No position in the NFL has undergone more changes to the style of player over the years than tight end.
Long gone are the days of the blocking specialists who serve mainly as an extra offensive lineman. While guys such as Rob Gronkowski, George Kittle and Travis Kelce are excellent run-blockers, they’re outstanding receivers and major playmakers on offense.
“If you go back to the 70s, 80s and maybe even early 90s, the tight end was always an afterthought, the safety valve, the quarterback’s third option,” said agent Jack Bechta, who represents Kittle, the highest-paid tight end in league history. “Tight ends were never the feature of an offense or never the go-to guy in crucial situations. Now, the pendulum is kind of swinging the other way. I think you have to give credit to what the Saints did with Jimmy Graham, taking a basketball player and getting a very superior athletic guy and just torching safeties. Nobody tries to cover a tight end with a linebacker anymore. Before, that was the norm.
“The evolution of the position has become more valuable, more dynamic, more athletic and now it’s a must-have. It’s not the appetizer to the meal. It’s a must-have.”
Kyle Pitts is the new wave player, a tight end in a wide receiver’s body. Pitts became the highest-drafted tight end in NFL history when Atlanta selected him fourth overall last year.
Finding hybrid guys such as Pitts is rare.
Most draft analysts don’t anticipate a tight end going in the first round this week.
“I think it’s a pretty good tight end draft,” NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah said. “There’s no Kyle Pitts, but there is a ton of depth.”
Only nine tight ends have been selected in the first round over the past decade and four of the 10 first rounds saw none taken. Pitts and Detroit’s T.J. Hockenson (No. 8 in 2019) were among the exceptions. Noah Fant was picked 20th overall by Denver in 2019 and he was part of the trade to Seattle for Russell Wilson.
Most of the NFL’s prolific receiving tight ends were drafted after the first round.
Gronkowski, Zach Ertz, Hunter Henry, Dallas Goedert and Mike Gesicki were second-rounders. Kittle, Kelce and Mark Andrews went in the third, Dalton Schultz in the fourth and Darren Waller in the sixth.
“I think you want guys that are dynamic but it’s also sure nice to be able to put your hand in the ground and be a friend to the running back and not just the quarterback,” Jeremiah said.
“If you go and look at the top tight ends in the NFL and for the most part look at their production with guys like George Kittle, it’s a traits-over-production position right now. You’re trying to find guys that have the ability to do those things. You don’t necessarily need to have seen them do it, but they need to have that ability.”
Colorado State’s Trey McBride is widely considered the top tight end in the upcoming draft and most boards expect him to go in the second round. Experts say he has good hands but isn’t a dynamic runner after the catch and his blocking is only solid.
UCLA’s Greg Dulcich, Ohio State’s Jeremy Ruckert, San Diego State’s Daniel Bellinger, Texas A&M’s Jalen Wydermyer, Coastal Carolina’s Isaiah Likely, Wisconsin’s Jake Ferguson, Iowa State’s Charlie Kolar and Washington’s Cade Otton are among the tight end prospects expected to go in the draft.
Ruckert only got 42 targets because Ohio State had two likely first-round receivers in Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave.
“He’s kind of a good, true wide tight end, hand-in-the-ground, not real flashy, not real explosive, but he can help you out in the run game and he’s a reliable pass catcher,” Jeremiah said. “I gave him a grade that kind of puts him in that fourth-round range for this draft.”
With Gronkowski undecided about returning and O.J. Howard, a first-round pick in 2017, gone to Buffalo, Tampa Bay might be considering a tight end.
“I’d say it’s pretty solid,” Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said of the tight end class. “There’s some good players. There’s never as many tight ends as there are receivers or running backs or offensive linemen, but I would say it’s pretty solid.”

Solapur (Maharashtra) [India], April 26 (ANI): Raising concerns over the surplus sugarcane production in Solapur, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday urged sugar mills owners to reduce the production of sugar and increase the production of ethanol.
Gadkari was in Solapur on Monday for the foundation stone-laying ceremony of national highway projects. The minister said if the production goes on like this, then farmers would have no option other than suicide.

Meanwhile, India's sugar exports surged by 64.9 per cent to $4.6 billion in the financial year 2021-22 from $2.79 billion recorded in the previous year, according to the latest government data.
As per data released by the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCI&S), India exported sugar to 121 countries across the world during the financial year ended March 2022.

India is the world's second-largest sugar producer after Brazil. Since 2010-11, India has consistently produced surplus sugar, comfortably exceeding the domestic requirements. The record exports would enable the sugar producers to reduce their stocks and would also benefit the sugarcane farmers, as the increased demand for Indian sugar is likely to improve their realisations, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said in a statement.
Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka account for nearly 80 per cent of the total sugar production in the country. The other major sugarcane-producing states are Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Haryana, and Punjab. (ANI)

The Premier of B.C. is turning heads after a rather heated exchange over family doctor shortages while in Question Period in the B.C. Legislature Monday (April 25).
At the time of the incident, B.C. Liberal MLAs were pointing to Health Minister Adrian Dix and Premier John Horgan for inaction in response to a report that has found one-in-five British Columbians currently don’t have a family doctor.
“A million British Columbians are without a family doctor, and that is not acceptable,” Surrey-White Rock MLA Trevor Halford could be heard saying.
“When will this premier step up in this house and give British Columbians the reassurance they need that they will be supported by a family doctor?”
Horgan responded, asking: “Do you want to hear it man, or do you just want to hear your voice? Why don’t you go in the bathroom and talk to yourself in there, because you don’t want to hear answers in this place.”
In clips showing the end of the exchange, Horgan can be seen waving his hand dismissively and says “Aw f—-.”
A 10-minute recess was called by House Speaker Raj Chouhan shortly after.
Since the afternoon debate, the Liberals have asked for an apology, while Horgan took to Twitter acknowledging the slip-up, writing: “If my mom was still around, she’d be on her way to the Legislature with a bar of Irish Spring.”
An online petition calling on the province to take action on the doctor shortage has been signed by more 31,000 people since it was launched three months ago.
Victoria and Kelowna residents face the longest wait times to access doctors via walk-in clinics, according to a report last week from Medimap, a Canadian tech company that allows patients to see wait times at various clinics virtually and in some regions check in virtually, as well.

Police are searching for a man who allegedly shot at two women as they emerged from a unit in Brisbane’s eastern suburbs early on Tuesday morning.
The two women, aged 41 and 32, were leaving the unit on Adelaide Street in Carina just after 6am when they were approached by a man from a silver BMW parked nearby.
Police said the man then fired a single shot at the women. It missed, and neither of them were physically injured.
The man then allegedly returned to his car and fled the area along Adelaide Street towards Stanley Road.
Investigators said they were still working to determine whether there was a link between the shooter and the two women.
Police urged anyone with information that could identify the man or the silver BMW, which was in the area between 4am and 6.30am, to contact police. | https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/apr/26/carina-shooting-women-shot-at-adelaide-st-unit-brisbane-queensland | 2022-04-26T02:38:31Z | https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/apr/26/carina-shooting-women-shot-at-adelaide-st-unit-brisbane-queensland | true | null |

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — Months after a homeless camp in Kalamazoo was cleared by police, a community housing project is looking to help address that problem by providing more than just a few roofs over their heads.
Since the encampment was cleared on the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority site in October, many have wondered what would happen to the land. Michelle Johnson, CEO of nonprofit Playgrown, said volunteers and advocates were looking into the lead, cadmium, chromium, selenium and arsenic contaminating the ground while seeking a solution.
“We were assessing the soil quality, identifying what the issues were on this land and what the dangers were as well, simultaneous with talking with folks about what kind of housing they wanted,” Johnson said.
One of three planned developments along Ampersee is the Ampersee Home Start Initiative, a collaboration between Playgrown, the Institute of Public Scholarship and KDBrown Designs. To avoid exposure to the metals, co-op housing community would sit opposite of the Brownfield site, north of Hotop Avenue. Their plan is to build 10 homes, raised garden beds and a community courtyard, among other amenities.
Jennifer Mills of Kalamazoo College serves as the grant writer for the project.
“By creating a cooperative model, you get to feel like you’re having control of how the community is run, you’re investing your time, you’re able to generate the conditions that you know you need, which is no different than what you and I want in our home space,” Mills explained.
With accessibility being a concern for prospective tenants, designers, including Kenyotta Brown, and architects plan to have at least half of these homes ADA-compliant.
“Whenever you do have a project that is here to support the needs of the community, the one thing that you don’t want to do is to create a barrier to an opportunity,” Brown said.
Those with the project say fair-housing laws and guidelines will be followed so that anyone needing a roof over their head can be accommodated, especially those who are considered marginalized, like mothers, people of color and the LGBTQ community.
Tiyanna Williams, who serves as equitable development consultant for the project, was among the volunteers asking for input from advocates, neighbors living near the site and people without a home.
“Folks really feel like they are a part of this project. They are at the table, the intentionality of bringing in the voices,” Williams said.
Along with a handful of grants, the project recently received a $318,000 award from the Kalamazoo County Housing Millage. Advocates say $4 million is still needed to fully fund it. Anyone willing to donate is welcome to reach out by email.
If all goes according to plan, construction will start as early as mid-fall and take about a year to finish. | https://www.woodtv.com/news/kalamazoo-county/new-development-planned-near-former-kzoo-homeless-camp/ | 2022-04-26T02:47:35Z | https://www.woodtv.com/news/kalamazoo-county/new-development-planned-near-former-kzoo-homeless-camp/ | true | 1 |

Lock Upp day 57 written updates: Munawar Faruqui says Payal Rohatgi called Saisha Shinde a man
- Lock Upp day 57 written updates: Payal Rohatgi apologised to transgender community after she called Saisha Shinde a man on the show.
On Monday's episode of the ongoing reality show Lock Upp, Munawar Faruqui claimed that Payal Rohatgi had called Saisha Shinde a man. Payal said that she did not remember her exact words, but only meant to say that Saisha is a physically strong person. (Also read: Munawar Faruqui breaks down on Lock Upp, recalls traumatic childhood incident)
After the task for the day was over, Prince Narula asked Payal, "Maine to suna nahi Munawar ne suna hai. Kya apne ye kaha meri team me do ladke the? Saisha aur main? (I did not hear this but Munawar did. Did you say that my team had two men, Saisha and me)?"
Payal told him, "Maine us hisab se nahi bola tha, mudda mat banaiye is baat ko. Apne bola is team me do ladke hain to maine bola ki Prince bhi strong hai aur Saisha bhi ladke jaisi strong hai. Bahut cheap mudda hai ye, besharmi ki hadd hai (That is not how I meant it, do not create an issue out of this. When you said my team had two men -Shivam Sharma and Munawar, that is when I said your team had a strong person in you and Saisha is also strong like a man. This is a cheap and shameless issue). No Saisha, I did not say it like this."
Munawar then claimed that Payal called Saisha a man and even gestured laughing at her. "Prince said we won because we had two men in the team and Payal then said 'you also had two men, Prince and Saisha'. When I told Payal 'don't do it', she smiled and did this (gestured mocking laughter) before she said, 'I meant you had two strong people Saisha and Prince.' If I am not saying the exact words that Payal used, I will walk out of the show."
Payal yelled that she did not abuse anybody. "I did not abuse anyone, They were talking about the strength of a man. That is how I meant it." Saisha, who was working in the kitchen with Payal at the time, asked if she actually said the team had two men. Payal said that she did not mean it as such.
Payal added, "I will still say this, I consider you have the strength of a man. All I meant was she is as strong as a man."
Later, while talking to Azma Fallah and Shivam, Payal looked at the camera and said, "If I have said that, I apologise to Saisha, her family and friends and transgender community. But that was not my intention at all. All I meant was that she has the physical strength of a man." Azma reminded her that it was a sexist statement. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/web-series/lock-upp-day-57-written-updates-munawar-faruqui-says-payal-rohatgi-called-saisha-shinde-a-man-101650931405012.html | 2022-04-26T02:54:25Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/web-series/lock-upp-day-57-written-updates-munawar-faruqui-says-payal-rohatgi-called-saisha-shinde-a-man-101650931405012.html | true | 2 |
Primary and Upper Primary schools in West Bengal are finding it difficult to serve midday meals to students due to the hike in prices of essential commodities, according to authorities of different schools in districts.
The Bengal Primary Teachers' Association has drawn the attention of the School Education Department to the issue and demanded the present midday meal allocation of Rs 4.97 for every student at the primary level and Rs 7.45 for every student at the upper primary level be raised so that the midday meal menu is not tinkered with for the children and their nutritional aspects are not compromised.

Why The U.S. Government Is Suing Starbucks
When Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said "there is power in numbers," per ThoughtCo, he was referencing the truism that when otherwise powerless individuals unite in the name of an ideal, their collective strength may be enough to subvert even the most trenchant tyranny. This is the essence of democracy. It's also the reason labor unions were granted the legal right to exist in 1935 and, more importantly, to compel their related employers to bargain with them in good faith on behalf of their member employees, per Workplace Fairness.
On the other hand, the power in numbers applies also to money, as Starbucks clearly understands as it leverages its own considerable numbers to fight what it seems to believe is the good fight against its employees' efforts to unionize, per Time. The company's efforts include rehiring famously anti-union two-time Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz at the same moment in history when more than 140 company-owned Starbucks locations had initiated full-on efforts to unionize (via Vice).
The coffee chain has devoted some of its money-throwing to initiating two lawsuits against Worker's United (per CNBC). It is also defending some 80 lawsuits brought by the union (per NPR). Now, Starbucks will also be drawing on its "numbers" to fight a lawsuit brought by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for its purported treatment of pro-union workers (per the NLRB).
The National Labor Relations Board is suing Starbucks for alleged retaliation against union organizers
On April 20, Starbucks filed suit with the NLRB, alleging Workers United employed illegal tactics in organizing Starbucks employees, per CNBC. Two days later, the NLRB turned around and sued Starbucks, alleging the company engaged in unfair labor practices by firing three employees involved in unionizing efforts. According to a press release from the NLRB, on April 22, "NLRB Region 28 Regional Director Cornele Overstreet petitioned in United States District Court for injunctive relief for victims of unfair labor practices in three cases involving Starbucks retaliating against members of the union organizing committee."
The aims of NLRB's petition include "the immediate reinstatement" of the three terminated employees and having disciplinary actions removed from their records. "Employees have the fundamental right to choose whether or not they want to be represented by the union without restraint or coercion by their employer," Overstreet stated. "Immediate injunctive relief is necessary to ensure that [Starbucks] does not profit nationwide from its illegal conduct," among other things.
For its part, Starbucks told NPR that it "wholly disagree[s]" with the NLRB's allegations. The "partners," as Starbucks refers to its employees, "were terminated because they violated our established policies," a Starbucks spokesperson stated. "A partner's interest in union representation does not exempt them from the standards we've put in place to protect partners, customers, and the communities that we serve." | https://www.mashed.com/843325/why-the-u-s-government-is-suing-starbucks/ | 2022-04-26T03:09:24Z | https://www.mashed.com/843325/why-the-u-s-government-is-suing-starbucks/ | false | 1 |

Al-Shaair had a breakout 2021 campaign, recording 102 tackles (58 solo), two sacks, five passes defensed, an interception, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. All of which matched or became career highs. The 24-year-old went undrafted out of Florida Atlantic and spent the majority of the previous two seasons contributing on special teams. Al-Shaair will look to build on his 2021 success next season.

LAHORE: The final segment of the three-segment Royal Palm Ramzan Golf Tournament 2022 culminated at the Royal Palm Golf Course here on Monday. In this race for sacred and devotional honors, the golf player who surfaced as the endearingly successful one was Rana Usman. Through accurate hitting on the par 4 and par 5 holes, admirable shot making off the fairways and backed by nerve free putting on the greens, Usman compiled an aggregate score of net 65, which represented total excellence and fetched him the Royal Palm Ramzan Rose Bowl title for the year 2022. During the course of this effort, he faced a determined challenge from players like Rahim Nasir, Junaid Fazal, Jehanzeb Khan, Sardar Aqil, Abid Farooq, Jaudat Hussain, Haroon Ali Khan and Nisar Zaman who made a steady and incessant effort to capture the numinous and inspiring title but in the ultimate reckoning, it was Rana Usman who stood out and others had to be content with positions in the runner-up slots. As for the runner-up position achiever, full commendation for the way Nisar Zaman displayed his golfing acumen which fetched him an impressive net score of 68 and helped him to emerge as the notable one behind the champion Usman. The third position was secured by SM Shakeel with a score of net 68 but he lost to Nisar as his score over the second segment was more than Nisar’s. In the allied events, M Abid had the honour of winning the first gross with a score of gross 71. agencies | https://dailytimes.com.pk/925743/joy-for-usman-in-royal-palm-ramzan-golf/ | 2022-04-26T03:11:49Z | https://dailytimes.com.pk/925743/joy-for-usman-in-royal-palm-ramzan-golf/ | false | 1 |

Twitter on Monday night confirmed that it is going to sell itself to Elon Musk in a deal worth $44 billion. While it will take some time for the deal to close, Elon Musk is already talking about his plans for the social media site. These plans are the reiteration of what we have heard from Musk, who also happens to be the world’s richest person, in the last 10-odd days since he made his offer to buy Twitter.
Once the deal competes, which is supposed to happen by the end of 2022, Twitter will cease to exist as a publicly listed company. Instead, it will become a private company fully owned by Elon Musk. Only time will tell which way Twitter will go, but as far as Musk’s plan is concerned, he wants to turn it into a true town square where everyone can debate and say things without risking censorship or blocking.
At least that is what Musk says in his statement. Here is what he says, "Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated," said Mr. Musk. "I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.”
Let’s parse this and simplify.
Free speech on Twitter: This is the ultimate goal of Elon Musk. He believes that everyone should be able to say what they want to say on Twitter without running into censorship or block. Although, previously he did qualify that by free speech he meant everything that was legal. If Musk goes ahead with his plan to uphold a sort of absolute free speech on Twitter, the result may end up interesting. The world in the last 10 years has seen that already on social media there is way too much free speech, allowing people to spread misinformation, hate and abuse. So, it will be interesting to see how Musk will balance free speech with the concerns a lot of Twitter users or governments might have.
Defeat for bots: It is well known that Twitter has millions of bot accounts. Musk believes that he can get rid of these bots by using advanced AI techniques to identify them. The challenge, however, would be to differentiate between real bots and Twitter users who act like bots. For example, many Twitter users copy-paste tweets from other users, or simply behave like they are part of a herd. It may prove challenging for Musk to identify such users and not purge them along with bots.
Blue ticks for all: Apart from getting rid of bot, Musk also plans to authenticate ALL human users of Twitter. Effectively this means that everyone on Twitter will have the Blue Tick of authentication if Musk can carry out his plan.
Open-source algorithms: And finally, Musk is intending to focus on transparency. He believes that Twitter is an important part of life in our world and current times and it needs to be transparent in how it handles the content its users generate. In other words, Musk wants the world to see and know how Twitter ranks different tweets in a time, how it distributes the content to other users, how some tweets spread far and wide while some don’t go anywhere, and what are the factors that may increase or reduce the visibility of a tweet or a user. Musk says that the code which covers all of this should be out in the open. This is an audacious promise! Whether it comes true or not, only time will tell. | https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/what-will-elon-musk-do-with-twitter-blue-ticks-for-all-open-source-algorithms-and-purging-of-bots-1941869-2022-04-26 | 2022-04-26T03:20:43Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/what-will-elon-musk-do-with-twitter-blue-ticks-for-all-open-source-algorithms-and-purging-of-bots-1941869-2022-04-26 | true | 3 |
Australia, NZ dlrs sent reeling as China worries shake commodities
By Wayne Cole
SYDNEY, April 26 (Reuters) - The Australian and New Zealand dollars were deep under water on Tuesday as concerns about the impact of coronavirus lockdowns on Chinese demand sank commodity prices and risk trades in general.
The Aussie was lying at $0.7185 AUD=D3, having hit a two-month low of $0.7135 overnight when a break of its 200-day moving average at $0.7294 triggered stop-loss selling.
It has now shed 2.6% in just two sessions and risks a further retracement to support around $0.7086/95.
The kiwi dollar was huddled at $0.6623 NZD=D3, after touching a three-month trough of $0.6584 overnight. It is down 4.5% for the month so far and risks breaking its January low of $0.6531.
Both were undermined by sharp falls in commodity prices with iron ore - Australia's biggest export earner - particularly hard hit as China accounts for 70%-75% of the world's imports of the steel-making ingredient.
"Iron ore demand face immediate headwinds from potential lockdown extensions in Tangshan," noted CBA analyst Vivek Dhar. "The city is a major steel-making hub, accounting for around 14% of China's crude steel output."
A sharp decline in the Chinese yuan added to the pressure as investors often use the Antipodean currencies as liquid proxies for the Asian currency.
The Aussie will also be tested by local data when consumer prices for the first quarter are released on Wednesday, with markets braced for a red-hot report.
The Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) preferred measure of core inflation - the trimmed mean - is seen jumping 1.2% in the quarter taking annual inflation to 3.4%.
That would be the highest reading since mid-2009 and take inflation above the RBA's 2%-3% target band, ending years of undershooting and making it hard to justify keeping interest rates at emergency lows of 0.1%.
"At the RBA's May 3 meeting we expect the Board will adopt a clear tightening bias in anticipation of a move in June," said Westpac chief economist Bill Evans, who now expects the central bank to hike to 0.5% in June, rather than to 0.25%.
Futures 0#YIB: for some time have been more than fully priced for a move to 0.25% in June and are now odds-on for a whole hike to 0.5%. RBAWATCH
The market also sees rates reaching at least 2.25% by year end, which would be one of the most aggressive tightening cycles on record if it comes about.
Evans sees rates at 1.5% by Christmas and peaking at 2% in the middle of next year.

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – Berkeley County Council on Monday voted in favor of rezoning several hundred acres in the Cordesville community from preservation residential zoning to agricultural zoning.
In 1987, the lots were zoned as agricultural. Then, in 1997, 62 parcels of land were rezoned to R-15 without the knowledge of many landowners. The county gave land owners the option to switch back to the original zoning without charge.
County Council sent out a release prior to the meeting reading in part:
“Berkeley County is working to rezone specific parcels in the Cordesville community to remedy possible procedural errors from the late 1990s. In order to reach this goal, the County’s Planning and Zoning Department is utilizing proper due process and actively engaging with Cordesville property owners.”
Many conservation groups opposed the change, arguing that rezoning the properties would lead to overdevelopment of the area.
During the meeting, some councilmembers took steps to mitigate concerns, noting that much of the land would remain protected under easements or by national parks regardless of the zoning.
Likewise, some councilmembers noted that the change in zoning is optional, and some landowners may choose not to rezone. | https://www.counton2.com/news/local-news/berkeley-county-news/berkeley-county-approves-rezoning-of-hundreds-of-acres-in-cordesville/ | 2022-04-26T03:33:35Z | https://www.counton2.com/news/local-news/berkeley-county-news/berkeley-county-approves-rezoning-of-hundreds-of-acres-in-cordesville/ | false | 1 |
A government study of 450 people says that "mixing vaccines may enhance the immune response" to the COVID-19 virus.
In light of that research by the National Institutes of Health, some public health experts tell the I-Team people might want to switch vaccines when getting booster shots.
"Different vaccines, especially those that use different technologies, stimulate your immune system in different ways, and when you mix and match you might get an added boost," says Dr. Amesh Adalja of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, who mixed vaccines in his own regimen.
There are two types of COVID vaccines that have offered to the public: the Johnson and Johnson shot--a traditional vaccine containing a piece of modified virus, and those made by Pfizer and Moderna--"M-RNA" vaccines, which send a message to immune cells.
Especially for people who got the J & J vaccine, experts say they should consider switching when getting a first or second booster.
"For people who got the J&J vaccine originally, their protection was much greater if they get an MRNA vaccine as their second booster," Professor Kristen Choi of UCLA's Fielding School of Public Health and School of Nursing.
Professor Choi also says if you got Pfizer or Moderna for your original vaccinations, consider switching it up for your first or second booster.
"Any of the combinations are going to be safe. You can’t go wrong, in terms of safety," Choi told NBC4.
So far, the CDC has approved second boosters for those 50 years or older, or anyone over 12 years who is moderately or severely immunocompromised.
If you fall in one of those groups, public health experts say you might consider getting that second booster if you're planning to travel this summer, especially through airports and on airplanes, since vaccines seem to prevent infection in some people for about two months.
"So some people going on trips may want to get boosted, more for logistical reasons, so they don’t test positive, if they have to get a test coming back into the US," Dr. Adalja told the I-Team.
"I think it seems prudent if you’re going to get a booster dose sometime in the next 6 months, to time it before a trip because you will get that 2 month window of protection when you’re traveling, especially on airplanes, buses. It’s hard to know who you’re going to be mixing with and what you might be exposed to, " UCLA's Choi said. | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/mixing-covid-vaccines-could-give-you-more-protection/2878577/ | 2022-04-26T03:43:34Z | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/mixing-covid-vaccines-could-give-you-more-protection/2878577/ | true | 3 |

Voters in Flagstaff’s city elections took part in a kind of political speed dating Thursday evening.
But instead of singles moving from table to table hoping to meet that special someone, politicians did. And voters got up-close and personal with the candidates who want to be a part of the city’s future.
At the forum hosted by Friends of Flagstaff’s Future, four mayoral candidates and five of the six city council candidates moved from table to table at Flagstaff High School.
At the table sat voters waiting for their next 10 minute “date” with a person who wants their support.
Flagstaff’s John Viktora says what he’s looking for in a candidate is someone who’s authentic and knowledgeable about local issues.
Mostly, he was impressed.
“We have a couple of bozos here took,” Viktora says. “You do speed dating and you’re going to meet a couple of bozos too!”
Instead of asking their zodiac sign, voters wanted to know the candidates’ views on a variety of issues from using reclaimed water to attracting new businesses.
Jeff Oravits is running for City Council.
He told the voters at this table that the City assesses too many fees.
“As someone who rents commercial office space, I rent to businesses, and that’s often their complaints is the fees have gotten so high, they’re having trouble staying in business,” Oravits says.
At another table, Council candidate Jim McCarthy tried to woo voters with his ideas on zoning.
“I’m a strong proponent of mixed used zoning, which is what you see in Europe,” he says. “You walk down the streets, there are storefronts, but you look upstairs, there are people living there.”
As the night went on, some voters wanted answers to hard-and-fast questions.
Merle Henderson, a Flagstaff Tea Partier, says his ideal candidate would reign in spending.
“Budget. It’s always budget. It is out of control,” Henderson says.
Flagstaff’s Gary Smith echoed the concerns of many at the forum.
“I think the water issues are primary right now,” he says.
Council candidate John Malin says he’s not concerned about the safety of reclaimed water.
Malin is general manager of Continental Country Club, which uses reclaimed water on the golf course.
“It ends up in the aquifer and gets cleaner and cleaner,” he says.
Other candidates were not so sure. Council candidate Avtar Khalsa says he wants more study.
“We need to be very attuned to the emerging science that’s finding stuff in that water that probably isn’t good for us, and the emerging technologies that can clean it up,” Khalsa says.
But while many wanted hard answers, others, like Elisha Dorfsmith, were going with their gut.
“I love this format because you get an intimate conversation with the candidates and get to know them on a personal level,” Dorfsmith says.
Mayoral candidate Jerry Nabours says he is someone that voters can trust.
“What people are looking for is, is this person a leader -- especially in the position of mayor,” Nabours says. “Can this person bring the council together and lead them because they will have trust and confidence?”
Al White, who’s also running for mayor, says he believes he has the added ability to get the job done.
“When you’re running a meeting and calling on people and getting their opinions, how much do you listen, how much do you pay attention to what they have to say?” he asks. “Building consensus is the chairperson’s job.”
Moran Henn is the organization’s development director.
She says the speed-dating-style format is the best way to get to know a candidate’s position on the issues, as well as their disposition.
“Their first reaction is what I look for, their facial expression, the energy they transcend to the group says a lot,” she says.
The primary for Flagstaff mayoral candidates is March 13, and the general election is May 15.

DALLAS, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc. (NYSE: BHR) (the "Company" or "Braemar"), announced today its preliminary expectations for net income attributable to common stockholders, Adjusted EBITDAre, and Adjusted FFO for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
The Company reported today a preliminary estimated range of net income attributable to common stockholders of approximately $10.6 million to $12.0 million, a preliminary estimated range of Adjusted EBITDAre of $48.5 million to $49.9 million, and a preliminary estimated range of Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders, OP unitholders, Series B Cumulative Convertible preferred stockholders and convertible note holders on an "as converted" basis of $36.4 million to $37.8 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022. Also, through April 25, 2022, the Company has issued 3.57 million shares of its Series E and Series M non-traded perpetual preferred stock raising approximately $80.2 million of net proceeds. Final results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 will be released on May 4, 2022 as previously announced.
"We are absolutely thrilled with the performance of our portfolio in the first quarter. These unprecedented results are a testament to the ideal positioning and industry leading quality of our portfolio. Our luxury resorts are located in very desirable, high barrier to entry markets, which are benefitting from the recent surge in leisure demand and sky-rocketing average daily rates," stated Richard J. Stockton, Braemar's President and Chief Executive Officer. He continued, "Furthermore, we are now also seeing strong bookings within our urban hotel portfolio, as corporate transient and corporate group demand rebounds, which should further solidify our results for the balance of the year." He concluded, "This year, I entirely expect to significantly exceed both the RevPAR and Adjusted EBITDAre that we achieved in 2019."
We use certain non-GAAP measures, in addition to the required GAAP presentations, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of our operational results and make comparisons of operating results among peer real estate investment trusts more meaningful. Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, which should not be relied upon as a substitute for GAAP measures, are FFO, AFFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre. Please refer to our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed description of how these non-GAAP measures are calculated. The reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the closest GAAP measures are provided below and provide further details of our results for the period being reported.
The following tables are reconciliations of the Company's preliminary estimated GAAP net income (loss) to the Company's preliminary estimated EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, FFO and Adjusted FFO:

Braemar Hotels & Resorts is a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on investing in luxury hotels and resorts.
The preliminary estimated results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 included in this release, which are the responsibility of management, were prepared by the Company's management in connection with the preparation of the Company's financial statements and are based upon preliminary hotel operating results, preliminary corporate level expenses and a number of subjective judgements and assumptions. Additional items that may require adjustments to the Company's preliminary estimated financial information may be identified and could result in material changes to the Company's preliminary estimated results. The Company has provided ranges, rather than specific amounts, for the preliminary estimated results described above primarily because the Company's closing procedures for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 are not yet complete and, as a result, the Company's final results upon completion of the closing procedures may vary from the preliminary estimates set forth above. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP, has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the preliminary estimated financial information, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, such preliminary estimated financial information. Further, these preliminary estimated results are not a comprehensive statement or estimate of the Company's financial condition or operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022. These preliminary estimated results should not be viewed as a substitute for complete quarterly financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") or as a measure of the Company's performance. In addition, the preliminary estimated financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for any future period. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this preliminary estimated financial information. See the information below under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

After two years at the front of the line for COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, the U.S. could soon have to begin taking a number.
The White House is warning that other countries are already moving ahead of the U.S. in putting in their advance orders for the next generation of therapies. The problem is lack of funding. Many in Congress are willing to vote for the billions now needed. But, Senate Republicans are demanding that as part of the deal Democrats must agree to extend pandemic-related, Trump-era border restrictions.
Unless Congress can break that impasse, the White House says, more Americans will get COVID-19 and die.
Months ago, the White House began speaking up after noticing that the country had spent the money in the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that was dedicated directly to COVID-19 response, the Associated Press reported. The Biden administration requested an additional $22.5 billion for what it called “urgent” needs in both the U.S. and abroad. | https://www.wcpo.com/news/national/white-house-says-without-needed-funding-us-will-lose-covid-19-treatments | 2022-04-26T03:56:21Z | https://www.wcpo.com/news/national/white-house-says-without-needed-funding-us-will-lose-covid-19-treatments | false | 20 |

Market Nosedive Sends Cardano (ADA) Deeper Into Bear Territory
The crypto market has not been in the best of places recently and Cardano (ADA) has been feeling the heat especially hot lately. The digital asset which remains one of the popular and largest by market cap has had a hard run of it lately, pushing it further into the bear territory. As ADA continues on this trend of low momentum, hot on the heels of the market decline, indicators have proven to not be in the favor of the token’s value.
Market Declines By $80 Billion
During the weekend, the market had suffered consistent dips. Following the price of the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin, most altcoins had taken a nosedive during this time. One of those was Cardano which had already been trading below $1 going into the weekend. The dip had pushed it further into the bear territory alongside others. By the time the weekend had come to an end, the crypto market had lost north of $80 billion from its market cap at the time of this writing.

This decline had been one that has been in the making. With the low momentum that had rocked crypto last week, prospects for the weekend had been increasingly bearish. This had come to a head as bitcoin had declined below $40,000, now trading at the $38,000 territory at the time of this writing.
As different altcoins have taken a hit following this decline, ADA’s outlook at this point has turned for the worse. This is evidenced by the indicators given that the digital asset has declined below every important one, causing a bearish short and long term.
Cardano (ADA) Not Looking Good
Going into the new week, Cardano looks to have it worse than other digital assets in the market. It is currently trading at one-month lows after a decline to the $0.83 level. A strong contender in the DeFi space, this has not seemed to have translated to the price of the digital asset yet.
The cryptocurrency is currently trading below the 50-day moving average at the time of this writing. The average which currently sits at $0.966 is a strong one that helps determine the short-term outlook for a digital asset and for ADA, this indicator points to a very bearish short term for it.
ADA trading at $0.856 | Source: ADAUSD on TradingView.com
This means that the current decline could not be the end for Cardano. If it is unable to recover and climb back above the $0.86 support level, then the digital asset’s price could revisit $0.7 sooner than investors expect.

It is also a seller’s market meaning that all of the indicators point toward 100% sell pressure for the digital asset, especially for the long term. The next significant resistance point lies at $0.92 but with the price falling below major support levels, this area is out of reach for now.
ADA is trading at $0.839 at the time of this writing. Despite the decline, it remains the 9th largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $28.36 billion.

Cardano To Increase Block Size By 10%, Can ADA’s Price Benefit?
Via an official post, Cardano developer Input Output Global (IOG) confirmed the approval and implementation of a proposal to increase the network’s block size. Currently standing at 80 kilobytes (KB), the mainnet will see a 10% increase to 88 KB.
Related Reading | Cardano (ADA) Is One Of The Worst Performing Crypto In Terms Of Profit
Set to roll out today April 25 at 20:20 UTC, at the boundary of epoch 335, as confirmed by the company. IOG called this proposal a “significant network enhancement” set to increase Cardano’s throughput and the performance of its decentralized applications (dApp).
As the company reiterated, Cardano has been experiencing a series of network upgrades that will allow it to improve its scaling capabilities in 2022. As the block size increase, IOG added, they will keep a close eye on it for future changes:
Once deployed, we shall monitor network performance and behaviour closely over at least one epoch (5 days) to determine the next increment. Cardano has seen phenomenal growth in recent months, with performance improvements to match.
Furthermore, the company claims that Cardano has been experiencing a “huge recent rise in transaction volume”. In that sense, with the addition of more improvements, they expect this trend to continue.
IOG is focused on optimizing Cardano as it prepares for its next Hard Fork Combinator (HFC) event set for around June this year. IOG added:
Cardano is one of the most decentralized blockchains in the world, built for correctness and security. As the ecosystem grows, we’re focused on delivering the scaling phase of our roadmap; improving speed and network capacity while maintaining security and decentralization.
As NewsBTC reported, the network seems to be experiencing an increase in institutional demand, per data from IntoTheBlock.
On-chain transaction volume for ADA appears to be in an uptrend since the start of February. This data seems to match with IOG’s statements about Cardano’s growth.
@Cardano is experiencing increasing institutional demand
The volume of on-chain transactions >$100k has increased by 50x just in 2022
Yesterday, a total of 69.09b $ADA were moved in these large transactions, representing 99% of the total on-chain volumehttps://t.co/8ME8STvRSF pic.twitter.com/aqH7hYIPiV
— IntoTheBlock (@intotheblock) March 29, 2022
What’s Wrong With Cardano (ADA)?
Data from Token Terminal paints a different picture. As seen below, ADA’s trading volume saw a massive increase in late 2021 as the cryptocurrency began a persistent downside price action.
This suggests investors started taking profit on ADA at that time. Since that period, the cryptocurrency saw an uptick in trading volume during January which led to further losses for ADA.
Only the increase in trading volume for March and April has led to profits for this cryptocurrency. Remains to be seen if the network improvements, as IOG claims, will be effective at bringing more users into the Cardano ecosystem which could result in sustainable price recovery.

CEO at IOG Charles Hoskinson addressed ADA’s recent price action. In response to a holder’s concerns about the cryptocurrency’s recent downtrend, and what are the possible factor behind it, Hoskinson said:
Nothing. Markets move up and down. Cardano is stronger and more useful as an ecosystem than it’s ever been.
At the time of writing, ADA’s price trades at $0.8 with a 2% loss on the 4-hour chart.

Dogecoin Jumps Back Into Top 10 After Musk Buying Twitter News
With the crypto market on a bearish trend, Dogecoin lost its spot as one of the top coins slipping to 14th rank on CoinMarketCap. However, it quickly rose back into 10th place after the news break today that Elon Musk is buying Twitter. DOGE was out of the top 10 cryptos for a long but today’s rise has put the coin back into the top 10 cryptos by market cap.
DODE pumped on the news that Elon Musk was taking Twitter private. There has been a 20% increase in the price of DOGE today after the news. Twitter is set to accept Musk’s $43 billion offer.

Elon Musk Behind The Rise In Dogecoin Price
DOGE has been steadily rising since it hit a low at $0.1239 this Monday, climbing up to around 20% higher. At the time of writing, the price per coin is $0.158. The DOGE market cap has also seen an impressive rise to $20.96 billion, putting the crypto in the top 10.
As of right now, Dogecoin is worth only half of what it was worth one year ago.
The overall crypto market cap has also seen a fall of 2.79% early today, reaching $1.79 trillion. But as the DOGE started rising, other coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum also saw a significant increase. So now, the total crypto market cap stands at $1.82 trillion with a 1.78% rise.
What’s going on? DOGE’s price has been trending steadily down for the last three months. The coin was relatively stable during that time. However, it experienced some volatility and a jump in trade volume from Elon Musk making his intentions public on Twitter—which may have something to do with why investors are sellers at present rather than buyers.
The price and trading volume of the popular memecoin coin Dogecoin has increased since 14th April, following reports that Tesla boss Elon Musk is interested in buying Twitter. On Friday, 15th April, the trading volume of DOGE was up 145% in the last 24 hours, and the market cap was 5% higher than it was on the previous day.
One of the most influential and open backers of Dogecoin on social media is Elon Musk. His statements have often led to jumps in the price for this popular crypto token, which he also uses personally.
Experts Predict DOGE May Fall Amid Hawkish Stance By The US Fed
However, some people think that the price of DOGE will go down because the US Fed is taking a tough stance on inflation. According to experts, the DOGE price may fall to a new low as there has been much selling pressure on crypto assets.

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said:
As the global financial markets face heat from the hawkish stance taken by Fed to tackle high inflation, there has been tremendous selling pressure in crypto assets. If this trend continues, Doge prices may fall further to find a new lower support level.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A jury was selected Monday in the civil trial of a man who was convicted of second-degree murder in the 2010 death of University of Virginia lacrosse player Yeardley Love.
A wrongful death lawsuit brought by Love’s mother seeks to hold George Huguely V liable in Yeardley’s killing. Love and Huguely — who also played lacrosse at UVA — were in an on-again, off-again dating relationship. The lawsuit seeks $29.5 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages.
Eleven jurors were chosen to hear the case, including seven regular jurors and four alternates. The trial in Charlottesville Circuit Court is expected to last about eight days. Opening statements are expected Tuesday.
Love, of Cockeysville, Maryland, and Huguely, of Chevy Chase, Maryland, were both seniors who were weeks away from graduation. They were known for their play on UVA’s nationally ranked men’s and women’s lacrosse teams, but also for their volatile relationship.
Prosecutors said Huguely kicked a hole in Love’s bedroom door, then beat her after a day of golf and binge drinking, enraged that she had had a relationship with a lacrosse player from North Carolina.
A medical examiner concluded the 22-year-old Love died of blunt force trauma to her head, but defense and prosecution experts offered differing medical opinions on the lethal consequences of her injuries.
During the jury selection process Monday, many of the potential jurors told Judge Richard Moore they had read or heard media reports about the case after Yeardley was killed or during Huguely’s criminal trial in 2012. Moore dismissed three potential jurors who said they had formed an opinion about the case and would be unable to put that opinion aside to serve as jurors in the civil case.
The civil trial is expected to include many of the same witnesses, although many of them are expected to testify in videotaped depositions instead of in person.
Huguely’s attorney, Matthew Green, said the defense will acknowledge that Huguely’s assault and battery caused Love’s death and that her family is entitled to compensatory damages in an amount to be decided by the jury. But he said the defense does not believe punitive damages are appropriate.
Love’s mother and sister, and Huguely’s mother, were present in the courtroom on Monday.
Green said Huguely will be brought to court from prison on the day he is scheduled to testify, but not on the other days of the trial. | https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/trial-to-begin-in-lawsuit-over-death-of-uva-lacrosse-player/ | 2022-04-26T04:17:19Z | https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/trial-to-begin-in-lawsuit-over-death-of-uva-lacrosse-player/ | true | 66 |
Midcourter Toni Lind settling into debut season with Corowa-Rutherglen
Corowa-Rutherglen's latest midcourt recruit Toni Lind is settling into her debut season at the club, but it's not the first time she's had a Roo as a teammate.
Lind and midcourter Olivia Sinclair have previously played together in the Victorian Netball League with City West Falcons, where fellow Roos Sophie Hanrahan and Zoe McLeish are now also playing.
Coach Georgie Bruce praised the "quiet achiever" Lind for her efforts so far this season.
"She's been a really nice inclusion into the team," Bruce said.
"As a player, she's come from great coaching and has played at one of the highest levels.
ALSO IN SPORT:
"She's a smart player and she just glides through the court.
"She's sophisticated and clever."
Sinclair has been among the best for the Roos in recent weeks after a strong start to the season.
The Roos next task will be against Wodonga Raiders.

When Tom Radcliffe owned three Carmel-area pet stores, customers would often complain about how finicky their cats were. “They’d say, ‘My cat doesn’t like tuna, my cat doesn’t like chicken,’” said Radcliffe. “I thought, ‘Why don’t they make cat food out of mice?’ Cats eat mice. Ask Tom and Jerry.”
Now, after selling his stores and enlisting some expert help – including friends’ cats and animal nutritionists with Ph.D.s – Radcliffe is making cat food out of mice. In the process, he catapulted himself during a shaky pandemic economy to the forefront of what appears to be a burgeoning business opportunity. And his canned product, Mouser, has just become available around the Bay Area.
A month after its commercial launch, Mouser is for sale in pet and feed shops in California, Arizona and Nevada, and Radcliffe expects to expand to Oregon, Washington and Idaho as early as next month.
At Pets and More in Campbell, one of numerous Bay Area stores that have just started carrying Mouser, manager Erin Lee said customers have reacted to the product with surprise – and interest. “They pick up a can or two,” Lee said. “Right now it’s more of a novelty, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Their cats like it.”
Radcliffe, 55, started building his self-funded business just before the pandemic and has had to navigate regulations and nutritional standards, along with distribution and supply chain issues. “I feel like a mouse in a maze,” he said.
The four versions of Mouser are Field Hunter, with chicken leading the ingredients; Forest Hunter, with turkey leading; Pond Hunter, with duck leading; and Brush Hunter, with rabbit leading. While Radcliffe believes the mouse meat has very broad appeal among cats, consumers may have to serve different flavors of Mouser to their pets to identify those they like best, he said.
The amount of mouse in each can is a trade secret, Radcliffe said. But he added that mice are “ridiculously expensive,” with the meat costing about 10 times more than chicken, turkey, duck or rabbit. Because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration classifies mouse along with other meats as a product that does not require pre-approval to enter the market, Radcliffe’s regulatory journey involved meeting state standards overseen by the Association of American Feed Control Officials representing local, state and federal agencies.
He does not use lab-research mice, but buys from specialty producers breeding the rodents for purposes such as feeding pet snakes and injured owls at wildlife rehabilitation centers.
To develop the recipes, Radcliffe started mixing ingredients at home. “I made test batches and shared them with friends’ cats,” he said. “To no one’s surprise, I learned that cats really like the taste of mice.” Animal-nutrition consultants, and the staff at the Chicago cannery where Mouser is now made, helped him perfect the recipes, Radcliffe said.
At Aptos Feed & Pet Supply just south of Santa Cruz, Mouser is starting to become a hit among customers seeking canned food that picky cats like, said owner Damian Delezene. “The palatability factor is huge,” he said. Delezene rings up one or two Mouser buyers a day, and the number is growing, he said. “They’re saying the cats like it.”
In the store’s canned cat food aisle, Alan Stocklmeir was shopping for his girlfriend’s three cats, who “for some reason” had decided not to eat their regular food. Three flavors of Mouser were sandwiched between cans of Taste of the Wild’s trout-and-salmon and AvoDerm’s chicken-with-avocado-oil. Stocklmeir, 74, picked up a can of Mouser’s Pond Hunter. “I’m going to try one of these and see how it goes,” he said.
Retail prices for the 5.5-ounce cans of Mouser vary. Pets and More charges $2.39. At Aptos Feed & Supply, it’s $1.99, which is triple the cost of Friskies at a big box store but still puts the brand in the normal range for premium-priced canned cat foods, Delezene said.
“In the industry, we’ve talked about it for years: Why don’t they have gopher, rat, mouse, lizard tails — all the things that cats eat?” Delezene said.
Radcliffe noted that the pet food industry “isn’t accustomed to working with mice.” He had the type of mice he uses tested in a lab for pathogens, and he visited the canning facility to observe the manufacturing process, which includes heating canned pet foods under pressure to around 250 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure safety. “This has all been very vetted and researched,” Radcliffe said.
After identifying the cannery that could mix and can the cat food, Radcliffe cleared a major hurdle when he secured a distributor willing to take a chance on Mouser. But pandemic-related problems continue to plague his cat food company, which he named Muridae for the family of small mammals that includes mice. “For a while there was a problem getting cans,” he said. Now the canning process has hit a slowdown because demand for pet food skyrocketed after millions of locked-down people brought in animal company to temper their isolation.
Radcliffe does not appear to face current competition in the mouse-meat cat food business, but that may change soon with the potential market debut of Frankenmouse options. A company co-founded by a Stanford University microbiologist – called Because Animals – plans to release lab-grown meat foods for pets this year. The startup’s Harmless Hunt Mouse Cookies for Cats, made with “cultured mouse,” are already available for preorder.
Meanwhile, Radcliffe will continue to wrangle with his supply-chain issues, and his cat Gus will continue to enjoy the fruits of his enterprise. “He has no choice but to love it,” Radcliffe said.
Radcliffe remains confident Mouser will “rocket to the stratosphere” once the pandemic loosens its grip. “It’s an interesting niche that’s raring to go,” he said. “It’s like there’s somebody holding the tiger’s tail — or the mouse’s tail.” | https://www.dailybulletin.com/2022/04/25/this-california-company-makes-cat-food-with-mouse-meat/ | 2022-04-26T04:25:48Z | https://www.dailybulletin.com/2022/04/25/this-california-company-makes-cat-food-with-mouse-meat/ | false | 18 |
Mayor Eric Adams on Monday said the city would cut the size of its massive vehicle fleet by at least 4 percent in the coming fiscal year in a push by City Hall to promote more sustainable travel options.
Adams said the city would cull 855 vehicles from its fleet of 31,079 — saving the city $13.7 million and resulting in 5.13 million fewer miles of driving by municipal workers.
“We want to encourage New Yorkers to get out of their cars and use alternative forms of transportation — and the city must lead by example,” Adams said.
Hizzoner said the move would “achieve our sustainability goals, while simultaneously exercising greater fiscal responsibility.”
He previously teased the fleet reductions in exclusive comments to The Post in January.
“It is unimaginable that we have so many city vehicles moving around Manhattan,” Adams said at the time.
The move to cut back on cars contrasts with his predecessor Bill de Blasio, who added thousands of vehicles to the fleet during his time in office.
New York City owned 29,718 vehicles in Fiscal Year 2021, according to official city figures — a 15 percent increase from the year before de Blasio took office. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/us/mayor-adams-plans-to-get-rid-of-hundreds-of-nyc-owned-cars-and-trucks/160636/ | 2022-04-26T04:26:48Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/us/mayor-adams-plans-to-get-rid-of-hundreds-of-nyc-owned-cars-and-trucks/160636/ | false | 2 |
Nkarta (NKTX) announced promising results from two studies in blood cancer patients on Monday, leading the tiny biotech stock to score a triple-digit gain.
X
The company tested its “natural killer” cell therapies in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or NHL. After three doses of Nkarta’s treatments, all signs of cancer disappeared in 60% of AML patients and 50% of NHL patients, the company said.
“Investor sentiment was pretty low going into this readout,” Mizuho Securities analyst Salim Syed said in a note. “And, of course, we still need durability data and more, but showing these responses today is a major plus and Street trading valuations should now move substantially higher for both programs.”
On today’s stock market, the biotech stock soared 140.9% to 18.72. After the close, Nkarta announced a public offering for $150 million shares of its common stock.
Biotech Stock: Unlocking A New Cancer Paradigm?
Natural killer cells belong to the immune system and can destroy cancer cells or cells infected with a virus. Researchers extracted those cells from healthy donors and then engineered them to seek specific targets associated with AML and NHL.
Patients received three doses of the treatments. Three out of five acute myeloid leukemia patients had a complete response — meaning they showed no signs of cancer. Half of those with NHL met the same bar.
The AML patients had a full hematologic recovery, effectively putting them in remission. To put this in perspective, only 19% of patients treated with similar drugs met the same bar, Syed said. He also notes just five out of 12 patients had any response to a rival from Fate Therapeutics (FATE). None entered remission.
Syed kept his buy rating and 81 price target on the biotech stock.

Nium Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Alternative Payments Network Platform, Socash
Acquisition combines Socash's technology for local payment acceptance with Nium's global platform for money movement network for a modern approach to digital commerce in emerging markets
SINGAPORE, April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nium, the global platform for modern money movement, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire Socash, a Singapore-based alternative payments network platform. Socash brings together financial institutions and digital commerce merchants into a thriving network that allows consumers to deposit, withdraw, and make payments with cash from more than 30,000 local shops, cafes, and grocery stores.
The acquisition provides Nium with the team and technology to enable multiple forms of local payment acceptance for digital commerce, especially in emerging markets. Cash is still a preferred method of payment across the Asia Pacific and Latin American markets, and the acquisition of Socash allows Nium to accept cash for transactions online – bridging the physical and digital worlds. Together, Nium and Socash become the full-stack, platform-of-choice for global merchants with capabilities for local acceptance, multicurrency accounts, foreign exchange, and global payouts.
The acquisition is expected to close in Q3 2022, subject to customary regulatory closing conditions.
"The Socash team has built an impressive platform that bridges payments in the digital space with payouts in the physical world," said Pratik Gandhi, Co-founder and COO of Nium. "When compared to current in-app payment costs, we estimate Socash saves up to 30 percent in commissions paid. With this acquisition, Nium can offer a lower-cost payment processing alternative for digital merchants, spanning local payment acceptance through to global payouts."
Alternative payment methods (APMs), including e-wallets, real-time bank transfers, and electronic cash have seen a surge in growth globally as an easier way to transact online. According to the World Bank, 45 percent of global consumers already use a mobile wallet, versus 18 percent of consumers who rely on credit cards for payments – online and offline. Cash acceptance for online transactions, from bill payment to in-app purchases, is still a popular use case, especially for 1.7 billion people who the World Bank estimates remain unbanked. This acquisition makes for a more inclusive financial system, where global consumers are given the power to pay as they choose.
About Nium
Nium is the global platform for modern money movement. It provides banks, payment providers, and businesses of any size with access to global payment and card issuance solutions. Its modular platform powers frictionless commerce, helping businesses pay and get paid across the globe. Once connected to the Nium platform, businesses are able to pay out in more than 100 currencies to over 190 countries – 85 of which in real time. Funds can be received in 27 markets, including Southeast Asia, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, India, and the US. Nium's growing card issuance business is already available in 34 countries, including Europe (SEPA), the UK, Australia and Singapore. Nium's license portfolio covers 11 of the world's jurisdictions, enabling seamless global payments and rapid integration, regardless of geography.
Nium was named among "Financial Times APAC High-Growth Companies" and "Best B2B Payment Platform at Future Digital Awards" in 2021.

Jeff Bezos delivered one of the worst takes against Musk’s acquisition of Twitter; so much so that he eventually backpedaled his pointed commentary.
The Amazon founder alleged that the Chinese government had gained a stronghold of America’s public forum, aka Twitter, on behalf of Elon Musk’s purchase of the site on Monday.
Hours after the news, Bezos quoted a tweet that interpreted China’s stake in Tesla’s (owned by Musk) production.
In his tweet, Bezos asked, “Did the Chinese government just gain a bit of leverage over the town square?”
After some Same-Day backlash for the logical reach, Bezos followed up his sleight aimed at the Tesla CEO by shooting down any assumed claims directed at Musk.
“My own answer to this question is probably not. The more likely outcome in this regard is complexity in China for Tesla, rather than censorship at Twitter,” Bezos tweeted.
Amazon’s own operations have largely benefited from Chinese vendors.
Data on Amazon’s vendors report that roughly “200,000 Chinese sellers currently sell their products through Amazon. Among the top 5,000 products sold on Amazon, 2.375 originate from China.”
Bezos mischaracterized a largely celebrated move by Musk, joining the media’s hypocrisy in covering the timeline of Musk’s successful bid.
Both sides met when Business Insider tweeted out an article criticizing Musk’s intention to purchase Twitter.
What Business Insider missed was a published piece from Aug. 5, 2013 that praised Jeff Bezos for his acquisition of The Washington Post — calling it “a fascinating cultural transition in America.”
Business Insider’s caption on Musk called him a “billionaire troll.”
The Washington Post’s editorial has also expressed vehement opposition to Musk’s bid for Twitter.

RIO DE JANEIRO, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Elea Digital announces two key additions to its board of directors: Tesh Durvasula, former CyrusOne CEO, and Guy Willner, former IXEurope founder and CEO, have agreed to join the company.
During eight years tenure at CyrusOne, culminated in his ascendance to CEO, Tesh Durvasula has seen the company's revenue grow fivefold, becoming the largest publicly traded REIT in the US. CyrusOne was sold last month to funds managed by KKR and GIP, the largest data center deal in history.
In 1998 Guy Willner co-founded IXEurope, a company that, when sold to Equinix in 2007, had grown more than tenfold in revenues and had become the largest European data center platform. Since then, Guy has ventured into several developing markets, including Africa and Eastern Europe. He was recently named as one of the "Power 100" of the global digital infrastructure sector.
Tesh Durvasula, US citizen, and Guy Willner, UK citizen, will join Elea Digital's board with existing members Alessandro Lombardi, Executive Chairman, Julia Dias Leite and Jeff Ferry.
The agreement of the two to join the board is another important milestone of Elea Digital's data center ecosystem consolidation. Other than reaffirming its core edge strategy of hyperconnected sites located in different metro areas, Tesh (25 years in the data center market) and Guy (also 25 years of experience) will bring substantial sector focused knowledge and add reliability to the project.
Elea Digital's aim to accelerate the standardization of its multi-location data center platform will benefit from the experience of highly skilled mentors and executives that will help mirroring best in class global growth strategies in Brazil, the most prominent Latam data center ecosystem that needs to reduce the gap with US and EU markets.

PHOENIX — Walker Buehler tossed a three-hitter for his first career shutout, Will Smith launched a solo homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-0 on Monday night.
The right-hander threw 108 pitches, getting Christian Walker on a fly ball to center field for the final out as Los Angeles won for the 11th time in 13 games.
The Dodgers wasted little time taking a 2-0 advantage, which was plenty for Buehler. Leadoff hitter Mookie Betts walked to start the first, Freddie Freeman doubled and Trea Turner brought them both home with another double.
Max Muncy’s two-out double in the fifth scored Betts, pushing it to 3-0. Smith’s 425-foot shot into the left-center seats in the eighth made it 4-0. Smith and Freeman both finished with two hits.
Buehler’s dominance against Arizona came after a relatively slow start to the season by his lofty standards. The two-time All-Star had a 4.02 ERA through three starts before Monday.
A lot of opposing pitchers have found their groove against the D-backs’ lineup, which was 29th out of 30 teams with a .189 batting average coming into Monday’s games. Daulton Varsho, David Peralta and Walker had the team’s three hits and all were singles.
Arizona starter Merrill Kelly (1-1) took the loss despite pitching fairly well, giving up three runs over six innings. He permitted seven hits and two walks while striking out four.
ROSTER MOVES
Dodgers: RHP Andre Jackson was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City. INF/OF Zach McKinstry was sent to Triple-A.
Diamondbacks: OF Jordan Luplow (strained right oblique) joined the team from the 10-day injured list and LHP Tyler Gilbert was promoted from Triple-A Reno. LHP Oliver Perez was designated for assignment and OF Jake McCarty was sent to Triple-A. Luplow made his season debut in the eighth
UP NEXT
The Diamondbacks send RHP Zach Davies (1-1, 5.02 ERA) to the mound to face Dodgers RHP Tony Gonsolin (1-0, 0.69) on Tuesday.

DALLAS (AP) — Luka Doncic had 33 points and 13 rebounds in his first home playoff game coming off a calf injury and the Dallas Mavericks routed the Utah Jazz 102-77 on Monday night for a 3-2 lead in their first-round playoff series.
Doncic made his series debut in Game 4 at Utah, when the Jazz scored the last five points in the final 31 seconds for a one-point win that evened the series.
After the first four games were decided by eight points or less, Game 5 was never really close, thanks to Utah's nearly six-minute scoreless drought in the second quarter that fueled a 22-4 Dallas run on the way to a 52-36 halftime lead.
Game 6 is Thursday night in Salt Lake City, with the Jazz regaining their formidable home-court edge, but facing the long odds of just 18% of teams winning a series after dropping the fifth game when the teams split the first four.
The Mavericks haven't advanced in the postseason since winning the 2011 championship. Utah is in the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year, but hasn't gone past the second round.
Jordan Clarkson scored 20 points and Rudy Gobert added 17 points and 11 rebounds in the lowest-scoring game for the Jazz since they lost by 50 at Dallas (118-68) on Nov. 14, 2018. They were 3 of 30 from 3-point range (10%) and shot 38% overall.
Donovan Mitchell, who averaged 30 points in the first four games, scored just nine and missed all seven of his 3-pointers before limping to the locker room holding the area around his left knee in the fourth quarter.
The frustration boiled over for Utah when Hassan Whiteside was ejected following a hard foul on Doncic in the fourth quarter.
Whiteside was assessed two technical fouls after shoving Dorian Finney-Smith and going nose-to-nose with Reggie Bullock as coaches from both sides frantically tried to keep players separated. Finney-Smith and Bullock also got technicals, and Bullock was ejected because it was his second of the game.
Jalen Brunson, who carried most of the offensive load for Dallas when Doncic was sidelined, scored 24 points. Finney-Smith added 13, and Dwight Powell got the crowd going early with all eight of his points on 4-of-4 shooting in the first.
Doncic, his left calf covered in a black wrap under white leggings, kept a raucous crowd rolling with several nifty moves and high-arcing 3-pointers.
The first highlight came late in the first half when Doncic drove all the way to the rim with Gobert guarding him, stopped and faked the 7-foot-1 center several times before turning his back to the basket and spinning a reverse layup off the glass and in as Gobert fouled him.
The exclamation point was in the third quarter, when Doncic hit consecutive 3s for a 74-46 lead, doing a shimmy in front of the fans to his left after the second one went in. The 23-year-old sensation swished another 3 for a 79-46 lead right after blocking Jordan Clarkson's shot from deep.
Doncic left to a standing ovation after committing a foul on purpose to stop the game with a 29-point Dallas lead in the fourth quarter.
TIP-INS
Jazz: Gobert, who was fined $25,000 for using profanity in a live TV interview after Utah’s Game 4, was serenaded by fans several times with a chant involving a less offensive profane word. One of the chants came during free throws, when Gobert made one of two. ... After dominating the boards in the first two games, Utah has slowly surrendered its edge as the series has progressed. The Mavs outrebounded them 49-40.
Mavericks: G Frank Ntilikina was available for the first time in the series after being out with a non-COVID-19 illness. ... NFL quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City and Arizona’s Kyler Murray were seven seats apart on the first row opposite the Utah bench. Troy Aikman, a three-time Super Bowl winner for Dallas in the 1990s, attended along with former Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade, who has an ownership stake in the Jazz.

The government wants to develop the 'gold standard' for robust company climate strategies aligned with net zero by 2050
The government has formally launched a new UK Transition Plan Taskforce today, geared at developing a "gold standard" for robust company decarbonisation and climate adaptation plans aligned with delivering a net zero emissions economy by 2050.
Under a new regime being developed by the Taskforce, UK financial institutions and listed firms will need to develop and publish credible transition plans that detail how they will adapt and decarbonise on the pathway to net zero by 2050, according to the government
The Taskforce has been established to develop "rigorous and robust" measures to tackle greenwashing in company climate risk reporting and support UK firms in establishing investable and accountable transition plans, the Treasury said.
It forms part of the government's plan to expand mandatory climate risk reporting and action right across the economy by 2025, starting earlier this month with stricter requirements for the UK's largest companies and financial institutions.
The government views enhanced data disclosure on corporate climate risks as key to supporting a range of other activities that are likely to prove crucial to meeting net zero goals, including the development of sustainability-linked financial instruments, enhanced investor stewardship, more stringent financial regulations, and more effective corporate decarbonisation strategies, it said.
First touted by the Chancellor Rishi Sunak during his speech at the COP26 Climate Summit in Glasgow last year, the new rules build on the guidelines of the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and are designed to help bolster the government's push to establish the UK and the City of London as the world's first net zero-aligned financial centre.
John Glen, Economic Secretary to the Treasury, is to act as co-chair of the new Transition Plan Taskforce, which is backed by a steering group of private and public sector leaders. "It brings together an impressive range of forward-thinking stakeholders to ensure firms can put together plans to aid our transition to a low-carbon economy," he said of the Taskforce.
Aviva's CEO Amanda Blanc has also been appointed co-chair of the Taskforce. "Everyone in the UK will be touched by the climate crisis, so all of us depend on shifting the economy to net zero as soon as possible," she said. "Preventing the worst impacts of climate change will take all businesses developing ambitious, consistent transition plans to get us to a low carbon future."
The secretariat for the UK Transition Plan Taskforce is to be provided by non-profits including the UK Centre for Greening Finance and Investment and climate change think tank E3G.
Mary Schapiro, vice chair for the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) and head of the secretariat at the TCFD, also welcomed the launch of the new Transition Plan Taskforce today. "By requiring the publication of transition plans, the UK has set forth an ambitious agenda to accelerate the transition to a net zero economy," she said. "The UK Transition Plan Taskforce will help bring transparency to net zero targets, ensuring accountability and that meaningful progress is achieved. I look forward to participating in the Taskforce by building upon the foundation of the TCFD framework and ensuring alignment with the ongoing efforts of GFANZ."
The move comes just days after the UN-backed Race to Zero campaign launched the final stage of its consultation process on a proposed strengthening of the criteria that govern whether organisations can join the international initiative.
The group - which has brought together thousands of businesses that have publicly committed to reach net zero emissions - said the first section of the Criteria Consultation Process is now complete, after over 150 independent experts came together over the course of eight weeks between February and April to discuss eight key topics to strengthen and consolidate the Race to Zero Criteria.
As part of the next stage of the consultation, the UN's High-Level Climate Champions, the UNFCCC, and the Expert Peer Review Group that worked on the new criteria are now welcoming written feedback from individuals who were not able to contribute to the working group. | https://www.businessgreen.com/news/4048635/uk-transition-plan-taskforce-aims-help-firms-develop-rigorous-climate-strategies | 2022-04-26T05:17:39Z | https://www.businessgreen.com/news/4048635/uk-transition-plan-taskforce-aims-help-firms-develop-rigorous-climate-strategies | true | 1 |
In 30 years of selling real estate, Peter McPhail has never seen anything like what’s going on with farm sales in Maine right now.
McPhail is co-owner of Lifestyle Properties of Maine, a real estate company based in the state and a history of large land parcel and farm listings. The company currently has 142 farm properties listed for sale on its website.
Maine listings on national websites are pretty sparse. Land and Farm has only three while LandWatch has five.
And the few farms that are on the market are selling fast, sometimes before they are even officially listed.
“Supply and demand is way out of balance,” McPhail said. “That’s why sales are actually down — not because of the demand, but because of lack of inventory.”
Maine’s housing market has been red hot in the state for the last two years, with nearly 1,200 homes sold in January 2022 alone, the second-best January on record. While no hard data is kept on the numbers or prices of farms selling in Maine, realtors who specialize in farmland say the demand similarly has never been stronger, causing the price of farmland to surge for those who manage to find a farmer willing to sell.
“There is just a really low inventory for those types of properties on the market,” according to Adam Bishop, farmland protection program director with Maine Farmland Trust. “Many of those properties are not even making it to the market — it’s not that they are not transferring ownership, it’s just happening really fast and there is not a lot for buyers to choose from.”
To be classified as a farm in Maine, a property must be five acres or more in size and produce a marketable crop, according to the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. In 2017 there were 7,600 farms in Maine averaging 172 acres each. Just more than 1.3 million acres were farmland, according to the United States Department of Agriculture five-year census.
The average price of an acre of farmland in Maine in 2017 was $2,200, according to the same census.
Current listings for Maine farms at least five acres in size all exceed that price. A 62-acre farm in Knox County is going for $5,600 an acre. A 267-acre Cumberland County farm is going for $10,861 an acre. In Oxford County, a 29-acre farm is listed at $21,500 an acre.
“I have seen farms and the price of land in general going up,” McPhail said. “Historically Maine has been the cheapest place in the country per acre, but we have seen land prices almost double in the last two years.”
The demand is being driven at least in part by buyers who are coming from farther away than before, according to McPhail.
“In a typical past Maine real estate market we would see a lot of out of state buyers, but mostly from Massachsuettes, Connecticut or New York,” he said. “I have never seen the influx like we are seeing now from the west coast [states] like California, Oregon, Colorado, Washington and Nevada.”
And they are coming ready to buy, cash in hand.
“Even though we have seen a 20 percent appreciation of farmland in Maine over the past couple of years, someone in California can sell their house out there and pay cash for land here,” McPhail said.
Maine has become attractive to these buyers for several reasons, McPhail said.
Large west coast cities like San Francisco, Portland and Seattle have seen increases in violent crimes over the last several years.
Also on the rise out west are wildfires, something farmers and homesteaders in western states are dealing with more and more each year due to drought conditions and climate change.
“There are still unknowns in Maine for farming’s future in the face of climate change,” Bishop said. “But we are still attractive because we are not far from the large markets in Boston and other urban centers, we still have plenty of water, and we have a supportive agricultural community.”
The pandemic has also driven an urban out-migration, McPhail said, with more people able to work remotely from home.
Some of those looking for farmland in Maine have turned to social media, pleading their cases and posting real estate wish lists in the hopes someone will have a farm for sale.
Maine Farmland Trust maintains a page on their site called Maine FarmLink that connects sellers and buyers. There are currently 22 properties listed there.
Not a real estate service, Maine FarmLink works with both buyers and sellers in a sort of farm matchmaking arrangement. These matches end up as final sales, leases or other arrangements such as work-to-own agreements.
There are currently 55 “farm seekers” from all over the country listed with Maine FarmLink, complete with profiles including photos, desired acreage and farming background.
The site currently has 14 farms listed for sale.
Bishop said it’s crucial for Maine’s future that farmland remains in production.
“One of our primary aims is working with people who want to not only acquire land, but also protect it,” Bishop said. “We know that an important piece of that is the viability of the farm.”
Groups like Maine Farmland Trust or The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association work with newcomers to Maine Farming to help them get going.
“If a farm is making money and paying the bills through agriculture, we know [farmers] won’t be inclined to sell that farm if a developer comes knocking on the door,” Bishop said. “Then farms won’t be chopped up and resold for development.”
McPhail sees the demand for farmland in Maine remaining high throughout the rest of 2022.
“Even with inflation as bad as it is, it does not hurt the people from the west coast as much as the blue collar workers here,” he said.
“I feel bad for the first-time buyers here that are getting priced out of the market — I have never seen anything like it.” | https://bangordailynews.com/2022/04/26/real-estate/hard-to-buy-maine-farm-real-estate/ | 2022-04-26T05:18:43Z | https://bangordailynews.com/2022/04/26/real-estate/hard-to-buy-maine-farm-real-estate/ | false | 1 |
BRENHAM, Texas — Back in August of 2021, teachers, parents and community members proposed a bond to make some much-needed changes to the Brenham Independent School district.
This bond committee was formed back in August, to replace the current junior high building with a new facility. A task long overdue, teachers say, despite the many repairs done to the building over the years.
AVID teacher, Jenny Schaer, who also sits on the bond committee, explained the laundry list of issues with the building and how it impacts teachers' ability to teach. Cracks in the walls, creaks on the floor and water leaking throughout the building are just half of the issues wrong with the 60-year-old building that was built back in 1964 as a bomb shelter.
"It's built as a bomb shelter so we have no windows, it's difficult to move electrical and Wi-Fi throughout the building because of how it's constructed," Schaer said. "We have had a lot of upkeep and maintenance. We have a great maintenance department and they try to do everything that they can but at some point, the structural issues they can no longer maintain."
Some days teachers can't do lesson plans because of the electrical wiring issues. Additionally, part of the current building was built below ground level, which is the reason why water constantly seeps throughout the building she stated.
Moreover, the building setup is not in ADA compliance for those who are disabled, forcing students to move through classes in any weather condition. This means traveling to the different portables and classrooms in the pouring rain or freezing cold.
The issuance of the entire bond will cost $153 million by Brenham ISD. Superintendent Dr. Tylor Chaplin explained how they've exhausted all their efforts to upkeep the building, but it's just not enough.
"It has been adapted as much as a building probably can with all the different changes that have taken place since the 1960s."
While they both explained how it will be bittersweet seeing it go, it will be the best environment for students and staff.
"We have some fantastic kids. But I'm still held back to not let them not have as many opportunities as other districts are giving their students is just sad and it's stressful for a teacher."
Early voting has begun and will extend until April 25, then from May 2 through May 3. Voting day for the bond will be on May 7th at the Washington County Annex Courthouse.

TUKWILA — One of the biggest matches in Seattle Sounders history is just a few days away. But before the team could completely turn its focus to the away leg of their Concacaf Champions League final against Pumas UNAM, they had to first finish dissecting Saturday’s implosion.
The Sounders are coming off a loss to the San Jose Earthquakes in a game they led 2-0 and 3-1, and seemed to have well under control about two-thirds of the way through. It was the first time in the team’s MLS history that they’d lost a game they led by two goals.
Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer said the team spent part of its Monday video session going over the loss with the hope that it serves as a reminder not to take any situation for granted.
“Anything in life where you can have a conversation about things that happened are good conversations,” Schmetzer said. “I credit the senior guys on the team, they all get it. They understand what happened. It didn’t just come from me, which is always best for me.
“It’s a resilient group, it’s a smart group. That’s how MLS is. We addressed it. At 2-0 and 3-1, that conversation was good to have. It was relevant not just for this series but for the future as well. How do we solve it the next time?”
Midfielder Albert Rusnák said the answer is relatively simple: just don’t let up. It’s a message he thinks can potentially be useful in CCL.
“We want to be on the front foot even though we’re on the road,” he said. “We want to press at the right time and stick with it.
“We became too complacent once we took the lead and it cost us the game. It’s a dangerous thing to take your foot off the gas when you have the lead and we learned a valuable lesson last game.”
Preparing for Pumas
In case there was any doubt as to how seriously the Sounders are approaching the CCL finals, Schmetzer said the team’s video analyst, Jorge García Valera, looked at the last 12-15 games Pumas had played in order to find useful clips to share with coaches and players. Valera apparently paid particularly close attention to Pumas’ CCL series. Pumas only opened one of their previous two series at home (a 2-1 win over Cruz Azul), but have won all three of their home legs by a collective score of 9-2.
“We studied a lot of Pumas,” Schmetzer said. “In the two-legged series, you can pick up little things. It’s been pretty comprehensive of what we’ve scouted, but we won’t know until we get out there.”
Balanced approach
The Sounders are well aware how important first legs of a series can be. They rode big wins in the openers against Club León and New York City FC to victory in the previous two rounds. While the Sounders continue to take the mental approach that they’re traveling with the intention to win the game, they also are keenly aware that the series can’t be won or lost simply on the back of this result and are trying to take a measured approach to this potentially history-making series.
“You don’t want to be too overwhelmed by the game itself,” Rusnák said. “Everyone is aware and as the game gets closer, I think that’s when everyone will have butterflies. It’s excitement.
“It’s not like we have blood in our eyes and are ready to kill. That’s not the mentality. In games like this, you need to keep your cool as well. The mood is good and it’s only going to get better as the game gets closer.”
Pumas’ form
Neither team comes into this final in particularly good form. Pumas, who are currently sitting in the final Liga MX playoff spot, are coming off two consecutive two-goal losses and could be jumped by one of four teams in the Clausura’s final weekend. Pumas close out at home against first-place Pachuca in between the two CCL legs.
Reminder: no away-goals
Unlike the previous rounds of the CCL, there is no away-goals tiebreaker in the final. Also unlike the previous rounds, the final will go to overtime if the aggregate score is tied at the end of 180 minutes.
U.S. Open Cup quickly sells out
The Sounders’ imminent return to Starfire Stadium for the U.S. Open Cup was apparently pretty popular as seats sold out within a few hours of them being released to the general public. There are still standing-room-only tickets available for the May 11 game against the Earthquakes. | https://www.sounderatheart.com/2022/4/25/23041938/sounders-training-notebook-lingering-on-san-jose | 2022-04-26T05:21:43Z | https://www.sounderatheart.com/2022/4/25/23041938/sounders-training-notebook-lingering-on-san-jose | true | 1 |
BBC Proms to include Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra featuring refugee musicians
The proms will feature a large-scale repertoire, not heard at the festival since 2019
By Ellie Iorizzo, PA Senior Entertainment Reporter
The BBC Proms will feature the newly-formed Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra as part of the eight-week season of classical music concerts.
The orchestra, led by Canadian-Ukrainian conductor Keri-Lynn Wilson, includes musicians who are now refugees and Ukrainian members of European orchestras.
The Ukraine Ministry of Culture is granting a special exemption from fighting to male members of orchestras who are of military-age.
Following an inaugural performance in Warsaw, Poland, the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra’s first stop will be in London for the Proms – which will be broadcast on the BBC.
This year Proms returns to its full eight-week season on July 15, with 84 concerts starring more than 3,000 musicians, the BBC announced.
It will see the return of international orchestras including Berliner Philharmoniker led by Kirill Petrenko, the Philadelphia Orchestra led by Yannick Nezet-Seguin, and the Australian World Orchestra led by Zubin Mehta.
It will also feature a large-scale repertoire, not heard at the festival since 2019, from Verdi’s Requiem to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony performed by the Chineke! Orchestra and Voices under Kevin John Edusei.
Mastermind host and BBC News correspondent Clive Myrie will present the First Night Of The Proms on BBC Two, while Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo and Scottish DJ Edith Bowman also feature in the presenter line-up.
TV naturalist Chris Packham will present the debut of Earth Prom, exploring the work of the BBC’s natural history unit which broadcast Sir David Attenborough’s earliest adventures.
There will also be an immersive experience of music, dance, theatre, and audio soundscapes called The Prom At Printworks, hosted at the industrial events space in south London, featuring works by Philip Glass and Handel.
For the first time there will be a Gaming Prom, presented by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Robert Ames, which will explore the sounds of video games.
To mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the BBC Concert Orchestra will present a Prom celebrating the relationship between music and monarchy, from Handel’s Water Music to a new commission from British composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad.
This year’s festival, which marks the centenary of the BBC, will feature more than 60 artists making their debut to commemorate 100 years of British broadcasting as well as celebrating a new generation of music.
The Last Night Of The Proms will be led by Dalia Stasevska, featuring star soloists Sheku Kanneh-Mason, who won BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2016, and a world premiere by James B Wilson.
David Pickard, director of BBC Proms, said: “It is a momentous year for the world’s largest classical music festival.
“I’m delighted that large-scale orchestral and choral repertoire will once again be heard in the Royal Albert Hall, and that we can celebrate the return of international orchestras."
He added: “In the BBC’s centenary year, we can be proud that the Proms has been a part of the organisation for 95 of those 100 years, playing a key role in the corporation’s mission to inform, educate and entertain.
“After two adapted seasons, we look forward to welcoming audiences back this summer for eight glorious weeks of music making.”
Every concert will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 and available on BBC Sounds, and 22 Proms are broadcast on BBC television and BBC iPlayer, including the First Night and Last Night Of The Proms.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is seeking the Supreme Court's go-ahead to end a controversial Trump-era immigration program that forces some people seeking asylum in the U.S. to wait in Mexico for their hearings.
The justices are hearing arguments Tuesday in the administration's appeal of lower-court rulings that required immigration officials to reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” policy that the administration “has twice determined is not in the interests of the United States,” according to court filings.
Texas and Missouri, which sued to keep the program in place, said it has helped reduce the flow of people into the U.S. at the southern border. “Many raise meritless immigration claims, including asylum claims, in the hope that they will be released into the United States,” the states told the Supreme Court in a filing.
About 70,000 people were enrolled in the program, formally known as Migrant Protection Protocols, after President Donald Trump launched it in 2019 and made it a centerpiece of efforts to deter asylum-seekers.
President Joe Biden suspended it on his first day in office and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas ended it in June 2021. In October, DHS produced additional justifications for the policy’s demise, to no avail in the courts.
The program resumed in December, but barely 3,000 migrants had enrolled by the end of March, during a period when authorities stopped migrants about 700,000 times at the border.
The heart of the legal fight is whether the program is discretionary and can be ended, as the administration argues, or is essentially the only way to comply with what the states say is a congressional command not to release the immigrants at issue in the case into the United States.
Without adequate detention facilities in the U.S., Texas and Missouri argue that the administration’s only option is to make the immigrants wait in Mexico until their asylum hearings.
The two sides separately disagree about whether the way the administration went about ending the policy complies with a federal law that compels agencies to follow rules and spell out reasons for their actions.
Those being forced to wait in Mexico widely say they are terrified in dangerous Mexican border cities and find it very hard to find lawyers to handle their asylum hearings.
Democratic-led states and progressive groups are on the administration's side. Republican-led states and conservative groups have sided with Texas and Missouri. Those include the America First Legal Foundation, led by former Trump aides Stephen Miller and Mark Meadows.
As the court is weighing the asylum policy, the administration is expected to end another key Trump-era border policy that was put in place because of the coronavirus pandemic. It allows authorities to expel migrants without a chance to seek asylum. The decision to end Title 42 authority, named for a 1944 public health law, on May 23 is being legally challenged by 22 states and faces growing division within Biden’s Democratic Party. | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Justices-hear-fight-over-aslyum-seekers-waiting-17126500.php | 2022-04-26T05:27:50Z | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Justices-hear-fight-over-aslyum-seekers-waiting-17126500.php | true | 35 |
Raptors spoil Philly’s playoff party again with dominant Game 5 win
Things have officially gotten interesting between the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers.
After falling into a 3-0 hole that no team in NBA history has ever recovered from, the Raptors have now trimmed the deficit in their first-round series to 3-2 after a 103-88 win in Game 5 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Monday.
The Raptors only led 29-27 after the first quarter, but extended that lead to 13 points by the half thanks to a dominant defensive performance in a second quarter in which they outscored the 76ers 25-14.
The scoring was pretty spread out for Toronto in this one. Pascal Siakam led the way with 23 points on 10-for-17 shooting from the field, adding 10 rebounds for the double-double.

Four other Raptors — Precious Achiuwa, O.G. Anunoby, Gary Trent Jr., and Scottie Barnes — also had double-digit points on the night.
Nick Nurse on Precious Achiuwa's performance for the #Raptors tonight:
"He's really playing well. He's got a huge assignment for a lot of the game… we were trying to match him minutes there with Embiid for the second half. He's made some really decisive offensive moves."— Adam Laskaris (@adam_la2karis) April 26, 2022
Nick Nurse on if the #Raptors have taken back momentum in the series:
"I mean, maybe, but it doesn't really matter. The ball goes up on Thursday, everybody's got to fight like heck."— Adam Laskaris (@adam_la2karis) April 26, 2022
Fred VanVleet did not play on Monday after leaving late in the first half of Game 4 on Saturday with a hip injury.
Joel Embiid led the Sixers with 20 points on 7-for-15 shooting to go along with 11 rebounds. James Harden struggled, finishing with 15 points on 4-for-11 shooting.
Game 6 will be played at 7 pm ET/4 pm PT at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Thursday.

RINGGOLD, Ga. (AP) — As he met with voters recently in a part of northwest Georgia where Donald Trump is still very popular, David Perdue invoked his belief in the lie that elections in 2020 and 2021 were stolen from the former president and himself.
“First of all, it was stolen,” Perdue said. “The facts are coming out.”
When the rally was over, Perdue visited the storefront office of a group that similarly espouses election falsehoods. Perdue posted a photo on his Facebook page of himself beaming as the group's cofounder talks under a banner proclaiming “a legal vote requires the rule of law.”
The emphasis on false election claims is a reminder of how far Perdue has veered to the right ahead of next month's primary against incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. He's evolved from a business-minded conservative who won a U.S. Senate seat in 2014 by focusing on federal spending to a hard-liner who associates with conspiracy theorists.
That tracks with the broader shifts in the Republican Party under Trump. But some in the GOP warn that the fixation on past elections will do little to win a general election in Georgia, where moderate voters are crucial.
“I think David Perdue had a broad appeal in 2014,” said Eric Tanenblatt, former chief of staff to ex-Georgia Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue and a former fundraiser for David Perdue who is backing Kemp in the primary. “I think he was a lot more relatable because he was talking about issues that were a lot more appealing to the broader electorate.”
Perdue, who was personally courted by Trump to enter the race as retribution for Kemp not going along with election lies, has trailed in the governor's race. But as the May 24 primary nears, the former chief executive of Reebok and Dollar General insists he hasn't changed.
“Even in the Senate, I was an outsider,” Perdue said in Ringgold. “I was never part of the good ol' boys club up there, trust me.”
Still, Perdue's sharpest focus is on claims that Georgia’s 2020 presidential election and 2021 Senate runoffs, in which Perdue lost to Democrat Jon Ossoff, were fraudulently won by Democrats. No credible evidence has emerged to support Perdue and Trump’s claims of mass voter fraud. Federal and state election officials and Trump’s own attorney general have said the election was fair, and the former president’s allegations were also roundly rejected by courts, including by judges Trump appointed.
During the speech, he touted his lawsuit that seeks to unseal physical ballots for examination in Atlanta’s Fulton County, making allegations without evidence that poll workers took bribes and people were paid to gather and deliver ballots illegally.
“Who paid you to deliver those harvested ballots?” Perdue asked, suggesting that was a question his lawsuit would settle.
Perdue in 2014 was channeling some of the same businessman-outsider themes that Trump harnessed so powerfully two years later. But he was more subtle then, introducing himself to voters as a “different type of person” who cared most about reforming federal spending.
Perdue wasn't generally seen as the most conservative choice in 2014. After winning the primary, he defeated Democratic candidate Michelle Nunn, whom he said he still considered a friend years later, a nod to a bipartisanship out of vogue among hardcore partisans.
While Perdue was considered a strong conservative in the Senate, there were times he could reach across the aisle. He sought to curb school shootings by promoting better practices for campus safety and security. Perdue offended some conservatives by voting for $900 billion in additional COVID-19 relief in December 2020, while locked in a runoff with Ossoff.
Perdue was never afraid to play to the far right. In 2016 he asked an evangelical Christian audience to pray for President Barack Obama, citing a psalm that calls for vengeance on the enemies of God: “Let his days be few, and let another have his office." Perdue denied wishing actual harm on the president.
Today, Perdue blames inflation, high gas prices, immigration and American deaths in Afghanistan on Kemp’s failure to block Democrats from winning in Georgia. He warns only he can bring Trump voters to the ballot box to defeat Democrat Stacey Abrams. And he says that without Republican control in Georgia, a Republican will lose in 2024.
“You can’t win the presidency, a Republican can’t win, without Georgia," Perdue said. “And if Stacey Abrams wins this governor’s job, no Republican’s going to win this state for president. Just trust me.”
After Perdue finished speaking to Catoosa County Republicans, he and his wife drove the 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) to an office of VoterGA, wedged between a discount grocer and a Dollar Tree. VoterGA has been protesting Georgia's election system for years, including a failed lawsuit to toss a previous generation of electronic voting machines. VoterGA co-founder Garland Favorito has risen to prominence with Trump's relentless focus on fraud claims.
Favorito has also questioned the official version of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He's claimed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh improperly covered up the 1993 death of Vince Foster, a lawyer for then-President Bill Clinton.
Perdue's embrace of VoterGA could be trouble in a general election in closely divided Georgia, but many primary voters appreciate his stances. Bonnie Evans, a Fort Oglethorpe retiree, said he liked Perdue's promises to bolster the state police and crack down on immigrants in the country illegally.
“I'm a 100% for him,” Evans said. “I was about 80% for him coming in. I think he has common sense. He's not a career politician.”
Perdue also lines up behind other proposals that divide Republicans. Perdue and Trump want Atlanta's affluent, white-majority Buckhead neighborhood to get a vote on seceding from the Blacker, poorer remainder of Atlanta. Those who favor a divorce claim Atlanta will never be able to reduce violent crime, but got nowhere in the state legislature this year amid intractable opposition from business groups.
The candidate also amplifies opponents of a $5 billion, 7,500-job electric truck plant announced east of Atlanta by Rivian Automotive of Irvine, California. Residents knock the plant for ruining their rural quality of life and the state for not consulting them. Perdue in an ad blames “RINO Brian Kemp” for a “secret backroom deal” for a “scheme to give away hundreds of millions of tax dollars” to a company owned by “liberal billionaire George Soros.”
Those claims overstate Soros' role. He bought $2 billion worth of shares about the same time Rivian chose Georgia, but Soros owns only 2% of Rivian and there's no evidence he had any influence on the announcement. The deal is secretive, but no more secretive than other incentive deals Georgia hands out.
The Anti-Defamation League has said that misinformation about Soros is a cornerstone of antisemitic activity.
The attacks on Rivian show Perdue's alienation from some parts of the business community. The Georgia Chamber of Commerce, which endorsed Perdue in 2020 and has endorsed Kemp this year, said in February that politicians criticizing Rivian "are counterproductive and harmful to the long-term economic prosperity for our communities.”
Polls show Perdue trailing Kemp and the challenger has so far raised less money, but he told the group in Ringgold, part of a Republican-dominated north Georgia region key to Perdue’s hopes, that he could win.
“It’s right here in our hands,” Perdue said. “We have the numbers, if we all vote.”

Fighting Miners set for season opener against Cerberus
Bendigo Fighting Miners will launch into their 2022 season this weekend.
To kick off the Rugby Victoria competition the squad will head to Melbourne to take on friendly foe Cerberus.
The two teams have a long history which includes the Miners defeating Cerberus in the 2015 grand final in addition to being undefeated in recent years at their home-base.
"We want to keep that undefeated streak going," Miners president Garry Valente said.
SPORT NEWS:
He said the team had been hard at work during the pre-season on the back of what had been two COVID-19 interrupted seasons (2020, 2021).
"The boys are all very excited to get back into it as it's been a long time between drinks," he said.
"The playing group is gelling together really well and they're ready to have a red hot crack at Cerberus this weekend."
"During pre-season they've spent plenty of time training as well as working out in the gym."
Veteran Miner Paula Maka is back in the top job as head coach and will be bolstered by a team of senior leadership players.
At the end of the 2021 season, Maka flagged specific areas of game play he wished to improve ahead of 2022.
"A focus will be defence," he said.
"It's an element where I believed we lacked last year. But all in all it's going to be a promising year for the club."
The Miners' first home game of the season will come in round two when they host Brimbank at the Epsom Huntly Recreation Reserve.

Apr 25 2022Reviewed by Alex Smith
Special economic and environmental benefits in particular applications (for example, gas or liquid molecules) have been displayed by the adsorption-based isolation technologies.
As far as industrial applications are concerned, perfect high-efficiency adsorbents not only need high adsorption capacity or selectivity but also require good machinability, mechanical stability and cycling. Hence, it is essential to arrange the adsorbents into high-stability monoliths (for instance, aerogels, membranes, spheres, etc.).
In recent times, the so-called COFs, as a developing class of advanced adsorbents, have illustrated several inspiring performances in several separation fields. But the majority of the advanced COF adsorbents still lack stability (mostly constructed by the reversible bond linkages), have low processability (majorly existing as microcrystalline powders), and have trouble with scalable synthesis.
Thus, it is of great importance to make new strategies to generate highly strong COF monoliths (for example, porous foams) for practical applications.
Frequently, melt polymerization techniques are utilized to make linear polymers. As both monomers and polymers are in a molten form, it is simple to directly process and shape. Having been motivated by this, Zhang’s group from Nankai University initially introduced the so-called “melt polymerization” strategy into COFs synthesis.
With the addition of benzoic anhydride as a flux, a “one-step thermoforming” technique was developed to make a range of olefin-linked COF foams.
This is due to the flux that promoted the monomers to develop a eutectic, which gradually crystallized upon heating, and eventually solidified to develop highly crystalline COF foams (density as low as 0.23 g/cm3).
Not only can this technique improve the porosity and crystallinity of the reported COFs, but it can also help generate new COFs that are hard to be achieved by adopting the conventional solvothermal techniques.
For instance, a novel olefin-linked COF (NKCOF-12) with ultra-micropores measuring (0.58 nm) was synthesized initially by this method. These obtained foams illustrate outstanding mechanical properties and processability which are ideal for adsorption and separation.
The oil-water selective adsorption experiments displayed that such foams obtained highly efficient oil-water separation (up to 99% removal efficiency) with ultrahigh reusability (over100 cycles) and easy recycling. Furthermore, NKCOF-12 with the smallest pore size amongst all the reported eclipsed stacking 2D COFs was built.
NKCOF-12 has been attributed to its even ultramicroporous channel (0.58 nm) and enriched binding sites, and hence it exhibits outstanding C2H2/CO2 separation performance with greater C2H2 purity (99.3%) compared to the benchmark materials.
This work mot only offers a chance for the construction of COF foams through melt polymerization but also considerably progresses the growth of COFs for practical applications.

Scott Furrow is the new host of ‘SoCal Live’ on Salem Media Groups 99.5 FM KKLA Los Angeles. A pastor for 25 years, Scott served as Senior Pastor of the First Baptist Church of San Diego for the past 18 years.
“I was extremely impressed with Scott Furrow’s decision two years ago to not only serve as Senior Pastor, but also host a daily radio program on sister station KPRZ in San Diego,” said Rodney Miller, Director of Programming. “Scott left his sermon notes at the Church and instead brought in the top news stories discussing them from a spiritual and values perspective.”
“As a pastor, my passion and my calling has been encouraging people to grow in their faith and to be more Kingdom-minded in everyday life,” said Furrow. “Hosting the ‘SoCal LIVE’ weekday program on 99.5 FM KKLA will enable me to do that on a much larger scale.” | https://radioink.com/2022/04/25/new-host-for-socal-live/ | 2022-04-26T06:08:28Z | https://radioink.com/2022/04/25/new-host-for-socal-live/ | true | 1 |
Twitter will be bought by entrepreneur Elon Musk for around $44 billion — a move that could have major implications for the platform’s users and advertisers.
Musk brought forward an unsolicited bid to purchase Twitter for $54.20 a share in mid-April. At first, Twitter attempted to stop Musk's acquisition with a “poison pill,” a defense tactic used to prevent or discourage a potential hostile takeover
But Twitter's board of directors unanimously agreed to Musk’s offer on Monday afternoon (April 25). Twitter's independent board chair, Bret Taylor, said the board conducted “a thoughtful and comprehensive process” to assess the proposal, adding “we believe it is the best path forward for Twitter's stockholders.”
The news ends a nearly months-long dance between Twitter and Musk, who became the company’s largest shareholder on April 5 after buying 9% of the company’s stock and flirted with joining its board before offering to take the company private.
Musk has already proposed a string of changes to Twitter to make the platform “better than ever,” he said in a statement. He intends to roll out new features, make Twitter’s algorithms open source “to increase trust,” defeat spam bots and authenticate all humans.
“Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it,” Musk said in a statement.
Musk, who has more than 83.6 million followers on Twitter, had earlier said that if he succeeded in acquiring Twitter, he intended to relax the company’s moderation policies.
He echoed his thoughts towards prioritizing free speech in his Monday statement: "Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.”
In the U.S., lawmakers are speculating what Musk’s stance on free speech means for former President Donald Trump’s potential return to the platform.
The outspoken entrepreneur, who is the CEO of Tesla among other ventures, had also previously suggested several changes to Twitter’s premium subscription service, Twitter Blue. In a Twitter post earlier in April, he suggested the service should be priced less than the current $2.99 a month, should have “no ads” and should provide an option to pay in the cryptocurrency dogecoin.
Musk’s transaction to wholly own Twitter is expected to close in 2022, subject to the approval of Twitter stockholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
The deal comes after Twitter missed analyst estimates on earnings, revenue and user growth in its most-recent earnings for the fourth quarter of 2021. It was the first quarter under Parag Agrawal’s leadership as CEO, after Jack Dorsey stepped down from the role in November.
Advertisers spent $4.5 billion on Twitter in 2021, up from $3.2 billion in 2020. | https://www.campaignlive.com/article/twitter-agrees-sell-elon-musk-promises-string-changes/1753970 | 2022-04-26T06:10:36Z | https://www.campaignlive.com/article/twitter-agrees-sell-elon-musk-promises-string-changes/1753970 | true | 2 |

A base-loaded, two-out walk by Conlan Moore forced in the winning run as Covington edged West Lafayette in nine innings by the score of 8-7.
Wyatt Martin got things started for the Trojans in the bottom of the ninth as he beat out an infield hit to reach first.
Eventual winning pitcher Conor Winn then reached on an error by the Red Devil second baseman to put runners on first and second.
Keaton Fye, who had been part of a rally that got Covington into extra innings, put down a bunt, but the West Lafayette pitcher fielded it and threw Martin out at third.
The next batter popped up for the second out of the inning, bringing up Cian Moore who singled to left field to load the bases with Conlan Moore seeing four straight balls for the game-winning walk.
The contest did not start off well for the Trojans as the Red Devils led off with a solo home run over the centerfield fence to go up 1-0 on the way to a two-run inning.
The Trojan leadoff hitter reached on an error but was later erased on a double play that kept Covington off the scoreboard.
West Lafayette added another run in the second on a walk, a stolen base and a single to lead 3-0.
The Red Devils made it 5-0 in the fourth on a double and two singles with all three hits coming after two batters were out.
Covington matched those two fourth-inning runs as catcher Harden Knapp walked and was replaced by courtesy runner Gage Pearman.
Dane Gerling singled and Martin doubled for one run and then Fye singled to make the score 5-2.
Jackson Kindell came in to pitch for Covington in the fifth and he retired West Lafayette in order with the Trojans adding a run in their half on a single by Conlan Moore and a double by Knapp that made it 5-3.
West Lafayette continued to attack at the plate and they scored two more runs in the top of the sixth on a single, a hit batsman, a stolen base, another single and an error for a 7-3 score.
The Trojans almost closed the gap in the bottom of the sixth as Winn doubled, Fye single, Cian Moore tripled and Conlan Moore singled to plate three runs and make the score 7-6.
Tanner Schaeffer took the mound for Covington in the top of the seventh and he got two outs, but also hit a batter and walked two so the Trojans sent Winn to throw in relief
The junior forced a pop-up that kept the Red Devils from scoring, meaning the Trojans had to get a run to extend the game or two runs to win in the bottom half of the inning.
After a fly ball to deep center for an out, Gerling beat out a throw to first for an infield single.
Martin was hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second with the ensuing batter making the second out of the inning.
Fye came up and doubled to centerfield, scoring Gerling to tie the game at 7-7 with Martin being tagged out at home to end the inning.
Neither team scored in the eighth with Winn setting West Lafayette down in order and Covington unable to score despite getting an intentional walk, an error and an infield hit as the lead runner for the Trojans was cut down at home.
In the ninth, Winn gave up a single but retired the other three Red Devils he faced, which brought up the eventual bases-load walk to give the Trojans the 8-7 win.
Covington coach Scott Holycross praised his team, saying, “We were down 7-2 [actually 7-3] and we just battled. Last year, it would have been all over, but this year’s team is different. They want to win and keep fighting to the end.” | https://www.newsbug.info/wcinews/sports/baseball/walk-off-walk-wins-for-covington-baseball/article_ff788c41-e4f7-5c4f-86c7-fb8acea0a683.html | 2022-04-26T06:12:48Z | https://www.newsbug.info/wcinews/sports/baseball/walk-off-walk-wins-for-covington-baseball/article_ff788c41-e4f7-5c4f-86c7-fb8acea0a683.html | true | 1 |
Gov. Jan Brewer says she looking for ways to find more money for education following the defeat earlier this week of Proposition 204.
Among those opposing the measure was Gov. Jan Brewer. Her objections included the fact that while the initiative would have raised about $1 billion a year, only $90 million was tied to performance measures. The governor told Arizona Public Radio that's not acceptable.
"If we're going to do things, we need accountability," she said. "That's what it all comes down to. Accountability."
Brewer said that has to involve student testing -- but done in a way to recognize that not all students in the same grade are starting from the same point.
"There are ways I've been told that you're able to do that, that they grow in that period in time, that they just don't pass the test but that they grow from where they were at the beginning," she said. "That doesn't mean that they're all going to be rocket scientists, but that they've grown. Somebody's teaching. Somebody's learning."
The governor was party to the reductions made in education funding during the recession, a figure legislative budget analysts put at close to $600 million since 2008. She said now is a good time to look at restoring some of that.
"We have to be responsible," the Governor added. "We all know that. We're not afloat with a lot of money. But we certainly have a balanced budget, a cash carry-forward and a rainy day fund. So we can do things."
The governor releases her budget plan in January. | https://www.knau.org/state-capitol-news/2012-11-09/gov-brewer-looking-for-more-education-money | 2022-04-26T06:13:31Z | https://www.knau.org/state-capitol-news/2012-11-09/gov-brewer-looking-for-more-education-money | true | 1 |

We’ve seen the ins and outs of Ferne McCann’s private life over the years, thanks to her popular reality show First Time Mum. But Ferne’s love life has largely remained behind the scenes, with her boyfriends choosing not to go on camera.
However, as the series returns for an eighth time, that’s all set to change as Ferne introduces partner Lorri Haines – who has a son from a previous relationship – to viewers.
Ferne, 31, met real estate agent Lorri, also 31, earlier this year and she exclusively tells us that he recently moved in with her and her daughter Sunday, four.
“We thought long and hard as a couple about what would be best for our families and we’ve made this decision,” Ferne tells us. “It’s been just amazing and I’m very excited about our future. He’s the first and only person that I see a future with – not only for me but for Sunday as well.”

Here, Ferne opens up about the big move, how she’s the happiest she’s ever been in a relationship, and why she gave Lorri no choice but to be in First Time Mum…
Hi, Ferne. Have you enjoyed filming First Time Mum this time around?
The start of every series, I always feel a little bit rusty and think to myself, “What am I going to film?” But you get back into the swing of things and loads happens and, ultimately, I do feel some of the best scenes are at home, just being me. Also, Sunday’s now a little mini human – she’s very much a little girl now and I feel every age brings a newness and fresh content. That’s the beauty of it, it’s the show that keeps on giving.
What can fans expect?
With Sunday being my first and only child, I’ve always been honest with how I’m learning on the job, and learning how to be a mother with cameras around. Now that she’s a little mini human with her very strong personality, it feels different. Then, of course, I’ve finally got my new relationship. He’s the first romantic partner that’s filmed for my show so that’s been so different for me.
Were either of you nervous about Lorri being part of the show?
I think we were both a little nervous. I was nervous for him because I’ve been doing it for such a long time. But,
not blowing my own trumpet, whoever is filming with me, I like to make it as easy as possible. And it does feel quite natural. Lorri has done really well and he’s handled it really well.
Were you glad that Lorri took part?
I’m so, so proud of First Time Mum, it’s so close to my heart because I started it at a time where I was pregnant – my world felt like it was very upside down – and there was a lot of uncertainty in my life. But I had this show to really get stuck into.
Ever since that moment, it’s evolved and grown with me and Sunday. But in terms of relationships, my past two didn’t want to be involved with my show, or be on it and it was very straining on the relationship. I almost questioned how I felt about my show, which is madness because I know the work that goes into it and the amount of people that love it. I love being a part of it, so it’s quite sad that I felt like that.
Did you explain that to Lorri?
When I met Lorri, I laid all my cards on the table and said, “I’ve got a reality show on my life and if you want to be involved in my life, you are going to be expected to be on the show.” I know that sounds quite matter-of-fact and forceful but that’s just the way it is. I couldn’t have someone that made me feel uncomfortable or awkward about filming my show because it’s something I’m really proud of and I want them to feel equally as proud. I think he actually secretly loves it. He’s like, “Oh, yeah, it’s easy. The cameras just turn up and we do fun things.” It’s been great, he’s brought a new lease of life to the show so it’s been nice having to film with someone.
So does this series feel quite different to you?
Very different. It’s the first time I’m happy in a relationship and it’s the first relationship I’ve actually wanted to be in.
It just feels so healthy, fresh and exciting. Viewers haven’t seen that side of me and that’s something I’m really excited about because I know so many people have followed my journey of love and life. I’ve always been open and honest about my heartbreak, break-ups and ups and downs on the quest of finding love. I’m such a fan of love so I’ve never given up.

In the first episode Lorri sets up a very romantic surprise to ask you to be his girlfriend. Is he usually that romantic?
He’s so romantic! We’re very much settled into our relationship now. I’m not saying the honeymoon period is over
but we’re settled. He’s a true romantic. We had the most gorgeous family holiday to the Maldives and it literally was like paradise and he bought me a lovely gift. He’s very thoughtful. It’s the little gestures in life that mean the most to me. For example, because I’m a busy working single parent, just having the support of someone else is what I value the most.
So you’re living together?
Yes, we made the decision to move in together, which you see in the show, so that’s really exciting. His son lives in Essex, and he made the decision to move back from Dubai. So we thought long and hard as a couple about what would be best for our families and we’ve made this decision. It’s been just amazing and I’m very excited about our future.
Would you say you’re very much settled?
He’s the first and only person that I see a future with – not only for me but for Sunday as well. I always used to want to find someone for me, but after previous relationships, I’ve learnt that me and Sunday come as one, and if you want to be with me then you’re very much going to be with Sunday as well.

(LEAD) Hyundai Steel Q1 net more than doubles on firm demand, higher prices
(ATTN: RECASTS throughout with details; ADDS photo; CHANGES headline)
SEOUL, April 26 (Yonhap) -- Hyundai Steel Co., South Korea's No. 2 steelmaker, said Tuesday its first-quarter net profit more than doubled from a year earlier on firm demand and price hikes.
Net income stood at 488 billion won (US$391 million) in the January-March period, compared with a net profit of 219 billion won a year earlier, the company said in a regulatory filing.
Operating income also more than doubled to 697 billion won from an operating profit of 304 billion won a year earlier, and sales spiked 42 percent on-year to 6.98 trillion won, it said.
The steelmaker attributed the improved performance to firm demand for steel plates used for autos and ships, and a rise in prices of key products.
The company said it would focus on beefing up the production of high-priced steels and their sales this year.

In today’s competitive workforce market, having engaged employees is more important than ever. A disengaged employee can provide excellent customer service, but regardless of how skilled they are, if they think of your business as a mere source of income, they won’t be wowing your customers. One disengaged employee can make all your employees reevaluate their level of happiness within your business. For this reason, employee engagement is one of the most important investments you can make in your company. The good news is a lot of this is up to you.
First, it is important to decide who you are and what your mission is. The importance of sharing your mission with your employees is that it becomes the basis for all decision making. If employees know and understand your mission, they can use it as a referral point asking themselves at each decision, “Is this in line with our mission?”
Next, you need to hire in accordance to your mission and the culture that you want to create. Skills can be taught easily but shaping one’s attitude to fit the culture is a lot more difficult. Keep in mind that each new hire either brings you closer to attaining the culture you want or takes you further away from your goal. Don’t hire someone just to plug a hole in your payroll.
Now that you have hired an employee who is a good fit for your mission and culture, give them the resources they need and get out of the way. No one wants to be micromanaged. If you hire well and communicate expectations, goals and your mission, your employees will begin to feel the company’s success is their success.
Giving employees the resources to perform their jobs isn’t your only role. You need to provide feedback often. Employees are interested in guidance on their performance. It doesn’t need to be a formal review process. Just a weekly or monthly check-in on how you think things are going but it should be a two-way conversation and not a monologue.
When someone exceeds your expectations, call attention to it immediately. Give examples of why this is ideal behavior. Don’t wait for an annual review to call it to everyone’s attention. It will get lost or forgotten by then.
Create a culture where peers can also give constructive feedback, especially praising one another. Receiving peer recognition helps in team building and building a cohesive team increases employee loyalty.
If you want your business to be successful, you need to have a team that can help you attain your goals. Investing in your employees and increasing their engagement level allows you to exceed your customers’ expectations and become a company that everyone wants to work for. | https://www.wahpetondailynews.com/opinion/columnists/employee-engagement-is-an-important-investment/article_f3073256-c4ec-11ec-82a3-e759ef6682a7.html | 2022-04-26T06:38:54Z | https://www.wahpetondailynews.com/opinion/columnists/employee-engagement-is-an-important-investment/article_f3073256-c4ec-11ec-82a3-e759ef6682a7.html | false | 1 |
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs bill creating new election police unit
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Monday to create a police force dedicated to cracking down on voter fraud and other election crimes.
The new law, S.B. 524, creates an “Office of Election Crimes and Security” to investigate allegations of voter fraud. It increases the penalty for ballot harvesting from a first-degree misdemeanor to a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison. It also requires the Florida Department of State to strengthen ID requirements for mail-in ballots, requires voter rolls to be checked every year for ineligible voters and prevents election supervisors from receiving so-called “Zuckerbucks.”
DNC CHAIR JAIME HARRISON CALLS FLORIDA GOV. DESANTIS ‘THE LITTLE DEVIL’
The term “Zuckerbucks” refers to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s funding of election operations. During the 2020 election cycle, the Zuckerberg-Chan Initiative, founded by Zuckerberg and his wife, gave more than $350 million to local state jurisdictions to allegedly help counties run their elections safely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
‘THE VIEW’ RAILS AGAINST RON DESANTIS’ ACTIONS ON DISNEY: ‘A MESSAGE OF HATE’
However, a report from the Heritage Foundation’s Daily Signal found that in Pennsylvania, some counties had reportedly used funds for ‘get out the vote’ efforts and for costs unrelated to the fund’s ostensible goals. The Pennsylvania Department of State and 23 jurisdictions received $20 million from the Center for Tech and Civic Life — which distributed the funds from the Zuckerberg-Chan Initiative.
DeSantis took to Twitter to tout his signing of the bill writing, “The legislation I signed today will continue to make Florida a leader in election integrity by increasing penalties for ballot harvesting, expanding our ban on Zuckerbucks, and establishing an election integrity unit in state government to enforce our laws.”

Democrats, the minority party in the state Legislature, have criticized the bill as a way for DeSantis to appeal to Republican voters who believe the 2020 election results were fraudulent while he flirts with a presidential run of his own.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to bolster his nuclear forces at “maximum speed” and threatened to use them if provoked in a speech he delivered during a military parade that featured powerful weapons systems targeting the United States and its allies, state media reported Tuesday.
His remarks suggest he will continue provocative weapons tests in a pressure campaign to wrest concessions from the U.S. and other rivals. The parade Monday night was to mark the 90th anniversary of North Korea’s army — the backbone of the Kim family’s authoritarian rule — and comes as the country faces an economy battered by pandemic-related difficulties, punishing U.S.-led sanctions and its own mismanagement.
State media photos showed Kim, dressed in a white military ceremonial coat, smiling and waving from a balcony along with his wife Ri Sol Ju and other top deputies.
“We will continue to implement measures aimed at strengthening and developing our country’s nuclear forces at the maximum speed,” Kim told his troops and the crowd gathered for the parade at a Pyongyang plaza, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
“The fundamental mission of our nuclear forces is to deter war, but if an undesirable situation emerges on our land, our nuclear forces cannot be limited to a single mission of preventing war,” Kim said. “If any forces, regardless of who they are, try to infringe upon our fundamental interests, our nuclear forces will have no choice but to absolutely carry out its unexpected second mission.”
The parade featured marching troops shouting “hurrah!” and an array of modern weapons including missiles potentially capable of reaching the U.S. homeland as well as shorter-range missiles that can be fired from land vehicles or submarines and threaten South Korea and Japan.
One of the weapons showcased at the brightly illuminated Kim Il Sung Square, named after Kim’s late grandfather and state founder, was North Korea’s biggest, newly built intercontinental ballistic missile, the Hwasong-17.
North Korea claimed to have test-fired that missile last month in its first full-range ICBM liftoff in more that four years. South Korea disputed that, saying North Korea launched a smaller, existing Hwasong-15 ICBM following a failed launch of the Hwasong-17. Despite the outside doubts, the missile fired on March 24 flew longer and higher than any other missile North Korea has launched, demonstrating potential ability to reach deep into the U.S. mainland.
KCNA said spectators at the parade raised loud cheers when they saw the Hwasong-17, which it said showed “the absolute power of Juche (self-reliance), Korea and the strategic position of our republic to the world.”
North Korea often commemorates key state anniversaries with huge fanfare to boost an internal unity. Tuesday’s KCNA dispatch praised Kim for accomplishing "the historic great cause of completing the nuclear forces by making a long journey of patriotic devotion with a death-defying will in order to make sure that the people would eternally enjoy happiness free from the horrors of war generation after generation.”
Kim has also been reviving nuclear brinkmanship aimed at forcing the United States to accept North Korea as a nuclear power and to remove crippling economic sanctions. Analysts say North Korea is exploiting a favorable environment to push forward its weapons program as the U.N. Security Council remains divided over Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Nuclear negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang have been stalled since 2019 because of disagreements over the potential easing of U.S.-led sanctions in exchange for North Korean disarmament steps. Kim has stuck to his goals of simultaneously developing nuclear weapons and the country’s dismal economy in the face of international pressure and has shown no willingness to fully surrender a nuclear arsenal he sees as his biggest guarantee of survival.
North Korea has conducted 13 rounds of weapons tests this year, including its claimed launch of the Hwasong-19. There are also signs North Korea is rebuilding tunnels at a nuclear testing ground that was last active in 2017, possibly in preparation for exploding a nuclear device.
In 2017, North Korea claimed to have acquired an ability to launch nuclear strikes on the U.S. mainland after a torrid run of nuclear and missile tests. The North had halted such high-profile tests before it entered the now-dormant diplomacy with the United States.
The North has spent much of the past three years focusing on expanding its short-range arsenal targeting South Korea as nuclear negotiations with the United States stalled.
Kim’s aggressive military push could also be motivated by domestic politics since he doesn’t otherwise have significant accomplishments to show to his people as he marks a decade in power. He failed to win badly needed sanctions relief from his diplomacy with then-President Donald Trump, and the COVID-19 pandemic unleashed further shocks to the country’s broken economy, forcing him to acknowledge last year that North Korea was facing its “ worst-ever situation.” | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/N-Korea-s-Kim-vows-to-bolster-nuke-capability-17126585.php | 2022-04-26T06:46:20Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/N-Korea-s-Kim-vows-to-bolster-nuke-capability-17126585.php | false | 18 |
A group occupying a waterfront section in Ahipara since a pōhutukawa was partly cut down last October is bracing itself for eviction.
Occupation co-ordinator Rueben Taipari said police had visited the site last Thursday to serve him with an eviction notice.
He was not present at the time so police told the group occupying the Wharo Way site, known as Moringai, that they would be back on Monday.
As of this afternoon the group was still waiting.

Advertise with NZME."I was only down the road, I told police I'd come back and receive it — but they said they couldn't wait."
As the occupation co-ordinator, the notice had Taipari's name on it and had to be given to him in person.
"We've been here all weekend gearing up. We want to move into the next phase of our plan."
Taipari said a well-attended hui at the site on Sunday backed the group's actions so far, and came up with what he described as "tactical manoeuvres" for the next phase of the occupation.
He wouldn't say what those manoeuvres would entail.
Police were just doing their job if they served the eviction notice, Taipari said.
"It's nothing personal for me, it's just the process that occupations go through. What we decide to do about it is another matter."
The landowner, Kaitaia GP Cecil Williams, attended an earlier hui on April 3.

Advertise with NZME.The group had offered some alternative solutions "but he wasn't keen", Taipari said.
Williams told the group it could have the land if they came up with the $500,000 he said he had paid for it in 2008.
If they didn't leave he would ask police to evict them.
Taipari said the group had discussed buying the land but would not pay $500,000 for 600sq m of sandy ground that is liable to flooding.
In the meantime, the group's research into the history of Moringai — plus their fears for the remaining half of the pōhutukawa — justified the continuing occupation, Taipari said.
"We are convinced we are going to get the land back and we have some great ideas about what we're going to do with it."

Advertise with NZME.Williams couldn't be contacted today but the GP earlier told the Advocate he had been left with no choice, after waiting more than six months for a resolution, to put the section on the market in the hope of recouping the money he had spent on it.
He had originally intended to build his retirement home there but had now abandoned those plans.
Research by the Moringai group showed a significant amount of to-ing and fro-ing in 2003 over which part of the then-new subdivision would be made into a reserve.
Te Rarawa chairman Haami Piripi told the Advocate the iwi was convinced, after a previous 18-month occupation, the front two lots would be protected as a reserve.
He was surprised to discover the front section, which included the pōhutukawa, had been sold while only a 650sq m lot at 3 Wharo Way had been designated a historic reserve. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/waiting-game-for-ahipara-occupiers-as-eviction-looms/E3R6J6X7JIQXDTPFCJNZYR7EUQ/ | 2022-04-26T06:47:19Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/waiting-game-for-ahipara-occupiers-as-eviction-looms/E3R6J6X7JIQXDTPFCJNZYR7EUQ/ | true | 4 |
The U.S. Army is expanding the benefits it offers soldiers — both birth and non-birth parents — around pregnancy, parenthood and the postpartum period.
The directive – driven in part by the grassroots efforts of some soldiers – is a rewriting of policies for the branch, which includes more than 400,000 parents across the force.
The directive was a mix of new policies and updates to existing rules.
"We recruit Soldiers, but we retain Families," Gen. James McConville, chief of staff of the Army, said in a statement. "Winning the war for talent means making sure our best and brightest people don't have to choose between service and Family."
One of the rules is a provision that soldiers who give birth will be excused for a year from any continuous duty events longer than one normal duty day, including deployment and field training.
That 365-day deferment also applies to certain other non-birth parents, single soldiers and soldiers undergoing fertility treatment. One Army member of a dual-military couple that adopts or has a long-term placement of a child is also eligible for the deferment.
People who are undergoing fertility treatments will also be exempt from a permanent change of station for up to 365 days.
Army Reserve and National Guard soldiers will be granted 12 paid training days off after a birth, which ends up being between three to six months off for the part-time troops that train a few days per month, according to Military.com.
The Army is also trying to make it easier for soldiers who are breastfeeding. Commanders will be required to give soldiers who are breastfeeding 30-minute lactation breaks at least every two to three hours. Soldiers will be able to breastfeed or express milk in a private, locking room other than a restroom, with accommodations including a place to sit and a refrigerator to store milk.
"This directive seeks to normalize parenthood & extend benefits & accommodations to all new parents: dual/single military, single moms & dads," Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said in a tweet. "Our Army is 404,000 parents strong & growing!"
The Army also made changes to physical fitness requirements for soldiers who recently gave birth.
The Air Force, Navy and National Guard Bureau have yet to publish new policies, Military.com reported.

(NASDAQ: LCID) between November 15, 2021 and February 28, 2022, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important May 31, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Lucid securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Lucid class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business and operations. Specifically, Defendants overstated Lucid’s production capabilities while concealing that “extraordinary supply chain and logistics challenges” were already significantly hampering the Company’s operations. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Families take part in tree planting in Fleet
'Local schools and their pupils did us proud.'
Families planting trees during an event organised by Fleet Lions in March 2022
Families took part in a fundraising tree planting scheme in Fleet, Hampshire, last month over a weekend organised by Fleet Lions.
Trees were planted at Ancells Farm on the green behind the parade of shops, in Church Crookham at the new Community Centre, and at Calthorpe Park along the path on March 26 and March 27.
The initiative was part of Queen’s Green Canopy in honour of the Platinum Jubilee and those participating raised more than £2,200.
Graham Drayton, a member of Fleet Lions, said: “Local schools and their pupils did us proud.
“We had 200 families participating and between them they raised over £2,200 for schools’ projects.”
The number of children and adolescents taking part was lower than Fleet Lions expected, but attendees worked together to make sure the 1700 trees provided were all planted.
The main purpose of the event was to raise funds and bring the community together to enjoy some fresh air and add more green to the town.
Fleet Lions also received donations from passers-by towards their Ukraine appeal as well as their charitable funds.

WeWork rival IWG revenue rises but inflation in focus
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
April 26 (Reuters) - Office rental company IWG (IWG.L) on Tuesday warned of higher costs this year due to rising inflation, after posting a rise in quarterly revenue buoyed by growing demand for flexible and hybrid workspaces.
Workspace landlords like IWG are recovering gradually from the pandemic as people return to offices and businesses choose hybrid work models where employees split time between home and office.
The London-listed owner of the Regus and Spaces brands of workspaces said revenue jumped nearly 18% to 613.7 million pounds ($782 million) in the first quarter ended March 31, with occupancy nearing pre-pandemic levels.

IWG said current coronavirus lockdowns in China were hurting its business and that the return to normal conditions there had been "slower than previously hoped."
The Switzerland-headquartered company has about 3,500 buildings in more than 120 countries and counts 83% of Fortune 500 firms among its customers.

The sugar maple might get all the attention for it's sweet syrup. But it's southwestern cousin the box elder also has a sweet side...
The box elder doesn't get much respect. But this knobby, oddball native of southwestern riparian areas is related to the renowned sugar maple - and like its better-known cousin, it also has a sweet side in spring.
Box elders are fast growing and well-suited to a high desert climate: they can tolerate drought, hot summers, poor soils, and sub-zero winter temperatures. But they have soft wood and an often scrubby growth form; they're susceptible to disease; and they have a tendency to shelter hordes of black and red box elder bugs.
For those reasons, the tree isn't usually highly regarded by arborists or landscapers. But springtime pulls a sweet sap up through box elder trunks and a few enterprising residents of the Colorado Plateau have begun collecting it to make a sweet syrup.
Tree tapping is a low-budget affair involving plastic buckets and tubing. Sap starts flowing during the distinct window of time when daytime temperatures reach the 40s, while nighttime temperatures remain well below freezing. As soon as the tree's flower buds begin to swell, the taste of the sap changes unpleasantly.
Box elder sap has a unique taste, more reminiscent of caramel than maple. It takes an alarming 3 gallons of sap, boiled down for hours, to produce 1 cup of syrup, while the kitchen becomes its own steam room of sweetness. But that one cup is a delight puddled onto Sunday waffles, a local celebration of spring.

Mike Tyson Reveals the Moment That Made Him Snap, Pummel Punk on Plane
Boxing great Mike Tyson says the man he punched on a plane this week was drunk and provoked him into the altercation.
A video went viral on Thursday showing the former heavyweight champion punching a JetBlue airline passenger multiple times in the face after the man repeatedly taunted him.
But Tyson’s representatives said in a statement that he threw his punches only after the “aggressive” man threw a water bottle at the 55-year-old “Iron Mike,” the New York Post reported Friday.
TMZ Sports reported that Tyson had posed for a selfie with the passenger and his friend when they first boarded the flight. But the man kept bothering Tyson after the photo.
The video posted by TMZ showed the passenger sitting behind Tyson and chattering, mugging for the camera and pestering him.
There is an edit in the video before the recording then shows Tyson reaching over from his own seat and pummeling the man as another passenger tried to push Tyson away from the altercation.
The video ends with the man Tyson pummeled making a sad face and pointing to the contusions on the right side of his face.
Sources told TMZ that the man Tyson punched was “extremely intoxicated … and wouldn’t stop provoking the boxer in his seat.”
But now Tyson’s camp is saying the provocation was more than just verbal.
“Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat,” Tyson’s representatives said, according to the Post.
The San Francisco Police Department issued a statement about the incident on Twitter.
“On Wednesday April 20, 2022 at approximately 10:06 PM, officers assigned to the SFPD Airport Bureau were dispatched to a physical altercation onboard an airplane located at the Domestic Terminal” of the San Francisco International Airport, it said.
“Officers arrived and detained two subjects that were believed to be involved in the incident. One subject was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries. That subject provided minimal details of the incident + refused to cooperate further with the investigation,” the department said.
It said both subjects were released pending further investigation.

(3/3) Both subjects were released under 849(b) of the CA Penal Code pending further investigation. We are aware of video that possibly captured the incident, which surfaced following the initial investigation. That video has been forward to @SMCSheriff.

Violence is almost always a bad idea, but sometimes people earn the ire with which they are confronted. The video clearly shows that the passenger was constantly pestering Tyson.
It is a bit hard to understand what he expected from the boxing champion, but alcohol apparently played a role in his actions.
The incident seems to have provoked more sympathy for Tyson than for the man he punched.
Rapper and actor Ice T had no sympathy for the passenger:
Mike Tyson punched somebody who was Fn with him……. The problem is nowadays, MFs think they WON’T get punched in the Face…
— ICE T (@FINALLEVEL) April 21, 2022
And UFC chief Dana White had an amusing bit of advice for folks:
Hey dummies, for future reference, this is how you stay alive when bumping into @MikeTyson on an airplane. pic.twitter.com/gJFoKOtmkO

It just goes to show that poking the bear is never a good idea, and sometimes you earn your rewards.

There are many distractions heading into midterms. How can Democrats refocus?
How much trouble are Democrats in this fall? The party controls the White House and, by narrow margins, Congress. But the president's approval rating is well below 50%, and many lawmakers face tough campaigns. Now the White House is tangled in another round of the politics of COVID, appealing a judge's...

They didn't think that through! Hilarious snaps reveal bizarre decisions - from a basketball net placed under a window to an unfortunate pool float
- Doc Journals has rounded up photos of funny mistakes from around the world
- A window could easily be mistaken having a basketball net placed underneath
- Another photo shows a pool float that could be mistaken for a big sanitary towel
We're all guilty of making silly mistakes when we're in a hurry or having a bad day, but some errors are such howlers that you can't help wondering what on earth people were thinking.
Doc Journals has rounded up photos of amusing errors from around the world that show a very startling lack of practicality.
For instance, an individual from the UK who put their tea and coffee in the wrong pots decided to cross out the names on the front and write it back on again with marker, instead of just swapping the contents.
Another individual attached a basketball net to their house without considering the likelihood of the ball accidentally shattering the window above.
And a kindergarten in Taiwan started an admirable gardening project where children put their photos beside their plants, but the result unfortunately resembled some kind of mass grave.
