SINGAPORE - Three people who were trapped in a lift at Junction 10 mall were rescued by Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers on Tuesday (April 26).
SCDF said in a Facebook post that the three were rescued through a system of pulleys and ropes from a lift that was stuck between the second and fourth floors of the mall at 1 Woodlands Road. The lift does not serve the third floor.
SCDF received a call for assistance at about 5.10pm on Tuesday.
As power could not be restored to the lift, rescuers from the elite Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team were deployed for the rescue operation, SCDF said.
A rescue system of pulleys and ropes was set up on the fourth floor, which enabled two rescuers to lower themselves and access the lift through an access hatch.
SCDF said: "Each trapped person was secured in a rescue harness before being brought out of the lift using a ladder. A specialised portable battery-operated device was then used to raise each of the trapped persons to safety."
The three people were assessed for injuries but refused to be taken to hospital, SCDF added. | https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/scdf-rescues-3-people-trapped-in-lift-at-junction-10-mall | 2022-04-27T02:36:30Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/scdf-rescues-3-people-trapped-in-lift-at-junction-10-mall | false | 3 |
NCAA President Mark Emmert stepping down no later than 2023
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — NCAA President Mark Emmert is stepping down after 12 tumultuous years leading an association that has become marginalized while college sports has undergone massive changes and been besieged by political and legal attacks.
NCAA Board of Governors Chairman John DeGioia announced the move Tuesday and said it was by mutual agreement. The 69-year-old Emmert will continue to serve in his role until a new president is in place or until June 30, 2023.
The move is not entirely a surprise. The NCAA remains the biggest governing body in college athletics, but it is has been under sharp criticism for years as too heavyhanded and even out of date with Emmert serving as the prime target.
Emmert has guided the NCAA through the most transformative period in the history of the more than 100-year-old organization. During the past decade, athletes have gained more power, benefits and ability to earn money than ever before. Amateurism has been redefined.
But Emmert has been viewed by some as not a catalyst for change but as an obstacle standing in the way — or at the least reactive instead of proactive.
“Throughout my tenure I’ve emphasized the need to focus on the experience and priorities of student-athletes,” Emmert said in a release from the NCAA. “I am extremely proud of the work of the association over the last 12 years and especially pleased with the hard work and dedication of the national office staff here in Indianapolis.”
The announcement comes one year after the board approved a contract extension for Emmert that ran through the 2025, a move that left many in college sports bewildered. Emmert’s yearly salary was nearly $3 million.
The NCAA has suffered a series of damaging court losses that peaked with last year’s 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against the association in an antitrust case. The decision undercut the NCAA’s ability to govern college sports and prompted a total overhaul how it operates.
Years after losing an antitrust case over the NCAA’s use of athletes’ names, images and likenesses, the association finally changed its rules last June to allow the athletes to profit as paid sponsors and endorsers. The move came only after state lawmakers passed laws to neuter the NCAA’s power, and with Congress unwilling to provide federal protection, the NCAA has been unable to regulate NIL activity with uniform rules — leading to fresh criticism.
Emmert was appointed to the job in April 2010. He had led the University of Washington and LSU prior to taking over in Indianapolis.
NCAA revenue has reached more than $1 billion per year under Emmert, primarily through the TV deals for the men’s college basketball tournament, and most of the money is redistributed to more than 1,100 member schools with nearly 500,000 athletes.
Still, the disparity between what the wealthiest schools bring in compared to what the vast majority of schools spend on athletics has made it difficult for them all to coexist under one umbrella organization.
NCAA member schools adopted a new constitution in January and are in the process of “transforming the structure and mission to meet future needs.”
“With the significant transitions underway within college sports, the timing of this decision provides the association with consistent leadership during the coming months plus the opportunity to consider what will be the future role of the president,” DeGioia said. “It also allows for the selection and recruitment of the next president without disruption.”

Newtown Township latest municipality to eye reduction in single-use plastics
Newtown Township has become the latest Bucks County municipality to pass a resolution urging a voluntary reduction in the use of single-use plastics like supermarket bags and disposable eating and drinking utensils, as officials say they are creating serious environmental issues affecting people, animals and marine life alike.
Elaine McCarron, co-chair of the township Environmental Advisory Council, presented a report at the township supervisors' April 13 meeting on the effects single-use plastics have on the environment, saying single-use plastics don't break down in the environment for 400 to 1,000 years resulting in a "toxic residue for many generations to come."
Following the presentation the supervisors voted unanimously for the resolution which "encourages businesses, residents and visitors to voluntarily participate in reducing the distribution of single-use plastic bags, straws and polystyrene containers."
Each year the United States generates 35 million tons of of plastics refuse, McCarron said, including 100 billion plastic bags, 50 billion plastic water bottles and 25 billion foam cups.
While about 8 to 10% of plastics in the United States can be recycling, plastic bags are too thin. They get caught in machinery and can contaminate it, she said. Plastic bags and wrappings form almost 50 percent of the plastics in landfills and can leach into waterways.
Other single-use plastics include foam cups, plastic eating utensils and straws. These items can be eaten by animals and marine life and because of this, microplastics ― tiny pieces of plastic about the size of sesame seeds — have entered our food supply and the atmosphere, along with toxic chemicals that are released when plastics are incinerated.
"We inhale about a credit card size of plastics every day," McCarron said.
More:Doylestown Council asks Gov. Wolf, lawmakers
Penn Environment tested 53 waterways in Pennsylvania including the Neshaminy and Tohickon creeks and the Delaware Canal and all of them were contaminated with macro- and microplastics, sne noted.
McCarron and Carol Walsh, also an EAC member, advised residents to take reusable bags with them when shopping and to patronize restaurants and stores that are making efforts to find alternatives to single-use plastics.
In Bucks County, Doylestown Township and Solebury have passed resolutions to reduce the use of plastic while Doylestown Borough is considering a resolution, McCarron said. Warrington also is working on a resolution or other legislation. The City of Philadelphia, Narberth and West Chester passed ordinances and Bethlehem, Lehigh County and Pittsburgh are considering similar resolutions or legislation. Several other states have also enacted measures to reduce the use of plastics.
In 2015, the United States enacted the Microbead Free Waters Act to prohibit the use of microbead plastics in the making of cosmetics and other products so that they don't end up in waterways.
Some businesses that support the effort already have come up with different alternatives to plastics for dining and packaging. One supermarket even offers a cash-back incentive to customers who bring their own bags, she said. "The key to being successful is to change everybody's mindset...Bring your own bag."
Several people in the audience spoke in support of the voluntary reduction in plastic use. "This effort is really a feather in the cap of Newtown Township, one resident said. | https://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/story/news/2022/04/27/newtown-township-joins-towns-urging-reduction-in-single-use-plastics-bucks-county/65352000007/ | 2022-04-27T02:42:38Z | https://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/story/news/2022/04/27/newtown-township-joins-towns-urging-reduction-in-single-use-plastics-bucks-county/65352000007/ | false | 3 |

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (AP) — A federal appeals court on Tuesday agreed to reconsider a ruling that rejected the state’s first-in-the-nation ban on for-profit private prisons and immigration detention facilities.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a new hearing before an 11-judge panel, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Last October, a three-judge appellate panel kept in place a key piece of the world’s largest detention system for immigrants — despite a 2019 state law aimed at phasing out privately-run immigration jails in California by 2028. The law was passed as one of numerous efforts by California Democrats to limit the state’s cooperation with the federal government on immigration enforcement under the Trump administration.
However, the appellate panel ruled 2-1 that the state law interferes with the federal government’s authority. Tuesday's decision set aside that ruling and ordered a new hearing before a larger panel that will include Chief Judge Mary Murguia.
Murguia cast the dissenting vote last year. She said the law was prompted by reports of “substandard conditions, inadequate medical care, sexual assaults and deaths in for-profit facilities.”
Murguia was appointed by President Barack Obama while the other two members of the appellate panel were appointed by President Donald Trump.
The administration of Democratic President Joe Biden also has opposed the law on constitutional grounds, although Biden signed an executive order last year to end the government's use of such prisons in the future. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/New-hearing-ordered-over-California-ban-on-17129268.php | 2022-04-27T02:48:32Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/New-hearing-ordered-over-California-ban-on-17129268.php | true | 18 |

- LG Energy Solution posts quarterly revenue of KRW 4.34 trillion; operating profit at KRW 258.9 billion
- Battery manufacturer sets capital expenditures for 2022 at KRW 7 trillion
- LGES annual global manufacturing capacity will reach 520GWh by 2025
SEOUL, South Korea, April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Energy Solution (LGES; KRX: 373220) today reported its first quarter results, buoyed by steady demand for its cylindrical battery cells and enhanced productivity through automated manufacturing system.
In what was LG Energy Solution's first official earnings report since going public, the battery manufacturer said its consolidated revenue came in at KRW 4.34 trillion in the January-March span, down 2.2% on-quarter. The company logged KRW 258.9 billion in operating profit and operating margin at 6%.
LG Energy Solution largely attributed the slight drop in revenue to the rising costs of raw materials, ongoing global semiconductor shortage and supply chain disruption caused by the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and periodic COVID lockdowns. The company also added prioritizing replacing recalled batteries also dragged down the sales in the first quarter.
Despite the unfavorable commodity market conditions with prices of key battery materials such as nickel, lithium and cobalt skyrocketing, LG Energy Solution said it managed to uphold steady operating profit with solid sales of cylindrical battery cells, improved productivity due to automation, and a cost pass-through mechanism to cover rising prices of aforementioned earth metals.
Looking at the year as a whole, LG Energy Solution targeted annual sales of KRW 19.2 trillion, an increase of 8% on-year, as major partnering automakers plan to expand their EV lineups.
The company said it will invest about KRW 7 trillion in global capital expenditures to maximize its battery manufacturing capacity. LGES projected its annual production capacity to reach 200GWh this year, and 520GWh by 2025. By region, the company's battery capacity in 2025 would account for 41% in North America, which would be the largest share in the region, 37% in Asia and 22% in Europe.
LG Energy Solution also outlined its actions aimed at improving profitability amid spiraling metal prices. In addition to solidifying partnership with its suppliers, LGES said it will secure raw materials through long-term agreements and strategic equity investments. In response to the fluctuating metal prices, LGES will expand the coverage of the cost pass-through schemes by adding copper, aluminum and manganese to the existing list of lithium, nickel and cobalt.
The company revealed plans to fully transform all its facilities into smart factories to make data-driven decisions in plant operation as well as enable automatic calibration to ultimately reduce manufacturing cost while reinforcing manufacturing competitiveness. The company is also on course to strengthen its organizational structure with its newly appointed Chief Digital Officer.
To secure product competitiveness, LGES is working on a solution that can better control thermal propagation in pouch battery packs. For competitive pricing, the battery manufacturer said it continues to develop new cathode materials, while introducing high-capacity cylindrical battery cells in new form factors.
LG Energy Solution is ensuring product quality by implementing a unified operational process that comprehensively covers from identifying the root cause of battery defects to customer support. With it, LGES plans to advance automated inspection process and eventually reduce the range and the volume of recalled batteries.
"Despite global economic uncertainties, LG Energy Solution will continue to make prudent investments to revamp quality and raise product competitiveness," said Youngsoo Kwon, CEO of LG Energy Solution. "As a responsible and loyal business to our partners, shareholders and investors, LGES will lead the energy industry toward a battery-powered future with unrivaled competitiveness."

SALT LAKE CITY — Orrin G. Hatch, the longest-serving Republican senator in history and a fixture in Utah politics for more than four decades, has died at age 88.
The retired senator's death Saturday was announced in a statement from his foundation, which did not specify a cause.
A staunch conservative on most economic and social issues, he also teamed with Democrats several times during his long career on issues ranging from stem cell research to rights for people with disabilities to expanding children's health insurance. He formed friendships across the aisle, particularly with the late Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
President Joe Biden, whose served with Hatch in the Senate over three decades, on Sunday described the Republican lawmaker as a fighter for the causes he believed in, but with a softer side including writing songs and poems that he shared with friends.
"To serve with Orrin, as I did for over three decades, was to see — and appreciate — both," Biden said in a statement. "I saw that energetic, sharp-elbowed Orrin in the many battles we had over tax policy, the right of workers to join a union, and many others."
Hatch championed GOP issues like abortion limits and helped shape the U.S. Supreme Court, including defending Justice Clarence Thomas against sexual harassment allegations during confirmation hearings.
He later became an ally of Republican President Donald Trump, using his role as chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee to get a major rewrite of U.S. tax codes to the president's desk. In return, Trump helped Hatch deliver on a key issue for Republicans in Utah with a contentious move to drastically downsize two national monuments established by past presidents.
Hatch retired in 2019. Trump encouraged him to run again, but the longtime senator would have faced a tough primary and had promised to retire. Hatch encouraged Republican Mitt Romney, a Trump critic, to run to replace him.
"Few men have made their mark on the Senate as he did," Romney wrote in a tribute to his friend and predecessor, praising his "vision and legislative accomplishment."
Former Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa issued a statement recalling Hatch's help in securing conservative support for the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, which Hatch would later rank among his most important accomplishments.
"Orrin was always a likable conservative, and until the advent of the Trump administration, willing to work with liberals to find common ground and compromises," Harkin said.
Utah's Sen. Mike Lee called Hatch "a friend, a mentor and an example to me and countless others."
Hatch was noted for a side career as a singer and recording artist with themes of his religious faith, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He is survived by his wife, Elaine, and their six children.
Hatch was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1976 and served seven terms to become the longest-serving senator in Utah history. He became the Senate president pro tempore in 2015 when Republicans took control of the Senate. The position made him third in the line of presidential succession behind then-Vice President Joe Biden and the Speaker of the House. His tenure places him as the longest GOP senator, behind several Democrats.
One issue Hatch returned to over the course of his career was limiting or outlawing abortion, a position that put him at the center of one of the nation's most controversial issues. He was the author of a variety of proposed "Hatch amendments" to the Constitution aimed at diminishing the availability of abortions.
In 1991, he became known as one of Thomas's most vocal defenders against sexual harassment allegations from law professor Anita Hill. Hatch read aloud at the confirmation hearings from "The Exorcist," and he suggested that Hill stole details from the book.
While unquestionably conservative, Hatch sometimes differed with conservative colleagues — including then-President George W. Bush when Hatch pushed for federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.
In 1997, Hatch joined Kennedy in sponsoring a $24 billion program for states to provide health insurance to the children of low-income parents who don't qualify for Medicaid.
"He exemplified a generation of lawmakers brought up on the principles of comity and compromise, and he embodied those principles better than anyone," Hatch Foundation chairman A. Scott Anderson said in a statement. "In a nation divided, Orrin Hatch helped show us a better way."
Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, praised Hatch's legislative acumen.
"Orrin's decades of leadership drove an unending catalog of major legislative accomplishments and landmark confirmations," McConnell said in a statement. "He entered the Senate as a young principled conservative in the 1970s when the modern conservative movement was in its infancy. He held to his principles his whole career."
Hatch also helped usher through legislation toughening laws against child pornography and illegally downloading music.
The music-download issue was a personal one. A member of the faith widely known as Mormon, he frequently wrote religious songs and recorded music in his spare time as a way to relax from the stresses of life in Washington. Hatch earned about $39,000 in royalties from his songs in 2005.
One song, "Unspoken," went platinum after appearing on "WOW Hits 2005," a compilation of Christian pop music.
In 2000, Hatch sought the Republican presidential nomination, saying he had more experience in Washington than his opponents and could work with Democrats. Hatch acknowledged winning would be a long shot, and withdrew from the race after getting only 1% of the vote in the Iowa caucuses. He endorsed George W. Bush.
He became a strong opponent of President Barack Obama's 2009 health care law after pulling out of early bipartisan talks on the legislation. At one point, he said of the legislation: "It is 2,074 pages long. It is enough to make you barf."
Hatch faced a tough re-election battle from a conservative candidate in 2012, two years after a tea party wave carried longtime Utah Republican Sen. Bob Bennett out of office. Both Bennett and Hatch voted in favor of a 2008 bank bailout that rankled the far right.
Hatch poured about $10 million into his 2012 race and worked to build support among tea party conservatives.
Hatch was used to playing tough — he learned to box as a child in Pittsburgh to fend off the attacks of older, larger students. Unafraid to fight, he said he always made a point to quickly become friends with those he had arguments with.
When Hatch announced he would not seek re-election in 2018, he said "every good fighter knows when to hang up the gloves."
After moving to Utah in the early 1970s, Hatch — a former bishop in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — ran for his first public office in 1976 and narrowly upset Democratic Sen. Frank Moss.
In 1982, he held off challenger Ted Wilson, the Democratic mayor of Salt Lake City, to win a second term by a solid margin.
He was never seriously challenged again.
Orrin Grant Hatch was born in 1934 in Pittsburgh, to a carpenter and plaster lather. He married Elaine Hanson in 1957 and graduated from Brigham Young University in 1959. He received a law degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1962 and was a partner in the law firm of Thomson, Rhodes and Grigsby in that city until 1969.

NEW MILFORD — After to two hours of heated discussion at Tuesday night’s Board of Education meeting, New Milford High School Principal Raymond Manka said he has rescinded his resignation and plans to continue leading the school.
Immediately upon Manka’s announcement, more than five minutes of loud applause and cheers broke out in the audience of about 150 people.
Manka announced his resignation to the New Milford community Friday afternoon in an email that was sent to parents at the high school. The resignation was followed with an online petition to oust superintendent Alisha DiCorpo and a walkout by New Milford students. Neither DiCopro nor Manka have directly addressed the specific reasoning behind the resignation.
Manka became principal at the school in the spring of 2021, when he replaced former principal Greg Shugrue.
The petition, created by a caregiver of a student at the high school, circulated throughout social media that indicated Manka was one of about 10 staff members from the district who left the district since the hiring of DiCorpo about 18 months ago. The petition, which has drawn nearly 1,800 signatures, claims the high turnover is due to DiCorpo’s leadership.
On Monday morning, several hundred students at New Milford High School participated in a walk-out, in an effort to have Manka stay on at the school.
Throughout the one-hour public comment period of Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting, more than a dozen parents and students spoke in support of Manka — many sharing personal stories of how Manka changed their lives and the lives of their children.
Additionally, about a dozen parents addressed DiCorpo — both in support of her leadership and against it.
Shortly after public comment ended, the board took a 10-minute break and then, upon returning, asked publicly for Manka to speak in regard to his resignation — to which he came up to the podium and rescinded it.
“I would really like to express my thanks and gratitude for the school community, the community at large, and also to the board for granting me the opportunity to speak this evening,” Manka told Hearst Connecticut Media after the meeting while students and parents surrounded him with smiles and laughter. “There are still things that have to happen and work that has to be done but I look forward to being able to still work in and support my community.” | https://www.ctinsider.com/newmilford/article/New-Milford-HS-principal-rescinds-resignation-17129246.php | 2022-04-27T03:06:21Z | https://www.ctinsider.com/newmilford/article/New-Milford-HS-principal-rescinds-resignation-17129246.php | false | 1 |

Gold prices fell on Monday to their lowest in four weeks, as bets for an increasingly aggressive and hawkish U.S.
Federal Reserve approach to tightening monetary policy boosted the dollar and pressured demand for bullion. Spot gold was down 0.7% at $1,916.41 per ounce, as of 0545 GMT, earlier hitting its lowest since March 29 at $1,914.58. U.S. gold futures were down 0.9% at $1,917.40.
Although the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is nearing 3% and theoretically that's supposed to be a tipping point for gold, it is more about real yields that are starting to catch up and that will weigh on gold, said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management. With expectations for a half-percentage point interest rate hike at the Fed's May meeting now locked in, traders on Friday piled into bets that the U.S. central bank will go even bigger in subsequent months.
Gold is highly sensitive to rising U.S. short-term interest rates and higher yields, which increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion. It is, however, seen as a safe store of value during economic and political crises.
Gold still has some intrinsic value when economies slow because then, banks don't want to raise interest rates, Innes said, adding: "The market is pricing in rates, rates, rates. But what happens if the economy starts tanking very aggressively?"
The dollar firmed near its highest in two years, making greenback-priced gold costlier for other currency holders. Spot gold may test a support at $1,915 per ounce, with a good chance of breaking below this level and falling towards $1,889, according to Reuters' technical analyst Wang Tao.
Spot silver dipped 1.7% to an over two-month trough of $23.73 per ounce, and palladium fell 3.1% to $2,302.19. Platinum eased 0.8% to $923.00, its lowest since mid-December last year.

Following the record surge in COVID-19 cases during the Omicron-driven wave, some 58% of the U.S. population overall and more than 75% of younger children have been infected with the coronavirus since the start of the pandemic, according to a U.S. nationwide blood survey released on Tuesday.
The study issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention marks the first time in which more than half of the U.S. population has been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus at least once, and offers a detailed view of the impact of the Omicron surge in the United States.
Before Omicron arrived in December of 2021, a third of the U.S. population had evidence of a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Omicron drove up infections in every age group, according to the new data, but children and adolescents, many of whom remain unvaccinated, had the highest rates of infection, while people 65 and older - a heavily vaccinated population - had the lowest.
During the December to February period - when Omicron cases were raging in the United States - 75.2% of children aged 11 and younger had infection-related antibodies in their blood, up from 44.2% in the prior three-month period. Among those 12-17, 74.2% carried antibodies, up from 45.6% from September to December.
Scientists looked for specific antibodies produced in response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus that are only present after an infection and are not generated by COVID-19 vaccines. Trace amounts of these antibodies can remain in the blood for as long as two years.
"Having infection-induced antibodies does not necessarily mean you are protected against future infection," said the CDC's Kristie Clarke, co-author of the study, during a media briefing. "We did not look at whether people had a level of antibodies that provides protection against reinfection or severe disease."
U.S. COVID-19 infections are on the upswing, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told reporters during the briefing, rising 22.7% in the past week to 44,000 per day. Hospitalizations rose for the second week in a row, up 6.6%, largely driven by subvariants of Omicron.
While deaths fell 13.2%, week-over-week, the United States is fast approaching the grim milestone of 1 million total COVID-related deaths.
Walensky said the BA.1 variant, which caused the Omicron wave, now only accounts for 3% of U.S. transmission. Increasingly, she said a subvariant first discovered in upstate New York called BA.2.121 makes up nearly 30% of U.S. cases, and appears to be 25% more transmissible that even the highly contagious BA.2 subvariant of Omicron.
In certain counties with high COVID-19 community spread, the CDC now recommends people wear a mask in public indoor settings. It cited upstate New York and the Northeast region as areas where hospitalizations have been rising.
Walensky said the CDC continues to recommend masking in all indoor public transportation settings, and stressed that vaccination remains the safest strategy for preventing complications from COVID-19.
More than 66% of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and nearly 46% of had a booster, according to federal data. | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4520336 | 2022-04-27T03:11:36Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4520336 | false | 7 |
Which tile saw is best?
Tile saws, as their name suggests, are used to cut and trim tiles of various materials so they can be properly installed. There are several types of tile saws, each with pros and cons that can make them perfect for specific tasks — or make them expensive mistakes.
The best tile saw is the DeWalt 10-Inch Wet Tile Saw with Stand. It’s hard to beat the power of its motor and range of features.
What to know before you buy a tile saw
Hand-held tile saws
There are two types of hand-held tile saws: those for cutting masonry and those for cutting glass. Both kinds are ultra-portable — especially if they’re battery-operated — and perfect for small jobs. However, you still need tools to hold the tile you’re cutting, and they’re still expensive despite their size.
- Masonry saws look similar to circular saws. They have 4- or 5-inch blades and can be used dry or wet. They struggle with precision work.
- Glass saws look like a combination of a circular saw and an angle grinder. They have 3-inch blades and also can be used both dry or wet.
Table tile saws
Table tile saws are the standard model. They have a bevy of potential features, can handle almost any task, are highly accurate and can be stunningly affordable. That said, they’re also heavy. Many need to be used before you set out for the job site, so if there’s a mistake, you can’t fix it until you go back to the shop. Additionally, professional-grade models can be prohibitively expensive.
Rail tile saws
Rail tile saws place the spinning circular blade on rails. These saws are typically meant for commercial-grade use, which means they have the most powerful motors, the largest working areas and the most features. However, they are less precise than table models can be, usually require additional equipment to be used wet and cost thousands of dollars.
What to look for in a quality tile saw
Wet vs. dry cutting
Wet cutting is better than dry cutting in all situations. It makes for cleaner cuts, and it lowers, if not eliminates, the risk of overheating. Most wet tile saws include what you need to operate them, but some require additional equipment.
Table material
The table material needs to be water- and corrosion-resistant if you plan on operating the saw wet. Most tables are made of stainless steel for this reason, but zinc is popular as well.
Draining
The best wet-operated tile saws have some system to empty water, and that system is usually a drain plug. Otherwise, you need to tip the entire machine over or upside-down to drain it.
How much you can expect to spend on a tile saw
Tile saws cost $100-$2,000 or more. Hand-held and small table tile saws can cost $250 or less. The better table saw models will start at $250 and rise quickly. Rail models frequently cost $2,000 or more.
Tile saw FAQ
What’s the difference between electric tile saws and manual tile cutters?
A. Electric tile saws slice through tiles from top to bottom, while manual tile cutters only score the surface of the tile so you can then snap it off. It takes more time and skill to use a manual tile cutter, but even with both of those aspects on your side, there’s still a risk of the snapped edges being uneven or the tile’s surface becoming damaged. This is on top of the fact that some materials, including glass, may not be able to be scored at all.
What size tile saw should I get?
A. That depends on the size of your job and how often you’ll be using the saw. Small and one-off jobs don’t need much more than a small hand-held or portable table saw. Large table and stand-mounted tile saws are only worth the money if you’re working on an entire home or if you own a construction business.
Does the tile saw blade really matter?
A. Generally speaking, an average diamond-tipped blade is all you need. However, hard-to-handle materials, such as marble and glass, may require specialty blades.

On all three TUV offers voters certainty and clarity.
On the protocol TUV recognised the danger from day one.
When a joint letter was penned by Martin McGuinness and the then DUP leader just two months after the referendum pleading for special provisions for Northern Ireland it was TUV who called out the folly.
When Sir Jeffrey told Spotlight in March 2020 that “customs checks doesn’t [sic] mean that you change the constitutional status of a part of the United Kingdom, that’s not going to happen. Already we are seeing political parties and business leaders coming together to see how we may actually exploit the opportunities which may arise from this situation”, TUV saw the issues clearly.
When every other unionist voted, in December 2020, to accept 45 EU regulations, including the banning of British soil in Ulster, only Jim Wells and I opposed the move.
While a DUP agriculture minister was building the Poots’ Posts, TUV was clear that unionists should have no part in implementing their own destruction.
Legally too TUV has led the battle. I was one of the three original applicants in the judicial review of the protocol. Just this week we learned that the case will go to the Supreme Court.
Whether in the courts or in the Stormont chamber TUV has led in opposing the protocol.
In TUV you have the authentic voice of opposition to the border dividing our nation. A party which has put the issue of the protocol on the ballot paper — running as we are as TUV - No Sea Border.
TUV’s unequivocal stand on the protocol feeds into the second theme coming across on the doorsteps — the lack of leadership within unionism.
The ever shifting position of the DUP and UUP has left many looking for the strong leadership which is so badly needed to face down aggressive Irish republicanism.
The unionist electorate require a clear answer on whether unionism would nominate a deputy to Michelle O’Neill. TUV will not be Sinn Fein’s bridesmaid, will the DUP and UUP oblige?
Throughout my political career I have sought to offer strong and principled leadership and in 2022 I am surrounded by TUV candidates who have proven themselves in the real world and are up to the challenge of Stormont.
People like our East Belfast candidate, Parachute Regiment Falkland’s War veteran John Ross. East Londonderry TUV candidate Jordan Armstrong who served in Afghanistan. Lorna Smyth in Lagan Valley who served in the RAF in Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq. Fermanagh and South Tyrone candidate Alex Elliott who received the Queen’s Police Medal for his service in the RUC.
UDR veteran Stephen Cooper who is carrying the standard for us in Strangford. A trade unionist in touch with the working people in Ron McDowell in North Belfast and successful businessmen like West Tyrone’s Trevor Clarke, our Newry and Armagh candidate Keith Ratcliffe. Our Foyle candidate, Elizabeth Neely, knows what the pressures faced by those on the frontline of our health service are like.
My North Antrim running mate, Matthew Armstrong, knows the challenges created by the protocol first hand due to his experience in the haulage industry. We have a successful farmer in Mel Lucas in South Antrim and candidates with experience in manufacturing and construction in our Mid Ulster candidate Glenn Moore and North Down’s John Gordon.
We are also running people with experience in public office. The serving deputy mayor of Mid and East Antrim. The only unionist candidate in South Down with experience of the Assembly in Harold Mckee.
Former MLA and retired bank manager Norman Boyd in East Antrim. And we are bringing on a new generation with young men like Upper Bann’s Darrin Foster and West Belfast’s Jordan Doran.
I often hear people say that they appreciate my stand and now they have the opportunity to strengthen my hand and to strengthen unionism’s hand, by voting TUV 1 on election day.
With a strong TUV team we can deliver on the other issue which comes up often on the doorstep – a shakeup of the Stormont shambles. There is a growing realisation that it can never be made to work so long as we insist on parties which do not have to agree about anything before going into government constantly being forced together.
We need a system which empowers you, the voter, to change your government at election time and gives you an opposition to hold the powers that be to account. So on Thursday week vote in strength and for strength not weakness. Vote 1 for your TUV – No Sea Border candidate before transferring to other pro-Union, anti-protocol candidates.

Migatron Corp., the leading USA ultrasonic sensor manufacturer has recently announced a two new sensor models aimed at proximity detection and displacement measurement tasks for production line applications such as high-speed counting, liquid level, and many other areas of process control. The low-cost LCU-40APW is a self-contained sensor with an operational range from 100 mm to 1 metre with a analogue output and pulse width output included – allowing use for either fixed, factory calibrated 250mV per inch measurement (analogue) or with time-of-flight measurement to determine distance (pulse width). The new RPS-409A-IS3 is an intrinsically safe ultrasonic position sensor for measurement ranges from 100 mm to 5.5 metres in four range options where its 0 … 10 V DC output is a fixed analogue volts-per-inch value based on the maximum range of the unit. This sensor is certified for use in hazardous gas or dust environments classified as Class I, II, or III when used with approved intrinsic safety barriers. Both of these new models are available with full support from Migatron’s UK distribution partner, Ixthus Instrumentation Ltd.
Ultrasonic sensors from ISO9001:2015 registered Migatron measure distance/displacement by comparing outgoing and reflected high frequency signals against time and suit both proximity and range measurement, mainly regardless of the material, colour, transparency, or surface of the medium being measured or tracked. Across Migatron’s comprehensive range its sensors are characterised by fully sealed housings and encapsulated solid state electronics using a variety of materials – altogether offering extreme resilience to environments, providing truly long-life non-contacting measurement and essentially maintenance free operation. These sensors also offer a superior resistance to shock and vibration, infrared radiation, ambient noise, and EMI radiation. Various models cover positional accuracies in the range of 0.5 to 2 mm with Migatron’s specialist high precision RPS-412A series capable of a 5-micron accuracy and sub-micron resolution when used with suitable 14-bit resolution analogue-to-digital conversion electronics.
The fully sealed and highly durable LCU-40APW has a 42 mm diameter PVC housing and a glass filled epoxy resin sensing face. Powered from 11.8 … 30 V DC with reverse polarity protection, a choice terminal block or M8/M12 connector electrical interfacing is complemented with a selection of mating cable assemblies.
The intrinsically safe RPS-409A-IS3 sensor is housed in a 30 mm, fully sealed, PVC barrel style enclosure with a PVC sensing face. It is powered by 16 – 30 V DC with reverse polarity protection and its 0 … 10 V DC calibrated analogue output is short circuit protected. The sensor features an M12 female connector with IP67 cable assembly accessories available to order. Built-in temperature compensation ensures accurate readings throughout the -40 to +60° C operating temperature range.
Like the majority of Migatron’s ultrasonic sensors, these new models are designed to take advantage of PLC and PAC analogue input modules where the system resolution is dependent on the module’s specification and the zero and span values may be user-programmed.
Migatron is a true specialist for ultrasonic sensor technologies with a product range covering self-contained, intrinsically safe, high accuracy and close-range models as well as set-point controls. As the exclusive UK and Ireland distribution partner for Migatron Corp., as well as other selected and globally leading sensor manufacturers, Ixthus Instrumentation Ltd provides a comprehensive measurement service from component level sensor solutions to complete instrumentation systems. | https://www.automationworld.com/supplier-news/news/22197300/migatron-corporation-migatron-corporation-ultrasonic-sensors | 2022-04-27T03:11:59Z | https://www.automationworld.com/supplier-news/news/22197300/migatron-corporation-migatron-corporation-ultrasonic-sensors | false | 1 |

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Connor McDavid had a goal and three assists to outduel Sidney Crosby, and the surging Edmonton Oilers rolled past the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-1 on Tuesday night.
McDavid pushed his point total to an NHL-best 122 by finishing off his 22nd career four-point game with a pretty shot from a tight angle 9:13 into the third period. His 44th goal gave the Oilers a three-goal lead.
Evander Kane scored his sixth goal in his last four games for Edmonton. Evan Bouchard, Zach Hyman and Zack Kassian also scored as the Oilers improved to 17-4-2 in their last 23 games. Mike Smith stopped 33 shots to win his ninth straight start.
Jeff Carter picked up his 19th goal for the Penguins, who fell to Edmonton at home in regulation for the first time since 2006. Crosby had five shots on goal but didn’t record a point as Pittsburgh spent most of the night chasing after McDavid and an Oilers team that is heading to the playoffs on a tear.
The Penguins are heading the other way. Casey DeSmith finished with 37 saves for Pittsburgh, which played its fifth straight game without injured All-Star goalie Tristan Jarry. The Penguins fell to 4-5-1 in their last 10 but remained in third place in the Metropolitan Division after Washington lost to the New York Islanders.
Pittsburgh and Edmonton both came in smarting after losing on Sunday to teams playing out the string. Columbus drilled the Oilers 5-2 while Pittsburgh lost 4-1 at Philadelphia.
Given a little over 48 hours to recharge, only the Oilers seemed energized. They pushed the pace early, reeling off 16 of the game's first 24 shots and generating several breakaways or odd-man rushes. DeSmith stopped McDavid and Kane early, but Bouchard's wrist shot from near the top of the right faceoff circle zipped by the goaltender's glove 12:47 into the game to put Edmonton in front.
Bouchard appeared to give the Oilers a 2-0 lead with a wrist shot from the slot 1:58 into the second only to have the goal waved off after the Penguins successfully challenged that Edmonton began the play offsides.
Carter evened the game 5:23 into the period when Mike Matheson's blast from the point went wide of the net and right to Carter's stick at the doorstep.
Twenty-five seconds later, the Oilers finished off a pretty rush that ended with a drop pass from McDavid to Kailer Yamamoto, who then slipped the puck cross-ice to Kane. Kane beat DeSmith for his 22nd goal, heady territory considering he's played in just 41 games this season.
While the Penguins made a push, they struggled to generate consistent zone time. Edmonton was more effective at taking advantage of its opportunities.
Hyman jammed in a shot from in front on the power play 4:08 into the third to make it 3-1 and McDavid closed in on his fourth career scoring title by taking a pass from Leon Draisaitl, then skating past a pair of Penguins before ripping a shot from near the goal line high over DeSmith's right shoulder.
NOTES: Pittsburgh F Jason Zucker left in the first period with a lower-body injury and did not return. ... The Oilers were 2 for 4 on the power play. The Penguins were 0 for 4.

TORONTO (AP) — Auston Matthews scored two goals to reach 60 for the season as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Detroit Red Wings 3-0 on Tuesday night to clinch home-ice advantage in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The 24-year-old, who leads the NHL in goals, snapped a five-game goal drought and is the first player to score 60 times in a campaign since Steven Stamkos in 2011-12.
John Tavares had the other goal and Jack Campbell made 20 saves to register his fifth shutout of the season for Toronto (53-21-7), which set a franchise record with its 30th home victory of the season. William Nylander added two assists.
The Leafs are now locked into the No. 2 seed in the Atlantic Division and will open the playoffs next week at Scotiabank Arena against either the Boston Bruins or Tampa Bay Lightning.
Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 33 shots for Detroit (31-40-10).
Matthews, who suited up for his third straight game after missing three in a row with an undisclosed injury, had a number of great looks through the game’s first 35 minutes before finally solving Nedeljkovic with 4:12 left in the second period.
With the Leafs in the middle of a line change, Jason Spezza fed Matthews in front before he outwaited the Detroit goaltender and slid home No. 59 before chants of “M-V-P!” rang around Scotiabank Arena.
And after Tavares doubled the Leafs’ lead at 4:03 of the third with his 27th, Matthews made history by burying No. 60 on a power play at 5:49 when he kept the puck in at the offensive blue line before ripping a shot past Nedeljkovic’s glove to send the crowd into another frenzy.
Matthews’ teammates gave him an ovation on the bench, while some fans threw hats on the ice in honor of the accomplishment.
Toronto defenseman Jake Muzzin, who played for just the 46th time in 2021-22, returned to the lineup after sitting out the last six games with an undisclosed injury.
Alexander Kerfoot got the call on the left side of the Leafs’ top line with Matthews and Mitch Marner as Michael Bunting (lower-body injury) missed his second consecutive contest. The 26-year-old rookie winger, who was hurt Saturday in Florida, will also miss Friday’s regular-season finale against Boston.
Toronto won the first three meetings of the season with the Red Wings, including a wild 10-7 victory in the last meeting in Detroit in late February.
The Leafs had the majority of the chances in the first, including six shot attempts from Matthews, but couldn’t find a way past Nedeljkovic.
Matthews had another great opportunity four minutes into the second before Campbell denied Joe Veleno from the slot on a Detroit power play.
The Toronto netminder, who worked through some midseason struggles following an all-star worthy start to the schedule, then made another good stop on Wings rookie Lucas Raymond to set the stage for Matthews.
NOTES: Marner is three points shy of becoming the fourth player in franchise history — and second this season after Matthews — to register 100 points.

SMITHVILLE — An offensive explosion of seven runs boosted the Warriors to a come-from-behind victory over Raytown South Monday, April 25. Smithville defeated the Cardinals at home 10-4.
Smithville took a 1-0 lead after the first inning, but it was the Cardinals who took advantage of poor defense and pitching.
In the third inning, Smithville’s Ryker Edwards, who started the game, was finding it hard to locate pitches. It didn’t help that the defense was struggling behind him as the team was credited for a couple errors. The Cardinals were able to slide four runs across the board.
“We were sloppy all around in that inning,” head coach Josh Speer said. “We walked four or five guys. We couldn’t throw strikes or work ahead in counts. We made a couple of errors there that they took advantage of.”
Austin Miller came into relief for the Warriors as Edwards’ day was done. With the bases loaded, Miller was able to record the final out of the inning. The Cardinals needed 4-1 with a response needed to reclaim the lead.
The jolt of energy came in the bottom of the fourth.
Sam Wornson stepped to the plate for Smithville and unleashed on a ball that traveled into the right field wall. Wornson stepped on the gas and made it to third base.
“I got ahead in the count so I just got a fast ball and I took that way to the wall and I got a triple out of it,” Wornson said. “We were looking a little down and I was excited to start it off with a bang.”
A wild pitch on the following at-bat allowed Wornson to score as Raytown South’s lead was cut to two runs. Wornson was key in the following inning as well.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Warriors put seven runs on the scoreboard. With zero outs, Wornson stepped to the plate with the bases loaded. He hit a hard ground ball to third base that went underneath the Cardinals' player and scored two runs to give Smithville the 5-4 lead.
When Raytown South ended the fifth inning, the score was in favor of Smithville 9-4. The Warriors added another run in the sixth inning, but the momentum had clearly swung in the home team’s favor and Raytown South could not mount a comeback.
There is more to work on for the Warriors, though. Speer wants a better approach at the plate so the team is better prepared for what pitches they will see in certain situations. He also shared that the defense will need to play better.
“We have a big week ahead of us. We have some things that need to be figured out,” Speer said. “Our pitchers will figure it out and throw strikes. Our approach at the plate is what we really have to focus on.”
The upcoming week of games for the Warriors will be tough as they face four top programs starting with a game against St. Pius X on Wednesday, April 27. They will play at Harrisonville on Friday, April 29. On Saturday, Smithville will play against Joplin and Carthage in a double header that will round out the week of play. | https://www.mycouriertribune.com/sports/baseball/warriors-come-from-behind-against-raytown-south/article_a8069976-c583-11ec-abe7-b74d739da0ef.html | 2022-04-27T03:19:10Z | https://www.mycouriertribune.com/sports/baseball/warriors-come-from-behind-against-raytown-south/article_a8069976-c583-11ec-abe7-b74d739da0ef.html | false | 1 |
The University of Arizona has received $1 million to further its research into international wildlife conservation. The school announced Wednesday that an alum who lives in Tucson but wishes to remain anonymous is behind the financial pledge.
The contribution will train students studying to be wildlife conservation biologists at the School of Natural Resources and the Environment. University officials say the money will also allow for more outreach opportunities in other countries.
The donor earlier this year gave $100,000 for a school project focused on vulnerable elephant populations in the Africa savanna. | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2019-10-11/university-of-arizona-receives-donation-to-study-international-wildlife | 2022-04-27T03:20:53Z | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2019-10-11/university-of-arizona-receives-donation-to-study-international-wildlife | true | null |

Call to redirect council's budget allocation
THE community's calls for Changing Places facility have been heard by Bathurst Regional Council.
A Changing Places facility provides a height adjustable adult sized change table, a ceiling track hoist system, a toilet, and circulation spaces to meet the needs of people with complex disabilities and their carers while out in public.
At the April 20 council meeting, several speakers in the public gallery called on council to find the money to secure at least one for the Bathurst community.
The issue was also highlighted in a notice of motion by councillor Jess Jennings, who had proposed to reallocated the $2.25 million go-kart track loan to other projects, suggesting the Changing Places facility as a possible recipient.
While this notice of motion failed, councillor Ian North used the discussion of council's draft 2022-23 budget as an opportunity to suggest that the funds allocated to an upgrade of the Hector Park toilet block be redirected to a Changing Places facility.
"We have money there. We don't have to change the budget except change our priority," Cr North said.
If council adopts its budget in June with that change, the allocation to the Changing Places facility would be around $180,000.
MAKING NEWS:
After seeking advice from the director of Environmental, Planning and Building Services, Cr North nominated Machattie Park as a possible location, given it is central and accessible.
This location has been supported by private disability advocate Bob Triming.
"The location needs to be carefully considered," he said during the April 20 public forum.
"... Maybe the library with the rebuild could be an adult changeroom, together with one located at Machattie Park, that was suggested to me this evening. I think they are both great ideas."
The Bathurst Regional Access Committee (BRAC) also supports getting the facility.
Secretary Vicki Fallon said BRAC considers it to be a necessity and a priority.
"BRAC considers the provision of a Changing Place to be a necessity for the Bathurst community, providing a private and secure place for care of a personal nature, for people with disability, especially for those folk with complex needs," she said.
"Also, it must be remembered that a Changing Place facility is a need that would be an asset to Bathurst in terms of 'disability tourism', particularly when events like the car races are being held.
"Generally speaking, a facility of this kind would enhance the desirability of Bathurst as a holiday destination."

Police say a Prescott man who allegedly kidnapped and sexually assaulted a teenage girl last week is a registered sex offender.
They say 36-year-old David Littlehale is being held in the Yavapai County Jail and additional charges may be forthcoming from county prosecutors.
Prescott police say the 15-year-old victim still is recovering from her injuries.
They say the girl was walking on a street last Friday afternoon and was allegedly forced into a vehicle driven by Littlehale.
Police say the victim was taken to a house and assaulted multiple times and suffered serious injuries to her face and one eye before she escaped.
Littlehale was taken into custody late Friday night after a standoff of several hours with police.
It was unclear Monday if Littlehale has a lawyer yet. | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2019-10-21/prescott-police-sex-offender-is-accused-of-assaulting-girl | 2022-04-27T03:25:44Z | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2019-10-21/prescott-police-sex-offender-is-accused-of-assaulting-girl | false | null |

- 5 DAYS LEFT TO SEEK LEAD PLAINTIFF STATUS before May 2, 2022**
NEW YORK, April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Moore Kuehn, PLLC is investigating potential claims against:
- BlockFi
A class action lawsuit was filed against BlockFi claiming BlockFi, BlockFi, Inc. ("BFI"), BlockFi Trading, LLC ("Trading"), and BlockFi Lending, LLC ("Lending") for violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and seeks to represent all people in the United States who enrolled in a BlockFi Interest Account/Crypto Interest Account.
BFI is a financial services company that generates revenue through cryptocurrency trading, lending, and borrowing, as well as engaging in proprietary trading.
The BlockFi class action lawsuit alleges that since March 4, 2019 BFI, through its affiliates Lending and Trading, has been, at least in part, funding its lending operations and proprietary trading through the sale of unregistered securities in the form of cryptocurrency interest-earning accounts.
On or around February 14, 2022, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") "charged BlockFi Lending LLC (BlockFi) with failing to register the offers and sales of its retail crypto lending product." Further, "[t]o settle the SEC's charges, BlockFi agreed to pay a $50 million penalty, cease its unregistered offers and sales of the lending product, BlockFi Interest Accounts (BIAs), and attempt to bring its business within the provisions of the Investment Company Act within 60 days. BlockFi's parent company also announced that it intends to register under the Securities Act of 1933 the offer and sale of a new lending product. In parallel actions, BlockFi agreed to pay an additional $50 million in fines to 32 states to settle similar charges."
Blockfi Interest Account/Crypto Interest Account holders may still apply for lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the BlockFi class action lawsuit.

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City must ensure they get the small details right in their Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid as he likened their late penalty at the Etihad to another infamous European moment versus Tottenham.
City were 2-0, 3-1 and 4-2 ahead in the game against Real in a breathless, end-to-end contest, but the visitors ensured they are only a goal behind for the second leg after Karim Benzema's 82nd-minute penalty, awarded following a handball from Aymeric Laporte.
From a free kick, the ball was headed onto Laporte's outstretched arm and a spot kick was given, with Benzema chipping the ball down the middle as Ederson dived. When asked about the penalty, Guardiola recalled another Champions League handball in a similarly relentless game.
ALSO READ: Foden and Bernardo make admission over Man City display vs Real Madrid
In 2019, City were 4-2 up in their quarter-final second leg at the Etihad against Tottenham, and one-goal ahead on aggregate, before Fernando Llorente bundled in to draw Spurs level and ahead on away goals. Replays showed that the ball went in off his arm, with rules later changed to rule out such goals, regardless of intention.
"It is what it is," said Guardiola of the penalty decision.
"We were out of the Champions League versus Tottenham when it hit Llorente's hand, today hit his hand. This competition is about details. All we can do is perform. after the opponents are so good. Real Madrid punish you. What we have done with and without the ball, I cannot ask anything else. I say to players, rest, Leeds is the most important thing, after we go to Madrid to win."
Overall, Guardiola was philosophical about City's performance but admitted the scoreline could have been even more favourable for the Blues.
"It was a fantastic game for both sides," he said.
"We did many good things, unfortunately we conceded the goals, we could have scored more. Two games, we have another one.
"We play a fantastic game against an incredible team. The moments they rise into the game in the first half we gave them in terms of our build-up was nervous. But also they press really well, really strong. We played a fantastic game, for us, for Man City, we are so proud. This is about to reach the final, football happens. We go to Madrid to win the game.
"When both teams want to attack, have the quality to play, football is a fantastic spectacle. Congratulations to Carlo and his team, they are so good, the threat they have is always there. But we saw ourselves that we can be there." | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-guardiola-penalty-tottenham-23795466 | 2022-04-27T03:52:27Z | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-guardiola-penalty-tottenham-23795466 | false | 1 |

Sporting bright purple hair, the result of a church fundraiser, Joe Kindon raised his right hand and swore in as the newest member of the Newville Borough Council at their meeting Tuesday night.
Kindon, the lead pastor of Diller Mennonite Church on Creek Road in Newville and a cashier at Saylor’s Market, has been a Newville resident since 2020. He has served on the Newville Parks and Recreation Commission for over a year.
Kindon said during the meeting that several people approached him when the council vacancy opened.
“As I thought and prayed about it I saw it as a way to connect and serve the community in a different way,” he said. “ … I’m very passionate about relationships and people.”
Kindon’s appointment to council filled the vacancy created when Nathan Burrow resigned at the March meeting.
Burrow previously told the Sentinel he was stepping down to move to Texas with his family. A combat-wounded veteran, Burrow said he and his family will receive support from family and friends in the area as they navigate issues with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers.

Abstract
High-granularity vehicle trajectory data can help researchers develop traffic simulation models, understand traffic flow characteristics, and thus propose insightful strategies for road traffic management. This paper proposes a novel vehicle trajectory extraction method that can extract high-granularity vehicle trajectories from aerial videos. The proposed method includes video calibration, vehicle detection and tracking, lane marking identification, and vehicle motion characteristics calculation. In particular, the authors propose a Monte-Carlo-based lane marking identification approach to identify each vehicle's lane. This is a challenging problem for vehicle trajectory extraction, especially when the aerial videos are taken from a high altitude. The authors applied the proposed method to extract vehicle trajectories from several high-resolution aerial videos recorded from helicopters. The extracted dataset is named by the High-Granularity Highway Simulation (HIGH-SIM) vehicle trajectory dataset. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and understand the quality of the HIGH-SIM dataset, we compared the HIGH-SIM dataset with a well-known dataset, the NGSIM US-101 dataset, regarding the accuracy and consistency aspects. The comparison results showed that the HIGH-SIM dataset has more reasonable speed and acceleration distributions than the NGSIM US-101 dataset. Also, the internal and platoon consistencies of the HIGH-SIM dataset give lower errors compared to the NGSIM US-101 dataset. To benefit future research, the authors have published the HIGH-SIM dataset online for public use.

The unprecedented national crisis has led to a collapse in the public liking of all politicians. At the Institute for Health Policy (IHP), we have been tracking favourability of several institutions and political personalities since last year. The past two months has seen substantial declines in favourability of all politicians. This has affected politicians in both government, such as the President and Prime Minister, and opposition politicians, and in opposition, such as Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa, JVP leader Anura Dissanayake and UNP leader Ranil Wickremasinghe. It’s also hit the favourability of politicians who were previously popular such as former minister, Dr. Sudarshini Fernandopulle, who has consistently remained the most popular politician we track.
This public displeasure is specific to politicians. Favourability of state institutions or other organisations, such as the Ministry of Health, the GMOA or the armed forces, has remained positive and largely unaffected. These low levels of favourability of politicians may matter, since the willingness of the public to acquiesce in painful, but necessary, actions may depend on how they feel about the political leaders calling on them to make sacrifices.
President Rajapaksa’s favourability hit most
From August 2021 to early 2022, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s net favourability rating remained positive, although the lifting of the August–September 2021 lockdown resulted in his favourability declining from +50 levels to the low tens by January 2022. This can be contrasted with Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa, whose net favourability was often negative throughout this period, largely because of high levels of unpopularity amongst better-off Sri Lankans.[1] The President also maintained a higher favourability rating than Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, many other ministers, and other opposition leaders, although lower than a few ministers, notably Dr. Fernandopulle.
This all changed in the last two months. The President’s favourability ratings have cratered. His net favourability fell from +20 during February to below -80 during the first three weeks of April, meaning that for every member of the public who has a favourable opinion about him, there are now nine others who say they have an unfavourable opinion. This decline in favourability has been faster and more extensive than most other politicians. Consequently, during March-April,[2] the President’s favourability rating (-40) fell below those of both Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa (-33) and Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa (-26).
President’s favourability declined most among the poor, women, urban and Sinhala adults
Analysis of our data[3] indicates that the most significant declines in the President’s favourability have been amongst the poor, women, urban and Sinhala adults. Amongst the poorest one third of Sri Lankans, the President now has very negative favourability ratings (-63), unlike Sajith Premadasa whose ratings are only modestly negative (-6). In the case of women, the President has lost the edge in favourability that he has long enjoyed over Sajith Premadasa. Women view both unfavourably now, but the President (-42) more than the Opposition Leader (-27). The only segment of the population where the President has managed to retain his previous levels of favourability was the Southern Province, but elsewhere his favourability fell. Interestingly, his colleague, Dr Fernandopulle, former state health minister, not only managed to retain more of her favourability, but our data also indicates a significant gain in favourability amongst government employees. In contrast, Sajith Premadasa’s more modest decline in favourability was more dispersed, although he also suffered a further loss in favourability amongst women, albeit less than the President.
Lack of trust in politicians makes current challenges harder to solve
The current economic crisis that the country is in will require adjustments that are difficult and painful in the short-term. Taxes need to go up and prices will increase for most things. Living standards will fall for most Sri Lankans in the short-term, whatever we do. How the burden of these painful adjustments will be distributed between poor and rich, how these sacrifices are communicated and justified to the public, how social cohesion is maintained, and social unrest is prevented will require effective and determined national leadership to make the correct choices, to communicate clearly to the public, and to build a minimum social consensus. That is the need of the hour, but the evidence of widespread disillusionment with all politicians makes the challenge even greater.
The public dislike of almost all politicians implies that no single political party today will enjoy the public’s confidence in resolving the crisis. It points to the need for fresh thinking by the political establishment on how to formulate and communicate a package of measures that will have consent from different parts of society, and how to provide the leadership needed to sustain the painful measures that are undoubtedly needed over the coming months and years.
How IHP tracks favourability
IHP’s Sri Lanka Opinion Tracker Survey (SLOTS) is a telephone survey that interviews nationally representative samples of the public every day, asking questions about their health, their experience of everyday life, and their opinions about a range of issues such as COVID-19 policy. SLOTS also tracks favourability, by asking respondents if they have a favourable or unfavourable opinion of a public figure or institution: net favourability being the average of the positive and negative responses. The question that SLOTS uses is a standard one used in similar surveys around the world. Scores range from +100 (everyone has a favourable view) to -100 (everyone has an unfavourable view). This is more an indicator of general sentiment about politicians than how people will vote, something that SLOTS tracks separately. For example, United States President Bill Clinton’s favourability ratings slid in his second term following personal scandals and impeachment, but his political support and job approval were lifted by a booming economy.
In our context, where public opinion polls are rare, asking this question plus questions about voting is challenging as many people refuse to answer, and particularly those who support the opposition. To control for this, we adjust our data not only to make the responses representative of the overall population in relation to characteristics such as gender, age, income level, ethnicity, and province, but also to match how people voted in the 2019 Presidential Election.
Notes
[1] Better-off here refers to the one third most affluent Sri Lankans. During the period from September 2021 to February 2022, Sajith Premadasa’s net favourability averaged +18 in the poorest one third, -5 in the middle third, and -44 in the most affluent third of the population, compared with +21, +29 and -1 respectively for President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

Cam Ward named vice chair of The Council of State Governments Justice Center Advisory Board
Published 7:26 pm Tuesday, April 26, 2022
FROM STAFF REPORTS
NEW YORK, NY – The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center welcomed Cam Ward, director of the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles and current Advisory Board member, as the organization’s new Advisory Board vice chair on Tuesday, April 26
In this role, Ward will leverage his extensive leadership, policy and system oversight experience to help guide the CSG Justice Center’s efforts to develop research-driven strategies to increase public safety and strengthen communities.
As director of the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles, Ward serves under the leadership of Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey.
“Having served as a member of the CSG Justice Center Advisory Board for seven years, I could not be more thrilled to continue working with this driven, passionate group of criminal justice leaders,” Ward said. “In my new capacity as vice chair, I look forward to helping to guide and shape a dynamic vision for the future of public safety across the country.”
The CSG Justice Center is a national, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that combines the power of a membership association, representing state officials in all three branches of government, with policy and research expertise to use data to improve safety and justice, as well as advance health, opportunity and equity.
Prior to Ward’s appointment, Commissioner Marie Williams—recently appointed as chair—served as the Advisory Board vice chair.
“I can think of no better person to lead the CSG Justice Center Advisory Board in partnership with than Director Ward,” Williams said. “His extensive experience and leadership in the field will prove invaluable as we explore innovative and collaborative ways to support communities and states in their efforts to strengthen their justice systems. I’m deeply proud of the responsible criminal justice reforms we have championed to date and look forward to the work ahead.”
In 2002, Ward was elected to the Alabama House of Representatives where he served for two terms. From 2011-2020, Ward served in the Alabama Senate, where he chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee for nine years.
Ward is a member of the Alabama State Bar, where he served on numerous committees over the years. He also served as president of the Alabama Law Institute.
In 2014, he was appointed by Gov. Robert Bentley to serve as the chair of Alabama’s Prison Reform Task Force, a group of state policymakers and practitioners that guided Alabama’s Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI).
In 2015, Ward was recognized nationally for his leadership on Alabama’s JRI work. In 2017, Ward took on a role with the national Prison Fellowship and their Faith and Justice Fellowship. He was appointed as chair of the Commission on Reentry by Ivey in 2021.
“I am immensely grateful that Director Ward has stepped into the CSG Justice Center’s Advisory Board vice chair role,” said Megan Quattlebaum, director of the CSG Justice Center. “Director Ward has demonstrated his unparalleled commitment to ensuring that the criminal justice system is fair and effective throughout his career—from his leadership on Alabama’s Senate Judiciary Committee to his tireless work on the state’s Justice Reinvestment Initiative and his current role as chair director of Alabama’s Bureau of Pardons and Paroles and chair of the state’s Commission on Reentry. He brings to the role of vice chair exceptional expertise, vision, and dedication to building stronger and safer communities and supporting second chances.”
In addition to his criminal justice work, Ward has volunteered countless hours on various community boards of directors, some of which have included the Glenwood Autism Center, the YMCA of Alabaster and Leadership Shelby County.
In late 2017, Ward was named one of Autism Speaks National Legislators of the Year for his work on securing insurance coverage for those on the autism spectrum. | https://www.shelbycountyreporter.com/2022/04/26/cam-ward-named-vice-chair-of-the-council-of-state-governments-justice-center-advisory-board/ | 2022-04-27T04:03:42Z | https://www.shelbycountyreporter.com/2022/04/26/cam-ward-named-vice-chair-of-the-council-of-state-governments-justice-center-advisory-board/ | true | 1 |

Biden commutes Jamestown woman's sentence
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Joe Biden46th and current president of the United States
Apr. 26—JAMESTOWN — A Jamestown woman who was convicted for possessing and distributing methamphetamine in 2014 was one of 75 individuals whose sentences were commuted by President Joe Biden on Tuesday.
The sentence for Kathy Marie Albrecht, 47, is set to expire on April 26, 2023. She can serve the remainder of her sentence in home confinement, but will still be on three years supervised release, according to a White House news release.
Albrecht said Tuesday afternoon that she is still in shock and doesn't know too much about the details of her sentence being commuted.
Albrecht was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distributing a controlled substance in 2014 in U.S. District Court in North Dakota. She was sentenced to 12 1/2 years in prison and placed on three years supervised release.
Albrecht was accused of conspiring with other individuals to possess with intent and distributing more than 500 grams of methamphetamine from September 2012 to April 2014, according to court documents.
Albrecht said she was notified about her sentence being commuted Tuesday morning.
She said she will continue to stay out of trouble, be with family, be a grandmother, work and not talk to anybody she used to. | https://news.yahoo.com/biden-commutes-jamestown-womans-sentence-034800050.html | 2022-04-27T04:12:15Z | https://news.yahoo.com/biden-commutes-jamestown-womans-sentence-034800050.html | false | 1 |
UK freeze: Britain to feel COLDEST May in 25 years as mercury plunges to -3C
BRITAIN is set to feel the coldest May in 25 years according to weather experts as the mercury plummets following a hot end to April.
UK weather: Temperatures dipping down close to freezing
Weather experts said that the temperatures are likely to plummet to -3C after the UK experienced a balmy weekend. Talking to the Mirror, former BBC and Met Office meteorologist John Hammond says the UK's weather “will go into reverse” this week.
He said: “The mercury will go into reverse, with a cooler trend to end April.
Fresh waves of Arctic air mean a good chance, even across southern Britain, of temperatures falling close to or below freezing."
Mr Hammond added: “One or two wintry showers are not ruled out later in the week, most likely on higher ground in the North.”
The sub-zero drop will mean the UK is even colder than Stockholm's 3C nights, with the freezing forecast set to last seven days into the May Bank Holiday weekend.
Consultant meteorologist Matt Hugo said: “Will it be the coldest start to May in quite some time? Northerly weather into early May is gaining traction.”
Some may manage to escape the icy blasts however, with London forecast to enjoy a few days at 17C.
Elsewhere, a north-easterly wind-chill will mean highs of 11-16C will feel more like 9-14C.
The Met Office said it is likely to be “chilly” overnight in the run-up to May, with rural frost setting in some areas.

But while temperatures could drop below freezing during the night to as low as -3C, the daytime is forecast to bring mainly dry weather with sunny spells.
According to the department, throughout the start of May, much of the south is likely to see continuing dry and sunny spells.
The Met Office stated: “Parts of the north and west are more likely to experience cloudier conditions, with spells of mainly light rain or showers at times.
“Winds are expected to remain light and temperatures staying above average for most, but parts of the southeast may experience colder mornings and some late season frost.

“Moving through the period, the weather is likely to become more unsettled in northern and perhaps some central areas, bringing spells of rain and potentially some cooler air at times, whereas it's probable southern areas will remain more settled throughout.

Hazleton man sentenced in online child sex sting
Apr. 27—WILKES-BARRE — A Hazleton man was sentenced in Luzerne County Court on Tuesday to soliciting sex from someone whom he believed to be a 15-year-old girl.
President Judge Michael T. Vough sentenced Oliverio Cortes-Perez, 35, to one-to-two years at the county correctional facility on two counts of unlawful contact with a minor and three years probation on a criminal use of communication facility charge. Cortes-Perez pled guilty to the charges Dec. 7.
Kingston police arrested Cortes-Perez in June 2021, after he solicited sex from the girl, who actually was an undercover detective.
According to the criminal complaint:
Cortes-Perez initiated communications with the girl on March 25, 2021, claiming he was 27. Despite being told he was conversing with a 15-year-old, Cortes-Perez continued to communicate with her, saying she was "very cute," asking if she had a boyfriend, and requesting pictures from her because he was looking for a girlfriend.
Police in the complaint say Cortes-Perez told the girl he was staying at a hotel, instructed her to meet him and wear a thong because, "It excites me a lot."
As communications continued, Cortes-Perez told the girl, "I don't want to lose you," and wanted her to wear "sexy lingerie" when he discussed meeting the girl at the Wyoming Valley Mall.
Police arrested Cortez-Perez when he showed up, believing he was meeting the girl.
Cortez-Perez is subject to 25 years of registering his address under the state's Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act. | https://news.yahoo.com/hazleton-man-sentenced-online-child-040100592.html | 2022-04-27T04:13:14Z | https://news.yahoo.com/hazleton-man-sentenced-online-child-040100592.html | true | 2 |
Axuall's Real-Time Provider Data Network Enhances Workforce Deployment for LocumTenens.com
Partnership to provide a one-stop solution to streamline credentialing and increase onboarding efficiency
CLEVELAND, April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Axuall, a workforce intelligence company powered by a national real-time provider data network, today announced a strategic partnership with LocumTenens.com, a full-service locum tenens agency and operator of the industry's largest and most-visited job board. Through this partnership and with the use of Axuall's network, LocumTenens.com will enhance credentialing efficiencies, reduce placement and onboarding delays, combat provider burnout, meet patient demand, and help achieve financial objectives for its customers, healthcare systems and candidates.
Because credentialing requirements vary from state to state, healthcare staffing firms face the challenge of meeting stringent vetting and credentialing standards for themselves and the customers they serve. Recruiting, matching, and placing providers into roles – particularly those who work temporary or flexible schedules – has become increasingly time-consuming. Fortunately, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and connected verification networks, like Axuall, provide a competitive advantage for staffing firms seeking to remove friction, cost, and inefficiency in the process.
"Expansive, complex, and geographically diverse organizations, like LocumTenens.com, face significant challenges in optimizing their workforces, and access to real-time information regarding their clinicians' credentials is critical," said Charlie Lougheed, CEO and co-founder of Axuall. "We developed our network with leading healthcare systems and staffing firms in mind, not only to accelerate their deployment into care settings, but also to maintain workforce readiness and elasticity."
During a recent pilot phase, LocumTenens.com reported that its clinicians completed their portion of the credentialing process faster than the traditional process and overall were very satisfied with the experience. Based on that data, the company plans to integrate all credentialed clinicians to the Axuall platform by the end of 2022 with a goal of ensuring a seamless experience for both its new and returning clinicians.
"Clinicians are the lifeblood of the organizations we work with each day, and for those who work in multiple locations, on short-term or hybrid assignments, credentialing can slow the time it takes to get from onboarding to bedside," said Susanne Hodges, senior vice president of information services at LocumTenens.com. "Leveraging the Axuall solution, we anticipate significantly reducing the time required to credential, thus improving patient access to care by simplifying staffing for our clients."
Axuall continues to grow its network of providers and data partners, building on the success of commercial deployments with leading healthcare systems and staffing agencies.

South Ribble’s waste disposal workers are in line for a pay rise after councillors approved the biggest change in decades to the way the bin collection service is run in the district.
For the first time in 30 years, South Ribble Borough Council will take direct control of the operation after the authority opted not to renew its contract with the private firm that currently collects residents’ rubbish, recycling and garden waste.
Labour council leader Paul Foster said that the move to end the outsourcing deal will mean the service’s 54 staff are soon paid the real living wage – presently £9.90 an hour – like all of the local authority’s own employees. A meeting of the full council heard that some of the waste collection operatives currently receive the minimum wage – which is £8.36 an hour for the under-23s and £9.50 for everyone else – and also receive the minimum in pension contributions.

Unions warned that some of the staff within the service – which last year faced a driver shortage – were poised to quit if they did not get better terms. Conservative opposition councillors said that the answer to that problem was for the council to stipulate the wage it wanted outsourced bin collectors and bin lorry drivers to be paid – not to take on a duty which it no longer has any experience of discharging.
However, Cllr Foster said that he had “never understood” the waste contract – which for the last seven years has been in the hands of Northampton-based FCC Environment – because the council still owns the collection vehicles and the depot where they are stored and maintained, but does not employ the staff delivering the service on the doorstep.
“The waste collection team do a brilliant job for this borough and I recall through the pandemic, they never missed one bin…and I never heard one complaint. They do an exceptionally important job…[and] some of them are paid the minimum wage. When people do a hard day’s work, they deserve the rewards that go with it.
“The private sector…is always driven by one thing – profit. This isn’t about profit, this is about doing the right thing [for] the people we ask to work for us,” said Cllr Foster, who added that FCC should nevertheless be “commended” for the service it had provided.
However, Conservative former council leader Margaret Smith expressed doubts about taking the service back in-house, telling members that someone had recently warned her that the council would “mess with the bin collections at [its] peril”. She added that the waste staff were “highly valued by the community” – and that FCC had only taken advantage ten times in seven years of a clause in its contract allowing the firm to miss 25 bins out of 100,000 collections per month.
Fellow Tory councillor Michael Green said that there was an argument for adopting the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” principle – and instead simply to make payment of the real living wage a condition of renewing the contract with FCC. The service is excellent, they’ve got a tremendous record…why do we want to take the risk? FCC have got significant experience and expertise in the waste services industry – we simply don’t have that experience at South Ribble Borough Council.”
But Cllr Foster said that the existing staff would be bringing their knowledge and expertise with them – and so it would be “retained” in the district. LancsLive understands that there are no changes planned to collection days and that the intention is for residents to notice no difference to the current service.
A report presented to councillors revealed that the current value of the waste collection contract with FCC is £1.8m per year. The overall South Ribble waste budget for 2022/23 is £2.1m, which is a £293,000 increase over the previous year, to factor in rising inflation and fuel prices. Members were told that by choosing to insource the bins service the council would save £178,000 in the current financial year, after the cost of seeking “specialist advice” to support the changes had been factored in.
Cabinet member for finance Matthew Tomlinson said that taking direct control of the operation made sense, because even under the current arrangements, the buck ultimately stopped with the borough authority if bin collections came under threat.
“When this contract started to go wrong because of the fuel [price] increases, it didn’t come out of the contract – we had to find the money. When the HGV driver shortage happened 12 months or so ago, it wasn’t FCC who had to go and find drivers, they came to us and said, ‘We’re not going to collect your brown bins next week, because we can’t get the drivers’ – and then we had to sort it out.
“If we hadn’t collected [the] brown bins, our residents wouldn’t have been saying, ‘Aren’t FCC terrible’…they’d have been blaming us…this council,” said Cllr Tomlinson, who added that the bin collectors had been “heroes with smiles on their faces” throughout the pandemic, waving to children through windows during lockdown.
Labour councillor Chris Lomax said that had he known the waste staff were on the minimum wage, he would have told his daughter – who left chocolates for them at the height of the Covid crisis – to include “a note [about] how to contact a food bank”. Meanwhile, cabinet member for health and wellbeing Mick Titherington said that by paying “a proper wage…you will get a stronger and more efficient workforce”.
Unison representative Dale Ollier said that staff would welcome the benefits that come with membership of the local government pension scheme, over and above any increase in employer contributions, which Cllr Foster had suggested would be around 12.5 percent under the new set-up.
Mr. Ollier said that many of the workers he represents within the brough’s waste collection service had “explicitly” said that the decision of the council over whether to employ them directly would influence their own decision about whether to stay on or quit, as they considered their place within a competitive labour market.
The council voted by a majority to insource the operation, rejecting the alternative option of renewing the FCC contract for seven years with a break clause after three. The company had presented its “best and final offer” for continuing to provide the service, having previously submitted a revised pricing proposal in December last year which councillors were told reflected “significant annual cost increases”.
From 11th June, the council will be in direct charge of collections of: household waste and recycling, garden waste, commercial waste, bulky waste and clinical waste.
FCC will continue to deliver the waste collection service in neighbouring Chorley, where its contract with that authority still has several years left to run. FCC was approached for comment about South Ribble Borough Council’s decision.
‘WHERE ARE ALL THE WOMEN’?
A Liberal Democrat councillor said that the move to take full control of the waste collection in South Ribble – which was backed by her group under its confidence and supply deal with the Labour administration – should be seen as an opportunity to diversify the workforce.
Angela Turner said: “I would like the cabinet member to take the opportunity to look at the recruitment of staff in the waste disposal services, because I…personally, have never seen any female operatives.” | https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/bins-workers-across-leyland-penwortham-23786476 | 2022-04-27T04:31:53Z | https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/bins-workers-across-leyland-penwortham-23786476 | true | 2 |
An anonymous Tory MP who spoke to an English newspaper about Angela Rayner was “inappropriate” but did not break Commons rules, the leader of the house said yesterday.
Then change the rules.
The sexism, the classism, the utter disregard for any semblance of decency from the “source” of this story to the journalist and newspaper which printed it, is an affront to politics and the media.
The tawdry newspaper article claimed Tories “insiders” had accused Rayner of a “Basic Instinct ploy” to put the PM “off his stride” by crossing and uncrossing her legs at PMQs.
Not one woman who has ever worked in politics or in the media is in the least surprised.
According to the article, when the PM is at the dispatch box Rayner deploys “a fully clothed Parliamentary equivalent of Sharon Stone’s infamous scene in the 1992 film Basic Instinct”.
Translated: “Fully dressed woman shifts in her seat”.
One Tory MP told the paper: “She knows she can’t compete with Boris’s Oxford Union debating training, but she has other skills which he lacks.”
We witnessed the verbal dexterity Oxford has afforded Johnson in his Peppa Pig speech to the nation’s captains of industry.
His impersonation of a car, “arum arum aaaaaaaaag” is his most honest and coherent representation to date.
In fact, the Labour Deputy Leader regularly skewers Johnson at PMQs like he’s a flailing haddock.
The privileged Tory crowd resent seeing one of their chaps being trounced by a woman they deem to be from a “below stairs” background.
This article was the equivalent of putting Rayner in the public stocks for her audacity.
And the faux outrage of Johnson has been sickening, a man who said: “Voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts”.
A Benny Hill characterture who has referred to women as “fillies”, “chicks”, “waggling their rumps”.
But you have to hand it to Johnson and his cronies, this poisonous attack has been another masterful execution of the tactics of distraction.
Just to drive home the impudence of Rayner, the paper highlighted she is “a socialist grandmother who left school at 16 while pregnant and with no qualifications before becoming a care worker”. An unmarried mother at 16. Dear God, where are the Magdalene Sisters when you need them?
That she was a care worker, would in any other sphere but the hallowed halls of Parliament and the London media draw admiration.
In fact she did night shifts in a care home when her eldest son was a baby, and she also trained as a Samaritan while Johnson and his ilk were restaurant-trashing and “pleb”-taunting with the Bullingdon Club.
They see Rayner as having ideas above her station and, unable to discredit her intellect or her aptitude, they target her gender, her looks and her class.
And in the newspaper they chose to air their rancour, they found a like-minded organisation.
The newspaper in question ironically had a long-running unofficial ban on its female journalists from wearing trousers. Heels were encouraged.
Its newsdesk was known to berate its state-educated journalists as having “come from nowhere”, hence it was a privilege they were in its employ.
And the idea floated that the political editor was in any way coerced into writing this story is nonsense, as any journalist who didn’t want to write it, would have kept it to himself.
There is as virulent a strain of misogyny prevalent in the media as there is in politics.
Rayner has come out fighting and yesterday in her interview with Lorraine Kelly, condemned the article as not only as “sexist” but “classist”.
But Rayner also admitted she had deliberately worn trousers because she didn’t want to be judged. In truth no matter how bullish she appears, Rayner will forever more be self-conscious about what she wears and how it will be perceived.
This grubby affair is sadly a win for the men who perpetrated it and women in politics and the media will feel only further depressed and demeaned by it.
Free speech is not safe in Musk's hands
Twitter should be a platform for open discussion, but is too often the space where rational debate goes to die.
And it is about to become even more of a wild west of social media now it has been bought as the plaything of Elon Musk. The CEO of Tesla Motors is a self-described “free speech absolutist”, which will manifest as open season for hate speech.
As Twitter allows more conspiracy theorists, racists, sexists, homophobes and holocaust deniers and all round hate-baiters to spout their bile, reasoned voices will be increasingly silenced.
Prepare for alt-right harbingers of poison from Trump to Tommy Robinson to be legitimised as purveyors of “truth”.
Twitter needs more regulation, not less.
Musk is so rich that he says he doesn’t even care about Twitter’s profits, which means he is only interested in the power it wields.
And let’s remember, that is the power to interfere in elections, to demonise immigrants and strike a match to a tinderbox of bigotry.
Handing Musk Twitter is like giving a three year-old a gun as a toy. | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/tory-rags-basic-instincts-still-26806427 | 2022-04-27T04:34:47Z | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/tory-rags-basic-instincts-still-26806427 | false | 1 |
Royals rout White Sox to end four-game skid
Carlos Santana's two-run single keyed a four-run sixth inning as the Kansas City Royals snapped a four-game losing streak with a 6-0 victory over the White Sox on a cold, blustery night in Chicago.
Game-time temperature was 50 degrees, but it dropped quickly, along with gusty winds that made it feel much colder.
The White Sox suffered their eighth straight loss as Chicago pitchers walked 11 Royals. The last time the Royals' offense received 11 walks was in 2011.
Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi left the game in the sixth inning with left knee discomfort after a pick-off attempt.
Daniel Lynch (2-1) allowed two hits in six innings for the win. He tied a career high with seven strikeouts. He has thrown 11 straight scoreless innings in his last two starts.
Chicago starter Dallas Keuchel (1-2) gave up two unearned runs on two hits in four-plus innings. Five walks, the most he has ever had against the Royals and one off his career high, did him in. He came out after throwing 88 pitches.
Neither offense could get going in the first three innings. Lynch allowed a bloop single off the handle to Jose Abreu, plus a walk and a hit batter. Keuchel allowed just a pair of walks.
The Royals put a pair of runs on the board in the fourth without a hard-hit ball. Salvador Perez reached on an error by Abreu at first, leading off the inning. It was Chicago's major-league-leading 19th error of the season.
Santana followed with a walk. Both runners moved up on a slow roller by Hunter Dozier. Bobby Witt Jr. then dribbled a single up the third-base line, scoring Perez. Mondesi then drove in Santana with a groundout.
With two outs, Keuchel walked Michael A. Taylor and Nicky Lopez to load the bases for Merrifield, who struck out.
Taylor's sacrifice fly in the sixth drove in the Royals' third run and Andrew Benintendi flied into a fielder's choice for the fourth run before Santana broke it open.

Southern Pines could add a second electric vehicle charging station to its arsenal.
Chris Hopfensperger, who founded Go Pines LLC with his wife and daughter, presented his proposal for an EV charging station in downtown Southern Pines at Monday’s town council meeting. The town, he said, is in need of more publicly-accessible charging stations, especially as EVs become an increasingly popular option for car owners.
Currently, there is one publicly-accessible car charging station in Southern Pines, located at the public library. The station, which was put in place as part of a Duke Energy Progress pilot project in the early 2010s, has space for three cars and is free to the public.
Ideally, Hopfensperger said the Go Pines station would ideally be able to charge between two and six cars. It would be located somewhere in downtown Southern Pines, though not on Broad Street. Customers would pay per kilowatt to have their cars charged on Level 2 EV chargers. Hopfensperger intends for the chargers to be accessible to all EVs, not just Teslas.
In terms of funding, the project would be a public-private partnership, where Southern Pines supplies the land and Go Pines pays for the station. Hopfensperger said he would be open to a profit-sharing agreement or renting the charging space from the town.
This is a developing story. | https://www.thepilot.com/news/ev-charging-station-proposed-in-southern-pines/article_f4cae5a6-c5b4-11ec-9f99-bf91a2743351.html | 2022-04-27T04:38:58Z | https://www.thepilot.com/news/ev-charging-station-proposed-in-southern-pines/article_f4cae5a6-c5b4-11ec-9f99-bf91a2743351.html | true | 1 |

Global markets bounced back after a sharp decline in the previous session on the back of good earnings posted by few companies.
The market is likely to remain volatile in the broader trading range with the absence of follow up on either side. Nifty needs to hold above 17,000 levels for an up move towards 17,350-17,500 zones.

D.H. Conley found itself trailing 5-4 with runners at first and second and nobody out in the top of the seventh inning against J.H. Rose in a Big Carolina 3A/4A Conference baseball game at Guy Smith Stadium Tuesday night.
Senior Spencer Bradley stepped to the plate, as he looked to use a sacrifice bunt to move both the tying and go-ahead runs into scoring position, but he was unable to lay down the bunt.
Instead, Bradley blasted a two-strike pitch off the scoreboard in left for a go-ahead three-run home run to lift the Vikings to a 7-5 victory and finish off a series sweep of their crosstown foes.
“First, he gives me the bunt signal and the idea was to move the runners over, but I tried twice and failed, so then he throws me a curveball down the middle and I punished him for it,” Bradley said.
D.H. Conley head coach Jason Mills said Bradley has been a huge factor at the plate as of late for the team, which has now won six in a row.
“Spencer Bradley has been on fire here lately for us,” Mills said. “He didn’t get the bunt down, but that’s the great thing about Spencer, he doesn’t get frustrated or flustered, he just does his job.”
Reliever Matthew Matthijs then worked a 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the seventh, finishing things off with a strikeout to close out the win.
Matthijs retired the final nine batters he faced to give Conley (17-3, 8-1) a chance in the late innings after it was unable to hold onto a 4-0 lead.
He helped his own cause by reaching on a hit-by-pitch to lead off the seventh, and he was replaced by courtesy runner Kalif Dowell before Bryce Jackson was awarded first base on catcher’s interference.
Bradley then looked to move both Dowell and Jackson up a base before eventually clearing the bases with his three-run shot which proved to be a game-winner.
The Vikings took an early lead in the first inning despite Rose (14-4, 7-2) starter Andrew Wallen striking out three in the frame.
Riley Williams drove a one-out triple to left before Jackson reached on catcher’s interference and stole second to put two in scoring position with two away.
An infield single to the left side by Bradley brought home Williams, as Bradley then stole second as the throw sailed into center field, allowing Jackson to score the second run of the inning.
The score remained 2-0 into the third before Williams delivered his second extra-base hit of the game, leading off with a double off the center field fence.
Bradley later came through with his second of three big hits on the night, driving a single through the right side to plate Williams and stretch the lead to three as he finished the game 3-for-3 with a walk, four RBIs and a run scored.
In the fourth, Luke Lambert singled to left to start the inning before Conner Edwards reached on a fielder’s choice, as a throwing error allowed Lambert to reach second safely.
Chris Gibson followed by singling through the left side to load the bases for Dixon Williams, who was hit by a pitch to push across Lambert.
Rose relief pitcher Grayson Myrick responded with a strikeout before forcing a fly out to left to limit the damage as the Rampants’ got to work at the plate down four.
Cam Greenway and Will Jenkins both recorded first-pitch hits to start the inning on a double and single respectively to put runners at the corners with nobody out.
A groundout to short off the bat of Ives Howard scored Greenway for the hosts’ first run of the night.
The Rampants then loaded the bases when Jayden Grimes was hit by a pitch, as Perry Eveleth delivered an RBI single to right-center to bring in Howard and AJ Briley took over as a courtesy runner at first.
Myrick worked a walk to load the bases for Cole Watkins, who delivered a game-tying single through the left side, bringing in Grimes and Briley.
Greenway later drew a full-count, bases-loaded walk to score Keller Fraley, who entered as a courtesy runner for Myrick, for the go-ahead run.
“Rose is a staple of how teams can measure themselves in this state,” Mills said. “So to get two wins is huge for us. They’ve got a great team and they’re going to make a big run in the playoffs again.
“Obviously, after losing to them last year in the eastern finals, that’s been hurting for about a year. This does not settle for that at all, but we’re excited to be back in first place in the league.”

China reports 1,818 new local COVID-19 cases, 48 deaths
The Chinese mainland reported 1,818 new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases and 48 deaths in the past 24 hours, said the National Health Commission on Wednesday.

- China
The Chinese mainland reported 1,818 new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases and 48 deaths in the past 24 hours, said the National Health Commission on Wednesday. Of the new local cases, 1,606 were reported in Shanghai, while the rest of the cases were reported in 16 other provincial-level regions on the mainland, including 56 in Jiangxi, 51 in Jilin, and 31 in Beijing, Xinhua reported citing the commission.
The country also reported 12,404 locally transmitted asymptomatic infections of the novel coronavirus in the past 24 hours, of which 11,956 local asymptomatic carriers were identified in Shanghai. While 3,728 COVID-19 patients recovered in the past 24 hours, as many as 26,774 people are undergoing treatment in hospitals across the country.
With 48 COVID-19 fatalities, all in Shanghai, reported in the past 24 hours, the country's death toll mounted to 4,876, Xinhua reported. Meanwhile, as the COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread in more and more cities in China, questions are mounting over the country's zero covid policy.
The country's much-publicized "zero-covid" strategy that the government credited for bringing the country out of the pandemic till recently is falling apart as the rapidly mounting cases are again forcing mass lockdowns like those seen in 2020. Moreover, China's financial hub, Shanghai, has been facing the worst COVID-19 outbreak and has been desperately seeking medical care and basic supplies like food. (ANI)

World leaders, DC elite to pay tribute to Madeleine Albright
BY MATTHEW LEE
AP Diplomatic Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — World leaders and a bevy of Washington’s political and foreign policy elite are preparing to pay their respects to the late Madeleine Albright. Albright was America’s first female secretary of state. Some 1,400 mourners will gather Wednesday morning at Washington National Cathedral, led by President Joe Biden and predecessors Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Albright died of cancer last month at age 84. She rose through the ranks of Democratic Party foreign policy circles to become ambassador to the United Nations. Clinton selected her as secretary of state in 1996. | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/04/26/world-leaders-dc-elite-to-pay-tribute-to-madeleine-albright/ | 2022-04-27T05:10:17Z | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/04/26/world-leaders-dc-elite-to-pay-tribute-to-madeleine-albright/ | false | null |

Siri went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Tuesday against the Rangers.
Siri earned his second start hitting atop the Astros' order this season, though he didn't take advantage of the opportunity. Positively, he did not come to the plate with any runners in scoring position, so he didn't waste any standout chance to produce. Even so, Siri is starting to lose playing time to Chas McCormick in center field -- both were in the lineup Tuesday -- and he'll need to improve upon his .194/.265/.323 line to regain a more regular role. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/astros-jose-siri-gets-another-look-in-leadoff-spot/ | 2022-04-27T05:14:03Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/astros-jose-siri-gets-another-look-in-leadoff-spot/ | false | null |

Opinion
What’s the point of the Save Women’s Sport bill?
By Katharine Kilroy and Alana Hudson
Australia is often described as a sporting nation. Australians’ passion for sport is a key part of our national identity and access to sport is a United Nations recognised human right. However, in recent years, there has been a growing debate around inclusion of trans and gender diverse people in girls’ and women’s sport.
In February 2022, Claire Chandler, Senator for Tasmania, introduced the Sex Discrimination and Other Legislation Amendment (Save Women’s Sport) Bill 2022.
The bill seeks to amend the Australian Sports Commission Act 1989 and the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 in order to:
- require the Australian Sports Commission to promote the participation of women in sport;
- insert definitions of “man” and “woman” into the Sex Discrimination Act; and
- amend the Sex Discrimination Act to specifically provide that it is not unlawful to exclude persons of one sex from participation in any sporting activity intended for persons of a different sex.
In addition, the Save Women’s Sport Bill proposes to include a note in the Sex Discrimination Act that sex, for the purposes of the Act, would (without limiting its ordinary meaning) mean “the chromosomal, gonadal and anatomical characteristics associated with biological sex”.
Senator Chandler says single-sex sport for women and girls is “a fundamental good for our society” and has expressed the view that current discrimination laws “threaten sports clubs and associations with legal action for offering single-sex sporting events and competition exclusively for females”.
In recent years, female athletes and their competitions have established a position of prominence beyond any previously enjoyed. Women’s sport is attracting fans, TV airtime, sponsorship and recognition like never before. However, inherent in this is the concept of women’s sport as a separate entity. Since the introduction of regulated female competition in sport, there has been a focus on about “protecting” female athletes and their competitions.
Children manifest similar athletic ability prior to puberty, which is why sports at junior levels tend to be mixed. However post puberty, due to men’s much higher levels of circulating testosterone and the consequent impact that has on sporting performance, male athletes outperform female athletes at an elite level in some sports. These differences are said to be insurmountable.
This outperformance and perception that male athletes have an advantage has translated into a sense that males must be kept out of female competition. Indeed, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has said that the split between the male and female classifications in sport is expressly designed to protect individuals from having to compete against others who, by virtue of their body’s development post-puberty, possess certain physical traits that means fair competition between the two groups is not possible.
Concerns are held by some groups that transgender female competitors will have an unfair advantage if they choose to compete against cisgender female competitors in sporting events.*
This is due to the hormonal influence of puberty, the testosterone influence on muscle strength during puberty and the uncertainty that surrounds the effects of female hormone treatment on transgendered persons. This has driven the push to “protect” the female sporting category from unfair competition.
Discrimination legislation in Australia already permits the exclusion of a particular sex from participating in competitive sport in which a disparity in “strength, stamina or physique” is a factor. Commonwealth, ACT, South Australian and Western Australian legislation all currently use a formula to ascertain exclusion based upon the “relevance” of the strength, stamina and physique of competitors in a particular sporting activity.
In Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory, a “reasonableness” test is applied. For example, in Victoria, exclusion is permitted where it is intended to facilitate participation in a sporting activity by people of a particular sex, and is reasonable having regard to the nature and purpose of the activity, the consequences of the exclusion and whether there are other opportunities for people of the excluded or restricted sex to participate in the activity.
NSW and Tasmanian legislation contain broader exceptions which allow competitors of one sex or transgender people to be excluded in any circumstance. Generally the exclusions apply only to persons over the age of 12.
The Save Women’s Sport Bill escalates the right to exclude persons on the basis of sex. Rather than being limited to where the “strength, stamina or physique” of the participant is relevant, the bill proposes to repeal the relevant section and replace it with the following: “Nothing … renders it unlawful to exclude persons of one sex from participation in any sporting activity intended for persons of a different sex.”
Together with the insertion of definitions of “man” and “woman”, and the note specifying “sex” as meaning biological sex, this creates a blanket right for transgender persons to be excluded from sporting activities.
This runs contrary to the approach being taken by sporting organisations in Australia, with the AFL, Cricket Australia and Rugby Australia being some of the organisations to release policies said to be designed to promote the inclusion of transgender participants.
Further, there are no specific examples being raised in support of the Save Women’s Sport Bill, where the inclusion of transgender participants has caused unfair competition. No major sporting code or body has called for a change to the law and the bill appears to be a solution to a problem that no one is raising.
If the Save Women’s Sport Bill passes the Commonwealth Parliament, this would mean that the Commonwealth, through the amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act, would fall out of alignment with the states and territories on transgender inclusion in sport. This inconsistency, if tested, may result in the existing protections (being the limitation of potential exclusion to circumstances where “strength, stamina or physique” is relevant) under the various state and territory legislation being eroded and constitute a significant change to the rules applying to Australian sports participation, due to the blanket exemption, with no safety net or criteria to be applied.
*For the purpose of this article, the term “female transgender competitor” means a person who is assigned male sex at birth, but transitions to or identifies their gender as female. Cisgender people have a gender identity that corresponds with their birth sex. For example a person born biologically female who also identifies her gender as female. | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/what-s-the-point-of-the-save-women-s-sport-bill-20220427-p5aggl.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport | 2022-04-27T05:17:56Z | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/what-s-the-point-of-the-save-women-s-sport-bill-20220427-p5aggl.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport | true | 8 |
POKROVSK, Ukraine (AP) — The U.S. defense chief urged Ukraine's allies to “move at the speed of war” to get more and heavier weapons to Kyiv as Russian forces rained fire on eastern and southern Ukraine amid new fears that the fighting could spill over the country’s borders.
For the second day, explosions rocked the separatist region of Trans-Dniester Tuesday in neighboring Moldova, knocking out two powerful radio antennas. And a Russian missile hit a strategic railroad bridge linking Ukraine’s Odesa port region to neighboring Romania, a NATO member, Ukrainian authorities said.
Meanwhile, two other neighboring NATO members, Poland and Bulgaria, said the Kremlin is cutting off natural gas supplies starting Wednesday, the first such actions of the war. Poland has been a major gateway for the delivery of weapons to Ukraine and confirmed this week that it is sending the country tanks.
Poland said it was well-prepared after working for years to reduce its reliance on Russian energy. Poland also has ample natural gas in storage, and it will soon benefit from two pipelines coming online, analyst Emily McClain of Rystad Energy said.
Bulgaria gets over 90% of its gas from Russia, and officials said they were working to find other sources, such as from Azerbaijan.
Both countries had refused Russia’s demands that they pay in rubles, as have almost all of Russia's gas customers in Europe.
Two months into the fighting, Western arms have helped Ukraine stall Russia’s invasion, but the country's leaders have said they need more support fast.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin convened a meeting Tuesday of officials from about 40 countries at the U.S. air base at Ramstein, Germany, and said more help is on the way.
“We’ve got to move at the speed of war,” Austin said.
He said he wanted officials to leave the meeting “with a common and transparent understanding of Ukraine’s near-term security requirements because we’re going to keep moving heaven and earth so that we can meet them.”
After unexpectedly fierce resistance by Ukrainian forces thwarted Russia's attempt to take Ukraine's capital, Moscow now says its focus is the capture of the Donbas, the mostly Russian-speaking industrial area in eastern Ukraine.
In the town of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, people fleeing the shelling lined up Tuesday to board a train headed to the far west of the country. One person was lifted onto the train in a wheelchair, another on a stretcher.
The passengers took with them cats, dogs, a few bags and boxes, and the memory of those who did not flee in time.
“We were in the basement, but my daughter didn’t make it and was hit with shrapnel on the doorstep” during shelling on Monday, said Mykola Kharchenko, 74. “We had to bury her in the garden near the pear tree.”
He said his village, Vremivka, was under heavy fire for four days and all but destroyed. With tears in his eyes, Kharchenko said he somehow held himself together at home, but once he reached the train station he fell apart. In a flash of anger, he lashed out at Russia.
"Is this liberation? From whom am I, a Russian speaker, from whom am I being liberated? From whom? From my daughter? From everything I have built during my whole life?
In the gutted southern port city of Mariupol, authorities said Russian forces hit the Azovstal steel plant with 35 airstrikes over 24 hours. The plant is the last known stronghold of Ukrainian fighters in the city. About 1,000 civilians were said to be taking shelter there with an estimated 2,000 Ukrainian defenders.
Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to Mariupol's mayor, said Russia was using heavy bunker bombs. He also accused Russian forces of shelling a route they had offered as an escape corridor from the steel mill.
Pavlo Kyrylenko, governor of the Donetsk region of the Donbas, said on the Telegram messaging app that Russian forces “continue to deliberately fire at civilians and to destroy critical infrastructure.”
Ukraine also said Russian forces shelled Kharkiv, the country’s second-largest city, which lies in the northeast, outside the Donbas. But it is seen as key to Russia's apparent bid to encircle Ukrainian troops in the Donbas from the north, east and south.
Ukrainian forces struck back in the Kherson region in the south.
The attack Tuesday on the bridge near Odesa — along with a series of strikes on key railroad stations a day earlier — appeared to signal a major shift in Russia’s approach. Until now, Moscow has spared strategic bridges, perhaps in hopes of keeping them for its own use in seizing Ukraine. But now it seems to be trying to thwart Ukraine’s efforts to move troops and supplies.
No injuries were reported in the strike on the bridge, and Ukraine's military said repair work was underway.
The southern Ukraine coastline and Moldova have been on edge since a senior Russian military officer said last week that the Kremlin’s goal is to secure not just eastern Ukraine but the entire south, so as to open the way to Trans-Dniester, a long, narrow strip of land with about 470,000 people along the Ukrainian border where about 1,500 Russian troops are based.
It was not clear who was behind the blasts in Trans-Dniester, but the attacks gave rise to fears that Russia is stirring up trouble so as to create a pretext to either invade Trans-Dniester or use the region as another launching point to attack Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the explosions were carried out by Russia and were “designed to destabilize,” with the intention of showing Moldova what could happen if it supports Ukraine.
Austin, the U.S. defense secretary, said the U.S. was still looking into blasts and trying to determine what was going on, but added: "Certainly we don’t want to see any spillover” of the conflict.
With the potentially pivotal battle for the east underway, the U.S. and its NATO allies are scrambling to deliver artillery and other heavy weaponry in time to make a difference.
German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht said her government will supply Gepard self-propelled armored anti-aircraft guns to Ukraine. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has faced mounting pressure to send heavy weapons such as tanks and other armored vehicles.
Austin noted that more than 30 allies and partners have joined the U.S. in sending military aid to Ukraine and that more than $5 billion worth of equipment has been committed.
The U.S. defense secretary said the war has weakened Russia's military, adding, “We would like to make sure, again, that they don’t have the same type of capability to bully their neighbors that we saw at the outset of this conflict.”
A senior Kremlin official, Nikolai Patrushev, warned that “the policies of the West and the Kyiv regime controlled by it would only be the breakup of Ukraine into several states.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov cautioned that if the Western flow of weapons continues, the talks aimed at ending the fighting will not produce any results.

Woman pleads guilty in slaying
Likely to get 30 years for beating stepson, 9
JAMES D. WOLF JR. | The Journal Gazette
The Fort Wayne woman accused in the homicide of her 9-year-old stepson in December has pleaded guilty.
Alesha L. Miller, 30, of Fort Wayne is expected to be sentenced to 30 years in prison at a May 24 hearing after pleading guilty Thursday to felony aggravated battery and to two counts of felony neglect of a dependent. The state will drop a fourth felony charge of neglect, which is a higher level felony than the other neglect charges.
Miller is accused of beating Elijah Thomas Ross, her stepson, Dec. 18 with a wooden “sorority paddle,” according to the probable cause affidavit.
Miller and Elijah’s mother, Jenna M. Miller, 37, brought the boy to Lutheran Downtown Hospital about 1:17 a.m. Medical staffers applied life saving measures but pronounced the child dead at 2:09 a.m.
Fort Wayne Police Detective Aaron Johnson said in the probable cause affidavit that he saw multiple bruises on the boy’s face, the back of his arms, his shoulders, his lower back and his buttocks. Other visible injuries included abrasions and swelling on his shoulders.
Dr. E. Jon Brandenberger, the county coroner, ruled the death a homicide and determined that Elijah died of multiple blunt-force injuries. Those included a subdural hematoma, a traumatic brain injury caused by a buildup of blood.
The women, who are married, originally told police they were at a company Christmas party when one of their children called about a fistfight between Elijah and an older brother. Police interviewed them separately.
Alesha said she let them fight when they got home. The older boy pushed Elijah into a bookcase, but Elijah went up to bed himself. Jenna later called down that Elijah wasn’t breathing, and Alesha performed CPR while Jenna drove to the hospital.
Jenna told police that the boys were asleep when the women got home. When police asked about the bookcase, she said she saw the older boy push her son into it.
During second interviews, Jenna Miller told police that Alesha Miller beat the boy with a wooden paddle while holding him down with her legs. After the boy went limp once, the beating stopped but restarted while the victim screamed “please stop,” she said.
When Elijah went limp a second time, they put him in the shower to revive him. While in there, he squeezed Jenna’s arm and said “Mommy” before they took him to the hospital.
A child who lived at the home told police that Alesha Miller had beat the child before.
Jenna Miller filed for divorce Feb. 24, court documents state. The couple were married in September 2017.
Jenna Miller still faces four felonies related to the death and is scheduled for a May 17 trial. She’s charged with two felony counts of neglect of a dependent resulting in death and two felony counts of neglect of a dependent that places the dependent in a situation that endangers the dependent.
She faces a sentence of 15 to 30 years on each of the first two felonies and six months to 18 months on each of the other two.

Indonesia's palm oil industry braces for upcoming export ban
JAKARTA, April 27 (Reuters) - Indonesian palm oil companies were bracing on Wednesday for the impact of a government ban on exports of refined palm olein, with the new rules aimed at taming soaring prices of domestic cooking oil due to come into effect from midnight.
The export ban will be imposed on all producers of refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) palm olein, which is made by processing crushed palm fruit to remove impurities and accounts for about 40% of Indonesia's total shipments of palm oil products, according to analysts' estimates.
A trade ministry regulation detailing the implementation of the rules had not yet been made public, but palm industry participants have been briefed by the economics ministry, Eddy Martono, secretary general of the Indonesia Palm Oil Association (GAPKI), said.
The industry was trying to "operate as usual while continuing to monitor market movements," he said.
The restrictions imposed by Indonesia, the world's biggest palm oil maker, have driven up global edible oil prices as supplies were already choked by other factors such as drought and shortages after Russia's invasion of major crop producer Ukraine.
Plantation company Astra Agro Lestari said it would comply with the new regulations.
"Astra Agro runs its business opportunistically, so we would consider the most profitable price offer and of course it must comply with existing regulations," company spokesperson Fenny Sofyan told Reuters.
The export ban would remain in place until prices of bulk cooking oil dropped to 14,000 rupiah ($0.9720) per litre, coordinating economics minister Airlangga Hartato said.
In Jakarta, bulk cooking oil prices were offered at around 19,000-20,000 rupiah ($1.32-$1.39) on Wednesday and in other regions prices could be higher, Reynaldi Sarijowan, a senior official at the traditional market traders' association, said.
Meanwhile, exports of crude palm oil and other refined products would still be allowed, but authorities have threatened to widen the ban if shortages persist at home, according to a government document.
Eddy said that in 2021 domestic consumption of RBD palm olein was 8.3 million tonnes and Indonesia may face storage issues if the ban is prolonged.
Last year, Indonesia produced nearly 47 million tonnes of crude palm oil, according to GAPKI data.
Indonesia's ban on palm oil exports is unlikely to last more than a month due to limited infrastructure to store the surplus oil and because of mounting pressure from buyers to resume shipments, industry officials said.

Which neutral throw pillow is best?
The easiest upgrade to make in any room is to spruce it up with a great set of throw pillows. When you want the furniture to be the standout, the best choice is neutral throw pillows that match anything and add a subtle design element. Whether you place one on a lounge chair or use a pair to dress up your bed, neutral throw pillows add visual interest and pull together any room.
For a neutral throw pillow that can match any room, try the Lush Decor Adelyn Decorative Pillow.
What to know before you buy a neutral throw pillow
How much use the pillows will get
Are you buying throw pillows intended to dress up your formal couch, or do you need a pillow that can take some use? True decorative pillows can be made of fabric that’s visually appealing but not necessarily comfortable to the touch, such as wool. However, a pillow intended for comfort should be covered in a material that’s pleasant to the touch and easy to wash, such as microfiber or cotton.
Your home’s style
Are you going for a cozy, Hygge look or a classic, upscale style? Whatever your vibe, be sure that the throw pillows you buy match it or bring it out more than your existing furniture and decor. Pillows can underscore your design aesthetic. Choose satins and classic motifs (like fleur-de-lis or the on-trend look of embroidered bees) for a more formal look. Lean into shabby chic with ruffles and fabrics that look like they’ve stood the test of time. Add femininity to a room with florals and warmer colors, or go for a more modern look with crisp lines in monochromatic tones.
Washability
How much use a pillow will get also goes hand in hand with how much you need to wash it. Fancy, Mongolian-fur pillows should only be spot cleaned when absolutely necessary, so you’ll want to place those only in spots where they can be purely decorative. You should also keep them out of the reach of pets and children. Microfiber pillows, on the other hand, can go into the wash weekly. Consider your lifestyle when deciding on your neutral throw pillow.
What to look for in a quality neutral throw pillow
Texture
Neutral can range from lighter, creamy colors to darker, bolder tans and grays. But just because the colors of neutral pillows are subdued, that doesn’t mean that they can’t add visual interest. Consider a chunky, textured fabric, such as wool or chenille. Neutral colors also lend themselves to interesting, tone-on-tone patterns and natural materials like sheepskin or shearling.
Size
Throw pillows come in several standard sizes. The most popular square pillows are 16 by 16 inches, 18 by 18 inches and 20 by 20 inches. Larger pillows look best on big couches and wider beds. Smaller varieties work great for tighter spaces or at the front of a cluster of larger ones. You may also want to look into pillows of other shapes. Small rectangular pillows and round pillows also look good in front of larger, square ones.
Match the pillows with other upgrades
Pillows are a great start, but you can extend the use of neutrals in your room by also introducing an area rug or curtains in complementary colors. A great throw blanket can also add visual appeal.
How much you can expect to spend on a neutral throw pillow
Neutral throw pillows commonly cost between $25-$60. If you’ve already got inserts, lower your cost by only buying pillow covers of the correct size.
Neutral throw pillow FAQ
How do I keep my neutral pillows from looking too boring?
A. There are many ways to make a space look attractive, and color is just one of them. Just because your pillows are neutral, that doesn’t mean they have to look boring. Experiment with texture, size and shape to bring variety while creating a visually cohesive look.
How often should I replace my throw pillows?
A. You’ve likely heard the rule that your bedroom pillows should be replaced every three to six months. That’s because they get nightly wear, and even with the regular washing of pillowcases, bedroom pillows collect dust and skin cells. However, this rule doesn’t apply to decorative pillows because they’re not subject to the same level of wear as bed pillows. If you do use your throw pillows to lean on, be sure to remove their covers and wash them as frequently as you’d wash bedroom pillowcases (about once a week). You can safely replace those inserts once a year or so. Purely decorative pillows can be used safely for several years or until they lose their shape.

Rio de Janeiro (AFP), Apr 27 – After a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19, the jury for Rio de Janeiro’s colorful, cutthroat carnival competition on Tuesday named the winner of the 2022 edition — a parade on the theme of religious tolerance.
Grande Rio, a samba school from the impoverished neighborhood of Duque de Caxias, claimed the coveted title for the first time in their history for a highly colorful, sparkling parade dedicated to the Afro-Brazilian deity Exu.
It was a politically charged choice of theme in a Brazil where Afro-Brazilian faiths such as Candomble and Umbanda have been widely demonized by the country’s powerful Evangelical Christian movement, which is closely allied with far-right President Jair Bolsonaro.
“We conceived our parade as a defense of our beliefs against religious racism and the demonization of Exu,” said the school’s creative director, Leonardo Bora.
Twelve samba schools took part in the all-night contest Friday and Saturday, which had the city’s dedicated carnival parade venue, the “Sambadrome,” throbbing to the beat as a glittering, sequin-studded sea of dancers, drummers and floats flooded the avenue.
It was an exuberant unleashing of pent-up party spirit, after two long years of a pandemic that has hit Brazil hard, claiming more than 660,000 lives.
The six top samba schools will fill the avenue again for a “champions’ parade” Saturday night.
Of the six, five chose themes related to racial injustice or Afro-Brazilian history — Grande Rio, Beija-Flor (second place), Vila Isabel (fourth), Portela (fifth) and Salgueiro (sixth).
The issues highlighted by the schools are in the spotlight as Bolsonaro, who has faced frequent accusations of racism and intolerance, gears up to seek re-election in October.
Third place in the contest went to 2020 champions Viradouro, whose parade paid tribute to the legendary carnival of 1919, the first after the devastation of another pandemic, the Spanish flu. | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/04/sparkling-message-of-tolerance-wins-rio-carnival-title/ | 2022-04-27T05:46:24Z | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/04/sparkling-message-of-tolerance-wins-rio-carnival-title/ | true | 6 |

DENVER — Nestled in the heart of an often forgotten Denver community lies a hidden gem.
At Sun Valley Youth Center, each day is met with new challenges and new opportunities to learn how to cope with them.
“We practice trauma informed programming around here," said Kris Rollerson, executive director of Sun Valley Youth Center. "So as kids are coming in, they may be dysregulated from school, they might be having a hard time or had a hard day. We want to be that safe place where kids can come and just really kind of let it loose and know that like we're still going to support them.”
Support — something Rollerson says is missing from a lot of these children and their families.
“There's a lot of single moms, single family, single parent families, and so giving them some support, for sure," said Rollerson. "Some of our moms are coming out of horrible domestic violence situations, and so like they just literally have zero support.”
The center serves as a safe haven for many kids during what can be some of the most challenging yet influential years of their life. That's why the staff is dedicated to the pillar of TBRI, or trust-based relationship intervention, which means building relationships and addressing behaviors while also giving each child tools they can use to handle their emotions.
“We talked to them a lot about mental health and mindfulness, and just being in tune with their emotions and also recognizing emotions and how they might come up in the body or make them act or make us act a certain way, and like how to go about dealing with those and managing those emotions," said Diamond Sykes, elementary program director.
While Sykes is now the elementary program director, she once sat exactly where these kids sit today. She says without the center, many kids might never get the chance to experience anything outside of the confines of their neighborhood.
"It also gives us an opportunity to kind of explore our passions and stuff that we otherwise might not even think of," Sykes said. "I feel like it helped open my mind a bit to what's all out there, even in my city and stuff."
It was success stories like Sykes' that prompted Sun Valley to launch a social media campaign.
April is Child Abuse Awareness Month. Rollerson started the campaign to highlight a different person every day, including stories of hope and faces who have walked Sun Valley's halls and gone on to do great things.
Those faces include current students who love the center for the simple things.
“What's your favorite thing to do here?" asked photojournalist William Peterson.
"Um... um... play!” replied 9-year-old Salah, who has been going to the center for four years.
“The staff here are actually, like, really cool," said 10th grader Numan Mahamed, who has been going to the center for 10 years. "Like, they're not like teachers, they're almost like friends. Like, they're accepting of me.”
Accepting each individual for who they are is key, Rollerson says, because at the end of the day, each child needs to know they are heard and they matter.
"Just a kid having a smile on their face because they knew after school, they were gonna go to somebody that was going to embrace them and love them no matter what," said Rollerson. "I think for me, seeing lives transformed, seeing families twisting out of generational poverty, and just the joy and hope that I see, that's what keeps me going every single day."

China's yuan stabilises as investors look for 'red line' on weakness
SHANGHAI, April 27 (Reuters) - China's yuan inched up slightly against the dollar on Wednesday, gaining a foothold following recent volatility as market participants looked for clues about official attitudes towards foreign exchange policy. COVID-19 lockdowns in dozens of Chinese cities and the narrowing yield advantage against other major economies have weighed heavily on the yuan, pushing it to a one-year low earlier this week. It has since come off that low after the central bank cut the amount of foreign exchange banks must keep in reserve. Market participants are now looking for the "red line" at which authorities would welcome a cheaper yuan to underpin and economic recovery while also keeping capital outflows under control. "A weaker CNY would help alleviate pressure on China's economy and boost export competitiveness amid stronger external competition, at a time when domestic monetary policy is constrained by a hawkish Federal Reserve," analysts at Standard Chartered said in a note. Standard Chartered revised its forecast for the yuan to trade at 6.7 per dollar at end of the second quarter, weaker than 6.35 previously. Prior to the market opening, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) set the midpoint rate at a fresh two-year low of 6.5598 per dollar, 8 pips weaker than the previous fix 6.559, but 16 pips firmer than Reuters' estimate of 6.5614. Apart from the FX RRR reduction, the central bank has not yet expressed any signs of discomfort over recent yuan weakness, with official guidance rates this week mostly in line with market projections, traders said. In the spot market, the onshore yuan opened at 6.5595 per dollar and was changing hands at 6.5559 at midday, 21 pips firmer than the previous late session close. Several market analysts and traders said the FX RRR reduction should keep the yuan well above the psychologically important 6.6 per dollar for now, while the U.S. Federal Reserve's anticipated interest rate hike in May could revive weakness in the Chinese currency. "As long as the monetary policy divergences continue to widen here, the yuan should continue to weaken and we target the November 2020 high (for USD/CNY) near 6.75," said Win Thin, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman. By midday, the global dollar index rose to 102.347 from the previous close of 102.303, while the offshore yuan was trading at 6.5851 per dollar. The yuan market at 0400 GMT: ONSHORE SPOT: Item Current Previous Change PBOC midpoint 6.5598 6.559 -0.01% Spot yuan 6.5559 6.558 0.03% Divergence from -0.06% midpoint* Spot change YTD -3.06% Spot change since 2005 26.25% revaluation Key indexes: Item Current Previous Change Thomson 103.02 102.74 0.3 Reuters/HKEX CNH index Dollar index 102.347 102.303 0.0 *Divergence of the dollar/yuan exchange rate.

BJP, VHP hold protest march in Rajasthan against Alwar temple demolition
Photo : ANI
Alwar: The BJP, VHP and several Hindu organisations on Wednesday held a protest march in Rajasthan against the temple demolition in Alwar, demanding Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's resignation.
“We are holding this march to stop the Rajasthan government from propagating appeasement politics. In our memorandum, we have demanded strict action against involved officers, construction of the demolished temple...CM Gehlot should resign too,” said BJP MP Balak Nath.
Two temples and some other structures were demolished on April 17-18 in Alwar district’s Rajgarh as part of an “anti-encroachment drive” to widen a road in the municipal town. While one of the temples was completely demolished, another was partially demolished and its sanctum sanctorum is safe, as per officials.
The razing of temples triggered a war of words between the BJP and Congress with the two blaming each other for the demolition. The BJP accused the Congress-led government in the state of using bulldozers on Hindu religious places, while the latter alleged that the drive was carried out by the “BJP-run municipal body” of Rajgarh.
On Saturday, a five-member BJP committee headed by party’s state president Satish Poonia visited Rajgarh in Alwar where the two temples were removed by bulldozers by the Rajgarh Nagar Palika.
BJP MP Sumedhanand Saraswati Monday sought the Rajasthan government's apology over the demolition of the temples in Alwar and demanded that they rebuild them.
According to Alwar collector Nakate Shivprasad Madan, the Nagar Palika board passed the proposal for the demolition and the action was taken in accordance with the decision of the local administration in the presence of police.
“In the meeting of the board headed by its chairman, a proposal to remove encroachments was passed. The executive officer accordingly issued notices and then the demolition was done,” the collector said, PTI reported.
The state government suspended Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of the region Keshav Kumar Meena and other officials on Monday. Besides the SDM, Rajgarh Municipality Board's chairman Satish Duharia and executive officer (EO) of the nagar panchayat Banwari Lal Meena were also suspended. | https://www.timesnownews.com/india/bjp-vhp-hold-protest-march-in-rajasthan-against-alwar-temple-demolition-demand-ashok-gehlots-resignation-article-91118166 | 2022-04-27T06:19:08Z | https://www.timesnownews.com/india/bjp-vhp-hold-protest-march-in-rajasthan-against-alwar-temple-demolition-demand-ashok-gehlots-resignation-article-91118166 | true | 1 |

Endorsement for Brent Ruter, school committee
To the editor:
I attended the “Meet the Candidates” night on April 14 and I won’t be disingenuous by pretending I attended with an open-mind. Brent Ruter has coached my son in soccer. On the field, he has not only coached my son to be a better soccer player, but to be a better teammate. Off the field, he has a track record that reflects his passion for educating our children with 25 years of public school experience as a teacher and leading of science departments, devoting his time to teaching in Massachusetts as well as nationally and globally.
At the forum, Ruter’s responses to the questions reinforced my support for his candidacy; he was articulate, thoughtful and respectful in his answers. He demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the intricacies of navigating complex regulations at a local and state level.

A year of hunger: how the Russia-Ukraine war is worsening climate-linked food shortages
Civil unrest took root when bread prices rose by almost 40 in 2007-08 due to droughts in food producing nations and oil price rises.Climate change, conflict and food security will keep compounding The worlds current 1.2 deg C of warming has already slashed the worlds average agricultural production by at least 21.To date, rich countries have not seen much effect.
- Country:
- Australia
Global wheat prices have soared since Russia invaded Ukraine in February. The two nations account for 30%of the world's wheat exports.
That means many low-income nations that are net food importers are bracing for a year of hunger. The disruption of war compounds existing drops in food production linked to climate change. On a global scale, climate change has already cut global average agricultural production by at least one-fifth.
Food insecurity often translates to widespread social unrest, as we saw in the 2011 Arab Spring protests, which came after major food price rises.
Countries in the Middle East and North Africa are likely to be hit hardest in the short term, given they are the major importers of Ukrainian wheat and have major food security issues. Countries dependent on specific commodities and which can't switch to alternative food sources are also at risk.
As many nations face hunger and worsening food security, it is time to redouble our efforts on climate change. Climate change is the great risk multiplier, worsening all existing global crises.
What effect is the war having? The world produces enough food to feed everyone. Hunger persists due to the critical factors of distribution and access.
We can add war and climate change to this list too. The current wheat price spikes are driven by a combination of war pressures and market speculation.
The world's largest wheat importer is Egypt, which buys in over half of its calories. At the same time, it exports rice.
This is a dangerous combination. Much of Egypt's population lives in poverty, with a high reliance on wheat. Civil unrest took root when bread prices rose by almost 40% in 2007-08 due to droughts in food-producing nations and oil price rises.
Climate change, conflict and food security will keep compounding The world's current 1.2 deg C of warming has already slashed the world's average agricultural production by at least 21%.
To date, rich countries have not seen much effect. But the rest of the world has. In Africa, Central and South America, food insecurity and malnutrition have risen sharply due to floods and droughts damaging crops.
The world's poor live where land is cheapest and most vulnerable to climatic extremes. They often have sporadic or no access to health care, education, transport, meaningful employment, food and water. Each of these factors amplifies others, which intensifies the underlying disadvantage and can fuel conflict. Climate change can worsen all of these factors.
In 2022, a war between two nations is directly influencing global food, fuel and fertiliser supplies and prices. As the world warms and our agricultural systems begin to fail in some areas, it is a certainty that climate, food insecurity and war will combine to produce more suffering.
Rich countries are not immune Rich countries like Australia are learning food insecurity can affect everyone. The pandemic years have led to heightened financial vulnerability and food insecurity among more Australians than ever.
The pandemic comes on top of climate change-linked weather events disrupting food supply due to unprecedented bushfires and floods. The record-breaking rains have made it harder to sell recent bumper grain crops at a good price due to water damage to crops as well as export infrastructure damaged by the previous prolonged drought cycle.
Australia exports enough food for 70 million people. That can give a false sense of security. In reality, our position as the aridest inhabited continent in a steadily warming world has led to drops of up to 35% in farm profitability since 2000.
What can be done? For many in Ukraine, other conflict zones and refugee camps, life becomes a question of knowing how and when the next meal will come.
People who have experienced true hunger know the memory will linger even after living in a food-rich country for decades, as one author knows from living through the war in former Yugoslavia.
Knowledge about food is critical to resilience: food production and preserving skills, diversity of edible weeds and foraging opportunities, how supply chains work and the consequences of trading food in the face of hunger.
To build resilience in the face of these intensifying and overlapping threats, we must move away from our current dependence on wheat, corn and rice for fully 40% of our calories. Of the world's thousands of plant species, we farm around 170 on a commercial basis. And of these, about a dozen supply most of our needs.
As the threats to food security intensify, we will also need to question why basic foodstuffs are commodities of profit. A radical but widely advocated approach is the model in which foods are traded equitably to address need. Access to food is, after all, a human right.
If we can embed more equitable and resilient food systems, we will be better placed to adapt to climate change already locked in by previous emissions, as well as dampen the sparks of conflict. Improving the way we produce food can also help us tackle climate change and biodiversity loss.
We are heartened by growing interest in urban food production, efforts to reimagine distribution as well as regenerative agriculture and technological innovations on farms. Taken together, these changes can shorten supply chains and increase food diversity and resilience.
Why does that matter? Because producing food closer to home reduces the risk of food insecurity linked to climate change, war and other disruptions.
As more and more of us move to cities, we will have to embrace greater urban production of food and support for the family farms and smallholders who still, to this day, produce more than half of every calorie consumed by humanity.
We have a real opportunity – and need – to rethink how we produce and distribute the food we rely on. We still have a chance to head off some of the suffering heading our way.

The New Orleans Pelicans could conceivably be ahead 3-1 in this first-round series if not for Chris Paul’s heroics and Phoenix winning the mental gymnastics in game 3. They have outscored the Suns by 31 points since overcoming first-half jitters during the opening contest.
The offense has shined when ignoring those first 24 minutes. Over the last seven halves of basketball, the Pelicans are averaging 121 points per game on 50.7% shooting from the field. They are dominating the glass by a 161-118 rebound margin. They are enjoying a 42-29 edge in fast break points and a 59-47 edge in second chance points.
Brandon Ingram has looked the part of best player on the floor, especially in the last three games with averages of 33.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists. His shooting has been lights out as evidenced by a 55.6 field goal percentage, a 50.0 three-point percentage and an 85.7 free throw percentage.
It honestly hasn’t mattered which Phoenix defender has been selected for the assignment on Ingram. He’s cooked them all.
Brandon Ingram is cooking against all of the Suns’ wings:
— Evan Sidery (@esidery) April 25, 2022
Cam Johnson = 70% (7/10 FGA)
Mikal Bridges = 60% (6/10 FGA)
Torrey Craig = 60% (6/10 FGA)
Jae Crowder = 50% (12/24 FGA)
Additional hope can be derived from Jonas Valanciunas rediscovering his shooting touch (26 points on a 60.0 FG% in game 4) and the Pelicans becoming quick learners in the mental battles of playoff basketball.
Jaxson Hayes was ejected in game 3 after Jae Crowder got into his head. The Pelicans seemingly took turns flustering Chris Paul in game 4, resulting in one of his worst statistical performances of his 141-playoff-game career.
Chris Paul is elite, but he’s also an irritant. So, I really commend the Pelicans’ rookies for reciprocating CP3’s energy instead of folding. Jose Alvarado and Herbert Jones are tough! #NBAPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/Os1IDtuJuW
— GOWIE (@DaKidGowie) April 25, 2022
Without Devin Booker, it’s vital for the Suns to see Paul rise to the occasion. He is their engine and responsible for getting their wings involved in the offense. And based upon his level of commitment to the game that he cherishes so much and the Phoenix crowd sitting in his corner, we should expect The Point God to do his best in bouncing back strongly in game 5.
Despite riding decent momentum, oddsmakers currently list the Pelicans as 6.5-point underdogs. That’s the same line the Heat have over the Hawks tonight despite Miami playing at home and enjoying a 3-1 series advantage.
The Pelicans have to be mentally and physically prepared for an all-out assault by CP3. He’s going to reach into the deepest parts of his bag of tricks in an effort to get Herb Jones into foul trouble, get under the skin of Jose Alvarado and just will the Suns to victory.
Another area of concern is the long-range shooting. The Suns shot 36.4% (9th) from three-point range during the regular season. Through four games of this series, that percentage sits at 29.3% (14th out of 16 teams). On the flip side, the Pelicans have been well above average, knocking down 39.4% (4th) of their threes after making only 33.2% (27th) during the regular season.
Both teams have traded punches well so far, making the necessary adjustments after losses. Can the Pelicans be the first team to win two consecutive games in this series? They’re riding solid momentum and have already beaten the Suns on their turf, but everyone should expect for Phoenix to play desperate.
Game 5 can’t start soon enough!

A roar from the crowd as he comes to the crease, a quick dismissal, a look of disbelief, and an exasperated walk back to the pavilion. There has been an unsettling consistency to Virat Kohli’s performance in Indian Premier League 2022.
The former India captain, arguably the greatest white-ball batter in history, is probably going through the worst patch of his career. After nine games in IPL 2022, he has a total of just 128 runs to his name at a strike-rate of 119.62.
Kohli’s latest low score came in Royal Challengers Bangalore’s defeat to Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday. He was promoted to the opener’s slot but that didn’t help as he was dismissed in the second over. And this came after he registered back-to-back ducks in the IPL for the first time. Golden ducks at that.
Kohli's overall batting stats in IPL 2022
Kohli's innings in IPL 2022
Luck is a term that’s been used frequently to describe Kohli’s dismissals this season, and there is indeed merit to that argument.
Against Mumbai Indians, he narrowly missed out on a half-century after a contentious LBW decision. Against Delhi Capitals and in RCB’s first match against RR, he got run-out on the back of some excellent fielding. And against Chennai Super Kings, he timed the ball perfectly only to find the lone fielder in the deep behind square.
However, along with these moments of misfortune, Kohli has also had a number of uncharacteristically tentative bits of batting.
Against Kolkata Knight Riders, he had a familiar dismissal as he edged a ball outside off stump after poking at it. Against Lucknow Super Giants, he played a nothing shot straight to point. And against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he lost balance and played the wrong line to a ball that was angled away but hardly moved.
Despite his lack of runs, though, RCB have consistently expressed faith in Kohli’s ability to bounce back.
Here’s what RCB coach Sanjay Bangar had to say after the defeat against RR:
“He (Kohli) is a great player and has seen many ups and downs in his career. I’ve seen him from close quarters and I know he is a fighter. The spirit he has will help him emerge stronger from this run of low scores and make us win games.
“We haven’t had any different sort of chats with him. The way he prepares, he always gets himself out of his comfort zone and this is his speciality. And this is the reason he can overcome difficult situations, which is commendable. So I would just want him to use his fighting spirit and the way he’s played all his cricket to put this run of low scores behind him. He has such mental toughness that I am sure he will win us important matches going forward.”
It’s no secret that Kohli has steadily moved away from his best since around the time he got his last international century in November 2019. Despite that, there was always hope for his elusive 71st ton because he looked fluent on most occasions. And that is precisely what the concern is at the moment – he simply isn’t looking comfortable at the crease. It’s not like he’s playing those familiar, confident drives before getting out. It just seems a battle for survival.
In the match against RR on Tuesday, he nearly flicked the third ball to short square-leg. “Maybe that’s the luck he needs,” said the commentator. Two balls later, he slashed unconvincingly and got an inside edge for four. “I think his luck is back,” was the comment on air. Next ball, another inside edge. And then three dot balls later, he went too early for a pull shot only to get a bottom edge to point. It was a bizarre yet fitting dismissal.
Kohli looking stunned after being dismissed isn’t new. Who can forget the look on his face after being bowled by Adil Rashid during an ODI in August 2018? But the difference then was that he would perish after being on top. The disbelief stemmed from a sense of superiority. It was more about ‘how did you manage to beat me square?’ But now, that stunned look seems more about ‘how has this happened again?’
For the longest time, the question around Kohli was: when will he score his next century? From that, it went to: when will he return to his best? And now, the question seems to be: will he return to his best?
It’s worth remembering that this is a challenging new phase for Kohli in his career. From being the leader at RCB and the Indian team for a long time, he is now just another player in franchise and international cricket. It must surely be a tough transition. But the lack of responsibility was also expected to free him up as a batter. And despite his full commitment, which includes some top-notch fielding, the runs have only kept drying up.
Bangalore have won five out of nine games so far and could find themselves in contention for a playoff spot. It’s also worth mentioning that India, too, have a number of important assignments coming up, including a T20 World Cup. With the stakes high, the question remains: will Kohli find his best?
His teammates and fans will certainly hope that this bad patch can be filed under ‘form is temporary, class in permanent’ soon. | https://scroll.in/field/1022720/ipl-2022-will-virat-kohli-find-his-best-again?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=public | 2022-04-27T06:36:25Z | https://scroll.in/field/1022720/ipl-2022-will-virat-kohli-find-his-best-again?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=public | false | 2 |
India: Many dead as truck hits power line during Hindu procession
At least 11 people, including two children, die after being electrocuted as their truck, decorated as a temple chariot, touches overhead power transmission wire.
At least 11 people, including two children, have died after being electrocuted when their truck, decorated as a temple chariot, touched an overhead electric power transmission wire during a Hindu festival procession in southern India, police say.
The deaths occurred early on Wednesday when the temple chariot procession was under way in Tamil Nadu state’s Thanjavur district, 340km (210 miles) south of state capital Chennai, police said.
Another three people suffered burn injuries and were hospitalised in Thanjavur, a police officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to reporters.
Local media reports said at least 15 people were injured in the incident.

According to Voetbal International, Feyenoord director Frank Arnesen is in talks with Urawa Red Diamonds about a deal for the attacker, who has made it no secret that he would like to play abroad one day.
Linssen does not need to depart Feyenoord but they would not stand in his way if he reached an agreement with the Japanese side. Feyenoord have given Linssen permission to discuss a deal.
Feyenoord signed Linssen from Vitesse Arnhem in 2020 and he has since made 84 appearances for the club, scoring 27 goals and adding 16 assists. The 31-year-old has had a successful campaign but is second choice forward behind Cyriel Dessers. | https://www.football-oranje.com/linssen-in-talks-with-urawa-red-diamonds/ | 2022-04-27T06:46:54Z | https://www.football-oranje.com/linssen-in-talks-with-urawa-red-diamonds/ | true | null |
