, flooded and probably sank. A tour boat of that size usually does not carry a life boat, and passengers possibly could not escape a rapidly sinking vessel with its windows likely closed to shield them from strong winds.
In an interview with TBS television, Yamada said there was also a slight possibility the boat could have been hit by a whale.
The cold temperature and strong wind could cause hypothermia and put the passengers in severe conditions for survival, according to Jun Abe, vice chairman of the Society of Water Rescue and Survival Research. "It's a very severe condition especially when they are wet," Abe told TBS.
According to the operator's website, the tour takes around three hours and offers scenic views of the western coast of the peninsula and includes potential sightings of animals such as whales, dolphins and brown bears. The national park is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is famous as the southernmost region to see drifting sea ice.

The pair came in after November's sacking of Markus Schopp, but had a break clause in their contracts which could be exercised if the club were relegated.
The Reds have decided to do that after their relegation from the Championship was confirmed on Friday night.
Asbaghi left his job as coach of Sweden's Under-21s to take over at Oakwell with the hosts four points adrift of safety after 17 matches. They were 14 points above a Derby County side whose points tally was still in the minuses after punishments over financial issues at Pride Park.
The 36-year-old won five and lost 17 of his 28 matches and left with the club bottom of the table, and relegation confirmed after a 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield Town.
Just five of the points he gleaned came away from home, with the only win at Hull City. Another victory came against League Two Barrow in the FA Cup, but only 5-4 after extra-time.
It was a huge comedown for a club who reached the play-off semi-finals last season but the tone for 2020-21 was set before Asbaghi's arrival.
Valerien Ismael left for West Bromwich Albion and took key members of his coaching staff and captain Alex Mowatt with him. Striker Daryl Dike, who had been on loan from Major League Soccer, did not return. At the same time, chief executive Dane Murphy left.
Barnsley's recruitment of replacements was very poor. Schopp tried to change from Ismael's more direct style of football with no success, and big summer signings Obbi Oulare and Aaron Leya Iseka arrived unfit. Leya was unable to have a significant impact when he got fit, Oulare never really did, and was loaned out in January.
Asbaghi improved things a little, but not enough to spare him from criticism from the terraces.
The January deadline-day loan signings of Domingos Quina and Amine Bassi gave the team more attacking threat but it was too little, too late.
Sibila took charge of the team for a short spell in January when Asbaghi was isolating with Covid-19.
Naturally Asbaghi was asked about his future after the game, but said he would be taking Monday's press conference for the Tuesday Championship game at home to Blackpool, and that the club would have to spend the remainder of the season thinking hard about its future and identifying what had gone wrong.
They appear to have reached their first conclusion quickly.
Despite Asbaghi's Friday-night comments, the decision has been described as being reached "by mutual consent".
Asbaghi described his time at Oakwell as "a real privilege.”
Chief executive Khaled El-Ahmad stressed: “Our search for a new coach has already started and an announcement will follow once that process is concluded.”
Martin Devaney will take charge for the rest of the season, assisted by Tom Harban and Jo Laumann. | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/poya-asbaghi-sacked-as-barnsley-coach-following-relegation-to-league-one-3666319 | 2022-04-24T10:45:45Z | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/poya-asbaghi-sacked-as-barnsley-coach-following-relegation-to-league-one-3666319 | false | 2 |

Mumbai: A Mumbai court Sunday rejected the city police’s demand for the custody of independent MP Navneet Rana and her MLA husband Ravi Rana and remanded the couple in 14-day judicial custody, an official said.
Navneet Rana will be sent to the Byculla women’s jail, while her husband will be sent to the Arthur Road jail, the official said.
The Mumbai police Saturday evening arrested Badnera MLA Ravi Rana and his wife Navneet Rana, the MP from Amravati in Maharashtra, for allegedly “creating enmity between different groups”.
The development came hours after the couple cancelled their plan to recite the Hanuman Chalisa outside Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s private residence `Matoshree’ here.
The Ranas were booked under Sections 153 (A) (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) and 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) , and Section 135 of the Mumbai Police Act (violation of prohibitory orders of police), officials earlier said.
Both of them were Sunday produced before a court in Bandra which sent them to judicial custody for 14 days, public prosecutor Pradip Gharat said.
“Charges under IPC Section 124-A (sedition) are made out against them as they had challenged the government machinery and made remarks against Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray,” the prosecutor said.
The court will hear their bail application April 29, he added.
Advocate Rizwan Merchant, representing Ranas, said “Two separate FIRs were registered against the couple at Khar police station. All the charges are baseless and we will apply for bail.”

For three days, Johnny Depp has been testifying in a libel trial that, at least in theory, is about whether Amber Heard defamed him in a 2018 newspaper op-ed.
The trial has turned into a spectacle in which Depp has testified about everything from taking pills as a child to a near mental breakdown in which the actor said he used his severed finger to write on the walls in his own blood to recount his ex-wife’s alleged lies.
WHY IS DEPP DOING THIS?
Heard’s lawyers had warned that the trial would be a mudslinging soap operathat would expose the “real Johnny Depp.” Depp denies ever abusing Heard and, despite the public attention brought to his drug use and his violent text messages, he said he’s obsessed with revealing the truth and doesn’t want to disappoint those who’d looked up to him.
“My goal is the truth because it killed me that all these people I had met over the years … that these people would think that I was a fraud,” Depp testified Tuesday.
The actor has said that his movie career suffered after Heard wrote a 2018 op-ed piece in The Washington Post in which she referred to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”
Heard never mentioned Depp by name, but Depp’s lawyers said it was a clear reference to accusations Heard made when she sought a 2016 restraining order against him.
Depp said the accusations and the article made him a Hollywood outcast and cost him his role in the lucrative “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie franchise.
Heard’s lawyers have argued that Heard’s opinion piece was accurate and didn’t defame him. They’ve said Depp’s ruined reputation was due to his own bad behavior and have argued that The Walt Disney Co. had already decided to ax Depp from “Pirates of the Caribbean” months before the article’s publication.
WHAT ARE HEARD’S ALLEGATIONS?
Heard has accused Depp of physically and sexually assaulting her on multiple occasions before and during their brief marriage, often in situations where she said he drank so much he later blacked out.
Depp said Heard’s allegations of his substance abuse have been “grossly embellished” and that he was never out of control during that time period. The two met in 2009, got married in 2015 and Heard filed for divorce a year later.
Heard’s attorneys have highlighted many text messages Depp sent to friends recounting the copious amount of alcohol and drugs he had taken at a time in which he claims he wasn’t a problematic drinker.
Depp filed a similar lawsuit in England against a newspaper there and lost. The judge there found that Depp assaulted Heard on a dozen occasions and put her in fear for her life multiple times.
Heard is expected to testify later in the trial.
HOW DID DEPP AND HEARD MEET?
Depp and Heard met through the filming of “The Rum Diary,” a 2011 Depp-produced movie based upon an initially unpublished novel by the late Hunter S. Thompson that Depp discovered while going through the gonzo journalist’s papers with Thompson, his friend.
Depp said Heard was the perfect embodiment of the book’s femme fatale character named Chenault. “That’s the Chenault that Hunter wants,” Depp recalled. “Yep, she could definitely kill me.”
They started dating a few years later, with Depp portraying the early part of their relationship as a classic Hollywood romance. Depp would call Heard “Slim,” while she called him “Steve,” nicknames used by the Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall characters in the 1944 film “To Have and Have Not.”
Depp, 58, said he was also cognizant of the age difference between himself and Heard, 36, and compared it to the 25-year gap between Bogart and Bacall.
“I acknowledge the fact I was the old, craggy fogey and she was this beautiful creature,” he said.
HOW DID THEIR MARRIAGE FALL APART?
Depp said things began to change in his marriage when he felt that he “was suddenly just wrong about everything” in Heard’s eyes.
Depp said Heard made little digs at him, demeaned and berated him. The insults escalated into full-fledged circular arguments from which there was “no way in or out,” Depp said. “It was sort of a rapid-fire, sort of endless parade of insults,” Depp said.
Soon after, Heard began physically attacking him, Depp said. He said she once threw two bottles of vodka at him, the second of which exploded and severed his finger to the point where bone was exposed. Depp said he used the resulting blood to write on his walls and recount lies in which he had caught Heard. At the hospital, Depp said he lied to protect Heard and told the doctors that he had injured himself. Heard’s lawyers contend he cut his own finger.
WHAT HAPPENED ON THE BOSTON FLIGHT?
One of the chief points in contention is what occurred on a 2014 private flight from Boston to Los Angeles that Depp and Heard took while he was filming the gangster film “Black Mass.”
Heard has said Depp assaulted her on the flight while he was blackout drunk.
Depp testified he took two oxycodone pills — an opiate to which he admits he was addicted at the time — and locked himself in the plane bathroom and fell asleep to avoid her badgering.
He told the court that he drank only a glass of Champagne while boarding the flight. But texts he sent to the actor Paul Bettany at the time referenced drinking half a bottle of whiskey, “a thousand Red Bull vodkas” and two bottles of Champagne before the flight.
Heard’s attorneys have also pointed to text messages Depp sent to Heard after the flight, saying, “Once again I find myself in a place of shame and regret. … I must get better.”
WHAT ELSE DID DEPP TEXT?
Heard’s attorneys have focused on text messages Depp sent to Bettany in which he expressed a desire to kill and defile Heard.
After saying he wanted to burn her, Depp wrote, “Let’s drown her before we burn her!!! I will (expletive) her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she’s dead.”
Depp has apologized to the jury for the vulgar language and said that “in the heat of the pain I was feeling, I went to dark places.” He also compared his writing to Thompson’s gonzo style, which often incorporated brash language and embellished thoughts.
MOMENTS OF LEVITY
Despite the dark accusations and profane text messages being read to the court, Depp’s testimony has on occasion featured humorous moments.
Asked whether he would sometimes drink whiskey in the morning, Depp responded, “I mean, isn’t happy hour any time?”
And asked whether he had ever given pills to musician Marilyn Manson, Depp conceded that he once gave Manson a pill to get him to “stop talking so much.”
Depp also admitted that he’s never watched “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” the 2003 megahit in which he played the unhinged Captain Jack Sparrow. Asked how the film fared, Depp smiled and said, “I didn’t see it, but … well, the film did pretty well, apparently.”
And then there’s the bizarre matter of the alleged penis vandalism. Heard’s attorney repeatedly asked Depp whether he was responsible for drawing a penis on a painting inside his home shortly after the actor said Heard severed his finger. “Drawing a penis on a painting was not the first thing on my mind,” Depp testified.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IN VIRGINIA?
The trial is taking place in Fairfax County Circuit Court in Fairfax, Virginia.
Heard’s lawyers had sought to have the case tried in California, where the actors reside. But a judge ruled that Depp was within his rights to bring the case in Virginia because The Washington Post’s computer servers for its online edition are located in the county.
Depp’s lawyers have said they brought the case in Virginia in part because the laws here are more favorable to their case. | https://www.ktsm.com/news/national/explainer-johnny-depps-wild-testimony-cross-examination/ | 2022-04-24T10:55:36Z | https://www.ktsm.com/news/national/explainer-johnny-depps-wild-testimony-cross-examination/ | false | 59 |

DEAR ABBY: Several years ago, my parents betrayed my son and me. They took in and supported my ex-husband, who walked out on us for a coworker he was cheating with. My son and I lost our home, our car and the life we knew without support from any family. My son was still in high school, and it was a dark time in both of our lives.
My parents are both older and have been diagnosed with life-threatening conditions. They are now reaching out to us. To say the least, I am apprehensive. Having to go through what I did with only the support of my friends and son made me stronger, and I (literally and figuratively) have moved on.
I don’t know if I should reconsider a relationship with my parents. Losing my father’s support was harder than losing my husband, and I don’t want to experience that pain again. Can you advise? -- BURNED IN TENNESSEE
DEAR BURNED: You did not desert your parents; your parents deserted you when you needed them most. To you and your son’s credit, you moved forward and created a chosen family from the people who showed they cared about you.
Your parents chose your husband and his lady friend. Have they ever apologized or tried to make amends? You stated that you have “literally and figuratively” moved on. If your parents haven’t done that, my advice would be for you to continue moving on.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: I am a 41-year-old gay man who is living with my boyfriend and older parents. Five years ago, I was divorced from someone I was in a relationship with for 10 years and married to for five. Our split was amicable and civil. We still speak occasionally.
I recently bought a ring for my boyfriend. We have been dating almost five years (we met soon after my divorce) and I want to get married again. Last time, I was the one asked. This time, I’m doing the proposing, and even asked his parents out of respect.
Although I have the ring, for some reason I can’t decide how, where or when I am going to propose. Because of the way my marriage ended, I feel terrible guilt for even thinking about asking someone to marry me. I no longer have feelings for my ex (that’s one of the reasons it ended), but I have tremendous respect for him. I don’t hate him (like many divorcees), and I feel it would be stabbing him in the back.
I know he regrets asking for the divorce, as he’ll make passing comments to that effect when we speak. I brush it off, but I can’t brush off this guilt I’m carrying for moving on. Am I wrong? Are these thoughts normal? -- HESITATING IN NEW JERSEY
DEAR HESITATING: Excuse me. Your ex-husband asked YOU for the divorce and YOU feel guilty for moving on? It doesn’t seem to me like you have moved on very far. It’s just as well that you haven’t proposed to your boyfriend. Until you finally figure out where your heart lies, you should absolutely NOT pop the question -- even if the parents of the current man in your life say they approve.

Exclusive: Ukrainian children fall ill during long UK visa wait as mum 'regrets applying'
24 April 2022, 10:05 | Updated: 24 April 2022, 10:07
A Ukrainian mother who fled Mariupol says she "regrets applying to come to the UK", as her two children have fallen ill in a Polish refugee camp whilst waiting more than a month for visas.
Listen to this article
Loading audio...
Chris Katsis, 67, is offering refuge at his home in Kent to Anastasia Sorokina, 28, her two children Miraslava, 5, and Danil, 2, along with her mother Yelzaveta, 51, through the UK Government's Homes for Ukraine Scheme.
Mr Katsis has told LBC he is now "desperate", as the family, who fled their home near the besieged city of Mariupol, have fallen badly ill whilst waiting almost five weeks for their visas, and are now in a camp "without any doctors or medical treatment".
He says 5-year-old Mira has been suffering PTSD like symptoms, including collapsing and feeling nauseous.
It is also believed there has been a Covid-19 outbreak at the camp in Rzeszów and the family has developed chest pains, high temperatures and severe coughs.
Mr Katsis, who is a semi-retired medical counsellor, told LBC Mira had been receiving treatment until they were forced to move to the Rzeszów camp on April 14th.
"It's only student doctors working at that camp and they haven't been offered any diagnosis or medical treatment.
"I have a fear this family are going to die in that camp. They're now in a situation easily equivalent to the one they were in in Mariupol."

Mr Katsis says their visa applications were submitted during the first week of the Homes for Ukraine Scheme, on the 22nd March.
The family then completed biometrics on the 25th March, and received an email confirming their details had been submitted correctly.
But last week, after almost a month of waiting, Mr Katsis claims they received notification of a "problem" with the biometric details for Anastasia's youngest son Danil, 2, and mother Yelzaveta, 51.
The family have told LBC they were informed some of their data had "disappeared from the system". Mr Katsis says he spoke with Anastasia on a video call on Friday.
He said: "What I saw in Anastasia was the same thing I saw in her when she was fleeing Ukraine. The same feeling, the same fear for her children and mother.
"I feel guilty. I showed them pictures of a home that is waiting for them, that has been waiting for them for weeks, and the kids smiled. I gave them hope.
"Three weeks on they're in a camp, no doctors or medical treatment to hand for anyone, and then Covid hits. What have they got now? How is that any better than what they had with the bombs falling on them?"
Mr Katsis says Anastasia now feels "misled and cheated".
Earlier this month LBC revealed British hosts who applied for the Homes for Ukraine scheme in the first week of it's launch believe their data has been lost.
Hundreds of applicants who submitted details between 18th - 24th March have expressed frustration they've since heard nothing in return. Behind each one is a Ukrainian refugee waiting to come to safety in the UK.
Frustrated would-be host Louise Marcinkevice believes she has been affected by the apparent error, and has told LBC she has connected with more than 600 other British sponsors who are still waiting for progress, despite applying at the beginning of the scheme. She has been collecting their data and forwarding it to the Home Office every day.
Chris Katsis fears Anastasia and her family have been affected, as they applied within the first week.
The Home Office told LBC they are "unaware" with any issues with Anastasia's family's case, which is "rapidly making progress, and is being closely monitored".
A Home Office spokesperson said: "We stand shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine and the changes we've made to the visa process are making it quicker and simpler for Ukrainians to come here, as well as ensuring those already here can stay.
"Valid passport holders no longer have to attend in-person appointments to submit fingerprints or facial verification, and we have also expanded capacity at our Visa Application Centres to 13,000 appointments per week across Europe to help those without their documentation.
"This week, the Government's sponsorship route opened to allow Ukrainians with no family ties to the UK to come here and we will continue to work closely with our Ukrainian partners to deliver the measures we have put in place." | https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/homes-for-ukraine-children-ill-uk-visa-wait-scheme/ | 2022-04-24T11:09:07Z | https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/homes-for-ukraine-children-ill-uk-visa-wait-scheme/ | true | 1 |

Trolled on social media, Army deletes tweet on 'iftaar' party in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district
The now-deleted tweet on the Twitter handle of PRO Defence Jammu read 'keeping alive the traditions of secularism, an Iftaar was organized by the Indian Army at Arnora in Doda district'.

JAMMU: The Army's tweet about holding of an 'Iftaar' party for the civilian population in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district was removed after trolling allegedly by extremist elements who felt offended by the pictures highlighting the secular character of the armed forces.
The now-deleted tweet on the Twitter handle of PRO Defence Jammu read "keeping alive the traditions of secularism, an Iftaar was organized by the Indian Army at Arnora in Doda district". It was accompanied by several photographs showing the Army and civilian breaking the Ramzan fast together, a senior officer interacting with locals and a uniformed person joining 'Namaz' (prayers).
अब यह बीमारी भारतीय सेना में भी घुस गईं हैं? दुःखद … https://t.co/AiRkdLUUBl
— Suresh Chavhanke “Sudarshan News” (@SureshChavhanke) April 21, 2022
However, the tweet, which was uploaded on April 21, was deleted within hours after the handle came under attack from the trolls who were apparently against the secular character of the Army, a practice followed by the force which holds 'Sarva Dharma Sthal' -- a place of worship for all religions in all its formations across the country.
Though an Army spokesperson declined to comment on the issue, an Army officer on the condition of anonymity said the force had not only tweeted about the function but also issued an official release as Iftaar parties are a regular feature during the fasting month of Ramzan to build a strong bond with the public.
It was surprising and sad to see the reaction of certain people to the tweet which triggered unnecessary debate and was killing the basic message of upholding communal harmony, the officer said. "Now this disease has spread even in the Indian Army? Sad," a tweet in Hindi by a social media user referring to the Army hosting the Iftaar party triggered a debate in support and against the Army.
Indian Army has been at the forefront of interfaith harmony.

However, the removal of the tweet from the Army handle did not go down well with the veteran soldiers. "Indian Army has been at the forefront of interfaith harmony. We as officers take pride in the fact that we have NO religion, we just adopt the religion of the troops we command," Maj Gen (retd) Yash Mor tweeted. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/apr/23/trolled-on-social-media-army-deletes-tweet-on-iftaar-party-in-jammu-and-kashmirs-doda-district-2445702.html | 2022-04-24T11:24:56Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/apr/23/trolled-on-social-media-army-deletes-tweet-on-iftaar-party-in-jammu-and-kashmirs-doda-district-2445702.html | false | 5 |

Equitable access to higher education is central to NAU’s mission. A college degree can open countless doors for talented, hardworking students to build a better future for themselves and their communities, powering economic and social mobility. Students with a well-rounded education are better prepared to be a part of the workforce of the future and realize their personal and career aspirations. NAU, through its impactful and responsive academic programs, is an engine of opportunity, with high-quality programs aligned to statewide workforce needs and is committed to serving Arizona’s students and communities.
This begins with ensuring that all Arizonans can pursue a higher education and participate in high-impact practices such as research, internships and mentoring to help them excel. These opportunities begin in our K-12 schools, extend to our partners in Career and Technical Education and at Coconino Community College and the partnerships we develop to make these pathways seamless for students are vital. Addressing the needs of students from historically underserved communities, NAU is re-envisioning what is required to increase college attainment in Arizona for the benefit of individual social mobility and our communities’ quality of life and economic prosperity.
People are also reading…
“At NAU, our mission is to be a leading university for access, success, and equitable postsecondary value,” President José Luis Cruz Rivera said. “I am excited to see the creative problem-solving and collaboration both on campus and throughout our communities to give all of our students the opportunities they need to be successful both in school and throughout their lives.”
New admissions program
In February, NAU announced a groundbreaking new admissions pilot program, which grants hard working students who graduate from an accredited Arizona high school with a GPA of 3.0 assured admission into NAU. An estimated 50,000 Arizona students who went to high schools that didn’t have all the required courses did not meet admission requirements, no matter how qualified or prepared they were, which disproportionately affects students from rural or low-income areas. Soon, this will no longer hold them back from a college degree.
NAU’s data shows that the best indicator for student success is high school GPA, which is not changing. The pilot program also reimagines student support services so all students will have a pathway to lifelong success through education at NAU. It’s part of a multi-year effort to make NAU more accessible, more affordable and more committed to empowering the success of Arizonans.
$81 million in high-impact public and private funding
The Arizona Board of Regents, through the Technology and Research Fund (TRIF), and the NAU Foundation collaboratively allocated almost $81 million to NAU to fund a three-year effort that focuses on increasing access and workforce development programs to meet the needs of Arizona’s booming economy and support impactful research and scholarship that contributes to knowledge and solutions that benefit the state and the world.
These funds will support NAU’s teacher-scholars in developing and expanding workforce development programs; contribute to projects that support the intersections between research and experiential learning opportunities; and invest in programs that broaden participation, improve completion rates, and strengthen post-college outcomes. It’s indicative of the statewide efforts to reach all Arizona students and ensure they are given these educational opportunities.
Hispanic Serving Institution status
Last year, NAU met the criteria to become a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), which makes available additional resources to help all students at the university succeed in college. This designation is about increasing access to education in Arizona and committing to serve the students we admit through to graduation. Expanded opportunities under this designation provide NAU an opportunity to increase experiential learning, enhance student services, provide additional financial and social support, expand mentoring programs tailored to diverse student populations and ensure that our expanded student population finds a home at NAU. NAU is taking steps to support underserved and underrepresented students and reaching out to K-12 teachers and students to help lay the groundwork for students to be successful in college.
In testimony to a congressional subcommittee, President Cruz Rivera put forward several recommendations to help HSIs, including increasing Pell grants, increasing data transparency among K-12 education, and bolstering infrastructure at HSIs—all areas of focus at NAU as the university expands its work in serving Hispanic students from throughout Arizona.
Honors Native American Summer Research Program
This summer, NAU is opening a five-week research program for Native American and Indigenous students, who will live on campus, work closely with faculty, peer mentors and each other and participate in research in their fields of study. The goal of this program, which is open to students of all majors, is to support students who may not have had a chance to do undergraduate research to engage in this high-impact activity that supports their development as students and scholars and makes them more competitive in the job market and when applying for graduate programs.
The program builds on NAU’s longstanding commitment to Native American and Indigenous communities and the impactful and engaged scholarship of NAU faculty that both addresses local and regional challenges and helps foster career growth among aspiring student researchers.
Arizona Teacher Residency
This pioneering program, introduced last year as a partnership between NAU and State Superintendent Kathy Hoffman, aims to help recruit, prepare, support and retain K-12 teachers in the midst of an unprecedented statewide teacher shortage. The residency program, which is funded with a $5 million grant from the Arizona Department of Education and run by the Arizona K-12 Center, includes a summer institute, a year of in-school apprenticeship, a living stipend and a funded master’s degree program at NAU for aspiring teachers, who then commit to stay in their partner districts for at least three years to give back to the next generation of Arizonans. It offers the resources needed to help keep this talent in Arizona schools.
The New NAU Workplace
NAU is embracing the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic about how to shape the innovative workplace of the future—flexibility, creativity, innovation and collaboration. And it doesn’t always mean being in the same physical office as your colleagues. Earlier this year, NAU announced a new approach to the workplace that makes the campus hybrid-first, allowing employees have flexible in-person and remote work schedules, as well as implementing a new True Blue Fridays program, which will allow most university offices to be closed or work at reduced capacity on Fridays in the summer. | https://azdailysun.com/special-section/nau-finding-innovative-ways-to-expand-access-opportunities-for-all-students/article_353856de-94cd-5f46-9190-e4ca58d6bafb.html | 2022-04-24T11:27:07Z | https://azdailysun.com/special-section/nau-finding-innovative-ways-to-expand-access-opportunities-for-all-students/article_353856de-94cd-5f46-9190-e4ca58d6bafb.html | true | 1 |

NEW YORK – Toronto forward Scottie Barnes was voted NBA Rookie of the Year on Saturday, edging Cleveland’s Evan Mobley.
“That’s a big award, that’s one of the biggies,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said.
Barnes got 48 first-place votes and 378 points from a global panel of 100 writers and broadcasters. Mobley received 43 first-place votes and finished with 363 points.
“Of course it was a goal of mine all year to try to win it, but I didn’t really try to overthink it or try to do so much,” Barnes said. “I just did my role, did what I had to do. Winning helps with it as well.”
Barnes helped engineer a turnaround in Toronto, where the Raptors went 48-34 after finishing 27-45 and missing the playoffs last season.
The difference of 15 points was the smallest margin in the rookie category under the current voting format that began with the 2002-03 season. Players receive five points for a first-place vote, three points for a second-place vote and one point for third.
The award was announced shortly before the Raptors hosted Philadelphia in Game 4 of their first-round series, trailing 3-0.
Coming off the bench, Barnes returned after missing the previous two games with a sprained left ankle. He finished with six points and 11 rebounds in 25 minutes as Toronto won 110-102 to stave off elimination.
“We got a great boost off the bench from Scottie with his rebounding and just his presence,” Nurse said
Barnes averaged 15.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 35.4 minutes per game, starting all of the 74 games he played. He led all rookies in minutes and was third in points and rebounds.
“He’s going to continue to get better, continue to grow, but it was a great moment,” Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. said. ““I’m ecstatic for him, and it’s a great thing.”
The No. 4 draft pick after one season at Florida State joined Vince Carter (1999) and Damon Stoudamire (1995-96) as Toronto players to be voted Rookie of the Year. Barnes was informed he had won by Carter during a video appearance at Friday’s practice.
“I was wondering what he was talking to us about,” Barnes said. “He was just going on and I was starting to realize.”
Nurse said Barnes’ award was a welcome change after Toronto lost in overtime Wednesday, falling behind 3-0 to the 76ers.
“It was a good moment to share as a team because, like all of us here, being down 3-0, there wasn’t a lot of great moments to think about,” Nurse said. “So that was a good boost.”
Barnes was the only rookie to rank in the top five in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.
“What you see on the court is exactly who Scottie is: enthusiastic. Joyful. Athletic. Skilled, and a winner,” Raptors President Masai Ujiri said in a statement. “We — and our fans — loved seeing his development through this season, and we can’t wait to see what the future brings.”
Mobley, taken one pick before Barnes, helped spark a similar turnaround in Cleveland. The forward averaged 15 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks as the Cavaliers fell just shy of returning to the postseason for the first time since LeBron James left in 2018.
Detroit’s Cade Cunningham, the No. 1 pick in the draft, finished third.

Finance Minister invites US varsities to start operation at IFSC
She further said that as IFSC acquires critical mass with the growing concentration of the financial services industry, demand for high quality human capital is expected to increase significantly.
Published: 23rd April 2022 03:49 PM | Last Updated: 23rd April 2022 03:49 PM | A+A A-
WASHINGTON: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday interacted with the representatives of 14 distinguished US universities and invited them to set up foreign universities/institutions at the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
Budget 2022-23 permitted setting-up of world-class foreign universities in Gandhinagar's GIFT City, free from domestic regulations, to facilitate the availability of skilled manpower in the financial services space.
"Recognising the inherent potential of the IFSC, the Budget announcement paved the way for allowing world-class foreign universities to offer courses in Financial Management, FinTech, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in @GIFTCity_IFSC," a tweet from the Finance Ministry said.
"Union Finance Minister Smt. @nsitharaman interacted via VC with several distinguished US universities to explore the opportunity of setting up foreign universities/institutions in @GIFTCity_IFSC, which was an announcement made in Union Budget 2022," another tweet said.
Key advantages for US universities include 100 per cent foreign ownership with no restriction on repatriation of profits, no domestic law will apply, regulatory ease through unified regulator IFSCA, and opportunity to collaborate with Indian students, faculty and financial industry, she said during the virtual meeting.
She further said that as IFSC acquires critical mass with the growing concentration of the financial services industry, demand for high quality human capital is expected to increase significantly.
Foreign universities in IFSC could contribute towards addressing this demand, she said. It is a win-win opportunity for the financial services industry as well as the foreign universities operating out of IFSC, and this can create an ideal global ecosystem for the development of skills needed in the future, she said.
Besides the Finance Minister, the meeting was also attended by Ambassador of India to the US Taranjit S Sandhu; Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran; and virtually by International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) Chairperson Injeti Srinivas.
The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) is a unified authority for the development and regulation of financial products, financial services and financial institutions in the IFSC in India. Currently, GIFT-IFSC is the maiden international financial services centre in India. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2022/apr/23/finance-minister-invites-us-varsities-to-start-operation-at-ifsc-2445585.html | 2022-04-24T11:43:29Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2022/apr/23/finance-minister-invites-us-varsities-to-start-operation-at-ifsc-2445585.html | false | 1 |
Rapper fights million-dollar judgment over missing rented Bentley
The court has ordered Offset to pay over four times the value of a now-lost vehicle he says he didn’t use
Article content
Entertainer Offset is fighting a judgment worth almost US$1 million over a stolen rented Bentley that he claims he wasn’t using, and that he certainly didn’t make off with.

The Migos rapper claims L.A.-based rental company Platinum Transportation Group (PML) was aware that it was Oriel Williams, the mother of one of his children, who actually rented and was using the US$177,000 vehicle for $600/day when it was stolen from her property, with Offset (a.k.a. Kiari Kendrell Cephus) simply paying the bill.
But when it went missing from a parking space outside of Cephus’ former partner’s gated community, PML put him on the hook. Rolling Stone obtained a copy of the written declaration in which the artist claims to have called the rental company “immediately” after learning that the luxury vehicle was missing.
“I was told by a PML representative that PML would report the car stolen to the authorities. I did not steal the car, and I reported the car missing to PML as soon as I was advised by Williams that the car could not be located. In or about July 2020, I was informed by PML that the car was reported stolen to the Los Angeles Police Department, and that they were investigating the theft of the car,” the declaration reads.

“Not hearing otherwise from PML or the Los Angeles Police Department in 2020 or thereafter, I assumed that the Bentley — which was very unique and which I believed was protected with OnStar or some other electronic detection device — had either been recovered, or that any loss had been covered by PML’s insurance.”
Cephus claims that PML failed to adequately serve him notice of the suit, sending it to a family address in Georgia, where he has never resided. It was his current wife’s (fellow rapper Cardi B) lawyer who spotted the suit in the L.A. County Superior Court System and brought it to his attention.
The issue will go in front of the courts again next month. | https://driving.ca/auto-news/crashes/rapper-fights-million-dollar-judgment-over-missing-rented-bentley | 2022-04-24T11:46:00Z | https://driving.ca/auto-news/crashes/rapper-fights-million-dollar-judgment-over-missing-rented-bentley | true | 1 |
Dog owners have been warned to be extra vigilant after a pet was nearly by an adder bite.
Ollie the dog was bitten by a baby adder while being walked by owner Angie Evans who believes the same bite by an adult baby would have killed him. The beloved mutt was treated with anti-venom medication along with pain relief and a drip to keep him hydrated.
Annie is now warning others to be on the lookout for snakes which may recently have come out of hibernation, WalesOnline reports. Angie was walking Ollie in South East Wales when the terrifying incident happened on Friday afternoon.

In a public appeal, she said: “Please be careful walking up the windmills in Tonyrefail from the Bog pub. My dog was bitten by an adder snake right by the main path. Please don’t take a chance leaving your dog off their lead. This was a baby adder bite - if it had been an adult snake it would have been fatal. We normally do that work at least four times a week and it is an area that is very, very popular with dog walkers and children so I want [people] to be aware this has happened and to be careful.”
She also thanked her friend Claire who acted quickly and helped carry Ollie to the car and get him straight to the vets. On the way they contacted the vet to make sure they had anti-venom medication ready to administer and the pet was given pain relief and put on a drip to make sure he stayed hydrated.
Angie said: “The vet said not to let him walk, but he is making very good progress on his recovery. He is still very sore and quite fragile. We have had so many kind messages of concern for Ollie and I am so thankful that people have been helping to raise awareness about how serious this can be.”
There are three types of snake found in the UK but adders are the only venomous species. The PDSA says adder bites tend to happen between February and October but are especially common between June and August and it most common for a dog to be bitten on the face, neck, or lower leg.
Veterinary experts MediVets say that snake bites for dogs should be treated as an “emergency” and add that quick response and treatment are key. If your dog is bitten by an adder they say you should:
- Carry your dog as this will help to prevent the venom from circulating further around their body
- Bathe the wound in cold water
- Keep your dog warm and as calm and still as possible to prevent the venom from spreading
It advises: “If you suspect that your dog has been bitten by an adder you should take them to your vet immediately. An untreated adder bite can result in a dog becoming dehydrated, having tremors as the venom spreads around their body, and can progress to organ damage if the reaction is severe enough.”
It also says that the vet will likely treat the dog for shock and administer pain relief and antihistamine for the swelling. They may also use anti-venom. “Anti-venom is an effective way to treat severe snake bites. It binds itself to the venom so that it becomes inactive.”
Adders are normally small grey/brown snakes with a distinctive V-shaped marking on their head and dark zigzag pattern down their back. They are most common in long grass, woodland, moorland and by the coast in sand dunes and along coastal paths. | https://www.lancs.live/news/uk-world-news/dog-owners-warning-after-pet-23769450 | 2022-04-24T11:49:55Z | https://www.lancs.live/news/uk-world-news/dog-owners-warning-after-pet-23769450 | true | 4 |
Nine in 10 Muslims think companies should do more to help them during Ramadan, study finds
More than nine in 10 (93 per cent) Muslims would like to see more initiatives from companies to raise awareness of Ramadan and its practices.
A study of 500 Muslims revealed while 48 per cent feel their employers do take some measures to support the community during Ramadan, more could be done in the workplace.
More flexibility (56 per cent), earlier finish times (55 per cent) and frequent breaks throughout the day (41 per cent) were among the top things these workers would like to have during the month.
Later start times and working from home also feature among the workplace requests.
In response to these findings, Uber Eats launched its ‘Sundown Spots’ initiative – a series of pop-up restaurants offering free iftar meals after sundown to support the delivery drivers and couriers working throughout Ramadan.
BAFTA nominated TV chef, Zuhair Hassan, known to many as Big Zuu, who is working with Uber Eats, said: “For me, Ramadan is a time to reset and reflect.
Most read in The Sun
“Iftar is my favourite part of Ramadan, it feels like a pinnacle moment – you take a step back, realise where you are now, and where you’re meant to be heading.
“So, I’m pleased to be partnering with Uber Eats on an initiative that is celebrating the significance of this moment.
“It’s so important that Muslims are represented and feel seen and heard in modern Britain, not least during the most sacred month in the Islamic calendar, so it’s great to be able to highlight the fantastic food our culture has to offer.
“When it comes to opening fast, I’ll eat most things - apart from pork, of course.
“Sometimes I’ll cook, but often I’ll treat myself to a meal out or takeaway, and when it’s time to celebrate Eid, for me that’s also centred around food – a nice dinner, surrounded by my closest friends or family.
“It’s important to remember that some people don’t always have family to cook for them, so food delivery services with Halal options like Uber Eats are really key to facilitating iftar for many fasters.”
The study also found that encouragingly, half of Muslim workers (48 per cent) felt their colleagues had a fair understanding of what Ramadan is and entails.
While 64 per cent of those polled via OnePoll said their employer encourages open, honest conversations with their peers about their religion and its practices.
Matthew Price, general manager of Uber Eats UK & Ireland, said: “Our Sundown Spots have been created to help facilitate the opening of fast for the many food delivery drivers and couriers observing Ramadan - and to recognise just how hard they are working to keep the nation fed whilst fasting from sunrise to sunset.
Most read in The Sun
“We’re proud to be able to show our support with this initiative and it’s our ambition to build on it next year - and reach even more people who continue to ‘Bring It’ throughout Ramadan.”
Ramadan is a month for giving, so for every Halal meal ordered on Uber Eats throughout the holy month, the food ordering platform will donate a Halal meal to its food rescue partner, City Harvest, which works with several local Muslim charities and foodbanks, to ensure that as many people as possible are well nourished during Ramadan and beyond. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18357165/companies-help-ramadan-study/ | 2022-04-24T11:58:11Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18357165/companies-help-ramadan-study/ | true | 4 |

Police in Northern Ireland are making enquiries following the daubing of pro-Russian graffiti at a Game of Thrones filming location.
The graffiti – ‘Z glory to Russia’ – written in the large words and referring to the symbol Z painted on Russian tanks during the Ukraine invasion, appeared on the road at the Dark Hedges in Co Antrim.
The tree-lined route became world famous when it was featured in the HBO fantasy series and now attracts significant numbers of tourists.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland confirmed they have received a report that graffiti had been daubed on a tunnel at the Dark Hedges in the Bregagh Road area of Armoy.
A spokesperson said: “Enquiries are ongoing.”
The incident comes as a number of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion of their country started to arrive in Northern Ireland.
DUP North Antrim Assembly Candidate Mervyn Storey said the sentiment of the graffiti is completely at odds with the welcome that arriving Ukrainian refugees have received to the area.
“This is a wanton act of vandalism at one of Northern Ireland’s most iconic locations,” he said.
“It is completely at odds with the warm welcome our local community provides to tourists from all over the world who come to see what the Dark Hedges and the North Coast have to offer.”
Mr Storey said he has recently been able to welcome refugees from Ukraine into his church community.
“It is despicable that they should have to encounter this type of behaviour glorifying Russia’s oppressive campaign of terror in their homeland.
“Our support must be with the people of Ukraine,” he said.
“I will be working closely with local authorities and the PSNI to ensure this graffiti is removed immediately and those responsible held to account.”
The Police Service of Northern Ireland have been contacted for a response

We're looking at our first elimination game of the postseason, and we have three other Game 4s. That means all of these series will swing drastically, which should lead to one of the best days of basketball we've had all year. The oddsmakers agree, making all four matchups with spreads under five points. With that in mind, let's get started with the best point guard of our generation...
Guards
Chris Paul, PHX at NOP ($38)
CP3 has earned the nickname The Point God because he's simply one of the all-time greatest point guards. What makes him so enticing here is that he has to step up in the absence of Devin Booker. He's got a 24 percent usage rate with Book off the floor while averaging 1.3 Yahoo points per minute. That usage rate is lower than expected, but it should creep closer to 30 in such an important game. The fantasy production speaks loudly with Paul scoring 57 fantasy points in the first game without DB. That's far from surprising when you see his 40-point average for the season, and that appears to be his floor in this expanded role.
Jrue Holiday, MIL at CHI ($35)
Holiday is in the same boat as CP3. He'll be asked to do more in the absence of Khris Middleton, and he's plenty capable of carrying that load. Jrue has scored at least 35 Yahoo points in each of the last eight games that Middleton has missed while generating a 43-point average over that span. That's brilliant from a player in this salary range, and we certainly don't mind that Chicago ranked 24th in total defense during the regular season.
Guard to Avoid
Trae Young, ATL vs. MIA ($43)
We had Young in this section last weekend, and he treated us with one of the worst shooting performances of his career. I'm certainly not a Trae hater, but this is simply a terrible matchup. In his seven matchups with Miami this season, he's averaging 34 Yahoo points. Young hasn't cracked 46 fantasy points in any of those, and that's the minimum you need from such a high-value player. It's no surprise when you see Miami is a Top-10 defense in every metric, and they're doing everything possible to make sure Young isn't the one who beats them.
Forwards
Patrick Williams, CHI vs. MIL ($13)
Let's keep the salary-savers going with Williams. This sophomore has been starting for two weeks averaging 25 Yahoo points per game across 31 minutes a night over his last nine. He had a dud in the Game 3 defeat, but we're encouraged that he took nine shots and logged 30 minutes. As long as he does that, Pat-Will should be closer to $20. The simple fact is, we have so many studs we need to pay up that we feel it's the optimal strategy to save at forward and pay up at guard and center.
Max Strus, MIA at ATL ($13)
Strus has usurped Duncan Robinson as the go-to shooter in this rotation, making him a fantastic value despite being guard-eligible for some reason. He's started each of the last nine games while averaging 22 Yahoo points per game across 26 minutes a night. That might not sound like much, but it's all you can hope for from such an affordable player. Getting to play this atrocious Atlanta defense only adds to Strus's value, with the Hawks ranked 26th in defensive efficiency in the regular season.
Forward to Avoid
Aaron Gordon, DEN vs. GSW ($20)
It's been an embarrassing series for Denver, and Gordon is sadly one of the primary reasons having scored 19 or fewer fantasy points in two of the three. That's far from shocking when you realize Golden State is Top-3 in both points allowed and defensive efficiency. AG has proven that all season by averaging only 24 fantasy points in their six meetings.
Centers
Nikola Jokic, DEN vs. GSW ($58)
The Joker is always the best play on every slate. The big man is well on his way to his second straight MVP while leading the NBA with 60 Yahoo points per game. His consistency is what's truly incredible having produced at least 40 fantasy points in all but one outing. Jokic has had some of his best numbers against the Warriors averaging 28.6 points, 14.6 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.9 blocks during their seven matchups this season. Those are video game-like numbers, and you know he'll be at full tilt with Denver playing an elimination game at home.
Brook Lopez, MIL at CHI ($15)
Why is Bro-Lo still so undervalued? He's a $25 player when he's on his game, and he's been playing like that for weeks. Lopez had his minutes restriction lifted two weeks ago and is averaging 30 Yahoo points across 27 minutes a night over his last seven outings. That's unbelievable from a sub-$20 player, especially since Lopez is averaging 33 fantasy points per game in his five matchups with the Bulls this year. His only lull during that most recent stretch was the Game 3 blowout, and that's simply a case of the big man not getting enough run in a meaningless fourth quarter. That shouldn't be the case in what's expected to be a tight Game 4.
Center to Avoid
Bam Adebayo, MIA at ATL ($31)
Big Bam is my favorite player in the league, but he simply doesn't look right in this series. What's really fallen off is his offensive role averaging 8.5 shots and 4.3 assists per game. Those numbers tell us that he's not even a Top-3 option right now, and it's tough to trust a fantasy player when you need him to provide value through defense alone. That's led to Adebayo scoring 21 or fewer fantasy points in two of the last three games. That's a nightmarish floor from such an expansive player, and it'd be wise to pay up for Jokic or Deandre Ayton instead. | https://www.rotowire.com/basketball/article.php?id=63227 | 2022-04-24T12:25:54Z | https://www.rotowire.com/basketball/article.php?id=63227 | false | 1 |

Mikhailo, who has lost everything to the war, except perhaps his sense of humour, draws on a cigarette before only half-joking, “You cannot die twice.”
He has survived the Russian onslaught under the ruins of Rubizhne, on the frontline of the battling raging for control on eastern Ukraine.
Kremina, the next town along the Donbas frontline, fell to Russian forces five days ago.
Rubizhne hangs by a thread with the launch of a major Russian offensive to conquer the region.
After a month of bombardment, the Russians have taken hold of the northern part of the town. Most of the south remained under Ukrainian control on Saturday.
The Ukrainian artillery is for now managing to keep the invaders at bay, halting their progress.
Columns of smoke rise above the chimney stack of the town’s biggest chemical works when the big guns fire. A row of tower blocks deserted by their worker families, disappear behind the smoke.
Rubizhne, which had a population of 60,000 before the war, is reached via a series of checkpoints manned by soldiers. “Kozak” armoured vehicles are given priority as they drive through to reinforce the front.
The town has been smashed. Every building, with no exception, bears witness to the fighting. Not a single window has resisted the deluge of fire from both sides.
The cratered streets are fields of debris.
The apartment blocks are either damaged, burnt or totally gutted. Roofs have been ripped off, facades have collapsed like doll’s houses.
– ‘I want my house’ –
The last people to have stayed on, are as in every other frontline town, the most vulnerable.
Close to the sole roundabout in southern Rubizhne, a dozen locals are living in a cramped cellar to protect themselves from the carpet of bombs.
Mikhailo has walked to the shelter. At the entrance a group of men, some seated others standing, pass round a single cigarette, leaving a wood fire to burn out.
The staircase opens on to a maze of dark rooms. An oil wick lights an alcove.
Next to the flickering flame, a radio spits out the Status Quo hit song “You’re in the army now”, an anthem for all young conscripts the world over.
In the adjacent room, a candle lights the faces of six elderly men stretched out on camp beds.
Lyudmila, 63, has been in the cellar since March 15.
“Those who have stayed are those who have nowhere else to go in Ukraine,” she says.
“My mother will be 90 in August. I can’t carry her myself and take her to a car.
“Let all those who started this war come down to our basement to hold negotiations. Let them listen to the bombardments and sit in candlelight.
“Then they will finally take a decision,” says Lyudmila, trying to calm her mother.
“I want my house,” pipes up the mother, wrapped up in a cover like a mummy.
The old lady refuses to climb the shelter’s stairs, “too scared”, she says.
Sleepless nights in the cellar have brought back World War II nightmares and memories of hunger.
– ‘Everything is unreal’ –
The town’s grand Culture Palace bears witness to a rich history but it has been pounded by artillery and only the facade still stands.
Inside, the ancient cinema auditorium is in shreds. The folding seats have collapsed like dominos.
In the entrance, the huge chandelier is in smithereens on the red carpet.
Stage costumes for children still hang in wardrobes that have been overturned.
There are no windows left in the piano room which is covered in broken plaster.
Retired engineer Yuri Fomine, wanders through the empty corridors of the ruined palace, holding a Polish novel and a pen.
“Every day when I was a kid I used to go either to the cinema or the library to take out a book,” he recalls.
“It was such a happy childhood, there’s so much nostalgia… I was not prepared mentally for this war.
“I have the impression that everything is unreal, that we are living in a parallel dimension, but actually we are living in the reality produced by the sick mind of the president of the Russian Federation,” says the 62-year-old.
As so often in this region torn by separatist fighting, Mikhailo says “it doesn’t matter who wins, the war has to stop very soon”.
And what will he say to the first Russian soldier he meets afterwards? “Hello, do you have a cigarette,” he replies smiling at his own joke. | https://www.digitaljournal.com/world/dark-humour-still-alive-in-frontline-cellar-in-east-ukraine/article | 2022-04-24T12:32:36Z | https://www.digitaljournal.com/world/dark-humour-still-alive-in-frontline-cellar-in-east-ukraine/article | false | 11 |
The game of fantasy baseball is riddled with clichés. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. No one wins the league on draft day. It’s better to be down early than down late.
They get rolled out, year after year, as analysts hope to assuage the fears of overreacting fantasy managers while also teaching them that, even in the game of baseball, history often repeats itself.
Yet no matter how many times we witness the same things happening year after year, there are some who simply refuse to learn. Years of data could be staring them right in the face, waving a variety of red flags and yet, like a fish that continues to fall for the same hook and worm, they continue to ignore the obvious. If you want to know who the fish is in your league, find the team that is rostering Byron Buxton, and if that fish is you, trade him now.
Through seven major league seasons, Buxton has played in as many as 140 games just once. His talent may be off the charts and, as a true gamer, his effort is second to none, but this guy spends more time on the injured list than he does on the field.
Last year it was a broken tooth, a broken hand and a strained hamstring. The year before it was a concussion, a sprained foot and a shoulder injury. The year before that it was the shoulder, a knee and a wrist injury. On and on it goes. He may be one of the most dynamic players with all the potential in the world, but if he doesn’t play, he doesn’t help your fantasy team.
Just as he does every year, Buxton came out swinging a big bat this season. His batting average might have been pedestrian, but through the first two weeks of the season, he had two doubles, three home runs, four RBIs and a stolen base. His 1.067 slugging percentage ranked second in the majors. People were, once again, gushing over his upside and potential, but then what happened? The same thing that happens every year. Buxton got hurt.
The injury kept the Twins superstar out for only a week, and as you read this, he’s probably going 2-for-3 with a home run. But no matter how tempted you may be, he should be avoided, and if you already roster him, you should trade him now. His value is only going to diminish as every at-bat brings him closer and closer to his next trip to the injured list.

DEAR AMY: I am a husband and father of an 18-month-old daughter.
I’m concerned about how my mother-in-law treats my wife and daughter.
She calls my wife multiple times a day to FaceTime with her granddaughter.
My wife answers as often as she can.
The problem I have is that my mother-in-law keeps saying things to our toddler like: “Don’t worry -- whenever grandma is talking to you, you don’t have to listen to your mom.”
Or when my wife tells my daughter to stop doing something, her mother will say, “Grandma says it’s okay.”
The last time I heard this I wanted to grab the phone and say: “Mom makes the rules, if you can’t follow them, you can’t see our daughter” and hang up on her.
My wife says that it isn’t my place (I agree) but she hasn’t set boundaries, yet.
My MIL is coming to visit in about a week and I’ve been stressing about it constantly.
She is sleeping on our couch for three days, and I don’t think I want to hold my tongue if she tries to say the same things when she is in our home.
I’m all for grandparents spoiling grandkids, but when my daughter is throwing food on our floor and grandma says, “It’s OK -- make your parents clean it up” I want to ground grandma.
Your suggestions?
- Nervous
DEAR NERVOUS: Keep your cool. The calmer and more consistent you are, the more effective your response will be.
If your mother-in-law directly countermands you, and if you are certain she isn’t just being playful, you can say, “Oops. I’m going to have to stop you. We are her parents and we need to make the rules for her, even if you don’t agree with them. Can you help us out here and not contradict us?”
She may say, “Oh, I’m only joking, don’t take this so seriously.” And you can respond, “I get it, but we’re trying to be consistent, and her sense of humor isn’t quite developed yet.”
***
DEAR AMY: My sister has been with her fiance for four years.
They live together and plan to marry in July. This will be the second marriage for both. They’re in their 50s, and both have grown children.
They live in a wonderful city and enjoy a nice lifestyle, playing tennis, traveling, etc. He is a doctor and she, a corporate recruiter.
My sister couldn’t be happier, as her previous marriage was full of grief and frustration.
All was going well until her fiance’s daughter (in her 20s) dropped out of college and moved in.
Apparently, her dad covers this daughter’s expenses and does not require much (if anything) in return. He lets her basically do as she pleases, and that means sleeping until noon, not working, and asking my sister, “What’s for dinner?”
You can probably see where this story is going. My sister’s blissful pre-honeymoon phase is being interrupted by this third person’s constant presence. It frustrates my sister (to no end) that her fiance has not set down any ground rules. My sister works from home and feels she has lost her peaceful “space” due to his daughter’s lax lifestyle.
Further, she fears that the daughter may end up living with them for many years to come; something she didn’t bargain for when she moved into his house and accepted his marriage proposal.
Your take?
- Concerned
DEAR CONCERNED: It’s “his house,” “his proposal,” and “his daughter,” but it’s HER life.
This is not the way to enter a family system where two smart, successful, and advanced-age adults should be holding hands and in basic agreement about their marital partnership.
This also sets your sister up for failure, as the hard-working future stepmother of a young adult.
Every couple should receive pre-marital counseling - but especially couples blending families, finances, and property.
I would suggest that your sister put the wedding on hold until she and her fiance get on the same page regarding all of their children.
Life will deliver many unforeseeable events that will require them to pivot, but this situation is easily remedied.
***
DEAR AMY: Not a question, but a comment: Why are some of the issues raised in your column so trivial? It seems like people really work hard to get worked up about things.
- Tired
DEAR TIRED: I find that generally, if someone isn’t interested in a particular cultural issue, they will find that topic trivial.
My take is that our world is wide enough to accommodate issues of all sizes.

New Delhi [India], April 24 (ANI): The achievement of reaching the highest-ever mark of USD 50 billion worth of agriculture exports was attained through multiple steps taken by the Department of Commerce to turn India into the food basket for the world, said Commerce Ministry officials on Sunday.
Speaking to ANI, the Commerce Ministry officials said that the previous highest mark was in 2013-14 at USD 43 billion after which the exports saw a free fall of sorts and suffered a USD 10 billion decrease in the figure by 2016-17 after which Department of Commerce identified four main reasons for the decrease in Agri-exports.

"First, there was a disconnect between production and export of agricultural produce. Second, the State Government and farmers were not well acquainted with the concept of export-oriented production," the officials said.
The Piyush Goyal-led Ministry also found out that the States were taking exports as the domain of the central government only and also the lack of agriculture export infrastructure and expertise with the state governments.

The Department of Commerce charted out a plan to address these issues and "for the first time reached out to not just the States but also at the district and village level farmers.
"Our officials spread awareness and informed farmers that if there would be a surplus agriculture produce, Government of India will export it as the government wanted to help agriculture and its allied sectors as they provide the largest source of livelihoods in India," the officials said.
Officials said the exports in the Agri sector have gone up despite the COVID-19 global pandemic where the demand for food had gone up globally but the issues of lockdowns closed offices and roads were creating huge issues.
"But Department of Commerce through Indian Missions abroad and interacted through Virtual Buyer-Seller meets, removed many bottlenecks, coordinated with port or customs or State or district authorities, etc., to meet the increased global demand," the officials said.
The officials said the Department of Commerce also supported States in identifying respective infrastructure bottlenecks, logistics constraints, requirements of post-harvest infrastructure etc. to address the same.
Further, steps were taken to identify new markets, increase footprint in existing markets, analyze requirements and tariff structure of the new markets, etc. They said that even though the country has reached USD 50 billion mark in Agri exports, the country has not yet reached its full potential in the export of agriculture products.
Due to the efforts of the government, in 2021-22, India exported around USD 10 billion in rice, with a 50 per cent share in the world's rice exports; the highest ever export of marine products (USD 8 billion), sugar (USD 4.5 billion), wheat (USD 2 billion) and coffee (USD 1 billion); USD 4 billion meat, dairy and poultry products exports, USD 4 billion spices exports and USD 3 billion cotton exports.

Bhubaneswar, Apr 24 (PTI) Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has asked leaders of the ruling BJD not to be complacent over its spectacular performance in the recently concluded rural and urban elections and sought reports on why his party had lost around 10 per cent of seats in the polls, state ministers said on Sunday.
The BJD won 90 per cent of seats in panchayats and 89 per cent in urban polls.

Patnaik held one-to-one meetings with the BJD's district observers and discussed the party's performance in the elections to panchayats and urban local bodies in February and March.
"We had a one-to-one discussion with the chief minister. He wanted to know how to strengthen the party at the grassroots. The BJD president has asked to submit a detailed report on the party's position in districts within 10 days," state minister and BJD's Nayagarh observer Padmanabh Behera said.
Party's Balasore observer P K Deb and Kendrapara's Debashis Samantray also echoed Behera.
Patnaik wanted to know the "strength and weakness of the party in all the districts to prepare strategies for the 2024 Lok Sabha and assembly elections", the minister said.
Patnaik may "reorganise BJD based on the observers' reports and go for a reshuffling of his cabinet," a party source said.
The BJD had secured 114 of 147 assembly constituencies in the 2019 state polls but its Lok Sabha seat count fell to 12.
The assembly polls and the LS elections were held simultaneously in 2019.
The opposition BJP, which had just won one Lok Sabha seat from Odisha in the 2014 elections, got eight on the last occasion.
The ruling BJD won 20 of 21 Lok Sabha seats from Odisha, eight years ago.
"Patnaik told party leaders to ensure that the BJD wins all the 21 LS seats to make Odisha's voice strong in the Delhi 'Durbar'," the source said.
The CM had on Saturday met party observers of Koraput, Malkangiri, Kendrapada, Balasore, Nayagarh, Angul, Nabarangpur, Dhenkanal, Sundargarh, Bargarh, Kandhamal, Sonepur, Gajapati, Rayagada and Jagatsinghpur at Naveen Niwas.
He will meet other party observers in phases till Monday as the party has 33 organisational districts.
Patnaik, as the BJD president, usually holds meetings with the party's district observers after each election and asks them to prepare for the next poll, Samantray claimed.
He had earlier asked the ministers to submit their performance reports of their respective departments.

The Congress on Sunday termed as "political vendetta" the allegation by Yes Bank co-founder Rana Kapoor who has told the Enforcement Directorate that he was "forced" to buy an M F Husain painting from party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and questioned his and the ED's credibility.
Kapoor has told the ED that he was "forced" to buy the M F Husain painting from Priyanka Gandhi and the sale proceeds were utilised by the Gandhi family for the medical treatment of Congress president Sonia Gandhi in New York, according to the charge sheet filed by the federal anti-money laundering agency in a special court in Mumbai.
He told the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that he was told by the then petroleum minister Murli Deora that the refusal to buy the painting will not only prevent him from building a relationship with the Gandhi family but also prevent him from getting the 'Padma Bhushan' award.
Kapoor also told the agency that Ahmed Patel, a close confidante of Sonia Gandhi, had told him that by supporting the Gandhi family at an opportune time for medical treatment of Sonia Gandhi, "I (Kapoor) had performed a good deed for the family and it would be duly considered for the 'Padma Bhushan' award".
Asked about the allegations at a press conference, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said, "This is absolutely astonishing. I don't want to use a strong word, it is absolutely disgusting that a 2010 transaction, a person who is behind bars for years, whose 20-30 bail applications have been rejected, who is called a crook and a fraudster, makes allegations about dead people and the government is jumping with joy only because it suits their political angle."
The government wants to keep the pot boiling for 2022, for a transaction in 2010, when neither Murli Deora is here to deny it nor Ahmed Patel is here to deny, Singhvi said.
"What is the objective of this, is it the result of your (government) pressure tactics and coercion on a person behind bars eager to get his freedom to record statements against political opponents and to keep a 12-year-old thing boiling just for convenience of politics," the Rajya Sabha MP said, hitting out at the government.
However, BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya alleged that it is quite clear from Rana Kapoor's confession to the ED that the Gandhis and the Congress are not just "extortionist but were also selling the country's highest civilian honour to the highest bidder or durbaris, who did their bidding".
In his response to the allegations, Singhvi cited that in March 2014, the Yes Bank loan book stood at Rs 55,000 crore and in March 2019, it had increased nearly five times to Rs 2.41 lakh crore.
"The loan book of Yes Bank also showed a very dramatic increase between two other dates which are very inconvenient for the Modi government about which neither the government nor the prime minister talk about anymore. In March 2016, it was Rs 98,000 crore and in March 2018, it became 2.03 lakh crore, about more than double. Remember when demonetisation happened, November 2016," he said.
Singhvi also pointed out that the BJP-led Haryana government invested Rs 2,500 crore as government money into accounts of a "sinking" Yes Bank.
"They are trying to create a fear psychosis to scare people to do political vendetta, they should know better than that. At least spare the dead. At least don't defame people like Deora and Ahmed Patel," he said.
"We all know the credibility of the ED and more than that the credibility of the person accused in this case who is supposed to have made this statement," he added.
The statements of Rana Kapoor are part of the second supplementary charge sheet (overall third) filed in the special court recently against the Yes Bank co-founder, his family, Dewan Housing Finance Limited (DHFL) promoters Kapil and Dheeraj Wadhawan, and others in a money laundering case.
Stating that he had paid a cheque of Rs 2 crore, Kapoor claimed that "Milind Deora (son of the late Murli Deora and former Congress MP) later conveyed to him confidentially that the sale proceeds were utilised by the Gandhi family for the medical treatment of Sonia Gandhi in New York".
Kapoor is currently in judicial custody following his arrest in the case in March 2020. The Wadhwans too are in jail custody after their arrest in another case.

WATCH: Deputy climbs balcony to save baby from apartment fire
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A sheriff’s deputy in Florida climbed up a balcony and plucked a 1-year-old girl to safety from a third-story apartment that had caught fire, the dramatic rescue captured on the deputy’s body-worn camera.
Deputy William Puzynski climbed to the second-floor balcony early Saturday and asked the mother to hand off the baby in diapers as flames shot from the apartment one floor above. He then brought the baby down before the mother and grandmother were subsequently rescued by firefighters.
The video posted online captures Puzynski telling the woman “hand me the baby, hand me the baby. We are coming,” as he goes up and balances himself on the railing before she extends the crying baby to him. “Please, come get me,” she pleads afterward.
Firefighters using a ladder brought the mother and grandmother down from the third-floor apartment safely. They also evacuated other residents while responding to the fire at an apartment building in Orlando.
The Orange County Fire Rescue said the fire caused extensive damage with 24 units impacted.
The camera that recorded the infant’s rescue was attached to Puzynski’s vest, which he had taken off before climbing up the building.

The public health order known as Title 42 — based on a decades-old and once obscure law — has captured attention recently as it's set to expire next month.
That's a welcome move to some. Many immigration advocates and Democrats have been pressuring President Biden to lift it because it blocks migrants at the border from seeking asylum.
But some in Congress, including a few close Biden allies, are saying it's too soon. With the midterm elections this year, some Democrats who face tight races are expressing concern that the White House doesn't have enough of a plan to tackle the likely influx of migrants at the border once Title 42 lifts.
The order will be front and center when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testifies before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday. Mayorkas is expected to field questions about lifting it, and he's likely to get pushback from both Republicans and Democrats.
As it sees renewed interest, here are some Title 42 basics and a look at how the federal health order became the center of the current immigration debate.
What is Title 42?
Title 42 comes from a federal law that dates back to 1944 meant to help prevent the spread of communicable disease. It's what essentially gave authority to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to take emergency action in March 2020, allowing immigration authorities to quickly expel migrants and denying entry to asylum seekers.
The 1944 Public Health Service Act established an administrative structure for the country to deal with national and international health problems that could arise, both in war-time and in peace. Back then, tuberculosis was a major public health threat to the nation, and the Public Health Service Act helped provide grants for research and treatment of the disease. It also did things like establish the National Cancer Institute under the National Institutes of Health.
Overall, it's pretty obscure — and definitely not a measure imagined to operate as central to the debate over immigration and asylum law.
But in 2020, President Trump's administration invoked the order to restrict migrants' entry into the U.S., including for those seeking asylum at the southern border. That move was controversial, with many congressional Democrats decrying it as a harmful measure that dismantled the country's asylum system.
How has Title 42 impacted migrants at the border?
Since it was invoked under Trump, Customs and Border Protection has counted more than 1.7 million expulsions of migrants at the border. Theresa Cardinal Brown from the Bipartisan Policy Center calls Title 42 the "primary tool" of managing migration at the border under both the Trump and Biden administrations.
About half of those "that were encountered at the border in the last year were expelled under Title 42," she told NPR in March.
Title 42 has also made it hard to get an accurate number of migrants who are attempting to cross into the U.S. That's because many migrants have been trying to cross multiple times in the same month, then get counted more than once, according to Mayorkas.
When is Title 42 set to be lifted?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced earlier this month that Title 42 would expire on May 23.
But if Congress wanted to change course on Title 42 and delay it legislatively, they could.
In fact, some Republican members of Congress attempted just that. A COVID-19 aid package was held up in early April when Republicans attempted to extend the order. Congress left for Easter recess before sorting it out, and the aid package did not pass. Lawmakers return this week and many are expected to resume their focus on trying to keep it in place.
Plus, there's a bipartisan bill that was introduced earlier this month that would push back the expiration of Title 42.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki has said that any delay on lifting Title 42 would require congressional action.
What happens at the border once it is lifted?
In a word: influx.
Government officials are bracing for a surge of migrants at the border once the order lifts. It "will likely cause a significant increase in arrivals" at the southwest border, according to a strategic plan released last month by the Department of Homeland Security.
And some agency estimates say they'll see 18,000 border apprehensions per day, which is more than twice the average number of daily apprehensions last summer.
"Whenever Title 42 is lifted, there is likely, almost certainly, to be a surge," Doris Meissner, who leads the U.S. immigration policy program at the Migration Policy Institute, tells NPR. "It will, no matter what, be perceived by intending migrants, and most importantly by smugglers, as the time to come."
To prepare, the Department of Homeland Security released an extensive plan that puts more law enforcement officials on the southern border, increases their capacity to process new arrivals and implements more COVID-19 vaccination efforts.
This is a Trump-era policy. What's been Biden's take?
Immigration advocates have been critical of Biden for months and have long been pressuring him to lift Title 42. But, despite promising fairer immigration practices, the administration has actually held up the Trump-era policy and defended the use of Title 42 in court.
Last month, the administration agreed to let unaccompanied migrant children cross the border but continues to block all other migrants, even families.
While Democrats in Congress have been outspoken about ending Title 42 for months, the Biden administration repeatedly insisted — and continues to insist — that Title 42 is a public health order, and not immigration policy.
In March, when Ukrainians started to try crossing the U.S.-Mexico border after fleeing the war, pressure on Biden mounted even more.
Democrats were generally opposed to Title 42 in 2020. Why are some now saying it shouldn't be lifted?
Many more Democrats and Democratic congressional candidates have been expressing some apprehension about lifting Title 42 next month.
Senators like Gary Peters of Michigan and Mark Kelly of Arizona say they want more of a plan from the White House on how to handle the surge of migrants at the border. Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware said recently he hoped lifting Title 42 would be "reconsidered appropriately" if there was a further rise in COVID-19 cases.
Kelly and others have signed onto a bill with Republicans to delay lifting Title 42 by at least 60 more days. With midterm elections coming up, there's concern that Republicans will once again make immigration and the border a hot-button issue, and it worries vulnerable Democrats.

Kerala Blasters coach Ivan Vukomanovic, who recently signed a contract extension that will keep him at the club till 2025, says he is committed to continue in the same direction with more dedication. In fact, the 44-year-old Serb fully deserved his contract extension as he turned around the fortunes of the club in the recently concluded ISL Season 8 by guiding them to fourth in the ISL league stage and eventual runner-up spot.
Vukomanovic, who has managed top division clubs in Belgium, Slovakia, and Cyprus, talks about the importance of continuity and sustained improvement in an email interview with Malayala Manorama.
This is the first time Kerala Blasters have retained their head coach. How do you feel?
I'm extremely happy. Blasters now have a strong base to continue our good work with consistency and achieve more. We have some crucial areas to strengthen ahead of the upcoming 2022-23 ISL season.
How did you motivate your players after the loss in the final?
I told them to be proud of the hard work they put in. Winning and losing are part and parcel of the game. We had a brilliant campaign and making it to the final itself was a big achievement. You have played some good football that would make every member of the Yellow Army happy and proud. You should hold your head up and thank them for all the support. I have also gone through such heartbreaks during my playing days. So, I could fully understand their feelings.
What is your message to the fans?
The energy around the club and the army of fans supporting Kerala Blasters give me goosebumps. Fans are the driving force behind any club. Definitely, their passion and love for the club would help in attracting top players to Kerala Blasters. The spirit of fans will rub off on players and they will be ready to sacrifice anything for the club.
What are your expectations for the new season?
The job of a coach is beyond the limits of predictability. We cannot predict the future. Making tall claims and promises is not the right thing to do. However, I can assure you that we will work on improving the team. Kerala Blasters will be a tough team to beat and players from the state will command respect from the world of football. | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/football/2022/04/24/kerala-blasters-will-be-a-tough-team-to-beat-vukomanovic.amp.html | 2022-04-24T13:20:02Z | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/football/2022/04/24/kerala-blasters-will-be-a-tough-team-to-beat-vukomanovic.amp.html | true | 2 |

It’s only April, and already there are plenty of great games released this year that are in the conversation for game of the year. “Elden Ring,” undeniably, is one of those games. On the other side of the spectrum, so is “Wordle,” the success of which has spawned dozens of spin offs. It bears repeating: It’s only April.
We’ll keep this list updated as the year goes on. We’ve heard promising word-of-mouth buzz for games like “NORCO” and “Tunic,” but simply haven’t yet had a chance to play those titles. Further still, some of the games listed here now might lose their spots, as other, more compelling candidates rise to claim the GOTY mantle.
Across Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC, here are the games you should be playing now.
1. Elden Ring
“If you’re a fan of the Souls games, you’ve likely already made the decision to play ‘Elden Ring,’ the new From Software game co-written by Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki and Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin,” wrote Gene Park in The Washington Post’s review of the game. “For everyone else, this is still a hard game to skip.”
The game features a story that’s enticingly cryptic, demanding players piece it together. It’s a comedy game where the difficulty turns players into the punchline - and that’s a good thing. It’s also one of the easiest Souls-like games to get into, a feat for a genre known for its punishing difficulty. We’re not even halfway into the year, but “Elden Ring” is practically a shoo-in for any final game of the year list.

2. Wordle
“Wordle,” a free online word game, technically released in 2021, but it truly exploded in popularity in 2022 and was purchased in January by the New York Times for an undisclosed seven-figure sum. Now, it boasts “millions” of daily players, according to the Times. Players get six tries to figure out a five-letter word - one that’s supposed to be part of a common vocabulary - and that’s basically it. There’s only one puzzle to solve every day.
It’s easy to understand how the game has travelled so far. The game is accessible from any web browser, and people have enjoyed sharing their results on social media, demonstrating their word-savviness. The game has also inspired numerous spin offs, extending the game’s legacy far beyond its five-by-six grid.

3. Pokemon Legends: Arceus
For decades, the Pokemon Company has been trying to replicate the full glory of bug catching, a huge inspiration for its titular series, and for decades it has been stunted by RPG tropes, hardware limitations and a repetitive, uninspired design philosophy. Enter “Arceus,” a game that proves that even a series as bread-and-butter as Pokemon can wildly evolve its formula. Gone are the tropes of the previous mainline games, replaced with an open world set in the ancient past, heavily based on feudal Japan. The typical “battle to weaken, then catch” format has been replaced with a mechanic encouraging players to sneak in and toss balls third-person-shooter style. Best of all, Pokemon of all rarities spawn right in front of you.
“Arceus” is a desperately needed Pokemon formula shake-up. It’s a game that, like “Breath of the Wild,” inspires you to search its world for more secrets and more mysteries.
Available on: Nintendo Switch
4. Horizon Forbidden West
It’s easy to get lost in the gorgeous open world of “Horizon Forbidden West,” the highly anticipated sequel to Guerrilla Games’ 2017 post-apocalyptic RPG “Horizon Zero Dawn.” Exploration is revamped with protagonist Aloy’s new arsenal of gadgets, letting her glide across valleys and swim through sunken cities. The weapons, the map, the enemies - everything feels scaled up. The writing and characters are captivating, particularly Aloy’s new crew, a mix of new faces and allies from the first game. Though the plot goes a bit off the rails, leaning more into science fiction this time around, Guerrilla Games’ masterful world-building comes together in an endearing tale of hope and human tenacity - no easy feat in a series with such a bleak premise.
Available on: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4
5. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
“‘Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands’ is the closest any game developer has come to re-creating Dungeons & Dragons,” wrote Michael Czar in The Washington Post’s review of the game.
“There are plenty of games that share similar combat mechanics to D&D,” Czar wrote. “But what ‘Wonderlands’ focuses on - and nails - is the feeling of actually sitting around a table playing D&D: moments of chaos when a dungeon master has mere seconds to improvise a way forward for their players; times when teams throw a good plan out the window, but it all works out in the end; the fiery arguments that might overtake a group of friends just trying to have fun; the feeling of knowing what jokes will land with your dungeon master and which ones won’t. That’s what makes ‘Wonderlands’ a true D&D game.”

6. Lost Ark
“Lost Ark,” a South Korean Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) published in North America, Europe and other regions by Amazon Games, has consistently stayed atop active player count rankings on the PC games store Steam. It’s logged over 20 million registered accounts. From the start of the game, it grabs players by throwing them into combat with flashy, eye-catching skills and stunning graphics. Players have remarked that they felt like they were getting a great amount of value for a free-to-play title. The punishing endgame where teams must band together to take down challenging bosses isn’t for everyone, but the community that has stuck around seems pretty loyal.

7. Rainbow Six Extraction
In a year headlined by “Elden Ring,” it’s hard to recommend “Rainbow Six Extraction” as a game of the year contender with a straight face. And yet, here we are.
“Extraction,” a co-op player versus everything first-person shooter, is a rare breed of game that gets in, does what it sets out to do, and gets out. There is a limited number of missions, and each challenges you to cooperate with your teammates and use your full tool kit smartly to overcome cleverly designed shooting puzzles arrayed semi-randomly around the levels. Better still, these missions get genuinely challenging as you level up, and your mistakes have dire consequences for your capacity to progress. In that way (and I’m surprised that I’m even writing this) “Extraction” sort of resembles “Elden Ring,” if you squint a bit.

Ira Wallace ambles around the butcher block countertop in the kitchen she shares with a community of farmers in central Virginia. She has separated a single leaf from the large baskets of unusual, parti-colored collard greens she got from a friend's farm. Its creamy-white veins stretch upward across the green leaf, narrowing as they reach purple-tinged tips.
"Purple is a color that develops in the winter much more strongly," Wallace explains, as she probes the frost-damaged leaf. "But look at that color! And that's anthocyanins. They're supposed to make you healthier."
These aren't commercially produced collard greens typically sold in supermarkets or restaurants. Many of the heirloom varieties Wallace and her friends grow are rare, some once teetering on extinction. Other types can likely be found in backroad gardens of aging stewards, but countless varieties have vanished in the U.S.
There was once a kaleidoscope of diversity in collards, as people diligently collected and replanted seeds, passing them from one generation to the next to preserve the qualities they found most important. Collards — an inexpensive, nutrient-rich vegetable — became a staple for many Southern families, especially African Americans trying to feed their families healthy food year-round.
"Where I grew up, if you didn't eat greens at least five days a week, you were funny — ya know?" Wallace joked. "Like, what is wrong with you?"
Wallace pulled a lot of those greens from her grandmother's Florida garden, but fewer and fewer Americans cultivate home vegetable gardens these days. There are fewer small farms, too. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the number of farms in the U.S. has shrunk from about 6 million to 2 million over the past 75 years, while the average size of farms has doubled. As farms and gardens vanished, so too did the heirloom collards.
Now the race is on to preserve what remains.
These collards have names: Meet "Big Daddy Greasy Green" and "Granny Hobbs"
Wallace, 73, is doing a lot of the work as part of a group of seed savers, farmers, activists and academics, known collectively as the Heirloom Collard Project. They want to preserve and reintroduce people to rarer collard varieties and connect with older seed stewards before their stories are lost to time.
"If you want to save a seed, it's good for it to be a good and tasty and productive seed," Wallace says. "But a seed with the story endures."
Collards like "Fuzzy's Cabbage Collard," "Big Daddy Greasy Green Collard," "Granny Hobbs" and "Tabitha Dykes" have been preserved by the Heirloom Collard Project, and each tells an evocative story of stewards who faithfully saved and shaped their collard variety over a lifetime.

Aside from quirky names, many have unusual colors or textures. They tend to be sweeter or spicier, more tender or more disease- and cold-resistant than regular greens.
"When you grow your own food, when you save your own seeds, that's an ancient tradition that's been passed down," says Amirah Mitchell, who grew up eating collards in Boston but had never tasted the "Green Glaze" variety until she met Wallace.
"Oh my goodness," says Mitchell, who recently launched Sistah Seeds, a Pennsylvania farm that specializes in producing seed, rather than produce. "It was so good. I absolutely adored them because they were a little bit more tender than the other varieties. They looked prettier even when they had a little bit of bug damage on them."
Historians trace the roots of collards to the gardens of enslaved African Americans in the South. Collards were "superfood powerhouses for the enslaved and poor whites," said Michael W. Twitty, a culinary historian and James Beard Award winner, during the Project's 2020 Collard Week festival. The leafy vegetable, he said, provided much-needed nutrients in a diet that typically included hominy, corn, salt fish and pork.
Collards continue to be a staple in Soul Food restaurants and many Black households — enjoyed throughout the year and especially as part of holiday meals. "They remind me of Thanksgiving at my grandma's house," says Mitchell. "That is a time when we would never go without them."
Researchers logged 12,000 miles to find America's "Collard Belt"
Mitchell, 29, and her generation will be crucial to ensuring that the mission continues as it's passed on by an aging generation of gardeners and seed savers.
"That's a piece of this struggle," says Edward Davis, a professor at Emory & Henry College in southwest Virginia. "It would be great if a whole lot of these seed savers were still doing it, but they're mostly dead [now]."
Davis studies cultural geography, and in 2000 he embarked on a project to define what made the American South unique and cohesive. He figured collards would be a good place to start. He quickly learned that the origins of the modern plant are difficult to trace, and collards are not as ubiquitous as he first thought.
"People will look at the South and say, 'One thing that tells you you're in the South is collards,'" says Davis. "But that's not true. There's lots of places in the South that don't [grow] collards."
Davis and his colleague John T. Morgan scoured yellowed garden logs from the 18th and 19th centuries, searching for clues to the collards' origins. They wanted to define the American "Collard Belt" and found a kindred soul in the USDA's Mark Farnham. He was a research geneticist at the time, in charge of the agency's collection of Brassica oleracea seed — a wildly diverse species of vegetable that includes kale, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and, yes, collards.
Farnham had already noticed a decline in the availability of heirloom collard seeds and began collecting some from savers around his home in Charleston, S.C., as early as 1992. With Farnham's help, Davis and Morgan got a USDA grant to search the backroads of the South, looking for collard growers — particularly gardeners who saved and shared heirloom seeds. Heirloom vegetables are plants with a lineage that goes back at least several decades and can reproduce without human hybridizing or intervention. Together with Farnham and a Clemson University researcher named Powell Smith, Davis and Morgan hit the road.
"I got to where I could pretty much tell it was an heirloom collard patch from the road," Davis said. "Then you'd go to the door ... and you'd say, 'Excuse me, I think you've got some pretty good collards. Are you a seed saver?'" Davis said he was always greeted with a wide grin, "and man, would they open up — Black or white person."
The researchers often traveled in January and February, when winter-hardy collard plants were the only green in gardens, making them visible from the road. But the limited daylight hours posed problems. "You're driving as fast as you can on these country roads to find a collard garden before dark," Davis says.
They collected samples from 78 seed savers during the trips, which covered more than 12,000 miles across 10 Southern states. What they found was a tight grouping of collard seed savers in the eastern half of North Carolina and the low country of South Carolina. Outside these areas, they were surprised to find hardly anyone saving collard seeds, though there are commercial farmers and home gardeners growing the few conventional varieties that exist.

The samples are stored at the USDA's National Laboratory for Genetic Resources Preservation, where they can be kept indefinitely and regrown periodically to maintain the genetics. Their work is chronicled in a book published in 2015.
The team's itineraries were thorough, but they didn't get to every collard seed saver out there. On a later, solo trip — after the USDA grant had expired — Davis found a man whose collards are the stuff of local legend, grown from a seed whose pedigree goes back well over 100 years.
A dying man passes on his family heirloom
Deep in the deepest southeastern county of North Carolina, among the swamps and tobacco fields, Levi Grissett has just planted collards for the 48th season. For all but a few of his 73 years, he has lived in Brunswick County, on his grandfather's land.
Grissett did a tour in Vietnam after high school before he found a good manufacturing job back home in nearby Wilmington and married a beautiful girl named Frances. After Grissett's grandfather and father passed away, the couple bought a parcel of the family farm in 1973, and he's been there ever since. Grissett never farmed professionally like his grandfather and namesake uncle, but he's always been a gardener.
"I know this sounds crazy," he says with a deep chuckle, "but sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night. I say, 'Oh Lord — please hurry up and let it get daylight so I can get in my garden.' "
Funny thing is, Grissett never acquired a taste for the vegetable that has made him something of a local legend. "The first year I got married, I was living in a mobile home and had a garden behind the house, and my wife was standing there in the kitchen," he says. "She come out, and she said, 'Old boy, why don't you plant some collards? I love collards.' And from that year on, I never missed a year from planting collards until my wife passed."
Grissett acquired his first seeds from an older woman who lived nearby, and they were an immediate success. "They looked like a work of art," he says. People admired those early crops, especially the older folks who appreciated the flavor and texture of heirloom varieties.
Grissett wasn't saving his own seeds yet and couldn't find any more heirloom collard seeds to plant after his neighbor died. "Most the old folks died out. And when they died out, the old timey collards went with 'em," Grissett said.
He continued to plant conventional collards until finally, in 2008, he acquired some "old timey" seeds again — this time from his friend A.D. Munn. These seeds were good, but they also had a story.
As Grissett tells it, many years ago, Munn's stepfather, Quincy Harvey, was friends with a man who grew gorgeous, tall collards. Harvey always coveted these collards, but his friend never shared the seeds. They were a family treasure, passed down for over a hundred years. When that man was on his deathbed, he called Harvey to the house and finally shared the precious seeds. Harvey grew the seeds, and then Munn, before Grissett got his hands on some.
The first year, Grissett said, the plants grew so tall that even Munn was shocked. "We went out there and measured that collard, it was 54 inches tall. And it kept right on growing till it grew ... 8 feet tall," Grissett says proudly.
Grissett's wife — who encouraged him to plant collards in the first place — died the following year, in the spring of 2009. "After my wife passed, for three years it took me so far down the tube I didn't even plant anything," he says.
It wasn't until 2013, what would have been Grissett's 40th wedding anniversary, that he decided to garden again and planted Munn's seeds. By August of that year, you could spot the collards from the road. That's exactly what happened when Davis, the professor, was on one of his coastal Carolina seed-searching expeditions. As he'd done so many times, Davis got out of his car and knocked on a stranger's door.
"I think you have some very special collards back there," Davis told Grissett.
Grissett vividly remembers that day as the sweet fulfillment of something akin to a prophecy. "I would tell my wife all down through the years: I hope that one day a researcher would come by and look at my collards," Grissett says. "I told her that the first year. ... After 40 long years, he came — 40 years since I told my wife that."
Lessons from the civil rights movement inspire a seed saver
Stella Brown raised Wallace after the child's mother died. Wallace often tagged along as her Grandma Stella worked to register Black voters around Tampa, Fla. When they got discouraged, the older woman would urge perseverance: "We do this because we need change. ... And if we don't try, that [change] won't happen."
Wallace said those words still resonate when she thinks about the modern seed saving movement. "So, if that was true about voting and civil rights, I think it's true about changing what foods are available to all the communities that are underserved and sold not-good-for-you food."
Wallace said she sometimes gets a lukewarm reception about seed saving from some African American communities. But when she introduced the Heirloom Collard Project, the enthusiasm was noticeably different.
"People who aren't your usual suspects are like, 'Let's try it. I care about collards. It brings me back memories of home and family and community, and I want to carry that on.'"
Over the years, Wallace's pioneering work has become widely known. The seed saving movement is defined by its collaborative rather than competitive nature, an ethos to which she's contributed greatly. Philip Kauth, the former director of seed preservation at Seed Savers Exchange, calls Wallace "a legend in the seed saving world."
She is a regular at festivals and conferences. In 2007, she spearheaded the founding of the Heritage Harvest Festival at Monticello, a festival showcasing heritage vegetables from the Colonial period. It was there, in 2016, that Wallace met with Davis, Farnham and representatives from several seed saving organizations to create the Heirloom Collard Project.
Together, Seed Savers Exchange and Southern Exposure Seed Exchange requested more than 60 heirloom collard varieties from the USDA's collection of Davis and Morgan's seeds and began adding the seeds to their yearly offerings. In 2020, Wallace and the Heirloom Collard Project held a virtual Collard Week festival. That's when she asked Mitchell, the up-and-coming seed steward, to do a workshop on saving collard seed.
"I was in the middle of finals for my last semester at school," recalls Mitchell, a Temple University graduate. "But I couldn't say no to her — you know, no one says no to Ira Wallace," Mitchell says with a laugh.
Last year she joined Davis, Wallace and others at a meeting about the Heirloom Collard Project's future. Mitchell now plans to grow several varieties from the project — including one she's especially excited about. The "Moses Smith Yellow Cabbage Collard" is an African American stewarded heirloom that hails from the same region of North Carolina as Mitchell's ancestors. She plans to sell the seeds next year, once they've matured. This is key to the project's vision of finding new, energetic seed stewards to revive heirloom varieties.
The Heirloom Collard Project is hoping to find grants to help finance their work. The project also wants to identify varieties best suited for commercial use, such as the "Miss Annie Pearl Counselman Collard," which Seed Savers Exchange added to its catalog in 2021.
"They don't have to be the next kale, the next superfood," Mitchell says about collards. "Because they're special — and they're special to me."

If anyone can make an electric car that drives like a sports car it’s Porsche.
The Taycan is the German performance car maker’s first fully electric car. It’s available in a four-door sports saloon guise or two estate body shapes – called the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo and Taycan Sport Turismo.
We headed to Yorkshire for a drive in the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo. With extra ground clearance, adjustable-height suspension and four-wheel drive, Porsche bills the car as being suitable for a bit of light off-roading. There’s even an off-road pack on the options list.
Prices start at £88,270 for the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, which generates 483bhp from two electric motors. An overboost mode generates an extra 80bhp for short periods and brings up 0-62mph in just 4.1 seconds.
Want to go faster? Then for £140,000 you can have the Taycan Sports Turismo Turbo S. This beast generates a maximum of 750bhp and dispatches the 0-62mph sprint in a supercar-beating 2.9 seconds.
Having driven the “standard” Taycan Sports Turismo I can’t imagine wanting or needing more power.
Nought to 62mph comes up in 4.1 seconds, 0-99mph takes just 8.6 seconds, and in 13 seconds dead you’ll be going at 124mph (or 200kph in new money).
What’s more, power delivery is instantaneous. There’s no waiting on revs to build or a turbocharger to kick in. The moment you press the accelerator you begin hurtling forward.
That’s tremendous but it’s nothing unusual. A lot of electric cars are fast. What is unusual is how well the car handles. The sheer weight of electric cars – all those batteries are heavy – makes them cumbersome beasts. So while their straight line speed may be phenomenal, approach a corner and you have to slow right down.
Not so with the Taycan. Somehow Porsche’s engineers have come up with an electric car that’s serious fun to throw round bends. It turns into corners sharply, grips like crazy and remains flat and poised throughout. Various drive modes let you fine tune suspension and throttle settings.
With a 93.4kWh battery the Taycan is good for 277 miles, according to official figures. Of course how you drive will affect range considerably. Tootle around town and you’ll clear well over 300 miles before needing to plug in. Explore the car’s impressive performance envelope and watch that battery level plummet.
It accepts charging at up to 270kW so if you can find a point fast enough an 80% top up takes little more than 20 minutes.
The Taycan 4S Cross Turismo also scores well when it comes to comfort. Sitting at 60mph on a long stretch of empty Yorkshire road, wind noise was completely absent. There was, of course, no engine noise either. The muted thrum of tyres on tarmac was the only sound that indicated we were in motion.
The extra 20mm of ground clearance – 30mm with the optional off road package – over the standard Taycan makes ride quality even more comfortable, allowing the adaptive air suspension to iron out bumps, potholes and all the other imperfections in Britain’s pockmarked roads.
The Taycan 4S Cross Turismo scores well for practicality too. The rear seats are suitable for adults and boot space is good at 446 litres. Drop the rear seats and there’s 1,200 litres to play with. There’s also a ‘frunk’ storage space under the bonnet, where you can stash 84 litres’ worth of gear.
The well designed cabin feels of the highest quality. Three screens – one behind the steering wheel and two in the dashboard – are responsive and easy to read and use. The driver can customise the screen behind the wheel to their preference.
As is the case with all touchscreens, they’re great to operate when stationary but old fashioned dials and buttons are much easier to use without taking your eyes off the road.
With the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo Porsche has come up with one of the most impressive electric cars to date. It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s practical and luxurious. Range is good. It will even manage a bit of (very light) off-roading.
At £88,000, it doesn’t cost a whole heap more than a Jaguar I-Pace or Tesla Model S yet offers a better driving experience and that Porsche cachet.
You can spend nearly half as much again on range topping versions but the entry level model offers all you need and more.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has lodged a police report against Serba Dinamik Holdings Bhd (Serba Dinamik) with regards to the latter’s announcement made on April 21.
It said that the 26-page statement by Serba Dinamik had contained statements that were baseless and malicious, which may have the effect of misleading or confusing members of the public and/or painting a negative image of the SC and its officers.
In a statement today, the SC said the enforcement action against Serba Dinamik was taken in the public’s interest to promote the integrity and reliability of financial statements of public listed companies,
“As the statutory body mandated by the Parliament to regulate the Malaysian capital market, the SC is charged with the responsibility of maintaining trust and confidence in the capital market,” it said.
The SC has also denounced any attempts to intimidate it or its officers and undermine its authority and credibility.
To recap, in December 2021, Serba Dinamik and four of its board members and senior management were charged with offences under the securities laws for providing a false statement to Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd in relation to Serba Dinamik’s revenue figure of RM6.01 billion in its consolidated results for the quarter and year ended Dec 31, 2020.
The SC emphasised that investigations on the matter were conducted in accordance with its statutory powers and established processes and procedures.
“We deny that we had failed to hand over documents related to this case. The exercise of the SC’s investigation powers, including the raid conducted at Serba Dinamik’s office on May 18, 2021, was proper and executed in good faith in the discharge of its regulatory powers.
“Our investigating officers, prosecuting officers and deputy public prosecutors had not at any time threatened any staff of Serba Dinamik, and statements recorded from these witnesses were conducted according to due process.
“The statements were made to the SC voluntarily without any inducement, threat or promise, “ it said.
The SC said the police report was filed to enable the police and other relevant authorities to investigate the matter, including for the offence of defamation under Section 499 of the Penal Code and/or other relevant laws.

MAYFIELD, Ky. (AP) — Sundays at the Bullock home in rural Kentucky were filled with lasting memories: big family dinners, cornhole, basketball and karaoke.
Those gatherings ended the night of Dec. 10, when a massive tornado obliterated their Dawson Springs house, trapping Chris Bullock, 17-year-old son Stevie and miniature poodle Dewey under a crumbled brick wall in the basement. Her husband pulled them from the rubble with minor injuries, but the house where she and her family lived for 26 years was gone.
“There were things we were never able to find," Bullock told The Associated Press recently. “Our neighbor's dryer was in our yard. We found our ketchup but we couldn't find our refrigerator."
Four months after the tornado upended her family's lives, Chris Bullock and hundreds of other Kentuckians are arduously reconstructing their pre-storm existence. Thanks to a vast network of municipal workers, contractors, churches, charities and volunteers, communities like Dawson Springs, Mayfield and Bowling Green are edging toward recovery.
The storm system that spawned the deadly tornado tore through a handful of states. The National Weather Service recorded 41 tornadoes on Dec. 10 and 11, including 16 in Tennessee and eight in Kentucky. Eighty-one people died in Kentucky alone, state officials said. Thousands found shelter with relatives and friends, or in emergency facilities, hotels and state parks.
In Mayfield, a candle factory, a nursing home and government buildings were destroyed. Homes were ripped from foundations and splintered by fierce winds. Crews worked day and night to clear debris and restore power.
Audible evidence of rebuilding in Mayfield has been difficult to miss: the cracking and crashing of excavators breaking apart wood and glass, the beep-beep-beep of heavy machinery reversing, the popping of roofers' nail guns.
In an AP interview, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said removing debris and finding temporary housing were early priorities after the tornado. More recently, attention has turned to keeping residents in Kentucky.
“These are towns that have almost been wiped off the map,” Beshear said. “We will continue to be concerned about getting people back on their feet and concerned about not losing the population of these towns.”
Some have moved to more permanent shelter, including travel trailers, the governor said. In Graves County, tiny homes were approved for displaced residents, and several larger homes are being built in Mayfield, emergency management Director Tracy Warner said.
“We really hold the future of Mayfield and Graves County in our hands,” Warner said. “And that is scary, yet exciting."
Although there's cause for optimism, progress remains slow in places. In Dawson Springs, where Bullock and her family now live in a camper, the 54-year-old registered nurse said she has seen just a few houses being rebuilt, and some friends say they won't stay.
Bullock and her husband had paid off their home but didn’t have insurance. A disaster-response charity is helping them build a new house on their property, and Bullock hopes to see a day when their family gatherings resume.
“Sundays were fun days. ... I just want to have that again,” she said.
Beshear, a Democrat, said millions in housing assistance payments from a state relief fund are being distributed. About $64 million in federal assistance has been approved for storm victims in Kentucky, with some aid targeting temporary housing, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said.
Recovery will take “a couple of years, but it shouldn’t take any longer,” Beshear said. “There are days that it’s a little more frustrating, ... but we are going to get this done.”
After the storm, bottled water, diapers and other supplies poured in from across the country. Heartland Church in Paducah became a collection point as volunteers with trucks and trailers made deliveries. The Rev. Marc Glass and volunteers loaded a church outbuilding and a donated warehouse with everything from paper towels to toys.
Herschel Evans, a driver for the American Trucking Association’s Share the Road program, volunteered to drive a bright blue, 53-foot-long semitrailer full of supplies from Atlanta to Paducah.
“I don’t have a lot of money, but I’ve got skills," Evans said. "I’ve got the ability to move that truck around the country.”
Heartland’s relief efforts have shifted to rebuilding, with donated furniture and beds for those who have found new places to live. But Glass said the church's community spirit goes further than that.
“We don't simply care about your physical needs, but we care about you as a whole person. We care about your soul,” he said.
In Dawson Springs, charity group God’s Pit Crew is rebuilding Chris Bullock’s home free of charge.
The nonprofit, based in Danville, Virginia, uses donated equipment and volunteer workers to rebuild houses after disasters ranging from hurricanes to forest fires, said Chris Chiles, a staff member with the group.
Chiles led a convoy carrying about $1 million worth of heavy machinery, tree removal tools and a shower to Kentucky in January. God’s Pit Crew also brings volunteers who counsel victims.
“There’s more healing that goes on with that than putting a tarp on their roof. They can sit with someone and let them know that somebody cares about them,” Chiles said.
Bullock and her husband thought briefly about leaving Dawson Springs or finding an existing home rather than rebuild on their property, “but we lived in that house for 26 years and we raised five children there.”
“It's just home,” she said. “It just didn't feel right to be anywhere else.”

'We are capable of winning,' says Ukrainian parliament member
As the people of Ukraine continue to defend against a Russian onslaught, Yevheniia Kravchuk, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, says the nation is still looking for three main things from the United States: heavy weapons, sanctions on Russia and financial aid.
“We are capable of winning and we are capable of kicking Russians out.”
Ukrainian Parliament member Yevheniia Kravchuk tells @MarthaRaddatz that country needs more heavy weapons to fight Russian offensive in eastern Donbas region. https://t.co/qdD7p9HqVs pic.twitter.com/YPTiqtwrx1

"We need more weapons that would burn everything. Because right now Russians are putting artillery, tanks, everything they have and also they bombed civilians to terrorize the whole country," Kravchuk told "This Week" Co-Anchor Martha Raddatz. "As we're getting more than we burden every day, we are capable of winning and we're capable of kicking Russians out because that's the way how to end this -- to end this war."

EastEnders has revealed it is working alongside charity SurvivorsUK on a storyline involving male sexual assault airing next month.
Ben Mitchell, played by Max Bowden, will be at the centre of a new storyline after his character is raped by Lewis Butler, played by Aidan O’Callaghan.
Barman Lewis has befriended Ben in recent weeks, who is enduring a crisis of identity, before he becomes a victim of sexual assault.
Bowden, who plays the son of infamous Phil Mitchell, has said he is “honoured” to be able to tell “such an important story”.
He said: “Alongside some wonderful charities, and some very inspirational survivors of male sexual assault in the UK, I think we’ve been able to really strive to tell the most truthful account we can, and I hope we can raise awareness and understanding on a topic that is rarely covered.”
Kate Oates, head of continuing drama at BBC Studios, added: “Ben has endured a traumatic time after witnessing a homophobic attack on Callum that brought back painful memories of losing Paul.
“As a result, Ben lost his way in life, which is when he found Lewis. Ben finds Lewis attractive and thinks of him as a someone who can understand him in a way Callum does not, but that trust is abused when Lewis crosses a line and rapes Ben.
“Through this story, we hope to explore issues of consent, sexual identity, masculinity and sexual assault, focussing on how this fateful night impacts Ben and those who love him over the coming months.”
The BBC One soap opera said they have worked “closely” with charities including SurvivorsUK, Survivors Manchester and the Male Survivors Partnership (MSP) on the storyline.
Marta Almeida, services manager for SurvivorsUK, said: “Almost all of us will know a man who has been sexually assaulted at some point, but a huge number of male survivors still don’t feel there’s a space for them to come forward.
“Storylines like this one are an amazing opportunity to explore the reality for so many men, families and communities up and down the UK.”
Duncan Craig OBE, chief executive of Survivors Manchester, said: “Men as victims of sexual assault, rape and abuse is one that is often minimised, ignored or forgotten and unless its spoken about we as a society won’t fully be able to tackle it.
“While there is always some criticism at soap, drama or any kind of entertainment telling a story such as this, I am 100% confident that these cultural references have a direct impact on creating change within society but more importantly to me as a survivor, a direct impact on individual survivors themselves.
“I often think if I only had seen something on TV when I was going through my experience of sexual violence that showed it happens to men too, maybe I wouldn’t have stayed silent so long and caused so much damage to myself.”

‘Balogun wanted to win the tackle’ – Rangers’ Van Bronckhorst defends Super Eagle after red card
Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has given his verdict on the red card flashed to defender Leon Balogun in the team’s 3-1 victory against Motherwell in a Scottish Premiership on Saturday.
After Rangers took the lead courtesy of an own goal from Liam Kelly, the 33-year-old Nigeria international was shown a straight red card in the 28th minute following a clumsy challenge on Dean Cornelius.

His exit allowed Motherwell to draw level courtesy of Ross Tierney in the 35th minute but in the second half, the Gers retook the lead courtesy of Scott Wright in the 47th minute before James Tavernier sealed the win from the penalty spot in the 62nd minute.
Van Bronckhorst has explained his thoughts on the referee's decision to send off Balogun.
“Leon wanted to win the tackle, but in these circumstances, the margins are very little so the ref decided to give the red card and we had to respect that, move on and make sure we had the focus on the minutes that we had to play after that sending off,” Van Bronckhorst said as quoted by the club’s official website.
“Of course, we conceded the goal but I think we changed the game in the second half.”
Van Bronckhorst has also praised the performance of Zambia international Fashion Sakala, who won the penalty that was converted for the third goal.
“We know with Fashion [Sakala] and Scott up front you can always cause problems for a defence and, of course, we saw that with the run of Sakala and a good shot from Scott [for the second goal],” Sakala continued.
“The speed from Fashion also wins the penalty and it gives us the two goals which gave us the win. So we could change some players today and everyone who came in did very well and it is a very big win for us.”
On the outcome of the game, the former Arsenal defender said: “I'm very proud. We started the game well but the red card changed the momentum for us.
“After that, we had to adjust our game plan but I think it worked out well, especially when we have a lot of speed up front.”
Nigeria international Joe Aribo also featured in the game after coming on in the second half, the same as defender Calvin Bassey, who was introduced after the red card to his compatriot Balogun to replace Amad Diallo. | https://www.goal.com/en-tza/news/balogun-wanted-to-win-the-tackle-rangers-van-bronckhorst-defends-/blt5dd41557374a827d | 2022-04-24T14:15:42Z | https://www.goal.com/en-tza/news/balogun-wanted-to-win-the-tackle-rangers-van-bronckhorst-defends-/blt5dd41557374a827d | false | 7 |

No change in Pakistan Army's approach despite PTI's protest: Retired General
Pakistan's military will not change its approach towards the country's future "political and constitutional course" despite people coming out to support the former Prime Minister Imran Khan following his ouster.
- Country:
- Pakistan
Pakistan's military will not change its approach towards the country's future "political and constitutional course" despite people coming out to support the former Prime Minister Imran Khan following his ouster. Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Turkey's state-run news agency, Talat Masood, a retired three-star General in Pakistan, said, "The army will maintain its approach. There will be no change in its policy because of several crucial factors," The Express Tribune reported.
Retired General contended that the former PM's ongoing policy (blaming the 'American conspiracy' and Army for his exit) could "only diminish his chances of coming back to power." He also shared those factors which are the reason that the Pakistan army didn't change its approach, reported The Express Tribune.
Referring to Islamabad's dependence on the US and the European Union for the military hardware, trade, and financial aid, Masood said, "The first and foremost factor (behind no change in the military's policy) is that the state cannot afford Khan's narrative, which is highly detrimental in terms of economy, foreign policy, and internal and external security." He further said, "It is high time for Khan to review his current approach, which is not at all in the country's interest. He will definitely continue to enjoy (his) cult following, but it will not benefit the nation as a whole,"
Referring to the protest of youth and nearly nine million overseas Pakistanis, Mahmood Shah, a retired brigadier said that no matter how big the crowd is, it will not change the army's policy. "He will soon realise that he is pursuing a wrong approach," he added.
Imran Khan who was elected as the Prime Minister in 2018, was ousted through the no-trust motion by the opposition alliance earlier this month, as reported by The Express Tribune. Notably, he is the first PM who was ousted through a no-confidence motion in the country's 75-year political history.
Former Pakistan PM has blamed an "American conspiracy" for his exit. Army has rejected this claim, although it acknowledged there was an "interference" in Islamabad's internal affairs. Pakistan Former Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry acknowledged a bitterness in the relationship between Imran Khan and the army.
"The PTI would have been in power had our relations with the establishment were good," Chaudhry was quoted as saying by The Express Tribune citing his interview with Express News. Recently, Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa held a series of meeting with the current and retired military officers which according to analysts, is part of a "pacification" and "realisation of factual position" campaign in the face of criticism of the army is facing for its alleged role in the change of government in the country.
"The ongoing campaign, especially on social media, which aims to target the army has affected the ranks and files of the military. And this is quite understandable because the army men don't live in isolation. They have families, friends, and acquaintances with different political backgrounds," retired army Brigadier Said Nazir said. During an interview with Anadolu Agency, he further said that the ouster of Imran Khan didn't go well, not only with the supporters but also with many retired military officers who went out to express their peeve, which was "unprecedented", according to The Express Tribune.
"That's why the army chief is meeting with serving and retired officers to clarify the military's position on the recent political developments," Nazir, said. "It is not good for an already economically weak and politically polarised country. We cannot afford this (approach) when it comes to national security and foreign policy," he added.
"It will not benefit him (Khan) either. I don't think the army will bid for him to be the country's leader, at least in near future," he contended. (ANI)

NEW YORK (AP) — In the aftermath of their hard-won labor victory, Amazon workers in the New York City borough of Staten Island popped Champagne, cheered their victory and danced in celebration. But their jovial attitude will be tested by a company that seems likely to drag its feet to the bargaining table.
Among other things, the nascent Amazon Labor Union, or ALU, has said it wants longer breaks for warehouse employees, more time off and a dramatically higher minimum hourly wage of $30, up from just over $18 an hour now at the Staten Island facility.
To achieve anything close to that, the grassroots union would need to negotiate a contract with Amazon that both sides, as well as union members, agree on. Doing so could prove difficult.
Amazon is seeking to overturn the election, having argued in a filing with the National Labor Relations Board this month that the vote was tainted by organizers and by the board's regional office in Brooklyn that oversaw the election. On Friday, the company submitted material to support its objections in a filing to the agency. A spokeswoman for the labor board said the agency won't make that filing public while the case is still open. A separate NLRB regional office in the Southwest will likely hold hearings and decide whether to certify the results.
If Amazon's effort fails, it could appeal to the national labor board, whose Democratic majority is expected to favor the fledgling union. But even in cases when the agency upholds a union victory, companies often refuse to negotiate — a stance that can trigger lengthy legal battles in federal court as a backdoor way to thwart labor victories.
Data compiled in 2009 by Kate Bronfenbrenner, a labor expert at Cornell University, found that fewer than half of unions obtained their first contract within a year of winning an election, and 30% didn't secure one within three years. In the meantime, time ticks away as workers are left in a state of uncertainty.
John Logan, director of Labor and Employment Studies at San Francisco State University, says anti-union companies have traditionally taken the view that even if they lose an election, the battle isn’t truly lost until a union contract is signed.
“There’s every incentive for them to delay the process at every opportunity,” Logan said. “Law firms and consultants who specialize in continued avoidance activity have, for years, told employers explicitly, ‘Time is on your side.' "
Even if Amazon goes to federal court and fails, it could still cause a contract delay and potentially blunt some of the momentum a union victory might create. Chris Smalls, the fired Amazon worker who leads the Amazon Labor Union, has said that since the group won its election earlier this month, workers from more than 100 Amazon facilities in the U.S. have contacted the union about organizing their own workplaces. A neighboring Amazon warehouse on Staten Island, which has roughly 1,500 workers, is set to have its own union election this week.
Experts say delays for a contract can frustrate such union campaigns and undermine employee confidence in organized labor. The result can be a weak contract or diminished interest among workers in organizing.
If Amazon pursues a protracted legal battle before agreeing to a contract, the number of employees at the warehouse who voted for the union would also likely dwindle. Amazon is known for its high turnover rate — up to 73% at the unionizing warehouse in the past two years alone, according to a recent court filing by the company.
One way workers can push back is by employing a strike. That, of course, carries its own risks. Michael Duff, a former NLRB lawyer who teaches at University of Wyoming College of Law, noted that Amazon could replace any striker with a substitute worker, potentially leaving strikers out of a job for months or even years.
Some unions have funds to help out-of-work strikers stay afloat. But sustaining such support can be burdensome for unions. It’s also difficult for workers to survive long strikes, Duff said, something that employers know well.
Connor Spence, an Amazon employee who is ALU’s vice president of membership, says the nascent union is ready to pressure the company by making its case through the news media and by engendering public sympathy. According to a Gallup poll from August, public approval of unions is at its highest level since 1965.
Spence said ALU organizers, who appeared recently at a virtual event with Sen. Bernie Sanders, a longtime champion of labor causes, will also try to persuade lawmakers to lean on the retailer.
“But at the end of the day, it’s collective action that works,” Spence said.
Organizers could deploy a strike or a walkout to disrupt Amazon’s operations on Staten Island, Spence said, noting that walkouts have occurred at other Amazon facilities in recent months. The group also plans to set up a strike fund, using donations collected through its GoFundMe page.
For now, organizers are focused on a rematch with Amazon at the neighboring Staten Island warehouse known as LDJ5. A victory there would give Amazon workers additional leverage during any potential strike or walkout.
Amazon and its CEO, Andy Jassy, have said that while it’s up to employees to decide whether to join a union, they believe they’re better off not doing so. To press its argument, the company is continuing to hold mandatory anti-union meetings for workers — a practice that the labor board’s top prosecutor is trying to get outlawed.
Organizers have previously accused Amazon of confiscating union flyers from the LDJ5 warehouse. Last week, the union filed a complaint with the NLRB, asserting that Amazon has unlawfully barred it from displaying a pro-union sign in the break room. Organizers say workers had been able to display the same sign at JFK8, the neighboring facility that voted to unionize.
Seth Goldstein, a lawyer who is providing pro-bono legal help to the union, contended that Amazon managers told workers that it was against company policy to display the sign but didn’t specify the policy and threatened discipline. An Amazon spokesman said some workers had “erected a banner in violation of company policy" but declined to say why the same banner was allowed to be displayed in the nearby warehouse.
"It’s an information war," said Madeline Wesley, one of the organizers who works at the LDJ5 warehouse. “It’s not going to stop us. But we’re going to have to be a little careful, making sure that no one gets to the point where they’re starting to get seriously disciplined or lose their job.” | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Amazon-union-could-face-a-tough-road-ahead-after-17122828.php | 2022-04-24T14:31:00Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Amazon-union-could-face-a-tough-road-ahead-after-17122828.php | true | 31 |
The wait is finally over! BTS singer Jimin and Ha Sung Woon’s highly anticipated song With You, as part of Our Blues’ OST, has been released and it has left no dry eye in the house. A snippet of the song was featured in the sixth episode of the K-drama behind the snapshots from the lives of Lee Dong-Seok (Lee Byung-hun) and Min Seon-a (Shin Min-a). The teaser was shortly followed by the full song release and the track is heartbreakingly beautiful.
The duet is sung predominantly in English, with one portion of it in Korean, the song is about heartbreak and longing. The song is perfectly in sync with the theme of Lee Dong-Seok and Min Seon-a’s story. Jimin and Ha Sung Woon beautifully complement each other’s soothing vocals, taking the song a notch higher. The song has refrained from using high background music to keep the singers’ voices in focus.
With You marks Jimin’s debut OST track and it wouldn’t be surprising if the song becomes a massive hit among fans.
The initial reactions have already revealed that fans are in love with the track. Several fans took to Twitter and shared their reactions to the song.
jimin singing with you is just… the yearning is so strong. he clearly delivered that desperation to want to be with someone because without them, there’s nothing left to him. that despair is very much there. such an amazing singer.

It was just last week that the makers of Our Blues revealed that Jimin has collaborated with his close friend Ha Sung Woon for the song. South Korean news portal News1 revealed the song has been produced by Song Dong Woon. For the unversed, he has delivered iconic OSTs for K-dramas such as Hotel Del Luna, Descendants of the Sun, and Goblin. Speaking about the song, Song Dong Woon said, “After finding a lot of songs that fit well with the voices of Jimin and Ha Sung Woon and ‘Our Blues’, we were able to finish recording with a song that perfectly suited the drama.”
“Jimin’s sweet tone and Ha Sung Woon’s charming deep voice made this song more radiant, and the fantastic harmony made the song even more beautiful,” a member of the show’s production team added. As reported by Koreaboo, Jimin’s fan club on Twitter, @PJM_data, claimed that Ha Sung Woon spoke about the song via his private message function on the app Universe. He revealed that it had been in the making since last July. “The OST is the thing that I was excited about since last July,” he revealed, adding in another message, “It’s a total emotional song.” He also said, “There’s a behind-the-scenes story about us doing it together. I’ll tell you later.”

PM hails SVAMITVA scheme as it completes one year
- Country:
- India
As the SVAMITVA Scheme aimed at establishing clear ownership of property in rural areas completed a year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that leveraging the power of technology for people's welfare is at the core of the Centre's good governance efforts in villages.
SVAMITVA, a central sector scheme of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, was launched by Modi on National Panchayati Raj Day on April 24, 2021 after the successful completion of the scheme's pilot phase in nine states.
''At the core of our good governance efforts in India's villages is to leverage the power of technology for the welfare of people. An example of this is the SVAMITVA scheme which has given great results,'' Modi said in a tweet.
The scheme is a reformative step towards the establishment of clear ownership of property in rural inhabited areas by mapping land parcels using drone technology and providing 'Record of Rights' to village household owners with issuance of legal ownership cards.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and top Republican challenger David Perdue will meet Sunday for the first of three scheduled debates over the next eight days as they and other Republicans try to persuade voters to nominate them for governor.
The debates come as time grows short to persuade the many Georgia voters who will cast ballots ahead of primary election day on May 24. Counties can begin mailing absentee ballots Monday and early in-person voting begins May 2. Perdue skipped runoff debates in late 2020 in his U.S. Senate reelection race, which Perdue lost to Democrat Jon Ossoff.
Perdue is endorsed by former President Donald Trump, who has been focused on defeating Kemp. But Kemp has maintained a lead in fundraising and in the polls thus far as he seeks a second term. Besides Kemp and Perdue, the primary includes Republicans Catherine Davis, Kandiss Taylor and Tom Williams. A runoff would be held June 21 if needed.
Both Kemp and Perdue are telling supporters that they are the best Republican to defeat Democrat Stacey Abrams, unopposed for her party's nomination, in a narrowly divided Georgia that has rapidly become one the nation's key swing states. Libertarian Shane Hazel and independent Al Bartell are also on the November ballot.
Perdue says only he can unify Trump lovers who don't like Kemp with other Republicans and suburban swing voters. He also promises a gradual elimination of the state income tax, giving Buckhead residents a right to vote on seceding from Atlanta and strengthening state police.
But Kemp argues that his 2018 victory proves he is the best Republican to take on Abrams, and touts a gubernatorial record that includes raising teacher and employee pay, cutting taxes and quickly lifting restrictions after Georgia's brief COVID-19 lockdown.
Atlanta’s WSB-TV will air Sunday’s debate at 7 p.m., followed by a 7 p.m. Thursday debate at WTOC-TV in Savannah aired statewide by eight Gray Television stations and a 7 p.m. debate on May 1 hosted by the Atlanta Press Club and aired by Georgia Public Broadcasting.
Perdue's entry has dragged Kemp to the right on several issues, with the incumbent voicing support for banning transgender girls from high school sports and completing a 2018 campaign promise to remove the need for gun owners to have state issued permits to carry concealed weapons in public. Even if Kemp wins, the rare serious primary challenge to a sitting governor could leave Kemp weakened.
Trump blames the incumbent for not doing more to try to overturn Democrat Joe Biden’s win in Georgia in 2020. Perdue has sharpened his claims that he and Trump lost because of fraud in recent weeks, now calling the elections “stolen" in his stump speech and accusing Kemp of having “sold out” Georgia voters by refusing to call a special state legislative session before Jan. 6 to investigate or overturn the election.
Kemp was required by state law to certify the results and has repeatedly said any other course would have invited endless litigation. Federal and state election officials and Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the election was tainted. The former president’s allegations of fraud were also roundly rejected by courts, including by judges Trump appointed. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Kemp-and-Perdue-to-clash-in-Georgia-GOP-17122831.php | 2022-04-24T14:47:24Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Kemp-and-Perdue-to-clash-in-Georgia-GOP-17122831.php | true | 21 |

MAYFIELD, Ky. (AP) — Sundays at the Bullock home in rural Kentucky were filled with lasting memories: big family dinners, cornhole, basketball and karaoke.
Those gatherings ended the night of Dec. 10, when a massive tornado obliterated their Dawson Springs house, trapping Chris Bullock, 17-year-old son Stevie and miniature poodle Dewey under a crumbled brick wall in the basement. Her husband pulled them from the rubble with minor injuries, but the house where she and her family lived for 26 years was gone.
“There were things we were never able to find,” Bullock told The Associated Press recently. “Our neighbor’s dryer was in our yard. We found our ketchup but we couldn’t find our refrigerator.”
Four months after the tornado upended her family’s lives, Chris Bullock and hundreds of other Kentuckians are arduously reconstructing their pre-storm existence. Thanks to a vast network of municipal workers, contractors, churches, charities and volunteers, communities like Dawson Springs, Mayfield and Bowling Green are edging toward recovery.
The storm system that spawned the deadly tornado tore through a handful of states. The National Weather Service recorded 41 tornadoes on Dec. 10 and 11, including 16 in Tennessee and eight in Kentucky. Eighty-one people died in Kentucky alone, state officials said. Thousands found shelter with relatives and friends, or in emergency facilities, hotels and state parks.
In Mayfield, a candle factory, a nursing home and government buildings were destroyed. Homes were ripped from foundations and splintered by fierce winds. Crews worked day and night to clear debris and restore power.
Audible evidence of rebuilding in Mayfield has been difficult to miss: the cracking and crashing of excavators breaking apart wood and glass, the beep-beep-beep of heavy machinery reversing, the popping of roofers’ nail guns.
In an AP interview, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said removing debris and finding temporary housing were early priorities after the tornado. More recently, attention has turned to keeping residents in Kentucky.
“These are towns that have almost been wiped off the map,” Beshear said. “We will continue to be concerned about getting people back on their feet and concerned about not losing the population of these towns.”
Some have moved to more permanent shelter, including travel trailers, the governor said. In Graves County, tiny homes were approved for displaced residents, and several larger homes are being built in Mayfield, emergency management Director Tracy Warner said.
“We really hold the future of Mayfield and Graves County in our hands,” Warner said. “And that is scary, yet exciting.”
Although there’s cause for optimism, progress remains slow in places. In Dawson Springs, where Bullock and her family now live in a camper, the 54-year-old registered nurse said she has seen just a few houses being rebuilt, and some friends say they won’t stay.
Bullock and her husband had paid off their home but didn’t have insurance. A disaster-response charity is helping them build a new house on their property, and Bullock hopes to see a day when their family gatherings resume.
“Sundays were fun days. … I just want to have that again,” she said.
Beshear, a Democrat, said millions in housing assistance payments from a state relief fund are being distributed. About $64 million in federal assistance has been approved for storm victims in Kentucky, with some aid targeting temporary housing, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said.
Recovery will take “a couple of years, but it shouldn’t take any longer,” Beshear said. “There are days that it’s a little more frustrating, … but we are going to get this done.”
After the storm, bottled water, diapers and other supplies poured in from across the country. Heartland Church in Paducah became a collection point as volunteers with trucks and trailers made deliveries. The Rev. Marc Glass and volunteers loaded a church outbuilding and a donated warehouse with everything from paper towels to toys.
Herschel Evans, a driver for the American Trucking Association’s Share the Road program, volunteered to drive a bright blue, 53-foot-long semitrailer full of supplies from Atlanta to Paducah.
“I don’t have a lot of money, but I’ve got skills,” Evans said. “I’ve got the ability to move that truck around the country.”
Heartland’s relief efforts have shifted to rebuilding, with donated furniture and beds for those who have found new places to live. But Glass said the church’s community spirit goes further than that.
“We don’t simply care about your physical needs, but we care about you as a whole person. We care about your soul,” he said.
In Dawson Springs, charity group God’s Pit Crew is rebuilding Chris Bullock’s home free of charge.
The nonprofit, based in Danville, Virginia, uses donated equipment and volunteer workers to rebuild houses after disasters ranging from hurricanes to forest fires, said Chris Chiles, a staff member with the group.
Chiles led a convoy carrying about $1 million worth of heavy machinery, tree removal tools and a shower to Kentucky in January. God’s Pit Crew also brings volunteers who counsel victims.
“There’s more healing that goes on with that than putting a tarp on their roof. They can sit with someone and let them know that somebody cares about them,” Chiles said.
Bullock and her husband thought briefly about leaving Dawson Springs or finding an existing home rather than rebuild on their property, “but we lived in that house for 26 years and we raised five children there.”
“It’s just home,” she said. “It just didn’t feel right to be anywhere else.”

Cincinnati Art Museum host to ‘significant collection’ of Nabataean material
By Saeb Rawashdeh - Apr 23,2022 - Last updated at Apr 23,2022

AMMAN — The Cincinnati Art Museum is “honoured to work closely” with Jordanian museums and institutions, a relationship that has spanned decades, noted its curator of South Asian Art, Islamic Art and Antiquities, Ainsley M. Cameron.
Cameron said that on her most recent trip to Jordan she visited Amman, Petra, Madaba, and the site of Khirbet et-Tannur, meeting with colleagues and officials “to discuss our multi-year project to reinstall the ancient Middle East gallery”.
Also accompanying her on the visit was Sarah Wenner, a Nabataean specialist with over a decade of experience researching and working in Jordan, and Andrew W. Mellon, a curatorial fellow at the Cincinnati museum, she said.
Khirbet et-Tannur, located north of Tafileh, was excavated in 1937 by Nelson Glueck working in collaboration with the Department of Antiquities of Transjordan, Cameron said.
She added that Glueck, a Cincinnatian himself, was then based in Jerusalem and was well known in the region for his archaeological survey work.
“He was invited to work at Tannur and led a large team to excavate the site over two seasons,” she said. She also noted that “as was the norm at the time”, the archaeological finds were divided and half has been cared for by the Cincinnati Art Museum since 1939.
“We are honoured to be the home for these collections and understand their great significance to both the history of Jordan as well as their importance today,” Cameron stated.
Regarding the collection of artefacts from Khirbet et-Tannur, Cameron said: “We are honoured to steward the most significant collection of Nabataean material culture outside of Jordan. At the conceptual centre of this collection are the material remains from Khirbet et-Tannur, which include the altar platform and multiple sculptural fragments from the site.”
Moreover, with these fragmentary remains, scholars are able to explore the history of the architectural programme of the temple, imagining how it once stood before the earthquake destroyed much of the site in 363 AD, she said.
“We established a thematic framework to display the collections that encourages our visitors to make connections across empires and civilisations, as well as between past and present. This approach has proved successful,” Cameron continued.
“Cincinnatians and visitors to our city can better understand the collections and cultures we are so honoured to present,” she added.
The curator said the museum is looking forward to continuing to develop close ties with Jordanian colleagues, “perhaps through a joint exhibition project, further research opportunities, and more”.
“When we tour visitors through our galleries, I always encourage them to travel to Jordan as well,” Cameron said.

Ten-man Accrington celebrated a 2-1 win in their final home game of the Sky Bet League One campaign against Lincoln, with both teams now safe from the drop.
In an eventful opening, Liam Cullen’s shot crashed against a post for the Imps while Jack Nolan’s header hit the top of the crossbar for the home side.
Stanley opened the scoring in the 34th minute when Tommy Leigh headed the ball goalwards and Colby Bishop, on the line with Imps defender Adam Jackson, forced the ball into the net with the strike credited as an own goal.
Stanley continued to press and Imps keeper Jordan Wright denied Ross Sykes on the stroke of half-time and Mitch Clark just after the restart.
Accrington doubled their lead in the 59th minute when Ethan Hamilton’s strike was pushed out by Wright but into the path of Bishop, who fired into the empty net.
However, Stanley lost goalkeeper Toby Savin in the 61st minute when he was sent off for handling outside his area.
In the third minute of stoppage time, Lewis Fiorini rifled home what proved to be a consolation for Lincoln. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/sport/4207433/colby-bishop-involved-in-both-goals-as-accrington-overcome-lincoln/ | 2022-04-24T15:19:10Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/sport/4207433/colby-bishop-involved-in-both-goals-as-accrington-overcome-lincoln/ | true | 3 |
