A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Thursday that China and Pakistan had the resolve and capability to cut off the claws of terrorists who carried out attack on a van of the Confucius Institute at the University of Karachi and make them pay the due price. “China and Pakistan have the resolve and capability to cut off the claws of the terrorists and make them pay the due price” Wang Wenbin said at a regular news briefing in response to a question about Tuesday’s terrorist attack in Karachi which killed three Chinese citizens and injured one. He said, Yesterday, I already talked about Chinese position on the terrorist attack in Karachi. The injured is being treated and follow up work is being handled properly, he added. Terming terrorism as a common scourge of all mankind, he said that the Pakistani side was taking all out efforts to investigate the attack and apprehend the perpetrator. | https://dailytimes.com.pk/927552/china-pakistan-have-capabilities-to-cut-off-claws-of-terrorists-wang/ | 2022-04-29T07:24:42Z | https://dailytimes.com.pk/927552/china-pakistan-have-capabilities-to-cut-off-claws-of-terrorists-wang/ | false | null |
Overall there is little question that solar energy provides tremendous environmental advantages when compared to energy sources such as fossil fuels, which are a driver both of global climate change and local pollution. In addition, claimed health hazards from living near utility solar fields have been misrepresented and exaggerated significantly. This does not mean, however, that there are not health and safety impacts associated with solar power that need to be addressed in a serious way by communities, developers and policy makers.
One way to think about these health and safety issues is according to the life cycle of solar panels: their manufacturing, their siting/installation, their operation to generate energy, and how they are dealt with decades down the road when their usefulness has ended.
Photovoltaic (PV) cell manufacturing processes do use a number of hazardous materials to clean and purify the semiconductor surface. These don’t affect communities where the panels are sited, but they do pose potential risk to those working in these plants. This makes sourcing from reputable solar manufacturers especially important. Also, thin-film PV cells contain more toxic materials than traditional silicon photovoltaic cells.
In terms of siting and installing solar panels, as is being done here in Niagara County, there are no direct adverse effects on human health, such as cancer, from living near solar facilities. The real considerations that must be taken into account are environmental. Local officials involved in this siting need to require careful environmental investigation to identify and minimize negative impacts.
'WILDLIFE-FRIENDLY' SHOULD BE A HIGH PRIORITY
In terms of protecting natural wildlife, an important concern, the Nature Conservancy has offered a set of guiding principles for wildlife-friendly solar siting and design. These include: avoiding areas of high native biodiversity, protecting pathways that allow wildlife connections (such as the routes that wildlife uses to find food), prioritizing the use of land that is already degraded, protecting water quality and avoiding erosion, and restoring native vegetation and grasslands as well as wildlife habitat.
It is important to first prioritize siting of solar projects on brownfields, abandoned mining land, rooftops, parking lots, and existing transportation and power transmission routes.
Converting marginal agricultural land to utility scale solar projects that are managed for biodiversity can actually have a net positive impact on habitat, by leading to the reduced use of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides that actually are dangerous to human health.
As communities consider proposed solar projects, there are some specific things that can be required to protect local wildlife and the local environment.
To comply with National Electric and National Fire Protection codes, utility-scale solar facilities are required to install fencing that is at least 7 feet high. This could have the effect of blocking huge amounts of acreage from the wildlife populations that use that land. Installing wildlife-permeable fencing that allows raccoons, rabbits and other small critters, and underplanting the solar panels with native vegetation, can make these same facilities “solar sanctuaries.”
Planting substantial buffers, which have the added benefit of reducing the visual impact of utility solar facilities, can provide wildlife corridors along project perimeters including for critters that are too large to fit through the wildlife-permeable fencing.
One form of wildlife friendly solar development gaining popularity in New York state is “underplanting” large solar facilities with pollinator plants to mitigate the ongoing collapse of local bee populations which are crucial to local agriculture. The Pollinator-Friendly Solar Act that was passed by the state Assembly and Senate in 2018 sets minimum standards that solar developers must meet to designate their projects as “pollinator-friendly”.
Vegetative cover in solar facilities is critical to keeping the soil in place and preventing erosion. This plant cover can be designed to build soil over time, such as with agricultural cover crops, or it can stabilize soil and restore wildlife habit with native plantings.
PANELS: SAFE FOR PEOPLE, PROBLEMATIC FOR RECYCLERS
The health and environmental impacts of the solar panels themselves as they do the work of generating power from the sun are basically non-existent. The majority of solar panel manufacturers guarantee that their panels will retain 80% of their efficiency for 25 years, but in practice they retain their productivity for far longer.
In order to ensure they are functional for that length of time, the panels must stay sealed to protect against water damage. The cells and their components are encased in layers of plastic and glass, in the same way hurricane windows and car windshields are constructed. This keeps the material from shattering if it somehow breaks. There is no liquid component in the construction or utilization of the panels; if they break, they will not "leak" hazardous materials.
But what about the potential health and environmental impacts that these solar panels could have decades from now when their productive cycle is ended and they need to be "decommissioned"?
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates solar waste could reach 78 million metric tons by 2050. While this is a staggering number it represents a small fraction of electronic waste, when compared to all those tossed-out wide screen TVs, computers, phones and other devices that have productive life spans of far, far less than 25 years.
The difference between solar panels and general electronic waste is that solar panel recycling requires more specialized processes to separate out the components. Right now with existing technologies, these recycling processes are not as economical as making new panels with raw materials. That will need to change over time as more and more panels reach their end use. The European Union now has regulations that require 80% of materials used in PV panels to be recycled, while in the United States these panels are still categorized as general landfill material.
It is also worth noting that the manufacturing of solar panels involves mining of the raw materials required. None of this mining happens here locally but it is still important, from an overall environmental perspective, that action be taken nationally and globally to mitigate the threat that this mining can cause to the environments where it takes place.
As we consider what solar development can look like in Niagara County, it is important to push for designs that provide multiple benefits at once, both electricity generation and protection of our ecosystems side by side. If done intelligently, solar development in Niagara County could mean that we can have more of the things that we cherish here, including both more farmers who are able to stay on their land and pass it on to the next generation and more resilient and abundant biodiversity. But only if we do it intelligently.

The rallies went underway at 10 am in Tehran and over 900 cities across the country and a major part of Muslim states.
The rallies are held to mark Quds Day, which falls on the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan and was initiated by the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini.
People from all walks of life have gathered for the annual event, holding placards with slogans that read ‘Down with Israel, Down with the USA’ to show their contempt for the racist policies of Israel and the US support for the regime.
Hundreds of thousands of Tehraners took to the streets in downtown the capital to commemorate International Quds Day today. Senior Iranian officials also attended the rallies.
Hundreds of residents of Iraq's Basra province took to the streets on Friday morning on the occasion of Quds Day to support the Palestinian people.
Participants in the rallies in Basra province chanted slogans against Tel Aviv and Washington, strongly condemning the Zionist regime's hostile actions against the Palestinians in Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Hundreds of Bahrainis demonstrated in solidarity with the Palestinians on Friday in various parts of the country. The participants in the march demanded the severance of Al Khalifa's relations with the Zionists.
News sources reported that the Palestinians have gradually started to gather in Al-Aqsa Mosque on the occasion of the International Quds Day. According to the latest reports, thousands of Palestinians are currently moving toward the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Asian stocks advanced Friday after Chinese leaders pledged to step up efforts to support the economy as the country weathers its worst outbreaks of COVID-19 since the pandemic began.
Oil prices also rose while U.S. futures were mixed.
Chinese state media reported that the ruling Communist Party's powerful Politburo had pledged to step up efforts to boost growth while also curbing coronavirus outbreaks.
The party's COVID-zero policies have put pressure on President Xi Jinping and other leaders to counter the blow to the economy from shutdowns aimed at vanquishing COVID-19. Such restrictions are affecting the world's second-largest economy through disruptions in shipments, manufacturing and other business activity.
“It is very important to do a good job of economic work and to ensure and improve people’s livelihood," the official Xinhua News Agency said in reporting the meeting.
The report indicated no change in the leaders' strategy for fighting outbreaks.
But it said the meeting agreed on adjusting policies to keep the economy, which was slowing even before the latest waves of coronavirus infections, “operating in a reasonable range” and to speed up implementation of tax rebates and reductions, ensure enough energy supplies and help industries, small businesses and families severely affected by the pandemic.
The Shanghai Composite index gained 2.4% to 3,047.77 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index surged 3.3% to 20,941.61.
Tokyo was closed for a holiday, the first of several in Japan's coming “Golden Week."
In Seoul, the Kospi added 1% to 2,693.26, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 advanced 0.7% to 7,407.70.
The price of U.S. benchmark crude oil gained 83 cents to $106.19 per barrel. It jumped $3.34 to 105.36 per barrel on Thursday.
Brent crude, the basis for pricing international oils, gained $1.18 to $108.50.
After hours on Thursday, SEC filings showed Elon Musk sold 4.4 million shares of Tesla stock worth roughly $4 billion, most likely to help fund his purchase of Twitter.
Tesla shares closed Thursday down slightly at $877.51. They are down 17% so far this year.
Major stock indexes on Wall Street notched their biggest gains in more than six weeks Thursday, as technology companies clawed back some of the ground they had lost recently.
The S&P 500 rose 2.5% to 4,287.50 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.8% to 33,916.39. The Nasdaq picked up 3.1% to 12,871.53.
Smaller company stocks also rallied. The Russell 2000 rose 1.8% to 1,917.94.
This week has been turbulent as investors review a heavy batch of corporate earnings from major tech companies, industrial firms and retailers.
Big Tech and communications companies have been behind much of the oscillations in the broader market as their pricey stock values have more weight.
Apple rose 4.5% in regular trading. It rose another 2.3% in after-hours trading after reporting stronger-than-expected results and increasing its dividend and stock repurchase program.
Chipmaker Qualcomm jumped 9.7% after easily beating Wall Street’s profit estimates. Facebook's parent company Meta surged 17.6%, the biggest gain among S&P 500 stocks, after it beat Wall Street’s first-quarter profit forecasts and reported an encouraging increase in daily users.
Encouraging financial reports helped support gains for several other major companies. McDonald's rose 2.9% following a strong earnings update. Southwest Airlines rose 2.1% after reporting solid revenue and telling investors it expects a profitable year as travel demand returns with the pandemic fading.
Amazon rose 4.7% in regular trading, but slumped 10.5% in after-hours trading after the online retail giant reported its first quarterly loss since 2015. The company reported a decline in sales and huge write-down of its investment in an electric vehicle startup.
Corporate report cards are hitting the market as Wall Street studies how inflation is affecting businesses and consumer spending.
Supply chain issues have been crimping business operations in many industries throughout the recovery from the pandemic and Russia's war against Ukraine has worsened increases for energy and key food commodity prices.
The U.S. Federal Reserve is set to aggressively hike rates as it steps up its fight against inflation. The chair of the Fed has indicated the central bank may hike short-term interest rates by double the usual amount at upcoming meetings, starting next week. It has already raised its key overnight rate once, the first such increase since 2018.
The Commerce Department reported Thursday that the U.S. economy shrank last quarter for the first time since the pandemic recession struck two years ago. But the report showed consumers and businesses kept spending, despite rising prices suggesting demand is resilient.
Investors will get another update Friday on spending, a barometer for the economy as everything from food to clothing and gas becomes more expensive, when the Commerce Department releases its personal income and spending report for March. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Asian-shares-jump-as-Chinese-leaders-pledge-help-17135659.php | 2022-04-29T07:31:42Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Asian-shares-jump-as-Chinese-leaders-pledge-help-17135659.php | true | 21 |
James Corden has revealed that he'll be leaving The Late Late Show next year. His contract on the US talk show was set to end in August, however, he has announced that he will stay until next spring having extended his contract with CBS.
The Gavin and Stacey creator and star moved across the pond to host his primetime show six years ago. He took over as presenter of The Late Late Show in 2015 from Scottish-born comedian Craig Ferguson, who spent 10 years as host.
Revealing the news of his impending departure personally during the latest episode talk-show, a teary James said the programme had "changed my life" and promised there would be "lots of tears" when his tenure came to an end.
"Seven and half years ago I started hosting this show and there’s no other way to put it, it has changed my life," the 43-year-old TV host said. " love it, I love all the people that work here, I am so proud of what we’ve achieved, it’s been beyond my wildest, wildest dreams.
"When I started this journey it was always going to be just that, a journey, an adventure. I never saw as it as my final destination, and I never want this show to overstay its welcome, I love making it and I really think in a year from now that will be a good time to move on and see what’s out there."
Despite his status as a British host of a US late night show, James has enjoyed immense success with the programme which features scores of celebrity guests and special segments. His popular Carpool Karaoke series, in which he drives to work with different musicians, singing their back catalogue over the radio and discussing their careers, has included Adele, Billie Eilish, Sir Paul McCartney and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
He promised viewers that his final 12 months would be full of fan favourites and "other surprises" which would be "a blast". "We are all determined to make this the best year we have ever had … we are going to go out with a bang,” he said. "There’s going to be carpools and crosswalks and sketches and other surprises and there will be tears, there will be so many tears.”
He added: "This has been the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make. I’ve never taken this job for granted. Ever. Not once. The fact that you watch this … all over the world … is an absolute privilege for me and every single person who makes this show. Here’s to the next twelve months and it’s going to be a blast, I promise you that."
It was reported back in October that bosses were keen to keep him at the helm of the popular series, offering huge money to get him to stay. However, a source close to the presenter has said that James and his wife Julia Carey want to spent more time in the UK with their family.
They told The Sun : "James and Jules have had barely any time to see their families in the UK over the past few years due to his work schedule. Their plan is to try to spend more time in the UK once he finishes The Late Late Show next year." | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/tv/james-corden-quits-late-late-23818918 | 2022-04-29T07:32:43Z | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/tv/james-corden-quits-late-late-23818918 | true | 4 |
Measles cases soar 400 percent in Africa this year
BRAZZAVILLE
Africa is facing an explosion of preventable diseases due to delays in vaccinating children, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on April 28, with measles cases jumping 400 percent.
Twenty African countries reported measles outbreaks in the first quarter of this year, eight more than in the first three months of 2021.
The Africa region recorded almost 17,500 cases of the highly contagious virus between January and March.
The WHO and the UN’s children’s agency UNICEF announced Wednesday in Geneva that measles cases surged by nearly 80 percent worldwide this year, warning that the rise of the "canary in a coal mine" illness indicates that outbreaks of other diseases are likely on the way.
Most of the outbreaks were in Africa and the eastern Mediterranean.
WHO’s Africa regional bureau said outbreaks of other vaccine-preventable diseases have also become more common on the continent.
Some 24 African nations confirmed epidemics due to a variant of polio in 2021 - four more than during the previous year.
Thirteen countries had epidemics of yellow fever last year, up from nine in 2020 and three in 2019.
"Inequalities in accessing vaccines, disruptions by the Covid-19 pandemic, including a huge strain on health system capacities, impaired routine immunisation services in many African countries and forced the suspension of vaccination drives," WHO said.
"The rise in outbreaks of other vaccine-preventable diseases is a warning sign," WHO’s regional director for Africa Matshidiso Moeti told an online briefing.
"As Africa works hard to defeat Covid-19, we must not forget other health threats," she added.
The measles virus attacks mainly children with the most serious complications including blindness, brain swelling, diarrhoea and severe respiratory infections. | https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/measles-cases-soar-400-percent-in-africa-this-year-173378 | 2022-04-29T07:33:29Z | https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/measles-cases-soar-400-percent-in-africa-this-year-173378 | true | 6 |
Tata Passenger Electric Mobility (TPEM), unveiled the AVINYA Concept – an expression of the Company’s vision of a pure electric vehicle, based on its GEN 3 architecture. Derived from the Sanskrit language, the name AVINYA stands for ‘Innovation’.
The AVINYA Concept introduces new mobility that liberates roominess and comfort, not restricted by traditional segmentation. “It comes packed with new-age technology, software and Artificial Intelligence that work in the background to deliver wellness and tranquillity during transit.” the company said.
The AVINYA concept will be accessible to a majority of customers in the fast-growing, high volume segments of today. With this, Tata is all set to launch multiple EVs in the market by 2025.
Originally inspired by a catamaran, the AVINYA Concept is a vision for electric mobility. Tata Motors claims that “it’s a product which combines the essence of a premium hatch to the luxuries and versatility of an SUV and the roominess and functionality of an MPV.”
The AVINYA Concept features a unique DRL that runs across the front of the vehicle, along with butterfly doors, voice-activated systems, and the usage of sustainable materials. The concept is screen-less, to bar any distractions inside the car.
The concept is built on Tata’s Pure EV GEN 3 Architecture, which offers flexible design, better connectivity, advanced driver assistance systems, and enhanced performance and efficiency. According to Tata Motors, the AVINYA concept’s battery pack offers a range of 500 km, while being able to charge in under 30 minutes.
Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons and Tata Motors said,“While making the AVINYA Concept a reality, the central idea was to offer a mobility solution like no other – a state of the art software on wheels that is well designed, sustainable and reduces the planet’s carbon footprint. Green Mobility is at the nucleus of TPEM, and the AVINYA Concept is the perfect reflection of what the company stands for – a creation that will not only accelerate the adoption of EVs but also lead this movement.”
He added, “Furthermore, at the Tata group, we are uniquely positioned to bring all the expertise that is necessary to build these mobility solutions and we are confident that in years to come we will make a larger and sustainable impact not only in India but globally as well.”
Speaking on the occasion, Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd. said, “It is indeed a matter of pride for us at TPEM to present the AVINYA Concept to the world, a vision pivotal in signalling a ‘New Paradigm’. Holding on to its values of Simplicity, Timelessness, Effortlessness and Grace, the AVINYA is not only a concept but is our new identity, an identity which is here to challenge the status quo.”
He added, “It gives me an intense sense of optimism to present a new typology of vehicles that will introduce the automobile industry to options beyond mobility – a tranquil space which will offer you a complete sensory experience while on the move. At its heart, the AVINYA Concept has ‘IN’, which demonstrates our Indian roots and highlights how we pride ourselves in discovering new ways to move and power vehicles.”
“The AVINYA Concept is the fruition of our first idea built on our Pure EV GEN 3 architecture, enabling us to produce a range of globally competitive EVs. Our vision for pure EVs is focused on delivering wellness and rejuvenation while travelling, backed by cutting-edge technologies, aimed at improving the overall quality of life,” added Shailesh. | https://www.financialexpress.com/express-mobility/vehicles/electric-vehicles/tata-motors-unveils-avinya-ev-concept/2507676/ | 2022-04-29T07:35:14Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/express-mobility/vehicles/electric-vehicles/tata-motors-unveils-avinya-ev-concept/2507676/ | true | 2 |

Are you a rice-cooker obsessive yet? If not, you’re about to be. The kitchen appliance, though named for one particular food, is one of the most versatile tools you can get your hands on and it will change the way you prepare your meals (for the better). Everything becomes that little bit easier. Which is a dream for anyone with limited time.
If you think about it, the rice cooker works similarly in principle as the slow cooker (another versatile set-and-forget meal-making appliance): it uses moist heat over a period of time to cook food, trapping the flavours in the pot. Some rice cookers even have a “slow cook” setting, which means you can potentially replace your slow cooker with a rice cooker.
Even if you have the most basic rice cooker, one with just two settings — cook and warm, as Roger Ebert recommended — you can still “trick” your rice cooker to make more than just rice. Oh, and if you don’t have one yet, but are looking to invest so you can try out these ace recipes, check out our faves here.
Breakfast food rice cooker recipes
Your rice cooker might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you want to make breakfast, but many breakfast foods can indeed be made in the rice cooker.
Boiled eggs: There are approximately a billion different techniques for producing the perfect and ultimate boiled egg. The rice cooker is another one.
Although I prefer using a pressure cooker, the rice cooker has similar benefits: cooking many eggs at once and producing easy-to-peel eggs. The rice cooker, admittedly, won’t save you any time over just doing it on the stove, but it’s pretty hands-off. Also, technically, the eggs aren’t boiled, they’re steamed, but eggs will come out like soft, medium hard-boiled eggs in the rice cooker.
See this Reddit thread for steaming times.
Frittatas: Perhaps you prefer a frittata to boiled eggs? Pre-cook some vegetables or whatever ingredients you want in your frittata (you can microwave the veggies), then whisk some eggs right in the rice cooker bowl and add your ingredients to the egg mixture. Cook on the regular rice setting and when it’s done, you’ve got a quick breakfast (or dinner) for at least two people, depending on your rice cooker size. Here’s a recipe from Just Bento.
Porridge and other hot breakfast cereals: Yes, you can make porridge in a rice cooker. Let the oats soak overnight in the rice cooker, then turn it on in the morning for a hot breakfast in about half an hour (or set the timer, if available, for the porridge to be done when you drag yourself out of bed). Compared to a crock pot, the nonstick rice pot is easier to clean and you can make smaller amounts without worrying about the porridge crusting on the bottom. The Kitchn suggests using 1 cup of regular old-fashioned oats to 1 3/4 cups of liquid or 1 cup of steel-cut oats to 2 1/2 cups of liquid (water and milk, for example), then cooking it on the lower-temp porridge setting. (Sorry those of you who have the basic on/off rice cooker, this meal seems to require the porridge setting.)
Giant pancake: And then there’s the epic rice-cooker recipe for a pancake aka a giant pancake cake that’s fit for a big breakfast or dessert.
Whole meal and side dish rice cooker recipes
One of the best things about the rice cooker is that you can mix in ingredients for a one-pot meal and basically walk away.
Steamed meats and vegetables: While you cook your rice, why not steam vegetables and meats at the same time? As a bonus, the meats/vegetables enhance the flavour of the rice or you could use broth to cook the rice and up the flavour of the entire dish. Your rice cooker should have instructions for using the steaming tray (if it came with one), but here are approximate steaming times from Aroma Housewares:
Start the rice first and then insert the steaming tray with your vegetables/meats towards the end of the cycle. You can even steam a whole fish in a steamer basket lined with vegetables for a full one-pot meal. Or try steaming fully cooked sausages on a bed of sauerkraut and potatoes (30-40 minutes cooking time).
Pork roast: In lieu of a slow cooker, Apartment Therapy experimented with using a rice cooker to slow cook a pork roast:
Our rice cooker has a few different settings, including one that will just keep the pot warm. This is the setting that you’ll leave your cooker on for most of the time. To start out, place your ingredients in the rice cooker. I placed a pork roast, onions, curry, soy sauce, chilli sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and a few other spices including coriander. I usually guestimate the proportions.
After the normal rice-cooking setting cycle, change to the warming setting and leave for an hour. You can cook just about any meat in the rice cooker this way, even an entire chicken.
Mac and cheese: Creamy mac and cheese with minimal effort or stove-watching. Endless adaptability and easy cleanup. The rice cooker is the ideal vehicle for homemade mac and cheese. By the way, you can cook other pastas in the rice cooker, either plain pasta or an entire pasta and meat sauce meal or Cubano casserole (pictured above).
Beans: You’ll still need to soak your beans, and cooking time ranges between 30 minutes to 4 hours (soybeans take the longest), but with a rice cooker you don’t have to watch over a pot for cooking lentils, soybeans, kidney beans, soybeans and other beans. If your rice cooker has a timer, you can soak the beans and set it to start cooking for when you want the beans to be done. See this cooking time chart from The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook, a book I highly recommend to every rice cooker owner.
Soups, stews and chillis: Basically, just throw everything into the pot and see what happens. As Roger Ebert advises:
Let’s make some soup. Assemble your ingredients. Throw them in the pot. Add enough water to make it soup. I have been known to start with a can of Health Valley or Pritkin soup and add fresh ingredients. I have also been known to start with Health Valley chilli and add ground beef, spices, and a small chopped onion late in the day, Slam down the lid. This watched Pot boils. Click to Warm when the soup looks about right. If it looks undercooked, add a little more water and keep going. You will also learn to add the ingredients in a mixture in the reverse order of how long you think they will take to cook. For example, dried beans first. Even let them sit in water and Warm for a while. If you’re in a hurry, throw them in and boil them. The hell with them. Never put in meat and chicken so soon it will overcook. There are no rules. You are Aunt Mary. The last ingredients into the Pot should be the things you like still a little crunchy, like frozen peas and corn.
Stews. Like soup only with less water, Albert Einstein.
Anything soup-, stew-, or chilli-like gets the same treatment. Just be careful the whole thing doesn’t overflow. Otherwise, have fun with it.
Snack and dessert rice cooker recipes
If you don’t want to turn on the oven and wait for it to heat up (or you perhaps live without a conventional oven), your rice cooker is your dessert-making friend.
Hommus: Homemade hommus is a treat and you can customise it to be as garlicky or mild as you want. The rice cooker takes care of cooking the chickpeas (it takes about half an hour) and then you can simply puree the chickpeas with your other hummus ingredients.
Poached/cooked fruit: Cook fruit in hot liquid to soak up the flavours and you’ve got poached fruit. Wine-poached pears, for example, poached pomegranate spiced pears, poached rhubarb and strawberries, homemade applesauce, and more can conveniently be made in your rice cooker.
Tapioca pudding: Many rice cookers (the fuzzy logic kind with many different settings) have a pudding setting. So why not use it to make tapioca pudding? In the rice cooker, you can use whole pearl tapioca (normally a time-consuming pain to make on the stove) and fold in fruit and other ingredients, such as coconut milk instead of regular milk. It’s as simple as can be in the rice cooker: put in your tapioca pearls, mix in the milk and other ingredients, and set it on the porridge cycle.
Cheesecake: The rice cooker can mimic the oven when it comes to baked goods. If you have a hankering for cheesecake, mix the ingredients (cream cheese, eggs, sugar, lemon juice, heavy cream, and flour) in the rice cooker bowl, switch on the normal rice cooking cycle, and when it’s done, you have perhaps the easiest way to make cheesecake.
Chocolate cake: Similarly, this rice cooker cake recipe, which requires no eggs or milk (so it’s fit for vegans and those with allergies) requires just mixing the ingredients in and waiting for about an hour.
Banana bread: “Bake” banana bread in the rice cooker in about an hour and a half. Mix the ingredients, lightly oil the pot, pour the batter in, and cook on the regular rice setting. You might need to run the cycle twice, World Island View‘s recipe suggests.
Bonus: other grains
Rice is a grain, so it probably isn’t a huge surprise that you can cook all sorts of other grains in the rice cooker — quinoa, rice pilaf, risotto, polenta, couscous, and even a pseudo paella dish (just mix the sausage, chicken, and other ingredients in with the rice). You can even make a breakfast burrito in your rice cooker: cook rice, tomatoes, and peppers together and crack some eggs in when the rice is done, letting the eggs cook during the “keep warm” setting for ten minutes before scooping the whole thing into tortillas. But I bet most of us rice cooker owners aren’t using the machine to make more than just plain rice.
It will take some experimenting with the timing and settings to get a one-pot meal or different dish out of that rice cooker, but, chances are, you can probably cook anything your heart desires in it. Want even more ideas? Aroma Housewares has 275 different rice cooker recipes (that aren’t anything to do with making rice), including clam chowder, enchiladas and buffalo wings.

New Delhi, April 29: An encounter broke out between the Delhi Police’s Crime Branch and wanted criminals in South Delhi’s Chitranjan Park on Friday morning.
The accused identified as Sangram suffered bullet injury in his leg and was taken to hospital. Four of his associates, however, managed to flee.
A senior police official said that following a tip-off a trap was laid near the Chitranjan Park area to nab the accused and his associates.
“Sangram and his associates were asked to surrender but after seeing the policemen they opened fire at the police team. In retaliation we also launched a counter attack in which Sangram suffered a gun wound in his leg. He was finally overpowered while his accomplices managed to flee,” said the police official.
Sangram is a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Kashganj. He is wanted in a number of criminal cases. For the past few months, theft and burglary cases had increased in South Delhi, Sangram and his aides were involved in them, said the police.
A manhunt has been launched to nab the absconding associates of Sangram.
Further investigation in the matter is on. (IANS) | https://theshillongtimes.com/2022/04/29/encounter-in-delhi-wanted-criminal-held-4-flee/ | 2022-04-29T07:44:22Z | https://theshillongtimes.com/2022/04/29/encounter-in-delhi-wanted-criminal-held-4-flee/ | false | 5 |

Mixed feelings with Virgil van Dijk and Arnaut Danjuma: ‘Disappointing result’

Chris Paul is still looking for his perfect ending.
A perfect entry to Round 2 will have to suffice for now.
Paul and the Phoenix Suns — the team with the best record in the NBA this season — have moved on to the Western Conference semifinals, where a matchup with fourth-seeded Dallas awaits. It'll start in Phoenix on Monday night.
And Paul is coming off the perfect game: 14 for 14 from the field, 4 for 4 from the foul line, 33 points in the 115-109 Game 6 first-round series-clincher for Phoenix at New Orleans on Thursday night. It was the most field goals without a miss in NBA playoff history and matched the fourth-most in any NBA game. The three better showings all belong to Wilt Chamberlain — who had games of 15, 16 and 18 makes without a single miss.
“Nobody’s seen this, 14 for 14,” Suns guard Devin Booker said. “This is the first time for all of us.”
Paul and the Suns got to the NBA Finals — his first time there — last season, winning the first two games against the Milwaukee Bucks before dropping the next four and watching Giannis Antetokounmpo and his teammates celebrating a title.
All Phoenix did this season for an encore was win 64 games, earn home-court for the entirety of the NBA playoffs and now moves into Round 2. The Suns ousted eighth-seeded New Orleans in six games to advance, saw Paul make history and got Booker back from a hamstring strain for the clincher.
“All playoff series are hard,” Suns coach Monty Williams said when the series ended, lauding New Orleans’ effort throughout. “Even if you sweep a team, that last game is going to be a battle. So yeah, this certainly helped us. This is not an eighth seed. No way.”
This becomes the second consecutive year that Phoenix needed six games, and a taste of adversity, to get through Round 1. Last year was against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, who took a 2-1 series lead before the Suns won the final three games. This time, it was against a Pelicans team that needed two play-in victories to make the playoffs, finished the year 10 games under .500 but split the first four games and had more than a few moments they’ll savor from the matchup.
“This was a big-time battle,” Williams said. “You would expect a series like this later on in the playoffs. But I think there’s so much parity in the league now. You can’t walk into a first-round series without keeping your left up. You better keep your left up and duck because teams are throwing punches, right out the gate.”
The fight, Williams hopes, steels the Suns for what’s coming. Dallas eliminated Utah later Thursday night, giving Luka Doncic his first series win — and the Mavericks’ first trip to the second round since 2011, when they won the NBA title.
“I’m ready,” Doncic said in an on-court interview in Salt Lake City after the Mavericks advanced. “It’s going to be a fun series.”
The Suns probably agree and flew back from New Orleans feeling great, with good reason. The Suns got a closeout win on the road, which always boosts confidence. Paul played the perfect game. And Booker reported no issues with his hamstring.
“It’s big,” Paul said. “Having Book back is everything.”

Climate change will result in thousands of new viruses spread among animal species by 2070 — and that’s likely to increase the risk of emerging infectious diseases jumping from animals to humans, according to a new study.
This is especially true for Africa and Asia, continents that have been hotspots for deadly disease spread from humans to animals or vice versa over the last several decades, including the flu, HIV, Ebola and coronavirus.
Researchers, who published their findings Thursday in the journal Nature, used a model to examine how over 3,000 mammal species might migrate and and share viruses over the next 50 years if the world warms by 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), which recent research shows is possible.
They found that cross-species virus spread will happen over 4,000 times among mammals alone. Birds and marine animals weren’t included in the study.
Researchers said not all viruses will spread to humans or become pandemics the scale of the coronavirus but the number of cross-species viruses increases the risk of spread to humans.
The study highlights two global crises — climate change and infectious disease spread — as the world grapples with what to do about both.
Previous research has looked at how deforestation and extinction and wildlife trade lead to animal-human disease spread, but there’s less research about how climate change could influence this type of disease transmission, the researchers said at a media briefing Wednesday.
“We don’t talk about climate a lot in the context of zoonoses” — diseases that can spread from animals to people, said study co-author Colin Carlson, an assistant professor of biology at Georgetown University. “Our study … brings together the two most pressing global crises we have.”
Experts on climate change and infectious disease agreed that a warming planet will likely lead to increased risk for the emergence of new viruses.
Daniel R. Brooks, a biologist at University of Nebraska State Museum and co-author of the book “The Stockholm Paradigm: Climate Change and Emerging Disease,” said the study acknowledges the threat posed by climate change in terms of increasing risk of infectious diseases.
“This particular contribution is an extremely conservative estimate for potential” emerging infectious disease spread caused by climate change, said Brooks.
Aaron Bernstein, a pediatrician and interim director of The Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, said the study confirms long-held suspicions about the impact of warming on infectious disease emergence.
“Of particular note is that the study indicates that these encounters may already be happening with greater frequency and in places near where many people live,” Bernstein said.
Study co-author Gregory Albery, a disease ecologist at Georgetown University, said that because climate-driven infectious disease emergence is likely already happening, the world should be doing more to learn about and prepare for it.
“It is not preventable, even in the best case climate change scenarios,” Albery said.
Carlson, who was also an author on the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said we must cut greenhouse gas and phase out fossil fuels to reduce the risk of infectious disease spread.
Jaron Browne, organizing director of the climate justice group Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, said the study highlights climate injustices experienced by people living in African and Asian nations.
“African and Asian nations face the greatest threat of increased virus exposure, once again illustrating how those on the frontlines of the crisis have very often done the least to create climate change,” Browne said.

IAEA says Russia's Chornobyl occupation was very dangerous
KYIV, April 26 (Reuters) - The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency on Tuesday decried as "very, very dangerous" Russia's temporary occupation of the Chornobyl nuclear power station and offered to help Ukraine repair damage caused to the stricken plant.
Rafael Grossi, the IAEA's director general, was speaking on the 36th anniversary of the world's worst civil nuclear power disaster at the plant when its fourth reactor caught fire and exploded on April 26, 1986.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy denounced Russian behaviour at the site and said Moscow had shown total disregard for nuclear safety on the anniversary by sending rockets over Chornobyl and two other functioning nuclear power stations.
Russian troops moved into the highly contaminated "exclusion zone" surrounding the Chornobyl plant days after launching their Feb. 24 incursion. They withdrew late last month.
"The situation was absolutely abnormal and very, very dangerous," Grossi told reporters outside the station 140 km (87 miles) north of Kyiv.
Zelenskiy, speaking in a late night address on Tuesday, said Russian troops had stolen equipment used to measure radiation.
Ukrainian officials earlier complained the troops had pulled heavy equipment through the zone, disturbing contaminated territory and sending up radioactive dust. The troops for a time prevented staff from leaving the station, where they oversee large amounts of spent fuel and other radioactive materials.
Speaking later in Kyiv after talks with Zelenskiy, Grossi said the IAEA and Ukraine would take on "special work" at Chernobyl to restore "all the capacities there and the infrastructure that was damaged in the past few weeks".
Zelenskiy, in his nightly video, said the Russians' conduct after taking over the plant meant "it appears they have no understanding what Chornobyl is at all".

Runway 34 Movie Review: No more than a handful of mid-air thrillers or airplane movies (whatever floats your boat) in general have left a lasting impression both at the box office and in the audience’s minds down the years. The ones that immediately spring to mind are Air Force One, Executive Decision, Con Air and Airport 1975. The number reduces way more in Bollywood, with just Neerja and Bell Bottom being the only ones that hold their head high. So, where does Runway 34, starring Ajay Devgn Amitabh Bachchan and Rakul Preet Singh find itself? And does Ajay Devgn, who’s two erstwhile directorial efforts, U Me Aur Hum and Shivaay, don’t hold fond memories, finally redeems himself behind the camera? Well… the answer to both those questions is a resounding “yes”.Also Read - Runway 34 Full HD Available For Free Download Online on Tamilrockers and Other Torrent Sites
What’s it about
Captain Vikrant Khanna (Ajay Devgn) is forced to land his plane in a life-threatening situation due to a combination of torrential weather and over-confidence. Despite pulling off a heroic landing and saving the lives of all his passengers, an inquiry is held after AAIB senior counselor believes he’s guilty of putting everybody’s life in danger.

What’s hot
Runway 34 is hands down for the most technically brilliant films made in Bollywood. Not only do the shots of the plane under turbulence look extremely convincing, but you almost feel as if you’re inside the plane when it’s perilously landing. Ajay Devgn has always been a technically very sound filmmaker though as exhibited even in U Me Aur Hum and Shivaay. It’s his creative avenues that wouldn’t match up, but this time, everything flows like a well-oiled machine as the tension in the plane is justifiably taken down a notch or two in the court scenes, but the powder keg atmosphere more or less remains the same. It helps though this is also a brilliantly scripted film with dialogues that elevate most situations and clues left strewn all over only for them to act as a turning point in the plot later on. It also helps that you have superstars like Ajay Devgn and Amitabh Bachchan trying to outdo each other, with Rakul Preet rendering her best act yet, and Boman Irani, Aakanksha Singh and Angira Dhar all playing their parts to the T. Aseem Bajaj’s excellent camerawork and Amar Mohile’s background score are the icing on the cake.

What’s not
Some of the plot points feel a bit too contrived, especially in the face of such strong writing and direction around them while there are a couple of scenes, too, which could’ve easily been done away with. Additionally, Dharmendra Sharma’s editing doesn’t always leave the same impact as the other superior technical aspects. And Carry Minati’s much-hyped Bollywood cameo turns out to be all gas – he’s just annoying and can’t act to save his life.
Verdict
Runway 34 is one of the most well shot, technically brilliant and well written films in recent memory in Bollywood, with some extremely strong dialogues to boot that elevate any situation. The combination of edge-of-the seat mid-air thrills and hard-hitting courtroom drama first make you feel like you’re in the plane with the other passengers whose lives are on the line and then you have a ringside seat to a battle of wits between Ajay Devgn and Amitabh Bachchan at their very best. Watch out, too, for Rakul Preet Singh’s profoundly heartfelt performance. Barring a few plot contrivances and scenes that could’ve been done away with, this is certain to go down as one of the best airplane thrillers, and not just in Bollywood, which demands to be savoured on the big screen. I’m going with 4 out of 5 stars. | https://www.india.com/entertainment/runway-34-movie-review-ajay-devgn-amitabh-bachchan-bring-a-witty-tug-of-war-in-a-fast-paced-thriller-latest-movie-review-5364874/ | 2022-04-29T08:04:57Z | https://www.india.com/entertainment/runway-34-movie-review-ajay-devgn-amitabh-bachchan-bring-a-witty-tug-of-war-in-a-fast-paced-thriller-latest-movie-review-5364874/ | true | 1 |

Twitter, Elon Musk: “Freedom of speech on Twitter”. Tesla’s boss continues: “Trump’s social network? Terrible name “
With a view to realizing its acquisition plan of Twitter, Elon Musk relaunches the need to guarantee freedom of speech and points out that the new social network created by the former US president Donald Trumpcalled Truth (created right after Trump was kicked off the platform) has a “terrible” name and exists precisely because Twitter has censored the “free Speech“, ie freedom of speech.
Should be called Trumpet instead!
– Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 27, 2022
Twitter, the founder of Tesla: “Trust us. Politically neutral social “
“Currently Truth Social is beating Twitter onApple Store“, underlines in another tweet the patron of Tesla. As for the “terrible name”, according to Musk “it should be called a trumpet rather!”.
“For Twitter to deserve the trust of the public, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means bothers the far right and the far left alike,” concludes on Twitter. founder from Tesla Elon Musk.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Washington Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously rejected an effort to recall Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The justices upheld a Thurston County Superior Court decision that the charges made against Inslee did not provide factually or legally sufficient grounds to support a recall campaign.
The recall petition was brought by a citizen group called Washingtonians to Recall Insleee. It alleged that the governor’s orders limiting activities and gatherings during the pandemic interfered with their rights.
For example, the petition argued, Inslee violated the separation of powers by banning landlords from suing tenants for overdue rent; violated constitutional rights of assembly and to petition the government for redress of grievances by prohibiting public agencies from holding in-person meetings; and violated the right to assemble by limiting the size of in-person gatherings.
The court, however, found that Inslee’s proclamations were well within his emergency powers.
“Governor Inslee has used his discretion to navigate this pandemic, making difficult decisions in an effort to balance the health and safety of Washingtonians with their individual liberties,” Justice Debra Stephens wrote for the court. “While reasonable minds may disagree with the governor’s discretionary decisions, such disagreement is insufficient to support a recall.”
The recall backers did not explain how a temporary limitation on the ability of landlords to sue their tenants infringed on the power of the courts; there were adequate alternative means, such as telephonic or online meetings, to ensure public access to government; and restrictions on gatherings were not directed at suppressing speech but “tailored to serve a substantial government interest,” the justices said.
Olympia resident C Davis, who brought the appeal of the superior court ruling last June, told The Associated Press on Thursday he had not yet read the Supreme Court opinion but the result was “not too much of a surprise.”
Washingtonians to Recall Inslee is ready to support another recall effort, by a different proponent, that will make three new charges against the governor, Davis said.
Washington faced one of the first known outbreaks of COVID-19 and was among the first states to implement sweeping restrictions in the early days of the pandemic. It has since eased or rescinded many restrictions, such as bans on large gatherings and vaccination requirements for such gatherings, while others, such as a mask requirement for healthcare settings, long-term care facilities and jails, remain in effect. | https://www.kxl.com/washington-justices-unanimously-reject-gov-inslee-recall-effort/ | 2022-04-29T08:11:24Z | https://www.kxl.com/washington-justices-unanimously-reject-gov-inslee-recall-effort/ | true | 19 |

The section of road between both intersections of Goosehaven Road and State 3 closed this week.
Crews with the Idaho Transportation Department started work on the dike widening project and have been removing vegetation along the shoulders and excavating the northbound lane starting April 25.
Traffic is already using the State 3 detour on Goosehaven Road as it was prepared by crews last week.
The ITD prepared the road by using a grader to roll out potholes and applied magnesium chloride to the route in efforts to keep dust down during the construction.
Last year, the ITD allocated $18 million and the project was bid at $13 million.
ITD plans to widen the section of highway by 11 feet to the east which will make room for 11 foot travel lanes and shoulders that are three feet wide.
The crews will also install a guardrail on the east side of the highway as well.
The project is slated to be active for three months with crews hoping to re-open the stretch of highway by the end of June.
Motorists will need to stay informed on possible delays. The ITD is encouraging motorists to regularly check into 511.idaho.gov or pay close attention to construction signs on the highway for any changes.

Our SaddleBrooke Lady Niners Invitational tournament held on Monday, March 28 was a great day and a huge success. We had 124 ladies golfing on two different courses in SaddleBrooke - 81 were from outside clubs in the Tucson area and across the state. Golfing at our SaddleBrooke courses definitely is a draw. Many golfers commented on how green and beautiful our courses are. We certainly appreciate our golf course staff for all they do to maintain and enhance our courses. Many thanks also to our sister MountainView Preserve Lady Niners who brought many golfers and also provided much-needed golf carts to accommodate the many golfers at this event. The fun theme for this invitational was We’re Going on a Safari. We saw many ladies dressed in animal designs amongst those wearing their club colors.
This event started at 7 a.m. with a continental breakfast that included yummy pastries and the coffee we so wanted to start our day. During this time, we purchased special mulligan packets that also included free putt coupons that proved to be very useful. We had plenty of time for a fun miniature-golf-style putting game and to practice at the driving range. At 9 a.m., we began the main event that was playing a 9-hole team shotgun golf game. In addition to team scores, we had competitions for closest to the hole, closest to the line and longest putt. This event was a nice way to get to know golfers in other Niner leagues. We appreciate everyone who came to play and offer huge thanks to Edie Crall and her committee who did so much to make this event such a success.
After golfing, we enjoyed a luncheon at the Vistas Restaurant that included a Birdie Salad with grilled chicken on a bed of mixed greens with mandarin oranges, red bell pepper and fried wontons. The room and tables were very attractively decorated by the talented Vicki Long and her team. Our Niners created many beautiful baskets that resulted in a successful basket raffle. There also was an always-popular cash raffle. The success of this raffle enables us to donate $970 to Tucson Girls Junior Golf, a great mid-year contribution to a worthy cause.
Many prizes were awarded during the luncheon. Most notably, the winners of the golf tournament were:
SaddleBrooke Course
- First Place: Judy Lynch, Jean Lorch, Lane Kemper and Susan Lucci
- Second Place: Nancy Fuller-Wilson, Dorra Bost, Maureen Herr and Pat Dale
- Third Place: Sue Skeen, Pattie Liberman, Rebecca Ray and Tina Webber
Tucson Course
- First Place: Sandi Harrell, Beth Smith, Rosemary Bounds and Terry Hoffman
- Second Place: Dee Reynolds, Elaine Wood, Margie Hanson and Hedy Gryszan
- Third Place: Phyllis Solti, Mary Capra and Reggie Wegman
The Pro Shop added many new items and offered sale prices so the day ended with many ladies shopping. What a great day! We plan to hold another Invitational in 2024.
SaddleBrooke Lady Niners is a fun, friendly league of lady golfers who play a 9-hole golf game each Tuesday morning. If you would like to play golf regularly, join the SaddleBrooke Lady Niners. Check us out at sb9ers.org. New membership applications are available outside the SaddleBrooke Pro Shop in the posting room.
We Niners are very appreciative of our event sponsors: Desert Life Pharmacy, RidgeView Physical Therapy, Coyote Golf Cars, Golf Cars of Arizona, and Morris Hall PLLC. | https://tucson.com/saddlebag/sports/lady-niners-invitational-tournament-was-a-big-roar-of-success/article_df79e496-bf55-11ec-8296-dfd23f5029a7.html | 2022-04-29T08:20:24Z | https://tucson.com/saddlebag/sports/lady-niners-invitational-tournament-was-a-big-roar-of-success/article_df79e496-bf55-11ec-8296-dfd23f5029a7.html | false | 1 |

‘I am not Tendulkar, Dhoni or Kohli, why do they want to make a film on me?’ Pravin Tambe refused to make a biopic in 1st Time – ‘I am not Tendulkar, Dhoni or Kohli, why do they want to make a film on me?’ Praveen Tambe refused to make a biopic in the first place
‘I am not Tendulkar, Dhoni or Kohli, why do they want to make a film on me?’ This was Praveen Tambe’s first reaction when a production house approached him with the idea of making a film on his life. At a special screening held for Kolkata Knight Riders at a hotel in Mumbai, he made his debut in the film ‘Kaun Praveen Tambe?’ Saw it.
Shreyas Iyer was also present at that time. He started crying. His former Mumbai teammate Abhishek Nair and foreign players hugged him at the end of the film. Praveen Tambe was asked to address the audience, but could not; Not a single word came out of his mouth. He somehow controlled his emotions. Praveen Tambe told ‘The Indian Express’, ‘The only thing I could tell him is to chase your dreams and dreams do come true’.
Perhaps there are very few people who are more qualified than him to say these words with confidence. Perhaps he did not even know that his life would change so dramatically. Pravin Tambe was playing the Champions League in the Caribbean when the film on his life was about to release. He was not even able to give his final approval for film production. His family did this work for him.
Tambe says shyly, ‘I asked my wife and my brother, how will it be? Everyone said it was great. He was narrating the story to me, I said no no no please don’t let me watch the film myself. Then I laughed, oh that’s just my story. Still, when the filmmakers approached him for the film, Tambe couldn’t believe it.
Tambe, now part of the coaching team with KKR, said over the phone, ‘The first time I said no, I didn’t show any interest, but they called me again and requested to meet me once. They wanted to show the journey of 41-year-old Tambe. His words that touched me were that people knew that you made your debut at the age of 41, but what you did in the last 20 years, people have to know your struggle. I agreed.’
The script of Pravin Tambe’s life took many turns. One step forward, two steps back. It was his childhood dream to play cricket professionally, but it came to a halt. There are many people who believe that the fate of life runs in the lines of the palms, but in the case of copper, it was their palms that really changed the course of their lives.
It was coach Vidya Paradkar who insisted that Tambe should try the leg-spin, as he has big palms. it took some time but copper Became a leg spinner. At the age of 41, he was selected for the Mumbai Vijay Hazare Trophy team, but did not play. In the year 2013, he was made a part of their team by Rajasthan Royals. After that he also played for other franchises in the IPL. He also played for the Mumbai Ranji Trophy in the 2014 season.
Tambe’s mobile phone inbox has been flooded with messages since the film’s release. He said, ‘My phone has not stopped ringing. Thousands of messages have arrived on my phone. Earlier I used to get messages from the cricketing world, but now I am getting messages from corporate and other sectors. It means the film has touched the hearts of many people.
Before filming, the production crew also told him that some fictional characters would be added to his biopic. The journalist, who tried to demean Tambe early in his career, was one such fictional character. Before the film, the writers reviewed his past. From Mumbai’s Parel to New Mumbai’s shift, all the areas were covered. Actor Shreyas Talpade had four meetings with Tambe to imitate his action.
Praveen Tambe recalls, “The biggest problem was choosing my pattern. Shreyas Talpade told me that everyone has some pattern and we try to catch it, but in my case there is no pattern. I told him that we always try to be unique as a player, if he studies, the batsman will kill. However, now it would not be wrong to say that from earning Rs 1200 monthly to getting a 6 digit salary cheque, Tambe has seen it all. Now no one asks, ‘Who Praveen Tambe,

BENTONVILLE -- Justice of the Peace Susan Anglin and Shea Crosby, both of Bentonville, want to be the Republican nominee for the District 9 seat on the Benton County Quorum Court.
The Quorum Court is the legislative body of county government and is composed of 15 members called justices of the peace.
Benton County has 15 justice of the peace districts. Republicans hold all 15 seats.
District 9's northernmost border reaches into south-central Centerton and ends at Arkansas 102. It also covers part of southwest Bentonville.
Benton County justices of the peace receive $267 per meeting of the Quorum Court, Committee of the Whole, Finance Committee and American Rescue Plan Committee.
The winner of the May 24 primary will face Democrat Jocelyn Lampkin of Bentonville in the November general election.
Early voting starts May 9.
The Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette asked each candidate the same three questions via email. They were told their answers would be limited to 300 words apiece and may be edited for clarity.
QUESTION: Does the Benton County Jail need to be expanded? Why or why not? If so, how should it be paid for?
ANGLIN: Based on the population growth of Benton County, the years that the jail has lacked enough space for the number of citizens incarcerated, and the recommendation of the committee that includes Sheriff Holloway, the circuit and district judges, Prosecuting Attorney Nathan Smith, County Judge Moehring and community citizens, I support jail expansion. The Quorum Court will decide if this is to be put on the November ballot and the funding mechanism that will be brought to the voters. As a member of the court, I will be open to all discussion on the different ways we can pay for this. No one wants to pay any more taxes, but the county does not have the ability to pay for this project without additional revenue. I would support a combination of reserve funds and a plan for either sales tax or other revenue stream bonding with a sunset date. Doing nothing is not an option, so presenting a detailed plan to our citizens and asking for their support is our job as we seek to provide the services required by state law.
CROSBY: I believe the jail does need expansion; however, prior to expanding to make room for more inmates I know there is a current critical need to increase law enforcement in our area, especially in the jail. I believe jail expansion needs to happen, and I believe there are currently monies in the capital budget that could be considered for use in any jail expansion project (rolling over ARP, CARES, coronavirus monies to general and capital funds). We could also look at what was done for the circuit courthouse expansion -- monies came from budget surplus as well as from short-term bond borrowing (removing need for any tax increase).
QUESTION: Has the Quorum Court done a good job spending or earmarking American Rescue Plan funding? Where would you like to see the money spent?
ANGLIN: I believe we have been cautious and methodical in our approach to how we should spend American Rescue Plan money. I support using the dollars to take care of county government needs first because these will be dollars that would be requested in the future from a variety of departments such as facilities improvements and equipment. Benton County is blessed with organizations that are doing such good work in our communities. Unfortunately, we do not have enough ARP funds to give to all these groups. I will support granting funds to groups most impacted by the pandemic and those that support improvement in economic conditions of our citizens.
CROSBY: There have been many presentations and asks for portions of the funds. To date, I believe the Quorum Court has allocated funds to the county morgue for a trailer and generator as well as to the jail to upgrade its aging air unit. Of the presentations, I had three I was drawn to: Samaritan House in its ask for $750,000 because they have been feeding our community for many years, are seeking to expand as their need has increased and are providing counseling and mental health services to community members that need their services. Unincorporated fire department, Beaver Lake, $1.5 million seems an important one to fund a much needed upgrade to equipment they are using (some as old as 1997 when current standard is from 2018). Gravette Public Library, $2,400 ask for new hotspots, was worthy of the modest spend because it would provide a needed connectivity source for families and individuals to work or attend school, whether virtual school, homeschool, etc.
QUESTION: What makes you the best candidate for District 9?
ANGLIN: I believe the experience I have gained in serving for these past almost 10 years will be of great value as we face the continued discussion of the jail, providing services that are mandated by state law and spending county dollars wisely for current and future needs. I bring my experience as a mother/grandmother, a nurse, a farmer, a landowner, a native of Benton County and a concerned citizen into the job of service. I desire to serve the citizens of District 9 and Benton County and support providing the services for county government that are part of what makes our county the great place I have always experienced.
CROSBY: I am a good candidate for any voter in District 9 who wants conservative Republican leadership guided by Christian principles. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/apr/29/anglin-crosby-seek-republican-nomination-for/ | 2022-04-29T08:23:30Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/apr/29/anglin-crosby-seek-republican-nomination-for/ | false | 1 |

ERSBio, ALCO-Safe add breathalysers to biometric access control
ERSBio, a local specialist in customised biometric time and attendance solutions, has partnered with ALCO-Safe to incorporate breathalysers with advanced reporting capabilities into its offering.
Rhys Evans, MD at ALCO-Safe, says alcohol testing is a 'natural extension' of time and attendance solutions, particularly in industries such as mining and manufacturing.
“In these sectors, the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act mandates that persons under the influence of alcohol are not permitted to enter the workplace, and what better way to prevent this than by incorporating alcohol testing into the access control component,” he explains.
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in organisations moving away from handheld breathalyser equipment that controlled access to the worksite.
To address this, ERSBio and ALCO-Safe worked together to design an integrated breathalyser solution, the Lion ALCONTROL, that can monitor large volumes of people entering the workplace via an access control biometric tool.
How it works
On arrival, the employee places their fingerprint on the biometric hardware in order to confirm that they are a registered employee. Once the biometric confirms the employee’s identity, the unmanned breathalyser will be activated, requiring them to blow. Only once a negative result has been produced on the breathalyser will the employee be granted access to the workplace.
Zander Els, special projects consultant at ERSBio, says as ALCO-Safe is a local manufacturer with local support, years of market experience and quick turnaround times, partnering with them made sense from a development perspective.
“We are using the Lion ALCONTROL, which can operate on bi-directional and man trap style turnstiles, to prevent employees from entering the premises while intoxicated,” Els adds.
The ALCONTROL can be used in any environment for operator-free breathalyser testing. It can be mounted on a wall or fitted to a turnstile as part of an access control system with a siren and a beacon light that attract attention when a positive sample is blown.
No more buddy clocking
The fingerprint or facial biometric technology helps organisations make sure their employees are who they say they are, and are sober, preventing a practice called ‘buddy clocking’.
With this technology, instances of human error are eliminated whereby security personnel may allow workers access to the workplace while neglecting to follow the correct access protocol.
“We have linked the breathalyser to the ERSBio software that enables advanced reporting on each reading," says Els. These reports can be issued to security, safety and HR personnel on a daily or monthly basis, and the information used to pinpoint trends and identify repeat offenders.
“The intelligence behind the data is where the value lies, and there are no limits to the customisation we can achieve,” Els adds. “As soon as a positive blow has been recorded, all relevant parties will be alerted immediately via the reporting mechanism, and the report can even provide suitable evidence including photographs.” | https://www.itweb.co.za/content/Kjlyr7wBg89vk6am | 2022-04-29T08:31:22Z | https://www.itweb.co.za/content/Kjlyr7wBg89vk6am | false | 1 |
All seven prisons in the Central Region are operating below capacity according to Superintendent Vincent Zinel, the Central Regional Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Prisons Service.
The PRO said, there were challenges in all prisons across the world and Ghana was no exception.
He said the Ankaful Maximum Prison was the second state-of-the arts prison complex in Africa and the first in West Africa and therefore, the Region strived to achieve its mandate to provide safe custody of convicted persons and ensure their reformation and rehabilitation for their successful integration into society.
Supt. Ziniel was speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in reaction to the U.S. Department of State’s 2021 Annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices which cited Ghana as having a life-threatening prison system.
The report released on Tuesday, April 12, tagged Ghana’s prisons as not only having harsh conditions, but life-threatening due to overcrowding, inadequate sanitary conditions, lack of medical care, physical abuse, and food shortages.
It said while prisoners had access to potable water, food was inadequate with routinely lacked fruit, vegetables, or meat, forcing prisoners to rely on charitable donations and their families to supplement their diet.
Supt. Ziniel, who indicated that the Region had a total of 2,851 prisoners undergoing reformation and rehabilitation in various prions, said, prisons in the region largely had adequate rooms with standby utility services designed to ensure safe, secure and humane custody of all prisoners in line with international practices.
Supporting his claims, he stated that the Ankaful Maximum Prisons with a capacity of 2000 inmates had only 1,419 while the Ankaful Main Camp Prison with a 700-capacity hosted 530 inmates.
Others including the Ankaful Annex Prison had 470 inmates but had a capacity of 500, Ankaful Communicable Diseases Prison had 70 inmates with a capacity of 100 and Winneba Local with a capacity of 200 but hosted 135
The Osamkrom and Awutu-Camp prisons had 13 and 114 inmates respectively with capacities of 200.
Touching on the sanitation situation in prisons in the Region, particularly the lack of toilet facilities as alleged in the report, Superintendent Ziniel explained that there were toilet facilities in all rooms and outside the prisons parameters for all to use.
The Ankaful Prisons, he noted had toilets and detergents in each room to enable them to live dignified lives to ease the rehabilitation process.
He stated that more could be done to improve feeding grants and medical care for inmates and called on the public to continue the support the service to deliver on its mandate.
He reminded the public of their aim to improve the safety, security, and transparency of Ghana’s prison system, thereby increasing public confidence in the justice system.
They were working to protect society from crime and to reduce reoffending, which could only be achieved if the period in prison was used to prepare the prisoners for reintegration into society upon release to lead a law-abiding and self-supporting life. | https://newsghana.com.gh/all-central-region-prisons-are-operating-below-capacity-pro-reveals/ | 2022-04-29T08:35:17Z | https://newsghana.com.gh/all-central-region-prisons-are-operating-below-capacity-pro-reveals/ | false | 3 |
Chris Paul is still looking for his perfect ending.
A perfect entry to Round 2 will have to suffice for now.
Paul and the Phoenix Suns — the team with the best record in the NBA this season — have moved on to the Western Conference semifinals, where a matchup with fourth-seeded Dallas awaits. It'll start in Phoenix on Monday night.
And Paul is coming off the perfect game: 14 for 14 from the field, 4 for 4 from the foul line, 33 points in the 115-109 Game 6 first-round series-clincher for Phoenix at New Orleans on Thursday night. It was the most field goals without a miss in NBA playoff history and matched the fourth-most in any NBA game. The three better showings all belong to Wilt Chamberlain — who had games of 15, 16 and 18 makes without a single miss.
“Nobody’s seen this, 14 for 14,” Suns guard Devin Booker said. “This is the first time for all of us.”
Paul and the Suns got to the NBA Finals — his first time there — last season, winning the first two games against the Milwaukee Bucks before dropping the next four and watching Giannis Antetokounmpo and his teammates celebrating a title.
All Phoenix did this season for an encore was win 64 games, earn home-court for the entirety of the NBA playoffs and now moves into Round 2. The Suns ousted eighth-seeded New Orleans in six games to advance, saw Paul make history and got Booker back from a hamstring strain for the clincher.
“All playoff series are hard,” Suns coach Monty Williams said when the series ended, lauding New Orleans’ effort throughout. “Even if you sweep a team, that last game is going to be a battle. So yeah, this certainly helped us. This is not an eighth seed. No way.”
This becomes the second consecutive year that Phoenix needed six games, and a taste of adversity, to get through Round 1. Last year was against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, who took a 2-1 series lead before the Suns won the final three games. This time, it was against a Pelicans team that needed two play-in victories to make the playoffs, finished the year 10 games under .500 but split the first four games and had more than a few moments they’ll savor from the matchup.
“This was a big-time battle,” Williams said. “You would expect a series like this later on in the playoffs. But I think there’s so much parity in the league now. You can’t walk into a first-round series without keeping your left up. You better keep your left up and duck because teams are throwing punches, right out the gate.”
The fight, Williams hopes, steels the Suns for what’s coming. Dallas eliminated Utah later Thursday night, giving Luka Doncic his first series win — and the Mavericks’ first trip to the second round since 2011, when they won the NBA title.
“I’m ready,” Doncic said in an on-court interview in Salt Lake City after the Mavericks advanced. “It’s going to be a fun series.”
The Suns probably agree and flew back from New Orleans feeling great, with good reason. The Suns got a closeout win on the road, which always boosts confidence. Paul played the perfect game. And Booker reported no issues with his hamstring.
“It’s big,” Paul said. “Having Book back is everything.”

Compassion is so, so important if civilization is to rise to the heights most of us wish for, but compassion without wisdom can produce Karl Marx communism.
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,” the historical figure said by way of summation in 1875, and what we actually have seen in this fraudulent, dehumanizing economic system is “from each according to tyrannical orders and to each according to whether there is any food available.”
If that’s an understatement, not taking account of millions of deaths, I apologize, but many recent, progressive, mostly Democratic miscalculations have likewise done less to produce a brave, new world than to pulverize the innocent.
Consider free, often unneeded, $1,400 stimulus checks passed out nationally to help individuals and to excite a COVID-recovering economy when the chief consequence instead has been to increase demand when supply is diminished. Even President Joe Biden has agreed that this particular utopian dream evolved into an inflationary nightmare.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as a living example of intellectual imbalance, profound falls and long-term governmental limping, wants 16-year-olds to be allowed to vote nationally, maybe an ego boost for the unqualified as well as an electoral boost for leftists.
Imagination invites all kinds of possibilities, such as more support for a nationally mandated $15-an-hour minimum wage helping teenagers that would likely result in 1 million people losing their jobs, for starters.
Each business is different (some with great profits, some with next to no profits), just as each state is its own thing (some would suffer under such a law) and workers come from different circumstances (some the second or third wage earner in a household and some maybe likely to get a quick promotion).
Transgender and gay folks are more and more accepted in modern society, and that’s a good: less bullying, less cruelty, more open-minded courtesy. But biological men are superior athletes on average to biological women, and it is not OK when one is especially talented and, as a transgender woman, gets in contests with fiercely competitive, hard-working, devoted biological women and cheats them out of victories they deserve. It is putting self before fair play and showing contempt for the sex with which the person now identifies.
One of the most outlandish mishaps during our engagement with the pandemic was keeping schools closed for too long. The point was to save students from COVID infection when we knew that was not much of a threat especially for the younger students and that they would also likely be quick to recover. Experts say they could suffer psychologically and intellectually for years, maybe for the rest of their lives. Thanks, teachers unions.
Climate change is a real problem that we are going to be less capable of handling because of disruption of our fossil fuel production here at home. That handy source will be needed to enable us to have the money necessary for improved technology and decent living conditions with less dependence on untrustworthy international connivers taking advantage of our stupidities.
We ought to keep in mind that we were not affording adequate medical care for veterans until we started having private hospitals and health care providers do more. Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders was initially furious.
The Biden administration plans to reduce the overweight student loan burden from imprudent students who knew what they were doing when they took the money to often attend schools with unbelievably high tuition as well as nice reputations. Those paying them off through taxes will include responsible students who did not receive loans and went to less expensive, less prestigious schools that they could afford if they also worked at tough jobs at the same time. It can be more complicated than that, but it’s not right.
The denied progressive formula: From each according to politics and ideological misconceptions, and to each according to what’s dishonorable. | https://www.yakimaherald.com/opinion/column-the-new-american-way-of-getting-everything-wrong/article_43319f83-0114-5ea6-a6d3-4f73f9ba0ad3.html | 2022-04-29T08:39:20Z | https://www.yakimaherald.com/opinion/column-the-new-american-way-of-getting-everything-wrong/article_43319f83-0114-5ea6-a6d3-4f73f9ba0ad3.html | true | 14 |

Google Translate gets a new “Translate Quick Actions” widget with Material You design
After years of neglect, home screen widgets finally received a big facelift in Android 12. The new widgets follow Material You guidelines and are more useful, responsive, and interactive. Many popular Google apps such as Gmail, YouTube Music, Google Drive, and Maps have already received refreshed home screen widgets. Now one more Google app is getting a widget refresh: Google Translate.
When the Google Translate app received its big Material You redesign late last year, it didn’t bring any update to the home screen widget. But that’s finally changing as Google has started rolling out a revamped Google Translate widget.
Say hello, hola, namaste or konnichiwa to the new Google Translate widget on Android. Learn more → https://t.co/w2BcBo0ozi pic.twitter.com/RHQ7b0SXRl
— Google (@Google) April 28, 2022
The previous widget was quite basic in nature and only offered a quick 1×1 shortcut that you can link to open either the text, camera, conversation, or write mode activity. The new Translate Quick Actions widget is more capable and useful, offering shortcuts to voice translation, conversation, transcribe, and camera mode.
Screenshots credit: Twitter user @pulkit_bbk
The top row displays the currently set language pairing, while a clipboard shortcut appears on the right side. The number of shortcuts changes dynamically as you resize the widget; at max, you can display up to four quick actions. On devices running Android 12, the widget fully supports Dynamic Color theming and takes on the dominant color of your wallpaper.
The new Translate Quick Actions widget hasn’t rolled out widely. It wasn’t available on my Android 12 phone with Google Translate v6.35. Google’s tweet doesn’t reveal much about exact availability. In any case, it shouldn’t be too long before the new widget starts rolling out to everyone.
Interestingly, Google Translate is also working on a “Saved Translations” widget (h/t Mishaal Rahmaan), though it hasn’t rolled out to users yet.

Russia deploys dolphins to protect important naval base at Sevastopol on the Black Sea. American analysts report this based on satellite images from the company Maxar Technologies. The use of such a ‘war flipper’ is not new, especially Americans and Russians train dolphins for military purposes. “It’s like a police sniffer dog, but under water.”

Latest update:

Analysts report in The Washington Post that the dolphins are currently being used to track down mines and enemy divers. A Maxar spokesman, meanwhile, confirms the analysts’ theory, stating that two dolphins have only been seen in the port city since the beginning of the Russian invasion.

Norway’s Constitution Day: Nasjonaldagen. Image: [email protected], Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
May 17 is Norway’s Constitution Day, a day full of parades and celebrations not just in Norway, but in Norwegian communities around the world.
Next month is Norway’s Constitution Day (Nasjonaldagen), a public holiday held on May 17 each year to mark the signing of the Constitution of Norway on May 17, 1814, at which point the country became an independent kingdom.
The day is a people’s celebration and is distinctly non-military. Children’s parades are organised by schools all over the country, with children passing through the community and visiting places such as local war memorials and homes for the elderly. The children carry the school’s banner and Norwegian flags. They are accompanied by the school’s marching band and sing the national anthem and other songs. People wear red, white and blue ribbons and may wear traditional dress known as bunad.
In addition to the children’s parades, there are parades for the general public in which anyone can participate. There may be participation from local NGOs, sports teams, firefighters, student associations or other such community groups.
There are many local variations in how the day is celebrated across the country, but there may be comic troupes, fireworks, live music, speeches and fun competitions for children. The streets are filled with citizens of all ages and vendors selling treats such as ice cream, hot dogs and sweets.
Constitution Day is also celebrated by Norwegians around the world. For example, there is a large celebration held each year in Southwark Park, London, with a parade, a traditional church service, typical Norwegian foods and plenty of Norwegian flags. Norwegians living abroad may also get together to celebrate the day. In countries where the Norwegian population is small, the Norwegian embassy may arrange such celebrations.
Constitution Day can be considered extremely inclusive thanks to the importance given to the children’s parades, the involvement of the local community and the lack of focus on the elected government and the military.

BATH time just got even cleaner with the help of one mom's easy tip.
A mom-of-two posted a video revealing her trick that prevents mold from growing on her kids' bath toys.
Almost all children's bath toys have small little holes on the bottom.
These holes are there to allow water to enter the toy and squirt back out.
Unfortunately, these holes make the inside of the bath toy a breeding ground for mold due to its warm, moist environment.
To prevent mold from growing inside the toys, the mom figured out an easy way to plug the hole so no water can enter the toy.
Using a hot glue gun, she applied a small dot of hot glue to the holes on her kids' bath toys.
Once the glue hardened, it created a barrier so now bathwater could enter the toy.
Perfect for busy moms, her easy trick can be done in just a matter of seconds.
The hot glue stays secure on the toys, as the mom said the toys she glued over a year ago are still going strong.
Most read in Fabulous
"I’ve been doing this for over a year," she said.
"None have lost their glue plugs nor do my kids bite or pick them off."
Many viewers loved her idea, saying: "I’m going to do this. Thank you for sharing," and "Best hack I’ve ever seen on TikTok."
One user recommended using dishwasher-safe bath toys, saying: "I got bath toys from target that u can put in the dishwasher to clean."

How will the BoJo survival betting look next Friday morning?
I really love this betting chart on Johnson’s exit date which gives a snapshot of how those like me who bet on politics view his survival chances and are prepared to risk money backing their views up.
For long periods the chances of him surviving the year have looked unlikely but judging by the latest movement punters now make him carrying on until 2024 or later the favourite.
It was always said when things looked very bad for the PM in January that this year’s local elections next Thursday would be the crucial point and Tory MPs who want him gone convinced themselves that then was not the time to act. My view at the time was that they had missed their best opportunity and would regret not pressing for a confidence vote then.
The aftermath of next week’s elections could be a critical period but I’m not persuaded that enough Tory MPs have the nerve to do it however bad the elections are for the Tories. | https://www2.politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/2022/04/29/how-will-the-bojo-survival-betting-look-next-friday-morning/ | 2022-04-29T09:15:16Z | https://www2.politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/2022/04/29/how-will-the-bojo-survival-betting-look-next-friday-morning/ | true | 1 |
'Windfall for the rich': Republicans warm up attacks as Biden weighs forgiving student debt
- Biden said he's "taking a hard look" to forgive some student loans.
- GOP Senators this week introduced a bill to prevent Biden from canceling student loan debt.
- The Biden administration has canceled roughly $18.5 billion in student loan debt since Biden took office.
WASHINGTON — Even before President Joe Biden potentially rolls out a plan to cancel student loan debt, Republicans are sizing up attacks on an idea wildly popular with young people but less so among other groups of voters.
Biden gave his biggest signal yet he's moving toward canceling some amount of student debt Thursday – though less than the $50,000 coveted by some progressive activists – telling reporters he's "taking a hard look" at using his executive authority and "would have an answer on that in the coming weeks." | https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/04/29/republicans-biden-cancel-student-debt/9575738002/?gnt-cfr=1 | 2022-04-29T09:21:47Z | https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/04/29/republicans-biden-cancel-student-debt/9575738002/?gnt-cfr=1 | true | 1 |
Charity boss who won support from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is under investigation by regulator over complaints from staff about his 'autocratic' leadership and 'inflated ego'
- Josh Littlejohn won widespread acclaim for his efforts to help end homelessness
- He raised tens of thousands of pounds while working for the Social Bite network
- But colleagues have lodged complaints with Office of Scottish Charity Regulator
A charity activist hailed by Prince Harry and supported by celebrities including George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio is under investigation over claims he misused power and acted like an 'autocrat'.
Josh Littlejohn, co-founder of Social Bite, a network of fundraising cafes, has attracted widespread acclaim in recent years for his efforts to help end homelessness.
His work has seen him raise tens of thousands of pounds and he was even handed a Pride of Britain award, all while regularly being serenaded by the great and the good of Hollywood.
However, complaints over his alleged conduct have now been lodged with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR), according to the Times.

Actor George Clooney (L) during a visit to Social Bite sandwich shop, where he met owners Alice Thompson, (C) Josh Littlejohn (R) and former homeless staff members on November 12, 2015 in Edinburgh, Scotland
Complaints over Josh Littlejohn's (pictured with Will Smith in 2019) alleged conduct have now been lodged with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR), according to the Times
Companies House documents show there have been a string of resignations at Social Bite in recent months, including directors Alice Thompson and Marjory Rodger, before Littlejohn himself stepped down in February.
The social enterprise's former chief executive for Scotland, Jane Bruce, lodged formal complaints over claims that Littlejohn was establishing a powerful 'autocratic' hold over the organisation, and trustees felt unable to hold him to account, the Times reports.
A source said: 'The excellent work that Social Bite does is in danger of being tarnished by the actions and inflated ego of one individual.'
Littlejohn, 35, has worked closely with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in the past, serving meals together when the couple visited Social Bite's Edinburgh premises in 2018.
The prince shook hands with the activist and is said to have asked him: 'When are you bringing this down south? It needs to be across the UK as soon as possible.'
A spokesman for the OSCR told MailOnline it has received concerns about the charity and is examining them, according to its published policies.
Sir Andrew Cubie, chairman of Social Bite, told the paper: 'We can confirm that we are in communication with OSCR relating to concerns they have received. In line with OSCR's policy we are unable to provide any further information at this time.
'Under my chairmanship, Social Bite adheres to the highest levels of governance. In spite of the global pandemic, the charity has gone from strength to strength.'
MailOnline has approached Social Bite for further comment. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10766367/Charity-boss-investigation-regulator-autocratic-leadership-inflated-ego.html | 2022-04-29T09:22:13Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10766367/Charity-boss-investigation-regulator-autocratic-leadership-inflated-ego.html | true | 3 |

Liverpool fans have sent Leeds United a message pleading with them to pick up a result in their crucial Premier League clash with Manchester City on Saturday.
The Blues were involved in a ferocious end-to-end tussle with La Liga leaders Real Madrid in the Champions League first-leg on Tuesday. City ran out 4-3 winners in the energy-sapping clash at the Etihad and now their attention turns to a trip to Elland Road on Saturday evening.
Liverpool, their Premier League title-rivals, beat Villarreal 2-0 at Anfield on Wednesday and now go away to Newcastle this weekend. The gap at the top of the Premier League remains a point after City's 5-1 win over Watford last Saturday.

Jesse Marsch's Leeds host the Premier League champions, looking to build on their point away to Crystal Palace. They sit five points clear of the drop zone, three points clear of 17th-placed Burnley.
It's a crucial game at both ends of the table, with a win for the Whites virtually enough to seal their safety from relegation. But any dropped points from City at this stage could be crucial in the context of the Premier League.
Both Liverpool and Leeds fans were hopeful of a result on Saturday. Here's how they reacted on Twitter.

Biden going to SKorea, Japan in May to discuss China, NKorea
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will travel next month to South Korea and Japan, his first trip to Asia since taking office last year, to consult with allies on growing threats from China and North Korea.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced the May 20-24 trip Wednesday. Both allies host significant U.S. military contingents, and the trip comes as North Korea has escalated its nuclear missile testing and China has grown more assertive in the region.
Biden will meet separately with newly elected President Yoon Suk Yeol of the Republic of Korea and Prime Minister Kishida Fumio of Japan, Psaki said.
In Tokyo, Biden will also meet with the so-called “Quad” — which also includes Australia, Japan and India — as they aim to forge stronger partnerships to contain China in the Indo-Pacific.
It will be Biden’s fourth foreign trip as president. He traveled to Poland and Belgium in March following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Tonight on Tom Newton Dunn's The News Desk, Sharon's son Jack gave an update on Ozzy's condition.
He said: “He's doing well. I spoke to him shortly before coming in. He just says hello. I'll save the colourful language, but he says it sucks.”

"It will take me a week to get my old man back on his feet again and I will be back.
"Unfortunately, he was diagnosed in the middle of the night when the family was sleeping so I haven't spoken to them yet. But they'll rally round. They'll be with him.
"You're going to see me back on air in a week.
"I know my husband. We're going to get him back on his feet and we're going to get a negative test by next week."

Guardo to DEPW: Check integrity of bridges
CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu City Councilor Jerry Guardo, chairperson of the committee on infrastructure in the City Council, said there was a necessity to check the integrity of the bridges.
Guardo said that the collapse of the Old Clarin Bridge in Bohol, which took the lives of four individuals, was a disaster that should be avoided in Cebu City.
With this, he urged the Department of Engineering and Public Works (DEPW) to monitor the existing bridges for their integrity.
“Naa na ra bay naobserve namo nga naay daghang trucks nga nag-agi, kanang mixers, dagkong trucks. We will check ang load bearing sa atong bridges,” said the councilor.
(We observed that there are trucks that pass by these bridges, these are mixers, big trucks. We will check the load bearing of our bridges.)
Guardo plans to inspect the bridges himself with the city engineers to identify any unstable infrastructure.
He will also communicate with the Department of Public Works and Highways in Central Visayas (DPWH-7) to conduct a much more comprehensive check on the bridge infrastructure.
As of now, Guardo notes that one bridge in Barangay Sapangdaku needs to be replaced.
The bridge is near unpassable and is no longer safe for motorists.
Guardo said he would want the construction to be hastened so that any danger brought by the currents bridge would be mitigated.

BEIJING (AP) — Americans are increasingly seeing China as a world superpower and a threat, though growing numbers perceive it more as a competitor than an enemy, according to a survey released Thursday.
The Washington-based Pew Research Center said that negative views of China reached a new high, with 82% of Americans having either somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable views of the country, a 6 percentage point increase from last year.
About two-thirds of U.S. adults said that China’s influence in the world is getting stronger, and two-thirds also consider China’s power and influence a major threat to the United States.
At the same time, the proportion of respondents who saw China as an enemy has dropped since January. Currently, 62% of Americans see China as a competitor and 25% as an enemy, while in January 54% chose competitor and 35% said enemy — almost exactly the same as the prior year.
The shift may be a temporary one influenced by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Laura Silver, a senior researcher at Pew, said it’s likely that the war has changed how people define what is an enemy, as opposed to a competitor.
The survey of 3,581 people was taken from March 21 to 27, about a month into the Russian invasion. The margin of error was plus or minus 2.3 percentage points.
The opposite shift occurred in the share of Americans who called Russia an enemy. Some 70% of Americans now see Russia as an enemy, up from 41% in January, according to Pew.
“With a clearer sense that what Russia is doing demarcates it as an ‘enemy,’ there has been a corresponding shift in thinking China is more of a competitor,” Silver said.
On the official level, however, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin calls China the U.S. military’s leading long-term challenge and the U.S.-China relationship has become more strained on many levels since the start of President Joe Biden’s term in January 2021.
Biden has been placing more emphasis on the Indo-Pacific region and has repeatedly criticized China for military provocations against Taiwan, human rights abuses against ethnic minorities and efforts to squelch pro-democracy advocates in Hong Kong. U.S. officials also have expressed concern about signs that China is increasing the size of its nuclear arsenal, although it remains far smaller than America’s.
With China so far refusing to condemn the invasion of Ukraine, Beijing’s partnership with Moscow was identified as the most serious problem for the U.S., with 62% of people polled saying it was.
By contrast, only 35% said the tensions between China and Taiwan were a very serious problem for the U.S. China’s human right policies were named a very serious problem by 42%, and 26% said mainland China’s Hong Kong policies were a very serious problem for the U.S.
Silver said that changes in news coverage and global events probably affect how Americans view China, noting that human rights was a greater concern last year.
“Negative views of China have been high and growing for much of the last four years but what factors seem most salient has ebbed and flowed,” Silver said.

Tulsa's only bike-sharing program, This Machine, is expanding within the city and beyond, adding dozens more bikes before the summer. The nonprofit said there is a growing need for transportation options.
The bike station at Osage Prairie Trail and Pine is one of the new additions, totaling four locations in north Tulsa where people can rent a bike. In a few months, the program will also grow to Broken Arrow.
Bill White said he gets excited to ride an electric bike. "Every time I get an opportunity to ride a bike, I jump on This Machine so I can zip around downtown, go to the Riverfront and ride free like I'm a 12-year-old kid again,” said White. “So much fun!"
White said his family looks forward to using the four stations and 20 bikes that will soon be available in north Tulsa.
This Machine is also expanding to Broken Arrow's Rose District with 8 to 10 stations and 40 bikes by this summer.
Katie Sawicki with the nonprofit that runs the program, says about $60,000 in local and national funding helped pay for the expansions. "It's really important to expand to where people need the services and transportation, specifically motor vehicle transportation is incredibly expensive," said Sawicki.
With high gas prices and nice weather, Sawicki expects more riders. She said This Machine charges only 15 cents a minute to make bike sharing affordable.
"We do know that 25 percent of Tulsans do not have access to a motor vehicle, so bikes are an ideal way to people to get to work, get to appointments and get some fitness,” explained Sawicki.
As for White and his family, he hopes our community will become more bike friendly. "I think it's more of a mentally that we have to break of saying, 'It's OK to get on a bike and ride,'” said White. “I think the more people who ride bikes, the safer it will be."
This Machine is hosting an event tomorrow to help people learn to ride bikes. It's come and go from 6 to 8 p.m. at B.S. Roberts Park across the street from Langston University – Tulsa. Bikes and helmets will be provided. | https://www.newson6.com/story/626b53dc3dd0e9071d5acbeb/this-machine-bike-share-adds-stations-in-north-tulsa-to-expand-in-broken-arrow-by-summer | 2022-04-29T09:41:04Z | https://www.newson6.com/story/626b53dc3dd0e9071d5acbeb/this-machine-bike-share-adds-stations-in-north-tulsa-to-expand-in-broken-arrow-by-summer | true | 1 |

Voters across the UK will flock to the polls next week for this year’s round of elections.
Thousands of seats will be contested on Thursday, May 5, when residents up and down the country will decide who they want to make important decisions on their behalf.
In Northern Ireland, all 90 seats on the Stormont Assembly will be up for grabs, with those on the electoral roll in Foyle able to take part in the elections in just a few days' time.
We've taken a look at what turnout was like across Foyle when voters last headed to the polls to vote for their preferred MLAs.
Data from the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland shows that at the last Assembly elections in 2017, 69,718 people in the constituency were eligible to vote, with 44,616 of them returning valid ballot papers.
That equated to a valid voter turnout of 64%.
Of the votes cast, a total of 701 were rejected at the count – meaning the paper was not marked properly or was spoiled.
Including rejected votes, the turnout in Foyle that year was 65.0%, which was in line with the Northern Ireland average of 64.8%.
Polls suggest Sinn Féin is on course to emerge from the Stormont election as Northern Ireland’s biggest party, displacing the DUP from the position it has occupied for almost 20 years.
Sinn Féin recently unveiled its election manifesto, which vows to deal with issues such as surging living costs and spiralling health service waiting lists.
It includes a pledge to pay £230 to every household in the region to help mitigate some of the pressure of rising energy bills.
Another manifesto priority is securing a date for a border poll on unification.
The DUP has claimed Sinn Féin will be emboldened to press for a referendum if it becomes the largest party following the May 5 election.
DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has insisted a “divisive border poll” is the republican party’s sole focus, to the detriment of all other issues. | https://www.northernirelandworld.com/your-ni/londonderry-derry-city-and-strabane/elections-2022-taking-a-look-at-voter-turnout-in-foyle-3674279 | 2022-04-29T09:44:12Z | https://www.northernirelandworld.com/your-ni/londonderry-derry-city-and-strabane/elections-2022-taking-a-look-at-voter-turnout-in-foyle-3674279 | false | 10 |

Premier Andrew Alturo Fahie and BVI Ports Authority Managing Director Oleanvine Pickering Maynard were arrested at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, the affidavit says. Maynard’s son Kadeem Stephan Maynard was also arrested, it says.
Fahie and the Maynards are being held on charges of conspiracy to import 5 kilograms or more of cocaine and conspiracy to launder money, the affidavit says.
CNN has been unable to determine if any of them have attorneys.
The affidavit alleges that beginning on or about October 16, 2021, a confidential source with the US Drug Enforcement Administration had several meetings with “a group of self-proclaimed Lebanese Hezbollah operatives … who stated that they had business ties to South Florida and the Middle East.” Those meetings took place on the Island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, the complaint alleges.
Throughout those meetings, the confidential source asked the group to help facilitate the use of Tortola as a temporary storage port for cocaine transported from Colombia by boat and destined for the United States, it says. The source’s plan would also have included laundering of the drug proceeds.
The British Virgin Islands is a British overseas territory located in the Caribbean, to the east of Puerto Rico. The islands are part of the Virgin Islands archipelago, alongside the US Virgin Islands and the Spanish Virgin Islands.
According to the affidavit, the group agreed to introduce the source to senior members of the British Virgin Islands government who could offer protection, for a price. A member of the group said he would approach the head of Fahie’s security staff and set up a meeting. A group member also claimed that he “owned” Oleanvine Maynard, according to the affidavit.
Last month, the source met with both Oleanvine Maynard and her son Kadeem to iron out how the operation would work and the roles that they and Fahie would play, the affidavit says.
On April 7, 2022, the source went to Tortola and met with the Maynards, then they all met with Fahie, the affidavit says. During a long drive to the meeting, Fahie allegedly complained to the source that “the British didn’t pay him much,” the affidavit says.
The source told Fahie that he worked for people in Mexico, and they wanted use of the ports in Tortola for free passage of 3,000 kilograms of cocaine at a time. The cocaine, which would come from Colombia, would pass through the BVI, then Puerto Rico on its way to Miami and New York, the source told them, according to the affidavit.
The source proposed a percentage of the cocaine sales in the US as payment for their involvement in helping pass the drugs through the BVI ports. The payment amount offered was 12% of the expected sale price in Miami, which Fahie estimated to be more than $7.8 million. Fahie allegedly requested $500,000 upfront and an additional $83,000 he needed to pay back a debt he owed to someone in Senegal, according to the affidavit. The source also offered to fund Fahie’s re-election campaign, and asked to help choose Fahie’s eventual successor to the premiership.
The parties agreed to do a 3,000 kilogram test run, which would be followed by 3,000 kilograms coming through the island two or three times a month for the next four months, the affidavit alleges.
According to the affidavit, the parties set in motion a plan for the source to leave $700,000 in cash on a private jet at the Miami-Opa Locka airport that would be retrieved by Oleanvine Maynard and an unknown individual and flown back to the BVI. Kadeem Maynard also brokered a side deal with the source where he would receive 60 kilograms of cocaine a week to sell, the affidavit alleges. He was also responsible for making sure the jet with the $700,000 from Miami would be allowed to land in the BVI with no issues, it states.
An arrest made
On April 28, Fahie and the source went to a plane at the airport in Opa-Locka, where the source showed him $700,000 in cash that was for him and Oleanvine Maynard. The money was in designer shopping bags, the affidavit says. As Fahie exited the plane after seeing the money, he was taken into custody.
Later that morning Oleanvine Maynard was brought to the same airport and plane and showed the $700,000, the affidavit says. The source gave her $200,000 and told her that was her payment and that the rest of the money was for Fahie. He assured her the money would be packaged and hidden before the flight. As she exited the plane, she was also arrested.
The affidavit does not outline where Kadeem Maynard was arrested.
British Virgin Islands Governor John Rankin, who is the territory’s de facto head of state,announced the arrest of Fahie.
“It is my duty as Governor to inform you that this morning the Honourable Premier Fahie was detained in Miami on charges related to conspiracy to import a controlled substance and money laundering,” Rankin said in a news release.
Rankin, who is a British diplomat, was appointed by the Queen on the advice of the British government. In his statement, Rankin said the US government informed the British government of the arrest, which was part of a DEA-led operation.
“I realise this will be shocking news for people in the Territory. And I would call for calm at this time,” Rankin said.
Deputy Premier Natalio Wheatley will remain Acting Premier of the Territory, he said. Wheatley was put into place as Acting Premier while Fahie was out of the country. According to a news release by his office, Fahie was in Miami for the annual SeaTrade Summit.
CNN has reached out to the British Virgin Islands government for more information.
In a statement obtained by CNN, Britain’s Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said she was appalled by the serious allegations against Fahie.
“This afternoon, the Premier of the British Virgin Islands, Andrew Fahie, was arrested in the United States on charges related to drugs trafficking and money laundering,” her statement said. “I am appalled by these serious allegations.”
Truss also referenced an anti-corruption inquiry unrelated to the DEA investigation.
“This arrest demonstrates the importance of the recently concluded Commission of Inquiry. I have spoken to the Governor of the BVI and he will be holding an emergency meeting of the Territory’s Cabinet later today. He will set out next steps tomorrow, including urgent publication of the Inquiry’s report,” she added.
The US Drug Enforcement Administration said in a statement the arrest should send a “clear message” to anyone bringing drugs into the country.
“Anyone involved with bringing dangerous drugs into the United States will be held accountable, no matter their position. Today is yet another example of DEA’s resolve to hold corrupt members of government responsible for using their positions of power to provide a safe haven for drug traffickers and money launderers in exchange for their own financial and political gain,” DEA Administrator Anne Milgram said.

JOHANNESBURG: South Africa is seeing a rapid rise in COVID-19 cases driven by yet another version of the coronavirus, health experts say.
Cases had been dropping in the country since February. But a new omicron subvariant that scientists call BA.4 began pushing up cases last week and they have risen rapidly since, said Salim Abdool Karim, who previously advised the government on its COVID-19 response.
So far, there has been only a slight rise in hospitalizations and no increase in deaths, said Abdool Karim, who is a public health expert at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
South Africa is recording just over 6,000 COVID-19 cases a day, up from a few hundred just a few weeks ago. The proportion of positive tests jumped from 4% in mid-April to 19% Thursday, according to official figures. Wastewater surveillance has also shown increases in coronavirus spread.
The new mutant appears to be quickly achieving dominance over the original omicron and other versions of the virus, but Abdool Karim said “it’s too early to tell whether BA.4 is going to cause a fully-fledged wave.”
Still, the new version is notable because the omicron variant first emerged in November in South Africa and Botswana before sweeping around the world.
There is one concerning trend, said Helen Rees, executive director of the Reproductive Health and HIV Institute at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg: Children are the first to be winding up in hospitals, just like during the original omicron surge.
Experts say BA.4 seems to be more transmissible than both the original omicron variant and an omicron relative known as BA.2. Scientists are still studying the new mutant, but it doesn’t appear that BA.4 causes more severe disease than other versions of the virus, WHO said in a recent report.
In South Africa, gatherings for the recent Easter, Ramadan and Passover holidays, plus massive flooding in the coastal city of Durban, may have contributed to the current surge, Abdool Karim said.
BA.4 has shown up in other countries, but it’s not clear whether it “it’s going to become a globally dominant variant,” he said.
So far, it hasn’t made inroads in the U.S., where BA.2 remains the dominant strain and its descendant, called BA.2.12.1, is gaining ground. That descendant is believed to spread faster than previous versions of the virus and caused about 29% of U.S. COVID cases in the latest week, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Can BA.4 out-compete BA.2.12.1? Dr. Stuart Campbell Ray, a Johns Hopkins University infectious disease expert, said the two variants are spreading in different populations, and he doesn’t know of any data “that would support a robust direct comparison.”
Since the start of the pandemic, South Africa has had the lion’s share of COVID-19 in Africa. Although the country’s 60 million people account for less than 5% of Africa’s population of 1.3 billion, South Africa has had more than a quarter of the continent’s 11.4 million reported cases and nearly half of Africa’s 252,000 deaths.
Experts say that may be because it has a more developed public health system and keeps better records of hospitalizations and deaths than other African countries.
More than 44% of adult South Africans are vaccinated against COVID-19, according to government statistics.
Benido Impouma, a WHO official in Africa, said the latest surge “shows that people must remain vigilant and continue to adhere to public safety measures such as wearing masks, washing hands and social distancing.” | https://www.newzimbabwe.com/south-africas-latest-covid-surge-blamed-on-omicron-mutant-positive-tests-jump-to-19/ | 2022-04-29T09:48:39Z | https://www.newzimbabwe.com/south-africas-latest-covid-surge-blamed-on-omicron-mutant-positive-tests-jump-to-19/ | true | 30 |
The contract between Romgaz and Exxon for taking over the American participation in the Neptune Deep perimeter in the Black Sea will be signed next week, the Minister of Energy, Virgil Popescu, announced on Facebook on Friday, Agerpres reports.
"We have had discussions with Romgaz and Petrom and, once they enter this project, we will try to speed up and burn some stages, to help as much as possible with the bureaucratic part, with the opinions that have not yet been taken in such a way as to hasten this," Popescu added.He specified, in order to eliminate any kind of speculation, that the perimeter of Neptun Deep is not part of the continental area won by Romania in the Hague process with Ukraine.
"It has been in Romanian territorial waters since the beginning. Now we see, better than ever, what a security umbrella of the North Atlantic Alliance means," the governmental official said.
According to him, "no one raises the issue of investment security in Romania."
"In the near future, Romania's gas production will double, and this means complete independence of our country, and we will also become a provider of national energy security. And, given that we will have enough gas, we estimate that prices will also settle", he completed. | https://www.stiripesurse.ro/energy-minister-romgaz-to-sign-contract-to-take-over-neptune-deep-field-next-week_2360705.html | 2022-04-29T09:53:59Z | https://www.stiripesurse.ro/energy-minister-romgaz-to-sign-contract-to-take-over-neptune-deep-field-next-week_2360705.html | false | 1 |
It was the first big live industry gathering in over two years. NAB Las Vegas is in the books. What did some radio executives who attended the show think of the event? Here’s a sampling…
“Literally everyone I talked to said how fantastic it was. Exhibitors were thrilled with the traffic and the quality of the prospects they talked to. Attendees glowed as they talked about how wonderful it was to be back with their colleagues. It’s like 2 years worth of “yuck” got erased in an instant.”
David Santrella
Salem Media
NAB Joint Board Chair
This “come back” convention was well executed and the NAB staff is to be congratulated on a job well done. While there may have been fewer people, there were a lot of the “right” people, making it a great networking event as well as an informative one.
Deborah Parenti

It was really exhilarating to see so many industry friends (including competitors) in person after such a lengthy absence. And yes, I know that was a sentiment felt and shared by many, but I couldn’t start giving you my impressions without making that observation first and foremost. Attending sessions, visiting with our exhibitors on the floor and having hallway conversations with friends all resulted in an overall very upbeat attitude about radio, more so than at any time in recent years. I think people are pretty pumped up about how hot audio is, and radio is the primary component of audio, so there was an abundance of optimism about our industry, which was terrific.
I thought the tributes paid to Sen. Smith with both the NAB’s Distinguished Service Award and the BFOA’s Lowry Mays Award were very moving, and obviously well-deserved. Just as importantly, I thought that Curtis LeGeyt did a magnificent job in his first turn as NAB’s President & CEO. I heard nothing but praise for his performance, and the virtually seamless transition from Gordon to Curtis was a great indicator of the superb team NAB has built in DC.
As a member of both the NAB Board and the RAB Board, I always take some time to visit and thank some of our exhibitors at the Show, and this year in particular, every one of them I stopped by to thank for being there was enthusiastic about the amount of traffic and business they’d had this week, which was really great to hear.
Bill McElveen
“Overall the show was much slower than past NAB shows – as very much would be expected. The number of exhibitors seemed to be much smaller as well. That said those that were there were all serious – not really any that just went to be in Vegas – it seemed those we talked to were there to get things done. I think the show can be summed up with this – a lower number of leads – but a higher % of quality leads – vs 2019. I think the NAB teams did a good job – and the new West Hall looks great – but the placement of the three Podcasting companies in that hall was sub-optimal. The Three were – Libsyn, Bluebrry, and Live 365. Hopefully for 2023 – they will get back to having a podcast pavilion again and put us near other audio products / services.”
Rob Walch
Libsyn
“I thought it was some of the most outstanding content ever presented at the NAB show. I was extremely impressed by the attendance. We were so happy to be together, learn from the sessions, enjoy each other’s company and get a ton of business done. For me personally, it was probably my most productive NAB ever.”
Heather Cohen
The Weiss Agency
“Great to get back and be in person with everyone. A bit surreal for many of us who haven’t traveled in two plus years but the energy from seeing people was positively noticeable. I think the NAB did a good job of unity building at a time the radio industry desperately needs it. Glad that there was lots of future leaning content. Impressed with leadership of Curtis Legeyt”
Buzz Knight
Buzz Knight Media
“Just as we’d hoped, it was great to get the AM/FM band back together in Las Vegas. It was also smart to see all those car panels, as well as hearing from NAB chief Curtis LeGeyt. I wish all attendees could have seen Caroline Beasley, LeVar Burton, and Gordon Smith being honored by NAB – truly inspirational. All that said, I miss the Radio Show, and hope it comes back.”
Fred Jacobs
Jacobs Media
“How great is it to say once again: we got business done at NAB! Everyone I saw had broad smiles. It was a reunion. And, while virtual meetings are essential, nothing beats an in-person meeting. There was magic in the meetings we had in our Skyview suite at the Bellagio. The overall business vibe was positive and there was a palpable sense of opportunity.”
Steve Jones
President & CEO
Skyview
“My impressions were that it was wonderful to again be together with our industry. The sessions seemed well attended, and at over 52,000 attendees, it looked busy. Not a number like 2019 and prior…..but it sure beat the virtual meetings and zoom burnout we all had in 2020 and 2021.”
Jim Loftus
Chief Operating Officer
Seven Mountains Media
“To sum it up in four words: fuel for the soul. It felt like everything made sense again and that we are all going to be ok. I feel energized about the future, and the future of radio.”

LTO-Caraga collects over P115-M in Q1
The Land Transportation Office in Caraga Region (LTO-13) has generated PHP115,928,411 revenues during the first three months of the year.
An LTO-13 report released Thursday showed three district offices getting the highest revenue collections during the period — Butuan City, Patin-ay in Agusan del Sur, and Cabadbaran City in Agusan del Norte.
From January to March this year, LTO-Butuan garnered a total of PHP28,031,662 collections, topping all other LTO districts in the area.
LTO-Butuan is followed by LTO-Patin-ay with a collection of PHP15,119,359 and LTO-Cabadbaran with PHP13,998,366.
Another district that managed to collect double figures is LTO-Tandag, at PHP10,192,72.
In a phone interview Wednesday, LTO-Butuan City district head Danielo Merson Borja attributed the increase in collections to the lowering of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic alert level in the city and the nearby areas.
“In the previous year and last year were very difficult for us due to the tight health protocols due to Covid-19,” Borja said.
Borja is also optimistic on increased collections in the coming months with the installation late last month of a new regional director, retired police general Ronnie Montejo.
During Montejo’s meeting with the top regional officials, Borja said the new director assured to work with the different districts for effective services to the clients of the agency and ensure increased revenue collections for the government.
Meanwhile, Urbano Maglines Jr., the head of LTO-Surigao, said their office managed to collect some PHP9,042,00 revenue during the period.
“Our office is Surigao City was severely damaged by typhoon Odette in December last year, all our computers and office equipment, and even documents, were soaked in water,” Maglines said in a separate interview Thursday.
He said all the staff of LTO-Surigao were also affected during the typhoon, as some had lost their homes.
Despite the situation, Maglines said their unit collected PHP1,121,290 in January, which increased to PHP1,351,992 in February, and PHP1,310,253 in March.
“We remain optimistic for increased collections in the coming months, especially since Regional Director Montejo is keen on implementing measures to efficiently serve our clients,” Maglines said.

My climbing experience is limited to preteen birthday parties in gyms reeking of palm sweat and stale granola bars. But as I watched the four elite female athletes featured in The Wall: Climb For Gold sprint like spider monkeys up bizarrely contorted walls, I found myself doing the same thing my childhood friends did when I got stuck clinging to a tiny nub, frozen and useless 20 feet in the air. From the comfort of my couch, I hollered, "Just put your foot up!"
But this documentary, initially released in January and coming to Netflix on Sunday, May 1, quickly shows climbing is a lot more complicated than that. To quote Shauna Coxsey, one of the featured climbers: "You have no fucking idea what is going on."
Helmed by Formula 1: Drive to Survive director Nick Hardie, The Wall: Climb For Gold follows four women from around the world starting in 2019 as they vie for a spot in the very first Olympics climbing competition. They're tasked with mounting massive indoor structures dotted with pegs that look impossible to grasp -- sometimes without even a rope keeping them aloft. We're shown an intimate glimpse of the physical and psychological hurdles faced by Great Britain's Coxsey, Slovenia's Janja Garnbret, US climber Brooke Raboutou and Japan's Miho Nonaka as they navigate training, injuries and psychological struggles made even worse by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Wall seamlessly ushers us between the four countries. It manages this feat by providing us with a profound sense of place via stunning aerial shots: cliffs looming in the wilderness, Tokyo sprawling beneath Mount Fuji, climbers scaling gigantic spotlighted walls before a roaring crowd. By way of closeups, it distills all that pressure on the humans experiencing it: White chalk coating the fingers, tensed hands gripping the climbing holds. Frequent shifts in mood, pacing and visual style make us viscerally feel the contrast at the heart of the film: the golden glory of competition and victory, and the stark isolation of the gym where 99% of the Olympic lifestyle is actually spent.
As the four women surmount challenge after challenge, old home videos clue us in to the childhoods that got them to this point. A little girl shimmying up a door frame and doing wild flips. The first pair of secondhand climbing shoes. A father's arms stretched out to catch his daughter should the burgeoning boulderer take a plunge.
Watching the parents is equally as fascinating. One family wails in agony as another across the world jumps for joy. (I can hardly fathom the pride and nerves you'd feel sitting in a stadium and watching your kid compete for Olympic gold. Let alone during a pandemic that forces you to cheer them on from behind a TV screen.)
With their sculpted muscles and beguiling agility, these athletes seem invincible. But they're battered over and over with constant, suffocating stress. From feeling you owe the world perfection, to missing out on normal life, to grappling with the very real possibility of messing up on the big day — climbing is as much a mental battle as it is physical. Throw in a yearlong delay and the uncertainty of the pandemic, and it's a recipe for psychological havoc.
Even so, The Wall is a story of remarkable resilience. Going into this sports documentary, I was expecting, well, a sports documentary. And, yes, it provided all the nail-biting suspense and adrenaline rushes one could desire. But Hardie's film succeeds in showing us the human beings beneath the spotlights. At their core, these are women who just really, really love to climb up rocks.
P.S. Nainita Desai, the composer behind the film's epic yet refined score, deserves a nod. And an award! Warning: The soundtrack is so motivating, it may compel you to start scaling vast vertical surfaces. | https://www.cnet.com/culture/entertainment/this-soaring-documentary-on-womens-rock-climbing-is-a-netflix-must-watch/ | 2022-04-29T10:01:52Z | https://www.cnet.com/culture/entertainment/this-soaring-documentary-on-womens-rock-climbing-is-a-netflix-must-watch/ | false | 1 |

It’s game night at Wichita State University, and members of the varsity esports team are practicing just before their match.
Inside the esports lab, there’s a lot of what you might expect from athletes in a traditional locker room: jokes, banter, discussions about the match ahead.
But in this case, the noise is also accompanied by video game music and the steady click-clack of controllers.
“Esports, for lack of a better term, is competitive gaming,” said Travis Yang, the new director of esports at Wichita State.
At 27 years old, he’s returning home to Wichita with years of experience in the esports industry on his resume.
At his first gig in 2018, he helped Ashland University in Ohio develop a varsity esports program - one of the first 60 in the country. In 2021, he worked as the first head esports coach for Texas A&M in San Antonio.
That experience is valuable to Wichita State as it prepares to launch a scholarship program for five different esports teams in the fall - serving as a potential boon to its enrollment.
“From an institutional level, the support I saw was tremendous,” Yang said.
And with WSU looking to recruit talent, schools in Wichita and the surrounding area are getting serious about esports.
Wichita Public Schools adopted varsity esports at a district level this year and held its first city league tournaments this month.
In another first for the district, two students from Southeast have signed to compete with WSU Esports.
Students in high school can even take classes on gaming concepts.
“Wichita is truly ahead of the curve in that regard, at a national level,” Yang said. “There’s not very many school districts I can think of that have a commitment at that level.”
Shocker Esports competitor Henry Laflin said that kind of institutional support could have made a huge difference when he was a student at East High School.
Laflin competes by playing Super Smash Bros., Nintendo’s flagship fighting game. He learned the game on his own by playing with friends or online against strangers.
“Esports like this takes a lot of knowledge and real fine reaction times,” Laflin said. “So just being on your own, it’s really hard to keep up with some of the people who have been grinding a lot.”
Fortunately for the next generation of esports competitors, teachers like Michael Packard at Derby High School are working to make sure they don’t have to go it alone.
Packard has sponsored Derby’s esports program for two years. Everything he knows about the industry, he learned on the job.
“I think I got the gig because of my cat-herding abilities,” Packard said. “I’m not a gamer by nature. I last played ‘Rock Band.’ ”
The Derby program started during the early stages of the pandemic, which allowed players to get a feel for the competition while playing at home.
But as the program wraps up its second year, Derby Public Schools has committed to developing an esports lab at the high school - equipped with high-end computers that can run the games they need.
Moving forward, Packard said he wants to see the district create its own esports pipeline for students before they even get to high school.
“Every athlete in Derby, especially the boys that play football, they’re playing football since kindergarten,” he said. “They go to Panther Pride every summer, so why wouldn’t we have a summer skills camp?” | https://www.kmuw.org/the-range/2022-04-29/esports-pipeline-taking-shape-in-wichita | 2022-04-29T10:11:35Z | https://www.kmuw.org/the-range/2022-04-29/esports-pipeline-taking-shape-in-wichita | true | 1 |
The purpose of creating the costing sheet is twofold. The prepared presentation is referred to as a costing sheet. As the second goal, you outline the basis for evaluating indirect costs. The costing sheet configuration extends the cost group function for displaying data and computing indirect costs. A costing sheet is a prepared presentation of data on the cost of goods sold for a manufactured item or a production order. When you build a costing sheet, you decide on the format of the information and the foundation for calculating indirect costs.
Here’s more information on the two goals of the pricing sheet setup:
Define the costing sheet’s format.
The user-defined format for a costing sheet indicates the cost segmentation that contains the cost of goods sold for a manufactured item. Based on cost groups, information regarding an item’s price of goods sold can be separated into the material, labor, and overhead. These cost groups are divided as per items, cost categories for routing processes, and algorithms for calculating indirect costs. When many cost groups have been identified, the costing sheet format often necessitates interim totals.
Define the methodology for estimating indirect expenses.
Manufacturing overhead connected with producing a produced item is reflected in indirect expenses. A formula for calculating indirect costs might be stated as a surcharge or a rate. A surcharge is a percentage amount of the value, whereas a rate is a fixed price per hour for a routing process. Suppose you want to construct a calculation formula and its cost group base. In that case, you must first identify the cost group representing the overhead and choose whether to use a surcharge or rate method in the costing sheet setup.
Each calculating formula must be recorded as a cost. A cost record includes a costing version, a surcharge % or rate amount, the cost group base, a status, and an effective date. When you activate a cost record, the status is changed to the currently active record, and the effective date is changed to the activation date. A site can also be specified in a site-specific calculation algorithm’s cost record. Alternatively, you can leave the Site box empty to indicate that the calculation methodology applies to the entire organization.
When the calculation formula is marked as a per-item formula, the cost record might optionally include a specified item or item group. Pending cost records are used in the future bill of materials computations. Two blocking policies for a costing version decide whether outstanding costs may be kept and if they can be started. Use blocking policies to allow data maintenance and then deny data maintenance for cost data in a costing version. After defining the costing sheet format and indirect cost calculations, you must complete a second step to validate and store the data.
The costing sheet is a company-wide method for consistently showing information about the costs of goods sold. The costing sheet appears on the Calculate item cost page. The costing sheet can be presented on the Item pricing page for a manufactured item’s calculated cost record or the BOM calculation results page for an order-specific calculation record. It can also be portrayed as part of a production order’s Price calculation page.

Gurugram: Cops recover ₹7.9 lakh more, car in nearly ₹1 crore cash van loot case
Gurugram: The police have recovered ₹7.9 lakh, a car, and a fake registration number plate of a vehicle in a ₹96.32 lakh loot case which took place on April 18, said the officials on Thursday.
The recovery was made after six suspects, who were arrested in four days this week, confessed to the crime and made the revelations while in police remand, said the officials.
According to the police, the money recovered is in addition to ₹70.5 lakh, which was recovered earlier.
The incident had taken place around 1.45pm on April 18, when five suspects looted the money from a cash van near Subhash Chowk in Gurugram after throwing chilly power in the eyes of two employees of a security firm who were sitting inside it. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/gurugram-news/gurugram-cops-recover-7-9-lakh-more-car-in-nearly-1-crore-cash-van-loot-case-101651223316768-amp.html | 2022-04-29T10:12:54Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/gurugram-news/gurugram-cops-recover-7-9-lakh-more-car-in-nearly-1-crore-cash-van-loot-case-101651223316768-amp.html | true | null |

The number Doc Rivers told his team Thursday night was 120.
If his 76ers could get to 120 points, the coach reasoned, they would get to the second round. That level of scoring, combined with anything resembling competent defense from the 76ers, would be too much for a scrappy Toronto team, down one of its top scorers, to overcome.
The 76ers got there with room to spare. And the defense did the job and then some.
The result of hitting one magic number in a 132-97 win in Game 6 was the 76ers getting to another – the fourth win in a playoff series that in retrospect might not look as precarious as it felt in the moment.
The Sixers were halfway there with a 62-61 lead at halftime. Then they just left the Raptors, playing again without Fred VanVleet, in the dust, outscoring them 70-36 over the final 24 minutes.
“I said, if we do that (hit 120), they can’t get there, if we defend right and rebound right,” Rivers said. “And then at halftime, I looked at, we had great shots and we were going to keep getting those. And I told our guys, if we rebound the ball, we can stretch this lead quickly. That was quicker than I thought, obviously, we made every shot and we got out onto the break and the pace of the game is back in our favor tonight.”
Much as Rivers went in for criticism after the lifeless Game 5, perhaps the ultimate criticism of that loss on Monday was, not to get too analytical about it, not scoring enough points. In the 103-88 loss at the Wells Fargo Center, the Sixers shot just 38.3 percent from the field (31-for-81) and 27 percent from 3-point range (10-for-37).
They fixed that with better shot selection Thursday. One shooting spark in the second quarter kept them in touch; the other helped them pull away.
Danny Green set the tone for banishing the shooting woes in the second quarter, hitting four 3-pointers in that frame to counterpunch a hot-starting Toronto. Green was 4-for-7 from the field for 12 points and a plus-23 rating in 29 minutes.
Tyrese Maxey picked up the mantle after the break. He made three triples in the decisive third quarter, including jumpers on back-to-back possessions to turn a six-point edge into a 12-point bump at 79-67.
Maxey was 5-for-12 from deep, tying a career high in made triples, on the way to 25 points. He added eight assists. He scored 15 points in the third, a frame where the 76ers rattled off 17 straight points. They outscored the Raptors 37-17 in the frame.
“We knew the first three minutes were going to be huge, then the first three turned into the first six minutes,” Maxey said. “And once we got the lead, we said, we’re not going to give it back.”
As a team, the 76ers shot an even 40 percent from 3-point range (16-for-40). They were 58 percent from the field, at 47-for-81.
Green, at a plus-23, had the lowest number of the five starters. Tobias Harris posted a double-double (19 points and 11 rebounds), as did Joel Embiid, with 33 and 10 plus stellar low-post defense (three blocks, two steals). James Harden led the bunch with a plus-38 on 22 points, 15 assists and six boards. | https://www.readingeagle.com/2022/04/29/sixers-surpass-docs-spoken-goal-ease-into-second-round/ | 2022-04-29T10:14:33Z | https://www.readingeagle.com/2022/04/29/sixers-surpass-docs-spoken-goal-ease-into-second-round/ | true | 7 |
Opinion
Rugby codes knuckle down for fundraiser with a difference
Peter FitzSimons
Columnist and authorOne of the “nice blokes of rugby”? No. No-one ever said that about former Queensland and 2007 World Cup Wallaby coach John Connolly that I recall.
They don’t call him “Knuckles” for nothing!
But he is genuine and “rugby” to the marrow of his bones.
Alas, while living quietly in retirement, last August Connolly was doing some work at his elderly father’s home when he fell two metres into a neighbour’s yard. He severely fractured his spine as well as breaking his arm and dislocating his shoulder.
Last Friday on the Sunshine Coast, TFF was guest speaker at a fundraising lunch with Wayne Bennett, John Eales, Paralympian Curtis McGrath and John’s son, Major James Connolly – but it was a fundraiser with a twist. Not a cent went to Connolly, and everything went to the Princess Alexandra Hospital spinal unit that has looked after him since the accident.
Connolly, now 70, was released from hospital for the day to attend and, for someone who has suffered such a catastrophic injury, was in good spirits.
He has some movement in his hands and has a motorised wheelchair, but the road ahead is long. Eales and Bennett both spoke very well, and it was good to see such football luminaries as Billy Moore, Michael O’Connor and Billy Ross among the 180 there, as well as my fellow scribe Wayne Smith. At least $200,000 was raised, of which $20,000 came from a kind donation of tickets to next year’s World Cup in France by Gullivers Sports Travel.
John Connolly is unlikely to walk again, but he will continue to be supported by the community of the rugbys.
Putting the national in NRL
As to where the NRL grand final is held, seriously, who truly cares if it held in Sydney or Brisbane, or even Melbourne?
Moving it around works for the NFL, so why not the NRL? And you claim to be the National Rugby League when you insist on holding your feature in one city only?
With respect, Katherine
In the words of the late Peter Frilingos, “that’ll do me”.
In recent times, the Liberal candidate for Warringah, Katherine Deves, in trying to rally the mob against trans women in sport, has invoked all of the Holocaust, the Stolen Generation, serial killing and self-mutilation, while insisting “half of all males with trans identities are sex offenders”.
This week she said she wanted to have a “respectful debate” about women’s sport.
What is wrong with this picture? And how is that serious journalists and broadcasters interviewing her don’t call her out on it?
What I said . . . but better
No, no, no. For once, this week I am not going to sneer unpleasantly at Greg Norman. I can’t do that every week. So this week, I’ll let someone who actually lives and breathes golf, who understands it like I never will – Eamon Lynch of USA Today – do it instead. Give ’em a quick burst Eamon, ol’ son!
“Norman was announced as the CEO of LIV Golf in October and has beclowned himself with his every public utterance since, cementing a reputation that will encompass not only his inability to finish big tournaments but his ineptitude in starting them too. What was promised as a seismic shake-up of global golf is looking more like a bonanza for washed-up also-rans . . . showcasing aging veterans who can no longer compete where it matters, career journeymen whose own caddies might struggle to identify them in a line-up, and amateurs, whose inclusion was presented as a ‘grow the game’ gesture rather than the act of desperation it is. (Next stop: PGA Tour Champions!) In short, Norman is serving a fetid platter of horseshit and claiming it’s boeuf bourguignon.”
RAH!
Even then, he was only warming up.
“The only entertainment guaranteed in this venture is an overdue comeuppance for the Great White Pilot Fish, whose tenure began with an interview in which he marvelled at the sight of women dining in Saudi restaurants sans burkas. Later, he addressed the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. “What happened to Khashoggi was reprehensible. There’s not a person on this planet who would not agree with me,” he said, perhaps forgetting that the Crown Prince who ordered Khashoggi’s dismemberment by bonesaw—the same man who pays Norman—might not agree with him.”
See? This bloke has been saying what I’ve been saying. He just writes it better.
“Despite all the bluster and promises of riches, the Saudis must finally understand their project is piloted by a man more inflated with hot air than the Hindenburg, and seems destined for the same fate, even as he artlessly tries to coax gullible passengers aboard. Someone with a larger-than-life bust of himself in his garden is obviously immune to embarrassment.”
This week, I imagine, we’ll get to know which golf rats have taken the money. Fine. Who will actually watch it?
Seriously, what TV network would be bothered? And if they did, what corporate sponsor would have anyone playing? What corporation wants to be associated with golfing rats?
Money for nothing
Do you agree that the NRL is an extraordinarily well-funded sporting business, already getting squillions in tax-payer funding, that doesn’t pay a scintilla of tax? How can you not?
With that in mind, in the following quote from NSW sports minister Stuart Ayres, I have substituted the sole word “NRL”, for my summation above.
Take it away, minister: “We’re very confident that the NRL grand final will stay here in its traditional home in NSW. We’ve invested substantially in rectangular venues, which the [extraordinarily well-funded sporting business, already getting squillions in tax-payer funding, that doesn’t pay a scintilla of tax that is the NRL] is the major beneficiary of.”
Get it?
My question is the same as ever. Why does that non tax-paying business rolling in profits, above and beyond all other businesses that actually pay tax, always get this government handing over ever more money? And it is never enough!
What They Said
USA Today golf writer Eamon Lynch on the Saudi Arabian golf debacle: “Greg Norman is serving a fetid platter of horseshit and claiming it’s boeuf bourguignon.”
Dan Andrews on the shameless dog-whistling politics that sees targeting trans athletes as legitimate: “Trans kids are 15 times more likely to self harm … Seems to me that the adults in this debate are altogether more cruel than the kids, and that’s a damning indictment on those who are pushing this.” Precisely.
Swimmer Emily Seebohm on her image being used on a transphobic billboard:
“I have no idea who Advance Australia is but … I don’t want my photo next to something saying transphobic. That is a statement that I’ve never said and I don’t suggest nor support that and ... the photo is just horrific! So the whole thing is just awful to me.”
Peter V’landys on the possibility of Brissie hosting the NRL grand final: “If I want to attend major events maybe I have to move to Queensland. Destination NSW wouldn’t know an event if they fell over it. We haven’t even heard from them.”
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart when asked if the Penrith crowd trolling the Raiders was an issue: “Is that really a big focus point? F--k me dead.”
Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash, with delicacy, on the absence of Ben Simmons in the play-offs: “I think Ben has addressed that there is a mental component with what he’s going through, but how much and where he’s at with that is not for me to speak about. But as far as an organisation, we’re really pushing to support Ben in any way we can to help him improve physically and get back on the court, and then the mental side of that is part and parcel.”
Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire after successive one-point wins: “[Life] is a lot better than it was two or three weeks ago.”
NBA legend Charles Barkley was fuming after the Minnesota Timberwolves choked against the Memphis Grizzlies: “I don’t believe there’s dumb kids, I think they’ve just got bad parents. These Timberwolves are dumb because their coaches are dumb. This dude [Timberwolves coach Chris Finch] let a team have a 21-0 run and didn’t call a time-out. This has got to be one of the dumbest teams. All that talent and they’re dumber than rocks.”
NSW Rugby CEO Paul Doorn on the men’s side not watching the women’s side playing in the Super W final: “I would also point to the post the boys made for the girls on social media as indicative of the support the players are giving all the girls and wishing them the best.”
Perth Wildcats coach Scott Morrison – thank you, I know – after his team failed to make the play-offs for the first time since 1986: “I’ll add a congrats to Tasmania for making the finals in their first year, which is incredible. They earned it. They beat us here at home a few weeks ago and that was a deciding factor. They are the hottest team in the league right now. I wish them the best of luck.”
Australian basketballing young gun Josh Giddey on not getting a vote in NBA Rookie of the Year voting: “Looking back in five or 10 years, it’s not going to bother me, so it sucks, it is disappointing, but we move on.”
Team of the Week
Iga Swiatek. Taking advantage of Ash Barty’s absence by winning her fourth straight title of the year and extending her winning streak to 23 matches. I know. Me, too. I feel exactly the same.
Carlos Alcaraz. The 18-year-old Spaniard is now No.9 in the ATP rankings, making him the youngest man to break into the top 10 since Rafael Nadal did it 17 years ago.
Ben Simmons. Not sure what is going on but, after moving to the Brooklyn Nets, he is yet to fire a shot in anger. From a great distance he seems like a young man of extraordinary talent who is completely and utterly lost. Patty Mills, you are man on the ground. Sort him!
Brumbies. Prevented a trans-Tasman sweep by Kiwi sides by beating the Highlanders.
Tasmanian Jack Jumpers. Make the play-offs in their first season. Will take on Melbourne while the Kings meet Illawarra in the other semi.
Fijiana Drua. Capped off their first Super W season by defeating NSW Waratahs 32-26 in the final.
Barcelona FC. The Camp Nou stadium broke its own world record for a women’s soccer match when more than 91,648 watched them take on Wolfsburg.
John Coates. Finished up as Australian Olympic boss after 32 years in the gig.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Inflation hit a new record for the 19 countries that use the euro as skyrocketing fuel prices boosted by the war in Ukraine add new burdens to household finances and weigh on a slowing economic recovery from the latest outbreaks of COVID-19.
Annual inflation hit 7.5% for April, the highest since statistics started in 1997 and the sixth record in a row, topping the old record of 7.4% from March, the European Union's statistics agency Eurostat reported Friday.
Energy prices jumped a startling 38%, a testimony to how the war and the accompanying global energy crunch are affecting the eurozone’s 343 million people.
Fears that the war may lead to an interruption of oil or gas supplies from Russia, the world’s largest oil exporter, have pushed prices for oil and natural gas higher. That comes on top of rebounding global demand amid recovery from the pandemic downturn and a cautious approach to increasing production from oil cartel OPEC and allied countries including Russia.
High inflation is reverberating through politics and the economy, as governments enact cash support for hard hit households. Germany is dropping a charge for supporting renewable energy on electric bills, saving a family of four around 300 euros ($317) a year. Germany’s IG Metall industrial union is proposing an 8.2% annual increase for the country’s steelworkers going into wage talks.
And fear of even higher heating, electricity and auto fuel prices are one factor holding back European governments from deciding to halt energy imports from Russia as part of the sanctions over the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Inflation is also putting uncomfortable pressure on the European Central Bank to look at raising interest rates from record lows in coming months. Higher rates to quell inflation could also weigh on a recovery that has been shaken by the energy crunch, the war, and the latest outbreaks of COVID-19.
Growth in the 19 EU member countries that use the euro slowed to 0.2% in the first three months of the year as voluntary and government restrictions during the spread of the highly contagious omicron variant of the coronavirus joined with higher inflation to hold back demand as people made less use of in-person services. The first quarter figure was down from 0.3% in the last three months of 2021.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will see Benedict Cumberbatch’s character facing some serious consequences for screwing with the fabric of reality in No Way Home. It appears his spell to force everyone to forget Peter Parker caught the attention of a group of very powerful people — and they’re not happy.
These are the Illuminati. In Marvel Comics, they’re a secret society comprised of Reed Richards, Namor, Tony Stark, Black Bolt, Charles Xavier, and Strange himself, who collectively manipulate world events from the shadows.
The MCU version appears to be more extradimensionally preoccupied, with membership drawn from across the multiverse, including a variant of Patrick Stewart’s Professor X. Now fans are frantically theorizing about who else will be present.
Many are certain Reed Richards is a lock:
One other name bandied about is Tom Cruise as ‘Superior Iron Man’:
There are also some wilder (and funnier) rumors out there:
Fortunately, we only have a week’s wait to find out for sure. However, with the social media and review embargo expiring early next week, expect spoilers to come in thick and fast on Twitter. These will likely confirm or deny which cameos are in the movie, and though Marvel has been perhaps a little too open in trailers and TV spots, we suspect they’re still holding back some huge surprises.
That said, if Tom Cruise really is in this movie as Tony Stark/Iron Man, people are going to lose their minds.
We’ll see you at Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness next Friday, May 6. | https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/marvel-fans-are-desperate-to-find-out-whos-who-in-the-mcu-illuminati/ | 2022-04-29T10:23:16Z | https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/marvel-fans-are-desperate-to-find-out-whos-who-in-the-mcu-illuminati/ | false | 1 |

Golden memories for Kibaki the great
If the late President Mwai Kibaki were to rise up from the dead to witness the immense goodwill for him effortlessly pouring out of the hearts of Kenyans, most likely he would sound his trademark “Oh yes” exclamation.
The common denominator in all the tributes penned, gestured and voiced as the hallmark of his character is greatness.
He is being mourned by those who dined, wined, dealt and worked with him as a man who effaced himself and loathed being made the subject of attention, to the point of turning down all proposals to package him in songs of praise.
His longtime friends ‘accuse’ him of getting the chance to behave like a king but always insisted on living like a servant.
“That is how he handled power so sensibly and he is credited with eradicating the excesses of his predecessors where instruments of power had been weaponized. He demystified the seat of power and he became the President who was not bothered on those sensitivities of securities around men and women of his stature,” says Francis Muthaura, who served as his head of public service.
Coast Regional Commissioner John Elung’ata describes Kibaki’s 10-year rule “as the golden decade rule from a golden heart especially manifest in his love for the Kenyan child in whom he invested so much resources in full knowledge that he was safeguarding our future as a country”.
Others describe him as a cunning political fox whose instincts and patience helped him navigate his career.
Kibaki’s longtime friend Mr Matere Keriri, who served as comptroller of the State House during his reign, describes him as a man whose bad side came packaged neatly to ignite even more respect for him.
“It was not that there was no bad side of Mr Kibaki…but that badness was exercised in such a good-hearted way and in a very sensitive manner to a point you respected him more. An example was when I would present to him a position that was not well thought out and he would reprimand me in a manner that incisively exposed my rashness of thought but at the same time gave me ample space to go back to my thoughts and straighten my latitudes,” Mr Keriri told the Nation.
Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu says Kibaki oozed political wisdom, a rare attribute for African leaders.
“He was nowhere near being indecisive. I worked with him as his minister for health and water. I am testimony that he made very tough decisions after a session of good listening and he harboured no grudges,” he said.
She says that she learnt from Kibaki that one can be in power and yet be humble and compassionate even in the face of obvious provocation.
“Many a times many schemes that sought to stretch his patience were designed. Yet, he retained that statesmanship and always preached about reconciliation and spreading of hope in times of despair,” she said.
Chris Murungaru, who served as Kibaki’s minister for security and transport, also reveals that before the two joined the government, they had shared drinks for over 20 years.
“I came into government as Kibaki’s friend. When Kibaki trusted a human being, he trusted without hypocrisy. He kept his friends, and [in selecting people] into government, it was his search for hands he could trust,” he said.
Dr Murungaru says Kibaki’s humour rolled out of his tongue naturally.
“I remember in the Cabinet when his minister for local government, Mr Karisa Maitha, announced that he intended to clear the streets of street families … Kibaki asked him where he [would] take them. Mr Maitha responded that it was hard to know their parents, and Kibaki responded to him that he was sure he had seen two or three of the street kids who were copycats of some of his ministers…” he said.
Dr Murungaru says Kibaki was hard to listen to in his public speeches because “in castigating, he kept off personalising and being subjective….”
His Agriculture minister Kipruto arap Kirwa mourns Kibaki as “a man who hated charlatans and scatterbrains around him”.
He says contrary to what most people believed to have been Kibaki’s love of beer, “he could hold on to one beer for three hours”.
“His form of expressing distaste for what you were telling him was to look away from you or start a line of conversation totally unrelated to what you are saying. He hated pettiness and leadership that was adding no value to people,” Mr Kirwa said.
Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi says he remembers Kibaki “as that household name when he was minister for Finance since in scholarly levels he was being described as that brilliant mind serving in a bad regime”.
He says Kibaki would take frustrations with a straight face and rally his troops behind optimism and never soaked himself in negative energy.
Mr Kiraitu eulogises him as an intelligent, calm nationalist, while Siaya Senator James Orengo says that he was only interested in “hearing what he needed to know but not what he needed to hear and was ever ready to listen to contrary opinion”.
Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang’ula describes Kibaki as “the best President ever…Shakespeare said some men are born great, other men acquire greatness and yet others have greatness thrust upon them … Mr Kibaki acquired greatness through sheer hard work and commitment to patriotism”.
Another of Kibaki’s buddies, Mr Joseph Munyao, who served as secretary-general of the Democratic Party and minister in his Cabinet, sums him as “that great thinker who loved to listen more than he spoke”.
Mr Munyao says Kibaki would have done better for Kenya if he had taken the reins of power in 1978.
“He strongly believed that Kenya had all the characteristics of [becoming] a superpower and it only needed good management. He had the clarity of thought and willingness to offer himself for the task…only that it was not designed to be so,” he said.
“But Kenyans were very lucky to have him in office in 2002 for that is the very time the country was on the extreme edge of going bananas. He rescued the country’s economy from total collapse.”
Noah Wekesa, who served as Kibaki’s minister for environment, says “Kibaki was more than a President to this country in that his passion was completely unadulterated in the desire to make a difference”.
He says when Kibaki gave someone a job, he was never interested in sideshows.
“He trusted his ministers and he was not the man to bypass you and the responsibilities that he had assigned you so as to please cronies. He always referred all who sought his intervention on any issue related to ministries to the minister in charge. He would only be interested in knowing if the minister was reluctant to help,” he said.
Kibaki’s golfing friend and businessman Joe Wanjui mourns him as “a man who many misconstrued as a coward…when his real identity was a rock packaged in gentleness”.
He was civil, polite and a go-getter who concealed his anger well.
“He was a good listener who liked going through all ideas presented to him with a fine comb. He was such an intelligent man that he would always pick the deception in ideas such that you were better off being honest with him,” My Wanjui said.
“Very many people found it very hard to understand Kibaki simply because not many matched his intellect. But that is not important, [what’s] important is his legacy….”
Longtime career administrator Joseph Kaguthi describes Kibaki as “a man who seethed in cool anger against ineptitude and dereliction of duty”. He says Kibaki could hit the roof in anger, especially against “intellectuals who behaved like fools”.
He says those around Kibaki were unanimous that he was a genius who never required lengthy presentations to grasp issues.
“He had the tendency to demand being addressed by people with straight thoughts and with clarity of mind. He hated people who were not in haste to make their point … Kibaki hated narratives, especially those that had no intellect,” he said.
Kibaki’s vice-president Moody Awori describes him as a man who had a rock in place of a heart.
“The man was simply astute in keeping emotions to himself…He led as a team leader who knew the first sign of despair was not supposed to come from him. He knew if he cracked, the rest of us would sink the ship,” he said.
Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua remembers Kibaki as one who valued including women in decision-making, a democrat par excellence who entertained no power brokers and their gossip.
“Mr Kibaki only entertained work-related banter that was aimed at getting the job done. All those who served to derail progress were unwelcome and he abhorred them. Kibaki was the mind that birthed performance in ministries and his only interest from those he recruited to help him deliver was performance, nothing else,” she said.
Nominated Senator Beth Mugo says as early as 1967, she had concluded that Kibaki would one day become President and serve the country and her people well.
“All around him were unanimous that his singular motivation was to serve. He appeared to know what was ailing his dockets and what therapy was needed. He revolutionised his dockets to emerge top performers. Even Mzee Jomo Kenyatta never hid his admiration for the man who appeared shy publicly, timid to the irrational but a man of steel to those who knew what to look for in great men,” she said.
Kibaki’s head of public service, Francis Kimemia, describes him as a man who hated negative minds.
“He would never tire of telling us that we were in government to lead people to overcome their challenges. He believed that the start of government failure was when its leaders became crybabies. He believed that there was a solution to all challenges. Above all, he hated criminals,” he said.
Mr Kimemia says “this was the President who would stand with you and absolve you from blame if you messed up in pursuit of the common good”.
Former Equity Bank chairman Peter Munga describes Kibaki as a “man who would work out financial problems without the use of a pen”.
He says Kibaki loved the world of mathematics and dissected budgets from the point of view of their real benefit to the people and their occupations.
“He abhorred all those who were in the habit of abusing figures with an intention [of packing] some cash for looting,” he said.
Mr Munga says Kibaki liked precise costing and even the cents mattered to him.
“He was not a man to work with rounded figures…he always insisted on proper accounts and was not the man to go for estimations. He wanted his figures right,” he said.
Mr Munga remembers Kibaki as the one who reinvigorated financial markets, evened trade by ensuring imperfect competition was eradicated and introduced the culture of tax burden bargains and rebates to help indigenous companies remain afloat.
Royal Media Services (RMS) chairman Samuel Kamau (SK) Macharia remembers the late Kibaki as helping “local investors maximise their potential by eradicating vendetta-driven governance that had become entrenched in the 24 years of his predecessor, Daniel Moi”.
Businessman Kiprono Kittony summed up Mr Kibaki as “the fallen hero who was the perfect example of level-headedness and whose transformational service to Kenya and her people is not fiction but boldly and conspicuously there for all to identify with”. | https://nation.africa/kenya/news/golden-memories-for-kibaki-the-great-3798466 | 2022-04-29T10:24:11Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/news/golden-memories-for-kibaki-the-great-3798466 | true | 1 |

Ukraine’s leader accused Russia of trying to humiliate the United Nations by raining missiles on Kyiv during a visit by Secretary-General António Guterres, an attack that shattered the capital's tentative return to normality as the focus of the war moved east.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s forces were holding off Russia's attempted advance in the south and east, as efforts continued to secure safe passage for residents of Mariupol, which has been largely reduced to rubble in a 2-month-long siege.
Russia pounded targets all over Ukraine on Thursday, including the attack on Kyiv that struck a residential high-rise and another building. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said Friday that one body was found in the rubble of the attack. Ten people were wounded, including at least one who lost a leg, according to Ukraine's emergency services.
In an apparent reference to the same strike, Russia’s Defense Ministry said Friday that it had destroyed “production buildings” at the Artem defense factory in Kyiv.
The boldest Russian bombardment of the capital since Moscow’s forces retreated weeks ago came barely an hour after Zelenskyy held a news conference with Guterres, who toured some of the destruction in and around Kyiv and condemned attacks on civilians.
More Russia-Ukraine War Coverage
“This says a lot about Russia’s true attitude towards global institutions, about attempts of Russian authorities to humiliate the U.N. and everything that the organization represents.,” Zelenskyy said in an overnight video address to the nation. "Therefore, it requires corresponding powerful reaction.”
One aim of Guterres' visit was to secure the evacuation of people from the ruined southern port city of Mariupol, including a shattered steelworks where Ukrainian defenders are holed up and hundreds of civilians are also sheltering,
It was unclear whether it had borne fruit. Previous evacuation attempts have collapsed.
“I cannot confirm the exact details of the operation to make sure it is done with safety for our people and for civilians stranded in Mariupol,” said Saviano Abreu, a spokesperson for the U.N.’s humanitarian office.
An official in Zelenskyy’s office said negotiations were underway with U.N. mediation and did not rule out that an evacuation of the plant could come Friday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Mariupol has seen some of the most dramatic sufferings of the war. Under siege since the early days of the invasion, many of its residents became trapped with scarce access to food, water, medicine or electricity.
An estimated 100,000 people are believed to still be in the city, and the city council warned Thursday that a lack of safe drinking water or a working sewer system could lead to outbreaks of deadly diseases such as cholera and dysentery. It added that bodies lay decaying under the rubble.
Russian forces largely control the city, but some 2,000 Ukrainian fighters are holed up at the steel plant, the last known pocket of resistance. About 1,000 civilians are with them, and the fighters said recent concentrated bombings killed and wounded people.
Video posted online by Ukraine’s Azov Regiment inside the steel plant showed people combing through the rubble to remove the dead and help the wounded. The regiment said the Russians hit an improvised underground hospital and its operating room, killing an unspecified number of people. The video couldn’t be independently verified.
The governor of Ukraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region, Valentyn Reznichenko, said two towns there were hit by Russian Grad rockets on Friday. There was no immediate word on casualties or damage. Separately, the governor of Russia’s Kursk region, Roman Starovoit, said that a border post came under mortar fire from Ukraine and that Russian border forces returned fire. He said there were no casualties on the Russian side.
That comes a day after explosions were reported across the country — in Polonne in the west, Chernihiv in the north near the border with Belarus, and Fastiv, a large railway hub southwest of the capital. The mayor of Odesa, in southern Ukraine, said rockets were intercepted by air defenses.
Ukrainian authorities also reported intense Russian fire in the Donbas — the eastern industrial heartland that the Kremlin says is its main objective — and near Kharkiv, a northeastern city outside the Donbas that is seen as key to the offensive.
In Kyiv, explosions shook the city and flames poured out the windows of the residential high-rise and another building. The capital had been relatively unscathed in recent weeks since Moscow refocused its efforts on seizing all of the Donbas.
The explosions in northwestern Kyiv’s Shevchenkivsky district came as residents have been increasingly returning to the city. Cafes and other businesses have reopened, and a growing number of people have been out and about, enjoying the spring weather.
On his visit to Ukraine, Guterres surveyed the destruction in small towns outside the capital that saw some of the worst horrors of the first onslaught of the war. He condemned the atrocities committed in towns like Bucha, where evidence of mass killings of civilians was found after Russia withdrew in early April in the face of unexpectedly stiff resistance.
“Wherever there is a war, the highest price is paid by civilians,” the U.N. chief lamented.
Getting a full picture of the unfolding battle in the east has been difficult because airstrikes and artillery barrages have made it extremely dangerous for reporters to move around. Several journalists have been killed in the war. Both Ukraine and the Moscow-backed rebels fighting in the east also have introduced tight restrictions on reporting from the combat zone.
Western officials say the Kremlin's apparent goal is to take the Donbas by encircling and crushing Ukrainian forces from the north, south and east.
But so far, Russia's troops and their allied separatist forces appear to have made only minor gains, taking several small towns as they try to advance in relatively small groups against staunch Ukrainian resistance.
Britain's Defense Ministry said Friday that the limited Russian territorial gains have been achieved at a significant cost to their forces. Britain has put Russian deaths in the two-month war at more than 15,000, a far higher number than Moscow has acknowledged.
Russian military units were mauled in the abortive bid to storm Kyiv and had to regroup and refit. Some analysts say the delay in launching a full-fledged offensive may reflect a decision by Russian President Vladimir Putin to wait until his forces are ready for a decisive battle, instead of rushing in and risking another failure that could shake his rule amid worsening economic conditions at home because of Western sanctions.
Many observers suspect Putin wants to be able to claim a victory in the east by Victory Day, on May 9, one of the proudest holidays on the Russian calendar, marking the defeat of Nazi Germany during World War II.
The terrible human cost of the war, which has driven more than 11 million Ukrainians from their homes, continues to climb.
In Lyman, a town in Donetsk where Russian forces are reportedly trying to advance as part of their Donbas push, shells rained on Tatiana Maksagory’s home this week, devastating her family.
Maksagory’s 14-year-old grandson, Igor, was declared dead after emergency services drove him to the hospital. Her daughter was in serious condition and her son-in-law was also killed.
“Grandma, will I live?“ she said Igor asked her when they were in the basement waiting for help. “I said that he would live. But look what happened, I betrayed him.”

From a management trainee to CIO of Hindustan Unilever, here’s Shruti Kashyap’s 15-year journey
false
true
“Take risks and acknowledge the fact that risks can go either way. A risk, however, will always be a learning experience,” says Shruti Kashyap, CIO, Hindustan Unilever and Head of IT - South Asia, Unilever. In a career spanning over 15 years, taking risks and challenging the status quo are just some of her many success mantras.
As part of YourStory’s ‘HER Leadership’ series that captures success stories of India’s top enterprise business leaders, Shruti describes herself as a “wannabe superwoman” who adds a touch of humour in everything she does. The ‘HER Leadership’ interview series is powered by AWS.
In her episode, Shruti recounts her professional achievements, experimenting with different roles at Unilever, developing a leadership style, and learning along the way. Her affable personality shines through, every single time she chooses to share an anecdote from her treasure trove of diverse experiences.
Road to success
Shruti’s indomitable spirit and solid mentorship have helped her face challenges head-on.
Speaking with Chandra Prakash Balani, Head – Global Enterprise, India, Amazon Internet Services Pvt Ltd, Shruti recalls how her openness to learning new things and excitement to take up opportunities have played catalysts in her journey at Unilever.
Around a decade ago, Shruti had to make a choice between sales technology, which was her domain of expertise, and digital marketing, which was an unexplored territory. “One of my mentors encouraged me to take up something new. I took on the new role, where I was part of the team designing marketing strategies for our brands,” she explains, adding that their team designed a mobile radio channel to create content for the vernacular markets. The content also carried Hindustan Unilever (HUL) brand advertising and proved to be a successful campaign, eventually becoming a strong social channel for HUL and winning the Cannes Gold Lion award which was a first for Unilever in the mobile category.
Another important milestone was the opportunity to lead the HUL-GSK merger, India’s largest FMCG merger. Although it was a great opportunity, many discouraged her to take it up, calling it a “step down” because she had to report to a peer for the same. “I spoke to one of my mentors who advised me not to let organisational structures come in the way of earning a great experience, always putting experience over everything else,” adds Shruti reiterating the importance of having good mentors.
Shruti is extremely proud of the application ‘Shikhar’ - built in partnership with AWS - a one-stop shop for all retailers that enabled them to place orders, and keep a track of stocks, offers and discounts, during the pandemic-induced lockdowns.
Learnings along the way
Sharing an anecdote, Shruti recalls the time when she had joined Unilever after her maternity leave and had confidently applied for the position of CIO at HUL. “I was extremely low and very lost. I did get the job two years later, and in hindsight, I realised that it wasn’t the right time for me earlier. I would have broken down handling a six-month child, and a demanding job,” she quips.
“Sometimes, as women, we feel guilty about taking it easy and put that pressure on ourselves. It is fine not to be a go-getter at all times … Sometimes, it is fine to take it easy for a while and bounce back,” adds Shruti.
She eventually earned her “dream job” in April 2020.
Shruti also speaks about how her understanding of topics such as diversity, inclusion and equity has evolved over the years. “At Unilever, we are looking at it more holistically. We are also looking at conversations around LGBTQ and are encouraging employees to talk about their own journeys,” adds Shruti, highlighting how these conversations have helped her gain a more nuanced understanding of such pertinent issues.
Leadership mantras
Shruti credits HUL for giving her new opportunities at regular intervals and a conducive work environment where she could thrive in all these years.
Through her many experiences, Shruti has learned how critical it is for a leader to be self-motivated because a leader’s low morale could easily spill over to the team, thereby impacting overall performance.
“As a leader, it's very important to have people who want to work for you. You don't want to become a leader where you want to hire someone, and they don't want to work for you,” adds Shruti, highlighting that she has learned to try and make a real difference by encouraging people to discover their purpose.
Stressing on developing the right “width and depth” for ensuring a successful career, Shruti reiterates that while one should always be open to learning new things, it’s important to develop expertise and build different skills and experiences. “Find one area where you could delve deep in, it could be a passion point, decide that for yourself. And then, if you have the right amount of width on top of this depth, you’ll become a more wholesome professional,” quips Shruti with a smile. | https://yourstory.com/2022/04/hindustan-unilever-cio-shruti-kashyaps-journey/amp | 2022-04-29T10:38:15Z | https://yourstory.com/2022/04/hindustan-unilever-cio-shruti-kashyaps-journey/amp | false | 1 |
Port Arthur's first distillery is finally open
Sean L. Clifford dreamt of one day opening his own distilling business, digging into his Tennessee mountain whiskey-making roots and bringing his great-great-great grandfather's 250-year-old whiskey recipe to the public.
Thursday, Clifford and family joined with others, raising that very whiskey in a toast "to the success of Port Arthur" in the tasting room of the new Clifford Distilling business.
The grand opening, timed to coincide with the anniversary of San Jacinto Day, which also happened to be Clifford's 50th birthday, kicked off with a ribbon cutting outside before convening inside, where Clifford, surrounded by his eldest son Sean, middle son Zachary and wife Wendy, thanked all those in Port Arthur who helped make the dream a reality.
The list was long, including the Queen family, the Economic Development Corporation, Chamber of Commerce, the Port of Port Arthur, Port Arthur City Council and others. Then the Clifford's received an honor of their own from Governor Greg Abbott, presented on his behalf by Betty Russo.
After his remarks, the real celebration began as son Sean cracked open the first bottles - three varieties of whiskey and two rums, all made on-site at the downtown location on Procter Street.
As son Sean poured the first rounds, owner Sean Clifford talked with guests about the decor of the tasting room and other areas of the venue, most of which were made from materials steeped in Texas history, like the wood from a relative's home damaged in the wake of a hurricane.
The whiskeys and rums are created with two of Clifford's biggest loves in mind - Texas history and the military.

The San Jacinto clear and San Patricio dark rums are 82-proof in honor of the 82nd Airborne Division; the whiskeys 101-proof for the 101st Airborne Division.
The whiskeys include the Gonzales, a clear whiskey as it isn't cured in oak -- Clifford says it's essentially Moonshine that's been made to a drinkable level. The Goliad is a single-aged, single-finish whiskey whose name derives from the prisoners of war executed by Santa Ana's army in Goliad, Texas. The San Antonio is their smoothest whiskey, a double-aged variety best suited for drinking straight or on the rocks.
The rums are made with sulfur-free molasses instead of the commonly-used blackstrap molasses, with a sulfuric content that can overpower the sweetness.
Clifford also offered a taste of his newest creation -- one still in the making. It's a malt whiskey made from corn, which will be the only malt whiskey of its kind in the world. It will be called "The Port Arthur."
The opening celebration included tours of the distillery, refreshments, artwork on display and for sale by members of the Artists of Southeast Texas, and plenty of Clifford Distilling merchandise. Outside, the Boss Burger food truck came to join in the event.
Clifford Distilling will be open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Hours may vary with special events. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2583201673829/port-arthur-s-first-distillery-is-finally-open | 2022-04-29T10:43:55Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2583201673829/port-arthur-s-first-distillery-is-finally-open | false | 1 |
