An investigation has been launched after suspected arson at a playground in Newcastle.
An investigation is ongoing after a children’s playground was damaged on Brunton Lane, Kingston Park on April 23. It is believed that those responsible entered the park’s play area around 8.30pm and stripped wood from nearby trees to start a fire causing significant damage to the grounds and play equipment.
Emergency services were called and the fire was safely extinguished however, the offenders had fled the scene and their actions have left the park unusable for the local children. An investigation has been launched and officers are treating the fire as suspected arson and are asking the public to come forward with any information.
Neighbourhood Inspector Karen Madge, of Northumbria Police, said: “This is a senseless offence which has left a community without its local park. This behaviour will not be tolerated in our communities and anyone found to have been involved can expect to be dealt with robustly.
“A number of enquiries are ongoing to identify those involved but today we’re asking anyone who may have information that could help our investigation to get in touch – no matter how small the detail.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police via the ‘Tell Us Something’ page of their website or by calling 101 quoting reference number NP-20220423-1097.
Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. | https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/police-probe-fire-started-childrens-23771118 | 2022-04-24T15:31:51Z | https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/police-probe-fire-started-childrens-23771118 | true | 1 |

KEARNEY – Vanessa Lo was willing to pitch in wherever she was needed Saturday, even if it meant handling a nail gun for the first time.
The University of Nebraska at Kearney student admits that part of her community service project was a little nerve-wracking, but she enjoyed learning to install siding at the Habitat for Humanity build site at 17th Street and Avenue P.
“I want to help as much as I can so when I drive by this house I can say, ‘I did that,’” said Lo, a junior from Lexington who will start pharmacy school this fall. “It makes you feel good when you can do something like this to help other people.”
About 25 members of UNK’s Kearney Health Opportunities Program (KHOP) assisted with the house construction as part of The Big Event, the university’s largest single-day service project.
Organized by UNK Student Government, the annual event allows Lopers to give back to the community and say thanks for all the support Kearney provides. Roughly 550 students from a variety of campus organizations participated this year.

“The Kearney community does a lot for us and it’s important for us to give back,” said UNK senior Henrique Adabo, a pre-medical student from Columbus.
Adabo, a member of KHOP and the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, also signed up for The Big Event as a freshman. He believes it exemplifies the UNK student body and their dedication.
“The fact that nearly 600 students are participating is a very special thing,” Adabo said. “I don’t think you’ll see that at many other universities.”
UNK students volunteered at about 60 job sites in the Kearney area, completing spring cleaning, assisting with yardwork, landscaping and painting, building picnic tables and tackling other tasks.
Chapter President Taryn Hadwiger and 12 more members of the Alpha Phi sorority walked the ditches along U.S. Highway 30 while collecting aluminum cans, plastic bottles and other discarded items in big, orange trash bags. The cleanup covered a 1-mile section on the city’s east edge adopted by Kearney Elks Lodge #984. Hadwiger was also part of a similar project a couple weeks ago just west of Kearney, where the Order of Omega Greek honor society sponsors a stretch of highway.
“At UNK, we want to get involved in the Kearney community. We’re here to help and we’re here to support them as much as they support us,” said Hadwiger, a junior from Amherst.
Around 60 members of Alpha Phi took part in Saturday’s event, with students spread across multiple locations. Spencer Kuhl was happy to have them at the highway cleanup site.
“Our Kearney Elks Lodge members are aging and it’s harder and harder to get volunteers,” he said. “This allows us to continue doing this project. Without them, it would be harder to accomplish, that’s for sure.”
For students like Lo, The Big Event serves as inspiration by showing them how to stay involved in community service after graduation.
“We’re literally building a house for somebody,” she said. “That’s proof that we can make an impact in the community.” | https://kearneyhub.com/news/local/more-than-500-unk-students-give-back-to-community-during-the-big-event/article_94c6eef2-c3c5-11ec-90e2-cb146d89de49.html | 2022-04-24T15:52:36Z | https://kearneyhub.com/news/local/more-than-500-unk-students-give-back-to-community-during-the-big-event/article_94c6eef2-c3c5-11ec-90e2-cb146d89de49.html | false | 2 |
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — President Joe Biden on Sunday commemorated the 107th anniversary of the start of the “Armenian genocide,” issuing a statement in memory of the 1.5 million Armenians “who were deported, massacred or marched to their deaths in a campaign of extermination.”
The statement did not reference the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which Biden has called a genocide. Yet Biden used the anniversary to lay down a set of principles for foreign policy as the United States and its allies arm Ukrainians and impose sanctions on Russia.
“We renew our pledge to remain vigilant against the corrosive influence of hate in all its forms,” the president said. “We recommit ourselves to speaking out and stopping atrocities that leave lasting scars on the world.”
In 1915, Ottoman officials arrested Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople, now Istanbul. The Biden statement notes that this event on April 24 marked the beginning of the genocide.
Fulfilling a campaign promise, Biden used the term “genocide” for the first time during last year’s anniversary. Past White Houses had avoided that word for decades out of a concern that Turkey — a NATO member — could be offended.
Turkish officials were angered by Biden’s declaration a year ago, with the foreign ministry issuing a statement that said, “We reject and denounce in the strongest terms the statement of the President of the US regarding the events of 1915 made under the pressure of radical Armenian circles and anti-Turkey groups.” | https://mountainmedianews.com/biden-marks-armenian-genocide-aims-to-stop-atrocities/ | 2022-04-24T15:57:38Z | https://mountainmedianews.com/biden-marks-armenian-genocide-aims-to-stop-atrocities/ | false | 21 |

World champion Max Verstappen rekindled his title defence and acclaimed his resurgent Red Bull team on Sunday after he led Sergio Perez home in a dominant one-two triumph in Ferrari’s backyard at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
In a rain-affected race, the 24-year-old Dutchman came home 16.5 seconds ahead of his Red Bull team-mate as Charles Leclerc and Ferrari endured a disappointing day in front of passionate home support at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari.
Leclerc, who started second on the grid, finished sixth after making a poor start and spinning in the closing laps while running third, allowing Lando Norris to take third for McLaren.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Enoch Kelly Haney, a Native American artist, Seminole Nation chief and Oklahoma state lawmaker, has died at age 81.
Haney’s death was announced Saturday by Brian Palmer, assistant chief of the Seminole Nation. A cause of death was not immediately released.
“With a heavy heart, the Seminole Nation woke to the news of the passing of Chief Kelly Haney. An inspiration to many, an accomplished artisit, his work with the State and later as Chief highlighted his career, but his greatest achievement is that of family. Keep his family in prayer and may they find comfort in knowing the Seminole Nation and Indian Country mourns his loss,” Palmer said in a statement on Facebook.
In a tweet on Saturday, Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt said Haney’s “contributions to our state are mighty.”
Haney, who had most recently lived in Norman, grew up in Seminole. His grandfather was the chief of the Seminole Tribe in the 1940s.
A Democrat, Haney was a Methodist minister prior to entering politics in 1978 as co-chair of then-Lt. Gov. George Nigh’s first of four successful campaigns for governor.
Haney served stints in the state House and Senate from 1980-2002 and was chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee from 1994-2002.
He ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination for governor in 2002 and was elected principal chief of the Seminole Nation in 2005. His 17-foot sculpture “The Guardian,” a towering statue of a Native American, was placed atop the state Capitol dome in 2002.
In a 2014 interview with The Oklahoman, Haney said his art was grounded in his heritage.
“My grandfather and father were great storytellers, so I have that ability to tell stories, about native people and their history and so forth.

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — A series of attacks targeted three military bases in Mali on Sunday, killing at least six soldiers and injuring nearly a dozen more, the West African nation's army said.
In a tweet, the Malian army said simultaneous attacks were underway in Sevare, Niono and Bapho, three central towns in the sprawling desert nation.
While no one has claimed responsibility for the attack, violence linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State has ravaged the nation for eight years. The military junta that seized power in 2020 has been struggling to stem the violence.
Mali's army has been attacked a number of times this year but this is the first time they are being hit in three different cities.
A military official not authorized to speak to the media said the attacks involved car bombs and that the camp in Bapho was particularly hard hit, with shrapnel from an explosion damaging a helicopter.
The violence occurred in the center of the country where the Malian military together with the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary force, has been very active and where the junta has been claiming to have been making significant progress, said Michael Shurkin, a former political analyst at the CIA who works with the Dakar-based 14 North Strategies.
“The attacks appear to belie the government’s claims. The attacks appear well-coordinated. This is not the work of an adversary whose back is up against a wall,” he said. | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Six-soldiers-die-in-attacks-targeting-Mali-17122962.php | 2022-04-24T16:14:53Z | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Six-soldiers-die-in-attacks-targeting-Mali-17122962.php | true | 22 |

Melani grew addicted to the ‘trance’ of binge-eating. Then came the guilt
Melani De Sousa likens binge-eating to being in a trance. She remembers the ritual of coming home from school and, hidden from the eyes of her parents and sister, consuming whatever she could find in the kitchen. Sometimes it was tablespoons of plain butter, other times it was multiple slices of cake or bowls of cereal. It didn’t matter what it was.
“You’re not actually tasting a lot of what you’re having,” De Sousa says.
“It’s almost like you are in a daze ... and all you care about at that point is shoving food down your mouth.
“It’s an avalanche of feelings, experiences, movements.”
De Sousa, 32, lived with binge-eating disorder for about 15 years. She tells her story for the fifth episode of youth mental health podcast Enough to shed light on the illness.
It’s by far the most common type of eating disorder – it affects 47 per cent of all people who have an eating disorder, while just 3 per cent have anorexia and 12 per cent have bulimia – yet it remains poorly understood.
De Sousa’s eating disorder came on not long after she moved to Melbourne from South Africa at age 9 and just as her body was beginning to go through the changes that come with puberty. She developed a secret obsession with food.
“I started using food to cope,” De Sousa says. “I just remember the only thing I really looked forward to was eating.”
Binge-eating held immense power over her because it allowed her to detach from her emotional pain, she says.
“Feeling my feelings was too hard – feeling the isolation, the loneliness, the incredible sense of not coping.”
Like many people with binge-eating disorder, De Sousa experienced cycles of bingeing followed by restricting food. These cycles could last a matter of hours. She explains that bingeing would compel her to limit food out of guilt, but this, in turn, intensified a desire to let go of control.
What are the signs of binge-eating disorder?
A person with binge-eating disorder has recurrent episodes of eating a large amount of food in a short period of time (usually under two hours). To meet diagnostic criteria, the episodes occur at least once a week for three months. The warning signs can be physical, psychological, and behavioural.
- Feeling a loss of control when while eating
- Habits such as eating very quickly or eating even when full
- Extreme distress, sadness, anxiety or guilt during and after a binge episode
- Feeling preoccupied with eating, food, body shape and weight
- Secretive behaviour, such as hiding food or not wanting to eat around others
- Extreme body dissatisfaction and shame about appearance
- Low self-esteem, depression, anxiety or irritability
- Increased sensitivity to comments about food and body shape or evading questions
- Erratic behaviour, such as stealing or spending a lot of money on food
- Increased isolation and withdrawal from previously enjoyed activities
- Changes in weight
- Feeling tired and not sleeping well
- Feeling bloated, constipated or developing intolerances to food
Source: National Eating Disorders Collaboration
“It’s like a release,” she says. “And only once that bingeing episode stops do you ‘come to’ and you realise what’s happened. And the guilt hits you like nothing you’ve ever been hit with before.”
She says her eating disorder made her feel like she’d failed and her relationships with family and friends were significantly impacted.
“I had no space left in my brain to deal with anything else,” she says. “I was constantly scared that someone would find out.”
Professor Stephen Touyz, director of University of Sydney’s InsideOut Institute for Eating Disorders, says about 1 million Australian adults are living with the illness, but awareness is low partly because it only became formally recognised as a standalone illness in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 2013.
At age 17, De Sousa was incorrectly diagnosed with bulimia nervosa. Both conditions involve consuming a very large amount of food in a short amount of time, but only bulimia involves purging to compensate.
This type of confusion is one of the many ways people misunderstand binge-eating disorder, Touyz says.
“It’s not just ‘eating too much’. It involves eating very rapidly, eating when you’re not hungry at all,” he says. “You have an inability to control what you eat. You cannot stop eating even if you want to.”
It took years for De Sousa to find the help she needed. She says she was repeatedly dismissed for treatment because her weight wasn’t considered low or high enough. It’s a mistake, she says, to think that all people with an eating disorder are thin or that all people with binge-eating disorder must be in a larger body.
“I never knew that the severity of my struggle would be measured in kilograms,” she says.
“I tried to take my life twice because I was at a point where I was like, ‘How much more does a person need to struggle for you to realise this is not a physical condition that you can see?’”
People with binge-eating disorder often report having their concerns diminished by health professionals, Touyz says.
“Telling someone [with binge-eating disorder] to eat less is like telling an alcoholic … to drink less. It doesn’t work,” he says.
Eating Disorders Victoria’s manager of telehealth services, Amy Woods, says many damaging assumptions shroud binge-eating disorder, including that it’s a choice to overeat or it’s driven by greed or laziness.
“Society tends to see people that may be presenting with binge-eating challenges as ‘this is somebody who needs to lose weight or needs to go to the gym or needs to be on a diet’. Whereas really, that’s not the problem at all,” Woods says.
“The emotions that are coming up around food and eating are the primary challenge.”
A study by the InsideOut Institute published last month found it took on average 10 years for someone with binge-eating disorder to get treatment, compared to two years for someone with anorexia. The authors noted that people with binge-eating disorder were more likely to be blamed for their illness and perceived lack self-discipline.
“There’s all these stereotypical statements, which is why so many people don’t reach out,” De Sousa says.
It’s even more important, now, she says, to spread understanding of binge-eating disorder. During COVID-19, there was a sharp rise in the number of people struggling with an eating disorder. In 2020, there was a 25-50 per cent surge in cases across the public health system.
Young people were particularly vulnerable. A Resolve poll of 16-24 year-olds found that more than a third were dealing with eating-disorder symptoms in the past two years, compared to 16 per cent of those aged 25 and older. Binge-eating symptoms were the most common.
De Sousa runs an allied health business called the Wellness Workshop, which provides one-on-one support and educational programs. She says that inquiries for eating-disorder support grew by 600 per cent during the pandemic and about four in five of her clients have binge-eating behaviours.
“[We have] parents calling us who are just at their wit’s end, they are so desperate,” De Sousa says.
The 2022-23 federal budget included $24.3 million in funding for eating disorder services, which the sector has welcomed. However, Touyz believes specialist binge-eating disorder clinics are needed to stop people from falling through the cracks. The demand is there, he says. He co-authored a 2017 South Australian study which found there had been a six-fold increase in binge-eating behaviours across the population over an 18-year period, rising from 2.7 per cent in 1998 to 13 per cent in 2015.
Touyz says treatment is very effective and about half of binge-eating disorder patients recover with psychological methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy. Medication can offer extra help.
Treating binge-eating disorder
- A range of psychological therapies are highly effective, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy and interpersonal therapy
- For adults, CBT has been shown to be the most effective. Evidence-based guided self-help can help too
- For children and adolescents, both CBT and family-based treatment are recommended
- In addition to therapy, medication may help. The drug Vyvanse can be prescribed for binge-eating disorder. It is also treats ADHD, and is thought to help control the impulse to binge
- There is also some evidence for the use of anti-depressant medication, as improved mood may prevent binge episodes

At 24, De Sousa started to improve. Disordered eating is, at its core, an unhealthy coping mechanism and De Sousa says she now has 20 different coping mechanisms – from exercise to listening to classical music – to manage emotional struggles. She also learnt to practise intuitive eating, which involves trusting your stomach, not your mind, to make the decision about what you eat.
She knows she has come a long way. “Christmas was the most anxiety-provoking day for me ... The idea of having a table full of food just made me feel scared.”
Whereas today, she’s highly in tune with what her body needs and eats both mindfully and freely.
“To be really honest, I didn’t actually know who I was before the age of 24. So much of my sense of self was made up by my eating disorder,” she says. “I’m learning who I am.”

Chargers coach Brandon Staley was serious when he said at the NFL Scouting Combine that he’s always going to be looking for cornerbacks.
The Chargers signed prize free-agent cornerback J.C. Jackson last month to pair with last year’s rookie standout Asante Samuel Jr., but that didn’t stop Staley from traveling across the country to scout the best cornerbacks in the draft.
Cornerback isn’t a glaring need, but it might be as high as offensive tackle on the team’s draft priority list. Adding another quality cornerback could be the missing piece to unlocking Staley’s defense in 2022.
The Chargers have Michael Davis, but he struggled as the team’s No. 1 outside cornerback last season and might be better suited as a rotational player. Davis would also give the team the flexibility of not rushing a rookie cornerback if they decide to go that route in Thursday’s first round.
More cornerbacks would lead to more opportunities for Staley to tinker with groupings of five and six defensive backs on the field. The Chargers have the 17th pick in the opening round and don’t have a second-round pick, having sent it to Chicago as part of the Khalil Mack trade. They currently hold 10 total picks, with two in the sixth round and four in the seventh round.
The Chargers have one of the best safeties in the NFL with Derwin James, but lack depth at the position. Nasir Adderley, the 2019 second-round pick, has had mixed results as the team’s starting free safety.
Here are options and scenarios the Chargers could be faced with during the three-day draft in Las Vegas to address their needs in the secondary:
Meet the top three cornerbacks
Ahmad Gardner, Cincinnati
Derek Stingley Jr., LSU
Trent McDuffie, Washington
Analysis: Gardner is considered by many draft experts as the best coverage corner in the draft and probably won’t fall outside the top 10.
Stingley might have the highest ceiling among the cornerback prospects, but he played only 10 games the past two seasons because of injuries. Staley, Chargers defensive coordinator Renaldo Hill and defensive backs coach Derrick Ansley made the trip to LSU’s Pro Day and were likely convinced by Stingley that he’s healthy and still the same player from his dynamic freshman season.
The Chargers would be thrilled if Gardner or Stingley is available at pick 17, but that’s probably a long shot.
McDuffie is a more realistic option for the Chargers, who spoke to the St. John Bosco High product at the combine. The 5-foot-11 McDuffie said the team was intrigued by his ability to play outside and inside cornerback.
Dane Brugler, The Athletic’s draft expert, has McDuffie rated higher than Stingley and considers McDuffie the 12th–best prospect in the draft.
What if safety Kyle Hamilton falls to 17?
Analysis: Hamilton is drawing comparisons to James as a do-it-all safety out of Notre Dame, but his draft stock took a hit after posting subpar times in the 40-yard dash.
James was considered a top-five pick before mysteriously dropping to 17th for the Chargers in the 2018 draft. Two versatile safeties are better than one, and this would be another dream scenario for the Chargers if Hamilton is available.
Hamilton is probably the only safety the Chargers would consider taking if they don’t trade out of their first pick. Safety isn’t a top priority, but Adderley hasn’t done enough in his first four seasons to avoid training-camp competition.
Options if no defensive back in the first round
Tariq Woolen, CB, UTSA
Coby Bryant, CB, Cincinnati
Joshua Williams, CB, Fayetteville State
Josh Jobe, CB, Alabama
Jaylen Watson, CB, Washington State
Bryan Cook, S, Cincinnati
Nick Cross, S, Maryland
Analysis: All the defensive backs listed in this section received a third- or fourth-round grade by Brugler. The Chargers currently pick 15th in the third round (79th overall) and 18th in the fourth round (123rd overall).
The Chargers could get by with a quality cornerback trio of Jackson, Samuel and Davis, but the team wants depth at the position thanks to a competitive AFC West with top-flight quarterbacks like Denver’s Russell Wilson, Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Las Vegas’ Derek Carr.
Expect the Chargers to draft a cornerback in the middle rounds if they don’t do it in the first round.
What the draft experts are saying
Brugler’s assessment of McDuffie from his 2022 NFL Draft Guide
“McDuffie might not hit ideal size threshold for some, but he is an easy sell in draft rooms because he has outstanding athleticism, intelligence and is well-schooled in various techniques. He has a high ceiling and a high floor and should start as an NFL rookie.” | https://www.pe.com/2022/04/24/chargers-draft-preview-is-trent-mcduffie-the-missing-piece-in-the-secondary/ | 2022-04-24T16:41:18Z | https://www.pe.com/2022/04/24/chargers-draft-preview-is-trent-mcduffie-the-missing-piece-in-the-secondary/ | true | 10 |
Until our dishwasher broke down I’d forgotten how nice it was to do the washing up.
I’ve now been assigned, by you-know-who, to be in charge of dirty dishes until further notice.
The duration of this mission depends on which comes first: my enthusiasm waning (as happens with my fads) or a repairman fixing the dishwasher.
The date of either outcome is hard to predict.
But it’s given me time to immerse myself in thoughts about whether it is cheaper to wash by hand than continue with our dishwasher.
After all, we are all thinking about ingenious ways of reducing our energy bills in this horrific cost of living crisis.
Cancelling Netflix won’t solve energy price crunch https://t.co/1JSWx7ykkE | opinion
— Financial Times (@FT) April 22, 2022
I will study our next monthly energy bill with great interest to see if my efforts have watered down these stinging cost rises.
On the face of it, washing by hand would instinctively seem a cheaper option than an electro-guzzler like a dishwasher.
Could I be helping drain the Earth’s will to live?
So I could actually be draining our finances, and the Earth’s will to live, even more than I thought.
I must make something crystal-clear amid all this talk of washing up: the research was financed by a company manufacturing dishwasher tablets.
Soaking our hands in hot sudsy water is one of life’s pleasures, and pays dividends in unexpected ways as far as mental wellbeing is concerned.
If you have enough hours to spare there is a small mountain of academic work by psychologists – as big as a pile of unwashed dishes – on this very subject.
They conclude it’s similar to walking the dog or taking up painting: in this case, your mind drifts away along with the bubbles.
It reminds me of a time I used to help out on a market stall in deepest winter – and dash into the washrooms to plunge my freezing hands under the hot tap.
Fairy cleaning up with royal warrant
In the old days Fairy unashamedly targeted women as the main workhorses shouldering this daily drudgery.
Some of us might remember their old TV ad: “Hands that do dishes can be as soft as your face with mild green Fairy liquid.”
It would be called out as sexist now, but I have not seen any effects yet – my face and hands are like Brillo pads, so I have some way to go.
I’m in good company doing the dishes, though: I see Fairy has a royal warrant from the Queen.
I didn’t realise the Queen had been washing her own dishes for all these years, did you?
I find that trying to get kitchen appliances fixed is often a hit and miss affair.
We have one of those breakdown insurance policies which rolls together most of our white goods under one premium.
I am always asking if it’s worth it – the annual lump sum is far more than actual repairs, if any – but stick with it because I always fall for the “peace of mind” line.
Getting appliances fixed is a postcode lottery
They never seem to have the right part when they turn up and need a second appointment.
One visiting engineer let me into a little secret: he claimed 50% of parts ordered by the call centre – after initial contact from customers – are wrong.
I think this is because they have to rely on garbled, rambling assessments of faults by customers.
Trying to speak to a real person at the call centre is also hit and miss.
Have you noticed how everyone we pay for a service wants us to go online these days, and stop bothering them in person?
I can’t pull plug on policy
The banks started it all way before Covid by pretending we all preferred to do our financial chores online.
There is so much at stake now that I cannot pull the plug on my dishwasher and other kitchen insurance.
I’ve had it so long that everything is on the verge of packing up – and the policy will pay for shiny brand new replacements.
Our stove is 17 years-old, for pity’s sake; it’s one of those super fan-assisted cookers which attacks food like a military flamethrower.
I keep willing it to die so we can cash in.
A postcode lottery TV ad was playing in the background as I washed up.
We’re in that, too.
It is also like an insurance policy.
I can’t leave it in case the neighbours win – and I have to watch them celebrating without me at a street party.
I think it’s time I put the crocks away.

Updated April 24, 2022 at 11:01 AM ET
PARIS — France voters turned out Sunday for a presidential runoff election that has wide repercussions for Europe's future, with President Emmanuel Macron considered the front-runner but fighting a tough challenge from far-right rival Marine Le Pen.
The centrist Macron is asking voters to trust him for a second five-year term despite a presidency that was troubled by protests, the pandemic and Russia's war on Ukraine. A Macron victory in this vote would make him the first French president in 20 years to win a second term.
The result Sunday in France, a nuclear-armed nation with one of the world's biggest economies, could also impact the war in Ukraine, as France has played a key role in diplomatic efforts and firmly backed sanctions against Russia for its invasion of its neighbor.
All recent opinion polls converge toward a win for the 44-year-old pro-European Macron — yet the margin over his 53-year-old far-right rival varies broadly. Polls also forecast a possibly record-high number of people who will either cast a blank vote or not vote at all.
Le Pen's support in France's electorate has grown during this campaign to her highest level ever, and much will depend Sunday on how many people turn out to vote. Participation was 26.1% at midday, slightly higher than in the first-round vote on April 10.
Many of those expected to choose Macron are doing so mainly to keep out Le Pen, whose platform is seen as extreme and anti-democratic, such as her plan to ban the Muslim headscarf in public. Macron has questioned her party's ties to Russia.
"I am serene," Le Pen said as she voted in the northern town of Henin-Beaumont and took selfies with fans. "I have confidence in the French."
Macron, meanwhile, greeted crowds with handshakes and embraces in the English Channel coastal town of Le Touquet.
Both candidates are trying to court the 7.7 million supporters of leftist Jean-Luc Melenchon, who was among the 10 other presidential candidates eliminated in the first round of voting on April 10.
For many who voted for left-wing candidates in the first round, the runoff presents an unpalatable choice between Le Pen, a far-right, anti-immigrant nationalist, and Macron, a leader who some feel has veered to the right during his first term. The outcome could depend on whether left-wing voters back Macron or abstain from voting, leaving him to fend for himself against Le Pen.
Voting west of Paris in the suburb of Le Pecq, Stephanie David cast her ballot for Macron "without much joy." She had voted for the Communist Party candidate in round one.
"It was the least worst choice," said the transport worker, who added that Le Pen was anathema to her. "Even if she tries to soften her rhetoric, I can't stomach it."
Retiree Jean-Pierre Roux voted to keep out Le Pen's extreme-right father, Jean-Marie, in France's 2002 presidential runoff and voted against his daughter in 2017. But Roux could not bring himself to vote for Macron again this time, saying he was too arrogant. Roux put an empty envelope in the voting box.
"I am not against his ideas but I cannot stand the person," he said.
Le Pen has sought to appeal to working class voters struggling with surging prices amid the fallout of Russia's war in Ukraine — an approach that even Macron acknowledged has found resonance in the public. She said bringing down the cost of living would be her priority if elected as France's first woman president, and she portrayed herself as the candidate for voters unable to make ends meet.
Le Pen says Macron's presidency has left the country deeply divided, pointing to yellow vest protest movement that rocked his government before the COVID-19 pandemic, with months of violent demonstrations against economic policies that some thought hurt the poorest.
Macron has sought to appeal to voters of immigrant heritage and religious minorities, especially because of Le Pen's proposed policies targeting Muslims and putting French citizens first in line for jobs and benefits.
Macron has also touted his environmental and climate accomplishments in a bid to draw in young voters popular with far-left left candidates. Many young French voters are particularly engaged with climate issues.
Although Macron was associated with the slogan "Make The Planet Great Again," in his first five-year term, he capitulated to angry yellow vest protesters by scrapping a tax hike on fuel prices. Macron has said his next prime minister would be put in charge of environmental planning as France seeks to become carbon neutral by 2050.
Le Pen, once considered a climate-change skeptic, wants to scrap subsidies for renewable energies. She has vowed to dismantle wind farms and invest in nuclear and hydro energy.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Dorothy’s refrain, “There’s no place like home,” in “The Wizard of Oz” also could be echoed by her blue and white gingham dress from the 1939 movie.
The dress, which turned up last summer at The Catholic University of America after it was missing for nearly 40 years, is about to get a new home as the university plans to sell it and use the proceeds to help establish the school’s new film acting program.
The costume, worn by Judy Garland, was given to the theater department head as a gift in 1973, but no one knew its whereabouts from the late 1980s until it was discovered during a campus theater renovation last year.
Now somewhat faded and yellowed, the dress is estimated to be worth $800,000 to $1.2 million. It will be auctioned May 24 in Los Angeles at the “Bonhams Classic Hollywood: Film and Television” sale run by the international auction house.
According to Bonhams, which estimated the monetary value of the dress, the costume is one of four blue and white pinafore dresses made for the movie and one of only two existing dresses with the original white blouse.
The Catholic University dress has been matched to a specific scene when Dorothy faced the wicked witch in her castle.
Mercedes McCambridge, a Hollywood actress and artist-in-residence at Catholic University in 1973, gave the dress to Dominican Father Gilbert Hartke, the legendary founder and head of the university’s drama department.
“Discovering this historic dress was a memorable moment for The Catholic University of America and we are proud to present it for auction, so that the next collector can own a piece of history,” said Jacqueline Leary-Warsaw, dean of the university’s Benjamin T. Rome School of Music, Drama and Art.
“While parting with this dress is bittersweet, the proceeds are going to help support future generations training for professional careers in theater. It might just be that the funding helps to prepare the next Mercedes McCambridge or Judy Garland,” she said in a statement.
Documentation indicates the dress was given to Hartke to support the school’s drama department, like what school officials said proceeds of the auction will do. The money will not only develop a new film acting program but also will endow a faculty chair.
“Important costumes from this iconic movie rarely appear on the auction market and to be able to pinpoint the scene in which this was worn by Judy Garland is thrilling,” said Helen Hall, director of popular culture at Bonhams in Los Angeles.
The other Dorothy dress with a blouse was sold by Bonhams in 2015 for over $1.5 million. Catholic University’s dress can be seen at Bonhams New York April 23-29 and at Bonhams Los Angeles May 20-24 before the May 24 sale.
The dress, long rumored to be owned by the school, showed up without much Hollywood fanfare last summer in a white trash bag stashed high in a theater department’s office.
Prior to its rediscovery, the dress had almost seemed legendary in the drama department. There were pictures of Hartke holding the dress and showing it to faculty members, but no one knew what became of it after the priest died in 1986.
Then last June, in preparation for renovation work to start on the university’s Hartke Theater, a department faculty member noticed a white trash bag above the faculty mail slots. Inside the bag was a green shoe-sized box whose contents needed no explanation for Matt Ripa.
Ripa, a lecturer and operations coordinator in the university’s drama department, took one look inside and began laughing hysterically because there was the dress he had spent years looking for in the theater’s archives and storage closets and had essentially given up hope of finding.
He is pretty sure the dress turned up because a retired drama department professor discovered it while doing some pandemic cleaning out and sorting. A note taped to the bag simply said: “I found this in my office.”
Although no one knows how McCambridge, a friend of Garland’s, came to own the dress, it doesn’t seem unusual that she gave it to Hartke.
Maria Mazzenga, curator of the university’s American Catholic History Collections, noted the priest’s flair for the unique, saying he also owned a silk jacket from India, a 6-foot-long aviator scarf and a Russian fur hat.
“People gave him clothes because they knew he would like it,” she told Catholic News Service soon after the dress was found.
The priest, a playwright and director who started the university’s theater department in 1937, also was instrumental in Washington theater efforts and civil rights advocacy. He was friends with U.S. presidents from Harry Truman to Ronald Reagan and was one of two priests called to stay with the body of President John F. Kennedy at the White House prior to his funeral.
McCambridge won an Oscar for best supporting actress in “All the King’s Men” in 1949 and was nominated for an Oscar for the 1956 film “Giant,” but she became perhaps even more well-known for being the voice of the demon child in “The Exorcist” in 1973, even though Warner Brothers failed to credit her for the role.
A 1973 article in the campus newspaper, The Tower, said she donated Garland’s dress to be a “a source of hope, strength and courage” to the students.
The writer pointed out that in a small way it also answered Garland’s expressed regret that she hadn’t gone to college and her questions if “it all could have been different” if she had.
“Judy’s fantasy has come true. A real part of her has made it to college,” the article said.
And now, that part of her — a faded dress — will likely help the school in ways she would have never dreamed. | https://cruxnow.com/cns/2022/04/catholic-university-selling-dorothy-dress-to-help-schools-drama-department | 2022-04-24T16:49:03Z | https://cruxnow.com/cns/2022/04/catholic-university-selling-dorothy-dress-to-help-schools-drama-department | true | 1 |

Tampa 11-year-old attempting 2-mile open-water swim in honor of mom
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – A Tampa 11-year-old is swimming two miles in open water to benefit a national organization committed to funding pediatric cancer research, all in honor of his mother.
Wyatt Deaton swims with the Team Tampa Elite Aquatic Manta Rays and will be attempting the open water swim to benefit “Swim Across America” on May 7 at North Shore Park in St. Petersburg.
St. Pete childhood cancer survivor bringing back lemonade stand fundraiser in-personHe’s one of the youngest swimmers in the nation to be participating in the event.
Swim Across America funds cancer research, clinical trials and patient programs through its charity swims.
It’s a cause near to Wyatt’s heart, as his mother, Michelle, was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer, called secretory carcinoma, in 2018. Previously, secretory carcinoma was called “juvenile carcinoma,” because the average age for the type of cancer was 9 years old.
Michelle was 45 when she was diagnosed. Wyatt was only 8 years old at the time, in first grade. Michelle said telling her son she had cancer was scary.
“I actually invited him to help me pick out a wig, because I told him that the medicine that I’d be taking, I’d lose my hair. And he got really upset. He did go with me,” she said. “Of course he wanted me to get crazy, long pink, crazy KISS-looking hair… but it was hard. It was hard.”
Her son knew he wanted to help other cancer patients. He was able to do so with swimming, something he said he’s been doing since he was very young.
“Well when my mom was diagnosed with cancer, I wanted to help and my mom told me that there a swimming event for people that were diagnosed with cancer and to help raise money for pediatric cancer and I was all over it,” said Wyatt.
“I think this has been a great outlet for him because when he joined the team and they talked about Swim Across America, I spoke with Wyatt about it and I told him a little bit about it with the pediatric cancer and he was all over it,” Michelle said. “He wanted to do it because it was a swimming event and that was a way for him as a child to be able to give back.”
Pinellas cancer survivors document journey to dream Bronco on social mediaThis year, Wyatt will be swimming for two full miles. He’s already preparing, even when it comes to the smallest things, at swim practice.
“[My coach], yesterday, he was teaching me how to like, if water starts seeping in to my goggles, just to turn over, open them, get the water out, close them and then continue,” he said.
Michelle, who is now in remission, said swimming has helped her son through the tough times. She admitted she is a little nervous for this swim.
“I’m very proud of him. A little scared, mama bear, but I’m very proud. Last year he did a half a mile, and when I saw the course, I was like, ‘oh my gosh!’ because it is quite intimidating. He was going to do a mile, that was the goal [but] this year, he’s decided to do two miles with the help of his coach, Brian, so I’m proud,” she said.
Wyatt’s coach, Brian Ahern, will be swimming alongside Wyatt on May 7.
“Swimming, by nature, is a very individual sport. Your successes are really based on how much work and effort that you put in on a daily basis,” Brian said. “And to see him at such a young age care so much about other people is quite a great thing to see, especially coming out of our own team.”
Early intervention important in children with autism, Tampa Bay doctor saysThough he’ll have company, Wyatt said he’s still a little nervous for such a big race.
“‘Cause you can’t see the bottom, you have to keep looking up at the buoys and I’m afraid that a shark will come up and bite me,” he said.
Wyatt is already well past his fundraising goal. He has raised over $3,000 for Swim Across America and donations are still being accepted. he has raised the most money so far for the Tampa Bay area swim.
Swim Across America is open to the public and begins at 8:20 a.m. on May 7. There will be a post-event celebration with vendors and music at 9:30 a.m.
All proceeds stay in the Tampa Bay area and benefit Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital.

Professor Samuel N. A. Cudjoe, former Director of Regional Institute for Population Studies (RIPS), University of Ghana, said women empowerment required comprehensive approach and wider stakeholder engagement to make it more effective.
He mentioned the involvement of traditional and local governance structures, capacity enhancement and advocacy as some of the means to enhance greater support for the activities for women.
Prof Cudjoe was speaking at a dissemination workshop to highlight achievements and lessons learnt from a project RIPS and its partners carried on, on “Empowering Women and Transforming Gender Relations in the Volta Delta.”
The project builds on the findings of the Delta’s vulnerability and Climate Change: Migration and Adaptation (DECCMA) study on the Volta delta area in Ghana.
He identified traditional leaders, local government agencies (MMDAs) as well as women groups and individuals as actors that need to work together to ensure greater support for empowerment of women.
The 12-month project was implemented in two districts of the Volta Region, namely, South Tongu District and the Keta Municipal Assembly.
It builds capacities of the women in the targeted districts to obtain expertise and skills in alternative livelihoods; business management and marketing; packaging and storage of agricultural products; and accessing microfinance for their businesses.
The project was carried out with a grant from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada, as part of the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) Programme.
It was led by RIPS and the Institute of Environmental and Sanitation Studies (IESS), in partnership with Pro-Link, a nongovernmental organisation promoting equitable development of rural and urban poor, especially women and girls and in collaboration with Kulima Integrated Development Solutions, based in South Africa.
Prof Cudjoe said said the overall vision of the project was to empower women and transform gender relations in the Volta delta through the integration of gender responsive climate actions into existing practices around efficient utilisation of accessible land, to address over concentration on local markets, monotony of crops grown, lack of alternative livelihood opportunities, lack of agribusiness expertise including packaging and storage as well as limited access to microfinance options.
He announced that a baseline survey conducted as part of the project revealed that women faced significant challenges in their capacity to utilise lands available to them for increased economic returns.
He said to support responsive and adaptive livelihoods with the overall vision to empower women in the Volta Delta, through capacity building for the efficient use of lands, a needs assessment was conducted to identify the capacity needs of women to efficiently utilise their lands.”
“Financing remains a major challenge to women’s group due to their informal nature, formalising these groups by registering them as cooperatives with the MMDAs would increase their credibility for financial access in the future,” he added.
Ms Bernice Mpere Gyekye, an official from Pro-Link, said they had identified key stakeholders who had shown interest in the project and had greatly supported their activities on the ground and expressed their Gratitude’s for the gestures.
The participants emphasised the need to link the women groups to the local actors and the district assemblies to patronise their products as well as accessing financial assistant, while they look elsewhere for international donor support.
They are also of the view that it was about time that a study was conducted into problems facing men in the coastal communities and come out with a solution that will put both women and men at the Volta delta on same levels.
Some of the problems identified include erosion of landing sites, competition with pet trawlers, light fishing, among others.
According to them, the problems had forced most fishers to migrate, and others have changed jobs from fishing to ‘trotro’ drivers to adapt to climate change’s effect on their livelihood. | https://newsghana.com.gh/professor-cudjoe-women-empowerment-requires-comprehensive-approach/ | 2022-04-24T16:51:18Z | https://newsghana.com.gh/professor-cudjoe-women-empowerment-requires-comprehensive-approach/ | false | 2 |
LAKE RONKONKOMA, N.Y. (AP) — A woman is facing charges on Long Island for allegedly stealing a car and running over its driver as she attempted to flee.
According to Suffolk County police, the incident occurred Saturday evening in Lake Ronkonkoma after Lorraine Lombardo parked her 2013 Chevrolet Spark in a church parking lot near some clothing bins and left the motor running.
That's when Doreen Dunbar allegedly approached the car and jumped in. As the 73-year-old Lombardo opened the driver's door and tried to grab the steering wheel, Dunbar accelerated in reverse, knocking Lombardo down and running over her legs, according to police.
Dunbar crashed the car and fled on foot and was captured nearby. The 50-year-old, who police said is homeless, was charged with assault and robbery.
Lombardo was taken to Stony Book University Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, police said. Dunbar was taken to the same hospital for evaluation.
Suffolk County police didn't have information on whether Dunbar had retained an attorney who could comment on the charges. A message was left with the county district attorney's office. | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Police-Woman-stole-car-ran-over-driver-while-17123029.php | 2022-04-24T16:55:57Z | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Police-Woman-stole-car-ran-over-driver-while-17123029.php | true | 11 |

The pandemic put paid to the English patron saint’s ceremonials in both 2020 and ’21 – but with normality returning and a Queen’s platinum jubilee looming, participants and onlookers made up for lost time as the sun shone.
At least 300 representatives of uniformed organisations, plus marching bands took part in the event which began at Wigan Parish Church at 11am on Sunday April 24.
A procession went around the streets, with dignitataries including the Mayor of Wigan, Coun Yvonne Klieve, taking the salute on Standishgate, and ended with a servce at the church.

HILDALE, Utah (AP) — Marion Timpson’s own marriages reflect Utah’s recent legal battles over polygamy.
“I married Holly in 2005 and Katie in 2013, and I married Lisa in 2014,” the polygamist told FOX 13 News, referring to his wives.
One of his marriages took place shortly after a federal judge struck down Utah’s anti-polygamy laws. Reality TV polygamist Kody Brown and his wives sued the state and won, effectively decriminalizing plural marriage as a religious belief. Then a federal appeals court reinstated the bigamy law and the Utah Legislature passed a law that re-criminalized bigamy.
For Timpson and his family, the shift again was too much.
“Eighteen months later, when the politics changed again, on that ruling, she (Holly) said ‘Let’s get out. We’re leaving Utah,’” he recalled in an interview with FOX 13 News.
The Timpsons moved from the Salt Lake City area down to Colorado City, Arizona.
In 2020, the Utah Legislature passed a law to decriminalize polygamy, reducing bigamy among consenting adults from a third-degree felony, punishable by prison time, to an infraction on par with a speeding ticket.
“That’s for consenting adults,” said Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson, who sponsored the bill when she served in the Utah Senate. “Anyone who still commits bigamy, the traditional sense of bigamy where they’re married to someone and they go fraudulently marry someone else, that’s a third-degree felony. Or if they try to coerce someone into purporting to marry them? That’s also a third-degree felony. We also kept a second-degree felony for anyone who engages in bigamy and also commits other crime like fraud or sexual abuse, things like that.”
Henderson argued that it was time the state try something different to reach people within closed, polygamous societies to get them to report any crimes.
“Bigamy had been a felony in Utah since 1935 and it clearly didn’t do what the law, I think, or the people who put that law intended it for it do. It didn’t stop people from engaging in polygamy. It ended up driving people underground, created a wall of secrecy surrounding some communities,” she said.
The change in approach was significant, given Utah’s long history with polygamy. Plural marriage has been woven into the fabric of Utah. Mormon pioneers settled here after being driven out of other states in part because of their beliefs in plural marriage. In order to get statehood, Utah had to prohibit polygamy. It's in the state constitution. Polygamists were imprisoned.
In 1953, authorities raided “Short Creek" — the name for the border towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Arizona — and split apart families, putting polygamists in jail. In the early 2000s, the state of Utah launched a number of prosecutions of people for abuses within polygamy. In some cases, prosecutors tacked on a bigamy charge.
But in those prosecutions, cooperation was always difficult — even if the state was trying to combat horrific abuses. Sister-wives refused to testify against their husbands and others in the community refused to help. Henderson said her goal was to open up the closed societies to report abuses by bringing polygamy out into the open, without fear of criminal charges for everyone just for living a religious belief.
“We had a serious human rights crisis that needed to be addressed,” she said. “So that’s what my legislation in 2020 was meant to do.”
The legislation personally benefited Alina Darger, a plural wife who is the executive director of Cherish Families, a nonprofit based in Hildale and Colorado City. She advocated on Utah’s Capitol Hill in support of the bill.
“People can come forward and say ‘I’m part of the state of Utah. I’m part of this society. I have a proud heritage, too. I belong,‘” she said.
Cherish Families runs a food pantry, offers parenting and healthy relationship classes, mental health support and other services for people in plural families.
“We have no opinion about their religion or their families, that we were here to serve them and help them make their own decisions,” said Shirlee Draper, Cherish Families’ operations director. “That was really based on experiences we all had, experiences I had trying to leave the FLDS.”
The Fundamentalist LDS Church, one of Utah’s largest polygamous groups, was based in Hildale and Colorado City. Its leader, Warren Jeffs, is serving a life sentence in a Texas prison for child sex assault related to underage marriages. Since Jeffs’ imprisonment, and as a result of a number of other cultural and political shifts, the communities have dramatically changed. People who live in the communities say it is more open now than ever before.
Darger said part of that is because of the change in Utah’s anti-polygamy laws which has led to many in plural families to open up about their lives. She said people are stepping forward to report abuses.
“We’re absolutely seeing it and we’re absolutely seeing it come top down in different groups,” Darger said.
Cherish Families said in 2020, it provided assistance to 1,126 people and offered 24,951 services. In 2021, the number rose to 1,356 people and 46,083 services.
Tonia Tewell, the executive director of Holding Out Help, said she has also seen an increase in abuse reports. But Tewell said she does not believe it is because of the law change.
“We’ve had a 25% increase, our abuse rate is up to 95% and not a single of those clients have said we’ve landed here because the law has changed,” she told FOX 13 News. “I hope I am wrong and this is really going to do what everybody is saying it’s going to be doing. But I don’t think it has. I don’t think it’s accomplished what the state hoped.”
Tewell, who testified against the decriminalization bill, said she fears abusers within polygamous communities have become emboldened because there is no longer the threat of felony charges against them. She argued the state has yet to address the “root problems” within polygamous communities.
“Pedophiles are still pedophiles. Abusers are still abusers. And traffickers are still trafficking clients and until that systemic issue has been dealt with, we’re still perpetuating the problem,” she said.
Holding Out Help said it served 167 clients in 2020. That number climbed to 203 in 2021, with more coming in. The group recently opened another shelter in the Draper area to meet growing demand for services.
But asked if polygamy should be re-criminalized, Tewell said she was not so sure.
“I really don’t know either way. All I know is we’re not really dealing with the core issue. A lot of the people living in these communities are my friends and for me to go and say i want them to be felons doesn’t feel right, either,” she said. “I can’t say one way or another. I don’t know if I’m right when I was going up against it on Capitol Hill. I just know what my clients were saying and I had to be the voice for them.”
Lt. Gov. Henderson said the fact that more people were reporting abuses spoke to the decriminalization effort working.
“I think any increase in reporting, any increase in services that are requested, points to the success of the law not to its failure,” she told FOX 13 News.
While the bill was designed to address crimes within closed societies, there has also been a larger cultural shift in polygamous communities. Where there was once a fear that if you spoke too much about your families you would invite police and prosecutors cracking down, now there is more of a freedom to speak openly.
“We don’t have the same worries we did a few years ago. Really, and truly, you can be more honest about your lifestyle,” said Ruth Williams, a plural wife in Centennial Park, Ariz. “There’s a lot of work to be done. We have a long ways to go.”
Williams is a member of the Centennial Park Action Committee, a group of plural wives who pushed for decriminalization and challenged prosecutors who sought to stigmatize polygamists. Marlyne Hammon, another member of the group, said they spoke out when Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff began addressing abuses within polygamous communities but failed to include plural families.
“We ladies said ‘That’s enough of that. We’ve got to stand up and speak for ourselves,‘” she said.
Hammon, who grew up in the 1953 raid, said she has also observed a change in how others view people who live polygamy. She said many had to fight for it.
“I feel a more openness and a friendliness and an ability to interact with people without that hanging over, like they used to look at polygamists,” Hammon told FOX 13 News.
But there are still some fears that Utah could change course again when it comes to the politics surrounding polygamy.
“I did have a lot of people in the community saying ‘Let’s hold off. Don’t say who you are, don’t post your family pictures,’” Darger said.
Timpson said he has been open about his family, posting photos on social media. He has observed co-workers change their opinions of his lifestyle and now defending his family.
“As soon as you get rid of the pressures to close down a polygamous society and open it up?” he said. “Remove those pressures, then you can acutely prosecute those issues that then remove the stigma.”
But Draper cautioned it will not happen immediately.
“I can personally see a lot more people coming out and a lot more people reporting crimes,” she said. “But it’s going to take some time to undo some of the harms. It’s going to take a generation.” | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/After-Utah-decriminalized-polygamy-some-see-a-17122999.php | 2022-04-24T17:20:54Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/After-Utah-decriminalized-polygamy-some-see-a-17122999.php | true | 16 |

It's not a platitude, just a fact: A parent never stops parenting.
"From the cradle to the grave," Mike Pettine Sr. says, nodding his head matter-of-factly.
But then he's asked if a coach ever stops coaching. He pauses. He thinks about the three teenagers he once coached who are now coaches themselves -- with the NFL's Cleveland Browns, no less -- and he protests, "These are all grown men." And then he falls silent.
Because the hours he logs on his Browns-issued "ePad" (as he accidentally first called it), the painstaking way he takes one finger and hunts-and-pecks his way toward lengthy email (or, as his son teases him, "i-mail") missives and the earnestness with which he argues over where Cleveland's cornerbacks line up -- all of it defines "coach." One who teaches and trains. One who attempts to guide his charges to success. One whose goal is to win.
"Oh, it's so much worse to watch them lose than it ever was for me to lose," Pettine Sr. says. And then, by way of explanation: "That's my son."
Mike Pettine Jr. is the second-year head coach of the Cleveland Browns, a team coming off a 7-9 campaign that managed to be both disappointing (the Browns lost their last five games) and surprising (they won at least seven games just three times in the previous 15 years). He's built an impressive defense. He's soldiered through the quarterback drama that seems to rise annually out of Lake Erie (Josh McCown is in line to become the fourth starter of Pettine's tenure). And he's done it all while his father has played unofficial consultant to his staff -- unofficial, unpaid, unsolicited and occasionally, Pettine Sr. says, unappreciated.
"Sometimes," the elder Pettine says, "it feels like I'm sending things into a black hole. Stuff goes in; not much comes out."
With apologies to native daughter Alecia Moore (a.k.a. Pink), Pettine Sr. is the most revered human in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. In 33 years as head coach of Central Bucks High School West, he won 326 games, four state titles and a slew of "mythical" championships, captured in the era before statewide playoffs were initiated. In three separate decades, he coached Chuck Driesbach, Pettine Jr. and Jim O'Neil. All are on the Browns staff now, connected by the taskmaster who drives eight hours to each of Cleveland's home games and plenty of practices and can't keep himself from evaluating film -- or arguing about the way their linebackers set the edge.
"You've seen them against the run, haven't you?" Pettine Sr. asks a visitor.
"It drives him nuts," says O'Neil, the Browns' defensive coordinator.
Pettine Sr. first started sending breakdowns to his son a decade or so ago, a few years after Pettine Jr. quit building boats and selling insurance, and after he left the high school coaching ranks for a job with the Baltimore Ravens' video department. Pettine Jr. eventually moved up to outside linebackers coach, and his father -- knowing his son had then-defensive coordinator Rex Ryan's ear -- began writing him.
It's an obvious passing situation; get your defensive linemen crowding the ball more. Your corners are giving up inside releases too early. What's with the tackling? Are you doing any tackling drills?
"I told him, 'I'm going to give you Rex's email, and then you can just copy both of us on it,' " Pettine Jr. says, swearing that Ryan -- the son of an old-school, hard-nosed coach himself -- enjoyed the critiques.
"It was always just a whole laundry list, because he wants things to be perfect. Some of the things he saw were confirmation for things we saw, as well. Some instances, he pointed something out that we hadn't picked out. So it was always welcomed."
When he's told later that this is what his only son said, Pettine Sr. keeps his trademark straight face and asks, "Well, then, why doesn't he listen to me more?" | https://www.nfl.com/news/sidelines/family-business | 2022-04-24T17:23:31Z | https://www.nfl.com/news/sidelines/family-business | true | 1 |

Can Dogs Eat Bananas? Experts Weigh in on Whether This Fruit Is Healthy for Pups
If you’ve ever fed your dog table food, you might be wondering what foods are safe to give to your pet and which ones aren’t. One food category that’s usually in question is fruit—particularly, bananas. Since most fruits are nutritious but also high in sugar, many pet owners may wonder—and rightfully so. After all, we want the best for our fur babies!
While it’s technically something you can ask AI (hey, Alexa, can dogs eat this?), we highly recommend asking a professional. That’s why Parade consulted veterinarian and founder of Ultimate Pet Nutrition, Dr. Gary Richter and Dr. Sara Ochoa, DVM and veterinary consultant for DogLab.com.
“Bananas are loaded with fiber, vitamin B6, and copper,” Dr. Richter explains. “They are also a great source of potassium which can help your dog’s heart and kidney health.”
So, can dogs eat bananas? How often and how should you feed it to them? Keep reading for more vet-approved information on feeding dogs bananas.
Can dogs eat bananas?
As Dr. Richter suggested above, dogs can, in fact, eat bananas. This fruit—which is also known as a significant source of potassium—is generally safe to feed to pets because they are high in many different kinds of vitamins, including the aforementioned fiber, vitamin B6, copper, and potassium. But bananas are also high in magnesium and biotin, too, which also makes them a nutritious choice of food for pets.
“Yes, your dog can safely eat bananas,” Dr. Ochoa says. “This is actually my Japanese Chin Bug’s favorite fruit to eat.”
In fact, dogs can even eat freeze-dried bananas. Just take it from Dr. Ochoa—who even feeds this snack to her own dog!
“My dog also loves freeze-dried bananas,” Dr. Ochoa adds. “These are also safe for your dog as long as there is not any added sugars to these fruits.”
Related: Why Do Dogs Eat Poop?
How frequently should owners feed their dogs bananas?
Of course, like most fruit, bananas are naturally high in sugar. In fact, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database, a medium-sized banana has 105 calories and 14 grams of sugar.
“It’s true that bananas do have a lot of sugar and are about 100 calories per banana,” Dr. Richter explains. “Depending on the size of your pup, feeding them too many bananas could cause weight gain and while they are a great source of fiber, too much fiber could cause digestive problems.”
Because of the high sugar content, it’s worth noting that bananas should be looked at as a rare treat for dogs rather than a daily staple.
“Since bananas can be high in sugar it’s important to regulate the amount you give them,” Dr. Richter says. “It can be a fun treat every once in a while, but giving them one every day can cause weight gain.”
Dr. Ochoa adds that a full banana is probably too much to feed your pup all at once.
“I advise only giving your dog a few slices each time,” Dr. Ochoa says.
How to cut up a banana for dogs to eat
As mentioned prior, it’s best to limit the number of bananas you feed your dog to once or twice a week. Plus, if your dog is a smaller size, you’ll want to only feed them a few slices rather than the whole banana.
“Start by giving your dog small bite-size pieces, then monitor them for a few hours to ensure they don’t have any tummy upset,” Dr. Richter explains. “If your dog seems to enjoy them, you can smash a banana into your dog’s food, freeze little bites for an added crunch, or even give them banana chips.”
And remember—don’t forget to remove the peel before feeding your pet!
“Always be sure to peel the banana before giving it to your dog as the peel can cause stomach issues,” Dr. Richter adds.

Does banana give dogs diarrhea?
Another reason to limit the number of bananas you feed your dog is the fact that too much banana can cause stomach upset, which may lead to symptoms like diarrhea.
Why’s that? Well, bananas are high in fiber—about three grams of fiber per banana—and too much of that can have the reverse effect. Typically, fiber eases the digestive process, but when fed too much of it—especially in dogs—it can cause loose stools.

Which dogs should avoid bananas?
While bananas are generally a healthy—albeit occasional—treat for dogs, certain dogs that may have health issues or predispositions should not have bananas too frequently.
“If your dog has diabetes, it is best to avoid all fruits as they contain natural sugars that can cause your dog’s blood sugar levels to become high,” Dr. Ochoa explains.
That being said, you will also want to feed your dog the appropriate amount of bananas (in one sitting) based on their size, too.
Dr. Ochoa adds, “Small dogs will only need a few bite-sized pieces where larger dogs can easily tolerate a whole banana in one feeding.”

Star Awards 2022: A night of surprises for Chen Hanwei, Huang Biren and Brandon Wong
The three veterans did not expect to win this big or at all at the awards.
The Star Awards took place at The Theatre at Mediacorp on Sunday (Apr 24) with the theme “When the stars align, dreams come true”.
And what an evening of surprises it was for the nominees, especially for Brandon Wong, who managed to earn the accolades of both hero and villain in a single night. The 50-year-old was officially named the Most Hated Villain earlier on in the awards show as part of the new My Pick! Awards.
But as the night progressed and the Top 10 Most Popular Male list was being filled up, Wong's name was unexpectedly announced for the 10th spot – he had waited 27 years to win his first Top 10 award.
An ecstatic audience cheered as an emotional Wong accepted his award. "I’m worried that I have to wait for another 27 years for another prize," he said, wiping away tears.
Sweeping the awards this year was My Star Bride, which took home Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress for mother-and-daughter pair Lin Meijiao and Chantalle Ng respectively. It also won Best Drama Serial and Best Theme Song.
"My name was the last to be called and I was very nervous," recounted Ng. "(My mum) and (actor Zhu) Hou Ren held my hand and gave me strength.
"I really want to congratulate my mum. I was more moved than if I had gotten an award. I really love her and feel so proud of her. I believe she’s also proud of me," she said of her mother's win.
HOST WITH THE MOST... SKILLS
And while there wasn't slapgate like at the Oscars, it was still stressful for host Chen Hanwei. "I was so very nervous and suddenly my voice went hoarse," he said. "It’s my first year, so I have gotten more attention but I think if I do it next year, no one will pay attention."
In addition to working with overseas guest emcees, Chen also designed the outfit for MediaCorp's resident hunkle Zheng Geping. But the feather that capped his hat has got to be the Best Actor award he took home.
"I really wanted new actors to win," said Chen. "I wanted to stand on stage and hand the award to someone young. When I got the award, I wasn’t unhappy; I just wondered why the newer actors didn’t have the same luck."
TIGER MUM WINS BIG
Best Actress awardee Huang Biren was just as surprised by her win. "I bought many, many mirrors," she said of the preparation she did for her winning role in Recipe Of Life. "When I read the script and had the feel, I'd say my lines to the mirror to see if I could meet my own standards."
As for her next project? "I’m usually at home with my kids, keeping an eye on their schoolwork. I only take on roles that I like and if my schedule permits. If I take a project, it’s because I like it.
"I remember my teacher telling me that acting is like life. Think about what your co-star is saying and react. When you experience something, save it up in your heart. You might be able to use it in a future role."
GETTING TECH-Y
This year's Star Awards certainly had some high-tech features such as an AI-assisted robot that delivered trophies to the winners and special virtual appearances by Asian stars including Aaron Kwok, Carol Cheng, Jacky Wu and Moses Chan, who were beamed in as life-sized, three-dimensional holograms.

Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital offering free breast health screenings
ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - Sentara Martha Jefferson and the Women’s Committee are teaming up to save many women’s lives.
The groups are offering free breast health screenings to women without insurance. On Saturday, April 23, 50 individuals were registered. It’s an opportunity to get a mammogram and potentially catch any chance of breast cancer.
Staff with the Women’s Initiative say this event is especially important as many women have missed their mammogram appointments during the pandemic.
Typically there are only two sessions, though this year there will be four dates for the event, thanks to money raised at Martha’s Market and the “In The Pink” tennis tournament in the fall.
“We have women who have never had a mammogram come in, and it’s for women that don’t have insurance or otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford one,” Meg Franco with the Women’s Committee said. “So this is life changing for a lot of women and we see the same faces every year, which is a great feeling.”
The event will happen again July 23, and then again October 22 and December 10. It takes place at SMJH’s Outpatient Care Center. To register you can call 1-800- SENTARA or go to SMJH’s events page.

‘Cruel Summer’: Season 2 Of Freeform Drama Introduces Fresh Mystery, New Cast & Third Showrunner
Click here to read the full article.
Cruel Summer is returning to Freeform as an anthology series.
The second season will feature a whole new cast, a new mystery and the show’s third showrunner.
Set in an idyllic waterfront town in the Pacific Northwest, the second chapter follows the rise and fall of an intense teenage friendship. Approaching the story from three different timelines surrounding Y2K, the season twists and turns as it tracks the early friendship between Megan, Isabella and Megan’s best friend Luke, the love triangle that blossomed, and the mystery that would impact all of their lives going forward.
Sadie Stanley, Eloise Payet, Griffin Gluck and KaDee Strickland, Lisa Yamada and Sean Blakemore are among the stars. Paul Adelstein recurs.
Power Book IV: Force co-exec producer Elle Triedman replaces Tia Napolitano as showrunner. Napolitano replaced creator Bert V. Royal after disagreements with the network.
The series comes from studio eOne. Executive producers include Triedman, Bill Purple, Napolitano, and Iron Ocean Productions’ Jessica Biel and Michelle Purple
The first season followed two young women: Kate Wallis, the popular girl with a charmed life who one day goes missing, and Jeanette Turner, the nerdy wannabe who is accused of being connected to Kate’s disappearance.

Under the newly introduced Police Emergency Medical Intervention Fund (PEMIF), an injured Police Chief Inspector has been provided with a new prosthetic leg to aid his mobility.
Chief Inspector Mac-Victor Anako became the first beneficiary under the new GHc6.1million fund when he was flown to Germany for the prosthetic leg.
Chief Inspector Mac-Victor Anako was shot by armed robbers in May 2007 during an anti-robbery operation at Nsawam.
He sustained a gunshot wound to his left thigh leading to the amputation of his leg.
In 2010, the Chief Inspector underwent some surgical procedures but suffered some complications necessitating further medical attention.
PEMIF
The PEMIF is an initiative of the Police Administration aimed at providing financial assistance for the medical care of Police officers who get injured in the line of duty.
The Fund was approved and launched in January 2022 by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo who made a personal donation at the launch to support it.
After the introduction of the PEMIF, Chief Inspector Mac-Victor Anako was flown to Hamburg, Germany to fix a new prosthetic leg to aid his mobility.
He was accompanied on the trip by his wife to give him the needed support.
The total cost of the trip and treatment were fully paid for by the Police Administration from the PEMIF.
The Chief Inspector returned to Ghana on March 30, 2022, with his wife by his side, wearing his new prosthetic leg and could be seen walking with ease. | https://ghanaguardian.com/injured-police-chief-inspector-provided-with-prosthetic-leg-under-new-police-fund | 2022-04-24T17:49:56Z | https://ghanaguardian.com/injured-police-chief-inspector-provided-with-prosthetic-leg-under-new-police-fund | false | 2 |

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia — Exit polls in Slovenia's parliamentary vote Sunday suggested a strong lead for the opposition liberals over the ruling right-wing populists of Prime Minister Janez Jansa.
The polls conducted by the Mediana polling agency and published by public broadcaster TV Slovenia and commercial Pop TV showed the opposition Freedom Movement winning 35.8% support compared with the ruling conservative Slovenian Democratic Party with 22.5%.
Trailing behind the top two contenders were New Slovenia party with 6.8%, followed by Social Democrats with 6.6% and the Left party with 4.4%.
If confirmed in an official tally, the result means that the Freedom Movement, a newcomer in the election, stands a better chance of forming the next government in a coalition with smaller center-left groups — a blow to Jansa, a populist who was accused of pushing the country to the right while in power.
The vote provoked higher than usual turnout, reflecting strong voter interest in the race in the politically divided European Union nation.
Nearly 50% of Slovenia's 1.7 million voters had cast ballots by mid-afternoon, according to state election authorities — up some 15% compared with the previous election in 2018.
Surveys before the vote predicted that no single party will be able to form a government on its own and that a coalition government will have to be formed after the vote, made up of at least three or four parties.
It still remained unclear which smaller groups will pass the 4% threshold and what the final distribution of parliamentary seats will look like. Election authorities also must add the early votes to the tally.
"Today is an important day as these elections decide how Slovenia will develop not only in the next four years, but in the next decade," Jansa said as he voted on Sunday. "Expectations are good."
Jansa became prime minister a little over two years ago after the previous liberal premier resigned. An admirer of former U.S. President Donald Trump, Jansa has pushed the country to the right since taking over at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The main challenger Sunday was U.S.-educated former business executive Robert Golob who heads the Freedom Movement party. The party has advocated green energy transition and sustainable development over Jansa's nation-centered narrative.
Jansa's SDS won the most votes in an election four years ago, but couldn't initially find partners for a coalition government. He took over after lawmakers from centrist and left-leaning groups switched sides following the resignation in 2020 of liberal Prime Minister Marjan Sarec.
Jansa has since faced accusations of sliding toward authoritarian rule in the style of his ally, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Jansa came under EU scrutiny amid reports that he pressured opponents and public media, and installed loyalists in key positions for control over state institutions.
Liberals have described Sunday's election as a referendum on Slovenia's future. They argue that Jansa, if reelected, would push the traditionally moderate nation further away from "core" EU democratic values and toward other populist regimes.
The Freedom House democracy watchdog recently said that "while political rights and civil liberties are generally respected (in Slovenia), the current right-wing government has continued attempts to undermine the rule of law and democratic institutions, including the media and judiciary."
The 63-year-old political veteran Jansa has denied this, portraying himself as a victim of an elaborate leftist smear plot. In order to polish his image before the election, Jansa has distanced himself from Orban and adopted a tough stance toward Russia over the invasion of Ukraine. | https://m.startribune.com/exit-polls-show-opposition-ahead-in-slovenian-election/600167489/ | 2022-04-24T17:52:10Z | https://m.startribune.com/exit-polls-show-opposition-ahead-in-slovenian-election/600167489/ | false | 15 |
Rudiger tells Chelsea he will leave at end of season
LONDON (AP) — Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel says Antonio Rudiger has told the club he will be leaving at the end of the season. Tuchel says “he informed me some days ago in a personal talk.” Rudiger’s contract is due to expire at the end of the season. Chelsea is currently unable to offer new contracts to players following sanctions placed upon the club’s Russian owner, Roman Abramovich, by the British government because of the war in Ukraine. Chelsea is currently operating under a special license as it looks to conclude a sale.

Chennai: A 28-year-old woman was found lying unconscious with bleeding injuries and burns along with her 10-month-old child at her house in Nanganallur on Sunday. Police have launched a hunt for her absconding husband who is suspected to have attempted to murder her.
The victim Vinitha, wife of the suspect Kamalakannan, and resident of Thillai Ganga Nagar have been admitted to the Government Royapettah Hospital for treatment, said police.
The incident came to light when the Kamalakannan's employer, a flour mill owner, came in search of him since he did not turn up for work on Sunday. He was shocked to find Vinitha in a pool of blood while her 10-month-old child was crawling next to her.
He immediately alerted the police and a team from Adambakkam station rushed to the spot.
Vinitha was sent to the Government Royapettah Hospital for treatment.
Police said that the woman has cut injuries on her neck and had been hit with a liquor bottle on her head. The suspect has also tried to set her ablaze since there were burns on her thigh.
Since Vinitha's husband has been missing, police suspect that he could have been the person behind the crime. A hunt has been launched for him. The child did not have any injuries, said police. | https://www.dtnext.in/city/2022/04/24/woman-found-lying-unconscious-with-child-in-nanganallur | 2022-04-24T18:07:16Z | https://www.dtnext.in/city/2022/04/24/woman-found-lying-unconscious-with-child-in-nanganallur | false | 1 |

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A congregation in Mississippi's capital city is developing a complex to provide affordable housing and health care for older residents.
Pearl Street AME Church plans to tear down the old Jackson Southwest Hotel and improve the area along U.S. Highway 80 in Jackson, WAPT-TV reported. Pastor Samuel Boyd said Pearl Senior Living Community will be built on the site.
“To give them a safe haven,” Boyd said. “So many ... have fallen through the cracks.”
The church is teaming up with Jackson-Hinds Comprehensive Health to put a clinic at the complex. The project is funded by low-income tax credits.
The community will have 74 apartments, and Boyd hopes the project will revitalize the area. Crews have started working, and construction is estimated to take about two years. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Jackson-development-will-have-senior-housing-17123134.php | 2022-04-24T18:17:45Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Jackson-development-will-have-senior-housing-17123134.php | true | null |

The Dallas Cowboys (8-6) kept their paper-thin playoff hopes alive on Sunday night, riding a controversial MacGyverish first-down decision to a 20-17 victory over the Oakland Raiders (6-8) on Sunday Night Football in Week 15. Here's what we learned:
- Life's this game of inches, so is football, Al Pacino once said in a fictionalized halftime speech. Try millimeters, Tony D'Amato. Two crazy close calls turned the tide of this wild prime-time thriller and effectively ended the Oakland Raiders' season.
First, the notecard. Tied at 17 with five minutes left, Dallas went for it on fourth-and-one from its own 39, only for Dak Prescott to apparently be stopped short of the line to gain. Upon further review, the ball was re-measured, but it was still to close to call by the naked eye. Referee Gene Steratore proceeded to break the tie by unleashing a folded index card to "reaffirm" that the ball reached the first-down marker. It did. Apparently. Three plays later, Dallas was in Oakland's red zone, and the Cowboys took the lead with a 19-yard Dan Bailey field goal.
On Oakland's ensuing drive, the Raiders found themselves inside Dallas' 10 with just 30 seconds to go. Gunning for six, on third down, Derek Carr rolled out to his right and dove for the pylon. Still in bounds, Carr was forced by Jeff Heath toward the sideline as he stretched out, but the ball dislodged, sailing inside the pylon and through the end zone. The ruling was the dreaded fumble-through-the-end-zone touchback. Ball and game, Cowboys.
The ending to Sunday Night Football called into question the arbitrary and illogical nature of parts of the NFL rule book. On a day when the inconsistent Catch Rule reared its ugly head once again, Sunday's finale proved that, along with questionable calls, the rule book should go under review this offseason.
- With the close win, Dallas remains very much alive in the NFC wild-card race. At 8-6, the Cowboys are one of four teams in the conference with eight wins. If the Atlanta Falcons (8-5) somehow lose Monday night to Tampa Bay, there will be a four-way tie at 8-6 for the sixth seed between Atlanta, Dallas, Detroit and Seattle. Of those four clubs, the Cowboys and Seahawks are the only two to play each other in a Week 16 do-or-die game at AT&T Stadium.
Adding to the intrigue of next week's bout will be the return of Ezekiel Elliott from his six-game suspension/vacation to a Cowboys offense that has kept things afloat in Big D. Alfred Morris (61 yards) and Rod Smith (34 total yards) looked to have tired out Sunday after shouldering the load in Zeke's stead for a third of the season, so Elliott's return will be a welcome one. Whether his essential left tackle Tyron Smith will be available, after exiting the win with an ankle injury, will be something to monitor this week.
- When Derek Carr tossed his first of two touchdown passes Sunday night and became only the fifth player ever to throw 100 TDs in his first four seasons, it was less a celebration of Carr's ascendancy and more a reminder of what could have been this season for the Raiders' franchise quarterback. Carr made few errors in Oakland's season-sealing loss, save for the unfortunate goal-line fumble, throwing two scores to Michael Crabtree and taking zero sacks, but he couldn't capitalize on any risks either. Carr averaged 4.5 yards per attempt against the Cowboys and saw most of his deep attempts to Crabtree and Co. snuffed out by Dallas' rookie cornerbacks. Oakland's largest gain on the night came when Carr heaved a fourth-and-10 prayer to Crabtree on the final march, who drew a 55-yard pass-interference penalty. Sure, Carr hasn't had all of his weapons this season -- Amari Cooper was inactive yet again on Sunday -- but the QB's regression to the mean following his MVP campaign and devastating leg injury in 2016 can't be blamed on his surrounding talent alone.
- Oakland's cooked. Mathematically, the 6-8 Raiders are still alive in the AFC and the AFC West. But for Oakland to even get to a tiebreaker with the Chiefs and Chargers, or any of the wild-card hopefuls, the Raiders would need to march next week into Philadelphia, the NFC's top team, which is still looking to clinch home-field advantage, and then follow that up with a Week 17 win over the Chargers in Black Hole-friendly Carson. And that's all before Kansas City and Los Angeles lose out, and Oakland gets help from teams around the league.
- It's been a quiet year for Khalil Mack, considering how lauded and dominant the start of his career was, but the Raiders' defensive captain on Sunday reminded the nation why he has earned such praise. Mack tallied two sacks on Sunday -- his fifth consecutive game with a QB takedown, the longest streak in the league -- and raised his sack total to 10.5. More impressive, this showing came against Smith and La'el Collins, arguably the NFL's top tackle duo. Bruce Irvin had a night too, beating the All-Pro Smith to force a Prescott pick in the second half. | https://www.nfl.com/news/cowboys-edge-raiders-keep-nfc-playoff-hopes-alive-0ap3000000895021 | 2022-04-24T18:20:07Z | https://www.nfl.com/news/cowboys-edge-raiders-keep-nfc-playoff-hopes-alive-0ap3000000895021 | false | 1 |

AYESHA RASCOE, HOST:
Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, says he will meet today in Kyiv with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. The two would be the highest-ranking U.S. officials to visit Ukraine since the start of Russia's invasion. The visit comes just days after the Biden administration unveiled another $800 million in military aid for Ukraine. NPR's Franco Ordoñez is in Kyiv and joins us now.
Franco, thank you for being with us.
FRANCO ORDOÑEZ, BYLINE: Thanks, Ayesha.
RASCOE: So what can you tell us about this trip?
ORDOÑEZ: You know, I'll just note that Biden administration is keeping pretty much a tight lid on this so far, likely for security reasons. At this point, they're still not commenting, but if this visit does happen, it would be very significant. As you mentioned, they would be the highest-ranking officials to come here. And they're expected to discuss the $800 million package, which is intended to provide more heavy weapons, including howitzers and drones. The trip, though, will also likely be seen as a trial run for President Biden to eventually visit. Here's Zelenskyy at a press conference yesterday talking about that.
(SOUNDBITE OF PRESS CONFERENCE)
PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY: (Through interpreter) We're waiting for the security situation to allow Mr. Biden to come as well, just to support Ukrainian people. We will have this conversation, and we'll talk about that armament list that we need.
ORDOÑEZ: You know, there is increasing pressure on Biden to visit. The British prime minister, Boris Johnson, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and others have visited in recent weeks, and there are calls for Biden to do the same. But so far, the White House says there are no plans for that kind of visit.
RASCOE: Zelenskyy also talked about Ukraine's relationship with the United States. Like, what did he say about that?
ORDOÑEZ: Yeah, he did. He says Ukraine wants more weapons, and they're being given, but that right now, the best military support they're receiving comes from the United States and from Britain. He says U.S. weapons have been crucial to their defense of the country, and he adds that the influence (ph) on other European nations to do more is also very key.
(SOUNDBITE OF PRESS CONFERENCE)
ZELENSKYY: (Through interpreter) USA are the leaders. This is the country who is the leader, and they set the tone. They actually set the tone for early (ph) negotiation, and they set the tone for this dynamics of support. And they affect, quite often, if any European country can provide armament - they actually can change the situation. This is a very important strategic partner, and I do believe in the strategic partnership.
ORDOÑEZ: You know, Zelenskyy was very thankful for U.S. support, and he mentioned the bipartisan support he has as well. He said he just needs the weapons to arrive faster for him to save more lives.
RASCOE: So what more did we learn from Zelenskyy's press conference?
ORDOÑEZ: Well, it was a two-hour press conference that touched on several issues. He addressed his willingness to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin while at the same time investigating him and other Moscow leaders for war crimes. He said he would do anything he can to save Ukrainian lives, but he was also clear that Russian leaders will be brought to justice. He said it may take years. He said it may even be up to the next generations of Ukrainians to complete the job. But he said he was confident that they will be held accountable.
RASCOE: And what do we know this morning about the fighting going on there in Ukraine?
ORDOÑEZ: Yeah. There were new strikes yesterday on the port city of Odesa. Ukrainian officials say at least eight people were killed, including a 3-month-old child. Zelenskyy yesterday got, you know, pretty emotional speaking about that child - a young girl - even asking, what did she do to threaten Russia?
(SOUNDBITE OF PRESS CONFERENCE)
ZELENSKYY: (Through interpreter) A 3-month newborn child died - 3-month child. Just try to grasp it - 3 months old. When the war started, this child was a month old, and the child died. Just realize it. Grasp it.
ORDOÑEZ: Yeah. You can really hear the passion in his voice. And Ayesha, it's also getting worse in the east. There has been increased fighting in the Donbas region, where Russia is shifting its focus as it seeks more controls of areas such as Donetsk and Luhansk.
RASCOE: That's NPR's Franco Ordoñez in Kyiv, Ukraine. Thank you so much, Franco.
ORDOÑEZ: Thank you, Ayesha.

The president of National Unity Platform (NUP), Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine has revealed why he has never responded to attacks by the DP president, Norbert Mao.
Mao has on several occasions launched broadsides against Kyagulanyi and NUP supporters on television talkshows and social media accusing Kyagulanyi of being dictatorial. Mao accuses NUP and Bobi Wine of using double standards when it comes to politics.
Despite Mao’s continuous attacks, the NUP leader Kyagulanyi has never responded to the accusations which Mao started at the beginning of 2022.
But appearing on BBS TV on Saturday, Kyagulanyi, finally revealed why he chooses to ignore Mao’s attacks.
“Today is my first time to adress this issue. Mao, I respect you. Deep inside your heart, you know that we are all slaves in this regime. I know that you know the pain that your people are going through and I know that you know the disappointment of the people. But two wrongs don’t make right. That’s why I do not respond to your attacks. Not because I just want to ignore you but because It doesn’t take the struggle any further. Deep inside I know there’s the moral Mao and God willing, that Mao will show up,” Kyagulanyi explained.
Kyagulanyi said that the Mao of today is not the moral leader he knew before; the one that was inspirational, wise and respectful. The NUP proprietor said the Mao of today has somehow lost respect and integrity.
“I wouldn’t wish to address him (Mao) basing on his current state. He was one of the people that inspired me when I was young, since the days he was the guild president at Makerere University. Even when he stood for presidency for his first time, I voted him.”
Kyagulanyi said he had voted Mao not because his grandparents supported DP but because the then DP flag bearer Mao was a an intelligent and respected leader that suited well his generation.
However, he said that his stance changed the moment Mao turned into what he is now.
He further revealed that the first time he heard about Mao’s attacks on Twitter, he thought the tweets were from an imposter not until he saw Mao himself in the video.
Kyagulanyi maintained that he chose to stay mute about Mao’s tweets because he didn’t want to promote the version of person Mao had turned into.
“So, as me who used to admire Mao a lot, I chose to stick to the Mao I used to know. I don’t know the Mao of today. I know that in his heart, he knows the truth and I wouldn’t want to promote the new version of him.”
Quoting one of Mao’s quotes, “If you’re paid to be stupid, your intelligence ceases to matter.”, Bobi Wine said he wouldn’t wish to think that the same quote applies to the DP party leader. | http://nilepost.co.ug/2022/04/24/bobi-wine-why-i-never-respond-to-maos-attacks/ | 2022-04-24T18:39:30Z | http://nilepost.co.ug/2022/04/24/bobi-wine-why-i-never-respond-to-maos-attacks/ | true | 2 |
Tips to improve the signal on your cell phone if your calls drop – Technology Tutorials – Technology
Has it happened to you that when you most need to make a call or send a message, your phone loses signal? This is quite a frustrating situation. Nevertheless, in sometimes you can do certain things to make the device work normally in a “dead zone”.
These tips are delivered by the web portal ‘PC Mag’, which has studied mobile phones for 15 years.
Put your phone in airplane mode or restart your phone
Cell phones often get confused about the network or cling to one that is meters away. The quickest way to fix this problem is to put it in airplane mode and wait about 10 seconds and then put it back on signal.
(Be sure to read: The clan of cannibals that would have eaten more than a thousand travelers in Scotland).
This will help your phone to search for new available networks to improve your coverage.
In some cases, such as when crossing international borders or on public transport where the signal is completely gone, it is better to restart your cell phone.
You’re holding your phone wrong
Believe it or not, holding your cell phone incorrectly can block the signal antennas inside it. An example of this is the iPhone 4, since its receivers could be easily blocked by hand.
(You may be interested in: Personality traits that affect how much you earn at your job.)
If this happens to you, try holding your phone with two fingers or trying to block as little of the case as possible. In case you’re wondering, cell phone cases don’t block the signal, so you don’t need to remove them.
Need a new SIM or clean it
If you have had your cell phone for many years, your SIM probably needs a good cleaning. For this, you can remove it and clean the metal surface with a disinfectant towel or with a cotton swab that is moistened with a little alcohol.
(Keep reading: The renowned and infamous TV presenter who raped more than 500 children).
If you have already done this and you see that your cell phone does not receive a good signal, you have to call your operator and request a new latest generation SIM.
Change the signal between 3G, 4G or 5G
The network on your phone is important because the newer it is, the more efficient it is at using carrier resources.
In many cases phones only pick up a weaker signalwhich you can quickly fix.
To do this, go to ‘Settings’, then click on ‘Cellular data’ and finally change the network to the one with the best signal.

(NewsNation) — With inflation continuing to severely impact family budgets, consumer spending expert Andrea Woroch joined NewsNation Prime Saturday to share her tips on how to save money at the grocery store and basic necessities. Here are her tips for folks looking to save at the store:
I. Start meal planning
Start by planning meals through the week to save on groceries, Woroch says. The average American family throws out $1,600 of produce every year so reducing food waste by planning meals is key to saving money, she said.
“Look at your calendar for the week, which meals will you be planning to eat at home, when will you be eating out and then look for recipes that use the same ingredients,” Waroch said.
II. Track sales and deals
Once you plan what you and your household will be eating for the week, it’s time to start hunting for deals, she says.
Woroch suggests using apps like Flipp — which show users weekly shopping deals — to track down where the sales and best deals are.
She also says it helps to ask a store employee specifically about where to find the meats nearing expiration dates and if there are any manager markdowns in the store to save up to 70% on items at the store.
III. Maximize cash back on purchases
Picking the right credit card to get cashback at the grocery store is huge when it comes to saving.
If you are not currently using a cashback credit card, “you are missing out right now,” Woroch said.
Consumers can also use cashback apps like Fetch Rewards, in which users can build points to redeem rewards, she says.
IV. Buy in bulk selectively and go generic
“We know that those bulk packages really do have the best price per unit so they are a good deal but if you are over-buying in bulk, that’s going to lead to food waste,” Woroch said.
She also suggests buying generic products rather than name-brand ones to save up to 30% at the store.
“They’ve come a long way so do not turn your head at those generic brands. You are not going to sacrifice taste and you are going to save a lot,” Woroch said.
Grocery prices rose 10% in March on a year-on-year basis — the most in 41 years — driven by higher prices for poultry, fish, eggs, beef and other meats.
The reasons for the surge vary: supply chain snags, unfavorable weather and rising energy prices. The latter, driven by Russia’s war against Ukraine, pushed wholesale prices up a record 11.2% last month from a year earlier. Transportation problems are weighing on food imports, particularly seeds and other items that produce oils.

Child dies in mysterious hepatitis outbreak affecting youth
BERLIN — The World Health Organization says at least one death has been reported in connection with a mysterious liver disease outbreak affecting children in Europe and the United States.
The U.N. health agency said late Saturday that it has so far received reports of at least 169 cases of “acute hepatitis of unknown origin” from a dozen countries.
The cases were reported in children aged one month to 16 years old, and 17 of those who fell ill required liver transplants. WHO didn't say in which country the death occurred.
The first cases were recorded in Britain, where 114 children have been sickened.
“It is not yet clear if there has been an increase in hepatitis cases, or an increase in awareness of hepatitis cases that occur at the expected rate but go undetected,” WHO said in a statement.
Experts say the cases may be linked to a virus commonly associated with colds, but further research is ongoing.
“While adenovirus is a possible hypothesis, investigations are ongoing for the causative agent,” WHO said, noting that the virus has been detected in at least 74 of the cases. At least 20 of the children tested positive for the coronavirus.
WHO said affected countries are stepping up their surveillance of hepatitis cases in children. | https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/child-dies-in-mysterious-hepatitis-outbreak-affecting-youth/ | 2022-04-24T18:42:31Z | https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/child-dies-in-mysterious-hepatitis-outbreak-affecting-youth/ | true | 37 |

Oregon Ducks football coach Dan Lanning was determined to make the Spring Game a big recruiting tool and so far, it has worked to secure at least one commitment.
Brison Cobbins, a transfer running back out of Missouri Western, a Division II school, was at the Spring Game and announced his commitment to the Ducks after the festivities.
Coming out of Kansas City and Bishop Miege High School, Cobbins rushed for 1,300 yards and 24 TDs as a senior and holds the school record with 4,735 rushing yards.
Oregon hopes Cobbins is the first of many commitments to be secured after an estimated 42,000 fans flocked to Autzen to get their first look at the 2022 team.

'Pickford takes five minutes' - Klopp expected Merseyside derby tactics after Alisson mocks Everton keeper
Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool expected Everton's tactics to slow down the Merseyside derby, after the Reds claimed another crucial victory in the Premier League over their relegation-threatened rivals.
Andy Robertson and Divock Origi struck in a 2-0 win to hand the Toffees a blow for survival, but it was the tactics of Frank Lamaprd's side that often caught the eye in an ill-tempered encounter.
Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford in particular slowed the game down with his clearance time, prompting a mocking response from Alisson, while Klopp made reference to his performance in his post-match comments.
Editors' Picks

- ‘What happened between Ziyech and Tuchel’ – Chelsea fans question decision to bench star
- The beginning of the end? PSG claim 10th Ligue 1 title amid acrimony and uncertainty
What did Klopp say about Pickford and Everton's antics?
"We expected it [Everton's tactics] but we didn't react well," Klopp told BBC Sport after the full-time whistle. "It's difficult. Each ball Jordan Pickford has, he takes five minutes so we couldn't gain rhythm which you need to break down a low block. We expected them to do it.
"If anybody thinks we fly through these games, I can apologise, it won't happen. If we can create atmospheres like today it's difficult to deal with us for 95 minutes. Everton did what they had to do. With a performance like this, I think they can get the points they need.
"We stayed really cool and calm. The changes helped, Fresh players, different formation. It made it difficult for the opposition. We won 2-0, it's absolutely fine."
What did Alisson do to mock Pickford?
Throughout the game, Pickford often took his time to return the ball to action after defusing the danger inside his box, to keep Liverpool frustrated throughout the encounter.
But with the clock ticking down and Everton chasing a response, Alisson was quick to mimic his opposite number.
The Brazilian took a routine catch, before dramatically dropping to his knees and cradling the ball, to the delight of the Liverpool supporters in the ground. | https://www.goal.com/en-cm/news/pickford-five-minutes-klopp-merseyside-derby-tactics-alisson/bltbc8d10051f3d1e56 | 2022-04-24T19:25:00Z | https://www.goal.com/en-cm/news/pickford-five-minutes-klopp-merseyside-derby-tactics-alisson/bltbc8d10051f3d1e56 | false | 5 |
It was a good weekend for “The Bad Guys,” as the animated movie dominated the domestic box office in its debut.
The DreamWorks flick about anthropomorphic animals known for their spectacular heists opened with $24 million in North America, winning a weekend filled with high-profile titles in theaters.
Adapted from a popular series of children’s novels, “The Bad Guys” features a star-powered voice cast that includes Sam Rockwell, Anthony Ramos, Awkwafina, Marc Maron and Craig Robinson.
The film follows the group of animals as they decide whether to continue to their lives of crime once they’re given the chance go good.
“The Bad Guys” wasn’t the only family film that proved to be a big draw, as “Sonic the Hedgehog 2″ added another $15.2 million in its third weekend in theaters to finish in second place.
Based on the lightning-quick hedgehog from the SEGA video games, “Sonic 2″ has now made more than $145 million at North American theaters. It’s poised to soon set a new record for domestic earnings by a video-game adaptation, with the high mark belonging to the $148.9 million made by the original “Sonic the Hedgehog” in 2020.
Ben Schwartz voices the titular hero in “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” while Jim Carrey, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter and Idris Elba also star in the film.
Last weekend’s box-office winner, “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,” added $14 million to finish in third place. Set in the “Harry Potter” wizarding world, the film has made $67 million domestically since its April 15 premiere.
Rounding out the North American box office’s top five films for the weekend were a pair of new releases. The Viking fantasy epic “The Northman” starring Alexander Skarsgard and Anya Taylor-Joy made $12 million to finish fourth, while the action-comedy “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” in which Nicolas Cage plays a fictionalized version of himself came in fifth with $7.2 million.
Next weekend doesn’t feature any new films in theaters from the major studios, but May 6 marks the release of the much-anticipated Marvel movie “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”
Benedict Cumberbatch returns as the titular sorcerer in the superhero flick, which also stars Marvel veterans Elizabeth Olsen, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong and franchise newcomer Xochitl Gomez. | https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-box-office-the-bad-guys-sonic-the-hedgehog-the-northman-20220424-abcfnch3wvbfvaly5mttympmdq-story.html | 2022-04-24T19:25:26Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-box-office-the-bad-guys-sonic-the-hedgehog-the-northman-20220424-abcfnch3wvbfvaly5mttympmdq-story.html | false | 1 |
Lucius Fox was not feeling well at all.
Two pitches in the Washington Nationals’ game against the San Francisco Giants at Nationals Park Sunday, Fox knew he wasn’t going to be able to play. The Nats’ third baseman tried to make his way back to the dugout from his station at the hot corner, but as he passed the mound, he threw up.
The home crowd watched and yelled in shock as Fox doubled over, heaved and barfed some more.
The grounds crew hurried to clean up the mess on the infield grass.
Fox was replaced on the field by Maikel Franco, who moved over from first base. Riley Adams was subbed in to make his first career appearance at first base and replaced Fox in the batting order.
It’s not yet known what caused Fox to feel unwell. | https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/ny-nationals-lucius-fox-throws-up-20220424-jfyykkru2jbl7c2fim45p4jhfe-story.html | 2022-04-24T19:25:33Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/ny-nationals-lucius-fox-throws-up-20220424-jfyykkru2jbl7c2fim45p4jhfe-story.html | false | null |
TORONTO (AP) — It was a thumbs down day for Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers, who couldn’t complete a first-round sweep of the Toronto Raptors.
Pascal Siakam scored 15 of his 34 points in the fourth quarter, Gary Trent Jr. added 24 points and the Raptors beat Embiid and the Sixers 110-102 on Saturday.
Game 5 is Monday night in Philadelphia.
“We’ll be ready, I can guarantee you that,” 76ers coach Doc Rivers said.
Embiid started despite a right thumb injury that required him to wear a brace.
“It’s painful,” Embiid said. “In basketball you need to use your hand a lot.”
No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win an NBA playoff series. Fans briefly chanted “Raps in seven” after both coaches emptied their benches in the final minutes.
Embiid said he injured his thumb in the first half of Wednesday’s Game 3, and had it taped at halftime. He finished that game with a decisive 3-pointer in overtime, but wore a brace afterward, and at Friday’s practice.
Although Rivers said the Sixers don’t believe the injury can get worse, Embiid was seen shaking his hand in pain several times Saturday, occasionally doubling over as he squeezed the area.
“It’s going to be something he’s going to have to deal with throughout the playoffs from this point on,” Rivers said. “It’s not going to go away. He’ll get better and better at figuring out how to use it.”
Embiid shot 3 for 10 in the first half. He finished 7 for 16 and scored 21 points in 39 minutes.
Embiid said he expects to undergo an MRI in Philadelphia Monday but will likely keep playing even if doctors recommend surgery.
“I want to play,” he said. “I would imagine that I keep playing and probably do something after the season.”
Rivers said the Sixers, who made 16 turnovers and were outrebounded 46-41, didn’t deserve to win Saturday.
“We just made so many mistakes,” he said. “You can’t win an NBA regular season game with the mistakes we made, let alone a playoff game.”
Thaddeus Young scored 13 points, OG Anunoby had 10, and newly crowned NBA Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes had six points and 11 rebounds off the bench as Toronto overcame an injury to All-Star guard Fred VanVleet to stave off elimination.
After being called for a foul with 4:57 to go in the second quarter, VanVleet ripped his jersey apart in frustration and walked off the court to the locker room because of a strained left hip.
“He’s been banged around pretty good this year and he continues to lace it up and go out there and play big minutes every night,” coach Nick Nurse said. “There’s not every guy in this league that does that.”
Nurse said VanVleet was going for an MRI after the game. VanVleet shot 2 for 6 and scored five points in 15 minutes.
Tobias Harris had 15 points and 11 rebounds and James Harden scored 22 points for the 76ers. Harden shot 5 for 17, going 2 for 10 from 3-point range.
After being held scoreless in the second half of Toronto’s Game 3 loss, Siakam shot 10 for 19 and went 13 for 15 at the free throw line.
“It’s about moving forward, and that’s what he did,” Young said of Siakam.
Trent had scored 20 or more in consecutive games after being slowed by an illness in Games 1 and 2.
“I wish I felt like this the first two games,” Trent said. “My body is feeling good.”
Philadelphia called timeout with 9:10 left in the fourth quarter after Young’s steal on Embiid’s wayward pass led to a driving basket for Achiuwa, giving Toronto an 88-81 lead.
Harden’s layup with 8:20 to go made it 90-85, but Toronto scored the next six points, all at the free throw line. Embiid stopped the run by making a pair at the line, but Anunoby’s 3-pointer with 3:44 to go in the fourth gave the Raptors a 99-87 edge.
Ahead of tipoff, the NBA announced that Toronto’s Barnes had won the Rookie of the Year award, edging out Cleveland’s Evan Mobley. 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.
Barnes left Game 1 of the series after spraining his left ankle and hadn’t played since, but came off the bench midway through the first quarter Saturday.
Barnes needed treatment after falling down on defense early in the second, but remained in the game.
Embiid missed all five shots he took in the first quarter, including one from 3-point range.His only point in the opening period came when made one of two free throws.
Toronto led 54-49 at the half. Embiid shot 4 for 5 and scored eight points in the third but the Raptors took an 80-77 lead to the fourth.
FOUL LINE STORY
For the first time in the series, the Raptors shot more free throws than the 76ers. Toronto went 28 for 35 at the line, while Philadelphia was 21 for 25.

The US Coast Guard is searching for three missing minors who were last seen entering the Mississippi River in Louisiana on Saturday evening, according to the law enforcement service.
Rescue crews are searching for a 15-year-old male, a 14-year-old female and an 8-year-old female who were last seen entering the Mississippi River near the Crescent City Connection Bridge in New Orleans, the US Coast Guard 8th District Heartland said in a news release on Sunday.
It's unclear how and why the children entered the water. Several rescue teams are involved in the search, including the New Orleans police and fire departments, the Coast Guard Air Station helicopter crew and several boat crews, the release says.
The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority suspended service of its Algiers-Canal Street ferry as the Coast Guard searched the area, according to CNN affiliate WDSU. The ferry service remains suspended as of Sunday morning, the affiliate reported.

Liverpool hero Mohamed Salah could soon be on his way out of Anfield if his contract situation is not resolved, with his deal up at the end of next season.
Fears have been heightened with new reports claiming that Barcelona have made him their number one target for the summer.
The Egyptian star, 29, has been one of the best players in the Premier League in recent years and is the top scorer in the division this campaign.
A key part of Jurgen Klopp’s exciting outfit, Salah is a huge asset to Liverpool and would be sorely missed.
But with just 14 months left on his contract, there is an element of uncertainty around Salah’s future at the club.
Various teams have registered an interest in taking him on a free transfer at the end of next season, including Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
But Barcelona could have stolen a march in the race to sign him after they made him their number one target over Robert Lewandowski, according to the Daily Star.
The report states that after clinching a multi-million pound deal with Spotify earlier this year, they have the financial muscle to attract him to the club.
Their financial crisis last season saw them sell club legend Lionel Messi and talents such as Emerson Royal and Antoine Griezmann.
In a bid to put that right, a move for Salah could well be in the offing as Xavi looks to restore Barcelona as La Liga title contenders again.
Salah has told Liverpool that he wishes to stay on Merseyside and prolong his career as a genuine club legend, but Barcelona will still aim to unsettle Reds fans by offering Salah a bumper deal.
He has been made aware of interest from the Blaugrana, and alas has not put pen to paper just yet on a contract worth over £400,000 per week. | https://theeagleonline.com.ng/barcelona-fc-make-mohamed-salah-number-one-target/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=barcelona-fc-make-mohamed-salah-number-one-target | 2022-04-24T19:41:19Z | https://theeagleonline.com.ng/barcelona-fc-make-mohamed-salah-number-one-target/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=barcelona-fc-make-mohamed-salah-number-one-target | false | 1 |
University of California San Francisco celebrates 1,000 lung transplants
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) – A 60-year-old man is being called number 1,000.
Insurance agent Patrick Alexander is recovering from being the 1,000 lung transplant at the University of California San Francisco since the program began in 1991.
“We don’t know much about the donor family or the donor his or herself, but we’re just so grateful,” Alexander said.
Alexander had scarring of the lung that impeded the ability for oxygen to enter the bloodstream.
USCF’s transplant expertise is world class. Pulmonologist Steve Hays said the one year survival rate is top in the county and has been that way for a decade.
“Our long-term survival is also continuing to really improve every year so that patients who are now getting a transplant have an expectation they could live nearly 12 years,” Hays said.
In about a year, Alexander is expected to be able to resume an active life of travel, exercise and other activities. Post-transplant complications are now rare.
Transplant surgeon Jasleen Kukreja said the program went from about 20% airway complications requiring some sort of intervention down to less than 1%.
“Which is really quite remarkable because no other program has been able to achieve that outcome,” Kukreja said.
Alexander can now expect to extend his life 10 to 12 years.
“A year ago we didn’t even know that Patrick had the disease,” Alexander’s wife Allison said. “This is how quickly it progressed, and we’re just so grateful for the staff at UCSF. They have been so thorough.”

Trump Again Touts 'Acing' Cognitive Test, Insists He's Not Stupid
Donald Trump I'm Not Stupid!!! Again Touts Cognitive Test
4/24/2022 11:23 AM PT
Donald Trump is once again insisting he isn't dumb ... by once again touting the fact he "aced" a cognitive test during his presidency, which is actually quite easy to pass.
DT was in Delaware, OH this weekend for a rally ... and at one point, he brought up the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) test he took in 2018 -- which he famously hyped up in a Fox News interview a couple years later ... the whole "woman, man, camera, TV" thing.
His point for discussing it anew ... to reiterate, he's smart ... and NOT stupid, like he says the media makes him out to be. Apparently, that's why he wanted to do this at the time.
TRUMP: I asked the doctor, I said, 'is there some kind of cognitive test that I could take?' ... the last questions are much more difficult. Like a memory question. You'll go 'person, woman, man, camera, TV.' So they say -- 'can you repeat that?' ... for me it was easy." 😳 pic.twitter.com/pCKYoNy3BH
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 23, 2020 @atrupar
Trump goes into detail about the convo he had with then-WH physician Dr. Ronny Jackson -- how he insisted he takes MOCA to silence haters who called him an idiot. He says he knew they were wrong ... because he apparently has a long history of "geniuses" in his fam.
The ex-Prez insists the exam is strenuous, or at least that's what he says he was told -- but as many have noted since ... MOCA is very simple, mostly consisting of stuff like connecting lettered or numbered dots together, drawing a clock, correctly ID'ing a lion or camel and being able to recite a series of words repeatedly ... which Trump was proud to note, he did.
As you know, Trump's mental fitness was often questioned during his tenure -- including one notable time that he appeared to slur his words while talking publicly -- but he and his team dismissed all of that ... and the doc himself even had an explanation.
Now, as Trump appears to be ramping up for another run ... he's back on the intelligence horse. When you're with him, you're NOT with stupid -- at least that's DT's thinking. | https://www.tmz.com/2022/04/24/trump-again-touts-acing-cognitive-test-not-stupid/ | 2022-04-24T19:44:09Z | https://www.tmz.com/2022/04/24/trump-again-touts-acing-cognitive-test-not-stupid/ | true | 1 |
If you’re a casual or professional photographer who uses one of Sony’s digital or DSLR cameras, you’re probably familiar with the annoyance of lugging the proprietary charging adaptor to recharge the NP-FZ100 battery that powers the majority of the company’s cameras.
Nitecore, on the other hand, promises to let you ditch Sony’s charger for good with its new UFZ100 rechargeable battery for Sony cameras, which includes a built-in USB-C charging connector.
Nitecore UFZ100 Battery Pack
Nitecore just presented another battery-powered battery load with an implicit USB-C connector for Sony cameras going from the Sony A7 III to the A9 series. Indeed, you read that accurately! The Nitecore UFZ100 is basically a trade for Sony’s NP-FZ100 battery pack, which drives the Sony A7 III, A7R III, A9 II, A6600, FX3, and different cameras.
If you are a serious photographer, you will need to refuel the NP-FZ100 battery with its unique charging adaptor, which has a capacity of 2,280mAh. However, you may remove Niteocore’s UFZ100 from your camera and recharge it with a USB-C connection.
As a result, you would no longer need to carry Sony’s cumbersome proprietary charger in your luggage to recharge your camera battery. The capacity of the UFZ100 is 2,250mAh, which is somewhat less than that of the Sony NP-FZ100.
In addition, the manufacturer has integrated an LED indication to allow customers to readily monitor the battery levels. Users may check the LED indication by pressing a button located just next to the USB-C connector.
Aside from these advantages, the UFZ100 has a built-in power balancing circuit and other safety features like overcharge prevention, overvoltage protection, short circuit protection, and more.
Furthermore, it is backward compatible with all Sony cameras that use the NP-FZ100 battery pack. The battery percentage is displayed on the camera displays.
While the concept of charging a camera battery pack using a USB-C connection is intriguing, Nitecore’s product may fall short when compared to Sony’s NP-FZ100 battery pack. Although Sony claims that its battery takes only 2.5 hours to completely charge, the UFZ100 takes four hours.
What’s the Pricing?
This is a big difference between the two, although the UFZ100’s pricing may have an influence in wiping it out. If it is supplied at a lower price than Sony’s $78 NP-FZ100, it will be an appealing product to photographers.
However, no information on the product’s pricing or availability has been provided by the firm. You may now check it out on Nitecore’s official website. | https://techstory.in/sony-camera-battery-pack-features-a-built-in-usb-c-charging-point/ | 2022-04-24T19:44:35Z | https://techstory.in/sony-camera-battery-pack-features-a-built-in-usb-c-charging-point/ | true | 1 |
Comedian Chris Rock’s mother confessed that the attack on her famous son at the Academy Awards by actor Will Smith felt like the whole family was slapped.
In an interview with Columbia, S.C., NBC affiliate WIS, Rose Rock, a motivational speaker, said she initially thought the face smack was staged, but when Smith started yelling obscenities from his seat in the audience, she knew it was for real.
“[Will] started using obscenities,” she said. “When he slapped Chris, he slapped all of us. He really slapped me.”
Rose Rock lamented her son had been looking forward to presenting an award to his good friend Questlove.
“No one even heard his speech. No one was able to just be in the moment because everyone was sitting there like, ‘what just happened?’” she told the news outlet.
Questlove, a founding member of the Hip-Hop band “The Roots,” won an award for his directorial debut in 2021’s “Summer of Soul,” a documentary film in which Rock appeared.
Rose Rock also said an apology statement from Smith wasn’t personal enough.
“I feel really bad that he never apologized,” she said. “I mean his people wrote up a piece saying I apologize to Chris Rock, but you see something like that is personal, you reach out.”
She told the news outlet it was the one year she did not attend the Oscars and was watching the ceremony at home when her son, after making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's short hair, was hit in front of millions.
The Academy’s Board of Governors has announced it’s placed Smith on a 10-year ban from attending any Academy event because of the hot-headed attack.
She said she doesn’t object to the punishment.
“I wouldn’t take his award away, and I don’t see any good way they could have taken him out without disrupting," Rose Rock said.

Tuchel explains why Pulisic has started just once for Chelsea since helping USMNT qualify for 2022 World Cup
Thomas Tuchel has outlined why Christian Pulisic has struggled for starting minutes since helping the USMNT qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, after the Chelsea forward's superb heroics against West Ham.
The forward struck in the 90th minute to snatch a 1-0 win over David Moyes' side late on at Stamford Bridge, with his first goal for the club since last month's Champions League last-16 win over Lille.
Since coming back from international duty, however, he has been relatively starved for minutes, and now his coach has explained why he has been on the bench more often than not.

- Zinchenko delivers timely reminder of why he’s so important to Guardiola’s Man City
What did Tuchel say on lack of starting role for Pulisic?
“If you ask him he would say it was not a good idea,” Tuchel told his post-match press conference.
“It is like this, especially with the strikers. He has a period when he was on the run, when he had the confidence and he was heavily involved up front and Timo [Werner] had to wait for many, many weeks.
"Now things turned around a little bit from the Southampton game. Puli struggled a little bit since he came back from international break. Where I think he had three matches and incredible amount of journeys and time zones to cope with. From there he struggled a bit energy wise, that was my impression on and off the pitch. Sometimes it is like this.
“We tried to bring him back to full confidence from the bench and I’m happy with the effort today and I’m very happy that he had the chance to have this huge impact together with Romelu [Lukaku] and Hakim [Ziyech]. This is super important.”
What has Pulisic done since returning from USMNT duty?
Since helping his nation book their spot at Qatar, Pulisic has mustered just one start for the club - in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid, when Chelsea were on the wrong end of a 3-1 scoreline.
That has seen his action limited to minutes picked up off the bench, with the forward drawing a blank in the return leg against Los Blancos, plus against Southampton.
However, he has now put himself back on the scoresheet with his late heroics against the Hammers. | https://www.goal.com/en/news/tuchel-explains-why-pulisic-started-once-chelsea-usmnt/blt02b4e1dd27026e03 | 2022-04-24T19:45:32Z | https://www.goal.com/en/news/tuchel-explains-why-pulisic-started-once-chelsea-usmnt/blt02b4e1dd27026e03 | false | 13 |
The NASA InSight Mars lander might not be as well known as its rover cousins, Perseverance and Curiosity, but it is doing important work in understanding more about the interior of Mars and how the planet is shaken by marsquakes. Now, researchers have identified two of the largest marsquakes seen to date.
The research, published in the journal The Seismic Record, describes how two marsquakes were detected from InSight data. The first occurred on August 25, 2021, and the second shortly after on September 18, 2021. These two events were significant for a number of reasons: Firstly, they were the largest marsquakes detected to date, and secondly, they occurred on the far side of Mars from InSight, while most detected marsquakes have originated nearer to the lander.
The August quake, called S0976a, was a magnitude 4.2 event, while the September quake, called S1000a, was a magnitude of 4.1. That makes them five times stronger than previously detected marsquakes. The first quake lasted a typical period of a few seconds, but the second event lasted a long time, clocking in at a total of 94 minutes, making it the longest event recorded so far. It also had unusually broad frequency, meaning its energy spread across frequencies from 0.1Hz to 5Hz.
“Not only are they the largest and most distant events by a considerable margin, S1000a has a spectrum and duration unlike any other event previously observed,” said lead researcher Anna Horleston in a statement. “They truly are remarkable events in the Martian seismic catalog.”
The first quake is particularly interesting as it was found to originate in the Valles Marineris canyon network. Researchers had previously predicted there would be seismic activity in this region, but this is the first time they have actually found it there. Instead, most marsquakes detected to date originate in the Cerberus Fossae region.
These quakes originated on the far side of the planet from the InSight lander, in an area called the core shadow zone. This is the region from which seismic waves (called P and S waves) cannot travel directly to the lander, because the core of the planet gets in the way. To detect the origin of the quake, researchers have to look at the reflections of these waves instead (called PP and SS waves).
The ability to detect marsquakes coming from this zone is a major achievement in seismology on Mars. “Recording events within the core shadow zone is a real steppingstone for our understanding of Mars. Prior to these two events, the majority of the seismicity was within about 40 degrees distance of InSight,” said Savas Ceylan, a co-author of the paper from the ETH Zürich institution. “Being within the core shadow, the energy traverses parts of Mars we have never been able to seismologically sample before.”

Man saves woman who stopped breathing on flight despite missing item in medical kit
CARY, N.C. (WRAL) – A North Carolina man is being called a hero after jumping into action to save a woman’s life during a flight.
As a professional extreme athlete, Seth Coley travels all over the country.
Last month, he was flying from Arizona to Las Vegas when a young woman had stopped breathing.
“They yell, ‘Is there any medical personnel on board?’” Coley said.
Coley is trained as a wilderness first responder.
“I was shocked that I was the only one that really knew what to do,” he said.
When someone brought him the plane’s medical kit, he said a key item he needed was missing.
“I need an NPA or OPA. Both of those systems are basically a straw for your nose or your mouth and it basically forces an airway open,” Coley said.
Coley was still able to get the woman breathing again by manipulating her neck and airway but when he called and emailed Frontier Airlines to discuss his concerns, he got an automated response.
So he posted about it on social media to get their attention.
“I want to make sure people feel safe flying with certain airlines,” Coley said. “I think that’s really irresponsible.”
Frontier Airlines would not address the specific situation, but sent a statement which says: “It is a regulatory requirement to have specific emergency and first aid equipment on an aircraft and the required equipment is the same for all airlines. If any equipment is missing, a flight cannot be dispatched absent an FAA approved exemption.”
The Federal Aviation Administration said airlines risk receiving a fine for not following the rules.
Coley said Frontier has all of his contact information and he hopes they will reach out to him about his concerns.

Representative Michael McCaul (R-TX) defended House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” over audio in which McCarthy said he would advise then-President Trump to resign if Trump was impeached over the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
When asked if McCarthy could still lead the House Republican conference, McCaul said, “Absolutely. I think Kevin is in very good shape. In fact, the president came out saying this is not going to endanger his relationship with Kevin, that he is strongly supportive. You have to put it in the context of when it was given.”
He continued, “This was literally right after Jan. 6. It was a very dark day and a very shocking day. A lot of emotions flying high,” the lawmaker said. “What Kevin was doing was gaming out various options, like, ‘Hey, what if he got impeached in the House and then the Senate convicted? Would it be better for him to resign?'”
McCaul added, “But the fact is he never had the conversation with President Trump. President Trump said yesterday that he fully supports Kevin McCarthy for speaker, as do I. Kevin has put one goal and one goal only in his mind. That’s taking back the majority.”

Duke freshman A.J. Griffin is heading to the NBA, becoming the fifth Blue Devils player in the past week to declare early for the draft.
The school announced Griffin's decision Sunday, the last day for players to declare themselves eligible for the NBA draft. Duke said the 6-foot-6, 222-pound wing regarded as a potential lottery draft pick plans to hire an agent.
“It was a dream come true,” Griffin said in a statement. "My experiences have helped prepare me for this moment and I am proud to know I will be a Blue Devil for life.”
Griffin's NBA move follows that of 7-1 sophomore Mark Williams, 6-10 star freshman Paolo Banchero, 6-5 wing Wendell Moore Jr. and 6-5 guard Trevor Keels. Part of one of the nation’s top recruiting classes out of Ossining, New York, Griffin is ranked as ESPN’s No. 8 draft prospect.
He averaged 10.4 points while providing size, outside shooting and defensive potential to the wing for the Blue Devils. That production came despite him missing most of his last two high school seasons because of knee and ankle injuries, as well as a preseason knee injury that slowed his process of getting back in rhythm after extended absences.
His role grew as he became more comfortable in returning to full-time action. He moved into the top lineup by mid January and never left, starting Duke's last 25 games. He had 22 points on 8-for-11 shooting in his first start at Wake Forest, the first of five 20-point outputs as a starter — the highlight being a 27-point star-making turn in a win at rival North Carolina in early February.
Griffin made 71 of 159 3-pointers (44.7%), including 10 games as a starter with at least three 3s.
Griffin helped Duke reach now-retired Hall of Famer Mike Krzyzewski’s record 13th Final Four while winning the program’s first outright Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title since 2006.
“A.J. was one of the best shooters in the nation and his skillset is exactly what NBA teams are looking for,” Krzyzewski said in a statement.
While Duke is losing a lot of top-tier talent as Jon Scheyer takes over for Krzyzewski, the Blue Devils will have guard Jeremy Roach — who announced his return earlier in the week and had a strong postseason run — as the team's top returning scorer (8.6 points, 27 starts). Duke also has 247sports' No. 1-ranked recruiting class, featuring top overall prospect Dereck Lively II, fellow big man Kyle Filipowski (No. 3) and small forward Dariq Whitehead (No. 5).

Hits are born from hours outpoured by talented producers in the studio, fine-tuning the beat, the melody, the vocals, the arrangements which all need creativity and technique as well as a good understanding of music genres.
7 elite Kenyan music producers
Music producers are the unseen force behind every great song, the yin to a song’s yang
Although they are rarely the face of many accolades, without them there would be no music. They ensure production runs seamlessly and the end product is perfect.
Here are seven crème de la crème producers who have been at the top of their game through generations of Kenyan music.
Eric Musyoka
He is a veteran producer with more than 20 years of success in the music industry. Musyoka owns Decimal Records recording studio which rose to repute for working with Kenya's biggest talents.
The record label notably produced Drinx Na Mayenx by Decimal Records artistes (DCMTRS) - Masta Ajab, Bon'eye, KonKodi and Brian Nadra. He also worked on Morgan Heritage’s 2019 album Loyalty.
He started producing music in 1997 at the popular Sync Studio, under the guidance of Muhammud Omar, Ambrose Mandugu, and Tedd Josiah.
As the Head Producer at Homeboyz Entertainment, he worked with artistes such as Prezzo, TID, Sema, Mr Lenny, Bamzigi, Nameless, AY, Wyre, Peter Miles, Nikki and Nonini.
Musyoka is feted for producing major hits such as Punchline Kibao by Ukoo Flani, Nonini’s Keroro, Hii Ngoma by Nikki, Kare by P-Unit, Ha-He by Just a Band and You Guy by P-Unit.
The prolific producer said in a past interview that his greatest achievement is knowing that he has been a source of inspiration.
Cedo Kadenyi
He is hands-down one of the best producers. Cedo is a producer with Pacho Entertainment and has cemented his name in history as the producer behind major singles like Mungu Pekee and Malaika by Nyashinski, El-Shaddai by H_art the Band and Dandia by Kristoff.
Cedo has also worked with the boyband Sauti Sol as well as collaborated with Sol Generation artistes on projects. He continues to be a skillful producer behind tracks.
Tedd Josiah
Josiah is a legend with an almost godfather status in Kenyan music. He owns the Blue Zebra Records formed in 1999 which was originally called Audio Vault Studios before being renamed in 2002.
He is Wyre’s former boss and most of the artist’s hard-hitting songs were recorded in the Blue Zebra studio.
Josiah produced the iconic compilation albums called Kenyan, The First Chapter and Kenyan, The Second Chapter. The two albums featured Hardstone, Kalamashaka, Gidi Gidi Maji Maji, Necessary Noize, In-Tu, Jimmy Gathu, Maina Kageni, Pete Odera, Ndarling P and Ugandan musician Kawesa.
Having sustained a career spanning decades, Tedd recently advised Kenyan musicians: "A lot of artists don't understand Kenyan sounds from the past and only look to what they hear now, so their musical research is based on kiss radio's playlist which is honestly all of five songs most of which are Nigerian."
Philip Makanda
He is famously known as Philo. The talented producer is the man behind Jaguar’s hit songs such as Kipepeo, Huu Mwaka and Kioo. He is the Director at Main Switch Record Label.
Philo has also worked with Daddy Owen, Papa Dennis, Vivian, Kendi, Zikki and Elani.
Motif Di Don
You might have heard award-winning hip-hop artist Khaligraph Jones mention him in his songs.
Motif is the producer at Blue Ink studios owned by Papa Jones. He is the person behind the dope banger released by the acclaimed hip-hop star. He is a self-made brand when it comes to music producers in Kenya.
Magix Enga
He is one of the most controversial yet reputable producers. Magix calls himself the Beat King and arguably he is a genius.
Enga has worked with many upcoming artists like Alvindo, Boondocks Gang amongst many others. Some hits by Timmy Tdat, Otile Brown have been produced by his magical hands.
Mavo on the Beat
He is a top-rated producer and owner of Marvine Music Studio. Mavo has worked with artists like Vivian, Sudi Boy, Kansoul, Gwaash, Mbogi Genje, Sailors, Jua Cali and Maddox.
The beatmaker is on the rise due to his craftsmanship which is appreciated by artistes.

Exclusivity is so much of the goal between couples that it literally becomes a point on a check list for relationships. Attraction? Check. Compatibility? Check. Commonality? Check. Honesty? Check. Monogamy?
Well, we haven't gotten that far yet...but it's on our minds, isn't it? And this little bit is what ties the relationship up, for good. And exclusivity doesn't always imply monogamy; but it does require commitment and honesty. Romantic couplings can be open, as long as the nuclear couple agrees to the terms of the exclusive relationship.
Becoming exclusive is also a point of contention between couples, and the sooner this topic is addressed, the better. Hearts are on the line here, and if making the relationship exclusive is where it's supposed to go, then get there as soon as you possibly can.

The less gray area space, the better. This is also when couples need to sit down and have 'the talk.' And the talk is, of course, the discussion of loyalty and monogamy. Are you in, or are you not in?
RELATED: Weekly Tarot Card Reading, By Zodiac Sign, April 25, 2022 - May 1, 2022
For certain signs of the zodiac, on this day, there is no question involved. There is only exclusivity and nothing else. This is usually knowledge built on experience; couples who open their relationships up to the possibility of bringing in other lovers are either completely on board with the idea, or they end up super jealous and everything falls apart.
That's why today is for communication. Do you want a monogamous, exclusive relationship? Then demand it, or let it go.
Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are the three zodiac signs who become exclusive during Mercury square Saturn on April 25, 2022.
1. Capricorn
(December 22 - January 19)
If anyone was on the fence about calling the relationship 'exclusive' it was you, Capricorn, as you weren't ever really sure you could 'do' monogamy. You're so flirtatious by nature, and rarely have you not gone through with your flirtations. You feel as though you were put on this Earth to fulfill your fantasies, and yet, now that you're in a relationship with someone you really care for, you're considering the idea of exclusivity.
What harm could it do? It's not as if you are required to be in everybody's bed for a roll in the hay? You like the idea of being with one person; I guess you could say you're finally growing up.
And once you start getting into it, you'll want it no other way. Love does strange things to people, and you, of all people will come to know this on April 24, when the monogamy button gets pushed in your life.

2. Aquarius
(January 20 - February 18)
Generally, you're not into exclusivity — until you are, and here's the thing: you had no idea you were capable of such love, or possessiveness. And it's the latter that's going to have you demanding a serious 'exclusive' relationship with the person you're involved with.
That Moon square Uranus vibe is all over you, and it's making you paranoid and jealous; this must be avoided! Jealousy is exactly the thing you despise in yourself and though you'd never admit to it, if you don't get your partner to sign, seal and deliver a vow of faithfulness, you'll spend the rest of your life feeling like a jealous, suspicious fool.
So, cut to the chase: use this day to talk it out with your person. Come to a conclusion sooner, rather than later. If exclusivity is what you want, then it must be that way, or nothing at all.

(February 19 - March 10)
Related Stories From YourTango:
This is a topic that needs no discussion, in your book. You either live in trust, knowing that your relationship is both exclusive and trustworthy, or there's simply no relationship to be had. You let your mate know this right at the start; you want monogamy.
You don't want to be kept up late at night, worrying whether your partner is cheating on you or not. You want all truth, 24-7, and this kind of complete transparency only pays off if nobody's getting into bed with another person.
Point blank: there will be no extramarital affairs, and if the other person is caught with a lover, that the end of that. You are blunt and straightforward, and on this day, if you haven't said this in super clear terms for your partner to imbibe fully, then get on it. You want this — they want it, now make it work permanently.

PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron appeared to comfortably win reelection Sunday in a runoff, polling agencies projected, offering France and the European Union the reassurance of leadership stability in the bloc's only nuclear-armed power as the continent grapples with the fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
A second five-year term for Macron — if confirmed by official results later Sunday — would spare France and its allies in Europe and beyond the seismic upheaval of a wartime shift of power to Macron's far-right nationalist challenger Marine Le Pen, who quickly acknowledged her defeat.
Her campaign had pledged to dilute French ties with the 27-nation EU, the NATO military alliance and Germany, moves that would have shaken Europe’s security architecture as the continent deals with its worst conflict since World War II. Le Pen also spoke out against sanctions on Russian energy supplies and faced scrutiny during the campaign over her previous friendliness with the Kremlin.
Polling agencies’ projections, released as the last voting stations closed, said Macron was on course to beat Le Pen by a double-digit margin. Five years ago, Macron won a sweeping victory over Le Pen to become France’s youngest president at 39. The margin is expected to be much smaller this time: Polling agencies Opinionway, Harris and Ifop projected that the 44-year-old pro-European centrist would win at least 57% of the vote.
Le Pen was projected to win between 41.5% and 43% support -- a still unprecedented result for the 53-year-old on her third attempt to win the French presidency.
Le Pen called her results “a shining victory,” saying that “in this defeat, I can't help but feel a form of hope.”
She and hard-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon, who placed third in the first round of voting on April 10 and was among 10 presidential candidates eliminated that day, both quickly pitched forward to France's legislative election in June, urging voters to give them a parliamentary majority to hamstring Macron.
Early official results are expected later Sunday night.
If the projections hold, Macron would become only the third president since the 1958 founding of modern France to win twice at the ballot box, and the first in 20 years, since incumbent Jacques Chirac trounced Le Pen’s father in 2002.
Le Pen’s score this time rewarded her year-long efforts to make her far-right politics more palatable to voters. Campaigning hard on cost-of-living issues, she made deep inroads among blue-collar voters, in disaffected rural communities and former industrial centers.
Breaking through the threshold of 40% or more of the vote is unprecedented for the French far-right. Le Pen was beaten 66% to 34% by Macron in 2017. And her father got less than 20% against Chirac.
Several hundred Macon supporters gathered in front of the Eiffel Tower, singing the national anthem and waving French and European flags as television stations broadcast the initial projections of his win.
Still. the projected drop in support for Macron compared to five years ago points to what is expected to be a tough battle for the president to rally people behind him in his second term.
Many French voters found the 2022 rematch less compelling than in 2017, when Macron was an unknown factor, having never previously held elected office.
Leftist voters — unable to identify with either the centrist president or Le Pen’s fiercely nationalist platform — often agonized with the choices Sunday. Some trooped reluctantly to polling stations solely to stop Le Pen, casting joyless votes for Macron.
“It was the least worst choice,” said Stephanie David, a transport logistics worker who backed a communist candidate in round one.
It was an impossible choice for retiree Jean-Pierre Roux. Having also voted communist in round one, he dropped an empty envelope into the ballot box on Sunday, repelled both by Le Pen’s politics and what he saw as Macron’s arrogance.
“I am not against his ideas but I cannot stand the person,” Roux said.
Marian Arbre, voting in Paris, cast his ballot for Macron “to avoid a government that finds itself with fascists, racists.”
“There’s a real risk,” the 29-year-old fretted.
Macron went into the vote with a sizeable lead in polls but unable to be sure of victory from a fractured, anxious and tired electorate. The war in Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic battered Macron’s first term, as did months of violent protests against his economic policies. The upheavals created fertile ground for Le Pen.
With the EU’s only seat on the U.N. Security Council and only nuclear arsenal, the outcome in France was being watched across the 27-nation bloc as it grapples with the fallout of the war in Ukraine.
France has played a leading role in international efforts to punish Russia with sanctions and is supplying weapons systems to Ukraine.
Earlier in the day, Le Pen voted in the northern town of Henin-Beaumont, in France’s struggling former industrial heartland, while Macron voted in the resort town of Le Touquet on the English Channel.
Appealing to working-class voters struggling with surging prices, Le Pen has vowed that bringing down the cost of living would be her priority if elected. She argued that Macron’s presidency left the country deeply divided, pointing to the yellow vest protest movement that rocked his government before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Macron sought to appeal to voters of immigrant heritage and religious minorities, especially because of Le Pen’s proposed policies targeting Muslims and putting French citizens first in line for jobs and benefits.
Macron also touted his environmental and climate accomplishments to trawl for young voters who backed left-wing candidates in round one. Macron said his next prime minister would be put in charge of environmental planning as France seeks to become carbon neutral by 2050.

(NEXSTAR) – You may only think of military members being buried in the ocean, but the tradition is not just for the armed forces. Given the right set of circumstances, anyone can skip a traditional cemetery in favor of a goodbye via boat.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has parameters for at-sea burials, however.
Here are some of the basics:
- While EPA doesn’t charge, a burial at sea must be authorized by the agency with a general permit
- Human remains can be released in ocean waters that are at least three nautical miles away from the shore
- Only human remains can be released (no pet remains)
- Flowers, wreaths and other typical gravesite items can be placed but they must be easily decomposable (non-plastic)
How are bodies prepared for sea burials?
Bodies buried at sea can be either cremated, in a traditional casket, or non-cremated and not in a casket (i.e., the body is just released straight into the ocean).
- Cremated remains: All or even just parts of a body can be scattered as ashes into the sea, EPA explains. There are some rules, however. Cremated remains can include the casket if it was burned as part of the process, but metal objects should be removed by the crematorium beforehand. Cremated remains of someone who had medical waste inside their bodies are not allowed
- Non-cremated in a casket: Holes must drilled into the casket to help it sink. Additional weight, like sand bags or lead-free concrete, should be added inside to achieve a total weight of 300 pounds. The extra weight helps offset the buoyancy of the body and the casket, EPA says. At least six chains need to be secured around the casket to keep it closed
- Non-cremated and not in a casket: A natural fiber shroud should be wrapped around the body, in addition to extra weight, like chains
Can any boat be used for a sea burial?
Aside from using a personal boat (or boat the driver is authorized to operate), there are some options to get a body or remains three nautical miles from shore.
- Charter boat companies may offer sea burial services, according to EPA
- Military veterans and their spouses may be eligible for at-sea burial through the U.S. Navy or the U.S. Coast Guard
- Those in charge of burials are required to notify the EPA within 30 days after the event, EPA says
Can you burn a funeral pyre?
Unfortunately, Viking funerals are not allowed by the EPA. Floating a flaming body and a burnable structure out to sea can generate smoke, ash and debris. The agency says the vessel that carries the body out to sea must be the structure that comes back
What are the benefits of at-sea burials?
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Judah Ben-Hur, owner of Argos Cremation and Burials, said the average cost of an at-sea burial is between $5,000 and $10,000.
At-sea burials could potentially be cheaper than ordinary burial costs in some cases, though the National Funeral Directors Association says the average cost of a funeral, with a burial, is $7,848. Needs or wants for services would dictate which process makes more financial sense. | https://www.yourerie.com/news/national-news/you-can-be-buried-at-sea-if-you-want-heres-what-it-takes/ | 2022-04-24T20:08:17Z | https://www.yourerie.com/news/national-news/you-can-be-buried-at-sea-if-you-want-heres-what-it-takes/ | true | 35 |
Biden to make first visit to Israel as president 'in the coming months'
Biden accepts the invitation to visit the Jewish state in a call with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett
US President Joe Biden intends to make his first visit as the American leader to Israel "in the coming months" after accepting an invitation from Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett during a Sunday phone call.
The two leaders talked about shared regional and global security challenges, according to a readout of the call provided by the White House.

During the call, Bennett informed Biden "of Israel's efforts to end the escalation of violence in Jerusalem," a press release from the Prime Minister's Office said.
"The president and the prime minister also discussed the Iranian question, and in particular Tehran's request to remove the Islamic Revolutionary Guards from the list of American terrorist organizations," the statement said.
"I am sure that President Biden, a true friend of Israel, concerned about its security, will not be able to remove the Revolutionary Guards from the list of terrorist organizations," Bennett said, according to the statement.
Israel clarified its position on the issue and insisted that the Revolutionary Guards represent "the largest terrorist organization in the world."
During the interview, Biden also "accepted the Prime Minister's invitation and announced that he intended to visit Israel in the coming months," the statement said.
The White House version of the call also noted that the president welcomes the visit of Bennett's national security adviser, Dr. Eyal Hulata, to Washington this week. | https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/diplomacy/1650824019-biden-to-make-first-visit-to-israel-as-president-in-the-coming-months | 2022-04-24T20:09:37Z | https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/diplomacy/1650824019-biden-to-make-first-visit-to-israel-as-president-in-the-coming-months | false | 1 |
