Boyne soccer returns to win column, Harbor falls to Elk Rapids
BOYNE FALLS — Back on the winning track.
After picking up a loss to Traverse City West, two cancellations against Petoskey and Gaylord, then a tie against rival Charlevoix, the Boyne City girls’ soccer team got back on track Tuesday at home against Cheboygan with a 2-1 victory.
The Ramblers struck first in the contest with a goal by Braydin Noble from deep, assisted by Mackensey Wilson around 15 minutes into the game.
It stood as a 1-0 halftime and up until Cheboygan evened things up eight minutes into the second half.
The tie lasted just a couple minutes, however, as Elly Day gave the lead back to Boyne City off a Lydia Frasz assist, making it a 2-1 game and eventually a final.
Maggi McHugh and Mya Pofahl each shared time in goal for Boyne City, combining for three saves. The Ramblers also had nine shots on Cheboygan.
Now 4-2-1 overall on the season, Boyne City will get one of its toughest tests yet with a Friday home game against Elk Rapids at the Boyne Mountain complex.
The Elks and Ramblers are the lone two unbeatens of the LMC, with Elk Rapids at 4-0 and Boyne at 3-0-1.
LAKE MICHIGAN
Elk Rapids 4, Harbor Springs 0
ELK RAPIDS — The five-game road stretch for the Harbor Springs girls’ soccer team continued Tuesday in the bitter cold, when they traveled to Elk Rapids to meet the first place Elks.
For a second straight game, the Rams had a hard time finding the back of the net, falling in a 4-0 final.
The Rams trailed just 1-0 at halftime and Harbor head coach Aaron Riley felt his team fought hard against an Elk squad that’s yet to drop a league matchup this season (4-0).
"Our forwards worked hard tonight,” said Riley. “I know the scoreboard doesn't reflect it but they put themselves in position to score. Now we just have to work on finishing.
“Elk Rapids is always talented and their players work hard to keep possession.”
Harbor Springs dropped to 3-4 overall with the loss and 2-2 within the Lake Michigan Conference. They’ll next host Traverse City St. Francis on Thursday, April 28.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is an ongoing threat to global health, and wide-scale vaccination is an efficient method to reduce morbidity and mortality. We designed and evaluated two DNA plasmid vaccines, based on the pIDV-II system, expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike gene, with or without an immunogenic peptide, in mice, and in a Syrian hamster model of infection. Both vaccines demonstrated robust immunogenicity in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. Additionally, the shedding of infectious virus and the viral burden in the lungs was reduced in immunized hamsters. Moreover, high-titers of neutralizing antibodies with activity against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants were generated in immunized animals. Vaccination also protected animals from weight loss during infection. Additionally, both vaccines were effective at reducing both pulmonary and extrapulmonary pathology in vaccinated animals. These data show the potential of a DNA vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 and suggest further investigation in large animal and human studies could be pursued. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2582551690672/enslaved-people-and-the-birth-of-epidemiology | 2022-04-27T07:04:35Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2582551690672/enslaved-people-and-the-birth-of-epidemiology | true | 3 |
Harrison McAlpine Jr., of McLean, Virginia, left this world peacefully April 21, 2022, at age 92.
Those are the dry facts; but dry facts never tell the story of a life, and Harry led a full life.
Born in Columbus, Ohio, on Feb. 25, 1930, he learned the value of quiet service from a military father and mother, and he continued his own quiet service for the rest of his life.
After graduating from Lafayette College 1951, Harry enlisted in the Army, where he served as an infantry platoon leader in the 11th Airborne Division and then as a rifle platoon leader in Korea. Two of his greatest joys in life came back-to-back: marrying the love of his life, Betsy McCain, in 1955, and entering government service the following year. For the next 33 years, he served in positions of increasing responsibility, primarily involving East Asia. Harry and Betsy (because they were always a team) served in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Laos, Indonesia and Australia.
Retiring in 1988, Harry turned to quiet service of a different kind: volunteering for organizations such as Share of McLean, and becoming involved in the good works of St. John’s Episcopal Church of McLean. His work at Share earned him the Greater McLean Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Business Citizen of the Year.
But it was never about recognition and awards. It was about service to country and others. Harry is survived by family members who will forever love him. He was preceded in death by his wife, Betsy. He is survived by his son, Ken and wife Kathy, of Ventura, California; his grandsons, Cullen and Graham, also of California; and a host of friends who became family.
A funeral will be held at St. John’s Episcopal Church in McLean, Virginia, at 11 a.m. Friday, April 29. In lieu of flowers, kind donations can be made to Share of McLean, 1367 Chain Bridge Road, McLean, VA 22101 (shareofmclean.org/donate).

TOKYO, April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, "Eisai") today announced an article about long-term health outcomes of its investigational anti-amyloid-beta (Aβ) protofibril antibody lecanemab in people living with early Alzheimer's disease (AD) using simulation modeling was published in a peer-reviewed journal Neurology and Therapy. In this simulation, lecanemab treatment is estimated to potentially slow the rate of disease progression, maintaining treated patients for a longer duration in earlier stages of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD and mild AD (collectively, early AD).
The article describes the comparison of the long-term clinical outcomes for the people living with early AD who have amyloid pathology with standard of care (SoC) alone (including stable use of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor or memantine), and with lecanemab with SoC (lecanemab+SoC), using the disease simulation model (AD ACE model1,2) based on the results of a Phase IIb clinical trial (Study 201) evaluating the efficacy and safety of lecanemab. SoC data were estimated from ADNI (Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative) study results. It was shown that the estimated lifetime risk of disease progression to mild, moderate, and severe AD dementia from baseline could potentially be reduced by 7%, 13% and 10% in lecanemab+SoC, respectively, compared to SoC. In the model the mean time advancing to mild, moderate, and severe AD dementia was longer for patients in the lecanemab-treated group than for patients in the SoC group by 2.51 years (SoC vs. lecanemab+Soc: 3.10 vs.5.61 years), 3.13 (6.14 vs. 9.27 years) and 2.34 (9.07 vs.11.41 years) respectively. Subgroup analysis by age and disease severity at baseline also revealed a potentially greater impact on disease progression with earlier initiation of treatment with lecanemab. The incremental mean times for transition to mild and moderate AD dementia were 2.53 and 3.34 years, respectively, when treating MCI due to AD in a subgroup analysis compared to SoC.
"With an increasing and aging global population, the number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease will only continue to increase, making it an even more important and urgent public health priority. Alzheimer's disease is growing issue in regard to medical and nursing care costs, but also costs of informal care by family, leading to increased anxiety. The findings from the simulation model suggest early treatment with lecanemab may delay progression to the more severe stages of AD, potentially giving people living with early AD and their loved ones more time together and possibly reducing healthcare costs," said Ivan Cheung, Chairman, Eisai Inc., Senior Vice President, President Neurology Business Group and Global Alzheimer's Disease Officer, Eisai Co., Ltd. "These predicted and simulated long-term health outcomes provide insights for healthcare decision-makers regarding the potential clinical and socioeconomic value of lecanemab. Ongoing Phase 3 studies will soon be able to inform the model inputs and refine the findings. As part of Eisai's commitment to our human healthcare mission and transparency, we will continue to publish data and information about lecanemab."
Lecanemab was granted Breakthrough Therapy and Fast Track designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June and December 2021, respectively. Eisai anticipates completing lecanemab's rolling submission of a Biologics License Application for the treatment of early AD to the FDA under the accelerated approval pathway in the first quarter of Eisai's fiscal year 2022, which began April 1, 2022. Additionally, the readout of the Phase 3 confirmatory Clarity AD clinical trial will occur in the Fall of 2022. Eisai initiated a submission to the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) of application data of lecanemab under the prior assessment consultation system in Japan in March 2022. Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with both Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.
This release discusses investigational uses of an agent in development and is not intended to convey conclusions about efficacy or safety. There is no guarantee that such an investigational agent will successfully complete clinical development or gain health authority approval.

1. About Lecanemab (BAN2401)
Lecanemab is an investigational humanized monoclonal antibody for Alzheimer's disease (AD) that is the result of a strategic research alliance between Eisai and BioArctic. Lecanemab selectively binds to neutralize and eliminate soluble, toxic amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregates (protofibrils) that are thought to contribute to the neurodegenerative process in AD. As such, lecanemab may have the potential to have an effect on disease pathology and to slow down the progression of the disease. Currently, lecanemab is being developed as the only anti- Aβ antibody that can be used for the treatment of early AD without the need for titration. With regard to the results from pre-specified analysis at 18 months of treatment, Study 201 demonstrated reduction of brain Aβ accumulation (P<0.0001) and slowing of disease progression measured by ADCOMS* (P<0.05) in early AD patients. The study did not achieve super superiority its primary outcome measure** at 12 months of treatment. The Study 201 open-label extension was initiated after completion of the Core period and a Gap period off treatment of 9-59 months (average of 24 months, n=180 from core study enrolled) to evaluate safety and efficacy, and is underway.
Currently, lecanemab is being studied in a confirmatory Phase 3 clinical study in symptomatic early AD (Clarity-AD), following the outcome of the Phase 2 clinical study (Study 201). Since July 2020 the Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer's Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, Eisai and Biogen. Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's disease (DIAD), that is conducted by Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is ongoing. Furthermore, Eisai has initiated a lecanemab subcutaneous dosing Phase 1 study. Eisai obtained the global rights to study, develop, manufacture and market lecanemab for the treatment of AD pursuant to an agreement concluded with BioArctic in December 2007.
* ADCOMS (AD Composite Score), developed by Eisai, combines items from the ADAS-Cog (AD Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) and the MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination) scales to enable a sensitive detection of changes in clinical functions of early AD symptoms and changes in memory. The ADCOMS scale ranges from a score of 0.00 to 1.97, with higher score indicating greater impairment.
** An 80% or higher estimated probability of demonstrating 25% or greater slowing super superiority in clinical decline at 12 months treatment measured by ADCOMS from baseline compared to placebo.
2. About the Collaboration between Eisai and Biogen for Alzheimer's Disease
Eisai and Biogen are collaborating on the joint development and commercialization of AD treatments. Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with both companies co-commercializing and co-promoting the product.
3. About the Collaboration between Eisai and BioArctic for Alzheimer's Disease
Since 2005, BioArctic has had a long-term collaboration with Eisai regarding the development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of AD. The commercialization agreement on the lecanemab antibody was signed in December 2007, and the development and commercialization agreement on the antibody lecanemab back-up for AD, which was signed in May 2015. Eisai is responsible for the clinical development, application for market approval and commercialization of the products for AD. BioArctic has no development costs for lecanemab in AD.

Netflix to be CHEAPER with Virgin Media’s new streaming TV box – but there’s a catch
VIRGIN Media has launched a brand new streaming TV box allowing people to effectively save money on their Netflix bill.
People who have the telecom giant's broadband can get ten per cent credit towards all streaming services they add to their account with the new Stream box.
The product costs £35 up front and has no long term contracts, as Virgin tries to take on Sky Glass.
Customers can subscribe and cancel as they like to a host of popular content in one place, including Disney+ - which launches on Virgin for the first time - Sky Sports and BT Sport.
The dinky plug and play box brings subscriptions and traditional free live TV channels under one roof, without the need for loads of wires or drilling.
Alongside a voice-activated controller, the device means people can turn their older TVs into smarter ones using a HDMI cable.
Other apps available include Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, Starzplay, BritBox and YouTube.
David Bouchier, Virgin Media O2's chief TV and entertainment officer told The Sun the timing couldn't be greater with a cost of living crisis.
"When you ask people, they don't really know who's paying what and how much they're paying - seeing it all in one place and getting great value for money is key," he said.
The product is being geared as a complementary service to traditional set-top boxes - though the firm hopes to attract new generations who prefer streamed subscriptions.

"We are servicing another group, a group that have historically either not gone with pay TV, they've gone with paid-for video, or have maybe left us in favour of going just for the subscription services."
However, there is a slight catch - you can only use Stream if you have Virgin Media's broadband.
The ten per cent credit applies to all subscriptions combined, not ten per cent off each.
It'll also not apply if you have any ongoing offers.
Virgin Media Stream will be available to buy from Wednesday.

LVIV, Ukraine — European gas prices have spiked by as much as 24% following Gazprom's statement that it was suspending deliveries to Poland and Bulgaria starting Wednesday because it hasn’t received any payments from them since April 1. Benchmark Dutch futures traded at one point around 125 euros per megawatt hour.
Fatih Birol, the executive director of the Paris-based International Energy Agency, tweeted Wednesday morning that his organization “stands firmly with Poland.”
“Gazprom’s move to completely shut off gas supplies to Poland is yet another sign of Russia’s politicisation of existing agreements & will only accelerate European efforts to move away from Russian energy supplies,” he wrote.
The spike comes even as the weather turns warmer in the Europe, lessening the demand for the natural gas for heating homes and businesses.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
MOSCOW — Russia’s state-controlled natural gas giant Gazprom says it has cut gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria after they have refused to pay for the shipments in rubles.
It warned that if they siphon gas intended for other European customers, the deliveries to Europe will be reduced to that amount.
The move follows Russian President Vladimir Putin’s order to switch to rubles in payments for the Russian gas supplied to Europe.

BEIJING — Drone company DJI Technology Co. said it will temporarily suspend business activities in Russia and Ukraine to ensure its products are not used during the hostilities.
“DJI is internally reassessing compliance requirements in various jurisdictions. Pending the current review, DJI will temporarily suspend all business activities in Russia and Ukraine,” the company said in a statement.
The declaration makes it one of few Chinese companies who have publicly pulled out of Russia. While many Western brands and companies have withdrawn from the Russian market in protest of its invasion of Ukraine, many Chinese firms have continued operating in the country. China continues to refrain from directly criticizing Russia over the war.
The suspension comes over a month after vice prime minister of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov wrote an open letter appealing to DJI to block the sales of their drones in Russia, alleging that the Russians were using “DJI products in Ukraine in order to navigate their missile to kill civilians.”

POKROVSK, Ukraine — As Russian forces intensify their shelling of eastern Ukraine, more people are leaving their homes in search of safety.
In Pokrovsk, a town in the Donetsk region, people lined up Tuesday to board a train headed to the far west of the country along the border with Hungary and Slovakia. 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, about 70 kilometers (40 miles) from Pokrovsk, was under heavy fire for four days and everything was 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.

UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. says Secretary-General António Guterres and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed in principle that the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross should be involved in the evacuation of civilians from a besieged steel plant in Ukraine’s southeastern city of Mariupol.
U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said that during their one-on-one meeting Tuesday, Guterres and Putin “discussed the proposals for humanitarian assistance and evacuation of civilians from conflict zones, namely in relation to the situation in Mariupol.”
The sprawling Azovstal steel plant has been almost completely destroyed by Russian attacks but it is the last pocket of organized Ukrainian resistance in Mariupol.
An estimated 2,000 troops and 1,000 civilians are said to be holed up in bunkers underneath the wrecked structure.
Dujarric said that following the Guterres-Putin agreement in principle, discussions will be held with the U.N. humanitarian office and the Russian Defense Ministry on the evacuation.

WASHINGTON — The State Department says U.S. diplomats have begun returning to Ukraine by making day trips to temporary offices in the western city of Lviv from neighboring Poland.
The department said the first group of diplomats crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border and traveled to Lviv on Tuesday morning before returning to Poland later in the day.
The step came just two days after Secretary of State Antony Blinken informed Ukrainian leaders during a secrecy-shrouded visit to Kyiv that the U.S. would start restaffing its diplomatic facilities in Ukraine this week.
State Department spokesperson Ned Price said the agency has accelerated its review of reopening the U.S. embassy in Kyiv, which was closed shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. He said operations at the embassy would resume as soon as possible depending on the security situation in the capital. | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Live-updates-Russia-cuts-gas-supply-to-Poland-17129609.php | 2022-04-27T07:24:12Z | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Live-updates-Russia-cuts-gas-supply-to-Poland-17129609.php | false | 10 |

Regardless of how appealing many of them are in home gardens and landscapes, vines are flagrantly exploitative. They rely on shrubbery, trees or anything they can climb on for support. As they reach the tops of their supports, they extend their foliar canopies above. Vines have no reservations about overwhelming and maybe killing their own supporters.
Vines climb with clinging roots, twining stems, tendrils, twining leaves, or even thorns or spines. Some vines are annuals or perennials. The most aggressive or destructive sorts are woody plants. Some creep along the ground while young, and then climb when they find support. Some mature to support their own weight as they lose their original support.
English ivy and Algerian ivy, in their juvenile forms, can be practical ground cover plants. However, when they encounter shrubbery, trees or buildings, they become clinging vines that can overwhelm their supports, and ruin infrastructure. As they mature, clinging vines evolve into shrubbier and obtrusively bulky adult growth that blooms and produces seed.
The wrong vine can be a major problem.
Boston ivy, which incidentally is not actually ivy, is more practical as a clinging vine than the other ivies. It does not grow as ground cover anyway. Nor does it develop bulky adult growth. However, it also has limitations. Because it attaches to its supports with clinging tendrils, it is only practical for surfaces that it can not wreck, such as reinforced concrete.
Bougainvillea is a delightful and shrubby vine. It neither clings to surfaces nor grips onto support by twining. It simply generates long and vigorous canes that eventually lie down onto its surroundings. Long thorns help to anchor these canes in place. Canes should be satisfied with trellises, but sometimes mingle with shrubbery or trees, or spill over fences.
Carolina jessamine, lilac vine and mandevilla climb with twining stems, but are relatively docile. Star jasmine, which performs well both as a ground cover plant and as a climbing vine, can crush flimsy lattice with its twining vines. Wisteria might crush substantial trellis beams. Passion flower climbs with wiry tendrils, but can be overwhelmingly voluminous.
Highlight: Red Passion Flower Vine
The mostly white and blue common passion flower likely remains the most popular. After all, it is the weirdest. Elaborate and disproportionate floral parts imply that it is of another planet. Red passion flower, Passiflora racemosa, although less peculiar, is perhaps a bit more colorful. Its brick red flowers bloom randomly for as long as weather remains warm.
Flowers are about three or four inches wide. They develop in open racemes that seem to spread out somewhat evenly over the exterior of their foliage. Bloom is not profuse, but is somewhat continuous until autumn. Newer flowers replace older flowers within the same racemes. Leaves are as wide as their flowers, with three blunt lobes and axillary tendrils.
The lushly evergreen foliage can get shabby through winter, or completely ruined by just mild frost. It regenerates vigorously though. Aggressive pruning as winter finishes delays bloom, but promotes vigorous growth. Vines can potentially reach more than twenty feet. Fruit is rare without manual pollination. Fruit flavor can be bland without tropical warmth. | https://www.canyon-news.com/vines-are-aggressive-social-climbers/157647 | 2022-04-27T07:28:46Z | https://www.canyon-news.com/vines-are-aggressive-social-climbers/157647 | false | 5 |

Thousands of 'Ballot Mules' Delivered Tens of Thousands of Votes for Biden? NY Post Publishes Devastating Claims
A new report that analyzed the forthcoming movie from conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza warns that based on the 2020 election, Democrats have a “cunning plan” for the future.
After previewing the documentary “2,000 Mules,” New York Post columnist Miranda Devine wrote that “pesky evidence is starting to emerge of systematic schemes to subvert the electoral process — which must not be allowed to happen again if we are to restore faith in elections.”
Devine called the movie — which debuts next month — “the most compelling evidence to date” concerning the race between then-President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden and said research conducted by the election integrity group True the Vote reveals what appears to be “suspicious ballot harvesting.”
The Western Journal reached out to the Biden White House for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
The research Devine cited relied on sophisticated tracking and surveillance video to reach its conclusions.
True the Vote acquired 3 trillion geo-location signals from cellphones that were near ballot drop boxes and election nonprofits in the weeks leading up to the Nov. 3, 2020 vote.
“Then they went searching for ‘mules,’ operatives who picked up ballots from election NGOs — such as Stacey Abrams’ outfit, ‘Fair Fight Action’ — and then carried them to different drop boxes, depositing between three to 10 ballots in each box before moving to the next,” Devine wrote.
Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote, said she chose the term “mule” for the people involved in the operation because “it felt a lot like a cartel, it felt like trafficking … This is in its essence ballot trafficking … You have the collectors. You have the stash houses, which are the nonprofits. And then you have the mules that are doing the drops.”
Devine wrote that the network included individuals in battleground states who collected ballots from organizations that were ostensibly out to help everybody vote and then put them in drop boxes, a few at a time.
“The extent of the operation is jaw-dropping,” she said.
“When a mule is matched with video, you can see the scheme come to life,” she wrote.
Devine noted one snippet from the film.
“A car pulls up at a drop box after midnight. A man gets out, looks around surreptitiously, approaches the box, stuffs in a handful of ballots and hightails it out of there. Then he goes to the next box, again and again,” she wrote.
D’Souza said the efforts of the mules could have swung the election based on his contention that at least 380,000 potentially fraudulent votes were tracked by the project.
“Shockingly, even this narrow way of looking at just our 2,000 mules in these swing states gives Trump the win with 279 electoral votes to Biden’s 259,” he said.
Devine said that’s hard to prove. “There is no way to scrutinize those ballots now and see if they are fraudulent but if we must have drop boxes at election time, they need to be secure and under 24/7 surveillance,” she said.

She said Republicans cannot spend all of their time on the 2020 election because it “makes them look like sore losers.”
However, she also noted an interview with Trump in which he compared the election to a diamond theft at Tiffany’s.
“There’s no getting the diamonds back now. But we can stop the store being robbed again,” Devine wrote.

The tussle among senior Congress leaders for one-upmanship is no secret, but the coming up of posters at Parwanoo, gateway to Himachal, terming CLP Leader Mukesh Agnihotri as “Himachal ka Bhavishya” has virtually triggered a war of words in the party. While no leader is directly talking about it, insiders say many leaders, who are claimants for the CM’s post in case the Congress wins, are accusing Agnihotri of creating bickering within the party through such acts. While suspense remains over who put up the posters but it is obvious it is the handiwork of a loyalist of the CLP leader. One wonders if such loyalists are supporters or enemies.
Wrong feedback
Bureaucracy failed to provide correct information to the Chief Minister regarding the number of people coming for AAP rally in Kangra this week. As per the information provided by police officials, the ruling party was expecting that AAP could manage just 30 buses for the rally. However, many were surprised when AAP managed to hired many more buses to bring people to the rally venue.
Flip flop leaves students in lurch
Himachal was the first state to introduce RUSA in 2014 in a haste to avail grant. Faulty implementation created plethora of problems which have not been resolved. Now the government is in a hurry to implement the New Education Policy 2020. The semester system started under RUSA
was reverted to an annual system after the BJP came to power and now again semester system would be re-introduced leaving students in lurch. The government implemented RUSA in a hurry and now it is adopting NEP in the same manner, said a professor.

Follow-on collaboration between ViGeneron and Daiichi Sankyo allows the companies to create and validate vgAAV-based therapeutic candidates
ViGeneron and Daiichi Sankyo have agreed a follow-on collaboration to evaluate ViGeneron’s adeno-associated virus vectors (vGAAVs) for delivering Daiichi Sankyo’s novel therapeutic protein to treat prevalent eye diseases.
The two companies have been working on a programme together since early 2021. The follow-on collaboration allows them to create and validate vgAAV-based therapeutic candidates for the undisclosed target through in vivoanimal studies.
ViGeneron’s two novel vgAAV vectors were identified and characterised through a unique and stringent in vivoselection procedure, where an AAV2-based peptide-display library was intravenously administered in mouse models followed by the isolation of vector DNA from target cells after only 24 hours.
“Based on our partnership and findings, to date, we look forward to a successful follow-on collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo and potentially to developing a new sustained therapy that will address a dire need for many patients suffering from prevalent eye diseases,” commented Dr Caroline Man Xu, co-founder and CEO of ViGeneron.
“Furthermore, the advancement of our research agreement exemplifies the potential of our intravitreally injected vgAAV vectors for large and commercially significant disease areas,” she added.
ViGeneron is currently advancing its proprietary gene therapy pipeline to treat ophthalmic diseases, while partnering with leading biopharmaceutical players in retinal diseases, central nervous system conditions and other disease areas. The company’s two novel next-generation gene therapy platforms are geared towards addressing the limitations of existing adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapies. | https://www.pharmatimes.com/news/vigeneron_and_daiichi_sankyo_to_develop_therapy_for_eye_diseases_1447608 | 2022-04-27T07:35:49Z | https://www.pharmatimes.com/news/vigeneron_and_daiichi_sankyo_to_develop_therapy_for_eye_diseases_1447608 | true | 1 |
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Memphis Grizzlies keep proving that no deficit is too deep to claw their way back to victory.
And Ja Morant is getting tired of playing from behind, no matter how good the wins feel. He wants to see the Grizzlies start like they did in their easiest win of this series in Game 2.
“Not give them too much life,” Morant said. "Go ahead and come out and play hard. Play with energy. Start early. Last three games, we haven’t played our basketball. Weren’t knocking down shots, but we battled. Me personally, I’m giving it my all. Ready to lay down.”
The NBA's Most Improved Player scored 18 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter, including the final 13 for Memphis, in rallying the Grizzlies from a 13-point deficit with 9:38 left. Morant's final bucket, a layup with a second left, lifted Memphis to a 111-109 victory and a 3-2 lead in their first-round Western Conference series.
This deficit was half the 26-point shortfall Memphis clawed its way back from, not counting the 25-point deficit late in the third, in winning Game 3. That tied the Grizzlies' franchise record for the biggest comeback victory.
According to ESPN, that makes Memphis the first NBA team ever to post multiple comeback wins after trailing by double-digits going into the fourth quarter in a single playoff series. The Miami Heat in 2020 were the only other team that managed to rally from double-digit deficits in the fourth quarter twice in a single postseason.
Bane says there's no quit in these Grizzlies.
“We’re at our home arena down, down late,” Bane said. "Their players talking about ‘Oh, they’re about to fold, about to fold.’ I knew that wasn’t the case, and we just kept chipping away, kept trusting and what we do got some stops and was able to make some shots down the stretch.”
Minnesota led 99-88 only to be outscored 23-10 over the final 6:43, and Memphis outscored the Timberwolves 34-27 in the final quarter. The Grizzlies also outrebounded the Wolves 18-10 in the fourth, and 10 offensive rebounds led to a 12-0 edge in second-chance points.
The biggest was Brandon Clarke tipping a missed 3 from Tyus Jones out where Morant snagged it before knocking down his lone 3 of the game. That gave Memphis its first lead since the first quarter.
The Wolves missed 4 of 14 at one stretch in the fourth, part of an ugly shooting night where Memphis clanked dunks and missed wide-open 3-pointers. Morant, the 2020 NBA Rookie of the Year, was 9 of 22 for the game, and Dillon Brooks was 3 of 18 — 1 of 10 from 3 with his lone make coming in the fourth quarter.
These are two of the NBA's youngest teams this season, and that youth and inexperience in the intense pressure of the postseason certainly has played a part in this series. Minnesota easily can look at the stats and be convinced this is a series the Wolves should clinch.
Instead, Memphis takes a 3-2 series lead into Game 6 on Friday night looking to clinch its first series since 2015.
“No doubt about it, but all credit to Memphis," Minnesota coach Chris Finch said. "They hang strong, they don’t beat themselves, and we got to do a better job of making little plays when it matters most.”

When it comes to famous alums, Michigan has plenty. But one who has been prominent that’s in current media is Rich Eisen, of NFL Network and Peacock fame, and formerly a SportsCenter legend on ESPN.
On his Peacock show, The Rich Eisen Show, Eisen interviewed anticipated first-round pick Garrett Wilson, the wide receiver from Ohio State. While the interview was a respectful back-and-forth and Eisen clearly took a liking to Wilson, the Wolverine couldn’t help razzing the Buckeye.
As the duo discussed Wilson’s draft prospects, the former OSU standout shared that Detroit was a team he had met with, and that led Eisen to all sorts of ideas.
“Would you have a problem playing in the state of Michigan, Garrett?” Eisen asked.
“No. The rivalry is only one week of the season, (Week 13),” Wilson said. “We live it out always. I don’t really like the team up north, but I’ve gotta help my team out and if I was in Detroit, that doesn’t change anything.”
“What state is Detroit in, Garrett? What state is Detroit in?”
“I forget! I can never really get it! I don’t remember. I just know Detroit.”
“If you do play there, Garrett, you’re gonna have to write your name and address down somewhere! You’re not gonna put a red X on your paperwork, are you?”
Wilson said that he would be putting an X through the M in Michigan the week that Ohio State plays the Wolverines, but every other week, he wouldn’t.
But, it gets better.
After that repartee, Wilson got wise to what Eisen was doing and called him out for being an alum of the University of Michigan, to which, Eisen couldn’t help but wish that he would end up playing for the Lions, just so he’d have to deal with having to live in the state which has a name he refuses to say.
“I know you went to the team up north!” Wilson said. “I know you’ve got the bragging rights for 365!”
“Oh, I’m sitting up in my chair right now, Garrett, that’s for sure,” Eisen said. “I have no problem saying Ohio State, I have no problem writing the letter. I’m cool with it. I just don’t understand this ‘team up north’ thing, and can’t write the letter M.”
Wilson was fine with that, he notes, saying: “All jokes aside, it’s a great state.”
While it seemed to be mostly harmless banter, Eisen got the upper hand of the exchange when Wilson was departing the show, as he said, “Thank you, Mr. Eisen.”
That salutation was one that Eisen took objection to, and he gave Wilson two options to use instead.
“It’s Rich — or, based on last November — your father!” Eisen said. “Was that wrong?”
Classic.
Of course, it was all in good fun, and for the first time in a long time, Michigan fans can talk all they want.
He's one of the top wide receivers available on this year's #NFLDraft but that didn't stop @richeisen from razzing @OhioStateFB @GarrettWilson_V about what happened last fall in the Big House:#NFL pic.twitter.com/N0eMMq7uoC

London Stock Exchange says Refinitiv integration on track
By Huw Jones
LONDON, April 27 (Reuters) - The London Stock Exchange Group said on Wednesday it was on track to meet financial targets as it continued to integrate its $27 billion acquisition of data and analytics company Refinitiv.
LSEG said first quarter total income was up 6.3% with good growth across all divisions, and up 6.8% after adjusting for actions taken by the group in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which led to the exchange stopping trading in its Russian listings.
The exchange also suspended all products and services for customers in Russia, and halted the distribution of news and commentary in the country.
LSEG bought Refinitiv in January 2021, transforming the exchange into a major data player, but the move raised concerns among investors that it had bitten off more than it could chew, particularly after outages.
Since then nerves have steadied as LSEG made progress in integrating the new company and meeting savings targets.
LSEG said on Wednesday that 25 million pounds ($31 million) in 'run rate' revenue synergies had been achieved by the end of March and said it was "on track to meet all financial targets".
"Our ability to invest for growth, make strategic acquisitions and return capital to shareholders demonstrates the strength of the Group and its high-quality recurring revenues," LSEG Chief Executive David Schwimmer said in a statement.
"The group is well positioned and we look forward to further progress during the rest of 2022," he added.
LSEG said a significant proportion of net proceeds from its $1.1 billion divestment of its wealth back office unit BETA+ will be returned to shareholders via a share buyback, which is likely to start in the third quarter of this year.
LSEG distributes news and commentary from Reuters as part of its products. Thomson Reuters, the parent of Reuters News, holds a minority stake in the LSE after the exchange bought Refinitiv from it.

Benzema explains why he took high-risk Panenka penalty for Real Madrid in 4-3 loss to Manchester City
Karim Benzema has explained why he took a high-risk Panenka penalty for Real Madrid in their 4-3 loss to Manchester City.
Benzema scored twice in a thrilling contest at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night, including the all-important final goal of the game that gives the Blancos real hope of a comeback in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final tie.
The veteran striker showed nerves of steel from the penalty spot to chip the ball down the centre, taking his overall tally of goals for the season to 41 in the process.

What did Benzema say about his Panenka?
Benzema missed two penalties in Madrid's last Liga outing against Osasuna, but those failures did nothing to shake his self-confidence and prevent him from stepping up again on Europe's biggest stage.
Asked why he chose to try a Panenka against Man City, the 34-year-old told reporters post-match: "I always have it in my head that if you don't take a penalty, you will never miss a penalty.
"That's mental confidence and that's all. I have a lot of confidence in myself, so I do it and it turns out well."
Ancelotti hails Benzema's 'strong character'
Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti was full of praise for Benzema after his latest showing, and also revealed the Frenchman practised the new penalty technique prior to the trip to Manchester.
"I think he changed because the last two penalties were not good," the Italian tactician said. "He tried in training, I didn't know how he would shoot. He chose this [Panenka] and he did really well, showing strong personality and character.
"It's not easy in the semi-final of the Champions League to shoot a penalty like this."

It is now known to the world that Elon Musk is set to have Twitter in his hands anytime soon, and it echoes new possibilities to the company’s employees. Apart from the obvious company structure changes that might happen within the company upon the official takeover of Musk, many fear the chances of layoff. With this, the current Twitter CEO, Parag Agrawal, held a virtual all-hands call on Monday to ease the tension. However, as many would expect, the answers heard won’t be satisfying for anyone currently working for the company.
In the call, an informant told The Verge that the plans for layoffs are not clear “at this time.” The same goes for the Agrawal, who can keep his position as the company’s CEO while the acquisition is still happening. After the deal is closed later this year, the Twitter board will also face dissolution, making the future just more vague and uncertain for its employees. “There is indeed uncertainty about what will happen after the deal closes,” Agrawal reportedly said in the call.
The uncertainty of Twitter’s path, apparently, extends to its users on the platform. With Musk believing that “free speech is essential to a functioning democracy,” changes in the content moderation of the social media giant are probably coming. And although the closing of the deal is still months away, some users are already testing Musk’s concept of free speech after his tweet saying, “I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means.”
“In fairness to Elon, He has not suspended my account (yet),” said Matt Navarra, a well-known social media industry expert who got blocked by Musk (after calling out the billionaire for lying about deleting the Facebook pages of Tesla and SpaceX). “This still fits with his views on free speech. People can say what they want, but he will use the platform’s features to block out views from those people he personally doesn’t want to see.”
Jeff Bezos, meanwhile, quote tweeted a post from an NYT reporter implying that Musk’s purchase of Twitter can give the Chinese government leverage since “Tesla’s second-biggest market in 2021 was China” and “Chinese battery makers are major suppliers for Tesla’s EVs.”
“Interesting question,” tweeted Bezos. “Did the Chinese government just gain a bit of leverage over the town square?” Nonetheless, Bezos followed the tweet with two more comments negating his own question (for some reasons you can speculate on your own). “My own answer to this question is probably not. The more likely outcome in this regard is complexity in China for Tesla, rather than censorship at Twitter. But we’ll see. Musk is extremely good at navigating this kind of complexity.”
Musk also seems to start feeling more free now in delivering his old antics on the platform. The Verge experienced it right away after posting a link to its article “How to deactivate your Twitter account” and receiving a reply that says: “Don’t worry, I can do it for you Verge.” | https://mspoweruser.com/the-future-of-twitter-with-musk/ | 2022-04-27T07:52:38Z | https://mspoweruser.com/the-future-of-twitter-with-musk/ | false | 1 |

A trading source in Shanghai said that, with the European Union banning imports of coal from Russia, coking coal and pulverized coal injection-grade materials will likely flow into countries that are friendlier with Russia, such as China and India.
Russia exported 32 million tonnes of coking coal and PCI materials in 2021, up by 26% year on year. Russia accounts for about 30% of the coking coal requirements of the European Union, Japan, and South Korea.
India imported 1.15 million tonnes of coking coal from Russia in 2021, accounting for 2% of India’s total imports and 3.6% of Russia’s coking coal exports. India imported 56.27 million tonnes of coking coal in 2021.
India plans to double its imports of Russian coking coal, steel minister Ramchandra Prasad Singh said on March 27.
China imported 1.91 million tonnes of coking coal from Russia in the first two months of 2022, up by 126% from the same period last year. In 2021, China imported 10.76 million tonnes of coking coal from Russia, China’s second-largest supplier. Mongolia was the largest supplier of coal to China, the country’s customs data showed.
Russia plans to expand its coal exports to China to 100 million tonnes in three to five years from 52 million tonnes in 2021, Sergei Mocharynikov, an official of the country’s energy ministry, told Russian media.
“But Russian coking coal and PCI prices need to be more competitive compared with Chinese domestic materials of similar types so that it can attract buying interest,” the trading source in Shanghai said. “Also, China alone cannot absorb large extra volumes of Russian coking coal.”
Payments issue to be solved
Many market sources in China said they were taking a wait-and-see stance and did not consider procuring Russian coking coal or PCI once the sanctions were in place, especially with some Russian financial institutions being removed from the Swift banking community.
But there have still been trades of seaborne Russian coking coal and PCI concluded, with payment done by letters of credit, sources heard.
A second trader source in Shanghai said that recent trades had been concluded by telecommunications transfer or documents against payment, and some Russian coal miners accepted payment in Chinese yuan.
“But telecommunications transfer and documents against payment are riskier compared with letter of credit,” he added. “In the longer term, more Russian coal miners will accept Chinese yuan payment.”
A steel mill source in eastern China said that some Chinese are still issuing letters of credit, but they are scrutinizing each application when it comes to any trades related to Russia.
A steel mill source in India said that payment will not be a big issue unless the country imposes sanctions on Russia, because the Indian government is working on enabling ruble-rupee transactions.
He was referring to an Indian rupee-ruble trade mechanism that the president of the Federation of Indian Export Organizations said could be established soon. | https://www.fastmarkets.com/insights/russia-could-ship-more-coking-coal-to-china-india-amid-mounting-sanctions | 2022-04-27T07:57:39Z | https://www.fastmarkets.com/insights/russia-could-ship-more-coking-coal-to-china-india-amid-mounting-sanctions | false | 1 |
Coronation Street viewers finally learned what George Shuttleworth had been hiding on the ITV soap in recent scenes.
They had predicted all sorts after his weird behaviour made it clear something was going on.
From a secret woman in his life to predictions about his mother, fans were unconvinced about George's story about his needy cat.
So when scenes this week confirmed what the character's real secret was, many were left disappointed.
It was confirmed the reason he was refusing to stay at partner Eileen Grimshaw's house was because he was a loud snorer.
Eileen was stunned and told him: "I've been married to a serial killer, I can live with a bit of snoring."
"No, you can't. I think it's best we just leave it there," he added, but Eileen insisted: "Your staying over. The neighbours can think what they want. I'll find a way to help, I promise."
George had confided in Todd about just how loud his snoring was, and some viewers were soon left amused by it.
But there's more to come it seems, as George sparks worry yet again next week with his behaviour - despite his secret being out.
Spoilers for next week confirm he makes a huge mistake at work and is called out by Todd, leaving to another confession.
George finally admits that he’s been staying up every night so as not to subject her to his snoring, after Eileen wrongly believes the snoring just hasn't been that bad.
But how will she react to this, and just how bad can the snoring be?
Viewers were hoping for a much bigger or darker secret for the character, and took to Twitter on Monday to share their disappointment.
One viewer tweeted: "What a really lame story line… of all the things George could be hiding it was no other than his snoring!! Come on #corrie is that the best you can do?"
A second agreed: "George 's secret was snoring. Nicky's secret was better," as a third added: "I know this is supposed to be funny but it’s just plain old boring!"
Another fan wrote: "Snoring! That’s George ’s dark secret? What a let down."
Got any theories or thoughts on the storyline? Let us know in the comments section below.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV.

Game Recap
The shorthanded New Jersey Devils got things started against the Ottawa Senators winning the opening draw. They chipped the puck in, but the Sens got a quick clear and Thomas Chabot flipped a soft shot towards the returning Mackenzie Blackwood that he easily gloved. The Devils came right back with a Yegor Sharangovich sharp angle shot that Anton Forsberg stopped and a couple Ryan Graves shot attempts that got blocked in front. Ottawa returned the favor with a Dylan Gambrell shot from the point that Blackwood stopped. After Reilly Walsh turned the puck over in the defensive zone, the Sens chipped the puck in front for Parker Kelly but Blackwood was up to the task. The Devils came right back with Mason Geertsen (!!!) redirecting a Severson pass towards Forsberg but nothing going for the Devils. Ottawa came back with some offensive zone pressure with Blackwood making a right pad stop on Artem Zub.
The teams spent the next few minutes going back and forth in the neutral zone before a stoppage for a hand pass. Fabian Zetterlund sent a pass in front for Nolan Foote that Forsberg denied. Jesper Bratt gained the zone and made a nifty move but missed the net. The Sens came back with Tim Stutzle gaining the zone and beating his defender but Blackwood denied him. The Devils got hemmed in in their end before Geertsen (!!!!) made a little spin move and found McLeod, whose shot was deflected out of play for a TV timeout.
Mercer made a nice stick play to strip Chabot in the offensive end. The Devils came right back feeding Mercer for a shot from the point that Forsberg stopped. The Boqvist line was up next with Kuokkanen and Boqvist crashing the net. After Ottawa had some time in the offensive zone, the Devils 4th liners caught the Sens in a 4-on-2 with McLeod feeding Bastian on the doorstep, but the Sens cleared the crease. Artem Zub got called for a high stick on Ty Smith to give the Devils a chance on the power play with 5:20 left in the period.
Ottawa got a quick clear but the Devils regained the zone with a Hamilton shot from the point being blocked in front and a Sens clear. The rest of the power play was mostly uneventful until a long distance shot from Ty Smith was redirected off of the post and cleared away, as it was just out of the reach of a tap-in by Sharangovich.
After the Devils got away with a too many men penalty, the refs caught Janne Kuokkanen with a hook with 46.7 seconds remaining in the period. The Sens worked the puck down low thanks to some miscommunication with led to Ryan Graves being out of position. Brady Tkachuk found Thomas Chabot with the one-touch pass to make it 1-0 Ottawa, which was also the score after 20 minutes of play. Rough break for a Devils team that otherwise was fine in the period, as they played with more energy and urgency than they did in the Detroit game.
The Sens took control off the second period opening faceoff and wasted no time adding to their lead as Brady Tkachuk got position on Damon Severson on a loose puck behind the crease. Tkachuk found Drake Batherson in front to make it 2-0 Ottawa.
The Devils were quiet over the next few minutes until a feed in front for McLeod was blocked away. The Sens set up Batherson in the high slot for a blast that was off the mark and Blackwood made a nice stop on a chance in front by Alex Formenton on a partial breakaway. Forsberg denied Dougie Hamilton on the other end as we went to the first TV timeout of the period.
The Devils took control off of the offensive zone draw with Graves’s shot attempt blocked out of the offensive zone. Jesper Bratt came right back with a drop pass for Sharangovich that he couldn’t get a clean shot off on. After a stoppage for a high stick, Bahl sent a shot towards the net that trickled in front for Zetterlund. Forsberg did a nice job getting over to deny him. The Devils came right back on the next shift with Zetterlund carrying it into the zone and finding Nolan Foote on a royal road pass, who roofed it to cut the deficit in half.

The Devils kept the pressure on with their fourth line as Bastian found Mason Geertsen (!!!!!!) on the doorstep, but Forsberg made the stop.
Ottawa tilted the ice over the next minute or so with the Tkachuk line but Blackwood stopped the Chabot shot for a whistle. The Devils fourth liners eventually got a clear but McLeod couldn’t connect with Geertsen. Foote worked a puck along the boards for Zacha but the Sens backcheck was strong. The Devils got their makeshift top line of Sharangovich-Mercer-Bratt on, but just missed connecting with Bratt for an easy tap-in to tie the game.
Severson supposedly caught someone (Norris?) with a high stick (the MSG cameras didn’t catch the penalty, but Norris winced like he got hit by a high stick). Either way, Ottawa was going back on the power play. Blackwood made a good save in tight on Tkachuk, but left a big rebound for Tim Stutzle with space on the short side to make it 3-1 Senators.
Severson had a chance in the final minute of the period but Forsberg made the initial stop and denied the rebound as well. Zacha found Zetterlund for a one-timer that Forsberg stopped. The Devils persistence in the final minute paid off though with Zacha winning the ensuing faceoff. After Ty Smith worked the puck along the boards, Zacha backhanded one towards the net and Foote was there on the doorstep to clean it up for his second of the night. 3-2 Sens going into the second intermission.

The Devils controlled things off of the opening draw in the third period, with Forsberg steering a Bratt shot aside and Sharangovich not quite fooling Forsberg by taking a little something off of his shot after regaining the zone. The Sens came back with some offensive zone time but Foote broke up a pass from Formenton. Sharangovich fed Mercer for a shot that was deflected away and Bratt had a wraparound attempt that was denied. Erik Brannstrom sent a long distance shot that Blackwood saved. Ottawa continued to pressure Blackwood with the netminder denying Kelly and Watson missing the net. The Devils came back with Zacha connecting with Zetterlund on a cross-ice pass and Forsberg making the stop. Scott Sabourin took exception to a a hit along the boards and went to the box for cross checking.
The Devils had a rough time early in the man advantage gaining the zone and getting established. Boqvist eventually gained the zone but Watson collected the puck near the boards and cleared. Yegor Sharangovich made a brutal pass to spring Tim Stutzle for a breakaway chance the other way. Stutzle beat Blackwood for his second of the night to make it 4-2 Ottawa, surrendering their 14th short-handed goal on the season in the process. Ottawa killed off the remainder of the Devils power play.
The Devils got back within one after nearly falling even further behind as Damon Severson made a nice play to strip Tkachuk on a partial breakaway and Sabourin missed the net. They came right back with Jesper Bratt connecting with Zacha on the seeing-eye shot to make it 4-3 Sens.

The Devils tied the game after the commercial break as Damon Severson did a good job keeping the puck in the offensive zone and fed Sharangovich down low, who beat Forsberg five-hole.

The Foote-Zacha-Zetterlund continued their strong run of play setting up Ty Smith for a shot on goal and Forsberg also stopped Hamilton from the point as well. The Sens came right back with a point-blank chance for Gambrell that Blackwood probably made his best stop of the night on. The Devils and Sens each traded shots off of the post before the Devils got a couple more chances against Forsberg. Blackwood made another big stop on a partial breakaway chance by Gambrell thanks to an errant pass by Zacha.
The Devils probably got away with a boarding call in the closing minutes, much to the chagrin of the Sens fans in attendance. Sharangovich sent a shot towards the net that deflected out of play with 1:40 to go in regulation. The Sens came back sending a puck in front for Gambrell that Blackwood covered up. The Devils iced the puck with 1:02 to go. Mercer supposedly cross-checked Norris along the boards (he didn’t, Norris lost an edge cutting back and Mercer happened to be right there) with 53.2 to go for another Ottawa power play. The Devils got an important clear and Severson got a second critical clear to send the game to overtime.
The Sens started overtime with 1:06 in carryover penalty time. Zacha won the opening draw and punched the puck in deep to kill more time and Graves got a big clear. The Sens came back with a partial 2-on-1 but Graves made a big play laying out to deny the opportunity. McLeod intercepted a pass as time expired for one final clear and the Devils got through the penalty. Boqvist lost the ensuing faceoff and the Sens got reset with Formenton trying to feed Gaudette. The Devils took control of the loose puck but lost it along the boards, leading to a few shots by the Sens. Stutzle found Batherson entering the zone. Batherson made a nice toe-drag move to beat Ty Smith, and slipped it past Blackwood to win the game for the Senators. 5-4 Sens win.

The Opposition Opinion: Visit Silver Seven Sens if you want to read the Ottawa perspective of this game.
Things I Liked
- Credit to the Foote-Zacha-Zetterlund line, who clearly was the Devils most dangerous line this evening. Aside from leading the Devils in xGF at .96 and HDCF, Foote and Zacha combined for the Devils first three goals.
- The Devils fourth line brought noticeable energy and even set up.....(checks notes).....Mason Geertsen (!!!!!!!!!!) for a couple scoring chances! Seriously! I’m just as surprised as you are by these developments.
- Reilly Walsh looked mostly fine in his NHL debut, although he had a couple instances where he was a little careless with the puck and was fortunate it didn’t cost him. Chalk it up to first game jitters, I suppose, but he did pick up his first NHL point on the first Foote goal.
Mixed Bag for Blackwood
If I had to sum up Mackenzie Blackwood’s first NHL game in three plus months in one sentence, I would say it looked a lot like most of his performances leading up to his shutdown.
Blackwood acknowledged in his postgame press conference that he hadn’t practiced a lot in the lead up to his return, but insisted his heel feels good. That’s the most important thing, first and foremost. Hopefully, he continues to feel good in the lead up to and through the season finale against Detroit later this week.
I have to take Blackwood at his word that he feels good, especially with his lateral movement, pushoffs, rebound control and all the stuff he needs to be on top of. I did not think he looked particularly good on the first Stutzle goal between the big rebound and his recovery to get in position. Needless to say, he got burned there. I think Blackwood would like the Batherson game-winning goal back as well as the young Sens forward kind of slipped it under his pads after he juked Ty Smith out of his skates. That said, Blackwood also didn’t a lot of help from his teammates as he got hung out to dry on special teams.
There was some good here though with his performance. Lindy Ruff said in his postgame comments that “He (Blackwood) gave us a chance to come back.” And that is true. Blackwood made some big saves at points throughout this game. His saves on Kelly and Gambrell in particular in the third period shouldn’t just be dismissed or ignored.
Your mileage may vary in terms of what you were hoping to see from Blackwood in his return. I don’t think anyone can come away from tonight or the Detroit game on Friday definitively saying he’s back. 29 saves on 34 shots isn’t good enough. But if all you wanted for Blackwood was for him to make it through the game healthy, then mission accomplished, I suppose. Either way, the Devils still need to address the position this offseason, and I don’t think there was anything Blackwood could’ve done tonight to change any opinions there.
Can We Learn About Guys or Not?
I get that the win-loss results are what they are at this point, but with so many young players up from Utica and the team in evaluation mode, can we at least attempt to put guys in positions they’re not used to being in at this level and seeing how they respond?
Case in point, Kevin Bahl and Reilly Walsh didn’t play after the 3:24 to go mark of the third period tonight. I get it. They’re two rookie defensemen, one of them making their NHL debut. And I get the Devils had to kill a penalty to close out regulation and start overtime.
I’ve seen enough of Ty Smith this year to know he’s not good defensively. I’ve seen him get burned before in 3-on-3 overtime. It doesn’t take a genius watching to know that any forward with a modicum of puck-handling ability can and likely will make Smith look ridiculous, and sure enough, that’s exactly what happened. Do things go differently if Ruff trusts Bahl enough to play him at any point in the overtime?
I understand that the default “200 Hockey Men” mindset is that rookies will make mistakes and need to be stapled to the bench, but at Game 80 of a lost season, what do you have to lose experimenting with what you have. You don’t need to look any further than Nolan Foote as a perfect example of this. Foote got one shift in the third period of the loss against the Red Wings on Sunday. That was a game they basically trailed throughout and the Devils only dressed 11 forwards to begin with due to the bug going around the team. Tonight, he scored twice and was part of arguably the best Devils line.
It’s just more questionable coaching by a coaching staff that looks overmatched, which brings me to this.....
Special Teams Sinks Devils Again, but are Changes Finally Coming?
The Devils penalty kill has continued their recent struggles, surrendering two more PPGs in three opportunities. They’re killing penalties at a 75.4% rate since March 1 (26th in the league) and have been trending in the wrong direction for awhile now after stabilizing things in the middle of the season. The Devils power play was 0-2 tonight, barely threatening to score and extending their league lead in short-handed goals allowed to 14. None of this is new or surprising if you’ve been following this team throughout the year, and even dating back to last year.
There may finally be some changes coming though, per a report from ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski.
Devils like what Ruff's done in developing young players like Bratt and Hughes, whom I'm told is a Lindy fan. Also, they recognize that coaches are usually as good as their goaltending, and NJD has been in SV% basement in Ruff's 2 seasons.
— Greg Wyshynski (@wyshynski) April 26, 2022
One year left on deal. We shall see.
I would hope that with the Devils on pace for a win-loss record on par with the early 1980s teams, with more abysmal performances on special teams, and the team staring down the very real possibility of winning just 5 of their final 23 games, that they might be considering some changes. Quite frankly, I’d be concerned if they weren’t.
Let me be clear. Lindy Ruff needs to go. Alain Nasreddine, Mark Recchi, and Dave Rogalski needed to go last year and need to go now. Tom Fitzgerald, if he’s thinking about keeping any of these guys, needs to go. The fact that noted Devils fan and the closest thing we have to a Devils insider in Greg Wyshynski only puts it at 50/50, frankly, is disappointing. Even if Tom Fitzgerald has a perfect offseason, its tough to see the Devils not continue to make the same bone-headed mistakes they’re accustomed to making with this system they run, or not continue to have a bad power play or overload defenders. And that’s if they nail the offseason, which they probably won’t. I don’t know where they’re finding league average goaltending, and I’m not sure they can contend without Shesterkin-level goaltending. While part of that is a roster issue, a bigger part of it is the coaching issue.
Let’s not throw away next season before it even begins by keeping a failed coaching staff aboard. If it really is 50/50, admit the mistake, rip the band-aid off, cut your losses, and move on. I’d even be ok if they want to frame it as a retirement a la Dave Gettleman and spin it as a success that Jack Hughes developed (although I’d argue that he was always going to figure it out whether Lindy Ruff or John Fischer was the head coach). Any way you want to slice it, the time has come for this team to take the next step and try to contend. It’s not gonna happen with this staff.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) completed repairs of the runway at Bagdogra airport in north Bengal on Tuesday, allowing civil flights to operate. This airport, used jointly by the IAF and passenger flights, had been closed for nearly two weeks after cracks were detected on the primary runway.
The first civil flight landed there around 8 a.m. on Tuesday. This is the only airport that connects north Bengal to the rest of the country. The IAF is in charge of the Air Traffic Control (ATC).
“The resurfacing on the central bituminous portion of the runway has been completed on schedule. The runway was closed for two weeks to lay three flexible bituminous layers, reconstruction of non-load bearing surfaces and other works. This also comprised reconstruction of the concrete portions at each end of the runway and widening of the taxi tracks and links as per International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standards," the IAF stated.
The work was executed by Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and completed expeditiously to prevent further harassment to civilian fliers. Bagdogra also operates as a diversionary air base for the IAF for its aircraft taking off from Air Force Station, Hasimara.
Also Watch:
The IAF maintained that Bagdogra is not only important from the strategic point of view but is also crucial to promote tourism and trade in the region. It connects places like Darjeeling and the business hub of Siliguri as well as the state of Sikkim with the rest of the world.
After the repairs, nearly 8,000 passengers can use the airport daily. In the last couple of weeks, all trains from Kolkata (Howrah and Sealdah) to New Jalpaiguri ran jam packed with not only tourists but also those engaged in trade and commerce in north Bengal.

IPL 2022: Kohli will win us our upcoming games, reckons RCB coach Sanjay Bangar after defeat against RR
Royal Challengers Bangalore coach Sanjay Bangar has backed batting stalwart Virat Kohli to crush rough patch and put in match-winning performances in the next match.
- Country:
- India
Royal Challengers Bangalore coach Sanjay Bangar has backed batting stalwart Virat Kohli to crush rough patch and put in match-winning performances in the next match. Chasing a 145-run target, Bangalore's top-order failed again as they lost the four wickets for 58 runs and failed to recover from that. Talking about Kohli's rough patch, the Bangar said that Kohli will help the team win their upcoming crunch games.
Kohli was dismissed on just 9 runs while attempting a pull shot but he managed to get an edge and got caught. The batter has been going through a very rough patch this season with just 128 runs in just 9 matches. "He is a very sensible player. He has watched many ups and downs... 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," said Sanjay Bangar in a post-match press conference.
"So I would just want him to use his fighting spirit and the way he's played all his cricket to put the run of low scores behind. He has so much mental toughness that I am sure he will win us our upcoming crunch games," he added. Dropping Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli was promoted to the top of the order along with his skipper Faf du Plessis in the match against Rajasthan Royals.
"We opened with Anuj Rawat and Faf in 8 matches. But this is the combination [Virat and Faf] we want going forward, because we want our best batters open the innings in crucial games. This is our thinking," the former India opener stated. A four-wicket haul by Kuldeep Sen and an unbeaten knock of 56 runs by Riyan Parag powered Rajasthan Royals to victory by 29 runs over Royal Challengers Bangalore at MCA stadium here on Tuesday. Apart from Kuldeep, Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets while Prasidh Krishna settled for two.
With the win, Rajasthan Royals moved up to the top of the points table, with six wins in eight matches. Royal Challengers Bangalore, on the other hand, remained at fifth place, with five wins in nine games. (ANI)

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — SpaceX launched four astronauts to the International Space Station for NASA on Wednesday, less than two days after completing a flight chartered by millionaires.
It’s the first NASA crew comprised equally of men and women, including the first Black woman making a long-term spaceflight, Jessica Watkins.
“This is one of the most diversified, I think, crews that we’ve had in a really, really long time," NASA's space operations mission chief Kathy Lueders said on the eve of launch.
The astronauts were due to arrive at the space station Wednesday night, 16 hours after their predawn liftoff from Kennedy Space Center. They will spend five months at the orbiting lab.
SpaceX has now launched five crews for NASA and two private trips in just under two years. Elon Musk's company is having an especially busy few weeks: It just finished taking three businessmen to and from the space station as NASA’s first private guests.
A week after the new crew arrives, the three Americans and German they’re replacing will return to Earth in their own SpaceX capsule. Three Russians also live at the space station.
Both SpaceX and NASA officials stressed they're taking it one step at a time to ensure safety. The private mission that concluded Monday encountered no major problems, they said, although high wind delayed the splashdown for a week.
The SpaceX capsules are fully automated — which opens the space gates to a broader clientele — and they're designed to accommodate a wider range of body sizes. At the same time, NASA and the European Space Agency have been pushing for more female astronauts.
While two Black women visited the space station during the shuttle era, neither moved in for a lengthy stay. Watkins, a geologist who is on NASA’s short list for a moon-landing mission in the years ahead, sees her mission as “an important milestone, I think, both for the agency and for the country."
She credits supportive family and mentors — including Mae Jemison, the first Black woman in space in 1992 — for “ultimately being able to live my dream.”
Like Watkins, NASA astronaut and test pilot Bob Hines is making his first spaceflight. It's the second visit for the European Space Agency’s lone female astronaut, Samantha Cristoforetti, a former Italian Air Force fighter pilot, and NASA's Kjell Lindgren, a physician.
The just-completed private flight was NASA's first dip into space tourism after years of opposition. The space agency said the three people who paid $55 million each to visit the space station blended in while doing experiments and educational outreach. They were accompanied by a former NASA astronaut employed by Houston-based Axiom Space, which arranged the flight.
“The International Space Station is not a vacation spot. It’s not an amusement park. It is an international laboratory, and they absolutely understood and respected that purpose,” said NASA flight director Zeb Scoville.
NASA also hired Boeing to ferry astronauts after retiring the shuttles. The company will take another shot next month at getting an empty crew capsule to the space station, after software and other problems fouled a 2019 test flight and prevented a redo last summer.

Kassian scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two hits and served two PIM in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.
Kassian finished off the Oilers' dominant win at 18:26 of the third period. The 31-year-old winger has just one goal and one assist in 12 games in April. He's likely to remain in a bottom-six role heading into the playoffs. For the season, Kassian has six goals, 18 points, 153 hits, 63 PIM and 58 shots on net through 56 appearances. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/oilers-zack-kassian-deposits-empty-netter/ | 2022-04-27T08:23:54Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/oilers-zack-kassian-deposits-empty-netter/ | true | null |
Unstoppable Musk: Elon Locks Twitter Execs Down in Sunday Meeting That Can Clear Way for Takeover
Elon Musk is now closer than ever to owning the social media giant Twitter, according to recent reporting from sources with insider knowledge.
While Twitter refused to hear out Musk’s initial offer, apparently the company is warming up to his proposition.
After the self-made billionaire announced he had acquired $46.5 billion in financing for his bid for the company last week, Twitter decided to take “a fresh look at the offer” and is now “more likely than before to seek to negotiate,” multiple sources told the Wall Street Journal.
“Twitter is still working on an all-important estimate of its own value, which would need to come in close to Mr. Musk’s offer, and it could also insist on sweeteners such as Mr. Musk agreeing to cover breakup protections should the deal fall apart,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
The two sides will meet to discuss Musk’s current proposal on Sunday, the report claims.
Also, according to the Wall Street Journal’s sources, whether or not the deal goes through, Musk will remain a key part of the company’s dealings going forward.
On Friday, Musk met privately with “several” shareholders of the company.
During this meeting, Musk “pledged to solve the free-speech issues he sees as plaguing the platform … whether his bid succeeds or not,” the sources said.
Aron Solomon, the chief legal analyst for Esquire Digital, has correctly predicted Musk’s moves thus far in a series of interviews with The Western Journal.
Three days before Musk announced his initial offer to buy up 100 percent of the company’s shares, Solomon predicted the billionaire would do so “within days.”
At the time, Solomon also predicted this process would not be drawn out over a long period of time. In his view, Musk needed to act within days or weeks in order to leverage the news cycle to his advantage.
“Like Elon Musk or not, one thing that we know is that he’s able to take things from zero to 60 very quickly, whether it’s SpaceX or Tesla or anything that he wants to do,” Solomon told The Western Journal.
News that Twitter will be willing to “negotiate,” may seem like a moot point to some, given that Musk previously stated his initial offer would also be his final offer.
However, in a more recent interview with The Western Journal, Solomon posited that Musk was planning all along to up his offer.
In an email to The Western Journal on Tuesday, Solomon wrote that the plan will likely involve Musk upping his offer to investors from $54.20 per share — a 54 percent premium over the share price the day before Musk began investing in the company — to $60-$61 per share.
In the days since his initial offer, the billionaire has become increasingly, publicly antagonistic towards Twitter board members, which Solomon claims has given Musk a huge advantage.
“This is a key. Elon Musk as the white knight. Between this positioning and compelling second offer, it might be too much to turn down,” Solomon wrote in the email.
“Essentially, if Elon Musk wants Twitter badly enough it’s going to be extremely hard to stop him from acquiring it.”

HODGENVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A new trail designed to engage children and families in outdoor recreation has opened at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park.
The Track Trail was dedicated last week and offers a series of self-guided brochures to make hiking fun, a statement from the National Park Service and Kids in Parks program said. Activity guides encourage children to find items hiding in nature and brochures provide educational information that connect families to the environment, the statement said.
The Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park partnered with the Kids in Parks program to offer the first Track Trail in Kentucky, said park Superintendent Catherine Bragaw.
"This program provides fun learning as families explore the trails on the old Sinking Spring Farm,” Bragaw said. “We hope that the program’s activities and incentives will encourage families and youth to spend more time in the outdoors.”
The Kids in Parks program has 229 other Track Trails across the country that aim to introduce children to natural wonders on public lands. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/New-trail-at-Lincoln-birthplace-designed-to-17129688.php | 2022-04-27T08:27:10Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/New-trail-at-Lincoln-birthplace-designed-to-17129688.php | true | 12 |
For NPR's Margot Adler, it was the ride of a lifetime. After decades of looking up at the blimps that prowl the skies over New York City, Adler recently got the chance to drive one.
"When you see a blimp up in the sky -- and I see a lot of them, living in Manhattan -- you don't see the people in the gondola," Adler says. "Now I know intellectually that people are sitting in this little cabin below the part I see -- the big helium structure with the words Goodyear or MetLife or Fujifilm -- but there's a part of me that always believed that if there were really people in there, they were riding in that huge helium-filled egg."
Adler freed herself of that misconception when she was offered the opportunity to co-pilot the Fujifilm Blimp. Staffed by 22 people, the blimp is moored at Floyd Benett Field in Brooklyn. Guided by pilot Mike Hans, who's been flying the airship for 13 years, Adler helped steer the blimp over New York's Coney Island. The experience "felt like driving a floating car," she says.
"The view was spectacular, even on a foggy day," Adler says. "But after we landed, I realized I would never again think of airships as floating eggs."

US promises more Ukraine aid, Biden announces veteran envoy
NEAR THE POLISH-UKRAINIAN BORDER (AP) — Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Monday after a secrecy-shrouded visit to Kyiv that Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy is committed to winning his country’s fight against Russia and that the United States will help him achieve that goal.
“He has the mindset that they want to win, and we have the mindset that we want to help them win,” Austin told reporters in Poland, the day after the three-hour face-to-face meeting with Zelenskyy in Ukraine.
Austin said that the nature of the fight in Ukraine had changed now that Russia has pulled away from the wooded northern regions to focus on the eastern industrial heartland of the Donbas. Because the nature of the fight has evolved, so have Ukraine’s military needs, and Zelenskyy is now focused on more tanks, artillery and other munitions.
“The first step in winning is believing that you can win,” Austin said. “We believe that they can win if they have the right equipment, the right support, and we’re going to do everything we can ... to ensure that gets to them.”
Asked about what the U.S. sees as success, Austin said that “we want to see Ukraine remain a sovereign country, a democratic country able to protect its sovereign territory. We want to see Russia weakened to the point where it can’t do things like invade Ukraine.”
The trip by Blinken and Austin was the highest-level American visit to the capital since Russia invaded in late February.
They told Zelenskyy and his advisers that the U.S. would provide more than $300 million in foreign military financing and had approved a $165 million sale of ammunition.
“We had an opportunity to demonstrate directly our strong ongoing support for the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian people,” Blinken said. “This was, in our judgment, an important moment to be there, to have face-to-face conversations in detail.”
Blinken said their meeting with the Ukrainians lasted for three hours for wide-ranging talks, including what help the country needs in the weeks ahead.
“The strategy that we’ve put in place, massive support for Ukraine, massive pressure against Russia, solidarity with more than 30 countries engaged in these efforts, is having real results,” Blinken said. “When it comes to Russia’s war aims, Russia is failing. Ukraine is succeeding. Russia has sought as its principal aim to totally subjugate Ukraine, to take away its sovereignty, to take away its independence. That has failed.”
Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, praised the visit to Kyiv by Blinken and Lloyd and called them representatives of “the country that did more than any other country in the world.” Asked whether the new announcements went far enough, Kuleba said that “as long as Russian soldiers put a foot on Ukrainian soil, nothing is enough.”
“We appreciate everything that has been done, including by the United States,” Kuleba said. “We understand that, for some, what has been done is already a revolution, but this is not enough as long as the war continues.”
Kuleba warned that if Western powers want Ukraine to win the war and stop Russian President Vladimir Putin from going “deeper into Europe,” then they to speed up the delivery of the weapons requested by Ukraine. He said it takes longer for partner nations to decide to provide Ukraine with the most sophisticated equipment than it does for the Ukrainians to learn how to use it.
“It will be true to say that the United States now lead the effort in ensuring this transition of Ukraine to Western-style weapons, in arranging trainings for Ukrainian soldiers,” he said, “and I only regret that it didn’t happen a month or two months ago from the very beginning of the war.”
Meanwhile, as expected, President Joe Biden announced on Monday his nomination of Bridget Brink to serve as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. Brink, a career foreign service officer, has served since 2019 as ambassador to Slovakia. She previously held assignments in Serbia, Cyprus, Georgia and Uzbekistan as well as with the White House National Security Council. The post requires confirmation by the U.S. Senate.
The announcement comes as American diplomats prepare to return to Ukraine this coming week, although the U.S. embassy in Kyiv will remain closed for now.
Journalists who traveled with Austin and Blinken to Poland were barred from reporting on the trip until it was over, were not allowed to accompany them on their overland journey into Ukraine, and were prohibited from specifying where in southeast Poland they met back up with the Cabinet members upon their return. Officials at the State Department and the Pentagon cited security concerns.
Austin and Blinken announced a total of $713 million in foreign military financing for Ukraine and 15 allied and partner countries; some $322 million is earmarked for Kyiv. The remainder will be split among NATO members and other nations that have provided Ukraine with critical military supplies since the war with Russia began, officials said.
Such financing is different from previous U.S. military assistance for Ukraine. It is not a donation of drawn-down U.S. Defense Department stockpiles, but rather cash that countries can use to purchase supplies that they might need.
The new money, along with the sale of $165 million in non-U.S.-made ammunition that is compatible with Soviet-era weapons the Ukrainians use, brings the total amount of American military assistance to Ukraine to $3.7 billion since the invasion, officials said.
Biden has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of genocide for the destruction and death wrought on Ukraine. Just on Thursday, Biden said he would provide a new package of $800 million in military aid to Ukraine that included heavy artillery and drones.
Congress approved $6.5 billion for military assistance last month as part of $13.6 billion in spending for Ukraine and allies in response to the Russian invasion.
From Poland, Blinken plans to return to Washington while Austin will head to Ramstein, Germany, for a meeting Tuesday of NATO defense ministers and other donor countries.
That discussion will look at battlefield updates from the ground, additional security assistance for Ukraine and longer-term defense needs in Europe, including how to step up military production to fill gaps caused by the war in Ukraine, officials said. More than 20 nations are expected to send representatives to the meeting.

Polonius: What do you read, my lord?
Hamlet: Words, words, words.
Polonius: What is the matter, my lord?
Hamlet: Between who?
Polonius: I mean, the matter that you read, my lord.
Hamlet, Act II, Scene ii.
Hamlet suggests it is easy for words to lose their meaning; the ‘matter’ can be obscured. Words play a key role in business. Lack of clarity or precision can hide true meaning. Important differences may be missed, affecting subsequent decisions and actions. These three examples from our trade highlight their importance.
Style or quality?
Ever since I entered the fray in 1985, the UK wine trade has persisted in talking about quality rather than style. We all know what quality is, don’t we? It is what the trade and the critics consider to be ‘better’ wines. These usually cost more, and those at the highest prices come from places or people with an established reputation that helps to support their price.
Within the mass market the idea of a tiered approach to quality has been around for a while. The supermarkets private label wines sporting ‘special,’ ‘selection’ or similar distinguish them from the standard range, while their own label ranges are organised in tiers of good, better, and best. Rioja Joven, Crianza and Reserva do the same as they move up through the price points.
The thing is, none of these tell you the wine is ‘better’. They just tell you it costs more. They will (usually) taste different, but whether that taste is better or not is down to each drinker to decide. It all depends on what you like. In my November 2021 Harper’s piece, I referred to research carried out by Professor Charles Spence of Oxford University and commissioned by Aldi which showed that in a blind tasting most drinkers prefer cheaper to more expensive wines. This confirmed the findings of many previous studies. Higher price does not mean the average drinker is more likely to prefer the wine, so for them it is not ‘better’.
Before the keepers of the wine faith descend on me with pitchforks, I should make a qualifying point. It is of course true that if a wine style with specific characteristics is defined as the reference of what is excellent, then other wines can be measured against this defined reference in a taste test. Notwithstanding the fact that everyone tastes differently, this can give a codified view of something being ‘better’ according to these criteria. The key is that the specific criteria function as the benchmark to measure against. Not everyone will agree with the definition or the criteria – look at the styles of wine thrown up by the natural wine movement – but it least it sets a stake in the ground.
The issue, however, is that out in the real world this is not how most wine drinkers behave. They are just looking to buy something they like. What matters to them is the style of the wine, described in a language they use and understand.
Surely the trade would do better to understand that style is the key concept to help customers choose, rather than a criteria-based definition of quality? Surely this would win customer loyalty more easily and for longer? Surely this would then lead to increased sales over time?
I hear the howls from across the aisle already – what about getting customers to trade up they cry? What these objectors really mean by ‘trade up’ is ‘pay more.’ Why do we want them to pay more? Because we make more money. Then we should do so honestly, by informing the drinker of wines that meet their style preference within different price brackets and encourage them to experiment.
A restaurant owner or a restaurateur?
The difference in meaning is subtle but fundamental. Thai hotel and restaurant group Minor International recently took control of the parent company of some of London’s iconic restaurants including The Wolseley next to the Ritz on Piccadilly, the Delaunay on the Strand, and Brasserie Zédel in Piccadilly. The restaurant group was started by Jeremy King and Chris Corbin decades ago. Having gone into administration, Minor outbid King ‘s attempt to buy it back.
Writing in the Guardian, Jay Rayner saw this as corporate interests taking the soul out of a founder managed business, one with a track record of treating staff and customers well. According to Rayner, Jeremy King had stayed close to the detail of his restaurants, making daily tours of the dining rooms, and once said:
“The difference between a restaurant owner and a restaurateur is that one runs it from the boardroom and one runs it from the floor.”
Having started, run and sold both a small and a medium sized wine business, then worked at senior management level for two others, also independently owned, my experience is the wine equivalent of the restaurateur. Keeping the soul of an independently owned business intact while growing in scale is not always simple, but it can be done. Keeping that soul when the ownership passes to people with a completely different agenda and priorities is another matter altogether – especially when they must ultimately answer to the invisible hand of the stock market.
Being in the wine business or the business of wine?
The clue to the difference lies in the order of the words. Which comes first in the founder’s thinking, wine or business?
Years back, when I started out, the wine landscape was full of people who had started a small wine retailing or wholesale business because they loved the product and wanted to spend their lives surrounded by it. The mystery, romance, bonhomie, travel to vineyards, and general good feeling about a life in wine were a great allure; too great at times to spend enough time with the spreadsheets, stock control, margins and P&L forecasts that are the lifeblood of every business. Never mind the holy grail, the cash flow. Some fell by the wayside, others became a true labour of love, the owner working incredibly long hours over many days for little pay. These were wine businesses, but they were not the business of wine.
I was in the business of wine from day one. I was not passionate about wine, nor a geek. Please don’t misunderstand; I liked wine and all about it; it’s a great world to inhabit. I was interested to learn and absorb. But what I was passionate about was having a creative business idea and seeing it to fruition – in my case importing organic wine in the late 1980’s and establishing the UK’s number one organic wine distributor, then in the 1990’s employing young Australian winemakers to make modern style wines in Europe and South America for the UK multiple market. The mission was in both what we did and how we did it – treating everyone as we wanted to be treated, and building a motivated, valued, and happy team to travel the journey together. The wine mattered, but we could have applied the same approach to something else with just as much enthusiasm. This was the business of wine.
Perhaps today the realities of a harsh economic environment have left fewer in the wine business and more in the business of wine. Ultimately this is a good thing, for a business dream cannot become a reality if the business ceases to exist. To do more than exist, to thrive, we need lots of happy drinkers buying our wines. For that, we need to engage with them in a way that inspires and interests. We come back to words.

Electric Ireland customers have been urged to do one important thing ahead of new price hikes being introduced at the end of the month if they wish to save some extra money.
Customers will notice an increase in their bills from next month as the energy provider implements price hikes of 23.4 per cent for electricity and 24.8 per cent for gas from May 1.
As the cost of living crisis continues in Ireland, many people will be looking to reduce their energy consumption. However, customers have been advised to take one simple step to ensure they are not overcharged for their usage.

The evening before the price change occurs, Saturday, April 30, customers should take a picture of their metre and make a note of the reading.
After doing this, customers can contact Electric Ireland to make sure they have the most accurate and up-to-date reading to prevent any additional costs.
If customers fail to do this, the next time their meter is read, the electricity used in April may be charged at the new increased price.
Instead of emailing or phoning Electric Ireland, you can also submit your reading online here .
This hike will equate to €24.80 a month on the average residential electricity bill and €18.35 a month on the average residential gas bill.
Commenting on this recent announcement, Marguerite Sayers, Executive Director, Electric Ireland, said: 'We are acutely aware that the rising cost of living is causing difficulty for households across the country.
"Unfortunately, the unprecedented and sustained volatility of wholesale gas prices over the last 12 months means that we now need to increase our prices.
"We delayed the increase as long as we could in the hope that wholesale prices would drop back to early 2021 levels, but regrettably this has not happened."
She added: " Electric Ireland had the lowest cumulative price rises in the past 12 months. We continue to deliver the best value we can and will maintain one of the lowest standard rates in the market, even after this increase.
"We know that this is unwelcome news, but international gas prices are beyond our control and have a huge impact on our costs.
"We appreciate this is a challenging time and are committed to helping any of our customers who experience financial difficulty.
"As always, we encourage any Electric Ireland customer who has difficulty in paying their energy bill to engage with us and we will work with them to put in place a manageable payment plan."

LONDON, April 27 (Reuters) - Euro zone government bond yields rose on Wednesday, heading back towards multi-year highs after two days of falls as attention returned to high inflation and tighter monetary policy.
Surprisingly strong inflation data from Australia, showing consumer prices surged at the fastest annual pace in two decades in the last quarter boosted expectations for a rate rise there.
News that China's central bank will step up policy support for the economy, especially small firms hit by COVID-19, eased worries about risks to the global growth outlook that have pushed euro zone bond yields down this week.
In early trade, Germany's benchmark 10-year Bund yield was up around 4 basis points on the day at 0.85% DE10YT=RR, having hit roughly two-week lows on Tuesday.
Across the single currency bloc, sovereign borrowing costs rose, heading back towards recent multi-year highs.
"Australian inflation is definitely (one reason)..., so is hope of Chinese stimulus to help support the economy," said ING senior rates strategist Antoine Bouvet, explaining the move in yields.
A rise in oil prices as Russian gas supplies to Poland were halted on Wednesday and a weakening euro, which fell to a five-year low EUR=EBS, also returned the market's attention to high inflation.
Expectations that the European Central Bank will hike interest rates sooner rather than later to contain inflation has helped drive bond yields this year. But this week has seen a bit of a market rethink as concerns about the growth outlook resurfaced.
German consumer morale is projected to plunge to a historic low in May as the war in Ukraine leads to soaring costs for households, a survey showed on Wednesday.
Analysts said that after a slew of hawkish comments from ECB officials, any dovish commentary could now move markets. ECB President Christine Lagarde and chief economist Philip Lane speak later on.
"We’ve argued that with the barrage of hawkish comments of late, only doves have the power to move the market’s rate expectations," said Bouvet.
"President Lagarde in particular has adopted a more moderate tone than other Governing Council members. Any departure from the 'gradualism' rhetoric could be impactful."
Greece started the process of selling seven-year bonds after announcing on Tuesday that it had hired banks for the transaction.
Germany is scheduled to sell new 15-year Bunds, which Commerzbank's head of rates Christoph Rieger said would be an interesting test for investor demand at yields close to 1%.
German 15-year bond yields were last trading at 0.90% DE15YT=RR, having flirted with 1% over the past week.

Letters to the Editor: April 27, 2022
Don’t cancel our country’s culture
Concerning the permanent removal of library books in public school libraries, Moms for Liberty – Indian River, Florida has never suggested that all the 157 that we are concerned about should be burned or banned. We just think they would be appropriate for the public library in the adult section. Our concern also is with the process of who determines what books should be available for our children in public school libraries. We believe that parents should be included in the public school committees that determine which books should and should not be available to our minor children.
Moms for Liberty, like other parent-led organizations in our country, has come to suspect educators who over the years have been indoctrinated in creating a culture that tends to cancel the culture that made the United States one of the most respected in the world for supporting free speech and free people. Can our country be improved? Without question. But improvement needs to evolve through a representative democratic republic and not be imposed by a dominant elite that thinks it knows what is best for everyone.
Educating the young in becoming citizens useful to themselves and others of all social and economic status should not be left to educators themselves. Including those of us with life experience outside of academia is not only useful but necessary.
Jennifer Pippin, Sebastian, is the chairman of Moms for Liberty – Indian River, Florida.
Gov. DeSantis should represent all the people in what he calls ‘his’ state
Gov. Ron DeSantis is now referring to Florida as "my state.” That means we are all living in "his state,” as long as he accepts us.
He needs to remember he works for all of us. We pay his salary. A governor should represent all the people, not just the ones he chooses.
John Maravell, Fort Pierce
‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ in schools respects parents’ rights in education
Teaching high school and college English for 20-some years, I never needed to say the words “sex,” “gender,” or “trans-normalizing” once. Now we see folks with their hair on fire if teachers are told not to mention such trigger words. Why should someone have to remind educators to keep their lifestyles to themselves and not inquire of students, “How are your two mommies doing today, Pat?”
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the Parental’ Rights in Education bill so there would be less uncertainty about where those kinds of questions can be asked. He says, “At home.” Problem? No, but public school students, teachers and now some school board members want to create a problem even they say doesn’t exist.
Power-hungry folks need a platform for combat. If Indian River school board member Mara Schiff objects to calling this law the “Anti-Grooming Bill,” she is clearly wanting to join the fight. She rightly draws a distinction between what’s “age appropriate” for third-graders and what’s acceptable conversation in the 10th grade. Yet the Florida Department of Health discourages lessons of gender identity, “transitioning medications,” or sexual victimhood by the teacher. The law does not prohibit student-prompted discussion about anything.
Tempest in a teapot syndrome says this is more about the complainers than the complaint. “We will not be hated on!” There really aren’t that many victims to hate. The Williams Institute, a gender-law part of the UCLA law school, says that only 0.7% of people over 13 are transgender, but kids under 12 are too few to mention. And that estimate is on the very high side. So how many elementary kids in “gender dysphoria” are at your school?
Call mom at home, and as Pink Floyd attested long ago, “Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone.”
Norman Grant, Vero Beach
‘Trap-neuter-return’ policies are successful in reducing cat populations
Why are several of our county commissioners still "leashed" to the concept of restraining outdoor cats? Every county surrounding Indian River has implemented a successful and ongoing “trap-neuter-return” program (many for years now).
Brevard, St. Lucie and Palm Beach counties, numerous counties all over Florida, and cities worldwide are light-years ahead of us, and all reporting a reduction in the cat populations of their areas, by implementing the very simple process of trap-neuter-return. In many of these counties, including Brevard, St. Lucie and Palm Beach, the programs are also partially funded by the county, along with grants to achieve the goal of cat population reduction.
If a program has success in other counties with our exact same problem, it is hard to believe that any county commissioner would employ unreasonable persistence on an issue that clearly has a simple solution. Their obstinance to voting out the cat leash law simply proves these few commissioners either cannot understand population reduction or are not the "animal lovers" they profess to be.
Cats are shy by nature and do not approach people and bite them? That concept is ludicrous. I assure you those bitten by outdoor cats either taunted the cats, or attempted to pick them up, both very bad ideas with any stray animal. When an animal bite is caused by human provocation, we should place blame on the human, not the animal. A very few county dollars should be directed to a trial TNR program so we can work together like other counties to humanely reduce our cat population. By working together, we will find solutions, while staying "leashed" to past fallacies, nothing ever gets resolved.

Parkland shooter's jury search restarts anew amid dispute
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — (AP) — The judge overseeing jury selection for a man who murdered 17 people at a Florida high school declared that the process will start over Monday, after prosecutors and defense attorneys argued that she erred when she didn't question 11 potential jurors who said they would not follow the law before she dismissed them.
In granting the motion filed by Nikolas Cruz 's prosecutors over the strong objection of his attorneys, Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer nullified two weeks of work by prosecution and defense lawyers, forcing them to begin the entire process anew Monday.
As a result, almost 250 potential jurors who had said they could sit for a four-month trial will not be called back next month for further questioning over whether they could fairly judge Cruz, who pleaded guilty in October to murdering 14 students and three staff members at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14, 2018. More than 1,200 candidates had been screened.
The 12-member jury that will be selected after a two-month winnowing process will decide if Cruz, 23, is sentenced to death or life in prison without parole. The restart will push back opening statements from June 14 to June 21. They had already been delayed from May 31.
Prosecutor Carolyn McCann made her argument after the 11 jurors who were improperly dismissed by Scherer two weeks ago weren’t told to return to court for more questioning Monday — as had been planned — due to a miscommunication error.
Scherer said they would be brought in next week, but McCann argued that more time would be wasted if the potential jurors had to be struck anyway. She said the prosecution has just as much right to question potential jurors and to an untainted final panel as the defense.
“Neither side has been able to talk to these jurors. In a capital case, the questioning of jurors is important. It is of the utmost importance," McCann said. "This is not harmless error.”
Melisa McNeill, Cruz’s lead public defender, said Scherer should wait until next week to see if the 11 jurors returned and could be questioned.
“We believe you are committing more error" by dismissing the potential jurors now, McNeill said.
Scherer sided with the prosecution, but gave the defense until Wednesday to conduct research in an effort to change her mind.
Scherer told both sides that while they think she made a serious error by not questioning the 11 jurors, she disagrees. She said she was only deferring to their opinion to move the case forward.
Having to start again has been a possibility since April 5 after Scherer's questioning of a group of 60 potential jurors, the fifth of 21 panels screened before Monday.
With every other group, Scherer only asked if the potential jurors had any hardships that would make it impossible for them to serve from June through September. With the fifth group, however, she also asked if any would not follow the law if chosen. Eleven hands went up.
Scherer dismissed them without further questioning, drawing an objection from Cruz’s attorneys. They wanted to make sure they were not simply trying to avoid jury service. Florida jury candidates are always questioned before dismissal.
Scherer tried to have the jurors returned, but all except one had left the courthouse. She said the Broward County Sheriff’s Office would deliver summonses to them, but that was not done for unexplained reasons. Even if all returned, they still might have been disqualified because they had not been given the order that Scherer gave to other potential jurors to not discuss or read about the case.
“I will never make that mistake again,” Scherer told attorneys the next day.
David Weinstein, a Miami defense attorney and former prosecutor, said Monday that the prosecutors are correct, to a point. They, the victims and their next of kin “all have a right to a fair trial, but that right can’t trump the rights of a criminal defendant.”
“What the state is seeking to prevent, more than anything else, is a penalty phase that has been tainted at this early stage,” he said. If Cruz receives a death sentence, that could result in it being thrown out on appeal, he said. “From their perspective, the judge can wipe the slate clean and start over."
But the defense, he said, will argue on appeal that by restarting over their objection, Cruz is being subjected to double jeopardy and cannot be sentenced to death.
Robert Jarvis, a law professor at Nova Southeastern University, said the prosecution is correct that a restart is necessary. But, he said, the dispute is “another error by a judge who is in over her head.” This is Scherer's first capital case.
The jurors eventually selected will decide whether aggravating factors — the multiple deaths, Cruz's planning and his cruelty — outweigh mitigating factors such as the defendant’s lifelong mental and emotional problems, possible sexual abuse and the death of his parents.
For Cruz to receive the death penalty, the jury must vote unanimously for that option. If one or more vote against it, he will be sentenced to life without parole.
Given Cruz’s notoriety and the hatred many in the community have for him, finding jurors who can be fair promises to be an excruciatingly long process. Jurors who can serve four months complete questionnaires about their backgrounds and their beliefs on the death penalty. The answers are given to both sides, and then prospects are brought back in several weeks for further questioning.
Both sides then can try to “rehabilitate” jurors who they believe might be favorable for their side. For example, jurors who are morally opposed to the death penalty would normally be dismissed as unfair to the prosecution, but the defense can ask whether they could vote for the death penalty if the law required it. If the judge is convinced that they could, the juror could be seated.

US chemical company 3M has set aside $ 0.26 per share in the first quarter for “PFAS-related environmental commitments” in Zwijndrecht, the quarterly results showed on Tuesday. 3M has nearly 570 million shares outstanding, so it would be about $148 million – about $137 million.
The chemical company emphasizes that this amount was already communicated at the end of March. That day, 3M CEO Mike Roman paid a visit to our country and promised to invest 150 million euros in “initial remediation measures” to remedy the historical spread of PFAS in Zwijndrecht.
Those restructuring costs also lowered 3M’s earnings outlook for the remainder of the year on Tuesday. The chemical company now expects earnings of between $9.89 and $10.39 per share. Previously, earnings were between $10.15 and $10.65 per share. The prospects remained unchanged without Zwijndrecht, it was said. There will be no change in the turnover forecast. | https://shepherdgazette.com/3m-sets-aside-approximately-148-million-in-the-first-quarter-for-zwijndrecht-remediation-after-pfos-pollution-zwijndrecht/ | 2022-04-27T08:50:50Z | https://shepherdgazette.com/3m-sets-aside-approximately-148-million-in-the-first-quarter-for-zwijndrecht-remediation-after-pfos-pollution-zwijndrecht/ | true | 1 |
KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 — The High Court here has set a new date, July 25, to hear an inter-parte application for an injunction in a suit filed by Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob against the owner of Agenda Daily Media Enterprise over the publication of an article that allegedly defamed the prime minister.
Lawyer Joshua Tan, representing Ismail Sabri when contacted, said the hearing date was set by Deputy Registrar Idamasliza Maarof during the case management, conducted online (e-Review) today.
“The application will be heard before Judge Datuk Nik Hasmat Nik Mohamad via video conference,” said the lawyer, adding that the hearing of the application had earlier been set for today.
On March 4, the High Court allowed an application by Ismail Sabri, 62, to obtain an ad-interim injunction against Muhamad Izwan Mohd Zubit, 37, to maintain status quo pending the disposal of the inter-parte injunction application (two parties).
On February 18, Ismail Sabri obtained an interim injunction from the High Court for the defendant to remove the posting and from making any statements in relation to him.
Ismail Sabri, in the defamation suit which he filed in his personal capacity, alleged that on January 30, Agenda Daily had published the article on its website which contained various ill-intentioned, defamatory and untrue statements regarding him.
He said that the article, among others, implied that he was desperate to continue to be the prime minister in whatever way and was even willing to beg certain political parties not to withdraw their support for him besides inferring that he was concerned about becoming the prime minister with the shortest tenure in Malaysian history.
As a result of the publication of the article, Ismail Sabri said his reputation as Umno member and as prime minister had been tarnished, caused him emotional turmoil and had a negative effect on his political career.
Meanwhile, Muhamad Izwan, in his defence statement, claimed that he and the company had practiced responsible journalism when writing and uploading articles relating to Ismal Sabri on the website, and also denied that the article contained defamatory and malicious statements against the prime minister.
Ismail Sabri, in his reply, said that he had never appealed to any political party to maintain their support for him to continue as prime minister. — Bernama | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2022/04/27/july-25-hearing-of-inter-parte-application-for-injunction-against-agenda-da/2055935 | 2022-04-27T08:51:11Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2022/04/27/july-25-hearing-of-inter-parte-application-for-injunction-against-agenda-da/2055935 | true | 2 |

He's come close to managing in Scotland before — and Roy Keane 's links to Hibs are rapidly gathering pace.
The bookies continue to slash the odds on the outspoken Irishman replacing Shaun Maloney, but Ron Gordon and Ben Kensell might have a tough job sealing the deal.
That's if Keane's exchanges with Dermot Desmond and Peter Lawwell at Celtic are anything to go by.
Writing in his autobiography, The Second Half, Keane revealed he was on the verge of taking the top job at Celtic Park back in 2014 before Ronny Deila was appointed.
Keane, who was working as Martin O'Neill's assistant at Ireland at the time, confessed he turned down the opportunity after Celtic failed to make him feel wanted.
The Sky Sports pundit, who played for Celtic in a brief six month stint in 2006, appears to be interested in the Easter Road hot seat, but the board may have to go the extra miles to get a move over the line.
The Manchester United icon noted issues with the final package put on the table at Celtic before they turned to the Norwegian boss.
Keane wrote in his autobiography: "Celtic wanted me but they weren’t showing how much they wanted me.
"I got a call: would I go and have a chat with Dermot Desmond? I’d met him once before, in 2005, when I was signing to play for Celtic.
"I met him for a cup of tea. It was in the middle of an international week, in Dublin.
"At the end of the chat, he said: 'The job is yours'. It was all pretty straightforward. There would be one or two restrictions, about staff. They had already picked the man who would be my assistant and they were insisting on him.
"It didn’t scare me off but it did get me thinking. It wasn’t an ideal start. Were they doubting me already?
"I came back to the team hotel and spoke to Martin (O’Neill). I told him I would have a think about it. We (the Republic of Ireland) had a game against Italy at Craven Cottage in London on the following Saturday.
"The fact I had spoken to Dermot Desmond had become public knowledge. It had to, because Martin had a press conference and a few things had been leaked — as usual.
"I was delighted. It was a massive compliment. Over the years, I had always said: 'If you’re offered the Celtic job, you don’t turn it down'.
"I was in a predicament and my gut feeling was saying: 'You’re on your own with this one'.
"I asked Paul Gilroy, the League Managers’ Association lawyer, to speak to Celtic to discuss terms. Money hadn’t been mentioned yet.
"I got in touch with Celtic’s chief executive, Peter Lawwell and asked him to give me a ballpark figure before negotiations got going.
"He mentioned a figure and he said: 'But that’s it'. Paul told me there were a lot of clauses in the contract that he wasn’t happy with. And the figures were non-negotiable.
"I got my head around that. But it felt a bit too familiar. I had been down this road before when I signed for Celtic as a player.

"I felt they wanted me but they weren’t showing how much they wanted me.
"We played Italy on the Saturday and I had a message on my phone on Sunday from Dermot Desmond.
"They wanted a heads-up by tomorrow, Monday. I thought about the Celtic offer. It wasn’t rocking my boat.
"They weren’t convincing me: 'Listen, you’re the man for us'. I went to Paul Gilroy’s house (on Sunday night). There were things I wasn’t happy with in the contract. But I know if you examined every clause too carefully, you would never sign anything.
"I rang Dermot Desmond on the Monday and said: 'I’m really honoured you offered me the job but I want to stay with Martin'." | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/roy-keane-celtic-manager-talks-26808392 | 2022-04-27T08:59:33Z | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/roy-keane-celtic-manager-talks-26808392 | true | 1 |
Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, and recognized as the World's most sustainable corporation in 2021 by Corporate Knights Global 100 Index, today announced two new solutions to increase building sustainability and efficiency while enhancing occupant comfort. EcoStruxure™ Building Operation 2022, a uniquely open and integrated smart building management system, and the SpaceLogic™ Insight-Sensor, a six-in-one room sensor with anonymous real-time people counting, will be gamechangers in the journey to net-zero carbon buildings. With these additions, Schneider Electric continues to enable customers to achieve up to 40% energy savings1 with EcoStruxure Building solutions.
Making building data and automation work for comfortable, net-zero carbon buildings Complex issues of global climate change and net-zero carbon mandates are increasing demands on buildings, which generate nearly 40% of the world's CO2 emissions.2 EcoStruxure Building Operation 2022 and SpaceLogic Insight-Sensor deliver building owners and facility managers with granular visibility through open, integrated building systems and devices that easily connect and exchange information. The new offers also provide flexibility to adapt and respond to owners', occupants' and society's needs both today and in the future. And they help deliver on the promise of IoT, ensuring that valuable building data can be accessed, standardized, secured, and analyzed for maximum efficiency and predictive maintenance using AI and machine learning.
"Schneider Electric is proud to be a part of the evolution of building technology at such a pivotal time for the industry. By providing these new leading solutions we will further help building owners, facility managers and our EcoXpert partners address the increasing pressures they face head-on," says Andre Marino, SVP of Digital Buildings. "These open, data-centric solutions apply flexibility and insight to what are inherently rigid challenges of buildings. Solving these challenges is essential to meeting the demands of today's modern buildings and supporting the new balance of remote work and office time, with priorities ranging from creating safe, healthy and flexible occupant spaces, to protecting the environment from climate change."
EcoStruxure Building Operation 2022 takes open system integration to the next level
EcoStruxure Building Operation, part of the EcoStruxure Building ecosystem, is an open and scalable next-generation building management solution that provides a single control center for building and facility mangers to monitor, manage and optimize systems that were traditionally siloed. It allows bi-directional integration and exchange of any third-party system or device and does not lock-up customers' data in proprietary languages or codes.
To achieve net-zero, buildings must become more digital and more electric. Building Operation 2022 provides simple integration, visibility and actionable data from microgrids, EV charging stations and renewable energy sources, in addition to previously integrated HVAC, power, lighting, security, fire systems, and more to create sustainable, energy- andoperationally efficient, and comfortable buildings.
EcoStruxure Building Operation 2022 other new features and benefits include:
SpaceLogic™ Insight-Sensors increase occupant comfort while reducing energy use
Schneider Electric also introduces the SpaceLogic Insight-Sensor, an advanced six-in-one ceiling mounted room/zone sensor for people counting, occupancy, light, sound, temperature, and humidity sensing. Unlike traditional ventilation control that relies on schedules or CO2 levels, the SpaceLogic Insight-Sensor, which uses anonymous people-counting technology, responds to precise changes in room occupancy in real-time for optimal fresh air supply. The direct integration with EcoStruxure Building Operation enables fast response time with no additional design, configuration or commissioning costs.
When more people enter a room, the Insight-Sensor informs EcoStruxure Building Operation, which dynamically adjusts room ventilation, reacting quickly before conditions become uncomfortable. Conversely, the Insight-Sensor ensures that energy use for HVAC or lighting is reduced when rooms are at low or zero occupancy.
SpaceLogic Insight-Sensor delivers these additional features and benefits:

DETROIT — A grandmother who faced eviction here last year after she fell victim to a “fake landlord” scam is getting the chance to buy her home, lawyers connected to her case said.
June Walker, 65, signed a rent-to-own lease on a three-bedroom bungalow in 2019 and spent the next two years fixing it up, paying $550 a month to a man who claimed to work for her landlord.
She thought she’d bought the house until June, when the home’s actual owner — a Florida-based real estate company called Boccafe LLC — filed to evict her. Walker’s case was one of several NBC News and Outlier Media reported on last fall in an investigation of the scam, in which people sell or rent vacant homes they don’t own. At the time, Walker was worried she’d become homeless.
Those worries subsided this week, when an agreement filed in Detroit’s 36th District housing court paved the way to end the eviction. Boccafe pledged to sell Walker the house for $45,000, which Walker will pay using money from a donor who read about her case on NBC News.
The deal calls for Walker to get the deed to her house by June 30.
“I’m elated,” Walker said. “Hopefully this will open doors or help other people who are going through this or keep them from going through something like this.”
The donor, a Texas entrepreneur who grew up in Detroit, asked not to be identified.
Boccafe bought Walker’s house on the east side of Detroit for $25,000 last year, records show. The agreement also requires Walker to pay Boccafe $700 a month in rent dating back to last June, which her lawyer said will come from federal Covid assistance funds. And Boccafe agreed to make some repairs.
“We had a lot of people who were all trying to find a win-win situation,” Boccafe attorney Randy LeVasseur said. “We found one, and we’re happy to move forward.”
One of Walker’s lawyers, Ted Phillips, the executive director of the United Community Housing Coalition, a Detroit housing advocacy organization, was glad to see Walker’s case resolved but said most victims of the “fake landlord” scam lose their homes.
The scam has flourished in Detroit, where a foreclosure crisis devastated homeownership, leaving tens of thousands of properties vacant or in the hands of out-of-town investors. It’s fueled by discriminatory lending practices and limited access to conventional home loans in the predominantly Black, high-poverty city. Housing lawyers say the scam affects as many as 1 in 10 Detroiters facing eviction.
But the perpetrators have rarely faced prosecution. Phillips and other attorneys said that they haven’t been a priority for law enforcement and that the scammers can be hard to identify because they typically use fake names and temporary phone numbers.
Walker reported her scam to police in November, and police recently filed paperwork with the Wayne County prosecutor’s office to issue an arrest warrant, a police spokesman said.
A spokeswoman for Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said the warrant was being reviewed and declined to comment further.
Several local elected officials have promised funding and legislation to educate Detroiters to avoid the scam and to hold out-of-state property owners accountable for what happens in their homes, but no bills have been introduced.
Phillips said the attention the scam has gotten has raised awareness about challenges facing renters in Detroit, contributing in part to more than $800,000 in grants his organization recently received to help buy Detroiters out of predatory land contracts.
Telling stories like Walker’s “makes it easier to come back and say, ‘We need to prevent stuff like this from happening,’” Phillips said. | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/detroit-fake-landlord-scam-victim-home-rcna25890 | 2022-04-27T08:59:39Z | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/detroit-fake-landlord-scam-victim-home-rcna25890 | false | 2 |

Building a CI-friendly culture can be a huge asset for a company to gain and maintain a competitive advantage.
That is one of the main messages of a new business novella on a company's ability to gather, analyze and use information collected on competitors, suppliers, customers and external conditions in an industry to help avoid surprises, seize opportunities and blunt threats.
"We have always preferred books that were told as a tale, fable or a story, whether fiction or non-fiction," says Gary Maag, coauthor along with David Kalinowski of The CI-Driven CEO: A Little Leadership Story About A Powerful Competitive Intelligence Idea (2022, Indie Books International). "When reading books from authors such as Ken Blanchard, Matthew Kelly, and Patrick Lencioni, who get their messages across in a more interesting way, it hit us that we should take that approach for a book in our industry of competitive intelligence."
Maag and Kalinowski are the leaders of Proactive Worldwide, a 27-year-old firm with clients on five continents. Over 85% of the firm's clients are in the Fortune 500.
According to the book, there are six best practices when it comes to building a CI culture:
- Have at least one C-suite champion
- Educate people regularly on what CI is and isn't
- Brand and internally market the CI unit
- Know and profile key internal stakeholders
- Encourage and recognize staff contributions
- Regularly share successes/impact
This book debunks many myths. There are some common misconceptions about what CI is and how it can benefit businesses. The CI-Driven CEO illustrates how CI is an essential function, not an overhead expense, that helps identify opportunities and reduce risk by uncovering critical insights senior executives can use to improve strategic decision making.
In the book's story, Jack, the imperfect chief competitive officer of Hewitt Games, faces a huge challenge when an unexpected competitor enters the scene and threatens the lifeblood of his company. When he is appointed the interim CEO, he must find a way to create a truly embedded, CI-friendly culture, and develop a strategy to outmaneuver the competition before all is lost.
As they examined various books in their space, Maag and Kalinowski realized nearly all were lacking an engaging way to get readers to understand what competitive intelligence is and how it adds value to any organization. So, in 2011 they decided to educate business professionals through the power of storytelling. That resulted in their first business book, New Directions: A Competitive Intelligence Tale.
"One of the biggest reasons we wrote both books as fictional tales was that we wanted to provide C-suite executives something they would find different and interesting enough to spend their time reading and do so fairly quickly," said Maag.
"If you're a senior executive, functional leader, CI professional, college professor, or even a business student, this book is a great way to quickly learn about the value and impact of CI," said Kalinowski.

Still have 'hope' in Ukraine talks, Putin tells UN chief
"Despite the fact that the military operation is ongoing, we still hope that we will be able to reach agreements on the diplomatic track," Putin told UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin told the visiting UN chief Tuesday that he still had hope for negotiations to end the conflict in Ukraine.
"Despite the fact that the military operation is ongoing, we still hope that we will be able to reach agreements on the diplomatic track," Putin told UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who was visiting Moscow, in televised remarks.
"We are negotiating, we do not reject (talks)."
Sitting across from Guterres at a long table at the Kremlin, Putin said efforts at talks with Ukraine had been derailed by claims of atrocities committed by Russian forces in the town of Bucha outside Kyiv.
"There was a provocation in the village of Bucha, which the Russian army had nothing to do with," Putin said. "We know who prepared this provocation, by what means, and what kind of people worked on it."
Ukraine had proposed an international agreement whereby other countries would guarantee its security. In return, Kyiv would not join NATO or host foreign military bases and become a neutral, non-nuclear state.
The talks in Turkey stalled after the discovery of civilian bodies in areas near Kyiv previously occupied by Russian forces.
Putin told Guterres he was "aware of your concerns about Russia's military operation" in Ukraine and ready to discuss it, but blamed the turmoil in the country on an "anti-state coup" that overturned a pro-Russian president in 2014.
Guterres reiterated his call from an earlier meeting with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for Moscow and Kyiv to work together with the UN to set up aid and evacuation corridors to help civilians in Ukraine.
The UN chief's spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Putin agreed "in principle" to the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross being involved in evacuating civilians from the Azovstal steelworks in the port city of Mariupol.
Further discussions will take place between the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the Russian defence ministry, he added. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2022/apr/27/still-have-hope-in-ukraine-talks-putin-tells-un-chief-2446869.html | 2022-04-27T09:02:57Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2022/apr/27/still-have-hope-in-ukraine-talks-putin-tells-un-chief-2446869.html | true | 3 |

NPR's Noah Adams visits TJ's restaurant in Auburn, Maine, for a conversation with two waitresses, Tammy Ogden and Deborah Simpson, and a dishwasher, Rebecca Brown. None of them work a 40-hour week, and the server's pay is $3.18 an hour -- half Maine's minimum wage -- plus tips.
They like to work both the lunch and dinner shifts, because it gives them time with their children in the late afternoon. Simpson now works just half of the year at TJ's -- she was recently elected to serve in Maine's House of Representatives.
That job pays $9,000 a year, but Simpson was able to vote herself a pay raise of sorts: the Maine legislature agreed to increase the state's minimum wage, which slightly improves her waitressing pay.

While it seems impossible to imagine now, there was a time when Star Wars wasn’t one of the biggest franchises in entertainment. The ballooning budget, complex special effects, and fears that it was nothing more than a silly kids film caused 20th Century Fox to worry that the original film, directed by a New Hollywood maverick named George Lucas, would flop. Instead, the studio put most of its energy behind The Other Side of Midnight, even going as far as to demand that all theaters that wanted it also had to order Star Wars in an attempt to lessen any potential losses. But hindsight is a fascinating thing, and it’s funny to reflect on 20th Century Fox putting all their eggs in the wrong basket. Star Wars opened on May 25, 1977, in just 32 cinemas. The movie immediately broke box office records and, after a quick expansion into a wide release, became the highest-grossing film of all time. Work promptly began on a sequel, with Lucas crafting a story of considerably more scope than the original. The result was 1980’s The Empire Strikes Back, widely considered the best film in the series and the entry that solidified Star Wars as a pop-culture phenomenon with no equal. And the rest, as they say, is history. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2582916482368/dune-spice-wars-is-for-strategy-die-hards-more-than-dune-fans | 2022-04-27T09:06:28Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2582916482368/dune-spice-wars-is-for-strategy-die-hards-more-than-dune-fans | true | 21 |

Acrid smoke is blanketing New Delhi for a second day after a massive landfill site caught fire during a heatwave.
The landfill in northern Delhi’s Bhalswa area is taller than a 17-storey building and covers an area bigger than 50 football pitches.
Waste workers who live in nearby homes had emptied onto the streets on Tuesday evening. But by Wednesday morning, the thousands of people who live and work at the landfill had begun the dangerous process of trying to salvage material from the fire.
The Indian capital, like the rest of South Asia, is in the midst of a record-shattering heat wave that experts said was a catalyst for the landfill fire.
Three other landfills around the Indian capital have also caught fire in recent weeks.
The landfill was scheduled for closure more than a decade ago, but more than 2,300 tonnes of the city’s waste is still dumped there every day.
The organic waste in the landfill decays, resulting in a build-up of highly combustible methane gas.
“With high temperatures, this spontaneous combustion will take place,” said Ravi Agarwal, the director of Toxics Link, a New Delhi-based advocacy group that focuses on waste management.
Several fire engines rushed to the landfill on Tuesday to try and douse the fire. At night, the landfill resembled a burning mountain and it smouldered until early morning.
March was the hottest month in India in over a century and April has been similarly scorching.
Temperatures crossed 43C (109.4 F) in several cities on Tuesday and are forecasted to continue rising.
“India’s current heatwave has been made hotter by climate change,” said Dr Friederike Otto, senior lecturer in climate science at the Grantham Institute in Imperial College London.
She said that unless the world stops adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, such heat waves will become even more common. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/world/4220636/indian-capital-engulfed-in-smoke-after-landfill-catches-fire/ | 2022-04-27T09:08:26Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/world/4220636/indian-capital-engulfed-in-smoke-after-landfill-catches-fire/ | true | 16 |
The Bills were 13 seconds away from making the AFC Championship Game in 2022. They couldn't quite make it there, as Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs completed a miraculous comeback to tie the game at the end and win it in overtime.
As a result of the disappointing loss, the Bills will be even hungrier to make a deep playoff run in 2022. Buffalo has enjoyed a great offseason to date, adding one of the biggest prizes in free agency, Von Miller, while strengthening its offensive line as well.
Still, the Bills can get better. They have a couple of needs on offense and could look to address their defensive back seven as well. If they can add more quality playmakers, they well may be the best team in the NFL next season.
Luckily, the Bills are armed with some pretty solid resources and should have a chance to land some top-tier prospects in the 2022 NFL Draft. Here's a look at which picks they have and what needs they have left to fill with those selections.
Bills draft picks 2022: Who did Buffalo take?
- Round 1, Pick No. 25: —
- Round 2, Pick No. 57: —
- Round 3, Pick No. 89: —
- Round 4, Pick No. 130: —
- Round 5, Pick No. 168: —
- Round 6, Pick No. 185: —
- Round 6, Pick No. 203: —
- Round 7, Pick No. 231: —
Bills 2022 NFL Draft order
Bills NFL Draft needs
- Running back: The Bills have utilized a by-committee approach in the backfield the last couple of seasons with Devin Singletary and Zack Moss. They added Duke Johnson to serve as a receiving back this year, but adding a player with true three-down talent could go a long way toward improving the offense.
- Cornerback: Levi Wallace signed a one-year contract with the Steelers while star starter Tre'Davious White is coming off a torn ACL. The Bils could use another cornerback to challenge Dane Jackson for a starting job or serve as the team's all-important fourth corner.
- Safety: Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde are an elite duo at safety spot, but both are 31. They could soon regress, and if they do, the Bills need a succession plan in place for the grizzled veterans.
- Wide receiver: The Bills added Jamison Crowder to the mix for 2022 but lost Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders during the offseason. They need to add more depth in case one of Crowder, Stefon Diggs or Gabriel Davis gets hurt.
- Linebacker: Buffalo has no depth at linebacker behind Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano, so adding one seems likely. Edmunds has had his share of issues at times, anyway, so grabbing a player like Nakobe Dean or Devin Lloyd to challenge him makes sense.

We are now seeing that major economies (US/UK/Japan) are not immune from global deleveraging and inflation. As investors seek safety in the US Dollar this may eventually trigger a broader and deeper selloff in U.S. stocks and market volatility will begin to pick up as the VIXY moves up. As the USD continues to strengthen corporate profits for US multinationals will begin to disappear.
Especially in times like these, traders must understand where opportunities are and how to turn this knowledge into profits. Part of what we do at www.TheTechnicalTraders.com is to distill price action into technical strategies and modeling systems. These assist us in understanding when opportunities exist in the US stock market and specific sector ETFs. Our core objective is to protect capital while identifying suitable opportunities for profits in trends.
VOLATILITY MAY HAVE BOTTOMED SETTING THE STAGE FOR A TREND HIGHER
Volatility is beginning to pick up as we see the VIXY moving up strongly from its 6-month base.
Utilizing multiple time frame analysis and then focusing on the 4-hour chart we were able to capture the volatility low earlier than we would have by only using the daily, weekly, or monthly chart.

THE USD IS UP VS ALL OTHER MAJOR CURRENCIES
The US Dollar is continuing to appreciate as investors and central banks seek safety from geopolitical, inflation, and other market dislocations. The low in the USD was made on January 6, 2021.

STOCKS MEET RESISTANCE AND ARE SLIPPING AGAIN!
Stocks hit resistance the first week of 2022 after hitting a Fibonacci iteration of 2.1618. Less than two months later the SPY found support at yet another Fibonacci number of 1.618. These Fibonacci levels are based on the range calculation of the pre-Covid high and the Covid March 2020 low.
However, after rallying from the 1.618 level the SPY rolled over to the downside as it hit a 72-bar (12-day) Bollinger Band using a standard deviation setting of 1.618.
Now we will watch closely to see if the price will make a new low for 2022 which may confirm a shift in the overall trend in stocks.

INVERSE ETFS OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL BUY AND HOLD
Astute traders who want to do more than liquidate part or all their stock holdings may want to consider investing in an inverted ETF. Inverted ETFs provide the ability to take advantage of a downturn in the stock market without the complexities of having to sell individual stocks short.
If our goal as a trader is to make money, we need to adapt and be as agile as necessary. This is one of the reasons why our team continually tracks global money flow according to each country’s stock index but additionally other types of markets and asset classes. Our quantitative trading research is crucial in determining which markets to trade and how to efficiently employ trading capital.
Since we reviewed the SPY uptrend and the potential for a change of trend to the downside; it’s only appropriate to view the opposite side of this trade by looking at the SH inverted ETF.

UNDERSTANDING PRICE IS A GAME-CHANger
As technical traders, we follow price only, and when a new trend has been confirmed, we change our positions accordingly. We provide our ETF trades to subscribers. Recently, we entered new trades, all of which hit their first profit target levels and then eventually triggered their break-even profit stop loss orders on their remaining position. After booking our profits we are now safely in cash preparing for our next trades. Our models continually track price action in a multitude of markets and asset classes as we track global money flow. As our models generate new information about trends or a change in trends, we will communicate these signals expeditiously to our subscribers and to those on our trading newsletter email list.

Successful trading is not limited to when to buy or sell stocks or commodities. Money and risk management play a critical role in becoming a consistently profitable trader. Correct position sizing utilizing stop-loss orders helps preserve your investment capital and allows traders to manage their portfolios according to their desired risk parameters. Additionally, scaling out of positions by taking profits and moving stop-loss orders to breakeven can complement ones’ success.
WHAT STRATEGIES CAN HELP YOU NAVIGATE The CURRENT MARKET TRENDS?
Learn how we use specific tools to help us understand price cycles, set-ups, and price target levels in various sectors to identify strategic entry and exit points for trades. Over the next 12 to 24+ months, we expect very large price swings in the US stock market and other asset classes across the globe. We believe the markets have begun to transition away from the continued central bank support rally phase and have started a revaluation phase as global traders attempt to identify the next big trends. Precious Metals will likely start to act as a proper hedge as caution and concern begin to drive traders/investors into Metals and other safe-havens.
Historically, bonds have served as one of these safe-havens, but that is not proving to be the case this time around. So if bonds are off the table, what bond alternatives are there and how can they be deployed in a bond replacement strategy?

The Dayton Metro Library opened the new Burkhardt Branch this week, which leaves only two more branches to finish a massive overhaul of the library system’s facilities that voters made possible a decade ago.
The Dayton Metro Library is now about a year away from completing $197 million worth of projects to expand and renovate four branch libraries and build 13 new library facilities.
The new buildings are beautiful and cutting-edge and provide services that impact lives, economic development and the success of local children and their families, said Jeffrey Trzeciak, executive director of the Dayton Metro Library
“The project, made possible by our voters, truly embodies community collaboration,” Trzeciak said at the opening of the Burkhardt Branch.

On Monday morning, the Burkhardt Branch at 4704 Burkhardt Ave. had a “soft opening” following a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
A larger community celebration will be held at the new branch after the old library building across the street is torn down to create dedicated parking, Trzeciak said.
The $9.6 million Burkhardt Branch is the 15th new or renovated library facility the Dayton Metro Library has opened or reopened as part of its facilities improvement plan.

Just two more branch projects remain: Construction began in September on the new $9.8 million Northmont Branch, and site work has started on the new $11 million Huber Heights Branch.
The Northmont Branch is slated to open in November, while the branch in Huber Heights is expected to open in the spring of 2023.
Funding for the facilities improvements comes from a $187 million bond measure that Montgomery County voters approved in 2012.
The Dayton Metro Library at that time had 20 library facilities, but it decided to consolidate some branches, shrinking its system to 17, which are larger buildings with more amenities.
After the bond measure passed, the library broke ground on its first facilities projects in 2014.
Upgraded Electra C. Doren and the Miami Twp. branches reopened in 2015, and the library system opened five new or refreshed facilities in 2016; two in 2017; one in 2018; two in 2019; one in 2020; and two this year.
Facilities project costs are coming in as planned, Trzeciak said, and the budget was broken into four segments to ensure funds would be available to make the final branches as high quality as the first that were completed.
The budget took inflation and contingencies into account, Trzeciak said, and thorough budget “recalibrations” took place after each segment to ensure spending remained on track.
The Dayton Metro Library’s total investment exceeds the approved bond amount by about $10 million. The additional $10 million came from pre-existing building and repair funds, plus interest, and donations. Some of that money went toward site acquisition, remediation expenses and other needs, Trzeciak said.
Also, Trzeciak said, the library refinanced its bonds when interest rates were low, which will save taxpayers more than $19 million in debt service costs over the lifetime of the bonds, which expire in 2038.
The facilities upgrades ensure that important library services and resources are up-to-date and the community can rely on them for a long time to come, said Montgomery County Commissioner Judy Dodge.
“Our residents share the belief that libraries are essential and a gateway to knowledge,” Dodge said.
Libraries are community hubs where people from diverse backgrounds interact, and they are vital for community members who lack reliable internet access or smart phones, State Rep. Willis Blackshear (D-Dayton) said during Monday’s ribbon-cutting event.

The system has Tweeted today, Wednesday, April 27, asking customers to pay by cash wherever possible as machines at some stations are not working properly.
Anyone who is unable to pay with money is being asked to make their journey anyway and attempt top pay on arrival at their destination.

Former Australian test batter Michael Slater had charges of domestic violence dismissed on mental health grounds in a Sydney local court on Wednesday.
Magistrate Ross Hudson ordered Slater to undergo a 12-month treatment plan under the care of a doctor.
The 52-year-old Slater, who worked as a television commentator after retiring from international cricket, was charged by New South Wales state police last October with stalking and intimidation of his ex-partner. He later breached a restraining order by using a mobile phone to call and send dozens of text messages to his ex-partner and, in December, was ordered to check into a mental health facility as a condition of bail.
Slater did not appear in Waverley Local Court on Wednesday.
The Australian Broadcasting Corp quoted the magistrate as saying there had been “significant changes” in Slater's circumstances since December and the former cricket star “has recognised his need to stay medicated and to stay on top of his mental health.”
The ABC reported the court was told Slater had been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, alcohol addiction, borderline personality disorder and ADHD, and had spent more than 100 days in mental health facilities.
Slater played 74 cricket tests for Australia from 1993-2001, scoring 5,312 runs at an average of almost 43.

LONDON (AP) — The 23rd novel by acclaimed American author Louise Erdrich and an adult fiction debut by Trinidadian stand-up comedian Lisa Allen-Agostini were named finalists on Wednesday for the 30,000-pound ($38,000) Women’s Prize for fiction.
Erdrich’s “The Sentence” — set in a haunted Minneapolis bookstore — and Allen-Agostini’s Caribbean story of gender violence and liberation, “The Bread the Devil Knead,” are on a six-book shortlist for the prestigious British award.
The finalists also include New Zealand author Meg Mason’s bold and funny novel about love and mental illness, “Sorrow and Bliss”; U.S.-Canadian writer Ruth Ozeki’s bibliophilic novel “The Book of Form and Emptiness”; Turkish-British author Elif Shafak’s Cyprus-set love story “The Island of Missing Trees”; and American writer Maggie Shipstead’s “Great Circle,” the story of a pioneering female aviator and her legacy.
Founded in 1996, the prize is open to female English-language writers from around the world. Previous winners include Zadie Smith, Tayari Jones and Maggie O’Farrell. Last year’s winner was Susanna Clarke’s literary fantasy “Piranesi.””
The winner of the 2022 Women’s Prize will chosen by a jury led by British journalist Mary Ann Sieghart and announced June 15 at a ceremony in London. | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/entertainment/article/Louise-Erdrich-among-6-finalists-for-literary-17129746.php | 2022-04-27T09:26:36Z | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/entertainment/article/Louise-Erdrich-among-6-finalists-for-literary-17129746.php | true | 30 |
Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man and wounded three others in West Bank clashes early Wednesday, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA said, a day after the fatal shooting of another Palestinian. The Israeli army told AFP it was “conducting counterterrorism activity” in the city of Jenin, but did not comment on any casualties. Israeli security forces have stepped up operations in the occupied West Bank, particularly around Jenin where there are active fighters from several armed groups, after a series of attacks in Israel since late March. The man killed in the latest incident was identified as 21-year-old Ahmad Massad, from the village of Burqin in the northern West Bank. He was shot in the head, a hospital official told WAFA. Massad’s death follows that of another Palestinian killed Tuesday when Israeli forces stormed a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank during what the army called a “counter-terrorism” operation that sparked violent riots. The Palestinian health ministry said 20-year-old Ahmed Ibrahim Oweidat “succumbed to critical wounds sustained by live bullets to the head,” during the shooting in Aqabat Jaber camp near Jericho. Clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians are common in the West Bank, a territory occupied by Israel since 1967. But there has been a wave of bloodshed in the territory and in Israel as the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and the Jewish holiday of Passover overlapped this month. Massad is among 26 Palestinians and Israeli Arabs killed since late March, among them several assailants, according to an AFP tally. During the same period, 14 Israelis were killed in various attacks. Violent clashes have also rocked the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, sparking fears of another conflict after last year’s 11-day war between Israel and armed groups in the Gaza Strip. Concerns of fresh Al-Aqsa clashes are building, though, ahead of Friday prayers at the compound, with the end of Ramadan also approaching in early May. Following the Al-Aqsa clashes, isolated rocket fire towards Israel from the Gaza Strip resumed, prompting Israeli reprisals on targets linked to Hamas, the Islamist group which controls the coastal Palestinian enclave. No injuries have been reported on either side as a result of the rocket fire or retaliatory air strikes. Palestinian Muslims have been angered by an uptick in Jewish visits to the Al-Aqsa compound, Islam’s third-holiest site. It is also Judaism’s holiest place and known to Jews as the Temple Mount. In an apparent attempt to ease tensions, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid told reporters on Sunday that Israel was committed to the “status quo” at Al-Aqsa, meaning adherence to long-standing convention allowing Jews to visit the compound but not pray there. | https://dailytimes.com.pk/926691/israeli-forces-kill-palestinian-in-west-bank/ | 2022-04-27T09:44:10Z | https://dailytimes.com.pk/926691/israeli-forces-kill-palestinian-in-west-bank/ | false | 9 |

The Karnataka education department has issued a show cause notice to Clarence school in Bengaluru over the Bible controversy. The school has been asked to respond within seven days.
The show cause notice has been issued to Clarence school over their decision to mandate the teaching of the Bible.
The Department of Primary and Secondary Education had already issued a notice to the school on Tuesday, April 26. The government will take the necessary action after the school responds to the show cause notice.
The controversy started when Clarence High School got an undertaking from the parents of the children that they would not object to their wards carrying the holy book to the premises.
Hindu Janajagruti Samithi, state spokesperson Mohan Gowda, claimed that the school was forcing non-Christian students to read the Bible.
The group claimed that there were also non-Christian students who studied in the school and said that they were being made to learn the Bible forcefully. Responding to these claims, the school states that it provides a Bible-based education.
The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) on Monday, April 25, wrote to the Bengaluru district commissioner, telling him to initiate an inquiry against Clarence school.
The inquiry was based on the fact that the school allegedly violated Article 25 by forcing students to study the Bible. The NCPCR has also ordered that a report should be filed within seven days. | https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/bengaluru-education-dept-show-cause-notice-clarence-school-bible-controversy-1942517-2022-04-27 | 2022-04-27T09:48:31Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/bengaluru-education-dept-show-cause-notice-clarence-school-bible-controversy-1942517-2022-04-27 | false | 2 |

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe, Africa’s biggest tobacco grower and one of the world's top exporters of the nicotine leaf, has opened its selling season for the crop amid pledges to fight deforestation and child labor in response to pressure from rights groups, environmentalists and international buyers.
Tobacco is on a rebound in this southern African nation where production plummeted from a peak of 260 million kilograms (290,000 tons) in 1998 to less than 50 million kilograms (60,000 tons) a decade later following the eviction of several thousand white farmers who accounted for the majority of growers.
In recent years Zimbabwe has rapidly increased the size of its crop, regaining its spot as one of the world’s top five exporters of tobacco. It exported just over 200 million kilograms (220,000 tons) of tobacco in 2021, according to the Tobacco Industry Marketing Board.
This year's crop is expected to be about 10% and 15% smaller due to unfavorable weather, according to one of the country’s biggest merchants TSL Limited.
Tobacco is one of Zimbabwe's biggest earners of foreign currency alongside minerals such as gold and funds sent by Zimbabweans living outside the country. Tobacco earned Zimbabwe about $1.2 billion in exports last year and the government would like to see that increase “into a $5 billion industry by 2025,” Agriculture Minister Anxious Musuka said at the opening of the tobacco auction season at the end of March.
The government hopes to encourage an increase in the size of the tobacco crop to 300 million kilograms (330,000 tons) annually by providing more local funding to farmers, Musuka said.
With tobacco’s proven role in causing cancer, international marketers are urging Zimbabwe to avoid any other controversy by producing the crop in ways that don’t harm the environment or use child labor.
Most of Zimbabwe’s tobacco is exported to Asian countries, with China the largest single buyer.
China has been integral to Zimbabwe’s tobacco boom by establishing a grower contract system run by the state-owned China National Tobacco Corporation, the world’s biggest cigarette producer. Under the system, the firm loans seeds, fertilizers, food, and money for labor and wood to farmers, who in turn are obligated to sell their crop to the firm or its agents.
The bulk of Zimbabwe’s flue-cured tobacco crop now comes from more than 100,000 small-scale Black farmers, many resettled on formerly white-owned farms. Small-scale farmers produced 133 million kilograms (about 147,000 tons), about 63% of the total crop of 211 million kilograms (about 233,000 tons) sold last year, according to the tobacco marketing board.
This massive shift away from large-scale commercial farming has changed who does the work producing the labor-intensive crop. The big white-owned commercial farms used to employ scores of full-time workers but now the small farms are mostly family operations that often rely on child labor, say rights activists.
Another problem is that many of the new smaller tobacco growers can't afford the electricity or coal needed to cure the tobacco leaves so they cut down nearby trees, causing Zimbabwe's forests to decline by about 15% to 20% annually in recent years, according to researchers.
Under international pressure, Zimbabwe’s tobacco industry is trying to reduce these problems, Meanwell Gudu, CEO of the tobacco marketing board, told The Associated Press.
“Many blue-chip companies who are our customers have developed a code that they refer to as the sustainable tobacco program. As a supplier we need to comply with that code, which lists deforestation and child labor as some of the undesirable practices,” Gudu said.
The country has been on “a blitz of afforestation” that includes farmers receiving tree seedlings to establish woodlots in their areas, claimed Gudu.
“We are planting a lot of trees so that we can be like our competitors. For example, if you look at Brazil, farmers there cure their tobacco from woodlots that they have established and not from indigenous trees … that’s what we want to do,” said Gudu.
Reducing the use of child labor could be a harder task because many families have been doing that for generations, some farmers said. Children as young as five work in the fields with their parents as part of their normal upbringing to help meet family costs, they said.
A 2018 report by Human Rights Watch stated that children on Zimbabwean tobacco farms “work in hazardous conditions, performing tasks that threaten their health and safety or interfere with their education.”
The report noted that “child workers are exposed to nicotine and toxic pesticides, and many suffer symptoms consistent with nicotine poisoning from handling tobacco leaves.”
Zimbabwean law sets the minimum age for employment at 16 while banning children under 18 “from performing hazardous work," but does not specifically ban children from handling tobacco.
“I worked in the maize (corn) fields as a child. Everyone did that and there was nothing wrong because it is the norm,” said tobacco farmer Berrington Mupande, 37.
“However, I think the tobacco environment is too tough for children,” he said. “But we see people still working with their children or young relatives because they have no money to pay for labor.” | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4520848 | 2022-04-27T09:52:58Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4520848 | true | 33 |

PHOENIX (AP) — Mikal Bridges was playing his 47th minute of basketball on Tuesday night when he leaped into the air, threw down a huge two-handed jam and pulled himself up on the rim with a little sneer for good measure.
He’s the do-everything man for these Phoenix Suns. And, no, he’s not even close to tired.
Bridges scored 31 points and blocked four shots in arguably the best game of this pro career, leading the Suns over the New Orleans Pelicans 112-97 to take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference first-round series.
“I’m ready to play tomorrow,” Bridges said with a big grin at the postgame news conference. “I’m energized, my teammates keep me going. I’m itching my knee right now, talking about it. I’m ready, I love being out there with my teammates. They’re my best friends, it makes it way easier.”
Chris Paul added 22 points and 11 assists, bouncing back from a subpar performance in Game 4. Deandre Ayton added 19 points and nine rebounds.
The Suns never trailed but also never totally pulled away until the final few minutes against the feisty Pelicans. Once again, Phoenix found a way to close, improving to 50-0 this season when leading after three quarters, including 3-0 in this series.
Bridges closed the Suns’ scoring with two emphatic dunks in the final minute.
Brandon Ingram scored 22 points and CJ McCollum added 21 for New Orleans, which was hurt by a slow start and 15 turnovers.
“I just thought that we made some timely mistakes, starting with the turnovers,” Pelicans coach Willie Green said. “Fifteen turnovers for 23 points, that fuels their team and that fuels their transition opportunities. That is an area where we know we have to be better.”
The Suns took an 89-78 lead into the final quarter after Cameron Payne’s late 3-pointer. The Pelicans — just 36-46 during the regular season — pulled within seven points with less than two minutes left, but Cameron Johnson threw down a one-handed jam on the ensuing fast break to keep the Suns in control.
Phoenix will try to clinch the series in Game 6 on Thursday in New Orleans. If the first five games are any indication, it will not be easy.
It was an ironman performance for Bridges, who played 47 of a possible 48 minutes yet never looked tired. He made 12 of 17 shots from the field, blocked four shots, grabbed five rebounds and had two steals.
The lanky 25-year-old — who was one of three finalists for the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year Award — has never missed a game in his four-year NBA career, playing in 309 regular-season games and 27 more in the postseason.
“He doesn’t miss games, he guards the best players every night and then he has 31,” Paul said.
Phoenix played its third straight game without All-Star guard Devin Booker, who was still out with a strained right hamstring that happened in Game 2.
Phoenix led by as many as 17 during the second quarter before settling for a 59-46 advantage. Paul had 16 points before the break while Ayton added 13. Ingram had 13 for the Pelicans.
“We have to change the way we start a game and come out with energy,” Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas said. “If we didn’t have that struggle in the first half, it would have been a different game.
TECH TROUBLE
Paul was irritated postgame about a technical foul he received in the fourth quarter. It came at a crucial juncture: The Suns were leading just 100-92 with 4:39 left.
The point guard got the technical after being whistled for an eight-second violation. Paul claimed that all he said was “C’mon” at the scorer’s table because he was hoping for a review.
“It’s out of control, that’s ridiculous,” Paul said. “It is what it is. We try not to get fourth-quarter techs on our team. That’s a big deal.”
LIGHTER POCKETS
Speaking of displeasure with officials, Suns coach Monty Williams was fined $15,000 for publicly criticizing the officiating in Game 4 of the first-round playoff series against the New Orleans Pelicans, the NBA announced before the game. The Pelicans had a 42-15 advantage in foul shots during Game 4, which the Suns lost.
TIP-INS
Pelicans: Jose Alvarado was once again tough on defense, forcing the eight-second call in the fourth quarter against Paul, which resulted in a turnover and technical foul on Paul. … New Orleans shot just 5 of 25 (20%) from 3-point range.
Suns: Booker has been working out at the team’s practice facility, but it’s still unclear when he’ll be able to return. … Payne gave the Suns a boost with seven points in the first quarter. He averaged just 4.8 points through the first four games of the series. … Phoenix was just 1 of 9 from 3-point range before closing the first half by hitting 4 of 6.

Across the airline industry in the United States, hourly pay for flight attendants starts when all the passengers are seated and the plane’s doors close.
Delta said the change will start June 2 on all flights.
In a memo to flight attendants, Delta’s senior vice president of in-flight service, Kristen Manion Taylor, said the new pay “further recognizes how important your role is on board to ensuring a welcoming, safe and on-time start to each flight.”
The rate of pay during boarding will be 50% of regular wages.
The change comes as Delta plans to increase the boarding time for single-aisle or “narrow-body” planes from 35 minutes to 40 minutes, which the airline expects will increase the percentage of flights that depart on time.
Manion Taylor said that after a test last fall, and getting comments from flight attendants, she promised not to impose the new boarding times without providing additional pay for the cabin crews.
Delta said the new boarding pay would be on top of 4% raises for flight attendants that it announced in March and which take effect later this week.
Atlanta-based Delta has successfully campaigned to defeat several attempts to organize its 20,000 flight attendants. The Association of Flight Attendants — which has been gearing up its latest organizing effort at Delta for more than two years but has not yet amassed enough support to force a vote — took credit for the boarding pay.
“This new policy is the direct result of our organizing,” the union said in a statement posted on its website. “As we get closer to filing for our union vote, management is getting nervous.”
The union represents flight attendants at United, Alaska, Spirit and about a dozen smaller airlines. Delta said none of those airlines pay their cabin crews for boarding time.
Unions represent between 82% and 86% of workers at American, United and Southwest, but only 20% of Delta’s 83,000 employees, according to a regulatory filing. Delta’s 13,000 pilots are represented by the Air Line Pilots Association. Flight attendants at Delta’s Endeavor Air regional-flying subsidiary are unionized.

Indian capital engulfed in smoke after landfill catches fire
by Aniruddha Ghosal
Acrid smoke hung over New Delhi for a second day on Wednesday after a massive landfill caught fire during a scorching heat wave, forcing informal waste workers to endure hazardous conditions.
The landfill in northern Delhi's Bhalswa is taller than a 17-story building and covers an area bigger than 50 football fields. Waste workers who live in nearby homes had emptied onto the streets on Tuesday evening. But by Wednesday morning, the thousands of people who live and work at the landfill had begun the dangerous process of trying to salvage garbage from the fire.
"There's a fire every year. It is not new. There is risk to life and livelihood, but what do we do?" asked Bhairo Raj, 31, an informal waste worker who lives next to the landfill. He said that his children studied there and he couldn't afford to leave.
The Indian capital, like the rest of South Asia, is in the midst of a record-shattering heat wave that experts said was a catalyst for the landfill fire. Three other landfills around the Indian capital have also caught fire in recent weeks.
The landfill in the latest fire was planned for closure more than a decade ago, but more than 2,300 tons of the city's garbage is still dumped there every day. The organic waste in the landfill decays, resulting in a build-up of highly combustible methane gas.
"With high temperatures, this spontaneous combustion will take place," said Ravi Agarwal, the director of Toxics Link, a New Delhi-based advocacy group that focuses on waste management.
Several fire engines rushed to the landfill on Tuesday to try and douse the fire. At night, the landfill resembled a burning mountain and it smoldered until early morning.
March was the hottest month in India in over a century and April has been similarly scorching. Temperatures crossed 43 degrees Celsius (109.4 F) in several cities Tuesday and are forecasted to continue rising.
"India's current heatwave has been made hotter by climate change," said Dr. Friederike Otto, senior lecturer in climate science at the Grantham Institute in Imperial College London.
She said that unless the world stops adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, such heat waves will become even more common.

TORONTO -- Four years ago the Ontario Liberals held a majority government and today they are not-so-affectionately dubbed “the minivan party,” holding so few seats that they could carpool to a caucus meeting.
They have spent the time since their electoral drubbing in 2018 trying to rebuild, though without the benefit of much of their powerhouse machinery of old. Polls suggest they may not be entirely out of the running, but going from seven seats to government is a tall order.
Leader Steven Del Duca was elected by members days before the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 and the Liberals say he has spent the past two years listening to Ontarians, since they identify a failure to do that as a key reason for their 2018 loss.
Del Duca not holding a seat in the legislature has also allowed him to put a lot of energy into candidate recruitment.
“We started to think about, because we were obviously coming in...from a very behind position, what can we do that can put us in a better position? And we focused in on team,” campaign director Christine McMillan said in an interview.
The candidates themselves had a large hand in platform development, partly because the party was operating on a skeleton staff, but also to take advantage of their experience, McMillan said. Their roster includes a personal support worker, an ER doctor, a hospital CEO, and a well-known mayor.
Rob Gilmour, a strategist and former Progressive Conservative staffer, said the Liberals have put together an impressive team. He noted by way of disclosure that McMillan is a partner at Crestview Strategy, the firm at which he is a vice president - “I think she's wonderful. Am I going to vote for her? No, absolutely not.”
“I've been impressed with the Liberal party and the efforts they've put forward to recruit really interesting, really strong, really diverse candidates from across all parts of Ontario,” Gilmour said.
“It is clear to me that they are serious about rebuilding their party and rebuilding their brand. But it's also clear to me that they need to be serious about rebuilding their party and rebuilding their brand, because there's a reason they only won seven seats in 2018.”
Skyrocketing hydro prices became a flashpoint of anger against the 15-year-old Liberal government, with then-premier Kathleen Wynne admitting she didn't pay close enough attention to the impacts their attempts to make the electricity system greener had on people's wallets.
They also angered progressive voters with the partial sale of Hydro One and angered the business community by moving quickly on increasing the minimum wage.
As the Liberals look to overcome any lingering anger from back then, they see their fresh slate of candidates as a key to success. But how does a party starting out so far behind define success?
Anna Esselment, a political science professor at the University of Waterloo, said she doesn't believe the Liberals are banking on forming government this time.
“I imagine they are looking two elections out,” she said. “They'll have goals for this spring that will build to their goals for 2026. So what I would imagine, in the state that they're in now, is that their first goal would be to achieve official party status.”
Their seven-seat caucus was just one shy of official party status - a recognition by the legislature that allows them more resources - but the Progressive Conservative government has since boosted the threshold from eight to 12.
A minority government is not impossible, said Andrew Steele, a strategist and former top Liberal staffer, but most Liberals likely have a balanced set of expectations.
“Finishing in a second-place position is a real accomplishment to build on,” said Steele, a vice president at the firm StrategyCorp.
“I think there's no number that people are going to hold anyone accountable to. It's more a question of can we recover party status and the resources that go along with that? Did we comport ourselves well and define ourselves as the real opposition to Doug Ford?”
Both the NDP and the Liberals are jockeying for the anti-Ford vote, positioning themselves as the only party that can defeat him. The NDP note the Liberals' vastly diminished footprint compared to their own 39-seat caucus as evidence they can deliver. The Liberals say that, historically, they are the ones who defeat conservatives.
During the last election, polling suggested the NDP was in the lead for a time, before the Progressive Conservatives swept to a large majority, and that was when the Liberals were at their weakest, Steele noted.
“There's a bit of a ceiling on the NDP support that makes it really hard for them to win an election in Ontario,” he said.
“It has to be a very peculiar set of splits for them to win, whereas the Liberals are a more viable big tent for the not-Doug-Ford vote to coalesce around. So...by winning that progressive primary first, that allows them to be seen as the real opposition to Doug Ford, and then move into a position of being seen not just as the alternative, but as the party that can do a better job of governance.”
McMillan said voters shouldn't expect to hear the Liberals talk much about NDP Leader Andrea Horwath.
“(It will be) Doug Ford, full stop. It'll all be conservative,” she said. “Our message to voters is it's a choice between Conservatives and Liberals.”
Esselment said the Liberals aren't starting from scratch in that regard.
“They're not normally a third party, and voters are certainly used to voting Liberal,” she said. “So I think in that sense, there's going to have to be a bit of that message of: We are rightfully the ones that should be either in government or in the Opposition benches.”
Polling suggests the “progressive primary” is so far going well for the Liberals, with two recent polls putting them ahead of the NDP. But broadly positive polling doesn't necessarily translate into seats, and with relatively diminished resources the Liberals will have to focus their efforts.
The campaign is likely to spend a lot of time in the Greater Toronto Area, seeking to regain lost ground in the vote-rich and often Liberal-friendly regions.
“The GTA is a target-rich environment for seats and I think election night will come down to - both by way of a majority or minority and also who does end up being premier - the story will be told primarily in Brampton, Mississauga and Scarborough,” Gilmour said. | https://www.cp24.com/news/ontario-liberals-put-their-rebuild-to-the-test-after-2018-election-implosion-1.5877964 | 2022-04-27T10:04:49Z | https://www.cp24.com/news/ontario-liberals-put-their-rebuild-to-the-test-after-2018-election-implosion-1.5877964 | false | 8 |
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), the parent company of Google, posted a disappointing quarter, missing the Street’s expectations on both revenue and earnings fronts in the first quarter of 2022. Slow spending in advertising, along with the impact on both Google and YouTube revenue due to the war in Ukraine acted as headwinds.
Disappointingly, Alphabet SVP and CFO Ruth Porat said, “The war did have an outsized impact on YouTube ads relative to the rest of Google. And that was both from suspending the vast majority of our commercial activities in Russia, as well as, as I noted earlier, the related reduction in spend primarily by brand advertisers in Europe.”
Following the company’s update, shares of the company lost 2.55% in the extended trading session on Tuesday, after declining 3.59% at the close.
Results in Detail
Alphabet reported earnings per share of $24.62 in the first quarter, falling short of analysts’ expectations of $25.96 per share. The company recorded earnings of $26.29 per share in the same quarter last year.
Revenue grew 23% to $68.01 billion but missed the Street’s estimate of $68.1 billion.
Google advertising revenue rose 22.4% year-over-year to $54.7 billion in Q1, including a 15% jump in revenues from YouTube ads to $6.87 billion. Yet, YouTube ads revenues fell short of consensus estimates of over $500 million.
Also, Google Cloud reported 45% growth and came in at $5.8 billion, reflecting continued strong performance across the Google Cloud Platform and Workspace.
Meanwhile, Traffic Acquisition Costs (TAC) stood at $12 billion, up 23.7% year-over-year. These costs relate to funds, which are paid by Google to publishers and phone makers like Apple (AAPL).
Recently, Alphabet has been authorized by the Board of Directors to repurchase up to an additional $70 billion of its Class A and Class C shares.
Official Comments
Encouragingly, the CEO of Google and Alphabet, Sundar Pichai, said, “Q1 saw strong growth in Search and Cloud, in particular, which are both helping people and businesses as the digital transformation continues. We’ll keep investing in great products and services, and creating opportunities for partners and local communities around the world.”
Looking forward, CFO Ruth Porat said that in the second quarter of 2022, the company will experience tough comparisons, along with the impact of suspended commercial activities in Russia and foreign exchange movements.
“We continue to make considered investments in Capex, R&D and talent to support long-term value creation for all stakeholders,” Porat added.
Wall Street’s Take
Following the Alphabet earnings report, Stifel Nicolaus analyst Scott Devitt maintained a Buy rating on Alphabet but decreased the price target to $3,100 (30.64% upside potential) from $3,500.
Devitt said, “We are lowering near-term estimates to reflect management’s commentary and revised growth trajectories implied by 1Q results.”
“We recommend GOOGL shares given supportive valuation on EPS and confidence in the company’s long-term growth opportunity,” the analyst added.
Shares of Alphabet have increased 3.6% over the past year. Overall, the stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 31 unanimous Buys. That’s alongside an average Alphabet price target of $3,485.87, which implies 46.9% upside potential to current levels.
Website Traffic
TipRanks’ Website Traffic Tool, which uses data from SEMrush Holdings (SEMR), offered insight into Alphabet’s performance in the March quarter, ahead of earnings.
Supporting the disappointing March quarter results, the website traffic tool showed a downtrend in the website traffic. According to the tool, youtube.com recorded a 4.43% sequential decrease in global estimated visits in Q1 2022.
The predictions that were based on TipRanks’ website visits data turned out to be correct, with Alphabet reporting disappointing YouTube revenues in the quarter.
Bottom-Line
Despite recent price performance, cloud strength, and high analyst ratings, investors remain skeptical about the stock, given macroeconomic issues, competitive pressure, bleak results, and a gloomy outlook. Nevertheless, vigilance on website trends reflected on TipRanks’ Website Traffic Tool could guide in taking prudent decisions.

The Fountain Hills Unified School District Governing Board offered a contract to Dr. Cain Jagodzinski to serve as superintendent for next school year at a special meeting held last Wednesday, April 27. Jagodzinski was a finalist for the position in 2020, is a former teacher and principal at Fountain Hills High School. For the past two years, he has served as principal at a Valley high school with as many students as all FHUSD sites combined.
The Board addressed several concerns in the special meeting involving the hiring process, saying that, while the search only lasted 13 days, corners were not cut.
Jagodzinski applied for the position of superintendent and went through several interviews with FHUSD stakeholders in 2020, and he had lengthy discussions with the Board about the current opening.
The Board initially planned to form separate committees with parents and staff to interview candidates this year. The Board confirmed with legal counsel that they are not required by law to have those committees, so the decision was made to move forward without having Jagodzinski go through that process a second time. The Board also said that Jagodzinski will have more time to smoothly transition into his role with the quick hire.
Jagodzinski’s effective start date is July 1.
Many teachers and staff currently at FHUSD were not in the district when Jagodzinski was interviewed by a panel in 2020, and those new teachers were left out of the process this year. The Board said during the meeting that Jagodzinski will be a great fit at FHUSD and, after the meeting, Board member Jill Reed further elaborated on why the Board is confident Jagodzinski will excel.
“Because Cain is a team player,” Reed said. “He built a team at the high school when he was there. He listens to his staff, he listened to the kids, he is open to collaboration and, most importantly, he built a relationship with this community, so while some of those teachers are not here, the community is still here.
“Cain learned every single student’s name, he addressed them by name, he had an open-door policy, and the kids felt they could go to him with anything; suggestions, complaints, ideas, whatever it was, and Cain always listened to that,” Reed continued. “He’s very methodical in his thinking, he is careful with his decisions, he was financially prudent with his budget at the high school and he’s going to be an amazing asset to the district.”
Jagodzinski lives in Fountain Hills and his children attend district schools. Jagodzinski was a former social studies teacher and high school basketball coach in town, and he last worked for the district as the high school principal from 2016 to 2020. Jagodzinski has worked as the principal of Arcadia High School since 2020. | https://www.fhtimes.com/news/local_news/fhusd-jagodzinski-returns-as-superintendent/article_2181e56c-c58e-11ec-ba33-8b1de62f038e.html | 2022-04-27T10:05:11Z | https://www.fhtimes.com/news/local_news/fhusd-jagodzinski-returns-as-superintendent/article_2181e56c-c58e-11ec-ba33-8b1de62f038e.html | true | 2 |

BANGKOK (AP) — A court in military-ruled Myanmar convicted the country’s former leader Aung San Suu Kyi of corruption and sentenced her to five years in prison Wednesday in the first of several corruption cases against her.
Suu Kyi, who was ousted by an army takeover last year, had denied the allegation that she had accepted gold and hundreds of thousands of dollars given her as a bribe by a top political colleague.
Her supporters and independent legal experts consider her prosecution an unjust move to discredit Suu Kyi and legitimize the military’s seizure of power while keeping the 76-year-old elected leader from returning to an active role in politics.
The daughter of Aung San, Myanmar’s founding father, Suu Kyi became a public figure in 1988 during a failed uprising against a previous military government when she helped found the National League for Democracy party. She spent 15 of the next 21 years under house arrest for leading a nonviolent struggle for democracy that earned her the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize. When the army allowed an election in 2015, her party won a landslide victory and she became the de facto head of state. Her party won a greater majority in the 2020 polls.
She has already been sentenced to six years’ imprisonment in other cases and faces 10 more corruption charges. The maximum punishment under the Anti-Corruption Act is 15 years in prison and a fine. Convictions in the other cases could bring sentences of more than 100 years in prison in total.
“These charges will not have credibility other than in the eyes of the junta’s stacked courts (and the military’s supporters),” said Moe Thuzar, a fellow at the Yusof Ishak Institute, a Southeast Asian studies center in Singapore. “Even if there were any legitimate concerns or complaints about corruption by any member of an elected government, a coup and enforced military rule are certainly not the way to pursue such concerns.”
News of Wednesday’s verdict came from a legal official who asked not to be identified because he is not authorized to release such information. Suu Kyi’s trial in the capital, Naypyitaw, was closed to the media, diplomats and spectators, and her lawyers were barred from speaking to the press.
Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party won a landslide victory in the 2020 general election, but lawmakers were not allowed to take their seats when the army seized power on Feb. 1, 2021, arresting Suu Kyi and many senior colleagues in her party and government. The army claimed it acted because there had been massive electoral fraud, but independent election observers didn’t find any major irregularities.
The takeover was met with large nonviolent protests nationwide, which security forces quashed with lethal force that has so far led to the deaths of almost 1,800 civilians, according to a watchdog group, the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners.
As repression escalated, armed resistance against the military government grew, and some U.N. experts now characterize the country as being in a state of civil war.
Suu Kyi has not been seen or allowed to speak in public since she was detained and is being held in an undisclosed location. However, at last week’s final hearing in the case, she appeared to be in good health and asked her supporters to “stay united,” said a legal official familiar with the proceedings who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to release information.
In earlier cases, Suu Kyi was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment on convictions of illegally importing and possessing walkie-talkies, violating coronavirus restrictions and sedition.
In the case decided Wednesday, she was accused of receiving $600,000 and seven gold bars in 2017-18 from Phyo Min Thein, the former chief minister of Yangon, the country’s biggest city and a senior member of her political party. Her lawyers, before they were served with gag orders late last year, said she rejected all his testimony against her as “absurd.”
The nine other cases currently being tried under the Anti-Corruption Act include several related to the purchase and rental of a helicopter by one of her former Cabinet ministers. Violations of the law carry a maximum penalty for each offense of 15 years in prison and a fine.
Suu Kyi is also charged with diverting money meant as charitable donations to build a residence, and with misusing her position to obtain rental properties at lower-than-market prices for a foundation named after her mother. The state Anti-Corruption Commission has declared that several of her alleged actions deprived the state of revenue it would otherwise have earned.
Another corruption charge alleging that she accepted a bribe has not yet gone to trial.
Suu Kyi is also being tried on a charge of violating the Official Secrets Act, which carries a maximum sentence of 14 years, and on a charge alleging election fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of three years.
“The days of Aung San Suu Kyi as a free woman are effectively over. Myanmar’s junta and the country’s kangaroo courts are walking in lockstep to put Aung San Suu Kyi away for what could ultimately be the equivalent of a life sentence, given her advanced age,” said Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director of Human Rights Watch. “Destroying popular democracy in Myanmar also means getting rid of Aung San Suu Kyi, and the junta is leaving nothing to chance.” | https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/myanmar-court-sentences-suu-kyi-to-5-years-for-corruption/ | 2022-04-27T10:09:37Z | https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/myanmar-court-sentences-suu-kyi-to-5-years-for-corruption/ | false | 25 |
