EAGLE PASS — Search crews on Monday recovered the body of a Texas National Guard member who went missing after jumping in the river on the U.S.-Mexico border to help a migrant who was struggling to swim across.
The body of Spc. Bishop Evans was found three days after he was reported missing in the Rio Grande near the border city of Eagle Pass. The local sheriff has said Evans jumped into the river without his jacket or radio to help a woman who appeared in distress while trying to swim over from Mexico.
“Our National Guard soldiers risk their lives every day to serve and protect others and we are eternally grateful for the way SPC Evans heroically served his state and country,“ Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement Monday.
The body was found near the boat ramp of a bridge in Eagle Pass, said Democratic state Sen. Roland Gutierrez, whose district includes Eagle Pass.
Migrant rescues are common in the river along the Texas border, and the attempted crossings are also sometimes deadly. Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber said the bodies of as many as two migrants a week are sometimes found along his county’s section of the river.
Evans was assigned to Abbott’s sprawling border mission known as Operation Lone Star. Gutierrez said Evans is at least the fifth Guard member known to have died during the mission that began last year. He called for an inquest into their deaths. | https://www.heraldbanner.com/news/local_news/crews-recover-body-of-missing-texas-guardsman-on-border/article_39715002-c4c3-11ec-a38e-7392127307d7.html | 2022-04-25T18:49:34Z | https://www.heraldbanner.com/news/local_news/crews-recover-body-of-missing-texas-guardsman-on-border/article_39715002-c4c3-11ec-a38e-7392127307d7.html | false | 14 |

Coca-Cola Co beat quarterly revenue and profit expectations on Monday, helped by higher prices and a rebound in demand for its sodas at theatres and restaurants.
Consumer goods companies have raised prices in the face of soaring costs of ingredients like coffee and sugar, as well as a surge in labour and transportation expenses. But demand has been resilient as consumers coming out of pandemic curbs spend more.
Analysts and companies have warned that demand could slow as the Ukraine war and Indonesia's ban on palm oil exports result in higher global food prices.
The company said suspension of its operations in Russia would impact its annual profit by 4 cents per share and annual net revenue by about 1% to 2%. However, it left its forecast for annual comparable earnings per share growth unchanged at 5% to 6%.

Net revenue rose 16% to $10.5 billion in the first quarter. Analysts had expected revenue of $9.83 billion, according to Refinitiv data.
Net income attributable to Coca-Cola shareholders rose 24% to $2.78 billion, or 64 cents per share, in the three months ended 1 April 2022.
Analysts had expected a profit of 58 cents per share.
Refillable Glass Bottles
The cola giant also warned that consumer demand could slow as rampant inflation shows no sign of cooling and said it was focusing on more affordable and refillable glass bottles in markets facing the biggest pinch from price increases.
To prepare for the expected drop in consumer purchasing power, Coca-Cola said it was expanding the distribution of cheaper returnable or refillable glass bottles in emerging markets in Latin America and Africa.
It is also experimenting with returnable bottles in the Southwest United States.
Demand for sodas and other packaged foods has so far held strong despite price increases that resulted from higher costs for everything from aluminium cans to sugar, labour and transportation.
Coca-Cola chief executive officer James Quincey said the resilience in demand will not last forever.
"I do not expect (price) elasticities to be inelastic going forward. I expect elasticity to increase at some point in the future. Will that be next quarter? Or will that be next year? I can't give you the answer to that," Quincey said on call with analysts.
Procter & Gamble earlier this month said it expected demand for its US feminine, home and oral care products to soften as summer price increases feed through to shop shelves.

The bidding war for Kohl’s is heating up.
The owners of department store chain JCPenney have reportedly made an offer to acquire Kohl’s. According to a report in the New York Post, the proposed deal comes from Simon Property and Brookfield Asset Management, the two entities that bought JCPenney out of bankruptcy in 2020 for $1.75 billion. The deal values Kohl’s at more than $8.6 billion, or $68 per share.
Kohl’s shares were up 3% in the early afternoon on Monday, following the report, which cited “sources close to the talks.” The report also said that Simon Property and Brookfield Asset Management would help Kohl’s cut $1 billion worth of costs over three years while still being run under the Kohl’s banner.
Simon Property, Brookfield Asset Management and Kohl’s did not immediately return FN’s request for comment.
The news represents the latest high-profile takeover bid from an entity looking to acquire Kohl’s.
In March, Kohl’s confirmed that it was weighing offers from multiple parties that were interested in purchasing the company. Macellum Advisors, which owns nearly 5% of shares at Kohl’s, has expressed skepticism about the future of the company and has asked Kohl’s to consider taking an offer to sell its business.
Kohl’s hired Goldman Sachs to engage with potential bidders and discuss alternatives for the business. The company said in a letter to shareholders that it has engaged with over 20 parties regarding non-binding proposals that are without financial commitment.
Earlier this month, Kohl’s reportedly received a takeover bid from Franchise Group, the owner and operator of retail chains such as The Vitamin Shoppe, Buddy’s Home Furnishings, and Pet Supplies Plus. The company reportedly placed a $9 billion offer to acquire the retail chain, Reuters reported.
HBC’s Hudson’s Bay Co., which owns Hudson’s Bay and Saks, also reportedly entered the race for Kohl’s in March with a bid of at least $70 per share, Reuters reported.
In February, Kohl’s rejected two takeover bids, noting that the offers “do not adequately reflect the company’s value in light of its future growth and cash flow generation.”
Private equity firm Sycamore, which had previously been cited as a potential contender, expressed that it was looking to pay around $65 per share for Kohl’s, CNBC reported in February. Acacia Research also reportedly offered to pay about $64 a share for the department store chain.
“An offer for Kohl’s by Simon and Brookfield would be an interesting development in the battle for the department store chain,” said Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData, in a statement. “On the surface, the offer would be far more attractive than other bids on the table, if only because Simon and Brookfield would continue to run Kohl’s as a retailer and would bring some of their retail and operational expertise to the chain.” | https://footwearnews.com/2022/business/mergers-acquisitions/report-jcpenney-owners-bid-to-acquire-kohls-1203278662/ | 2022-04-25T18:56:40Z | https://footwearnews.com/2022/business/mergers-acquisitions/report-jcpenney-owners-bid-to-acquire-kohls-1203278662/ | true | 2 |

A married Home Office worker “laced his pregnant lover’s drink with an abortion drug” to prevent his “double life from crashing down”, a court heard.
Darren Burke, 43, allegedly tried to serve his mistress Laura Slade a spiked glass of orange juice during a discussion about how much he would pay in child maintenance.
Ms Slade, allegedly became suspicious and refused to drink it, later called police to test the glass.
Isleworth Crown Court heard forensics found traces of mifepristone, a medication prescribed by doctors to bring about abortions in the early stages of pregnancy, on the glass.
Burke, who has been suspended from his role as deputy director for the emergency services mobile communications programme at the Home Office, denies supplying a poison and unlawfully administering it to procure a miscarriage.
Prosecutor Paul Jarvis told jurors: “His motive was obvious. If Ms Slade had kept the baby, then his double life would have come crashing down around him.
"There is no way he could have kept the existence of that child a secret from his wife and family.”
The court heard the pair allegedly first met at a nightclub in Kingston, south London, in 2005 and started an affair in 2015.
Burke has one child with his wife and Ms Slade has two children from another relationship, the court heard.
Mr Jarvis said: “Mr Burke’s wife was, it seems, unaware of his relationship with Ms Slade.
“She found out she was pregnant on November 15, 2020 and, on November 16, she sent Mr Burke a Whatsapp message to tell him about the news.”
The court heard there was “some discussion” about Ms Slade terminating the pregnancy and Burke “did not want her to have the baby”.
Mr Jarvis said: “Mr Burke told Ms Slade that they couldn’t keep the baby because it would affect everyone - her children, his child and his wife.
"He wrote he was thinking about Ms Slade, but she rather took the view that he was really thinking of himself.
“Mr Burke replied that if she went through with the pregnancy he would have to leave his wife and family and that would kill them - especially his disabled father who was in hospital.”
Jurors heard Ms Slade allegedly decided she wanted to keep the baby, which was due in July.
On November 24, Burke is said to have messaged Ms Slade to say he was angry with her because he felt she had not taken his views into account.
The prosecutor said: “The exchange continued in a rather acrimonious way.
"There were no further messages between them until December 3.”
The court heard Burke messaged Ms Slade asking if he could come to visit her the next morning and asked if she would like him to bring her a “Starbucks latte or a tea”.
Mr Jarvis said: “It was unusual as he had never made an offer like that before.”
When he arrived he reportedly asked Ms Slade if she wanted a cup of tea, which she refused, but he went into the kitchen and came back with two glasses, jurors heard.

The first contained water and the other a mixture of orange squash and water, the court heard, while Burke himself had a cup of tea.
Mr Jarvis said: “They talked in particular about what name was on the birth certificate for the child and what sort of financial contribution he would make once the child was born.
“It didn’t lead to any particular resolution - instead Mr Burke's main interest was ensuring Mis Slade drank that orange and water mixture. But she would not.
“Mr Burke eventually went into the kitchen and poured that drink away and put his coat on and left.
"His persistence that she should drink it had troubled her.”
Ms Slade is said to have seen a “residue in the rim of the glass” and messaged Burke asking him about it.
He denied lacing the drink and asked Ms Slade if she trusted him, the court heard.
Jurors heard in these messages Burke also described himself as being at “breaking point” and a “f*****g mess”.
Ms Slade reported her suspicions to police the next day and forensic tests found traces of mifepristone.
Mifepristone works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is needed for pregnancy to advance.
Burke was arrested in February 2021 and interviewed, the court heard.
Jurors heard Burke said in interview that he had allegedly bought the abortion drug online “in case Ms Slade decided she wanted to abort the baby”.
Burke is also said to have told officers he took the tablets to Ms Slade’s flat on December 4, but decided to get rid of them when she said she wanted to keep the baby.
Mr Jarvis said: “He was worried her children might find them or the dog. He said he broke them apart and washed them down the sink.
“He says he must have used that empty glass to crush them and rinse them away which would explain why the residue was on the glass.
“His defence is he did not intend to administer the drug to Ms Slade.
The prosecution's case is that these explanations are fantasy - Mr Burke purchased the mifepristone tablets intending to find a way to trick Ms Slade into taking one to suffer a miscarriage.”
The court heard Ms Slade miscarried the baby on Christmas Day but it was not suggested this was related to the incident.

Two men charged with murder have been found not guilty in the case of an alleged targeted hit on a rival gang member that instead killed an innocent couple outside Cranbrook a decade ago.
Gasps coursed through the public gallery as Justice Arne Silverman read an executive summary of his decision in Vancouver Supreme Court, noting that he found reasonable doubt in the Crown’s case.
“I am not satisfied that the two accused persons are innocent. However, I am also not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that they are guilty,” said Justice Silverman.
Colin Raymond Correia and Sheldon Joseph Hunter were charged with first degree murder in a double-homicide that occurred outside Cranbrook in 2010.
The crown theorized it was intended to be a targeted gang hit on a rival gang member that instead killed Leanne Laura MacFarlane and Jeffrey Todd Taylor on May 29, 2010, who were living in the home in a rural area east of Cranbrook at the time.
Eight years later, both Correia and Hunter were arrested a day apart in Edmonton and Drumheller, respectively, before prosecutors announced murder charges on June 11, 2018.
The trial took 150 days of court time, starting with voir dires on evidence in September 2019, with intent to begin proceedings in April 2020. However, pandemic-related delays pushed the start of the trial to September 2020, while closing arguments were made in December.
Correia and Hunter did not testify in their defence.

Good news for Binghamton? Spring snow sends city past Syracuse in Golden Snowball race
Last week's unexpected, record-setting snowstorm allowed Binghamton to pass rival Syracuse in the quest for the Golden Snowball, the award presented each year to the upstate city that receives the most snow.
Binghamton, the defending Golden Snowball champion, was stuck in fourth place, more than 7 inches behind Syracuse, when the rare April storm dropped 14.6 inches of the white stuff on the Greater Binghamton Airport on Monday and Tuesday.
It was the largest two-day April snowfall in Binghamton, surpassing the 13.6 inches that fell April 15-16, 2007, and it pushed the Parlor City past Syracuse and into third place in the five-city competition.
Syracuse received less than two inches of snow from the storm, the National Weather Service said.

Retail closing:Bed Bath & Beyond, an original store at Vestal's Parkway Plaza, to close later this year
Binghamton now has 81.8 inches of snow for the 2021-22 season, while Syracuse has received 76 inches.
Buffalo leads the competition with 96 inches, which is also the tops among cities nationally. Rochester is in second place with 87 inches, the third-most nationally.
Albany trails the other upstate cities with 36.4 inches of snow.
The storm not only helped Binghamton pass Syracuse, it put the city near its average annual snowfall of 85.7 inches.
“(Binghamton) would have been close to 20 inches below normal but with this last snowstorm it pushed us just slightly under average,” said Brian Tentinger, a National Weather Service meteorologist.
Syracuse remains in a snow slump. The 2021-22 season marks the second straight season that the city will finish well below its annual average of nearly 128 inches of snow.
“Usually, Syracuse gets a little more lake effect snow and they just didn’t get into it this year," Tentinger said.
Syracuse did get more snow this year than last, when it received only 70 inches.
Syracuse continues to have the highest average annual snowfall of the five upstate cities with about 127 inches. Rochester is second with an annual average snow total of just over 101 inches, while Buffalo's averages 95 inches annually.
Albany averages 60 inches of snow each year.
Buffalo won't be declared the official winner until June 30, the end of the season, but its lead appears safe, according to the Weather Service.
“There is the potential for maybe a little more snow next week," Tentinger said. "After we warm up it is going to cool down again but whether we will accumulate anything, that is to be seen.”
Binghamton won last year’s title with 103.2 inches of snow. Prior to 2020-21, Binghamton last won the Golden Snowball in 2016-17 when it piled up 135.2 inches of snow. That was also the last time the National Weather Service’s airport site recorded at least 100 inches of snow for the season.
Another notable snow season for Binghamton was 1995-1996, when 134 inches fell.
Buffalo holds the all-time record for a season: 199.4 inches in 1976-77.

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The body of a Texas National Guardsman who had been missing since Friday on the border in Eagle Pass, Texas, has been recovered, the Texas Military Department announced Monday.
Texas National Guard Specialist Bishop E. Evans, who had been assigned to Operation Lone Star in Eagle Pass, died during a mission along the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Abbott said.
Bishop, 22, was from Arlington, Texas. He went missing Friday as he jumped into the river near Eagle Pass to help two migrants who appeared to be drowning, Texas Military Department officials said.
“We are devastated by the loss of a member of our Guard family,” said Maj Gen Tom Suelzer, Adjutant General for Texas. “We recognize the selflessness of this heroic Soldier who put his life above others in service to our state and national security. The Texas Military Department sends our deepest condolences to the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time”
Evans was assigned to A Battery, 4-133 Field Artillery Regiment in New Braunfels, the Texas Military Department said in a statement.
“We are heartbroken to learn of the death of SPC Bishop E. Evans who was reported missing in Eagle Pass on Friday,” Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement. “Our National Guard soldiers risk their lives every day to serve and protect others and we are eternally grateful for the way SPC Evans heroically served his state and country. I thank the members of the Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Border Patrol, and local law enforcement for working around the clock to locate this soldier. The Texas Military Department will continue to provide more updates to the public as they become available. I ask that Texans join Cecilia and me in praying for the family and friends of SPC Evans as they grieve this heartbreaking loss.”
A Republican-led congressional delegation this afternoon plans to visit Eagle Pass and is scheduled to hold a press conference on the ongoing increase in migrants crossing from Mexico into this part of South Texas.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCBD)- Thirteen individuals have been arrested in connection with a law enforcement operation targeting crimes related to human trafficking and prostitution, according to the State Human Trafficking Task Force.
Two of those individuals, Ronald Ford and Oliver Paiz-Arias, were arrested by the Summerville Police Department on April 20. Both were charged with prostitution.
The multi-day sting operation targeted the solicitation of commercial sex in the Lowcountry and Pee Dee regions of the state. Specifically, the operation was conducted around hotels and motels in Summerville, Hardeeville, and Florence.
“As the Chair of the State Human Trafficking Task Force, I cannot highlight enough the importance of law enforcement partnering to address the complexities of this crime,” Attorney General Alan Wilson said. “By stopping the demand for commercial sex, we want to discourage traffickers who hope to profit by supplying victims.”
Additional charges against the suspects included unlawful carry of a handgun, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession with intent to distribute a schedule II narcotic, distribution of cocaine, and distribution of marijuana. Three firearms were also seized by officers during the arrests.
“I want to speak to victims right now,” Summerville Police Chief Doug Wright said during a news conference. “You can get out of this, you’re being manipulated.”
The Summerville Police Department, Charleston Police Department, and Charleston County Sheriff’s Office were among the ten law enforcement agencies involved in the operation.
“SLED and our law enforcement partners continue to take a proactive approach to work crimes related to human trafficking,” Lt. Jade Roy, SLED Human Trafficking Unit said. “We are committed to working with our local, state, and federal partners to thoroughly investigate these crimes.”

"If you don't understand what was happening, then you won't fix it for the next time, so I wanted to be very transparent about what went right and what didn't go right," Birx told "Good Morning America" in an interview Monday.
She described her response to the moment Trump raised the possibility of injecting disinfectant into people to treat COVID-19.
"I'm a pretty direct person, so I immediately went to his most senior staff ... and said this has to be reversed immediately. By the next morning, the president was saying it was a joke. But I think he knew by that even clearly that this was dangerous.

She also noted that she had a pact with Dr. Anthony Fauci, former CDC director Robert Redfield and former FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn.
"If any one of the individuals were under so much pressure and they were fired, we would all leave together from the [White House Coronavirus] task force," she said.

PHENIX CITY, Ala. (WRBL) – A reported robbery with shots fired at the Phenix City Walmart led to an extensive police chase and manhunt in Auburn Sunday night and into early Monday morning. Police have one suspect in custody and are still searching for a second.
Phenix City Police say Sunday, April 25, at 9:24 pm, officers were called to Walmart, located at 3700 US HWY 280/431 N, about a robbery and shots fired. Investigators say there were no injuries. The offender had already left the scene in a Silver2015 KIA Optima. A BOLO was put out for the vehicle.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office later contacted the vehicle in the area of Bleeker Junction, where a chase ensued, ending in a crash along Wrights Mill Road in Auburn. A helicopter hovered over Chewacla State Park just before midnight and into Monday morning as Auburn police and investigators searched for a man, believed to be armed, who ran away from the crash site.
Police say Shemekia Brooks was arrested for Robbery 1st and was taken into police custody after the crash.
The second suspect, Deuante Levon Richardson, fled the crash scene on foot. He has not been located and has two outstanding warrants for his arrest, for Robbery 1st and Carrying a Pistol without a License.

IPL 2022 Match 38: Shikhar Dhawan trumps Ambati Rayudu PBKS beat CSK
Flamboyant opener Shikhar Dhawan struck a magnificent 88 not out to trump Ambati Rayudu in the battle of batting heroics
Flamboyant opener Shikhar Dhawan struck a magnificent 88 not out to trump Ambati Rayudu in the battle of batting heroics as Punjab Kings beat Chennai Super Kings by 11 runs in an IPL thriller on Monday.
Dhawan hit nine fours and two sixes in his 59-ball superlative unbeaten knock to power Punjab to 187 for 4 after being asked to bat. Punjab then restricted CSK to 176 for 6 despite a stunning 39-ball 78 from Rayudu, studded with seven fours and six sixes. Dhawan also became only the second batter after Virat Kohli to complete 6,000 runs in IPL history.
Rayudu hit three consecutive sixes and a four to take 23 runs from the 16th over bowled by Sandeep Sharma (1/40) after CSK needed 70 runs from the last five overs. But Arshdeep Singh conceded just six runs in the next over and eight in the 19th to tilt the scale towards Punjab. After Rayudu was out in the 18th over off Kagiso Rabada (2/23), CSK still needed 35 runs from 13 balls and the great finisher Mahendra Singh Dhoni (12) joined captain Ravindra Jadeja (21 not out) in the middle.
CSK needed 27 from the final over and another stage was set for Dhoni to repeat his stupendous finishing act against Mumbai Indians in their previous match. Dhoni hit Rishi Dhawan (2/39) for a six in the first ball but two balls later, the legendary wicketkeeper batter was caught at deep midwicket as it was all over for CSK. This was CSK's sixth loss in eight matches while Punjab notched up their fourth win in eight games. CSK began their run chase on a woeful note as they lost Robin Uthappa (1) in the first over, followed by Mitchell Santner (9) in the second, as the defending champions could only score 32 from the powerplay overs.
Shivam Dube showed promise but then his innings lasted just eight balls and seven runs as CSK were reduced to 40 for 3 in seven overs. With the asking rate crossing 11 an over so early, somebody had to get the boundaries for CSK and here veteran Rayudu showed his class. He hit a big six off Rishi Dhawan to take CSK to 69 for 3 at halfway mark. He kept on attacking the Punjab bowlers with another six off Liam Livingstone as CSK had some momentum going with the combination of Rayudu and Ruturaj Gaikwad (30).
But the duo parted ways with Gaikwad getting out in the 13th over. But Rayudu was going great guns, reaching his fifty from 28 balls with a six off Rahul Chahar. It was still not an easy proposition for CSK as they needed 70 from the final overs. Earlier, the 36-year-old Dhawan struck his second fifty of the season and anchored the Punjab innings. He combined with Sri Lankan Bhanuka Rajapaksa (42) for a 110-run stand for the second wicket from 11.3 overs after captain Mayank Agarwal's early dismissal.
Dhawan went past his earlier highest score this season -- 70 against Mumbai Indians in Pune. Dhawan got an able ally in Rajapaksa who made 42 from 32 balls with the help of two fours and as many sixes as the duo frustrated the CSK bowlers for a long stretch in the innings. Englishman Liam Livingstone, who was bought for Rs 11.5 crore in the IPL auction, played a little cameo of 19 runs off seven balls with the help of a four and two sixes towards the end to swell the Punjab total.
Punjab made a slow start after being sent in to bat and their captain Agarwal's struggles this season continued as he was out in the sixth over for 18 off 21 balls. They reached 37 for 1 after powerplay overs. Dhawan and Rajapaksa kept the scoreboard ticking with singles and doubles though without too many boundaries. The duo took Punjab to 72 for 1 at the halfway mark. The advantage for Punjab was that they lost just one wicket in the first half of their innings and they capitalised on that later in the back-end. They added 64 runs in the final five overs. | https://thebridge.in/cricket/ipl-2022-shikhar-dhawan-trumps-ambati-rayudu-pbks-beat-csk-30969 | 2022-04-25T19:20:37Z | https://thebridge.in/cricket/ipl-2022-shikhar-dhawan-trumps-ambati-rayudu-pbks-beat-csk-30969 | true | 9 |
Cuttack, Apr 25 (PTI) The Orissa High Court Monday directed three Union secretaries and the Chairman of the Railway Board to resolve the crisis of coal supply to National Aluminum Company's smelter plant at Angul and its Alumina refinery at Damanjodi in 24 hours.
A Division Bench headed by Chief Justice S Muralidhar ordered “since the essential dispute concerns two Central PSUs-MCL and NALCO, and also involves the role of the Railways, the court considers it appropriate to direct that the Secretary, Power, the Secretary, Coal, the Secretary, Mines and the Chairman, Railway Board, will sit together in virtual or hybrid mode with the Managing Directors of the MCL and NALCO not later than 6 pm (April 26) to find the way for resolving the crisis to ensure that the smelter plant of NALCO at Angul and its Alumina refinery at Damanjodi are not pushed to the brink of a shutdown.”

The dry fuel scarcity issue was brought to the notice of the High Court by the Nalco Officers' Association and the court had directed the Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL) last week to consider the request of the country's biggest aluminium manufacturer on a priority basis.
When the matter came up for adjudication on Monday, counsel for the NALCO informed the Court that coal supply from the MCL had come down by 60 per cent of the contracted demand and coal stocks available with the alumina major can keep its units going only for three more days.
On the other hand, counsel for the MCL submitted that the coal company should not be compelled to supply dry fuel only to NALCO through rakes as MCL is also required to supply the fossil fuel to other power plants as well.
The MCL counsel also urged the Court to direct NALCO to lift coal from MCL's pit at Bharatpur, about 20 km from the smelter plant, either by road or by ‘Merry Go Round' (MGR), a dedicated rail line connecting the coalmine pit head with NALCO's smelter plant.
Meanwhile, the HC received two other writ petitions in which the Utkal Chamber of Commerce and District Small Scale Manufacturing Enterprises expressed apprehensions that MSMEs in the state would suffer if the power supply was reduced due to the non-availability of coal for thermal power plants.

Reds host Padres looking for first winning streak
Article content
The Cincinnati Reds will look to build a winning streak for the first time in 2022 while the visiting San Diego Padres will aim to start their eight-game road trip on a winning note when the clubs meet Tuesday.
On Sunday, the Reds ended their 11-game skid with a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. It was Cincinnati’s first home victory in five tries, snapping their longest home losing streak to open a season since 1955. The Reds, who have the three-game series with San Diego left on their six-game homestand, have yet to post consecutive wins.

“A lot of celebration going on (Sunday),” Reds manager David Bell said. “It was obviously a big win. Our guys have been doing everything they can to win a game, fighting through it and battling.”
The Reds have been doing plenty of battling in their 3-13 start, most notably the injury bug that has landed 11 players on the injured list, including starters Jonathan India and Tyler Stephenson.
Stephenson, the Reds regular catcher, was placed under concussion protocol after Luke Voit collided with him at home plate and tried to knock the ball loose. Instead, Voit slammed Stephenson’s head into the ground in San Diego’s win last Tuesday.
“We’re being very cautious, as you can imagine,” Bell said. “Getting better each day, trending in the right direction, but not going to be ready to play. He might not even go on the (next) road trip (but) that’s not a sign he’s going to be out long term or anything.”

On the bright side, India could return for the opener Tuesday against the Padres after missing time with a right hamstring strain. He’s been testing it in baserunning drills and has reported no setbacks.
“It’s not an excuse, it’s just a fact,” Bell said of the injuries. “When you’re losing, it’s always a combination of factors. We’re missing key guys who are significant parts of this team. That affects everyone. Our focus is getting those guys back as soon as we can, and winning games until that happens.”
Last week, the Padres swept the Reds as part of Cincinnati’s winless seven-game road swing through Los Angeles and San Diego. Now, it’s the Padres’ turn on the road, beginning with three in Cincinnati, three in Pittsburgh and two in Cleveland.

Joe Musgrove (2-0, 1.89 ERA) will head to the hill for San Diego in the opener in hopes of repeating his last outing against Cincinnati at Petco Park. The right-hander struck out seven and walked one, allowing just two runs on four hits in 6 1/3 innings. He earned the win in San Diego’s 6-2 victory last Tuesday.
The Reds will counter with lefty Reiver Sanmartin (0-2, 7.11). Sanmartin was the opposing pitcher to Musgrove last week and could not hold a rare early lead for the Reds. He surrendered five runs on eight hits, striking out four and walking one, taking the loss. After going 2-0 in his rookie season call up last September, he has lost both starts in 2022.
The Padres didn’t commit an error in their first 16 games, an MLB record to start a season. On Sunday, during a 10-2 home loss to the Dodgers, they committed two, leading to a pair of unearned runs.
“We haven’t played a sloppy game like that across the board this year,” manager Bob Melvin said. “It doesn’t feel good. But you move on.”

Poland has sent tanks to Ukraine, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Monday without giving any further details. Ukraine has repeatedly called on the West to urgently supply more weapons, especially heavy equipment, as Russian forces continued their offensive in the country.
"Yes," Morawiecki said when asked if Poland had or would send tanks to Ukraine. He declined to reveal any further details including the number of tanks sent. In March Poland said it was ready to deploy all its MiG-29 jets to Ramstein Air Base in Germany and put them at the disposal of the United States, but Washington rejected a surprise offer.
"There is no such necessity, there are no such demands, there are no such requests," Morawiecki said when asked if sending planes to Ukraine was still being considered.

Twitter in talks with Elon Musk to purchase platform
Twitter’s board and Tesla chief executive Elon Musk negotiated into the early hours of Monday over his bid to buy the social media platform, The New York Times has reported.
Mr Musk said last week that he has lined up 46.5 billion dollars (£36.2 billion) in financing to buy Twitter, putting pressure on the company’s board to negotiate a deal.
The Times, citing people with knowledge of the situation whom it did not identify, said the two sides were discussing details including a timeline and fees if an agreement was signed but then fell apart. The sources said the situation was fluid and fast-moving.
Twitter had enacted an anti-takeover measure known as a poison pill which could make a takeover attempt prohibitively expensive. But the board decided to negotiate after Mr Musk updated his proposal to show he had secured financing, according to The Wall Street Journal, which was first to report the negotiations were under way.
On April 14, Mr Musk announced an offer to buy the social media platform for 54.20 dollars (£42.20) per share, or about 43 billion dollars (£33.5 billion), but did not say at the time how he would finance the acquisition.
Last week, he said in documents filed with US securities regulators that the money would come from Morgan Stanley and other banks, some of it secured by his huge stake in the electric car maker.
Twitter has not commented.
Mr Musk has said he wants to buy Twitter because he does not feel it is living up to its potential as a platform for free speech.
In recent weeks, he has voiced a number of proposed changes for the company, from relaxing its content restrictions – such as the rules that suspended former President Donald Trump’s account – to ridding the platform of its problems with fake and automated accounts.
Mr Musk is the world’s wealthiest person, according to Forbes, with a near 279 billion dollar (£217.2 billion) fortune. But much of his money is tied up in Tesla stock – he owns about 17% of the company, according to FactSet, which is valued at more than 1 trillion dollars (£778.5 billion) – and SpaceX, his privately held space company. It is unclear how much cash he has.

Stymied in their calls for a renewed investigation into the killing of Emmett Till, relatives and activists are advocating another possible path toward accountability in Mississippi: They want authorities to launch a kidnapping prosecution against the woman who set off the lynching by accusing the Black Chicago teen of improper advances in 1955.
Carolyn Bryant Donham was named nearly 67 years ago in a warrant that accused her in Till’s abduction, even before his mangled body was found in a river, FBI records show, yet she was never arrested or brought to trial in a case that shocked the world for its brutality.
Authorities at the time said the woman had two young children and they did not want to bother her. Donham’s then-husband and another man were acquitted of murder.
Make no mistake: Relatives of Till still prefer a murder prosecution. But there is no evidence the kidnapping warrant was ever dismissed, so it could be used to arrest Donham and finally get her before a criminal court, said Jaribu Hill, an attorney working with the Till family.
“This warrant is a stepping stone toward that,” she said. “Because warrants do not expire, we want to see that warrant served on her.”
There are plenty of roadblocks. Witnesses have died in the decades since Till was lynched, and it’s unclear what happened to evidence collected by investigators. Even the location of the original warrant is a mystery. It could be in boxes of old courthouse records in Leflore County, Mississippi, where the abduction occurred.
A relative of Till said it’s long past time for someone to arrest Donham in Till’s kidnapping, if not for the slaying itself.
“Mississippi is not the Mississippi of 1955, but it seems to still carry some of that era of protecting the white woman,” said Deborah Watts, a distant cousin of Till who runs the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation.
Now in her late 80s and most recently living in Raleigh, North Carolina, Donham has not commented publicly on calls for her prosecution. She did not seem to know she had been named in an arrest warrant in Till’s abduction until decades later, said Dale Killinger, a retired FBI agent who questioned her more than 15 years ago.
“I think she didn’t recall it,” he said. “She acted surprised.”
The Justice Department closed its most recent investigation of the killing in December, when the agency said Donham had denied an author’s claim that she had recanted her claims about Till doing something improper to her in the store where she worked in the town of Money. The writer could not produce any recordings or transcripts to back up the allegation, authorities said.
Till relatives met in March with officials including District Attorney Dewayne Richardson, the lead prosecutor in Leflore County, but left unsatisfied, Watts said. “There doesn’t seem to be the determination or courage to do what needs to be done,” she said.
Richardson has been in office for about 15 years and was the first Black person to serve as president of the Mississippi Prosecutors Association. He did not return phone messages or emails seeking comment about a potential kidnapping case.
Keith Beauchamp, a filmmaker whose documentary “The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till” preceded a renewed Justice Department probe that ended without charges in 2007, said there’s enough evidence to prosecute Donham.
“If we’re saying we are a country of truth and justice, we must get truth and justice … no matter the age or gender of the person involved,'” said Beauchamp.
Stories about the events that led to Till’s killing have varied through the years, but the woman known at the time as Carolyn Bryant was always at the center of it, said author Devery Anderson, who obtained original FBI files on the case while researching his 2015 book “Emmett Till: The Murder That Shocked the World and Propelled the Civil Rights Movement.”
Till was a 14-year-old from Chicago visiting relatives in Mississippi when he entered the store on Aug. 24, 1955; Donham, then 21, was working inside. A Till relative who was there at the time, Wheeler Parker, told The Associated Press that Till whistled at the woman. Donham testified that Till grabbed her.
Two nights later, Donham’s then-husband, Roy Bryant, and his half-brother, J.W. Milam, showed up armed at the rural home of Till’s great-uncle, Mose Wright, looking for the youth.
Wright testified in 1955 that a person with a voice “lighter” than a man’s identified Till from inside a pickup truck and the abductors took him away. Other evidence in FBI files indicates that earlier that night, Donham told her husband that at least two other Black men were not the right person.
Authorities already had obtained warrants charging the two men and Donham with kidnapping before Till’s body was found in the Tallahatchie River, FBI files show, but police never arrested Donham.
“We aren’t going to bother the woman,” Leflore County Sheriff George Smith told reporters, “she’s got two small boys to take care of.”
Roy Bryant and Milam were quickly indicted on murder charges and they were acquitted by an all-white jury in Tallahatchie County about two weeks later.
Grand jurors in neighboring Leflore County refused to indict the men on kidnapping charges afterward, effectively ending the threat of prosecution for Roy Bryant and Milam. Both men have been dead for decades, leaving Donham as the lone survivor who was directly involved.
Killinger, the retired federal agent, said he saw neither the original warrant during his investigation nor any indication that it was ever canceled by a court, and it’s unclear whether it could be used today to arrest or try Donham. Even if authorities located the original paperwork with sworn statements detailing evidence, he said, courts need witnesses to testify.
“And it’s my understanding that all those people are dead,” Killinger said.

About the Excelsior Springs Project
The Excelsior Springs project (the "Excelsior Springs Project") mining claims, located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, cover an area of 3.5 km2 including the historic Buster mine, which had estimated historical production of 18,000 tonnes (T) at 37.3 grams gold per tonne (g Au/T) gold to a maximum depth of 70 m. The Excelsior Springs Project is located in the Walker Lane tectonic zone of southern Nevada, which hosts a number of large historic gold mines. Total gold production from the Walker Lane tectonic zone has exceeded 20 million ounces (Moz) including notable deposits by Goldfields (5 Moz), Bullfrog (2 Moz), Tonopah (2 Moz), Mineral Ridge (1.5 Moz) and Comstock (8 Moz Au, 200 Moz Ag).
The reports of past production on the Excelsior Springs Project are historical in nature and may not accurately indicate the extent or grade of mineralization present at the Excelsior Springs Project. Although the Company believes the source of the historical information to be generally reliable, such information is subject to interpretation and cannot be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data and other inherent limitations and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned that the Company has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in any of the above-mentioned properties, other than the Excelsior Springs Project, and that the mineral deposits, and the results of any mining thereof, on adjacent or similar properties are not indicative of mineral deposits on the Excelsior Springs Project or any potential exploitation thereof.
From the mid-1980s through 2011, several exploration companies conducted drilling programs at the Excelsior Springs Project, primarily on the patented claims, that began to define the near-surface Buster Mine gold zone. Gold mineralization at the Excelsior Springs Project occurs within an east-west trending zone that is 200 to 400m wide and at least 3 km long.
Gold mineralization discovered at the Excelsior Springs Project to date occurs in quartz vein stock-works and silicified zones in hornfels and calc-silicate altered country rock and is generally close to porphyry dykes. The best mineralization (grade and thickness) is found in altered sediments immediately above porphyry dykes that have intruded along existing east- and east-northeast trending faults. Some mineralized stock-work vein zones are shallow and have a relatively flat plunge, making them amenable to open pit mining methods.
Most historical exploration at the Excelsior Springs Project has focused on a 2.5 km long section in the central part of the Buster zone where mineralization is at or near the surface. Surface mapping and an Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey conducted by Zonge International Inc identified multiple zones of silicification that correlate well with the known mineralization. Many of the silicified zones defined by the IP (resistivity highs) surveys have not been tested by drilling and remain targets for future exploration.

Cautionary Statement to U.S. Investors
This press release references NI 43-101, which differs from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") permits mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can legally extract or produce. Pursuant to SEC Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, a "final" or "bankable" feasibility study is required to report reserves. Currently Athena has not delineated "reserves" on any of its properties. Athena cannot be certain that any deposits at its properties will ever be confirmed or converted into SEC Industry Guide 7 or any successor rule or regulation compliant "reserves". Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the historic Buster Mine gold zone will ever be confirmed or converted into reserves or that it can be economically or legally extracted.
The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These amendments became effective February 25, 2019, with compliance required for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021, and historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7 will be rescinded from and after such date.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein including, without limitation, statements regarding the expected use of proceeds from the Offering, future results from exploration, and the anticipated business plans and timing of future activities of the Company, are forward-looking statements.

The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements by the Company are not guarantees of future results or performance, and that actual results may differ materially from those in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, operating and technical difficulties in connection with mineral exploration and development activities, actual results of exploration activities, the estimation or realization of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the inability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing required to conduct its business and affairs, as currently contemplated, the timing and amount of estimated future production, the costs of production, capital expenditures, the costs and timing of the development of new deposits, requirements for additional capital, future prices of precious metals, changes in general economic conditions, changes in the financial markets and in the demand and market price for commodities, lack of investor interest in future financings, accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the mining industry, delays in obtaining governmental approvals, permits or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, risks relating to epidemics or pandemics such as COVID-19, including the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, changes in laws, regulations and policies affecting mining operations, title disputes, the inability of the Company to obtain any necessary permits, consents, approvals or authorizations, including of the Canadian Securities Exchange, the timing and possible outcome of any pending litigation, environmental issues and liabilities, and other factors and risks that are discussed in the Company's periodic filings with the SEC and disclosed in the final long form prospectus of the Company dated August 31, 2021.

MADRID (AP) — Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t seem bothered by hearing that Real Madrid isn’t the favorite against Manchester City in the Champions League semifinals.
That has happened a couple of times already this season, and he knows the 13-time European champions can do just fine.
Madrid visits Man City in the first leg of the semifinals on Tuesday, hoping to return to the final for the first time since winning its last title in 2018.
“People said that there were two teams in the semifinals that nobody believed would make it this far — Real Madrid and Villarreal,” Ancelotti said Monday. “And here we are, thrilled to have made it. Madrid will always compete, it’s what we always do.”
Madrid eliminated Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16, getting the best of Kylian Mbappé, Neymar and Lionel Messi, then defeated defending champion Chelsea in the quarterfinals.
“We’ve had some very tough opponents so far, who in the beginning were considered the favorites to win the competition, but we’ve done well against them and tomorrow we will try to compete well again, there’s no doubt about that,” the Madrid coach said.
Madrid is in the semifinals for the 10th time in 12 seasons, and first time since being eliminated by Chelsea at this stage last year. The team is making a record 15th semifinal appearance.
Ancelotti may be without two regular starters because of muscle injuries on Tuesday — defender David Alaba and midfielder Casemiro. Both made the trip to England but it was unclear if they would play.
“It’s more likely that Alaba can make it, not so much Casemiro,” Ancelotti said. “He is trying. We’ll see.”
The coach has a few options to replace Casemiro, with Federico Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga able to play in the position. Nacho Fernández would likely be the replacement to Alaba in the middle of the defense.
“I always give my best and I play wherever the coach wants me to play,” Valverde said. “We are all prepared.”
Ancelotti said he didn’t think Madrid will have much of an advantage for not having played this weekend in the Spanish league, nor for having all-but-clinched the league title while Man City remains in contention in the Premier League.
Some of the spotlight on Tuesday will be on Madrid striker Karim Benzema, who has scored 15 goals in his last 11 games and is one shy of the Champions League’s leading scorer this season, Robert Lewandowski.
The France striker was key for Madrid against PSG and Chelsea. He scored a second-half hat trick in the second leg against PSG and another in the first leg against Chelsea. He also netted the decisive second-leg goal against Chelsea in extra time.
In the other semifinal matchup, Liverpool hosts Villarreal in the first leg on Wednesday.

The Island, out May 17, 2022, is the highly anticipated follow-up to his #1 breakout bestseller The Chain
NEW YORK, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Adrian McKinty's remarkable story has inspired people all over the world. His novel, THE CHAIN, written when he was broke, homeless, and driving an UBER to provide for his family, became a global phenomenon, a New York Times bestseller (in hardcover, paperback and mass market), a #1 international bestseller that sold in forty-three countries around the world, an acclaimed novel that made more than twenty-five "best book of the year" lists including that of Time magazine, the winner of five major international awards, and will soon be a major motion picture from Universal Pictures with visionary film director Edgar Wright at the helm (Baby Driver, Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz).
Bruce Nichols, Publisher of Little, Brown and Company, announced today the publication of THE ISLAND, Adrian McKinty's magnificent new thriller, after acquiring McKinty's next two books in a seven-figure worldwide deal for from Shane Salerno at The Story Factory. Nichols commented, "Adrian McKinty is a master at creating high-stakes, white-knuckle dramas in which family members go to extraordinary lengths to protect one another—even in the most extreme of circumstances. THE ISLAND is a page-turner like no other."
Now Adrian McKinty's inspiring story continues with the worldwide release of The Island on May 17, 2022. Another harrowing thriller that draws from McKinty's determination to do what it takes to keep his family safe, and his experiences parenting through uncertainty, the book has already received widespread praise from major authors, including Don Winslow, and from booksellers, early readers, and the media, with two consecutive starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Booklist.
THE ISLAND focuses on a young stepmother who will stop at nothing to save her family. The story centers on newly married Heather Baxter as she heads out on a trip to Australia with her doctor husband, Tom, and his two teens, Olivia and Owen. At first, the trip is a dream come true. Heather's never traveled outside of the US before. And she's been struggling to connect with her new stepchildren. But as on any family vacation, little goes as planned—the weather is too hot, the kids soon bored, and the promised koalas nowhere to be seen. When their spontaneous visit to a remote island leads to a horrific accident, Heather must make a decision that changes everything. Soon they are on the run for their lives, through a gauntlet that tops even THE CHAIN for its sheer intensity and breakneck pace.
Adrian McKinty says, "The last few years of my life have been a whirlwind experience. After seventeen books, I became an overnight success just before my fiftieth birthday. It's been an incredible journey and completely overwhelming all at once. I'm so grateful for how readers around the world have embraced THE CHAIN and if you loved THE CHAIN I think you will absolutely love THE ISLAND."
Hulu recently acquired the television rights to THE ISLAND in a major seven-figure deal that was announced on Deadline Hollywood and widely picked up.
At the same time, Universal Pictures is moving toward production with the film adaptation of The Chain from director Edgar Wright (Baby Driver) and screenwriter Jane Goldman (Kick Ass, X-Men: First Class, Kingsman: The Secret Service) and six-time Oscar nominated producer Eric Fellner of Working Title Pictures.
About Adrian McKinty:
Adrian McKinty was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He studied philosophy on a full scholarship at Oxford University before moving to Australia and to New York. He is the author of more than a dozen crime novels, including the Dagger and Edgar-award nominated debut Dead I Well May Be, the critically acclaimed Sean Duffy series, and the award-winning standalone thriller The Chain, which was a New York Times and #1 international bestseller.

Advanced praise for Adrian McKinty and The Island:
"Deliverance meets The Road Warrior in this harrowing survival thriller set in Australia from bestseller McKinty (The Chain). Heather, a 24-year-old Seattle massage therapist, has recently married surgeon Tom Baxter, a widower who's 20 years her senior. She's also taken on the responsibility of caring for Tom's children, 14-year-old Olivia and 12-year-old Owen. Olivia and Owen view Heather as "too young to be a real mom," and Heather agrees. When Tom is invited to give the keynote speech at a medical conference in Melbourne, he packs up the family, saying they can make a mini vacation of the trip. Given the incessant demands of the kids to see koalas and kangaroos, Tom agrees to pay an exorbitant sum to take a ferry to a small private island, which turns out to be the home of the unsavory O'Neil family. A penknife Heather received as a gift from an Aboriginal man on the mainland comes in handy after an accidental road death leads the vengeful O'Neils to target the Baxters. How Heather and the children wind up pooling their abilities to stay alive against all odds makes for an exhilarating ride. McKinty is a master of suspense."–Starred review, Publishers Weekly
"Wow, this book left me breathless and on the edge of my seat from the very first page—this is thriller writing of a high order. Gripping and unpredictable, prepare to be hooked and pumped full of adrenaline as McKinty deftly weaves a compulsively readable plot with characters that you are rooting for. No one does high- stakes tension like McKinty. Put The Island at the top of your TBR—you won't regret it."
—Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author of The Sanatorium
"Heart-stoppingly tense and unpredictable, The Island twists a family vacation to a nightmarish breaking point. Adrian McKinty has written another irresistible and pulse-pounding thriller about the surprising places evil hides and just how far we'll go for those we love."
—Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author
"McKinty's The Chain (2019) ran the table in terms of sales and critical acclaim, and now he's delivered another knockout stand-alone. A trip to Australia seemed like an opportunity for Tom Baxter, a Seattle doctor, and his new wife, the much-younger Heather, to help Tom's two teen children, Owen and Olivia, get over the death of their mother only a year ago. First mistake: in search of koalas, they pay a scruffy group of men, part of the O'Neill clan, to ferry them to the isolated Dutch Island. Second mistake: Tom, driving too fast, runs over a young woman. Third mistake: they hide the body and try to escape before the creepy O'Neills figure out what happened. Of course, they're captured, and after Tom is knifed by the dead woman's husband, Heather, Owen, and Olivia hightail it into the forbidding landscape surrounding the O'Neill compound. Fortunately, they have resources they don't immediately recognize: Heather knows a thing or two about survival, and the kids are both whip smart, if only they could stop hating Heather. The chase that ensues under the blistering Australian sun is expertly choreographed and breathlessly exciting, but the novel hits another level entirely through McKinty's portrayal of the developing relationship between Heather and the teens (whom she initially didn't want in her life anymore than they wanted her). The family-in-peril story is a familiar trope, but here both the peril and the family are like no other. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: The Chain was McKinty's breakthrough novel in 2019, and this one, accompanied by a major national media campaign, could be every bit as big." — Bill Ott, Booklist (starred review)

An Air Force major general in Ohio has been convicted by a military judge of one of three specifications of abusive sexual contact in the first-ever military trial of an Air Force general.
The charge faced by Maj. Gen. William Cooley during the weeklong court-martial at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio had three specifications, one alleging a forcible kiss and two alleging forcible touching in 2018. Cooley was convicted Saturday of the forcible kissing specification but acquitted of the other two.
Officials said the verdict marks the first court-martial trial and conviction of a general officer in the Air Force’s 75-year history.
A former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory, Cooley was charged with abusive sexual contact in an encounter with a woman who gave him a ride after a backyard barbecue in New Mexico nearly four years ago. Officials said the woman is a civilian who is not a Department of Defense employee.
Cooley was to be sentenced Monday morning and could face as much as seven years in jail as well as loss of rank, pay and benefits.
Cooley had the option of a trial by court member jurors or by a military judge, and chose to have the case heard by the judge.
“Today marks the first time an Air Force general officer has been held responsible for his heinous actions,” the woman’s attorney Ryan Guilds, said in a statement, the Dayton Daily News reported. “… Hopefully, this will not be as difficult for the next survivor.”
Cooley was fired from his research laboratory position in January 2020 after an Air Force investigation and has worked in an administrative job since then. A message seeking comment was left for his attorney Saturday.
“This case clearly demonstrates the commitment of Air Force leaders to fully investigate the facts and hold airmen of any rank accountable for their actions when they fail to uphold Air Force standards,” Col. Eric Mejia, staff judge advocate for the Air Force Materiel Command, said in a statement.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A man who voted in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts in the 2016 general election has been ordered to pay nearly $5,000 in fines and penalties.
Todd Krysiak, 39, was charged in June 2019 and pleaded guilty Friday to voting in more than one state. He was given a 90-day suspended sentence and ordered to pay a $4,000 fine, plus a $960 penalty. According to prosecutors, he cast ballots in both Alton, New Hampshire, and Leominster, Massachusetts, on Nov. 6, 2016.
Krysiak was registered as a Republican in Alton, according to the 2016 voter checklist. His attorney did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/New-Hampshire-man-pleads-guilty-to-voting-in-2-17125267.php | 2022-04-25T19:43:57Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/New-Hampshire-man-pleads-guilty-to-voting-in-2-17125267.php | false | null |
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — After efforts to restrict the use of natural gas in future commercial building heating systems in Washington stalled in the Legislature, the state's Building Code Council adopted revisions to the state's energy code that require new businesses and apartments to mostly use heat pumps to warm air and water starting next year.
The Spokesman-Review reported that the council approved the changes on an 11-3 vote Friday. The new rules take effect on July 1, 2023.
Under the revised code, new commercial buildings would have to use heat pumps for space heating. The plan would effectively ban HVAC systems that use fossil fuels like natural gas – including most standard furnaces – or systems that use electric resistance, such as baseboard heaters, wall heaters, radiant heat systems and electric furnaces. Certain exceptions allow electric resistance to be used in specific situations as approved by a code official and some exceptions also would be allowed for space heating using a fossil fuel.
For water heating, 50% of water must be warmed by a heat pump system, while the rest can be heated by an additional source like electric resistance or fossil fuels.
In her vote to approve the code revisions, board member and executive director of Spokane’s Community Building Foundation Katy Sheehan voted cited the need to address climate change and a state-mandated goal of improving energy efficiency while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
"Taking a small step forward in reducing our natural gas usage is one way to reach our goal that we’re mandated to get to,” she said.
Board member and Spokane County Commissioner Al French voted no, saying it should ultimately be up to the Legislature to set the code.
Associations representing builders opposed the limitations, citing challenges it would impose on construction and the electrical grid, while environmental advocates saw the changes as necessary to combat climate change.
Similar heat pump proposals are being made for the residential section of the state energy code, and will be considered by the council over the next few months. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Gas-heating-in-new-commercial-buildings-17125307.php | 2022-04-25T19:44:36Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Gas-heating-in-new-commercial-buildings-17125307.php | false | 12 |

Editor's note: This story contains profanity.
FAIRFAX, Va. — Jurors in Johnny Depp's libel lawsuit against his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, on Monday heard audio recordings in which he referred to the violence that could ensue if their arguments were allowed to escalate.
"The next move, if I don't walk away ... it's going to be a bloodbath, like it was on the island," Depp says on the recording.
In other audio clips, Depp loudly shouts vulgarities at his wife, calling her a degrading name and yelling, "You stupid f—-" at her.
Depp winced on the stand as the clips were played, while Heard appeared to fight back tears.
Depp is suing Heard for libel over a 2018 op-ed piece she wrote in The Washington Post. She refers to herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse."
The clips were part of a grueling cross-examination of Depp that concluded late Monday morning, as he took the stand for a fourth day of testimony over his allegations that Heard falsely portrayed him as a domestic abuser.
Heard's lawyers continued their onslaught of questions during their cross-examination, focusing on Depp's drinking, drug use and charged interactions with Heard during their relationship.
Questions centered on audio clips and text messages
During Monday's testimony, Depp actually said very little, although on redirect he did seek to explain some of his coarse language and again denied that he cut off his own finger during a fight with Heard, even though he told people as much at the time. He now says the finger was severed when Heard threw a vodka bottle at him.
"Why would I start lopping off digits in my 50s?" he said, showing his right hand to the jury. "I can't take responsibility for what I now call Little Richard, my chopped finger."
Most of the questioning consisted of Ben Rottenborn, Heard's lawyer, playing audio clips or reading vulgar text messages sent by Depp and asking Depp if he'd read them correctly.
Throughout the cross-examination, Depp showed his displeasure with Rottenborn's questions. When Rottenborn interrupted one response, Depp said, "I was talking." When Rottenborn said he considered the question to be fully answered, Depp responded, "as long as you're happy."
Depp also expressed disapproval as Rottenborn read headlines from a series of negative articles written about the actor, some dating back to 2014.
"These are all hit pieces. These are dreck," Depp said.
Rottenborn introduced the articles to try to demonstrate that the 2018 Post article at the center of the case is not what damaged his reputation, but instead a long history of bad behavior.
Trial has focused on ugly details of brief marriage
While the libel lawsuit is supposed to center on whether Depp was defamed in the article, most of the trial has focused on ugly details of the couple's brief marriage. Depp denies ever striking Heard, while Heard's attorneys argue that Depp physically and sexually abused her and that his denials lack merit because he was often drunk and high to the point of blacking out.
Depp was last on the stand on Thursday. Heard's attorneys referenced his history of trashing hotel rooms as well as the time he smashed a bathroom sconce during an argument with Heard. Depp is also facing a lawsuit filed by a member of a film crew who alleges the actor assaulted them in 2018.
The jury has seen dozens of Depp's texts to friends regarding his drinking, drug use and interactions with his then-wife, as well as his notes of contrition to Heard and her father.
Depp said the accusations and the Post article contributed to an unfairly ruined reputation that made him a Hollywood outcast and cost him his role in the lucrative Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise. Heard's attorneys say Depp's damaged reputation is the result of his own bad behavior.
Depp has been on the stand in Fairfax County Circuit Court since Tuesday afternoon. The actor has testified that Heard abused drugs and that she was the one who physically attacked him. He called the drug addiction accusations against him "grossly embellished," though he acknowledged taking many drugs.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal by Kansas to revive a law, earlier struck down by lower courts, that banned secret filming at slaughterhouses and other livestock facilities.
The justices did not comment in leaving in place a ruling by a federal appeals court panel that the so-called ag-gag law violated the First Amendment by stifling speech critical of animal agriculture.
A three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a split decision ruled that even if deception is used to enter private property, Kansas may not discriminate based on whether the person intends to harm or help the enterprise.
The appellate ruling upheld a permanent injunction issued by a federal judge in 2020.
The Kansas law made it a crime for anyone to take a picture or video at an animal facility without the owner’s consent or to enter the facility under false pretenses.
The Animal Legal Defense Fund and the Center for Food Safety were among the groups that challenged the ban.
Federal appeals courts considering similar laws in Iowa and Idaho had split over the issue, raising Kansas’ hope that the high court would step in. | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/politics/court-wont-revive-ban-on-secret-filming-at-slaughterhouses/ | 2022-04-25T19:44:52Z | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/politics/court-wont-revive-ban-on-secret-filming-at-slaughterhouses/ | true | 33 |
Transamerica Transformed: Details Revealed for Architectural Addition to Transamerica Pyramid Center
SAN FRANCISCO, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SHVO, the luxury real estate development and investment firm, announced the renovation of the iconic Transamerica Pyramid Center in San Francisco by world renowned architects Foster + Partners in March and is now revealing plans for Three Transamerica (545 Sansome). The renovation includes the expansion and upgrade of the building to a contemporary high-design office building.
Forming a pivotal gateway to the site from Washington and Sansome streets and situated at the nexus between the Financial District and the smaller scale buildings of Jackson Square, the historic Three Transamerica – is an Art Deco structure originally designed for the California Ink Company. Built in the 1930s, it features an innovative use of cast-in place concrete to support utilitarian industrial requirements.
Lord Norman Foster, Founder and Executive Chairman of Foster + Partners, said "I have always argued in favor of the reuse of historic structures, as a sustainable approach that continues the historic tradition of change, while preserving the spirit of the past. Three Transamerica is set to become a unique architectural addition to the Transamerica site, that is wholly of its place and time."
The new design emphasizes sustainability and seeks to revitalize this historic structure. The building's interior will be completely modernized and brought up to date with current building codes while preserving the integrity of the historic structure. Its two Art Deco facades will be sensitively restored, and the building floorplates extended towards Washington and the Redwood Park to create generous double-height office spaces.
These double-height spaces open up the building, bringing fresh air and daylight into the office areas, alongside the lush green terraces that travel up the building, creating healthier workplaces. The new glazed facades reveal the existing structure behind, presenting a contemporary addition that draws its material palette from the context and provide a softer transparent edge defining a more open feel in Redwood Park.
New office space will also be created above the existing building, set back from the historic Sansome façade; in total the new proposal will provide an additional 50,000 sf of office space to the existing building. The materiality of the new addition uses pre-cast concrete, complementing William Perrieira's Transamerica Pyramid and other adjacent buildings.
This addition benefits from views across the Redwood Park, Jackson Square and North Beach, nestling comfortably within the existing cluster of taller structures at Sansome and Washington streets, and transitioning to the lower-scale buildings north of Washington Street.
Curated retail will wrap around the entire building on three sides, activating the Mark Twain Alley and Washington Street, while also giving the building an open and accessible street presence. New green spaces and animated retail will stimulate Redwood Park and open it up to its surroundings.
SHVO, which acquired the Transamerica Pyramid Center in October 2020, is committed to making significant investments to further cement the site's status as one of the most coveted in the world while creating an inviting new destination for San Francisco and its inhabitants.

LONDON — British health officials investigating the cause of a spike in acute hepatitis, or liver inflammation, among children said there is increasing evidence that it is linked to a common virus.
The U.K. Health Security Agency has recorded 111 cases of unexplained hepatitis in children under 10 since January. Ten of the children needed liver transplants. The U.N. health agency said it has so far received reports of at least 169 cases of "acute hepatitis of unknown origin," and that one death had been reported.
While it isn't clear what's causing the illnesses, a leading suspect is adenovirus, which was detected in 75% of the confirmed cases tested, the U.K. agency said in statement Monday.
Adenovirus, a common group of viruses, is now circulating in children at higher than average levels after dropping to unusually low levels during the pandemic. One avenue of inquiry being explored is that the outbreak may be linked to a surge in common viral infections after COVID-19 restrictions were phased out. Children who weren't exposed to adenovirus over the last two years may now be getting hit harder when they are exposed to the viruses.
"Information gathered through our investigations increasingly suggests that this rise in sudden onset hepatitis in children is linked to adenovirus infection,'' said Dr Meera Chand, director of clinical and emerging infections at UKHSA. "However, we are thoroughly investigating other potential causes."
Chand presented the British data Monday during an emergency session of the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases in Lisbon.
The usual viruses that cause infectious liver inflammation -- hepatitis A to E -- weren't detected in any of the 111 cases being investigated in the U.K. The victims suffered symptoms such as jaundice, diarrhea and abdominal pain.
The liver processes nutrients, filters the blood and fights infections. Hepatitis can be life-threatening if left untreated.
There are dozens of adenoviruses, many associated with cold-like symptoms, fever, sore throat and pink eye.
U.S. authorities said earlier this month that they were investigating a cluster of otherwise unexplained hepatitis cases diagnosed in nine Alabama children who also tested positive for adenovirus. Officials there are exploring a link to one particular version — adenovirus 41 — that's normally associated with gut inflammation.
U.K. public health officials have ruled out any links to COVID-19 vaccines, saying none of the affected children was vaccinated. | https://m.startribune.com/uk-more-links-between-common-virus-hepatitis-in-children/600167826/ | 2022-04-25T19:48:04Z | https://m.startribune.com/uk-more-links-between-common-virus-hepatitis-in-children/600167826/ | true | 44 |

Pastor David E. Taylor’s church buys $8.3 million mansion from Tampa Bay Buccaneers co-owner
The Kingdom of God Global Church in Michigan run by Pastor David E. Taylor of Joshua Media Ministries International, who was once deposed for corruption, has purchased an $8.3 million mansion in Tampa, Florida, from Tampa Bay Buccaneers co-owner Darcie Glazer Kassewitz and her husband.
The mansion, which has a 28,893-square-foot main house and a 2,620-square-foot guest house, was purchased with a $4.9 million mortgage from Miami Beach-based Crosby Capital, the Tampa Bay Business Journal reported.
It was unclear how the church will use the mansion going forward, as a representative of the ministry told The Christian Post Monday that Kingdom of God Global Church still gathered for worship at 20320 Superior Road in Taylor, Michigan.
The property, according to the Tampa Bay Business Journal, is located in a luxury residential community of more than 400 homes in North Tamp that features a members-only golf and country club.
“A private gated entrance welcomes you to this one-of-a-kind estate in Tampa’s premier private gated country club community of Avila. Perfectly positioned for the ultimate in privacy and exclusivity, on just under 6 manicured acres, overlooking the golf course, pond and conservation area,” a listing of the property sold on April 12 shows on Redfin.
Featured in the property are 10 bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms, three half-bathrooms, 14 fireplaces, a ballroom, an executive library, a wine room, a five-car garage and several terraces.
“The grandeur continues outdoors to an inviting pool and spa, surrounded by spectacular grounds and lush landscape, with a cabana and fireplace, marvelous limestone terrace areas and entertaining pavilion with outdoor kitchen,” the listing notes.
Taylor, who once claimed he raised a woman from the dead, was deposed in a Michigan court in 2016 for financial corruption. In the deposition, he pretended “to be confused by the attorney's questions and making pitiful excuses for his frivolous purchases."
Among the purchases made was a $2.8 million property in St. Louis that is listed as an asset on a tax form submitted by Taylor's ministry. Taylor, who once referred to the property as a "home" during the deposition, would later insist the property is a "residential center."
"It is a, really, it's a gathering place for our ministry. Where I bring in different leaders and also the staff that we have as a place of, um, you know, maybe, um, resort and teaching. … A resort where we teach and train," Taylor said.
Taylor also noted that he did not know the address of the property where members of his congregation work as full-time volunteer chauffeurs who transport their leader in a fleet of luxury vehicles that include a BMW, Mercedes, Bentley and a Range Rover.
The first two listed vehicles are reportedly registered to Taylor's ministry for the use of "high profile guests." A $50,000 payment was also made to Limoland to convert a Mercedes into a stretch limo for the "hospitality" of "guests."
Taylor also reportedly spent $30,000 over a two-year period on designer clothing, including belts that he says are "better quality" and "have a better TV appearance." | https://www.christianpost.com/news/pastor-david-e-taylors-church-buys-83-million-mansion.html | 2022-04-25T19:57:21Z | https://www.christianpost.com/news/pastor-david-e-taylors-church-buys-83-million-mansion.html | false | 1 |

Abstract
The use of cannabis is highly prevalent worldwide, with known short and long-term adverse effects. However, the relationship between cannabis use and suicidal behavior remains relatively unexplored and this paper aims to unify existing literature on the topic. A systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and LILACS databases with a supplementary search to identify cohort articles published up to January 2020, with no age delimitation for the samples. This review aimed to address the relationship between cannabis use and suicidal behavior, defined as suicidal ideation, attempted suicide or completed suicide. Twenty-two articles were identified, with no clear consensus, irrespective of the outcome being investigated. This was the case even when taking into consideration only those studies with a sound methodology (according to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale). Studies that identified an association explored the importance of the endocannabinoid system as well as the psychosocial context of the individual while developing suicidal behavior, with certain studies demonstrating that greater intensity or precocity of cannabis use increases the strength of this association. The relationship between cannabis use and suicidal behavior is complex, with no consensus in the literature. Further studies with standardized definitions for cannabis use, including frequency of use, along with improved controls for confounding variables are needed.

As Bridgewater College prepares for its regular season finale Wednesday at Lynchburg, the Eagles are in the midst of rewriting the program’s record books and embracing status as a darkhorse Old Dominion Athletic Conference contender heading toward the postseason.
Bridgewater (10-6, 5-4 ODAC), which launched its men’s lacrosse program in 2013, is in the midst of what will be BC’s fourth straight winning season, not counting 2020 when COVID-19 stopped the season five games in.
In the process, multiple single-season records have fallen. Chris Martel’s 62 goals to date are the best in program history while fellow senior attacker Connor McClean 39 assists are also a program record. Meanwhile, sophomore faceoff specialist Gabe Alexander has a program record 144 ground balls while winning an ODAC best 64 percent of his faceoffs.
“As a team our main goals are just to win every game,” Martel said. “That’s not always the case, but that’s our main goal. We always go into the season with goals of doing our best both individually and as a team. It’s just really nice that it happens and we can break records while we are doing it.”
The Eagles are in position to likely host a conference playoff game, a big step for the program, and found themselves competitive with longtime ODAC powerhouses such as Roanoke and Washington & Lee.
“We lost 16 seniors last year and part of our plan coming into this year was how do we generate some goals,” Bridgewater coach Mic Grant said. “We knew we could generate some goals. We’re in a league that has four very recognizable teams. For us to continue to grow and compete is a big thing. The other night when I was talking to the W&L coach he said he loved what we are doing. I said we were just trying to compete with those guys and he said we were there. To have that respect from traditional teams is really important for the program. We’ve gone from one win 10 years ago to making the playoffs four consecutive years.”
But Bridgewater is still looking to get over the top and win the ODAC. If the Eagles pull it off this spring it will likely be behind its powerhouse offense. BC is averaging 15.4 goals per game and has topped 20 goals in a contest four times, including a 25-4 pounding of Randolph earlier this month.
In lacrosse, where the ball doesn’t automatically go back to the opposition after a score, a strong faceoff specialist such as Alexander combined with a one-two offensive punch like Martel and McClean can keep a team in any game.
“It’s nice to see how many guys have stepped up this year and highlight that even though we had a lot of guys graduate last year we still have guys putting in effort for the team,” McClean said. “Even though it is a team sport it’s good when we understand our role on the field. Gabe, he’s been grinding at the faceoff X all year and (Martel) moving around the crease, we kind of have a connection because we’ve been playing together since our freshman year.” | https://www.dnronline.com/sports/college/record-breaking-season-continues-for-eagles/article_def401bd-8571-53c5-a22a-530e370c8a89.html | 2022-04-25T20:10:45Z | https://www.dnronline.com/sports/college/record-breaking-season-continues-for-eagles/article_def401bd-8571-53c5-a22a-530e370c8a89.html | false | 2 |
Tokyo Rainbow Pride parade returns to Shibuya
NHK -- Apr 25
Members of sexual minority groups and their supporters have paraded in central Tokyo for the first time in three years, and called for a society free of discrimination and prejudice.
Tokyo Rainbow Pride events were held online in 2020 and 2021, due to the spread of the coronavirus.
On Sunday, 2,000 people marched along the streets of Shibuya. They had all applied to attend the event in advance. Many held rainbow-colored flags representing the LGBTQ community. They also chanted "Happy Pride."
One member of a lesbian couple in her 20s said she was excited to be part of the gathering. She said that she wants a society where everyone can live happily and equally.
A gay man in his 50s carried a Ukrainian national flag in protest against Russia's invasion.
He said that he wants people to understand that wars can create circumstances, which are difficult for sexual minorities.

Opinion
China delivered a masterstroke while the world watched Taiwan
Peter Hartcher
Political and international editorIt turns out that most of the West’s experts were looking in the wrong place. While the noisiest commentators and politicians were fixated on Taiwan, China delivered its strategic masterstroke some 6000 kilometres away in the South Pacific instead.
An attack on Taiwan would be violent and obvious. Signing a security agreement with Solomon Islands was bloodless and obscure. Most of the world has no idea that it’s happened at all.
The family of the Australian man whose vigilance helped frustrate the Japanese Imperial Army’s invasion of the Solomon Islands 70 years ago certainly has noticed. And they’re very upset.
“To say I am disappointed and dismayed at the decision would be an understatement,” says Alexandra Clemens from her home in Melbourne. “I am the daughter of Martin Clemens who valiantly stood his ground on the allies’ behalf alone on Guadalcanal for years before the US finally arrived in 1942.”
Martin Clemens was a civil servant on Guadalcanal, the main island in the Solomons group, as the Japanese juggernaut conquered Asia and prepared to roll into the South Pacific. Born in Scotland, he worked for the British colonial administration as a district officer.
When Japan attacked Pearl Harbour and then seized the “impregnable” British fortress of Singapore, the other Brits fled in fear. The big plantation owners, even Clemens’s boss, the commissioner, left.
Clemens, 25 years old, chose to stay. He worked with local Solomon Islanders to send intelligence to the allies. When the Japanese started to arrive on Guadalcanal, he hid in the mountains and reported their every move using a refrigerator-size heavy wireless that needed four men to lift it, the cutting-edge mobile phone tech of its time.
Improvisation was key. When the batteries eventually ran flat, Clemens used the citric acid from pineapple juice to recharge them. He had no money or supplies, only his wits and wiles and the local people.
So when the Japanese started to build an air base, Clemens made sure the US Marines knew about it. This was the critical development.
The Japanese Imperial Army wanted then what the Chinese People’s Liberation Army is working towards today – control of the oceanic lifeline that connects Australia and New Zealand with the US and Asia.
If the Japanese were able to establish a base on Guadalcanal, they could control US access from Australia, where the US Far East commander General Douglas MacArthur had his base, to the rest of the Pacific and points north. US and other allied forces needed to be able to pass through the choke point to wage war on Japanese occupation forces through the region. Their resupply vessels needed free access, too.
The US Marines 1st Division was dispatched. The first allied land assault on the Japanese in World War II was afoot. Clemens worked with his volunteer spy army of about 400 Solomon Island natives to feed detailed intelligence to the marines to guide their landing. He stayed on and helped the allies with essential local knowledge.
Clemens was the embodiment of the vigilance that Australia and its allies seem to have neglected today. He had another vital lesson to offer contemporary times – how to win over the people of the Solomons. He could not have sustained his reconnaissance without them.
The Japanese knew he was watching them and regularly swept the island searching for him. One word from a local and he’d have been finished. As he wrote in his book Alone on Guadalcanal, he would not have survived without “the sorely tried but unswerving loyalty of the Solomon Islanders”. They “daily carried out miracles of deception”.
How did he earn their loyalty, especially when many of them were being paid by the Japanese to build their air base? The islanders were anxious about the future and “begged me to tell them what was to happen. All that I could say was that, someday, someone would rescue us from our sorry plight, and that, until that happy day, I intended to stay with them.”
The commander of the 1st Marines in the Guadalcanal campaign, General Alexander Vandegrift, added that Clemens won the trust of the Solomon Island locals by the “force of his character, by example and the personification of the virtues of our Western philosophy”.
Clemens’s daughter Alexandra adds that her father’s cause was much strengthened when Japanese troops stole the islanders’ pigs. He kept his word and stayed on Guadalcanal through the months of grinding fighting and until the Japanese surrender in 1945.
Among the consequences of Clemens’s work is the survival of a junior US naval officer who went on to become an American president. Clemens’s scouts told him of a US patrol boat that had been sunk, its survivors marooned on a remote island. They’d written a message on a coconut shell for the scouts to give to the US Navy, which they hoped would find them.
Clemens told the scouts to organise a rescue, which is how Lieutenant John F. Kennedy and his crew came to be delivered from their week-long ordeal.
And now Kennedy’s daughter, Caroline, has been nominated by Joe Biden to be the next US ambassador to Canberra. Without Clemens and his scouts, so much modern history might have been different.
He was the first person to be admitted as an honorary non-American member of the Marine Corps. He was awarded honours by the US, Britain and Australia, the country he adopted and died in. The Obama administration sent a colonel and staff sergeant to his funeral in 2009.
But now a hostile force is, once again, on the brink of establishing control of that critical lifeline. China has established the political foundation for military operations through the Solomon Islands.
What would Martin Clemens think if he were looking on today? “He would feel a bit betrayed,” reflects Alexandra. “It would be a great disappointment.“
His example teaches unwavering vigilance and the power of working closely in a trusting relationship with the peoples of the Pacific. Lest we forget.

A climate activist who set himself on fire on Earth Day previously shared an eerie premonition about his death.
Wynn Bruce, 50, lit himself on fire in front of the Supreme Court in Washington DC at about 6.30pm local time on Friday.
The Buddhist, from Boulder, Colorado, suffered critical burns and died the next day.
On October 30, 2020, Wynn shared a link on Facebook to an online class on climate change offered by edX, which is the free online course platform created by Harvard and MIT.
In April 2021, he went back to the 2020 post and commented: "4-1-1 4/22/2022" with a fire emoji.
CCTV from the scene shows police trying to calm Wynn as he is heard screaming in the background.
Police are still investigating the motive.
A Buddhist priest from the same area as Wynn has shared on Twitter it was not a suicide, but a "deeply fearless act of compassion".
Zen priest Sensei Kritee Kanko wrote: "This guy was my friend. He meditated with our sangha.
"This act is not suicide.
"This is a deeply fearless act of compassion to bring attention to the climate crisis.
"We are piecing together info but he had been planning it for at least one year. #wynnbruce I am so moved."
Wynn's Facebook page has reportedly been flooded with comments both praising and criticising his actions.
One wrote: "How can you solve the climate crisis when you leave in the middle of the fight. Now you can’t do anything to be helpful."
Another added: "I see he was a fighter for his beliefs and that may have contributed to this tragedy."

Supreme Court police, Capitol Police and Metropolitan DC police all responded to the incident.
Two roads were temporarily shut as helicopter paramedics tended to the medical emergency.
The incident was "not a public safety issue", authorities said.
In 2019, another man set himself on fire and walked near the White House as cops tried to put out the flames.
He was later identified as Arnav Gupta and died of his injuries the following day.

U.S. Ambassador to China R. Nicholas Burns, participating virtually from Beijing, joined Chinese Ambassador Qin Gang and former U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad as featured speakers at the Dialogue
DES MOINES, Iowa , April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "With the unprecedented participation of three Ambassadors from and to China, the U.S. - China Agricultural Dialogue in Des Moines showed that agriculture provides an opportunity for positive developments during an otherwise difficult and contentious bilateral relationship," stated Ambassador Kenneth Quinn, Strategic Advisor to the United States Heartland China Association (USHCA) who moderated the Dialogue that took place at the Dr. Norman E. Borlaug Hall of Laureates in Des Moines.
In his remarks, former Ambassador Branstad, recalled his personal role as Governor of Iowa in meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his two historic visits to Iowa. Speaking next, Ambassador Qin Gang and Ambassador Burns offered comments on current agricultural trade and ideas on how it could be improved and expanded.
The USHCA, a bipartisan American non-profit organization, co-hosted the April 21 (April 22 in China) event in conjunction with the China Agriculture Association for International Exchanges. The Hon. Bob Holden, former Governor of Missouri and Chairman of the USHCA who gave opening remarks at the event, said that "having all three ambassadors appear live on the program today illustrates the importance of agricultural collaboration in US-China relations." He also applauded Ambassador Kenneth Quinn, who was instrumental in bringing the ambassadors together, for his tireless effort to advance peace through diplomacy even in his retirement.
Close to 200 high level participants, including an array of governmental, educational, national and international agri-business leaders attended this dialogue. Many traveled to Iowa from across the country and overseas just to attend this unique event.
One of those participants, Craig Floss, the CEO of the Iowa Corn Growers Association, formally announced that two recent purchases of corn this month by China represented a combined value of over $700 million, "one of the largest purchases of corn ever by China or any other country."
Included among other executives attending were the CEOs of Continental Grain, Syngenta, the U.S. Grains Council, and the U.S. Soybean Export Council, who joined with the Vice President of China Agricultural University on a panel discussion about steps to increase both U.S. - China two-way trade and enhance global collaboration in feeding the 9 to 10 billion people who will soon be on our planet.
Other speakers during the event were a Vice Governor of Hebei Province, Iowa's Sister State and representatives of the USDA Foreign Agriculture Service and the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.
At the conclusion of the Dialogue, the USHCA and the CAAIE signed a Memorandum of Understanding committing the two organizations to "consult and collaborate ... in support of the annual U.S. - China Agriculture Dialogue."
"We are really excited to see long term commitment from both Associations to carry forward the legacy of agricultural collaboration for the benefit of both countries and our world." commented Min Fan, Executive Director of USHCA.
The USHCA also wishes to thank the following sponsors who made this High Level Dialogue possible: Iowa Corn Growers Association, US Soybean Export Council, U.S. Grains Council, China Certification & Inspection Group (North America), and Tyson Foods.
(A full recording of the U.S. - China Agricultural Dialogue is available here.)

With The Spring We’re Having, It’s Time to Golf Indoors in Cedar Falls
If you like golf, I think I've found our way around the wet and rainy weather we've had to start our spring. Now, nothing really beats being outside, on a real course, 70 degrees, 7 mph wind, and 12 Busch lights in your golf cart. Even people who don't like golf...

In predictably affirming how the 49ers have no intention of trading All-Pro receiver Deebo Samuel, general manager John Lynch avoided getting into specifics in Monday’s press conference.
“I can’t ever imagine wanting to move on from Deebo,” Lynch said. “Even though we don’t have a first-round pick, you go through exercises and be thorough in the process. He’s just too good of a player.”
Samuel’s saga dominated the discussion of Lynch’s NFL-mandated pre-draft press conference inside Levi’s Stadium’s auditorium.
“By virtue of the way he plays, it’s inspiring,” Lynch added. “That entails leadership. He makes people around him better. He’s a great teammate. We’ve got nothing but love for him and appreciation. You just don’t let guys like that walk.”
Lynch wouldn’t reveal Samuel’s discontent but did confirm he’s had discussions with the three-year veteran and was surprised how things have turned.
If Samuel wants the 49ers to rush payment on an extension, this week’s draft offers a sweet spot to gauge his value in a potential trade.
While Samuel is entering the final year of his rookie contract, the 49ers made sure Monday that defensive end Nick Bosa will not be. They exercised Bosa’s fifth-year option for 2023, with designs on extending him to a long-term deal.
For those curious wondering why the 49ers’ track record is to not extend homegrown stars until later in the summer, that’s their tried and true business model, excluding veterans they re-sign around March’s free agency period. For example:
Guard Laken Tomlinson got an extension June 22, 2018.
Tight end George Kittle’s came on Aug. 14, 2020.
Linebacker Fred Warner cashed in July 22, 2021.
“It takes time. There is some patience involved in it,” Warner said Monday. “That’s the side a lot of people don’t get to see, business side of it. Sometimes guys take longer than others. Speaking of my process, I thought it was great and both sides were professional.”
Why not rush payment?
“I’m not going there,” said Lynch, who seemed understandably tense, spoke often in defensive tones, and was not as jocular as past media sessions. “I don’t think it’s in anyone’s best interest to get into particulars.”
Second contracts were doled out last month by the Carolina Panthers (to fifth-year wide receiver D.J. Moore; three years, $62 million), and the Las Vegas Raiders Raiders (fourth-year defensive end Maxx Crosby; four years, $99 million).
The same day the Buffalo Bills extended eighth-year receiver Stefon Diggs (four years, $96 million, Samuel tweeted: “OHHH OKAYY THEN”
OHHH OKAYYY THEN
— Deebo (@19problemz) April 6, 2022
That’s about when Samuel initially requested a trade, the NFL Network reported last week.
“This is normal,” Lynch said of contract negotiations. “I don’t think there’s trouble getting an extension. I wouldn’t read into that. Our track record is pretty good. We’ve never had a significant holdout and our record speaks to that and we don’t plan on one moving forward.
“When you play well here, you’re rewarded, for the most part. We’re proud of that. Our actions have reflected that over time.”
Outside on the training fields and down the halls in the meeting rooms, other 49ers are voluntarily participating in the offseason program, without Samuel.
Instead, Samuel’s been jet-setting across the country, and he’s documented those travels on Instagram. He’s been working out in Houston and in Miami with fellow pros. A week ago, he was hanging out in his native South Carolina with family and friends. Sunday, he was lunching in Malibu with his marketing agents, after being video-tapped at a club a night earlier, according to social media watchdogs.
Right tackle Mike McGlinchey said the 49ers’ locker room is not consumed by the drama.
“Deebo’s business is his business. It’s never something players get into talking about other than congratulations after contract negotiations,” McGlinchey said. “Any player in our locker room and any player across the league will tell you: ‘Do what you need to do. It’s your livelihood. It’s your family you have to take care of. So guys will never, ever speak to that. It’s none of our business.’
“But it’s not a secret what Deebo means to our football team,” McGlinchey added. “He’s one of our best if not the best player. He deserves everything coming his way. It’s between those guys to figure it out.”
NOTES
— Jimmy Garoppolo’s shoulder surgery in March was not prompted by a trade-dependent physical, said Lynch, adding that talks never progressed to that level with prospective suitors.
“That certainly threw a wrench in those things,” Lynch said. “You adapt and move forward. We like a lot of things Jimmy brings to the table. We’re doing what’s best for our team and Jimmy by keeping us with him right now.”
Lynch said he “absolutely” can envision Garoppolo being on the team this coming season, and that his $24 million salary did not prohibit them to be more active in free agency. Lynch cited the recent spree of expensive signings in previous years for a more subdued offseason.
— On Trey Lance being assured he’s the starter, Lynch downplayed such reports and said he believes in competition. “we believe he’s ready and we think he’s ready to show that to us, to teammates, to the world,” Lynch said.
— Running back Elijah Mitchell said he had minor clean-up surgery on the knee that hindered him at the end of his rookie season. He said he definitely will be ready for training camp, and he hopes to play at 215 pounds.
— Lynch did not deny that center Alex Mack might be retiring, but added, “He hasn’t spoken on it in finality.” Daniel Brunskill was described as a viable candidate to shift over from right guard to center.
— McGlinchey is “full go” some six months into rehabilitation from a quadriceps tear, an injury that traced back years. “It wasn’t just last season. It was years and years of playing football,” McGlinchey said. “I’m a tall, long guy and bend a lot for my job. It will help me in the back end of my career, that I have a whole new quad tendon.”
McGlinchey is entering the final year of his contract, on a fifth-year option at $10.9 million. He said he is not approaching it as a prove-it year, because that would create immense pressure. He hopes to remain with the 49ers long term. | https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2022/04/25/what-49ers-john-lynch-had-to-say-about-deebo-samuels-trade-request/ | 2022-04-25T20:53:48Z | https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2022/04/25/what-49ers-john-lynch-had-to-say-about-deebo-samuels-trade-request/ | false | 6 |

Flagstaff, AZ – October is breast cancer awareness month. For about 30 percent of US women who are diagnosed with early breast cancer, the cancer will spread to another part of their body. It's called metastatic breast cancer. It wasn't that long ago that women diagnosed with metastatic disease were given only a year or two to live. But today women can live much longer with the disease, as Arizona Public Radio's Laurel Morales reports.
Gail Santilli was first diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago. She had one mastectomy and then a second. Soon the cancer had spread to her liver, lungs and ultimately, her bones. It was metastatic.
SANTILLI: Initially you know having Mets it meant you were a goner. You really drew the short end of the stick. Thank God there are a lot of really great treatments now. I mean I've been alive the last two and a half years and I intend to be alive a lot longer.
And she keeps a sense of humor about it with her husband and two daughters -- ages 18 and 22.
SANTILLI: So I made the joke to my family I'm going to be around longer don't be laying claim to my jewelry yet girls.
And with research trials and new treatments produced every year, she could live a lot longer.
Deborah Lindquist is a medical oncologist in Flagstaff and Sedona. She's also a KNAU underwriter.
LINDQUIST: We used to think of it as a terminal disease now we think it's a chronic disease they'll have ongoing treatment but they'll continue to live their lives and stay present in their lives and not just be home in a sick bed.
Many women with metastatic breast cancer live up to 15 years or more with the disease. But it comes with a price.
Santilli checks into the Cancer Center of Northern Arizona Healthcare every Wednesday for chemotherapy.
SANTILLI: I had treatment today so I have a stomach ache. I kinda don't feel well. You almost feel flu like. By Saturday or Sunday I start to feel better. I feel fairly normal on Mondays and Tuesdays. And then I get treatment on Wednesdays. You get into the rhythm of your treatment cycle. This is my new normal.
Every six months or so Santilli tries a new treatment with different side effects and that becomes her new normal.
When she was first diagnosed with breast cancer, the chemotherapy was intense.
SANTILLI: With the initial diagnosis you're counting off the losses left and right and they're visible. It's like ok there goes the hair, there goes the finger nails, there goes a body part there goes another one. It's just loss one after the other.
Now Santilli says it's a different type of loss.
SANTILLI: When you have metastatic disease it's a different kind of grieving. You're missing everything you thought was in your future.
Santilli, who's 54, had to drastically cut back her hours as a social worker for Flagstaff Medical Center. It's difficult to plan things like trips and retirement.
For most breast cancer patients it's scary but the treatment is often finite. For Santilli and others with metastatic breast cancer they have to shift their perspective on life.
And they feel a little left out of the pink ribbon parade every October.
SANTILLI: There's a lot of attention to detection and prevention and emphasis on cure which of course is critical. But sometimes when cancer reoccurs and matasticizes it's seen sort of like a failure and a lot of times women feel like they've failed.
Gail received some good news this week: she says her latest cancer scan looks pretty good. She tries to stay in the present because as she puts it you're fine until your not. That's the ambiguity and the insidiousness of the disease.
For Arizona Public Radio I'm Laurel Morales in Flagstaff. | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2009-10-27/metastatic-breast-cancer-patients-live-longer | 2022-04-25T20:59:31Z | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2009-10-27/metastatic-breast-cancer-patients-live-longer | true | 1 |

I will resign, says Lalu’s son Tej Pratap Yadav. Then a photo with Rabri Devi
PATNA: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav on Monday said he intended to resign from the party, an announcement that is seen as a fallout of allegations by a RJD’s youth wing leader Ramraj Yadav, who accused Tej Pratap of thrashing him and using abusive language for Lalu Prasad during the party’s inftaar party on April 22.
“I have followed in the footsteps of my father and tried to accord respect to all party workers. I will soon meet my father and submit my resignation,” Tej Pratap Yadav, 34, said in a short post in Hindi on Twitter. The RJD lawmaker from Hasanpur did not elaborate on Twitter but tagged Tejashwi Yadav, apart from his mother Rabri Devi and Lalu Prasad.
But Tej Pratap later uploaded a photo with his mother and former chief minister, Rabri Devi, on Facebook where she is affectionately holding his forehead. The photograph was seen to imply that he had her mother’s support.
Past Monday midnight, Tej Pratap Yadav let it be known on social media that the accusation that he spoke ill of his father Lalu Prasad and brother Tejashwi Yadav, who is seen as Lalu Prasad’s political heir, was a conspiracy to split the family. Why else would the RJD youth wing leader take so long to make a complaint, asked a man featured in a video uploaded on his Facebook page.
RJD leaders aware of the development said the offer to resign comes after RJD Yuva Mahanagar president Ramraj Yadav briefed RJD Bihar president Jagdanand Singh about the incident and gave his resignation
Ramraj Yadav told reporters that he was assigned duty at pandal number 3 by the state president. “Tej Pratap came and took me to a room on the pretext of discussing something. There I was beaten in presence of two persons who I recognize by face. He used abusive language, used vulgar words not against me but also against Lalu Prasad ji and Tejashwi. I was beaten for being with Tejashwi Yadav and he even threatened to get me eliminated. I have the proof and have given my resignation to the state president,” he said.
“I somehow managed to come out, briefed Jagdanand ji on phone and left the venue,” he added.
Tej Pratap Yadav earlier posted his photo along with Ramraj Yadav and denied that anything has happened. “He is being provoked by somebody,” said Tej Pratap Yadav.
Ramraj told mediapersons that he has narrated the entire incident to the president. “The photo was taken after he insulted me,” he added.
To be sure, Tej Pratap Yadav and Bihar RJD president Jagdanand have not been known to be on the best of terms. Tej Pratap has repeatedly attacked him in the past and demanded his removal.
RJD’s spokesperson Mritunjay Tiwary declined to comment on the row. “I am not aware of the development,” he said.
But this is not the first time that Tej Pratap Yadav has been involved in an unseemly row. Earlier this month, Tej Pratap accused his party’s newly-elected MLC Saurabh Kumar of debauchery and corruption. “He won the MLC election on the basis of money and demanded that there should be a CBI inquiry into his assets,” he said.

Adolescent suicides in several US states increased during the pandemic, research shows
By Kristen Rogers, CNN
The mental health of Americans has suffered during the Covid-19 pandemic, and new research shows the damage wasn’t limited to adults.
The number of suicides among adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19 increased in five states during the pandemic, according to research looking at 14 states published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics on Monday.
Data from Georgia, Indiana, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Virginia and California also showed an increase in the proportion of adolescent deaths by suicide relative to suicides by people of all ages, the authors found. Conversely, Montana had a decrease in adolescent suicides and the proportion of adolescent deaths by suicide during the pandemic, while Alaska had a decrease in proportion only, the research found.
“Suicide-risk screenings have yielded higher positive rates” during the pandemic than beforehand, the authors said. And in 2021, the American Academy of Pediatrics declared a state of emergency concerning children’s and adolescents’ mental health.
To measure the impact of this heightened risk, the researchers partnered with public health departments in 14 states and looked into death certificate data on more than 85,000 people who died by suicide. The authors compared two time periods: 2015 to 2019 and 2020, which is the pandemic year they analyzed.
The findings highlight the need to pay attention to any behaviors adolescents show that can signal suicidal thoughts, said Marie-Laure Charpignon, the first author of the study and a doctoral student in statistics at the Institute for Data, Systems and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “We’re all kind of blind within our own families or households,” she added. Sometimes “we see what we want to see, or what we have the opportunity to see in the limited amount of time we have.”
Factors behind adolescent suicide risk
Why certain states had an increased number of adolescent suicides is a “tricky question,” and the answer could depend on many factors, Charpignon said.
Knowing whether the deaths of adolescents’ caregivers during the pandemic influenced the increase in adolescent suicides requires further research with local health departments, Charpignon said. Whether virtual or hybrid school settings in these states during the pandemic could have negatively affected adolescents’ mental health, and therefore their suicide risk, is also unknown, Charpignon said.
Having this geographical data could help public health experts reconsider where they allocate mental health services, she added.
This research isn’t the first to look into adolescent suicidality in the United States during the pandemic. Emergency department visits for suspected suicide attempts among youth, especially girls, ages 12 to 17 started to increase in May 2020, according to a US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study. The same study found that from February 21, 2021, to March 20 of the same year, visits increased by 50.6% among girls and 3.7% among boys in that age range, when compared with the same time period in 2019.
Peers and caregivers should watch for any negative changes in how adolescents express themselves or how often they communicate, Charpignon said. Concerned parents can talk with health professionals and their children’s teachers, in case they have noticed any behavioral changes, she added.
Suicide risk factors also include mental or substance abuse problems or a family history of them; negative life events; family history of suicide; familial abuse of any type; household guns; impulsive behaviors; and exposure to others’ suicidal behaviors, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Other common warning signs — which could also indicate depression — according to Johns Hopkins Medicine, include the following:
- “Changes in eating and sleeping habits”
- Loss of interest in activities or school
- “Neglecting one’s personal appearance”
- “Obsession with death and dying”
- More complaints of physical ailments linked to emotional distress
- “Problems focusing”
- “Lack of response to praise”
- “Verbal hints such as ‘I won’t be a problem much longer’ or ‘If anything happens to me, I want you to know…'”ß
- ßGiving or throwing away cherished belonging
- Cheeriness after a depressive episod
å
s
e
Expanded access to suicide risk assessments and grief counseling for coping with loss of caregivers could be helpful interventions for adolescents at risk for suicide, according to the study authors.
The researchers have recently examined adolescent suicides in all other states and plan to submit those findings for peer review April 25, Charpignon said. Further research that looks at racial and ethnic differences is also needed, the authors said, since “pandemic-period suicidality may be differentially affected by race and ethnicity.”

Elon Musk has an agreement to acquire Twitter for about $44B
Billionaire Elon Musk has reached an agreement to acquire Twitter for approximately $44 billion, the company said.
The outspoken Tesla CEO, the world’s wealthiest person, has said he wants to buy Twitter because he thinks it’s not living up to its potential as a platform for “free speech.” He says it needs to be transformed as a private company in order to build trust with users and do better at serving what he calls the “societal imperative” of free speech.
Twitter said it will become a privately held company after the sale is closed.
“Twitter has a purpose and relevance that impacts the entire world,” its CEO Parag Agrawal said in a tweet. “Deeply proud of our teams and inspired by the work that has never been more important.”
Musk describes himself as a “free-speech absolutist,” although he hasn’t been exactly clear what he means by that. In a recent TED interview, the billionaire said he’d like to see Twitter err on the side of allowing speech instead of moderating it. He said he’d be “very reluctant” to delete tweets and would generally be cautious about permanent bans. He also acknowledged that Twitter would have to abide by national laws governing speech in markets around the world.
Musk himself, though, regularly blocks social media users who have criticized him or his company and has used the platform to bully reporters who have written critical articles about him or his company.
Trending News
Twitter’s board at first enacted an anti-takeover measure known as a poison pill that could have made a takeover attempt prohibitively expensive. But when Musk outlined the financial commitments he’d lined up to back his offer of $46.5 billion — and no other bidders emerged — the board opened negotiations with him. | https://www.wbrz.com/news/elon-musk-has-an-agreement-to-acquire-twitter-for-about-44b | 2022-04-25T21:06:10Z | https://www.wbrz.com/news/elon-musk-has-an-agreement-to-acquire-twitter-for-about-44b | false | 19 |
(CNN) -- A man who died on Saturday after setting himself on fire in front of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, was a climate activist, according to social media posts from various people who claim to know him.
Wynn Alan Bruce, 50, from Boulder, Colorado, who self-immolated on Friday -- when the world marked Earth Day -- suffered critical injuries and was airlifted to hospital, where he died, a police spokesperson said.
Those who knew Bruce, who had managed a portrait photo studio in Boulder, say he was protesting against inaction on the climate crisis.
Kritee Kanko, a climate scientist and a Zen Buddhist priest who claims to know Bruce through the same meditation group, wrote on Twitter that while they are still gathering more information, the activist may had planned on the act for at least a year. CNN could not independently verify their relationship.
"This act is not suicide. This is a deeply fearless act of compassion to bring attention to climate crisis," she posted on Twitter. "We are piecing together info but he had been planning it for at least one year. #wynnbruce I am so moved."
In an interview with The New York Times, Kanko clarified her tweet saying she was not entirely certain of Bruce's intentions, but rather that "people are being driven to extreme amounts of climate grief and despair." Kanko said she did not want "young people (to) start thinking about self-immolation.
About a year ago, Bruce responded to one of his own posts about climate change with a comment that included a fire emoji and the date "4/22/2022."
His last Facebook post on March 28 said, "This is NOT humor. It is ALL about breathing," referring to the need for clean air.
Earlier this year, Bruce posted a photo of teen climate activist Greta Thunberg with the caption saying, "What now adults?" In other social media posts, Bruce wrote about climate change, pollution, environment and his faith in Buddhism.
This isn't the first time someone set themselves on fire to protest inaction against climate change.
In April 2018, David Buckel, a lawyer and environmental advocate, drenched himself with gas and lit himself on fire in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York. In an email Buckel sent to the media before he died, he wrote, "Most humans on the planet now breathe air made unhealthy by fossil fuels, and many die early deaths as a result -- my early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselves."
In Buddhism, the ascetic practice of self-immolation -- where one voluntarily takes their own life, typically by setting themselves ablaze -- is extremely rare; it's a controversial practice among some adherents of the Mahayana tradition of the religion.
It was practiced in South Vietnam to protest the Vietnam War and continues to be used by Tibetans today. More than 100 Tibetans have set themselves on fire since 2009 to protest Chinese rule. Apart from those countries, it's a practice that has claimed the lives of hundreds (perhaps even thousands) of activists in India, South Korea and even Kurds protesting in Western Europe, according to sociologist Michael Biggs.
The area around the Supreme Court was closed Friday for further investigation, according to a court spokesperson. The court plaza had returned to normal Saturday, CNN observed. No one else was injured in the incident, a court spokesperson said.
The incident comes as the Supreme Court is set to rule on what could be one of the most consequential cases for the climate crisis as well as clean air in decades. Republican state attorneys general and coal companies are asking the highest court to strip the Environmental Protection Agency of its authority to regulate planet-warming gas emissions from power plants.
As the climate emergency advances and its impacts continue to be felt around the world, climate scientists and activists have been ramping up efforts to bring attention to the crisis, through civil disobedience and risking arrest by blocking traffic and locking themselves to building entrances of financial institutions funding fossil fuel projects.
"Rest in power Wynn," climate scientist Peter Kalmus, who was recently arrested for locking himself to the entrance of JP Morgan Chase building in Los Angeles to protest the bank's funding of new fossil fuel projects, wrote on Twitter. "Everyone, we must fight side by side in solidarity for every fraction of a degree. It is NOT too late." | https://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/a-man-who-died-after-self-immolating-in-front-of-supreme-court-was-a-climate/article_69f7249e-c4c4-11ec-b3d3-8350c8e8a016.html | 2022-04-25T21:06:11Z | https://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/a-man-who-died-after-self-immolating-in-front-of-supreme-court-was-a-climate/article_69f7249e-c4c4-11ec-b3d3-8350c8e8a016.html | true | 21 |
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has described teammate Lionel Messi as "the best in the world."
The Parisiens claimed a record-equalling tenth Ligue 1 title on Saturday, 23 April thanks to a draw at home to RC Lens. Messi scored PSG's only goal of the match with a trademark left-footed effort from outside the area.
Since his arrival from Barcelona last summer, the 34-year-old forward has endured a difficult campaign. He has scored just four top-flight goals.
He has however provided 13 league assists during his spell in the French capital. Donnarumma has lauded the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner in an interview with Sky Sports Italia.
The Italian shot-stopper, who also joined PSG last summer once his contract expired at AC Milan, stated:
“Leo Messi continues to be the best in the world. He’s a great guy, he’s very important to us, and we saw him in a decisive game.
“In addition to him, everyone who takes the field are champions, we have a great team, and now we just have to try to finish the championship in the best way.”
Lionel Messi expected to stay another season at PSG, but Mauricio Pochettino faces uncertain future
The Ligue 1 champions' season was defined by their devastating Champions League second-round defeat to Real Madrid in March. Pochettino's side threw away a two-goal lead within 18 minutes in the match at the Bernabeu.
In the league game following the collapse, both Messi and Neymar were loudly booed by their own supporters at the Parc Des Princes.
Despite the discontent, Sky Sports have reported that the legendary forward will see out his contract at PSG, which expires in June 2023.
The team will be built around the Argentine next season. However, changes may be made off the pitch, with the club's owners considering the future of manager Pochettino as well as Sporting Director Leonardo. The increasing number of jeers the former Tottenham boss is receiving from fans is likely to lead to his departure in the near future.
It looks as though the illustrious front three of Neymar, Messi and Mbappe will be broken up. The Sky Sports report claims that PSG will listen to offers for world-record signing Neymar. Mbappe is out of contract in the summer and is currently in talks with Real Madrid.
Lionel Messi joined from Barcelona in the hope of winning the Parisiens' first ever Champions League title, and with it his sixth individual triumph. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/news-continues-best-world-psg-star-salutes-lionel-messi-ligue-1-triumph | 2022-04-25T21:07:04Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/news-continues-best-world-psg-star-salutes-lionel-messi-ligue-1-triumph | false | 1 |

Supplemental Information
Supplemental financial and operating information, as well as this release, are available in the investor relations section of the American Campus Communities website, www.americancampus.com.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") currently defines Funds from Operations ("FFO") as net income or loss attributable to common shares computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains or losses from depreciable operating property sales, impairment charges and real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. We also believe it is meaningful to present a measure we refer to as FFO-Modified, or ("FFOM”), which reflects certain adjustments related to the economic performance of our on-campus participating properties and excludes other items, as we determine in good faith, that do not reflect our core operations on a comparative basis. FFO and FFOM should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our liquidity, nor are these measures indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.
The company defines property net operating income ("NOI”) as property revenues less direct property operating expenses, excluding depreciation, but including allocated corporate general and administrative expenses.

Liverpool have made contact to sign £130,000-a-week attacker – Report
German international, Serge Gnarby’s is yet to agree a new deal with Bayern Munich and he could end up leaving the Bundesliga giants.
Earlier this month, Goal reported that Liverpool are interested in hiring the services of the former Arsenal winger, who will be out of contract in 2023 and currently earns around 8 million euros per year i.e. £130,000-a-week.
News – Report – £67million star would like to sign for Liverpool
More recently, Spanish outlet, Fichajes, have reported that Liverpool have made contact and inquired about signing the Kaiser from the Allianz Arena outfit.
The news source have mentioned that the presence of a German coach (Jurgen Klopp) could attract the player to move to Anfield where he will get the chance to reunite with former Bayern team-mate, Thiago Alcantara.
On the other hand, it is stated that Gnabry may find it hard getting into the starting XI because at Liverpool, the first choice right-winger is Mohamed Salah.
In my view, we do need depth as far as the right-wing position is concerned. Salah will turn 30 in June and sooner or later, we will need to find someone young to take his place.
In the winter transfer window, Klopp opted to sign Luis Diaz from Porto. The Colombian star has proved to be an instant hit and has mainly featured on the left flank, a position dominated by Sadio Mane over the years.
Now, we have Mane and Diaz on the left flank, Jota and Firmino in the CF/False 9 role but there is no one good enough to cover for Salah. As yet, the Reds have not replaced the likes of Shaqiri and Wilson.
Gnabry, 26, has the quality and the experience to improve our attack. This term, he has so far netted 16 goals and provided 10 assists in all competitions for Bayern Munich.
In your view, should Liverpool move in to secure his signature? | https://paisleygates.com/archives/43199 | 2022-04-25T21:15:31Z | https://paisleygates.com/archives/43199 | true | 1 |
Andreas Pereira may be set for another chance at Manchester United, with reports claiming football director John Murtough has told the midfielder the club can count on him for next season.
Pereira hasn't played a minute for United since a Europa League victory over LASK in August 2020. He spent last season on loan at Lazio, and is currently coming towards the end of a similar spell with Flamengo.
The Brazil international had helped the Rio-based team reach the final of the 2021 Copa Libertadores. However, a permanent switch appears to be less likely than it once was, and his future could now lie back in Manchester.
With Erik ten Hag heading to Old Trafford ahead of the new season, the club have been tipped to spend over the summer. However, with the likes of Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic on their way out, the Red Devils could be left light in midfield.
While Pereira's future remains uncertain, TNT Sports (via Sport Witness ) report that Murtough has reached out to the 26-year-old. The outlet also makes reference to the midfielder's history with Ten Hag, who was assistant manager at PSV Eindhoven when a teenage Pereira was in the club's academy before joining United.
Ten Hag is planning one-to-one meetings with each of United's squad members as he decides who to keep and who to let go. Matic has already confirmed his plans to leave, while Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata and Lee Grant are all out of contract at the end of the season.
Does Pereira have a future at Man Utd? Have your say in the comments section
"It has been a huge honour and a privilege to play for this great club, Matic said when announcing his plans to move on. The Serbian has been linked with a move to Roma, where he would be reunited with Jose Mourinho - the manager who first brought him to Old Trafford.
"A big thank you to the fans for their unwavering support, the former Chelsea man continued. I will now give everything until the end of the season to help my teammates finish as strongly as possible."
While Pereira hasn't featured for United since 2020, he was on the bench for the first game of the Premier League season and was on the scoresheet in a pre-season draw with Brentford. Flamengo have an option to sign the player, who has five goals in 21 Brazilian Serie A appearances, but it remains unclear whether they will exercise the option.
Before his loan moves, he had played 75 times for United's first team, with the majority of those games coming under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Pereira's sole Brazil international cap also came during one of his two most productive seasons at Old Trafford, when he was part of Mourinho's squad early in the 2018-19 season. | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/man-utd-murtough-pereira-transfer-26796926 | 2022-04-25T21:15:46Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/man-utd-murtough-pereira-transfer-26796926 | false | 2 |

Neco Williams has confirmed he’ll return to Liverpool this summer, but has hinted that he could leave Anfield again in search of first team football.
The Wales international joined Fulham on loan in January and has since helped them win promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Making 14 appearances for the Cottagers so far, the temporary move has been a success for the right-back and he is now looking to follow up his title win with the Reds in 2019/20 with a Championship winners’ medal.
Following the success of his loan in the capital, the ECHO understands that both Liverpool and Williams would prefer the defender to stay at Anfield next season. However, both parties are also aware that might not be possible, with the 21-year-old hungry to be playing regularly.

MOMENTS MISSED: Jurgen Klopp pranked after Liverpool win as Anthony Gordon fume continues
His loan move to Fulham has only enhanced that desire and with a potential World Cup place to play for ahead of this winter’s tournament in Qatar, Williams knows how important it is to be playing regularly. And while he’s confident he’ll be returning to Liverpool a better player than when he left back in January, he’s determined to now take the next steps in his career.
“Right now, I just want to play football week in and week out,” Williams said. “I want to play as much as possible and gain as much experience as possible, and so far it has definitely helped me.
“I’ve improved as a player and getting promoted is a nice one to put on the CV. It’s been a great loan, but I’ll be going back to Liverpool in the summer, feeling like a more mature player and definitely an improved player.
"I’ve won the Prem and hopefully I can go on to win the Championship now. I have gained a lot of experience in a short amount of time.
“I've gone from starting a Champions League game against AC Milan and beating them 2-1 to playing Barnsley. So I have gained quite a lot of valuable and varied experience at such a young age.
“I want to be a Premier League player. For me, I think it's the best and the toughest league in the world. And you always want to be playing against the best players in the world, you always want to play in the best league in the world.
“For me, that's the Premier League and that's what I want to do with my career just to play as many games as possible in the Premier League.”
Williams isn’t the only player in the Fulham squad with Liverpool links after the Cottagers signed his Wales team-mate Harry Wilson from the Reds last summer. And the winger, who has scored 10 goals and recorded a division-high 16 assists in an impressive first season with the club, played his part in his compatriot following him to the capital.
“Having him there has made it 100% easier,” Williams said of Wilson. “When Fulham were interested, I gave him a quick call and spoke about their plans and he couldn’t praise the club enough, and he dragged me in.
“It’s been a massive help, I played with him at Liverpool and at Wales, so I know the kind of player he is and I know him well. It was a long journey down, I got to the training ground, gave him a call and he came out, met me and then brought me into the ground.
“He got me settled in with the team and helped me get to know them all. If you look at his stats as well, what he’s done this season is incredible. Being nominated as the Championship player of the season, just shows his ability and shows what quality he has.”
Although Williams is away at Fulham, he’s not been forgotten back at Liverpool with the defender still in contact with his team-mates as they themselves chase an unprecedented quadruple. And while he’s understandably closer to the younger players in the squad, he highlighted two members of Jurgen Klopp ’s side in particular as vital to their success.
“I’m closer to the younger lads, I’m in contact with them,” he admitted. “When they see me scoring, they send me little jokes. We have a bit of banter, as I’m not known for scoring. One of the assistant coaches texted me congratulating me on the promotion with Fulham, which was nice.
“The big characters in the dressing rooms are always important. It is normally the senior lads with the most experience. You don’t really get the young lads being the big ones in the changing rooms.
“At Liverpool, you’ve got the likes of James Milner and Jordan Henderson. They're the characters in the changing rooms who will tell you what’s what.”
While it remains to be seen if Williams will remain with Liverpool next season, the defender can’t speak highly enough of his Reds manager. Klopp gave the Wales international his debut back in 2019, with the 21-year-old going on to make 33 appearances for the club to date.
And recalling what the German said to him ahead of his debut, where he marked the occasion with an assist in a 5-5 draw with Arsenal, the right-back hailed the ‘phenomenal’ work Klopp does behind the scenes to get the very best from all of his players.
“A few days before (we played Arsenal) we started doing shape work and I seem to be in starting XI in that shape work,” Williams, who is a McDonald’s Fun Football Ambassador and was speaking at a free Fun Football session, recalled. “So, I had an idea but no one told me that I was starting and I was just thinking to myself, ‘This can't be true’.
“Then Klopp came up to me and said, “You’re starting tomorrow.” Before the game he gave me a little pep talk saying, ‘Listen, don't worry about it. You'll probably be nervous but that will stop when that whistle goes, and you'll be completely fine’.
“And that's exactly what happened, as soon as that whistle goes you just completely focus on the game.
“Obviously, he is one of the best managers in the world. You see it now with what Liverpool are doing and what he’s done with players to transform them into who they are now.
“With the players he has bought in and how he has improved those players is phenomenal and he’s the best coach I have ever worked with. What he has done to players especially this season and how he transforms them into the players they are now is incredible.”

BERLIN (AP) — A Gambian man went on trial in Germany on Monday for his alleged role in the killing of government critics in the West African country over 15 years ago.
The 46-year-old suspect, who has been identified only as Bai L. in line with German privacy rules, is charged with crimes against humanity, murder and attempted murder.
German news agency dpa reported that the suspect didn’t respond to the charges as the trial opened at the state court in the northern town of Celle. There are no formal pleas in the German legal system.
Federal prosecutors say that the suspect was a driver for a unit known as the “patrol team,” or “Junglers,” from December 2003 until December 2006. The unit is alleged to have been deployed by then President Yahya Jammeh to carry out illegal killings to suppress the opposition and intimidate the public.
The suspect is alleged to have been involved in two killings and one attempted killing. German prosecutors say that he drove other members of the squad to kill a lawyer in the Gambian capital, Banjul, in late 2003. The lawyer survived with serious injuries.
German prosecutors say the unit killed a journalist in the town of Kanifing in 2004, and in 2006 assassinated an alleged critic of the president near Banjul’s airport.
Baba Hydara, the son of slain journalist Deyda Hydara — who was co-founder and managing editor of The Point newspaper and worked for Agence France Presse and Reporters Without Borders — has joined the trial as a co-plaintiff.
The suspect was arrested in March 2021 and has been detained since. Trial dates are scheduled into next year.
Jammeh ruled Gambia for 22 years. He lost a presidential election and went into exile in Equatorial Guinea in 2017 after initially refusing to step down. | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/world-news/alleged-ex-member-of-gambian-special-unit-tried-in-germany/ | 2022-04-25T21:24:33Z | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/world-news/alleged-ex-member-of-gambian-special-unit-tried-in-germany/ | true | 31 |

OTTAWA, April 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As part of our commitment to foster the growth and adoption of Zcash, the Zcash Community Grants Committee recently awarded 37 Laines, an award-winning film production house based in Los Angeles, two grants totalling $420,000 USD, which will be used for the production and distribution of high-quality Zcash educational content.
These grants have allowed 37 Laines to collect more than 30 hours of insightful educational footage from industry leaders in the cryptocurrency space, including Ethereum’s founder, Vitalik Buterin, and the Electric Coin Company’s CEO, Zooko Wilcox. 37 Laines has also launched Zcash Media, a multi-platform educational hub for distributing Zcash content, which they will use to manage the world premiere of their first two Zcash educational videos.
The first video, which was recently released on the Zcash Media YouTube and Odysee channels, tells a compelling story about the history of money, the origins of cryptocurrencies, and the importance of a truly private digital currency like Zcash.
On April 29th, 37 Laines will release their second video, which will focus on what is arguably the largest upgrade to the Zcash protocol since the launch of Zcash in 2016. This network upgrade (NU5) will be an incredible milestone for the developers of Zcash, as it will implement significant protocol improvements such as increased security as well as privacy by default for all Zcash transactions.
The added security from this network upgrade has presented the opportunity to finally reveal one of Zcash’s best-kept secrets – the identity of John Dobbertin. John Dobbertin was a pseudonymous participant in the Zcash setup process in 2016 whose identity was never revealed. However, this will soon change.
We are at the dawn of a new era of massively amplified learning, creativity and innovation. There now exists the means to make Zcash accessible to everyone in most parts of the world, and there are also adaptable digital learning tools to personalize the way everyone learns about Zcash.
“Crypto in general, and more specifically Bitcoin, is often portrayed as an anonymous and untraceable method of payment. This depiction implies that users can transact anonymously, without exposing their identity. However, this is not true,” said Jason McGee of the Zcash Community Grants Committee.
“By funding 37 Laines to produce and distribute top notch Zcash educational content, the Zcash Community Grants Committee aims to use learning tools to empower individuals all around the world to make informed decisions about their financial privacy,” said Brian, Zcash Community Grants Committee member.
“Our passion at 37 Laines has always been to tell stories about topics that matter and help make the world a better place. We saw the need for privacy in these new digital financial technologies as one of the issues that really matters as it helps maintain the safety of users and fight the types of mass digital surveillance we hear about every day,” said Natasha Mynhier of 37 Laines.
About Zcash Community Grants
Zcash Community Grants is a community-elected grants committee that funds Zcash-related projects in order to bring financial privacy to everyone in the world. Zcash Community Grants seeks to fund projects that advance the usability, security, privacy, and adoption of Zcash. The committee will consider grants of all sizes: from individual hobbyists, to larger organizations such as wallet developers and others – to build applications on top of the Zcash protocol. The goal of the Zcash Community Grants program is to tap into wider networks of crypto users and infrastructure, ultimately accelerating the growth and impact of Zcash.

'He's the best player I've worked with in every facet of the game': Saracens and England hooker Jamie George hails fit-again Owen Farrell as one of the all-time greats!
- Owen Farrell was man-of-the-match as Saracens beat Exeter on Sunday
- The fly-half missed the Six Nations after suffering back-to-back ankle injuries
- England head coach Eddie Jones set to reinstate him as captain for Australia tour
As a veteran of two Lions tours, Jamie George has worked with the finest British and Irish players of his generation, but he has hailed Owen Farrell as the best of the lot — and an all-time great.
England’s hooker was in the Saracens side who swept aside arch-rivals Exeter at StoneX Stadium on Sunday, in a Premiership match dominated by Farrell.
The national captain delivered a majestic man-of-the-match showing at fly-half, to emphatically confirm his recovery from back-to-back ankle injuries which ruled him out of the Six Nations.

Farrell’s all-court contribution suggested he is reaching a level of form beyond anything he has produced for a long time.
But George said his exploits were merely a resumption of normal service. His tribute was lavish and profound. ‘Owen is one of the best players that has ever played the game,’ he said. ‘Some of the criticism he gets, I can never get my head around. Come down to Saracens every week and watch him play — he’s the reason we’ve won as much as we have.’
Asked how he drives on his team-mates, George added: ‘With his voice, his actions and the way he prepares in the week. I can’t speak highly enough of him.

‘He’s the best player I’ve worked with in every facet of the game. When he was injured, he turned into our head coach, he’s that good. He’s so important to this team, on and off the field.’
Much is made of how vocal Farrell is during matches — imploring those around him to maintain their intensity. It provides a noisy but welcome soundtrack for his fellow Saracens. ‘You get used to it,’ said George. ‘Can you imagine playing with him? People hear it on the ref mic, but imagine being next to that when it is happening.
‘It is incredible. Do you know how hard it is to talk when you’re that tired? I talk a lot, but there are times in the game when I think, “I can’t do it”. He does it for 80 minutes, non-stop, relentlessly.’
Saracens hooker Jamie George was pleased to see the resumption of normal service
Eddie Jones would have been a satisfied observer and the England head coach is certain to recall Farrell for the tour of Australia — and reinstate him as captain.
His presence would revive the possibility of a 10-12 alliance with Marcus Smith, which was only fleetingly glimpsed in the autumn. If Manu Tuilagi, Henry Slade and Joe Marchant are all fit for the trip Down Under, Jones will have multiple options.
First, Saracens continue their quest to claim the Premiership and European Challenge Cup. ‘We want to win the league and Europe and we have got potential to do that,’ said George. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/article-10752443/Saracens-England-hooker-Jamie-George-hails-fit-Owen-Farrell-one-time-greats.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-25T21:28:10Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/article-10752443/Saracens-England-hooker-Jamie-George-hails-fit-Owen-Farrell-one-time-greats.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 2 |

MLB
DETROIT (AP)Miguel Cabrera needed only one at-bat Saturday to deliver his long-awaited 3,000th career hit, quickly reaching the mark as the Detroit Tigers routed the Colorado Rockies 13-0 in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.
Cabrera became the 33rd player in major league history and first Venezuelan-born player to reach the 3,000-hit mark when he grounded a first-inning single into right field.
NBA
NEW YORK (AP) – Ben Simmons has been ruled out of Game 4 of Brooklyn’s playoff series against Boston, making it possible he won’t play at all this season.
The Nets listed Simmons as out Sunday on the injury report for the game Monday night, when they will be trying to avoid a sweep by the Celtics.
Simmons has been working his way back from a herniated disk in his back and coach Steve Nash said before Game 3 on Saturday that the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft had no setbacks after a 3-on-3 scrimmage earlier in the day.
NEW YORK (AP) – Toronto forward Scottie Barnes was voted NBA Rookie of the Year on Saturday, edging Cleveland’s Evan Mobley in a close vote.
Barnes got 48 first-place votes and 378 points from a global panel of 100 sports writers and broadcasters. Mobley received 43 first-place votes and finished with 363 points.
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.
BOXING
LONDON (AP) – World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury retained his WBC title with a brutal sixth-round stoppage of fellow Briton Dillian Whyte in front of more than 94,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
A right uppercut from Fury sent Whyte to the canvas and the champion raised his right hand in celebration. Whyte, who appeared to lose a tooth from the mighty punch, got to his feet and tried to show he was ready to continue but then staggered, leading the referee to end the fight.
It was a 32nd win for the undefeated Fury, who defended his WBC belt for the second time and has talked of retiring at the age of 33.
GOLF
AVONDALE, La. (AP) – Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele held off Sam Burns and Billy Horschel by two strokes Sunday in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans to complete a record-setting, wire-to-wire victory.
Cantlay and Schauffele closed with an even-par-72 in late afternoon showers in the alternate-shot final round to finish at 29-under 259 at breezy TPC Louisiana, two shots ahead of Burns and Horschel.
The Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup partners broke the tournament record of 27 under set by Kevin Kisner-Scott Brown and Jonas Blixt-Cameron Smith in 2017, the first year the event was as a team event. Cantlay and Schauffele are the first wire-to-wire winners since the tournament adopted the team format.

IRVING, Texas (AP) – Scott Parel two-putted for birdie on the par-5 18th hole for a 6-under 65, and then won the inaugural ClubCorp Classic with a par on the same hole in a playoff for his second PGA Tour Champions title.
Parel won a three-man playoff at Las Colinas over Steven Alker and Gene Sauers, who both went into the hazard on the closing hole and failed to make par.
LA PINEDA, Spain (AP ) – Pablo Larrazabal made six birdies in a seven-hole stretch around the turn and closed with an 8-under 62 for a one-shot victory in the ISPS Handa Championship.
Larrazabal won for he seventh time on the European tour, and the first time in his native Spain.
The Spaniard started the final round in a tie for sixth until beginning his burst of birdies from the seventh hole. He finished at 15-under 265 and then had to wait to see if the score would hold up. Adrian Otaegui and Aaron Cockerill needed an eagle on the par-5 18th at Infinitum’s Lakes Course to force a playoff.
Adrian Otaegui shot a 66 to finish alone in second. Aaron Cockerill tied for third with Hennie Du Plessis. Each shot 67.
RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico (AP) – Thienna Huynh and Sara Im opened with two birdies in three holes and never trailed, holding on for a 1-up victory over Kaitly Schroeder and Bailey Shoemaker in the U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-ball.

Chastain just pointed his Chevrolet straight, slipped past the leaders and won for the second time in five races.
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) – Noah Gragson held off Jeffrey Earnhardt in triple overtime to win the Xfinity Series race at Talladega Superspeedway on Saturday for his second victory of the season.
Gragson restarted fourth on the outside of the second row but inherited the lead when JR Motorsports teammate Justin Allgaier ran out of gas and pulled out of traffic. Gragson had to work the No. 9 Chevrolet all over the wide Alabama superspeedway to hold off traffic and deny Earnhardt his first career victory.
TENNIS
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) – Teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz continued his impressive run by beating Pablo Carreno Busta in straight sets to win the Barcelona Open final on Sunday for his third title of the season.

Workers will flood the streets to call on the Board to #StaffUpContraCosta and invest in the vital services our County depends on
MARTINEZ, Calif., April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- County workers are urging the Board of Supervisors to address Contra Costa's staffing crisis, as hundreds of workers plan to march to the Board of Supervisors on April 26, during the regularly scheduled Board meeting. The march will include workers who staff our public hospital, clinics, COVID test sites, as well as workers who maintain our streets, safeguard our environment, and keep our libraries and courts open. A rally outside of the County Administration Building will feature speeches from frontline and essential workers, as well as a speech by Lorena Gonzalez, former State Assemblywoman (San Diego) and the incoming Secretary-Treasurer of the California Labor Federation.
What: "Staff Up Contra Costa!" March & Rally
When: Tuesday, April 26, 2022
- March begins at 11:30am
- Rally begins at 12pm
Where: Departing from 1 Ferry St., Martinez and marching to 1024 Escobar St., Martinez.
Who: Lorena Gonzalez, Contra Costa County Employees, and community allies. Unions include: SEIU Local 1021, IFPTE Local 21, Deputy District Attorneys Association, Western Council of Engineers, AFSCME Local 1, AFSCME Local 512, AFSCME Local 2700, Contra Costa Defender Association, and Teamsters 856, Contra Costa County Labor Council. The nine unions rallying together represent 6,200 county employees, and more than 2/3 of the county's total workforce.
Visuals: Hundreds of union members in union t-shirts and apparel with banners and signs, people giving speeches, marching and chanting, and spokespeople available for interviews.
BACKGROUND
In Contra Costa County, there are nearly 2,000 county job positions unfilled. With 1116 unfilled positions, the majority of vacancies are in the Health Services department. One of the departments hardest hit by vacancies is also tasked with addressing some of our county's most pressing challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Vacancies have an undeniable impact on the quality and speedy delivery of services from County departments. For further background, see StaffUpContraCosta.org
"We see in many cases, in the public sector in particular, individuals have one job but they're actually doing the job of two or multiple people," said Lorena Gonzalez, former CA Assemblywoman (San Diego) and incoming Secretary-Treasurer of the California Labor Federation. "One person's job should not be the job of two people and that's what we're seeing throughout Contra Costa County. Rather than being adequately staffed in public services in emergency situations, the government contracted work out that could've and should've been done by public sector workers had leaders built a workforce that could sustain tough times like a pandemic."
The Contra Costa Labor Council is the local body of the AFL-CIO. Over 85 unions are affiliated with the CCLC, representing more than 80,000 union members and their families. The mission of the Contra Costa Labor Council is to improve the lives of workers, their families, and our community – to bring economic justice to the workplace and social justice to the nation.

Cummings and Goings: The WVSports.com 3-2-1
WVSports.com continues with our popular feature: The 3-2-1. We'll breakdown three things we learned that week, two questions we have and give one prediction.
Here is the next installment of the 3-2-1 looking at the West Virginia football program, the latest on basketball and what’s happening in recruiting.
3 things I learned:
1—Spring in the books. West Virginia completed spring practice with the annual Gold-Blue game, a 22-21 win by the Gold team. It was a typical spring game but one that gave fans a glimpse of what to expect out of the new offensive scheme.
Graham Harrell's offense was deliberate with trying to push the ball down the field and create explosive plays which is must to the ears of anybody that followed this team a season ago. The Mountaineers took shot play after shot play and was able to catch the defense in some difficult matchups that resulted in some big plays.
That was one of the biggest takeaways as the offense certainly played well in the first half, while the defense settled in over the second half.

One of the organizers of a planned motorcycle convoy is warning of a “free-for-all” on Friday if Ottawa police don’t allow hundreds of protesters to bring their bikes onto the streets around Parliament Hill.
The “Rolling Thunder Ottawa” convoy plans to do a loop through downtown next weekend, with a stop planned at the National War Memorial.
Police say they will not allow vehicles in the area around Parliament Hill or the National War Memorial as part of a protest.
Ottawa police say the RCMP, Ontario Provincial Police and other city police services will send officers to help enforce the new rules.
Organizer Neil Sheard, who has been involved in protests against COVID-19 restrictions, says in a YouTube video that without a route to follow there will be a “free-for-all” and a safety issue, unless police reconsider.
Earlier this year, downtown Ottawa was gripped by a big-rig convoy protest that jammed city streets for three weeks, filling the city core with diesel fumes and the sound of air horns.

How Alaafin Adeyemi’s Successor Would Be Chosen– Head Of Princes
The race to succeed the Alaafin of Oyo,Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, who died on Friday might have begun.
Oba Adeyemi was buried Saturday night and dignitaries and residents of Oyo town have continued to troop to the palace to register their condolences.
The Baba Iyaji of Oyo, Prince Mukaila Afonja, who is also the Head of Princes in the town, told journalists at the palace on Monday that although none of the princes had openly declared interest yet because the period of mourning was still on.
He, how we said he was sure that the succession moves would have started discreetly among the interested princes.
Afonja said the interested princes from the next ruling house would submit their applications to him but he said nobody has brought any letter to him.
Baba Iyaji said further that he believed applicants interested in mounting the throne would start bringing their letters after the eight days of the passage of the king.
He said, ” The moves to succeed Oba Adeyemi would have begun as we are talking now but nobody has submitted application to me.
” I am the head of the Omooba ( princes) and as we are talking there could have been moves but nobody has submitted any application to me.
” The process is this, all the princes from the next ruling house, who are interested in becoming the Alaafin will submit their applications to me.
After screening them, I will now invite the Oyo Mesi and for example, if the applicants remains like two or a wieldy number, the Ifa Oracle will be consulted to know who among them should be chosen “
He said wealth or status alone would not be used as criterion for chosen the next Alaafin because, there would be negative consequences if the right person was not chosen.
He assured the people of the town that they would be guided by by fear of God and their love for Oyo town to.choose the best to ascend the throne. | https://thewhistler.ng/how-alaafin-adeyemis-successor-would-be-chosen-head-of-princes/ | 2022-04-25T21:42:47Z | https://thewhistler.ng/how-alaafin-adeyemis-successor-would-be-chosen-head-of-princes/ | false | 1 |
FARMINGTON, Conn. (AP) — Elevator manufacturer Otis Worldwide Corp. announced Monday it is reevaluating its future in Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
In an earnings conference call with industry analysts, Otis Chief Executive Judith Marks said the company was disheartened by the conflict's escalation and is exploring “alternatives for our Russia business that are in the best interests of all of our stakeholders.”
“We have growing concerns about the long-term sustainability of Otis’ operations in Russia, especially with mounting regulations and supply chain disruptions," as well as sanctions against Moscow, she said.
The West has moved to cut off Russia’s access to its foreign reserves, limit imports of key technologies and take other restrictive actions. More than 300 companies have pulled out, and international supply chains have largely shut down after container company Maersk, UPS, DHL and other transportation firms exited Russia.
Marks said Otis would exclude Russia from its financial results and forecasts for the time being.
She said Otis is now “evaluating the best ownership structure for the business, whether that’s with us or somewhere else.”
The Farmington, Connecticut-based company said its operations in Russia represented approximately 2% of its 2021 revenue, based mostly on new equipment sales.
“We remain hopeful for return to peace and stability in the region and we will continue to contribute to the ongoing relief and humanitarian efforts necessary for those most impacted by this crisis,” Marks added.
In March, Otis announced it would not take new elevator and escalator orders in Russia and not make new investments in the country “for the time being.” | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Otis-elevators-rethinks-business-in-Russia-over-17125723.php | 2022-04-25T21:44:09Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Otis-elevators-rethinks-business-in-Russia-over-17125723.php | false | 30 |

Jimenez scored two goals in Toronto’s wild 5-4 loss to New York City FC on Sunday night at Citi Field and now has six goals in eight games in MLS. Jimenez’s move to Toronto has turned out to be one of the best off-season acquisitions in Major League Soccer this year.
The Reds grabbed Jimenez from Polish side Górnik Zabrze (The Miners) and the native of Leganés, Spain hasn’t disappointed, the signing made even better given that TFC was able to get the 28-year-old on a non Designated Player contract over two and a half years.

With his brace against defending MLS Cup champions NYCFC, Jiménez now has six goals, leading the MLS scoring race, along with Sebastián Driussi of Austin FC.
“I think Jesús is a very good player. His movement is very good,” said TFC coach Bob Bradley after Sunday’s match. “He’s a very smart player and when we continue to grow as a team, I think his all-around contribution is going to get bigger and bigger.”

The Spaniard staked the Reds to an early 1-0 lead with a tidy finish in close, redirecting a first-time effort off a perfect feed from Jonathan Osorio past NYC goalkeeper Sean Johnson. The game marked the 300th appearance for Osorio as a member of the Reds – a record for any TFC player.
Jimenez would complete his brace in the 28th minute, collecting a perfectly weighted through ball from Kosi Thompson before chipping the ball over Johnson to stake TFC to a 2-0 lead in New York. Rookie midfielder Thompson, 19, picked up an assist on both of Jimenez’s goals. TFC attacking midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo recorded assists on the Toronto goals scored by Deandre Kerr, his first-ever MLS goal, and Michael Bradley in the final minutes of Sunday’s match.

(The Center Square) – A Pennsylvania Senate Majority Policy Committee hearing on crime and public safety dwelled on two issues: the need for more funding and officers to address crime, and the lack of mental health support for struggling people.
Two panels spoke to a number of Republican senators; one comprised local law enforcement officers and the other a state judge, public defender, and district attorney.
“Crime knows no boundaries,” said Sen. Mario Scavello, R-Monroe/Northampton.
Drugs were a recurring issue in the hearing, creating more problems and changing police officers’ focus.
“Heroin has overtaken us and it requires most of our police attention,” said Michael Burgan, chief of police in Richland Township (Bucks County).
Ficco said DUI cases related to drugs went from 1% in 2006 to 40% to 50% today. He also blamed anti-police sentiment for recruiting struggles, driving down the number of applicants the police department sees for open jobs.
Police Chief Richard Pritchard pointed to similar issues in Johnstown, with a lack of funding and boots on the ground, as did Det. Sgt. Cory Adams.
“Nothing’s sacred anymore. Drugs (are) a major problem, but morals,” Adams said. “We’re seeing a lot of younger children not only killing people, but being murdered. ... It’s unfathomable what happens in this region. Drugs are a major problem.”
A lingering problem panelists noted is the absence of effective programs to deal with drug issues and a lack of mental health support.
“People with mental health issues should not be in jail, but we are incarcerating them for their own safety,” said Norman Krumenacke, president judge in Cambria County.
Maribeth Schaffer, the chief public defender in Cambria County, echoed Krumenacke. “It’s a huge vicious cycle, but my hands are tied because there are no programs available for me to help any of these people,” Schaffer said.
“When you’re looking at policies, you have to look at the mental health. There’s not enough to help us,” Schaffer said. She suggested pre-trial programs as a potential place to improve the system, as well as involving public defenders more in county-wide committees on mental health.
“I might sound like I’m begging for money – I’m just asking for help,” Schaffer said.
As the Commonwealth has just shy of $2 billion, Scavello saw an opportunity.
“We have a tremendous amount of federal dollars,” he said. “Use them for the right reasons. This would be a great opportunity to build a medical facility in the middle of the Commonwealth” to treat prisoners with drug problems or mental issues who “don’t belong there (in prison).” | https://www.thecentersquare.com/pennsylvania/on-crime-drugs-mental-illness-pennsylvania-local-authorities-see-a-resource-problem/article_dd3b6c8c-c4db-11ec-a5d7-1f48852c6e8d.html | 2022-04-25T21:48:15Z | https://www.thecentersquare.com/pennsylvania/on-crime-drugs-mental-illness-pennsylvania-local-authorities-see-a-resource-problem/article_dd3b6c8c-c4db-11ec-a5d7-1f48852c6e8d.html | false | 2 |

Elon Musk buys Twitter for $44B and will privatize company
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Elon Musk reached an agreement to buy Twitter for roughly $44 billion on Monday, promising a more lenient touch to policing content on the platform where he promotes his interests, attacks critics and opines on a wide range of issues to more than 83 million followers. The outspoken Tesla CEO, who is also the world’s wealthiest person, has said he wanted to buy and privatize Twitter because he thinks it’s not living up to its potential as a platform for free speech. The risk is that Musk goes too far in his hands off approach, potentially alienating users and advertisers. Shares of Twitter Inc. rose 5% Monday to $51.70 per share, below the $54.20 he offered for the company.

Amazon union could face a tough road ahead after victory
NEW YORK (AP) — In the aftermath of their hard-won labor victory, Amazon workers in the New York City borough of Staten Island popped Champagne, cheered their victory and danced in celebration. But their jovial attitude will be tested by a company that seems likely to drag its feet to the bargaining table. The nascent Amazon Labor Union, or ALU, has said it wants longer breaks for warehouse employees, more time off and a dramatically higher minimum hourly wage of $30, up from just over $18 per hour now at the Staten Island facility. To achieve anything close to that, the grassroots union would need to negotiate a contract with Amazon that both sides, as well as union members, agree on.

Rich trio back on Earth after charter trip to space station
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Three rich businessmen are back on Earth with their astronaut escort after a pricey trip to the International Space Station. SpaceX flew them back Monday, wrapping up a 17-day chartered flight that marked the first time NASA opened its space hatches to tourists. The trip cost the trio $55 million apiece. Their stay was supposed to last a little over a week, but dicey weather kept the visitors in orbit almost twice as long as intended. Houston-based Axiom Space handled the logistics for the trip for its three paying customers. The company plans a second flight next spring.

Buffett to auction off one last private lunch for charity
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The world’s most expensive lunch will go on sale again this spring when investor Warren Buffett auctions off a private meal to raise money for a California homeless charity one last time. Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway’s CEO, held the online lunch auction once a year for 20 years before the pandemic began to raise money for the Glide Foundation, which helps the homeless in San Francisco. The auction has been on hiatus for the past two years. Buffett has raised nearly $34.5 million for the charity over the years. Many of the past winners have been investors who revere Buffett for his remarkable track record of finding undervalues companies and stocks to buy. The bidding starts June 12.

County grants approval for Amazon’s helix-shaped HQ tower
FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — The Arlington County Board has given unanimous approval to Amazon’s plans to build a unique, helix-shaped tower as the centerpiece of its emerging second headquarters in northern Virginia. Amazon announced plans last year for the 350-foot tower. It will support a second headquarters for Amazon that is expected to welcome more than 25,000 workers when it’s complete. The helix stands out among several office towers granted approval in the redevelopment plans. The spiral design features a walkable ramp wrapping around the building with trees and greenery planted to resemble a mountain hike. The County Board approved the project at its Saturday meeting.

German ex-Chancellor Schroeder urged to leave Scholz party
BERLIN (AP) — The co-leader of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s party says former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder should leave the party. Schroeder’s ties to the Russian energy industry have left him increasingly isolated at home. One of two co-leaders of Scholz’s center-left Social Democrats said in a radio interview Monday that “Gerhard Schroeder has been acting for many years now only as a businessman.” Saskia Esken also said that Schroeder “earns his money with work for Russian state companies.” Esken replied when asked whether Schroeder should leave the party that “He should.”

China promotes coal in setback for efforts to cut emissions
BEIJING (AP) — China is promoting coal-fired power as the ruling Communist Party tries to revive a sluggish economy, prompting warnings that Beijing is setting back efforts to cut climate-changing carbon emissions from the biggest global source. News reports say official plans call for boosting coal production capacity by 300 million tons this year. That is equal to 7% of last year’s output of 4.1 billion tons. China is one of the biggest investors in wind and solar, but jittery leaders called for more coal-fired power after economic growth plunged and shortages caused blackouts and factory shutdowns. Russia’s attack on Ukraine added to anxiety that foreign oil and coal supplies might be disrupted.

Otis elevators rethinks business in Russia over Ukraine war
FARMINGTON, Conn. (AP) — Elevator manufacturer Otis Worldwide Corp. is reevaluating its future in Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. Otis Chief Executive Judith Marks spoke during an earnings conference call with industry analysts Monday. She says the company is disheartened by the escalation of the crisis and is evaluating the best ownership structure for the business, whether that’s with Otis or somewhere else. The company has said its operations in Russia represented approximately 2% of its 2021 revenue, based mostly on new equipment sales. In March, Otis announced it would not take new elevator and escalator orders in Russia and not make new investments in the country.

The long awaited construction of Kitsumkalum First Nation’s new school is underway following a ground breaking ceremony last week.
The bid for the 1,200 square metre ‘Na Aksa Gyilak’yoo School building was awarded to Vancouver Island-based CCM Construction Ltd.
While the estimated cost of the project has not been revealed, Phase 1 of the multimillion dollar project is jointly funded by the Kitsumkalum First Nation and Indigenous Services Canada.
The first nation will be contributing both capital funding and building materials for the school.
Phase 2 will see the construction of a gymnasium and efforts are underway to secure construction monies. As of now, the Prince Rupert Port Authority has committed to contribute $200,000 toward the cost of the gymnasium through its Community Investment Fund.
“The ground-breaking ceremony yesterday was a great day and an important milestone in this project that has been so long in the making,” said Kitsumkalum Chief Councillor Don Roberts April 21.
The K-12 school building will accommodate 80 students across five classrooms. The building will be complete with a multipurpose room and office spaces.
The single-storey wood frame school building is being built on a section of cleared land alongside the West Kalum Forest Service Road not far from its intersection with Hwy 16.
It will replace aged and inadequate structures now occupied along Spokechute Rd. where Kitsumkalum’s other public sector services are located.
The new location, which was cleared in preparation for eventual construction a year and a half ago, will include a bus loop in addition to parking and a circular playing field.
Students now study in separate but adjacent buildings connected by pathways, including Kitsumkalum’s former health centre, a building that once belonged to School District 82.
Roberts said the old school facilities are temporary structures that have reached the end of their serviceable life, and the new school will provide modern facilities for learning.
“It is extremely important for Kitsumkalum youth to be educated in their own language and culture,” he said, adding the school has three key focuses – culture, language and individual student support.
“The individual support means that no student is left behind – students weren’t able to keep up in the provincial school system and ended up left behind. At ‘Na Aksa Gyilak’yoo, every student is supported.”
A design committee from Kitsumkalum will work with architects on the exterior design of the building.
The new school building is expected to be complete and open by September 2023.
