*storms Anambra with 52 medical officers
*targets 300,000 beneficiaries
From Chuks Collins, Awka
A non-governmental humanitarian organization under the aegis of Ferdinand Dozie Nwankwo Foundation has kicked off its 2022 edition of its annual free medical outreach to citizens of Anambra State
The outreach which is in its twelfth edition under the sponsorship of a member of the Federal House of Representatives, Hon Dozie Nwankwo representing Njikoka/Anaocha/Dunukofia Constituency has been in existence for nearly three decades.
According to Hon Nwankwo, the Foundation which he established years ago as a vehicle to give back to the society and to positively touch lives of the citizens, especially the less privileged.
He noted that he has been conscientiously holding the medical outreach for twenty years before the citizens of the area implored him to come and represent them at the national assembly seven years ago.
Nwankwo who was represented by Barrister Law Ugwunna, while performing the flag off assured the citizens that all health challenges would be attended to as virtually all are covered under the foundation’s medical programme.
While cutting the tape to declare the programme open, Ugwunna urged “everyone that is unable to see a doctor today to visit the next nearest location the next day. That previous editions of the outreach had focused on citizens from only three Council areas of Njikoka, Anaocha and Dunukofia. But that the current edition will cover seven Councils of Idemili North, Idemili South, Awka North, Awka South, Njikoka, Dunukofia and Anaocha that constitute Anambra Central Senatorial district.
No fewer than three hundred thousand beneficiaries yjat cut across genders, age, sex and social class were expected to benefit.
Hon Dozie Nwankwo is presently contesting for the Anambra Central senatorial seat under the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.
The leader of the Medical team, Dr (Mrs) Gemma Henry-Ibeh expressed appreciation to Ferdinand Dozie Nwankwo foundation for always remembering the constituents and making their healthcare a priority. the areas include eye treatment, surgeries and general health examination.
She therefore urged more rich citizens to emulate Nwankwo to improve the lot of their people in other areas of life.
Dr Henry-Ibeh disclosed that she drew the fifty-two medics from within Anambra, Imo, and Enugu states, and the programme would last for three weeks. | https://247ureports.com/2022/04/foundation-flags-off-7-council-mass-free-medical-treatment/ | 2022-04-29T10:44:58Z | https://247ureports.com/2022/04/foundation-flags-off-7-council-mass-free-medical-treatment/ | true | 1 |
Russian ex-minister jailed for bribery granted parole
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s former economic development minister sentenced for eight years on bribery charges has been granted parole. Alexei Ulyukayev, the highest-ranking Russian official to be arrested and imprisoned since 1993, has served more than five years. He had filed a petition for early release, and court officials told Interfax news Agency Friday that he was granted parole two days earlier. Ulyukayev was detained in 2016 at the headquarters of Russia’s largest oil producer, state-owned Rosneft, after a sting operation by Russia’s main intelligence agency. Prosecutors say he accepted a $2 million bribe from Rosneft’s influential CEO, Igor Sechin, for giving the company the green light to privatize another oil firm. Ulyukayev has maintained his innocence. | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/04/29/russian-ex-minister-jailed-for-bribery-granted-parole/ | 2022-04-29T10:45:55Z | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/04/29/russian-ex-minister-jailed-for-bribery-granted-parole/ | false | null |

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s one of the most recognizable outfits in American movie history, the blue-and-white checked gingham dress a young Judy Garland wore as Dorothy in the classic 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz.”
For decades, one of the versions of the dress Garland wore in the movie was assumed lost at Catholic University of America, where it had been given to someone in the drama department in the early 1970s. But the clearing out of some office clutter last year led to the finding of the dress in an old shoebox, and now it’s headed for the auction block.
When she first saw it, “all I could think about was watching the movie when I was a child and growing up with” it, said Jacqueline Leary-Warsaw, dean of the school of music, drama and art at Catholic University, in Washington, D.C. “In a way it was like I was looking at my past childhood.”
She and others are hopeful that nostalgia factor will come into play when the costume goes up for sale at Bonhams “Classic Hollywood: Film and Television” auction on May 24 in Los Angeles, where it has a presale estimate of $800,000 to $1.2 million. Bonhams has the dress on display this week at the auction house’s New York location before it is sent to California for public view and then auction.
Helen Hall, director of popular culture for Bonhams, said that the market for memorabilia, and film costumes in particular, is strong, and that “The Wizard of Oz” is a cultural touchstone.
People “very much remember the first time they saw the film, the effect it had on their lives,” she said. The film is renowned for its music, its dialogue and its visuals, particularly when Dorothy goes from drab, sepia-colored Kansas to gloriously multicolored Oz.
There was more than one of the costume made for Garland while filming. Hall said that four are known to exist and that only two, including the one found at Catholic University, are with the blouse she wore underneath. Bonhams sold the other one with a blouse at an auction in 2015 for more than $1.5 million.
(There are also some surviving pairs of the ruby slippers Garland wore, with one pair in the collection at the Smithsonian.)
The rediscovered dress had initially been given to Father Gilbert Hartke, who was then head of the university’s drama department, in 1973 by actress Mercedes McCambridge, Leary-Warsaw said, although it’s not clear how McCambridge came to have it.
Somehow, in the years that followed, the department lost track of the costume until it became “something that people had thought was just a myth,” she said. Last year, during preparations for a renovation, a bag containing the shoebox was opened, and there it was — though how it got to where it ended up remains a mystery, Leary-Warsaw said.
The dress was in good condition, aside from a piece that had been cut away, while the blouse was more fragile.
In researching the dress, it was determined that Garland wore it in the movie in the scene where she is confronted in a castle by a threatening Wicked Witch of the West.
The school decided to auction it off instead of keeping it, and plans to use the proceeds from the auction sale to create a full-fledged film program in the drama department. | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/04/27/lost-for-decades-dorothys-dress-from-oz-up-for-sale/ | 2022-04-29T10:50:45Z | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/04/27/lost-for-decades-dorothys-dress-from-oz-up-for-sale/ | false | 89 |

A Conservative MP has been charged with failing to stop after being involved in a car crash last year.
Jamie Wallis, 37, from Cowbridge, South Wales, has also been charged with failing to report a road traffic collision, driving without due care and attention and leaving a vehicle in a dangerous position.
The representative for Bridgend and first openly transgender MP was arrested on suspicion of “driving whilst unfit” following the late-night collision when a car hit a lamppost in Llanblethian on November 28.
At the time Wallis said he was “assisting police with their inquiries”.
South Wales Police have said Wallis will appear before Cardiff Magistrates’ Court on May 10.
In a highly public statement released last month Wallis revealed he had been raped and blackmailed, and was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
He also said he wants to transition to be a woman.
He wrote he had been targeted by a blackmailer who threatened to out him to the public unless he paid £50,000.
The MP said the offender was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison after admitting his guilt.
He also disclosed he was raped by a man he “hooked up” with after meeting online, saying after the experience he “felt very ashamed and empty inside” and suffered nightmares and flashbacks as a result.
He was praised by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other MPs after posting the message online shortly before 3am on March 30, following a gathering for Tory MPs at which Mr Johnson reportedly made a joke about trans issues.
In an interview with Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday, Wallis gave advice to young people struggling with their gender identity.
He said he “wouldn’t wait as long as I’ve waited”, but there was “nothing wrong with just taking some time and discovering yourself”.
“But when you know who you are, you are ready and you want to tell the world, there are people like myself who are waiting and we’re welcoming, we’re friendly and we’re here to help and support,” he added.
Wallis won his seat in December 2019, managing to oust Labour’s Madeleine Moon who had held the constituency for 14 years.
The following month there were calls in the House of Commons from Opposition MPs for him to apologise after company records showed he had held a business interest in a so-called “sugar daddy” website called Sugar-Daddy.net which was branded “exploitative and demeaning”.
In February this year, Wallis was fined £270 and received three points on his licence at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court after admitting the offence of crossing a solid white line while driving a Mercedes on the A48 in August 2021. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/uk/4227194/conservative-mp-jamie-wallis-charged-over-late-night-crash/ | 2022-04-29T10:54:57Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/uk/4227194/conservative-mp-jamie-wallis-charged-over-late-night-crash/ | true | 14 |
Math textbooks axed for their treatment of race; a viral Twitter account directing ire at LGBTQ teachers; a state law forbidding classroom discussion of sexual identity in younger grades; a board book for babies targeted as "pornographic." Lately it seems there's a new controversy erupting every day over how race, gender or history are tackled in public school classrooms.
But for most parents, these concerns seem to be far from top of mind. That's according to a new national poll by NPR and Ipsos. By wide margins – and regardless of their political affiliation – parents express satisfaction with their children's schools and what is being taught in them.
The nationally representative poll of 1,007 parents of school-aged children follows up on a similar survey NPR and Ipsos conducted about a year ago. In both polls, parents answered questions about the impact of the pandemic on their children, academically and socially, and about their schools' performance during this time.
This year's responses showed positive trends as the nation continues to recover from the worst of the pandemic. Compared to 2021, a growing margin of parents say their child is "ahead" when it comes to math, reading, social skills, and mental health and well-being. Fewer parents say their child is "behind" in those areas. In fact, in 2022, almost half of parents, 47%, agree with the statement: "the pandemic has not disrupted my child's education." That's up from 38% in 2021, and is a view at odds with that of most education researchers, who see big disruptions in indicators like test scores, college attendance, and preschool enrollment.
Education is a concern, but most parents say their own kids' school is doing well
For decades, voters have expressed concern in polls about the state of K-12 education in the U.S. But when you zoom in closer, parents seem to like their own kids' school, and they like their kids' teachers even more.
That's true in the NPR/Ipsos poll as well. Parents named education as their top concern after inflation and crime/gun violence.
However, 88% of respondents agree "my child's teacher(s) have done the best they could, given the circumstances around the pandemic." And 82% agree "my child's school has handled the pandemic well."
Parents feel well-informed about curricula, even when there's controversy
That satisfaction extends to hot-button topics. In the poll, 76% of respondents agree that "my child's school does a good job keeping me informed about the curriculum, including potentially controversial topics."
It really is a pretty vocal minority that is hyper-focused on parental rights and decisions around curriculum.
"It really is a pretty vocal minority that is hyper-focused on parental rights and decisions around curriculum," observes Mallory Newall of Ipsos, which conducted the poll.
Just 18% of parents say their child's school taught about gender and sexuality in a way that clashed with their family's values; just 19% say the same about race and racism; and just 14% feel that way about U.S. history.
Christine, a mother in Wisconsin who participated in the poll, is a member of that vocal minority. She asked not to use her last name because she says she's afraid of her child being retaliated against.
Christine, who is white, says her son's teacher has made "snarky comments about white privilege. " She also doesn't approve of her son, who is in high school, being asked what pronouns he prefers to use. Switching to a different school or district would be tough for their family, so, Christine says, "hopefully we can do enough countereducation at home to have it not be detrimental to [his] growth and development."
There is a striking lack of partisan divides in the poll responses
As a pollster, Newall at Ipsos says big partisan divides are "all I see on every topic right now." She was struck by the relative lack of them in this poll.
Christine is the type of discontented parent who's most often reflected in the headlines: a cultural conservative. Yet in our poll, the minority of parents who were unhappy with how their school tackled racism and U.S. history were just as likely to identify as Democrats as Republicans. In other words: For every parent who thinks their child's school is too "woke," there may be one who thinks it isn't woke enough.
Jim Ondelacy is a Native American and a Democrat living in North Richland Hills, Texas, outside Fort Worth. He wishes his son's high school went more in depth and taught more about the nation's history of racism and oppression.
"It's more of a water-down effect ... [the teachers] kind of whitewash the way that history is taught to their kids," he says.
He wants the school to teach about the French and Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War, and about slavery during the Revolutionary War.
"They understand what's happening with Black Lives Matter ... but they don't really understand where it came from and how it started," he says.
The most partisan issue in our poll was gender and sexuality, but still only a minority expressed any concerns. Republicans are closely divided: 26% say schools are not teaching about gender and sexuality in a way that matches their family's values, while 22% say schools are (the remainder don't know or say schools aren't addressing those topics).
Among Democrats, a third agree with their school's approach to gender and sexuality, while only 11% disagree.
Taryn Chatel, in Belmont, Mich., is the mother of a kindergartner, and has a family friend who is transgender. She's hoping the school will introduce the idea of gender diversity, so it's not all on her as a parent. "I really hope the district can get behind a way of implementing this," she says.
The silent majority of parents is unconcerned
Republican governors like Ron DeSantis in Florida and Glenn Youngkin in Virginia have helped make parents' rights into a major political talking point, and Republican-aligned groups like No Left Turn In Education and Parents Defending Education have continuously pushed these issues into the spotlight.
It's definitely an incredibly small minority that's being amplified with this large, well-funded infrastructure to appear larger and to appear to have more well-founded concerns than they do.
Ralph Wilson, a researcher who studies how partisan donors back the culture war, says these groups imply that they represent a silent majority of conservative-leaning parents. But that's not necessarily the case, he says.
"It's definitely an incredibly small minority that's being amplified with this large, well-funded infrastructure to appear larger and to appear to have more well-founded concerns than they do."
In fact, in our poll, about a third of parents say they "don't know" how their child's school addresses sexuality, gender identity, racism or patriotism. That's far more than the percentage who express any problem – in some cases, twice as many.
Carmen Shipley, in Grand Junction, Colo., says she "picks her battles" when it comes to her daughter's high school.
"I know there's been some controversy ... but I don't honestly pay much attention to that, as much as some others here."
She and her neighbors tend toward the conservative, and the local school board does as well, so she feels like everyone's on the same page. "I have no issues with any of her teachers ... I'm fairly comfortable with all of that."
Besides, she says, her top priority isn't the culture wars; it's making sure her daughter stays engaged with her studies and is prepared for college.

UPSHUR COUNTY — Dane Martin leaned out the side of his 1997 Toyota 4Runner to get a better view Thursday as he navigated his way down a muddy trail at Barnwell Mountain Recreational Area northeast of Gilmer.
Martin and other off-road enthusiasts were getting started on the first day of a weekend of events during the 16th annual Lone Star Toyota Jamboree with attendance expected to surpass 600 vehicles.
Organizers called the event “one of the largest gatherings of Toyota off-road enthusiast and vendors held in the country,” and volunteer coordinator Taylor Tarr said this is a record year for attendance.
"We've purchased food to feed 1,200 people for the meals that we're providing," he said on Thursday.
The board of directors' planning committee has eight members, and the event's volunteers — or “offroadies” as they’re affectionately called, make up the staff. According to Tarr, many of those offroadies have attended the event for years because it is an opportunity for them to see each other.
"Instead of coming out here and showing their cars, they want to come out here and hang out with their friends and have a good time," he said. "We've got a very loyal staff of devoted folks that come year in and year out."
While the Jamboree includes plenty of time for riding the trails, it also offers an opportunity to learn through training programs, which include courses like an “Introduction to Overlanding.”
Topics for the Thursday course included navigation, responsible travel, vehicle preparation and more.
In addition to educational opportunities, the four-day schedule offers guided trails, contests and other activities. Food and merchandise vendors come to the event to showcase their work, and multiple raffles are also a part of the festivities.
The event benefits the recreation park and Women Rock, an organization dedicated to raising breast cancer awareness.
The 1,800-acre park, 6284 Texas 155, offers trails for a variety of experience levels with cabins, space for camping and RV hookups.
The event continues through Sunday.

Hundreds of millions of Indians are reeling from a heatwave affecting large parts of the country, with their suffering compounded by an electricity shortage.
The temperature in New Delhi reached 43.5ºC on Thursday, the capital's hottest April day in 12 years, and was forecast to reach 44ºC on Friday and rise even higher at the weekend, according to the India Meteorological Department.
Parts of India have witnessed spells of scorching heat since March — usually a time of pleasant spring temperatures before the summer sets in, in mid-April. Delhi recorded a high of 40.1ºC, its hottest March temperature in nearly 75 years.
Temperatures across northern, eastern and central parts of the country hovered around 45ºC on Thursday.
A heatwave is declared when temperatures cross 40ºC or reach 4.5 degrees above the average for the time of year.
The Met office predicted extremely high temperatures in more than a dozen states over the next few days, including in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh, and the union territory of Jammu.
People have been advised to avoid direct heat exposure, wear light clothing and cover their heads with a hat or umbrella.
In Agra, home of the Taj Mahal, the city's streets were deserted on Friday and many people sought relief from the heat in streams and ponds.
In West Bengal, authorities ordered schools to stock up on oral hydration salts for pupils.
In neighbouring Odisha state, the government closed schools and issued a “yellow warning” in 11 districts.
The intense heat caused a fire at one of Delhi's biggest rubbish dumps, as well as a forest fire in Uttarakhand's Srinagar district. Firefighters were battling the blaze in Delhi for a third day on Friday.
“We can say this is the hottest April since 2010 and is rare,” said Mahesh Palawat, vice president at private forecaster Skymet Weather, who attributed the unusual heat to “climate change and global warming".
“Extreme weather events are on rise. Prolonged heatwaves and long dry spells are now the norm,” Mr Palawat told The National.
He expected some relief by the second week of May.
The ordeal for residents of affected areas has been exacerbated by widespread electricity cuts, caused by heavy demand and a shortage of coal to run thermal power plants.
Peak power demand in the country of 1.3 billion reached a record 204.65 gigawatts on Thursday, the electricity ministry said, and is projected to increase to 215GW in coming months.
The federal government has cancelled several passenger trains to allow faster movement of coal carriages to replenish depleting inventories at power stations.
The government in the capital region said on Friday that the power shortage could affect Delhi's essential services, including metro trains and hospitals. | https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/asia/2022/04/29/india-struggling-to-cope-as-heatwave-pushes-temperatures-to-record-highs/ | 2022-04-29T11:03:07Z | https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/asia/2022/04/29/india-struggling-to-cope-as-heatwave-pushes-temperatures-to-record-highs/ | false | 1 |

IOM Flash Appeal - Ukraine and Neighbouring Countries: April 2022
Attachments
The war in Ukraine has triggered one of the largest humanitarian crises on record with over 7.7M people displaced in the country and another 5M refugees and 224,000 third country nationals (TCNs) fleeing across borders in the past two months. As the crisis continues to evolve, displacement patterns continue to change. Flexibility to support previously trapped populations in newly accessible areas, and to address new and secondary displacements and returning populations with humanitarian assistance, remains at the forefront of the response.
IOM’s Revised Flash Appeal for Ukraine and Neighbouring Countries seeks to mobilize 514M USD in order to meet the needs of crisis affected people inside Ukraine and its neighbouring countries – Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia – as well as other states providing refuge to Ukrainians and TCNs.
IOM’s overarching priorities include the dignity, safety and protection of vulnerable conflict affected populations, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, trapped populations, host communities and third country nationals (TCN), and the provision of quality services across a comprehensive set of sectors.
IOM will implement a multi-sector humanitarian response, supporting Government partners and local authorities to respond. IOM’s approach is aligned with the humanitarian-development-peace-nexus and IOM’s Global Strategic Vision to set the stage for transitional opportunities that enable medium and longer-term interventions, particularly for community infrastructure and services, and support for livelihoods and economic resilience.
This appeal outlines IOM’s proposed response since the conflict began through the end of the year (2022), focusing on a range of activities that aim to meet the varied needs of those impacted by the crisis and is fully aligned with inter-agency appeals. | https://reliefweb.int/report/ukraine/iom-flash-appeal-ukraine-and-neighbouring-countries-april-2022 | 2022-04-29T11:06:03Z | https://reliefweb.int/report/ukraine/iom-flash-appeal-ukraine-and-neighbouring-countries-april-2022 | false | 1 |

EXCUSIVE: Greenwich Entertainment said Monday that it has acquired North American distribution rights to Accepted , the feature documentary from The Disunited States of America helmer Dan Chen that played at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival .
The pic, from Concordia Studio, Boardwalk Pictures, Diamond Docs and Jubilee Media, will now get a July 1 release date in theaters.
Accepted goes inside the high-stakes quest for elite college admissions and centers on TM Landry Prep School in Louisiana, which boasted a remarkable 100% college acceptance rate for its ambitious, underprivileged high school students. That was before a New York Times exposé detailing Landry’s methods led the school to buckle under the scrutiny, leaving its students’ fates in limbo.
Deadline bowed a first-look clip of the film ahead of its Tribeca bow last year.
Chen also produced the film with Jason Lee, Jesse Einstein and Mark Monroe. Executive producers are Davis Guggenheim, Laurene Powell Jobs, Jonathan Silberberg, Nicole Stott, Andrew Fried, Dane Lillegard, Jordan Wynn, Ryan Hashemi and Ien Chi.
“I look forward to working with Greenwich as we release Accepted in theaters and out into the world, and I can’t wait for audiences to witness this extraordinary story as told by the students who lived through it,” Chen said. “To the people who opened up their lives to a film crew, and the collaborators who poured themselves into this project, I’m incredibly grateful. It’s been the education of a lifetime.”
Greenwich’s Andy Bohn negotiated the acquisition with Submarine’s Ben Schwartz for the filmmakers.

Jeannine Cook has been fascinated with Harriet Tubman ever since she picked up a book about the abolitionist in her school library as a child.
Cook, 38, learned everything she could about Tubman’s life and how she led over 100 enslaved people to freedom before serving in the Union Army during the Civil War. In February 2020, just before the pandemic hit, Cook opened Harriett’s Bookshop, a Philadelphia bookstore named after Tubman that sells books by female authors.
Now seeking to honor Tubman on a grander scale, Cook is campaigning to make her the first American woman to be honored with a federal holiday. Cook has collected more than 7,800 signatures on a petition calling for the designation, and she distributes blank postcards in her bookstore that customers can use to write their representatives in support of the effort.
More Harriet Tubman Coverage
At least one politician has taken notice. Last month, Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., introduced a bill in the House that would establish Harriet Tubman Day as a federal holiday sometime after Presidents Day.
In 1990, President George H.W. Bush proclaimed March 10 Harriet Tubman Day after Congress passed a resolution calling for its establishment. Still, it wasn’t made a federal holiday, and Cook and other supporters say Tubman’s life and legacy deserve a higher level of national recognition.

A Michigan man was charged with hate crimes after he allegedly intimidated supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement by leaving handwritten notes and nooses around his community, the Department of Justice said.
Kenneth Pilon, 61, has been charged with six counts of interfering with federally protected activities for incidents dating back to June and July 2020 — which is when the wave of nationwide protests began after the murder of George Floyd.
Floyd, 46, died on May 25, 2020, when fellow Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes, ultimately killing him.
Pilon allegedly called nine Starbucks stores across Michigan, telling workers that answered his calls to tell the employees wearing Black Lives Matter T-shirts that "the only good n***er is a dead n***er," according to the criminal complaint filed this week.
Pilon is also accused of telling one of the employees, "I'm gonna go out and lynch me a n*****."
Over the course of the month, authorities say Pilon left four nooses in parking lots across Saginaw, Mich., with notes attached that read, "An accessory to be worn with your 'BLM' t-shirt. Happy protesting!" according to the criminal complaint. Authorities say a fifth one was found inside a 7-Eleven in a beverage cooler.
A spokesperson for Starbucks and 7-Eleven did not immediately respond to a request to comment.
"Specifically, Pilon intimidated and attempted to intimidate citizens from participating lawfully in speech and peaceful assembly opposing the denial of Black people's right to enjoy police protection and services free from brutality," the complaint said.
At this time, it is unknown if Pilon has acquired an attorney. The case is currently being investigated by the FBI and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is prosecuting the case.

One-fifth of reptiles worldwide face risk of extinction
WASHINGTON (AP) — Even the king cobra is “vulnerable.” More than 1 in 5 species of reptiles worldwide are threatened with extinction, according to a comprehensive new assessment of thousands of species published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
Of 10,196 reptile species analyzed, 21% percent were classified as endangered, critically endangered or vulnerable to extinction — including the iconic hooded snakes of South and Southeast Asia.
“This work is a very significant achievement — it adds to our knowledge of where threatened species are, and where we must work to protect them,” said Duke University ecologist Stuart Pimm, who was not involved in the study.
Similar prior assessments had been conducted for mammals, birds and amphibians, informing government decisions about how to draw boundaries of national parks and allocate environmental funds.
Work on the reptile study – which involved nearly 1,000 scientists and 52 co-authors – started in 2005. The project was slowed by challenges in fundraising, said co-author Bruce Young, a zoologist at the nonprofit science organization NatureServe.
“There’s a lot more focus on furrier, feathery species of vertebrates for conservation,” Young said, lamenting the perceived charisma gap. But reptiles are also fascinating and essential to ecosystems, he said.
The Galapagos marine iguana, the world’s only lizard adapted to marine life, is classified as “vulnerable” to extinction, said co-author Blair Hedges, a biologist at Temple University. It took 5 million years for the lizard to adapt to foraging in the sea, he said, lamenting “how much evolutionary history can be lost if this single species” goes extinct.
Six of the world’s species of sea turtles are threatened. The seventh is likely also in trouble, but scientists lack data to make a classification.
Worldwide, the greatest threat to reptile life is habitat destruction. Hunting, invasive species and climate change also pose threats, said co-author Neil Cox, a manager at the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s biodiversity assessment unit.
Reptiles that live in forest areas, such as the king cobra, are more likely to be threatened with extinction than desert-dwellers, in part because forests face greater human disruptions, the study found.

Emmerdale fans have shared an interesting theory about a departing character on the ITV soap, with some viewers suspecting that she might be related to Lydia Dingle.
Lydia, played by Karen Blick, 47, was introduced on the show in 2016, with her tragic backstory having been uncovered in recent years, following her marriage into the Dingle family.
The character, who was introduced as 'Lydia Hart,' had actually assumed the identity of a dead housemate, after fleeing the life she had when she was known as Jenny Finn.
And some fans now suspect that a long lost sister storyline may be on the horizon for the character in the near future, with them having shared the theory on social media.
It's been theorised that Gail Hancock (Elizabeth Boag) - who has been the nurse of Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) following his stroke - could actually be related to Lydia.
Fans have suggested that there's a resemblance between Boag and Blick, with them proposing the theory ahead of the former's departure, as reported by the Daily Star.
One fan said on Facebook : "She looks a lot like Lydia… maybe the mother had twins and gave her up at birth and kept Lydia as she couldn't look after both?"
Another speculated similarly on Twitter recently: "Does anyone else think nurse Gail in #Emmerdale could somehow be Lydia's long lost sister? They look weirdly alike…"
One fan however has pointed out that a long lost sister was already introduced for Lydia, with Beth Finn (Jeanette Percival) having appeared in episodes in 2019.
The theory comes as Boag announced that she is leaving the popular ITV soap opera, though that doesn't mean that her character won't return at some point.

The actor tweeted earlier this week: "Bye Gail! Thank you @markcharnock, @ZoeHenry03, all the cast, crew and casting team @emmerdale. Loved every minute."
Fans were quick to share their hope that the character could get a job in the village surgery, which would leave it open for her to connect with Lydia and others in the future.
"Isn't the local doctors needing a new nurse after theirs went to prison? Let's have Gail as a regular," suggested one fan. Another however said Gail is a specialist stroke nurse.
Another tweeted: "Come and join the village. The surgery needs a qualified nurse. You're perfect for the part." One viewer said: I do hope the writers will use you again."
"You were brilliant Elizabeth. Hopefully you might get a job in the village," tweeted one fan. Another said on the platform recently: "I'm sad. I hope you return permanently."
Another suggested: "They should move you to the village as a main cast member." Whilst another said: "You were brilliant in your role. They should give you a full time part."
Emmerdale continues tonight at 7.30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.

A festival at Blackburn Rovers' stadium has been postponed, with organisers blaming the soaring cost of living.
SummerFest, due to be held at Ewood Park from 27-29 May, will instead be postponed until next year. The festival was due to headline acts such as The Human League, Midge Ure, Boy George and Culture Club and UB40.
Organisers behind the event issued a statement stating that they have made "the difficult decision to postpone" the event. The statement cites the reason behind the decision as: "the current economic climate causing increased costs out of our control, it has presented us with an impossible task of delivering a high-quality event in 2022."

The Finance Ministry will discuss with market regulator Sebi to exempt LIC from the minimum public shareholding norm, DIPAM Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Friday. Under the Sebi's minimum public shareholding norms, listed entities with a valuation of over one lakh crore need to have at least 25 percent public shareholding within 5 years of listing. The government had last year exempted public sector entities from this norm.
The government is selling over 22.13 crore shares in LIC at a price band of Rs 902-949 apiece in the initial public offering, which opens on May 4 and closes on May 9. LIC would start trading on stock exchanges on May 17. The government expects to raise around Rs 21,000 crore from LIC IPO, which values the state-owned insurer at Rs 6 lakh crore.
Briefing reporters ahead of mega LIC IPO, Pandey said the government will not dilute its stake in Life Insurance Corporation within one year of listing. "Going forward the roadmap for a very large player like LIC we will have to discuss with Sebi and Department of Economic Affairs for a right kind of roadmap for minimum public shareholding. We know it's not easy. Even 5 percent at this point of time would not be acceptable to the market," Pandey said.
As per the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) norms, companies with a valuation of over Rs 1 lakh crore have to sell a minimum 5 percent stake in IPO. However, LIC has been exempted from this guideline.
"We had to seek special Sebi dispensation for relaxation for 3.5 percent stake dilution. The reason for this was a very large corporate was entering the arena. We also had to be mindful of how it impacts the capital market in general. There was crowding out effect," Pandey added.
Speaking at the event, Financial Services Secretary Sanjay Malhotra said that the embedded value of new companies is small, and they have larger growth potential. The EV growth potential is less for older companies like LIC, he said while clarifying the perceived low valuation of the country's largest insurer. LIC's embedded value, which is a measure of the consolidated shareholders' value in an insurance company, was pegged at about Rs 5.4 lakh crore as of September 30, 2021, by international actuarial firm Milliman Advisors.
Based on investor feedback, the market value of government-owned LIC has been pegged at 1.1 times its embedded value or Rs 6 lakh crore. "Norms are not there for exceptional cases like LIC. Despite a huge reduction to 3.5 percent (from 5 percent), it (IPO) is still the largest. Norms take care of only the normal. LIC is not normal," Malhotra said. | https://www.cnbctv18.com/market/finmin-sebi-to-take-call-on-relaxation-in-lic-meeting-minimum-public-holding-norm-dipam-secy-13329022.htm/amp | 2022-04-29T11:21:56Z | https://www.cnbctv18.com/market/finmin-sebi-to-take-call-on-relaxation-in-lic-meeting-minimum-public-holding-norm-dipam-secy-13329022.htm/amp | true | 4 |
Four in 10 Britons buy less food due to cost of living
Around four in 10 people have said they bought less food during the past two weeks due to the rising cost of living.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) found that 39% of adults said they trimmed back their grocery shops, rising from 34% a fortnight ago and 18% at the start of the year.
It is one of a handful of statistics in the ONS’s latest social impacts survey showing growing concerns over pressure on household finances.
The figures also revealed that 91% of British adults reported their cost of living had increased, up from 88% earlier this month.
The ONS said the most common reason was higher food prices, with 92% of people saying their grocery bill had increased.
Earlier this week, data from Kantar showed that grocery price inflation hit 5.9% in April – an 11-year high.
Overall Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation jumped to 7% last month, and analysts have predicted it could have hit more than 8% in April due to the impact of higher energy bills this month.
Around 40% of people who pay energy bills said they “found it very or somewhat difficult to afford them” in the survey.
The proportion of adults who think they will not be able to save any money in the next 12 months has also increased.
The ONS said 42% of people said they were unable to save, up from 34% in November.
The data also highlighted an increased difficulty for people to buy fuel over the past two weeks.
Around 20% of people said they were “unable to buy fuel” – a sharp increase from 8% earlier this month.
The number of people struggling with food and medicine product shortages remained flat for the latest two-week period. | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/four-10-britons-buy-less-093255703.html?src=rss | 2022-04-29T11:22:15Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/four-10-britons-buy-less-093255703.html?src=rss | true | 9 |
Ozark season four, part two is upon us, and we're ready for more nail-biting action. The second instalment of series four dropped today [Friday 29th April] and fans are already sharing the same reaction to one particular character. *Spoilers ahead*.
The new episodes pick back up with the Byrde family, where we see them dealing with the chaos of Ruth's (Julia Garner) rampage which saw her fatally shooting Javi (Alfonso Herrera) in the chest. In part two, Marty (Jason Bateman) now appears to feel bad for Ruth and is tired of having blood on his hands. Wendy (Laura Linney), meanwhile, wants to continue with her plans to get the family out of their mess without any consequences for them.
As the series goes on, we see Wendy taking charge with more elaborate schemes - and fans are all very much in agreement about the character.
Reacting to the latest episodes on Twitter, one viewer wrote, "Wendy Byrde is the most psychotic character I’ve ever seen." Meanwhile, another agreed, joking that "the four scariest characters on Ozark" were in fact all Wendy. Yikes.
A third agreed that Wendy is, erm, basically terrifying, also calling for actor Laura Linney to receive *all* the awards for her performance. "Wendy really scares the s**t out of me lmaooo," they wrote, adding, "Run Laura Linney that Emmy #Ozark."
Meanwhile, others are less than fans of Wendy, with viewers calling for her to be killed in the series. One tweeted, "I genuinely want someone to kill Wendy Byrde!" So, yeah, safe to say viewers feel very strongly about the whole thing.
Ozark is streaming on Netflix now. | https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/entertainment/a39858157/ozark-season-4-part-2-viewers-same-reaction-character/ | 2022-04-29T11:27:42Z | https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/entertainment/a39858157/ozark-season-4-part-2-viewers-same-reaction-character/ | false | 1 |

Editor,
With respect to the article “Plan documents benefits and challenges of urban forest,” (Tracy Press, April 22), it is imperative that The City of Tracy consider diversifying our urban forest as we plan to expand our urban ecosystem. Allergy symptoms have been on the rise and urban forests are partly to blame due to city tree selections.
As a Tracy resident and a mother of three, I urge the City of Tracy to conscientiously select tree species with resident health in mind. Even with a strict medication regime and lifestyle changes during allergy season, my children continue to have severe allergic reactions followed by eczema and asthma exacerbations. These experiences are shared by many of my fellow Tracy families as one in four children in San Joaquin County has asthma. The air quality in San Joaquin County has been ranked as some of the nation’s worst air.
Urban forest planning gives our community a wonderful opportunity to mitigate air pollution and reduce allergens by planting low allergen tree species. Urban forest planners tend to favor male trees because city maintenance is convenient. However, male trees tend to produce pollen in abundance. Whereas female trees trap and remove large amounts of pollen. It is essential to primarily add female trees to our urban forestry plan.
We need to urge our officials to carefully select our urban forest species as these landscape designs influence our community’s health now and for generations to come. Our urban forest should increase plant biodiversity and species with low pollen production. The plan to expand our urban forest gives us an opportunity to create an ecosystem that is beneficial to the Tracy community.

AstraZeneca plans new Alexion HQ, R&D site in Cambridge, Massachusetts
AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:AZN) said it plans to open a new site in Cambridge, Massachusetts that will be a strategic R&D center for the company and also serve as Alexion’s new corporate headquarters.
The announcement comes on the heels of the company's Q1 earnings. However, AZN shares are trading lower premarket despite Q1 revenue rising on the back of its oncology business and better than expected COVID-19 vaccine sales, which is expected to decline as the year goes on.
The British pharma giant had completed the acquisition of rare disease drugmaker Alexion in July 2021 in a cash and stock deal worth $39B.
AstraZeneca (AZN) said, which is scheduled for completion in 2026, will bring together ~1.5K R&D, commercial and corporate colleagues into a single purpose-built space in Kendall Square, Cambridge.
The company added that the move reinforces its commitment to the greater Boston area, with over 570K square feet of R&D and commercial space, and space for expansion in the future.
AstraZeneca (AZN) noted that it is working with Boston Properties (BXP) on development of the new site.
“Kendall Square, Cambridge, is at the heart of the life sciences and innovation hub of the greater Boston area, and our new site will put us right at the centre of this space," said AstraZeneca (AZN) CEO Pascal Soriot.

Today, former president Donald Trump is headed to Nebraska, where he is slated to appear at a rally with Republican gubernatorial hopeful Charles Herbster, a longtime political ally who has been accused of sexually assaulting several women. Trump’s appearance with Herbert underscores the risky play Trump is making by trying to be a kingmaker in GOP primaries. Herbert is only one of several Trump-endorsed candidates in close primaries on the ballot next month.
In Washington, President Biden plans a phone call with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Migration, an issue Republicans are trying to elevate in the November midterms, is expected to be high on the agenda. Biden also plans to meet with inspectors general of federal agencies.

On our radar: Migration an expected topic between Biden, Mexican president
Return to menuMigration is expected to be high on the agenda Friday afternoon when Biden has a call with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
The White House has advertised a 1 p.m. phone call between the two leaders. It comes as Biden administration officials have been making plans for an expected upsurge in illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border when pandemic-era emergency restrictions expire.
Already, authorities made more than 220,000 immigration arrests last month, the highest level in at least two decades.
Republicans have tried to turn the border into a marquee issue for the upcoming November midterms.
According to the White House, Biden and López Obrador will also discuss the upcoming ninth Summit of the Americas, which brings together leaders from the countries of North, South and Central America, as well as the Caribbean. It is scheduled for June in Los Angeles.
The phone call is closed to the media. The only public event on Biden’s schedule Friday is a meeting with inspectors general from federal agencies.
On our radar: Trump rally in Nebraska underscores test of kingmaker status

Trump’s planned rally in Nebraska on Friday night with Republican gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster underscores what’s at stake for the former president in a slew of GOP primary elections in which he’s offered endorsements.
Herbster, who has been accused of sexually assaulting several women, including a Republican Nebraska state senator, is in a close race in which he faces University of Nebraska regent Jim Pillen and state Sen. Brett Lindstrom.
As The Post’s Aaron Blake noted this week, a handful of GOP primaries next month in which Trump is playing a role will test his kingmaker status. Nebraska is only one of several races where Trump’s preferred candidate is not guaranteed victory.
After news broke this month of the allegations against Herbster, Trump did not waver in his support.
Eight women accused Herbster of touching them inappropriately, according to a report published by the Nebraska Examiner. Although seven of the women spoke on the condition of anonymity, the state senator, Julie Slama, went on the record and said Herbster reached up her skirt and touched her inappropriately during an event in 2019.
On Thursday, Herbster posted video on Twitter from the rally site in Greenwood, Neb., where he said his “good friend” will be appearing Friday.
“Thank you, President Donald J. Trump,” Herbster said.
This just in: Trump officials muzzled CDC on church covid guidance, emails show
Return to menuTrump White House officials in May 2020 overrode public health advice urging churches to consider virtual religious services as the coronavirus spread, delivering a messaging change sought by the president’s supporters, according to emails from former top officials released by a House panel on Friday.
The revelations are the latest about questionable pandemic management to come from a House select subcommittee on the coronavirus chaired by Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.), who said the Trump officials actions were part of a “disturbing” pattern of trying to “muzzle” public health officials. Clyburn’s panel is holding a hearing Friday morning.
The Post’s Dan Diamond reports that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent its planned public health guidance for religious communities to the White House on May 21, 2020, seeking approval to publish it. Dan writes:
The agency had days earlier released reports saying that the virus had killed three and infected dozens at church events in Arkansas and infected 87 percent of attendees at a choir practice in Washington state, and health experts had warned that houses of worship had become hot spots for virus transmission.But Trump officials wrote that they were frustrated by “problematic” advice the CDC had already posted, such as recommendations that houses of worship consider conducting virtual or drive-in religious services, according to emails released Friday by the House select subcommittee on the coronavirus crisis. A White House lawyer rewrote the CDC’s guidance to remove “all the tele-church suggestions,” according to an email obtained by the panel. The guidance subsequently published by the agency did not include any recommendations about offering virtual or drive-in options for religious services, clergy visits, youth group meetings and other traditionally in-person gatherings.

On our radar: A remarkable drift away from NATO by the GOP
Return to menuThis month, when a bill expressing support of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization during the Russian invasion of Ukraine came to the House floor, 63 Republicans — more than 30 percent of the party’s conference — voted against it.
The Post’s Ashley Parker, Marianna Sotomayor and Isaac Stanley-Becker report that the vote underscores the Republican Party’s remarkable drift away from NATO in recent years, as positions once considered part of a libertarian fringe have become doctrine for a growing portion of the party. Per Ashley, Marianna and Isaac:
The isolationist posture of some Republicans is in line with the “America First” ethos of Trump, the GOP’s de facto leader, who has long railed against NATO.Last week, speaking at a Heritage Foundation event in Florida, Trump implied that as president he had threatened not to defend NATO allies from Russian attacks as a negotiating tactic to pressure them to contribute more money toward the organization’s shared defense.

Analysis: The latest in the Joe Manchin party-switch saga
Return to menuTalk about whether Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) might one day switch parties seems to ebb and flow in Washington. The topic returned this week with more reporting from a forthcoming book by a pair of New York Times reporters that Manchin had dinner with some Senate Republicans in early 2021.
Manchin wound up dismissing the idea of a party switch, saying he didn’t want to put Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in control of the now evenly divided chamber, according to the book by Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin. Manchin has since sought to portray the conversation as more lighthearted than serious.
The Post’s Aaron Blake writes that, whatever the level of seriousness, the episode should make Democrats a little wary, given that Manchin seems to have not shut down the idea of a switch completely. Aaron writes:
Manchin would be silly not to entertain this in some way, because it gives him leverage over a party whose activists have tried to turn him into Public Enemy No. 1 in thwarting President Biden’s and the left’s agenda. (Those people would do well to understand how much they need Manchin, rather than vice versa.) In this position, the prospect of being rewarded by his new party might be appealing — not to say difficult, and perhaps unwise, to definitively shut down. And the ability to switch parties also gives him a path forward if he starts to worry about losing reelection as a Democrat in a state that went for Donald Trump by nearly 40 points.

CHELSIO WIDENS SMARTNIC LEADERSHIP WITH PIONEERING 7TH GENERATION UNIFIED WIRE
T7 DPU Family Accelerates a Wide Range of Storage, Networking, and Security workloads Supported by Modern Storage, Enterprise, and Cloud Applications
SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Chelsio Communications, Inc., a leading provider of high performance (1/2.5/10/25/40/50/100/200/400Gb) Ethernet Unified Wire Adapters and ASICs for storage networking, virtualized enterprise datacenters, cloud service installations, and cluster computing environments, today introduced its new 7th generation Unified Wire DPU product family architected to support and accelerate a wide range of networking, storage and security workloads supported by modern enterprise and cloud datacenter applications.
The dramatic migration to hybrid clouds, multifaceted security requirements, and proliferation of modern applications, such as artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), have accelerated the demand for highly efficient programmable data-centric processing and storage architectures. By combining high-performance and low-power compute with industry-leading seventh-generation data-path acceleration, the Chelsio T7 DPU family provides a significant ROI benefit through addressing inefficiencies due to overprovisioning of data center compute, networking, and storage resources.
Offering four times the bandwidth compared to previous generations of Unified Wire, the T7 DPU family incorporates up to eight Arm Cortex A72 cores for out-of-the-box support of embedded applications for control path processing, seventh generation Very Large Instruction Word (VLIW) processor for storage, networking, and security protocol processing at up to 400Gb, using 56Gb PAM4 SerDes. It also integrates PCIe 5.0 x16 with the ability to be either Root Complex and/or End Point, a PCIe switch and an Ethernet switch. The Arm cores are primarily intended for use by the user since the embedded 400Gb core and multiple RISC engines will handle the standard protocol processing and offload activities. As such, the T7 DPU provides a considerably higher level of functionality at a lower power dissipation than traditional DPUs that are only based on embedded RISC cores.
T7 DPU supports all the host software of its predecessors, T5 & T6, as-is, thus enabling customers to leverage all prior software investment. It also supports all the features of T5 & T6, and, in addition, adds hardware-based acceleration for RoCEv2, compression, dedupe, erasure coding, root of trust, as well as a variety of other features. With the single chip iWARP/RoCEv2 implementation that can handle high capacity all-to-all traffic for large clusters, T7 is expected to provide a solid fabric replacement for InfiniBand for GPU clusters or HPC installations. The scalability of Chelsio's T7 DPU architecture will continue to meet the upcoming speeds of Ethernet and future generations of Terminator, and thus the portability and preservation of the software investment are both assured.
T7 has evolved the Terminator architecture to enable the full suite of offloads using the host memory with high capacity while caching a subset of the connections in hardware, and as such removes the need for card memories, thus enabling the single chip server/cloud side instantiations of T7 to run the exact same software as the target/appliance side of the wire with high capacity. The unique data-flow architecture of the T7 DPU further allows adjusting the clock rates to match the power dissipation to the required workload.
With T7 DPU, Chelsio also enters the computational storage market where on-the-fly compression and encryption increases the effective density of SSD drives. In addition, the native NVMe-NVMe and NVMe-Ethernet bridging function capabilities enable support for a single chip solution to support a full suite of storage protocols such as RAID along with the standard networking functions.
T7 further provides a native ability to integrate seamlessly with FPGAs, and thus provides a flexible platform where an arbitrary task can be decomposed to its parts and run on the offload engines, VLIW engine, FPGA, Arm cores, embedded RISC engines or the host drivers.
"T7 has several confirmed OEM wins already in the cloud, storage, server space, and represents a quantum jump in the level of functionality of our products and provides a generalized solution that can fully address the challenges of efficient data processing and movement across cloud to storage with the confidence of having several generations of offload products in production," stated Kianoosh Naghshineh, CEO at Chelsio Communications. "T7 ASIC now addresses the Smart NIC, D7 ASIC addresses Computational Storage, and S7 ASIC addresses generic server markets. T7 DPU thus significantly expands Chelsio's total addressable market and provides a platform and tools to enable Chelsio's software and solution partners to address several verticals. This collaboration to bring value added products to market together with our software and solution partners is something that we remain very committed to."
"Robust cutting-edge cloud applications require a new underlying data center infrastructure," said Greg Schulz, Sr. Analyst Server StorageIO. "Chelsio T7 DPU is a new type of I/O processor optimized to process data-centric workloads offloading server CPU overhead of software-defined networking, storage, security and other cloud-native services while boosting application performance."

Reality check: Colorado's new preschool program faces obstacles
Colorado leaders are celebrating a new law signed this week to create "free, universal preschool," saying it will provide quality learning opportunities and help to get parents back to work.
Reality check: That's a long shot, at best.
What to know: Four other states with government-funded preschool programs — including someones operating for decades — never reached universal enrollment, fell short of meeting quality benchmarks and struggled to find qualified teachers.
Why it matters: The findings — from our education reporting partners at Chalkbeat — outline important caveats in the election-year claims from Democratic lawmakers and education leaders behind the new system launching in 2023.
Details: The most significant limitation is Colorado's plan to offer just 10 hours of schooling a week — or two hours a day — because such part-day programs don't work for many families.
- "The half-day format is a nightmare for at least a third of all the parents we surveyed," said Beth Graue, director of the Center for Research on Early Childhood Education at the University of Wisconsin Madison.
- In Wisconsin, which started its program four decades ago with 10 to 12 hours a week, 70% of 4- year-olds attend and the state met just three of 10 national quality benchmarks.
Of note: The program in Colorado isn't free, either. It's being paid for by taxpayers.

Chinese Man Arrested for Blocking Minister from Inspecting Working Conditions of Employees at Factory
- A Chinese man has been arrested after an unannounced visit by Uganda's Gender, Labour and Social Development Minister to the Mbalala and Namanve industrial parks
- The unnamed man was handcuffed after he blocked the minister from accessing some departments at the Sunbelt industries
- When the minister gained access to the pump and steel section, she found that employees worked under poor hygienic conditions
Pay attention: Become TUKO.co.ke ambassador – get a branded T-shirt, hoodie or water bottle at our TUKO Shop!
A Chinese national has been arrested in Uganda for allegedly stopping the Gender, Labour and Social Development Minister, Betty Amongi from inspecting a recycling plant.
Amongi had visited the Sunbelt industries to check on the working conditions of employees at the company which recycles aluminium oxide.
Denied access to pump and steel section
The Monitor reports that the minister had visited the Mbalala and Namanve industrial parks to do a routine inspection.
PAY ATTENTION: Don't miss trending Kenyan news. Follow TUKO.co.ke on Twitter!
When she got to Sunbelt industries, the Chinese national stood in her way of accessing some sections of the factory because she, supposedly, didn’t have an invitation.
It was at that point that the minister’s security detail handcuffed the Chinese man and took him to the nearby police station.
Details indicate that when she gained entry to the pump and steel section, she found poor hygienic conditions.
No headgear, no sanitary facilities
The inspection unearthed that over 80 women out of the 100 who are employed by the company do not have access to clean sanitary facilities.
This is because they not only use a pit latrine which is almost filled to capacity and emits a heavy smell, but the verandah, too, has pools of stagnant dirty water.
At the time of visiting the plant, the workers did not have protective gear like gloves and boots and were found without headgear despite operating machines.
This is against the backdrop of being in close proximity to machines which produce intense heat and deafening sounds that can inflict physical injuries on them.
Managing director went missing
In the wake of the arrest, the managing director has not been at the site, and efforts to reach him have been futile.
Amongi lamented the fact that most of the workers risk their lives at the factory yet they do not have contracts and are prone to challenges with treatment and compensation in the event of injuries.
“All the legal necessary requirements the worker must have are supposed to be adhered to by all the companies and factories," she said.
She added that the ministry has notified the companies going against the legal framework to clean up their act or face penalties, which could include closure.

Eden Project North: Boris Johnson promises funding for project
- Published
Funding for the Eden Project North will be made available as long as a "proper business case" is submitted to the government, Boris Johnson has said.
The prime minister said Whitehall is going to "go ahead and support" the £125m project in Morecambe, Lancashire.
Bosses behind the eco-tourist attraction want to submit a bid for £50m to the Levelling Up Fund by July.
Morecambe MP David Morris said the Mr Johnson's words were "very encouraging".
Lancaster City Council approved plans for the project, which promises a combination of education, entertainment and ecology, in January.
The construction will include three giant seafront shell-shaped pavilions on the town's seafront.
Mr Johnson told BBC Radio Lancashire he had raised funding for the venture directly with Chancellor Rishi Sunak.
"We are going to make the funding available but we still need to see the proper business case," he said.
Morecambe MP David Morris said: "I don't think anything is a done deal in government.
"But when you have the prime minister saying that he is positive it is going to happen, you can't get more of an endorsement than that; that the government are going to look favourably on it providing every box is ticked."
The Conservative MP said work on the project could start by the end of the year.
The remainder of the cost will come from already-identified private and philanthropic funding sources, a spokesman has previously said.

It was 2006 and I just started my first year at Thomas Bennett. I remember being daunted by the fact that I was one of the youngest in the whole school. The visit from the Queen gave me a sense of pride that I joined a school that has been recognised by a member of The Royal Family.
To officially open the newly built secondary school, the Queen toured with her late husband Prince Philip the school grounds and met both staff and students. The Queen ended her visit with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to meet the Queen in person but I do remember waiting in the school grounds and waving her off as she left the school. I did get a glimpse of Her Majesty in her Royal carriage, even if it was only slightly.
It was a great day and gave me memories I will never forget. Do you have any memories of the same day? Or have you met Her Majesty at another time?

The Department of Veterans Affairs has clarified that two outages at Cerner’s electronic health records system earlier this week affected all federal government customers using the platform.
In a statement to FedScoop, a spokesperson for the department said a first incident on Monday lasted for 127 minutes, and that a second incident on Tuesday occurred for a total of 355 minutes.
During the downtime, users across the Department of Defense and Coast Guard as well as clinicians at VA centers were unable to access patient records through the system.
The outage on Tuesday occurred as lawmakers at a congressional hearing grilled VA technology leaders and Cerner executives over the future of the electronic health records systems. Cerner and the department are preparing this weekend to continue a previously delayed rollout of the EHR system to a third location at a medical center in Columbus, Ohio.
VA and Cerner define a system outage as an “unscheduled system event where the entire EHR solution becomes unavailable to users and/or downtime procedures are implemented.”
During the hearing, witnesses confirmed to lawmakers that outages had affected the VA’s Jonathan M. Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center in Walla Walla, Washington.
VA Deputy Chief Information Officer for Electronic Health Record Modernization Laura Prietula said: “There was an outage today at Walla Walla … and an outage yesterday for 127 minutes due to load imbalance.”
According to the VA, all systems are now up and running, and Cerner is carrying out an analysis to determine what caused the issue.
According to the VA, a performance degradation occurs when “all EHR systems and applications are available, but users experience the system as ‘run slow’ (when compared to the baseline performance).”
The spokesperson added: “VA takes any instance of EHR degraded service seriously. No patient safety issues have been reported, to date, because of these two incidents.
The department “has protocols in place that allow providers to continue administering safe and effective care during downtime,” the spokesperson said. | https://www.fedscoop.com/va-clarifies-scope-of-latest-electronic-health-records-outages/ | 2022-04-29T12:13:15Z | https://www.fedscoop.com/va-clarifies-scope-of-latest-electronic-health-records-outages/ | true | 1 |

Heat wave scorches India's wheat crop, snags export plans
An unusually early, record-shattering heat wave in India has reduced wheat yields, raising questions about how the country will balance its domestic needs with ambitions to increase exports and make up for shortfalls due to Russia's war in Ukraine.
Gigantic landfills in India's capital New Delhi have caught fire in recent weeks. Schools in eastern Indian state Odisha have been shut for a week and in neighboring West Bengal, schools are stocking up on oral rehydration salts for kids. On Tuesday, Rajgarh, a city of over 1.5 million people in central India, was the country's hottest, with daytime temperatures peaking at 46.5 degrees Celsius (114.08 Fahrenheit). Temperatures breached the 45 C (113 F) mark in nine other cities.
But it was the heat in March—the hottest in India since records first started being kept in 1901—that stunted crops. Wheat is very sensitive to heat, especially during the final stage when its kernels mature and ripen. Indian farmers time their planting so that this stage coincides with India's usually cooler spring.
Climate change has made India's heat wave hotter, said Friederike Otto, a climate scientist at the Imperial College of London. She said that before human activities increased global temperatures, heat waves like this year's would have struck India once in about half a century.
"But now it is a much more common event—we can expect such high temperatures about once in every four years," she said.
India's vulnerability to extreme heat increased 15% from 1990 to 2019, according to a 2021 report by the medical journal The Lancet. It is among the top five countries where vulnerable people, like the old and the poor, have the highest exposure to heat. It and Brazil have the the highest heat-related mortality in the world, the report said.
Farm workers like Baldev Singh are among the most vulnerable. Singh, a farmer in Sangrur in northern India's Punjab state, watched his crop shrivel before his eyes as an usually cool spring quickly shifted to unrelenting heat. He lost about a fifth of his yield. Others lost more.
"I am afraid the worst is yet to come," Singh said.
Punjab is India's "grain bowl" and the government has encouraged cultivation of wheat and rice here since the 1960s. It is typically the biggest contributor to India's national reserves and the government had hoped to buy about a third of this year's stock from the region. But government assessments predict lower yields this year, and Devinder Sharma, an agriculture policy expert in northern Chandigarh city. said he expected to get 25% less.
The story is the same in other major wheat-producing states like Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
Overall, India purchased over 43 million metric tons (47.3 million U.S. tons) of wheat in 2021. Sharma estimates it will instead get 20% to nearly 50% less.
Even though it is the world's second-largest producer of wheat, India exports only a small fraction of its harvest. It had been looking to capitalize on the global disruption to wheat supplies from Russia's war in Ukraine and find new markets for its wheat in Europe, Africa, and Asia.
That looks uncertain given the tricky balance the government must maintain between demand and supply. It needs about 25 million tons (27.5 million U.S. tons) of wheat for the vast food welfare program that usually feeds more than 80 million people.
Before the pandemic, India had vast stocks that far exceeded its domestic needs—a buffer against the risk of famine.
Those reserves have been strained, Sharma said, by distribution of free grain during the pandemic to about 800 million people—vulnerable groups like migrant workers. The program was extended until September but it's unclear if it will continue beyond then.
"We are no longer with that kind of a surplus . . . with exports now picking up, there would be a lot of pressure on the domestic availability of wheat," Sharma said.
India's federal agriculture and commerce ministries didn't respond to questions sent to them via email.
Beyond India, other countries are also grappling with poor harvests that hinder their ability to help offset the potential shortfall of supplies from Russia and Ukraine, normally the world's largest and fifth-largest exporters of wheat.
China's agriculture minister, Tang Renjian, said last month that the winter wheat harvest was likely to be poor, hindered by flooding and by delays in planting.

Rock drummer Travis Barker visited the grave of Kourtney Kardashian's late father to ask his permission to marry her, it has been revealed.
The tattooed Blink-182 star initially popped the question to Kourtney while on the beach in California in October last year following a whirlwind romance, presenting the mum-of-three with a huge diamond ring.
The pair then went on to exchange vows at the One Love Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas earlier this month, with an Elvis Presley impersonator called in to officiate the ceremony.
But, given that it all took place in the early hours of the morning - not long after the drummer had performed at the Grammys - they weren't able to sort out the necessary licence in time to make the union official.
Nevertheless, before the couple said "I do", Barker decided to go the extra mile and seek approval from Robert Kardashian Sr, who died of cancer almost 20 years ago.
The late lawyer, who became famous during his career thanks to his involvement in the sensational OJ Simpson murder trial of the '90s, was aged 59 when he passed away in September 2003.
Barker's touching gesture - visiting the cemetery where he's buried - was revealed on this week's instalment of reality TV show The Kardashians, courtesy of Kris Jenner.
She admitted to having been genuinely moved by her future son-in-law's actions.
"He asked me for her hand in marriage, and I was like, literally, I want to cry now," Jenner told daughter Kim Kardashian during the episode.
"It was so sweet and so tender. And then he said he went to your dad's grave and asked your dad (for permission), and I just lost it."
"It's all happy, I just wish your dad was here to see it," Jenner added.
Kourtney used to date her ex Scott Disick, with whom she shares her three children -Mason, Reign and Penelope.
Barker, on the other hand, has been married twice, firstly to Melissa Kennedy whom he divorced back in 2002.
He was also married to Shanna Moakler in 2004, but filed for divorce after only two years together.
It wasn't until 2008 that their divorce was finalised.
The couple have reportedly told pals they do not want a lot of fuss when they finally get spliced for real.
A source told People magazine: "They don't want a big wedding.
"They want an intimate ceremony and party for family and close friends. Kourtney's family wants to be a part of it."

In my neighborhood of Astoria in Queens, N.Y., there's a Dave's for almost everything, from Dave's Shoes to Dave's Cabinets. It's a brand that camouflages itself into any local landscape — reliable but nearly invisible. And for the past few years, there's been a new Dave in town: Dave's Lesbian Bar, a pop-up event series that I've been involved with as a volunteer and a worker.
Dave's Lesbian Bar is a monthly pop-up event started by Kristin Dausch — also known as "Dave" — a Midwest transplant who landed in New York in 2009 and began working as a nanny while moonlighting as a singer, songwriter and performer. After taking stock of the community they'd built over three years of co-hosting the long-running local open mic program "Show N' Tell," as well as the emerging network of neighborhood mutual aid organizations that cropped up during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dausch started to dream big. Given the steady closure of lesbian bars across the country, documented by the preservation campaign The Lesbian Bar Project, they began to dream of building a queer-led bar and music venue in the neighborhood that functioned as a mutual aid hub during the day.
"It started out being my dream, wanting to make music every night and help the community every day," Dausch says. "And when everybody else is like, 'Yeah that's also my dream,' you realize we've all been thinking [about] the same thing — just a space to get together and try to make something new, try to build a world that doesn't look like the one we have now."
Undeterred by the difficulties of opening a venue in New York City, Dausch and a small group of collaborators fleshed out the Dave's concept and put together a fundraising model based around a series of pop-ups in different locations around Astoria. They knew there was much to learn about owning and operating a space, but at least they could get their feet wet by throwing a killer queer party once a month. Space was still a question, but the pandemic had given rise to a new network of "Open Streets," a city-sanctioned program turning commercial corridors into alternative use zones.
With a borrowed sound system and a kiddie pool doubling as a cooler, the first Dave's Lesbian Bar event launched in earnest on 31st Avenue, July 21, 2021, showcasing queer bands, offering haircuts and tattoos, and collecting food and clothes for the Astoria Food Pantry. The response was overwhelming. "We knew we wanted to do this and we had to try. It was happening even if only a handful of people came out," Dausch recalls. "But then 700 people showed up."
Since that inaugural event, Dave's has popped up in different places every month, evolving and growing a little bit with each party. At the "Heartbreaker's Ball" in February, attendees could get glammed out on-site with manicures, make-up and massages all provided by queer vendors, with a portion of the evening's proceeds going to the Queen's Center for Gay Seniors. Most recently, April featured "GROW," an Earth Day-themed block party with composting classes, a community clothing swap and more.
At the core of each event remains a focus on live music and mutual aid, and a communal energy that underlines both of those experiences. The fundraising alternates monthly between exclusively for the bar project and then sharing proceeds with different neighborhood initiatives including the Astoria Food Pantry and the Queens Community House. And you can always count on ten very gay bands and a raucous crowd where, to borrow a Dave's descriptor, "everyone is cute and everyone is nice." To date, Dave's has raised just north of $70,000 of their $100,000 goal for a future physical bar space, and almost $15,000 for various community causes.
Dave's fulfills a need for dedicated community spaces in New York City where queer people feel comfortable, safe and considered. But the events also support the organic development of a focused and supportive regional music scene. While the internet has democratized music-making and given rise to new, vibrant communities online, the support system of a strong regional scene has waned in the aftermath of shuttered venues across the city in the last decade, including the SideWalk Cafe and Death By Audio.
At Dave's, the energy around the bands is palpable and positive, with past performances from groups including shoegaze rockers like THEMME, power-punk duo Daisy Grenade and math rock group Rest Ashore. Dausch is a shrewd curator with excellent ears and each pop-up features a diversity of styles on the bill — from the coffeehouse to the blues bar to the rock club — but there is something ineffable, beyond genre, that binds the whole event together.
"For me, the beautiful thing is watching the different musicians — they become friends as they share the bill," remarks Sarose Klein, one of the primary producers behind the pop-ups. "They start to share members and introduce each other to venue owners, engineers and studios that are safe and nonexploitative of the queer community."

Last week, we
looked at an old-school CEO who doesn’t seem to “get” remote work. This week we’ve got just the opposite: A CEO who grasps exactly why people want to work remote. He even shows evidence of possessing that quality that’s become a buzzword these days: Empathy.
Stuart Butterfield, founder and CEO of Slack, now part of Salesforce,
told CNBC this week that his experience of the pandemic showed him why working from home made for a better work-life balance. He’s quoted as saying, “For me, personally, I have an 11-month-old, and there was no ‘I’ve got to get the 6:08 train to get home’ ... and I would not trade that for anything.”
So how do you keep remote workers connected? In his conversation with CNBC, Butterfield talked up a Slack feature called
Huddle, an audio-only feature that teams can use for quick access to ad hoc conversations among group members. Butterfield told CNBC it has become Slack’s fastest-growing feature ever, and he touted its flexibility compared with set time slots for 30- or 60-minute calls.
Of course, you can do something like this using the existing collaboration platforms and meeting structure. Last year I
wrote about how Enterprise Connect’s event operations team created something that sounds a bit like Slack Huddle simply by scheduling a four-hour Microsoft Teams call on a day just before a critical deadline. The idea was that by keeping the call open, team members could be doing their heads-down work and shouting out to each other when they needed or wanted the interaction.
A feature like Huddle refines this idea. Your schedule doesn't have to be blocked off during the time you want to be continually accessible to your team members. And audio-only keeps people from having to worry about being video-ready for those brief, ad hoc interactions.
The point here isn’t that Huddle solves the problem of making remote work more collaborative, dynamic, or productive. It’s a feature that, apparently, many Slack users have found promising as one tool for achieving some of these objectives, some of the time.
But incremental improvements that make remote collaboration more effective can only benefit enterprises in ways that go beyond making life better for home-based workers.
Every enterprise relies on remote work. Different teams, organizations, and partners are scattered all over the world, and this was true long before the pandemic. Finding better ways for distributed workers to collaborate is what's behind much of the drive for the convergence of UCaaS and CCaaS. By definition, contact center agents aren't going to be located in the same place as the frontline workers or subject matter experts who are increasingly being seen as key parts of an improved customer experience.
We’ve already got a largely digital-native workforce. As time goes by, more of the workforce will be remote-native — i.e., they’ll never have worked in an office, or at least they won’t be Dunder-Mifflin-esque creatures of the office. They’ll have different expectations for the way you build connections and social capital with people you rarely, if ever, see in person.
One of Butterfield’s most perceptive points to CNBC was a suggestion that middle managers be better trained on “soft” skills for the new reality of hybrid work. Collaboration technology combined with empathetic management can meet enterprise needs better than back-to-office edicts. | https://www.nojitter.com/unified-communications-collaboration/preparing-remote-native-workers | 2022-04-29T12:22:26Z | https://www.nojitter.com/unified-communications-collaboration/preparing-remote-native-workers | false | 1 |

Show me where polygamy is written in Bible – Fr Oluoma challenges Reno Omokri, others
Popular Catholic Priest, Fr Oluoma Chinenye John has challenged those claiming that polygamy is allowed in Christendom to point out where it is captured in the Holy Bible.
DAILY POST reports that some Christian clergymen, including a former presidential aide, Reno Omokri while reacting to the decision by a Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie to marry a second wife, had claimed that the bible supports polygamy.
Reno had in a post on his verified Facebook page, said polygamy is only forbidden for bishops, overseers and elders, insisting that “monogamy is a western construct, not a Christian one.”
Citing the old testament part of the bible, some other Nigerians have said that polygamy exists in the scripture and should not be ascribed to a sin.
But Fr Oluoma, in a counter post on his official Facebook page, argued that not part of the bible justified polygamy, insisting that monogamy has been the ideal kind of marriage instituted by God since creation.
He said, “On polygamy, there’s nowhere the Bible mentions it as a doctrine. There are polygamous marriages in the Bible, but that doesn’t mean the Bible sets it up as the ideal.
“The language of Gen 2:24 is monogamy: “This is why a man (singular) leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife (singular) and the two become one flesh” Our Lord Jesus Christ will repeat the same thing in Matt 19.
“Monogamy is taken as the ideal way of marriage from the language of Gen 2:24: “that is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united with his wife, and they become one”. The language is singular and not plural.
“Then Adam was given one wife by God. If polygamy was the ideal, God would have given Adam more than one wife, the ribs to make more women were not lacking”. | https://dailypost.ng/2022/04/29/show-me-where-polygamy-is-written-in-bible-fr-oluoma-challenges-reno-omokri-others/ | 2022-04-29T12:23:21Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/04/29/show-me-where-polygamy-is-written-in-bible-fr-oluoma-challenges-reno-omokri-others/ | false | 1 |
Saudia Cargo and Cainiao's Partnership Solidifies as the E-commerce Industry Continues to Grow During Pandemic
JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia, April 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The success of last year's cooperation agreement with Cainiao Network ("Cainiao"), the logistics arm of Alibaba Group has enabled Saudia Cargo to achieve significant growth in e-commerce shipments this year. The agreement created a thriving "sky bridge" between Asia and Europe, allowing Saudia Cargo to benefit from the opportunities arising from the growing global e-commerce market.
Cainiao joined Saudia Cargo's flight program in March 2021, linking Hong Kong SAR to Liege Belgium, via Saudia Cargo's Riyadh hub, with 12 flights operated per week. The freighter flight enables Riyadh to become the model of an effective distribution hub in the Middle East thanks to the strong partnerships that the company has forged with local players.
Vikram Vohra, Saudia Cargo's Regional Director – Asia Pacific: "The agreement has allowed us to benefit from access to Alibaba's e-commerce platform as online shopping continues to soar, boosted in part by the Covid-19 pandemic. The partnership with Cainiao, which offers logistic services to more than 200 countries, is central to our growth strategy for this decade and sets the template for future cooperation agreements. Cainiao has become a trusted and valued partner."
Dandy Zhang, Commercial Director of Global Line Haul, Cainiao's Cross-border business: "As a global smart logistics company, Cainiao has been consistently enhancing its logistics services and efficiency to satisfy the booming demand for e-commerce in Europe and Middle East. Our partnership with Saudia Cargo has been fruitful, and we look forward to strengthening our cooperation in the long term."
Saudia Cargo has increased the number of cargo flights it operates to destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America over the past few years to ensure that it continues to meet rising demand for e-commerce and deliver on Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" strategy for growth.
The company has increased its haulage capacity from last year, adding and only improving its space and tonnage capacity to haul e-commerce goods on different routes, that are cared for by highly trained personnel who ensure the safest delivery. The number of flights from the Hong Kong market grew by over 30% alone.
The pandemic revealed the urgent need for cargo services as the e-commerce sector saw a dramatic rise during the pandemic, with a forecast increase of 19% worldwide on e-commerce revenue between pre-and-post COVID-19 timeframes in 2020. Saudia Cargo announced several measures to ensure the continuity of its operations and their increase in flights was part of their services with Cainiao.
This led to not only a stronger and more satisfied partnership, but also helped showcase how effective Saudia Cargo work with their worldwide partners, guaranteeing punctual delivery. The satisfaction of Cainiao with the operations of Saudia Cargo, throughout the past year and despite the struggles of the pandemic, has proven Saudia Cargo to being a trusted and successful partner.

Shares of Ambuja Cements Limited closed 3 per cent lower at Rs 371.85 against the previous close of Rs 383.55 on Friday. Market cap of the firm fell to Rs 73,836.22 crore.
Ambuja Cements on Thursday reported a standalone net profit of Rs 495.2 crore for the quarter ended March 2022. It has posted a net profit of Rs 664.6 crore in March 2021.
Net sales came in at Rs 3,855 crore for the quarter ended March 2022 compared to Rs 3,579 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
According to Axis Securities, the company’s margins were under pressure during the quarter owing to elevated costs YoY.
"We foresee cost inflation to sustain for the next few quarters as well. However, a superior demand environment backed by higher government spending on infrastructure, affordable and low-cost housing, improved real estate demand and focus on the PLI scheme for the manufacturing sector accompanied by price hikes may reduce cost pressure to some extent moving forward," it said.
The brokerage house noted that the stock is currently trading at 17x and 14x its CY22E and CY23E EV/EBITDA. It values ACL at 13x CY23E EV/EBITDA (including Ambuja stake in ACC with no holding company discount) to arrive at target price of Rs 370 per share.
Motilal Oswal believes that Ambuja Cements would continue to gain benefits from efficiency measures such as increasing share of green energy, blended cement, alternative fuel and raw materials.
"The stock trades at 18.8x/14.8x CY22/CY23E EV/EBITDA (v/s its 10-year average one-year forward EV/EBITDA of 12.8x). We value it at 12.5x CY23E EV/EBITDA and 20% HoldCo discount for its holding in ACC to arrive at our target price of Rs 350. We maintain our Neutral rating on the stock," it added.
Prabhudas Lilladher noted that the company delivered material turnaround in earnings over last couple of years. The major contributors to this turnaround were multifold increase in volumes under MSA, optimisation of fixed costs and reduction in specific energy consumption.
"On the incremental basis, we don’t see meaningful scope for further cost reduction. Theme of capacity expansion would get delayed due to likely exit of parent. As the valuations have surged to rich territory, we downgrade rating on stock to Hold with target price of Rs 400 with EV/EBITDA of 14.5x CY23e," it added.

American killed fighting in Ukraine war, family members say
Published: Apr. 29, 2022 at 6:14 AM CDT|Updated: 1 hour ago
(Gray News) - Willy Joseph Cancel, an American fighting in Ukraine, has been killed.
Family members confirmed to CNN and other media outlets that he was killed Monday fighting alongside Ukrainians.
The former Marine, originally from New York, was 22 years old and had volunteered to go to Ukraine to join the fight against Russian invaders, family members said.
His mother, Rebecca Cabrera, told CNN that Cancel was working with a private military contracting company.
His widow, Brittany Cancel, said he leaves behind a son.

It is curious that many who persist in their belief that focused protection of the vulnerable population during the pandemic was unworkable do not find their imaginations stretched by the possibility that the same intervention might have worked at the level of the entire population.
We now know, from bitter experience, that community-wide interventions did very little to alter the natural course of the pandemic and served only to delay the inevitable in countries such as China (once hailed as a paragon of infection control) where it was possible to seal the borders at the outset. Even a cursory acquaintance with epidemiological theory would tell you that the likelihood of interrupting the spread of an epidemic through restrictions on movement is vanishingly small.
Certainly, it can slow down the spread but only if such draconian measures are implemented very strictly over the period where this might be deemed necessary. But more often than not, these interventions will have a very minor impact on the dynamics of a pathogen in its acute phase of growth while causing endemic diseases to disappear transiently. This is, of course, exactly what happened – leaving us now to deal with the perverse consequences of delaying infection with some normally harmless viruses. Focusing our efforts and resources on the clinically vulnerable population would have avoided some of the problems we now face.
It is not surprising, in this context, that the release of potentially infectious residents back into care home settings would be regarded as a serious offence. But, as very thoughtfully argued by Fraser Nelson almost a year ago, it can hardly be regarded as the sole reason that so many lives were lost to Covid-19 in those settings. As it is looking increasingly likely that the acute epidemic phase occurred before March 2020, it is far more plausible that the care homes were seeded by movements from within the general population than by the covertly infectious residents returning from hospital.
There are two lessons to be learnt here.
The first is that we should have immediately shielded care home residents upon hearing that a new virus was abroad that was killing elderly people. This could have been achieved by redistributing the residents into smaller groups where they would be cared for by live-in staff. Permitted visitors would undergo routine testing and undertake periods of self-isolation to minimise the risk of introducing infection. The specific details would have to be worked out by the experts in the field (indeed, I feel somewhat impertinent even making these suggestions) but it cannot have been harder than locking down the whole population and would certainly be achieved at a fraction of the cost.
It is not locking down earlier that would have saved lives but rather instituting focused protection immediately that could have averted deaths associated with Covid-19.
The second lesson is that it is fruitless to trace the source of infection to a single event. Ironically, Matt Hancock’s message of “Don’t Kill Your Granny” did just that. It concentrated the blame that should have been dispersed within the community upon an individual. In our normal lives, many die of infectious disease but we collectively absorb the guilt of infecting them. We could not function as a society otherwise.
Perhaps Mr Hancock is not entirely to blame for the care home crisis, but I will never forgive him for striking fear in the hearts of the innocent with this utterance.

SA Rugby reports surplus and confirms re-election of Mark Alexander as president
SA Rugby has reported a surplus of R8.9m and also announced that Mark Alexander has been re-elected as the organisation’s president.
SA Rugby said its annual financial statements were approved at the Saru annual general meeting in Cape Town on April 29 and the surplus was ensured by the Springboks’ return to the playing field in 2021.
One of the highlights from the AGM was the acceptance of constitutional changes to admit Limpopo as a member of Saru to become the 15th member union, albeit with “development union” status.
The organisation announced the return to action allowed revenue to increase by 80% on 2020’s severely impacted levels, rising from R710m to R1.283bn, recovering almost to pre-Covid levels (R1.296bn in 2019).
Broadcast income increased from R417m in 2020 to R655m while the net income from the Castle Lager Lions Series (R107m) when added to existing sponsorship contracts (R222m) saw sponsorship income rise to R329m (R282m in 2021).
The return to rugby activity had a consequent impact on expenses with rugby costs increasing by R107m to R280m, commercial costs by R52m to R292m and image rights and insurance costs by R18m to R73m.
The improving environment allowed distributions to member unions to increase from R187m to R244m.
Even with the small surplus, SA Rugby CEO Jurie Roux said rugby business remained under severe financial pressure.
“The return to play of the Springboks and the delivery of the Castle Lager Lions Series were critical to the survival of the sport in 2021,” said Roux.
“Had we not been able to deliver those events we would have been closing rugby’s doors by year end. Having said that, the fact that the pandemic prevented the attendance of supporters at Springbok Tests and at provincial matches means the sport remains in a precarious position.
“Last year (2021) was supposed to be the year that we built up reserves from the windfall of a British & Irish Lions tour, but Covid-19 denied us that opportunity. The tour meant we were able to break even but if we are hit by an event of a similar magnitude, we have zero reserves to weather it.”
Roux thanked SA Rugby’s broadcast and commercial partners for their continued support throughout the crisis but noted Covid-19 continued to have a serious impact.
“It was gratifying to see income return to 2019 levels, but we should have been far ahead of those numbers in 2021, both from the Lions series and from increased values in renewals and without reductions that were amortised into existing agreements,” he said.
“Our provinces were only allowed to host 2,000 spectators from October and like all businesses, we have had the additional cost burden of applying Covid-19 protocols. Financial sustainability remains a pressing concern for the sport.”
Roux added that the prospects for 2022 remained positive though the game changer for the industry would be the relaxation of restrictions on venue attendance.
Alexander, who was re-elected unopposed as president, said: “This has been an extraordinary year due primarily to Covid-19, and though the threat to rugby has not diminished, we remain hopeful that the national vaccination programme will allow society and our sport to gradually return to normal.
“While we cannot yet take anything for granted, we will continue to work towards the return to vibrant grassroots activity on and off the pitches in our schools and clubs, and for the return of spectators in the professional game, which will secure the financial underpinning of rugby.”

John Troxell is feeling more at home every day at Lafayette and that’s because, in a sense, he is home.
The former Phillipsburg High and Lafayette College standout and assistant coach was hired by the Leopards in December as the new football coach. It has been a whirlwind 4 ½ months since he was announced as the successor to John Garrett — whose contract was not renewed — but Troxell is feeling good about where he’s at and where he wants to take the program.
Lafayette will wrap up its spring practice period at noon Saturday at Fisher Stadium, and Troxell is eager to see his new players finish their first practice period with a great effort.
“It’ll be fun to watch the kids and evaluate them,” Troxell said this week. “We’ve been working hard at it. The kids have been learning an entirely new offense and defense and special teams, for that matter. They’ve done a great job of trying to adapt and learn and we’ve gotten a lot better through the first 12 practices so far and I think the kids are excited.”
Troxell said that he and his newly assembled staff have been coaching the players hard and acknowledged that plenty of things need to be cleaned up, but he says he sees a path to success.
Lafayette seemed to be making progress in 2021 with a 2-1 spring record capped by a win over Lehigh and then were 3-5 overall and 2-1 in the league through October before losing the last three games.
Troxell said he inherited experience and talent on defense, led by linebackers Billy Shaeffer and Marco Olivas and defensive linemen Ian Grayson and Malik Hamm.
“It’s a senior-laden group that had a lot of success,” Troxell said. “I think Lafayette finished second in the conference in defense last year and there’s a lot to build on there. Coach Mike St. Germain has done a great job of putting in a lot of different schemes for the kids, which is going to be exciting to watch.”
Offensively, the Leopards have three players with experience at quarterback.
“We’re a little young upfront, so we have to keep improving with the O-line,” Troxell said. “But we have a couple of experienced backs returning and at wideout we have Juju [Julius] Young, Carl Smith and Joe Gillette, so the cupboard definitely isn’t bare. They are guys who have had a lot of playing time and if we can get them to understand what we’re trying to do, we can have success with all of them.”
Troxell said the defense is probably ahead of the offense, which isn’t a surprise.
“We have more experience on that side and I think it’s always easier to grasp things quicker on defense,” Troxell said. “I know we’re going to have to come back to camp in August and get better. Everybody here is like a freshman because they’re learning everything new. But in terms of what we’re doing and how we’re doing it, the kids are excited because it’s a different brand of football than what they were used to over the last couple of years.”
Troxell said that excitement and emotion are a big part of a turnaround at Lafayette. He learned that at Phillipsburg, being around legends such as Bob Stem.
“You may not be the most talented team but if you play for each other and play with emotion, you’re going to win a lot of games,” he said. “It’s amazing in this game what momentum, energy and emotion can do for you. That has always resonated so well with me growing up with the Easton-P’burg rivalry. Both of those programs love winning and hate to lose because of tradition. Emotion can take you a long way.”
Sports Buzz
Troxell is part of a new era in athletics at Lafayette as two of the most high-profile coaches will be new in 2022-23. In addition to Troxell, Mike Jordan will be in his first year with the men’s basketball program and there’s a new sense that athletics are important on College Hill.
“Our president [Dr. Nicole Hurd] is an amazing woman and a breath of fresh air here,” Troxell said. “She cares and our athletic director, Sherryta Freeman, cares and we want to make our alumni proud. I have friends who have been starving for wins and victories and they’re all excited to help and say ‘What do you need?’ and ‘How can we get there?’ When you can get not just the players and coaches to believe but also the alumni and administration, that’s a big boost in helping you win.”
Troxell assembled a quality coaching staff that has come together in a hurry and is on the same page.
“It’s fun to come to work every day,” he said. “These guys get along and make each other laugh. They work extremely hard and one thing you’ll come to see is that these guys will bring a lot of energy to the kids.
“Our coordinators, Mike St. Germain and T.J. DiMuzio, have guys working with them who have coordinator experience to help them and a lot of success at the places they have been,” he said. “They all know what it takes to win and everyone has checked their egos at the door and it’s all about what can we do together to be successful. The kids see that and follow our lead.”
Lafayette has a daunting nonleague schedule that includes Temple and William & Mary.
“We’re not worried about those games because we’re only focused on our opener on Sept. 3 against Sacred Heart,” Troxell said. “That’s going to be a big day. That’ll be the day that we can really see who we are and show the country who we are. That’s the day we’re working toward.” | https://www.mcall.com/sports/mc-lafayette-football-john-troxell-20220429-lhv2ung5ebdwhbjn2owyjiylum-story.html | 2022-04-29T12:47:29Z | https://www.mcall.com/sports/mc-lafayette-football-john-troxell-20220429-lhv2ung5ebdwhbjn2owyjiylum-story.html | true | 1 |

About this product
Blockhead is one of a few varieties we sell derived from the work of Breeder Steve at Spice of Life seeds, and we consider it his best work. The Blockhead’s mother, known as “Project 19” is somewhat mysterious, commonly thought to be a inbred stabilized hybrid partially derived from an unknown African variety. Her father is a Sweet Tooth #3, a cubed backcross derived from the British Columbia Sweet Pink Grapefruit, thought to be a selected Northern Lights cutting, and DJ Short’s highly regarded Blueberry. She is known for producing afghanica structured flowers on a tropical structured plant, possessing a high with a similarly unusual mix of wide and narrow leafed qualities. An unusual plant with seductive attractive floral and resin structures, with a high that’s all her own. The effects combine the potent and disorienting qualities of equatorial Africans with the couchlock qualities of her wide leafed ancestors. The olfactory qualities have a base of grape candy with overtones of hash, meyer lemon, and cat urine.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — Amber Heard pushed to have details of her marriage with fellow actor Johnny Depp included in an op-ed piece that she wrote about domestic violence, even though her lawyers wanted those passages removed from the article, which is now the subject of a libel lawsuit, according to evidence introduced Thursday at the trial.
Jurors in the libel lawsuit Depp filed against Heard heard testimony Thursday from Terence Dougherty, general counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. It was the ACLU that drafted the article under Heard’s name, reflecting her role as an ACLU ambassador on gender violence issues.
Dougherty testified about the push-and-pull that occurred between first draft and publication of the op-ed piece in The Washington Post in December 2018 — strategically timed by both the ACLU and Heard to coincide with the release of “Aquaman,” a movie in which she played a prominent role.
Depp sued in Fairfax County Circuit Court after the article was published, in which Heard says that “two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out.” Depp’s lawyers say that’s a clear reference to abuse allegations she levied against Depp in 2016 that Depp says are untrue.
Dougherty testified that numerous ACLU lawyers reviewed the article at various stages, and asked Heard’s lawyers to review the piece as well to ensure it did not run afoul of a non-disclosure agreement she had with Depp in connection with the couple’s 2016 divorce.
During those discussions, Heard sent back an edited version approved by her lawyers that “specifically neutered much of the copy regarding her marriage,” according to an email from Jessica Weitz, an ACLU employee who coordinated with Heard.
According to the email, though, Heard was looking for a way to have a deleted passage restored to the article.
The various drafts of the articles were not shown to the jury so it’s not clear how many personal details were in the first draft and how much Heard’s lawyers had excised.
But the final version contains very little about Heard’s personal experiences. It doesn’t mention Depp at all. In addition to the passage about “a public figure representing domestic abuse,” in another passage she writes, “I had the rare vantage point of seeing, in real time, how institutions protect men accused of abuse.”
Much of the article talks about legislative priorities for advocates of domestic abuse prevention. Other passages refer to parts of her personal life unrelated to Depp.
Dougherty testified that “the language that wound up in the final op-ed piece was very different from the original language” in the draft, Dougherty said. “It did not refer directly to Ms. Heard’s relationship with Johnny Depp.”
While the trial is supposed to be over whether Depp was defamed in the article, very little testimony in the first three weeks, leading up to Thursday, has related to the article itself or its contents. Heard’s lawyers predicted at the outset of the trial that it would become a mudslinging soap operathat would delve into messy details of Depp and Heard’s personal lives.
Heard’s lawyers, though, have said that even if the jury were to believe that she was never abused by Depp, Heard should still prevail in the lawsuit because the article is not about Depp, does not defame him, and Heard’s free-speech rights allow her to weigh in on matters of public importance like domestic violence.
Much of Dougherty’s testimony also centered on whether Heard has fulfilled a promise to donate $3.5 million — half of her $7 million divorce settlement with Depp — to the ACLU. Dougherty testified that the ACLU credits her with contributing $1.3 million so far and expected the money to come in over a 10-year period, but that she has made no contributions since 2018.
Jurors also heard briefly from Depp’s business manager, Ed White. White said he intervened in 2016 to resolve financial difficulties for Depp, including unpaid taxes and a cash crunch. When he blamed Heard for an excessive wine bill that featured multiple $500 bottles of Spanish Vega Sicilia wine, Heard’s lawyers responded with a barrage of questions over Depp’s spending excesses, including spending millions of dollars to shoot journalist Hunter S. Thompson’s ashes out of a cannon.
Depp and Heard met during filming of “The Rum Diary,” an adaptation of a Thompson novel. Depp testified earlier that he and Thompson were friends, and that Depp actually found the lost “Rum Diary” manuscript when he was going through Thompson’s papers. | https://www.wlns.com/entertainment-news/amber-heards-lawyers-revised-article-johnny-depp-sued-over/ | 2022-04-29T12:50:37Z | https://www.wlns.com/entertainment-news/amber-heards-lawyers-revised-article-johnny-depp-sued-over/ | true | 70 |
Brits travelling to Spain now face limits on how much they can drink in a crackdown on drunken behaviour.
Thomas Cook has warned holidaymakers who have booked an all-inclusive trip that an alcohol cap will be in place.
The rule will affect tourists heading to the popular holiday spots of Magaluf, Majorca and some parts of Ibiza.
The government of the Balearic Islands say they want to improve the image of the party resorts, which have a reputation for boozy behaviour.
What are the new rules?
The alcohol crackdown means that holidaymakers on all-inclusive breaks will face a six-drink-a-day alcohol limit, instead of having free-flowing drinks all day.
Tourists will now be limited to three free tipples at lunch and three with their evening meal.
Travel agent Thomas Cook alerted customers to the changes in an email update on package holidays.
The email read: “Please be advised that a decree has been issued by the Balearic Government on a new restriction for All Inclusive meal option.
"There is a maximum of six alcoholic drinks per person per day that can be served and these drinks will be provided only during lunch and dinner ( 3 each).
"Please be aware that Magalluf, El Arenal, Playa de Palma in Majorca and Sant Antoni in Ibiza, there is new restriction on All Inclusive."
The Balearic government has also put a stop to pub crawls, the sale of alcohol in shops between 9.30pm and 8am and advertising party boats in some areas.
Balearic Islands Tourism minister Iago Negueruela previously said: “We want British tourists - we don’t want this type of tourism.
"British tourism is essential for our islands. We share with the British government the view that some images of British tourists are embarrassing. We want to put a stop to bad behaviour.
"We will increase the police presence in these areas and the number of inspectors - we will have zero tolerance for tourism excesses."
Travel association ABTA has backed the alcohol limit, saying it "strongly supports" the new rules.
A spokesman said: "ABTA will continue to engage with the Balearic Islands Government, ABTA Members and other parties, to encourage clear communication and exchange of information, in order to ensure holidaymakers travelling to hotels in the designated areas enjoy a positive customer experience." | https://www.nationalworld.com/lifestyle/travel/thomas-cook-warning-brits-all-inclusive-holidays-spain-booze-crackdown-3673992 | 2022-04-29T13:00:35Z | https://www.nationalworld.com/lifestyle/travel/thomas-cook-warning-brits-all-inclusive-holidays-spain-booze-crackdown-3673992 | true | 15 |

Ralf Rangnick took over as interim Man Utd manager in November 2021, replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford; Rangnick to stay on at Old Trafford in consultancy role until 2024
Friday 29 April 2022 11:58, UK
Ralf Rangnick is set to be announced as the next manager of Austria, but will continue in his Manchester United consultancy role until 2024.
Rangnick, 63, replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the club at the end of November, agreeing to take temporary charge of the team until the summer, before remaining in a consultancy role for two more years.
However, results have been disappointing under Rangnick, with United currently sixth in the Premier League, five points behind Arsenal in the fourth and final Champions League spot for next season as the campaign draws to a close.
Ajax manager Erik ten Hag was recently announced as United's permanent boss for next season, although Rangnick will, as planned, still stay on as a consultant. That role will encompass six days a month for the next two years, meaning the German would be able to combine the work with his Austria duties.
"What I can tell you and confirm is I will definitely continue with my consultancy role at the end of the season and for the next two years," he told Sky Sports after Thursday's 1-1 home draw with Chelsea in the Premier League.
"I'm very much looking forward to it. We haven't spoken, Erik and myself, we've spoken with the board about the contract and the profile of the job, the content of the consultancy role.
"That's why I can confirm I will continue at the end of the season."
Rangnick is Austria's preferred candidate but is yet to sign a contract, and the last few details are still being negotiated.
The Austrian FA (OFB) will hold an executive committee meeting on Friday morning, when Rangnick's potential appointment is expected to be given formal approval by board members, and an announcement could follow shortly after that.
At the beginning of the month, the OFB had to officially deny approaching Rangnick, who knows Austrian football well from his time as director of football for Red Bull Salzburg.
Austrian daily Kurier, which broke the news of Rangnick's imminent appointment on Thursday, said back then that sporting director Peter Schottel had travelled to Manchester to offer him the job.
"Clarification: There was no meeting between ÖFB sports director Peter Schottel and Ralf Rangnick, coach of Manchester United," the OFB wrote on their official Twitter feed at the time.
Austria are looking for a new boss after Franco Foda resigned from his position following their 2-0 defeat to Wales earlier this month which denied them a spot at the World Cup in Qatar.
United are yet to hold talks with Rangnick over what the 63-year-old's influence at the club might be going forward.
Sky Sports' Gary Neville on the Gary Neville Podcast:
"As Manchester United's sporting director, or consultant, can he really be going to look at Austrian players week in, week out and then selecting them for a national team?
"The Austrian national team have got pride, it's a great country with great players, so he'll have to watch them play every week. Then he's going to go and coach them two weeks in September, October, November and March.
"So then you're thinking 'what's happening to the Man United consultancy and advice? Where's the priority?' because there's a conflict there.
"I don't see how that can work because if you're a national team manager - and I've worked under a national team manager - I know that they have got to be present watching their players play week in, week out. And he can't be at Old Trafford every single week - not watching an Austrian player play.
"I don't know how that's going to work if it is something that's true.
"It's messy. Man United can't afford to have distractions at this moment in time, they can't afford to have a poor communications plan around the idea that Rangnick's the football consultant, but he's seen watching German football three times a month and then going off to coach the Austrian team.
"There needs to be laser focus, clean lines, people staying in their lanes, understanding what their jobs are and communicating to the fan base that this is a real change and different than it has been for the last 10 years."

TALKING ‘BOUT PRACTICE: Bristol Bash Begins as World of Outlaws Sprint Cars Get Back on Track
David Gravel Clocks a 13.624, Averaging 138.990 MPH at Bristol 1/2-Mile
BRISTOL, TN – April 28, 2022 – The long-anticipated Bristol Bash finally began on Thursday night as the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Model Series both returned to The Last Great Colosseum.
After a year away from the high-banked, 1/2-mile, drivers and teams took advantage of four practice sessions at Bristol Motor Speedway before chasing a pair of $25,000-to-win Features and two gladiator swords on Friday and Saturday in Thunder Valley.
Much like last year during their Bristol sweep, David Gravel and Big Game Motorsports were the talk of the town in Tennessee on Thursday. With Gravel at the wheel and Cody Jacobs on the wrenches, the #2 clocked the fastest overall lap of the night. The Watertown, CT native timed in at 13.624 seconds around the 0.533-mile oval, averaging 138.990 MPH in the first session.
“There’s a lot of emphasis on Qualifying here, so getting on the front row of the Heat Race and into the Dash will be crucial,” Gravel noted. “I know there isn’t a ton of cars, but these are 20 of the best cars in the entire country here and it’s gonna be tough to do what we did last year.”
Laying dirt on top of the concrete surface at Bristol for the second year now, there was plenty of talks centered around the change in banking this year. Gravel thought the difference wasn’t too evident from the cockpit but does expect an exciting show with how the track races from top-to-bottom.
“I think it feels somewhat similar to the sensation I had last year,” Gravel added. “You can still roll the bottom real right to the berm, but it was getting slick and more tricky to hit that. I think it should promote some good racing when it gets wider and tougher to manage.”
All four practice sessions on Thursday were paced by four different drivers, led by Gravel’s 13.624, which was less than three-tenths off Sam Hafertepe Jr’s track record at 13.326.
Topping the second session was Donny Schatz at 13.782 seconds (137.396 MPH) aboard the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, Ford Performance, Carquest #15. The 10-time Series champion finished runner-up at the track last year and won the Series’ third-ever appearance in Bristol back in 2001.
As the track slicked off and widened to the fence, Bloomington, IN’s Kraig Kinser led the third session with a lap of 14.041 seconds (134.862 MPH). A win at the iconic Bristol Motor Speedway is one of the very few things the legendary Kinser family has not attained, but Steve’s boy has two chances to get that done this weekend.
In the fourth and final session, three-time and defending World of Outlaws champion Brad Sweet went to the top of the charts at 14.157 seconds (133.757 MPH). The Kasey Kahne Racing, NAPA Auto Parts #49 maxed out with an eighth-place finish at the 1/2-mile last year, and the current championship leader is bound and determined to improve that mark.
Other notables names towards the top in times included NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson (pulling double duty with Late Models), last year’s runner-up Aaron Reutzel, four-time winner this season Carson Macedo, Shark Racing’s duo of Jacob Allen & Logan Schuchart, the Roth Motorsports pairing of James McFadden & Kerry Madsen, CJB’s rookie star Spencer Bayston, and NOS Energy Drink pilot Sheldon Haudenschild.
The aura of Bristol Motor Speedway was not taken lightly as the World of Outlaws returned to the venue for the first time in a year.
“It’s one of a kind,” Gravel spoke on the atmosphere. “It’s almost in the middle of the nowhere, but then you turn the corner, and over the hill is this massive colosseum, You grow up watching the YouTube videos, and now we’re here ourselves filling the stands. It’s incredible.”
The Bristol Bash really gets going tomorrow, Friday, April 29, with the first of two doubleheaders featuring the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Model Series. Both divisions will host full programs of Qualifying, Heat Races, Dash, and $25,000-to-win Features at the 1/2-mile.

Building the perfect campfire requires the right mix of ingredients: plenty of kindling, a spark to ignite it, and large, dry logs to keep the fire burning strong. Unfortunately, fire suppression strategies adopted long ago—combined more recently with severe droughts and climate change—have created this same mixture writ large across many of the dry forests of the western United States, such as those in Yosemite National Park and elsewhere in the Sierra Nevada. Over the past several years, these conditions have led to disastrous, headline-grabbing fires that threaten human communities, ecosystems, and the very survival of our forests.
Despite their destructive power, fires are natural phenomena in many forests, where they are essential to the biomes’ long-term health. Decades of field-based studies have built the field of fire ecology and have informed nuanced views of fire as both a threat and a restorative process. However, the expense of such fieldwork has meant that relatively small portions of forests—and their relation to fire—have been studied in detail. Even extensive field studies involving hundreds of forest plots may cumulatively measure conditions over only dozens to hundreds of hectares, yet because of the limited data available, these samples are taken to represent highly varied conditions over millions of hectares.
Today, with help from remote sensing technologies, fire ecologists are more often examining continuous forest landscapes to understand their conditions before and after fires. In particular, they are using high-resolution laser imaging measurements gathered by lidar instruments aboard planes to map conditions from the treetops to the ground. Lidar allows us, for the first time, to quantify forest structure directly—that is, to determine tree heights, canopy densities, and the distribution of branches and leaves throughout the canopy—a feat previously possible only by painstaking field measurements. Lidar-based studies are beginning to enrich our understanding of wildfires historically, and they are providing forest managers with new tools to use in planning forest restorations and thus to improve forests’ resilience to future fires.
A New Understanding of Fire in Forests
For much of the 19th and 20th centuries, forest management efforts in the United States were focused on fire suppression. The rationale was that by preventing fires, forest management agencies could protect natural resources and wildlife, drive economic growth in the timber industry, and safeguard the lives and livelihoods of those living nearby.
However, in the 1960s, fire ecology research at the University of California, Berkeley shined a light on the connection between regular fires and forest health for many forests in the arid western United States. In this work, researchers found that areas burned by fires under nonextreme weather conditions ultimately became more resilient and resistant to future burning. With less flammable material for subsequent fires to burn, these fires were prevented from burning as intensely and moving as rapidly over the landscape as they otherwise would have.
As a result of this research, in the early 1970s, forest managers in Sequoia and Yosemite national parks in the Sierra Nevada of California were among the first to introduce prescribed burns and to allow lightning-sparked wildfires to burn in their jurisdictions as part of a fire benefit program. In doing so, they sought to return these forests to a healthy cycle involving frequent fires that had existed for centuries before managers first sought to suppress all fires in the 19th century.
Much of this early fire ecology knowledge was gained through field studies. Research teams measured conditions on the ground, then extrapolated from these small plots to estimate likely conditions across vast reaches of parkland as they developed management plans. From there, forest managers embarked on strategic thinning initiatives or set managed, prescribed fires to improve forest health and resilience.
The success of this approach became especially evident during the 2013 Rim Fire, which started in California’s Stanislaus National Forest but quickly spread to neighboring Yosemite. The fire caused less damage in Yosemite where it entered forests that had been subjected previously to lower-severity burns. In these areas, there was less undergrowth and thus smaller fuel loads, which resulted in lower-intensity fires that burned along the ground, rather than laddering up into the crowns of large, old-growth trees.
Measuring the Whole Forest
Scientists’ ability to study Yosemite’s forests both on a broader scale and in more detail began to change in 2010. From 2010 to 2011, Watershed Science (now NV5 Geospatial) used its airborne lidar instruments to image and measure a total of 64,800 acres (26,200 hectares) of Yosemite National Park’s forests, in research initiated by James Lutz, now at Utah State University, and Malcolm North of the U.S. Forest Service’s Pacific Southwest Research Station. These lidar data—collected at a high density of about 100,000 measurements per acre (247,000 per hectare) across the full study area—provided a census of the 3D structure of vegetation and the ground below.
These data sets, supplemented by a larger lidar acquisition in 2013 following the Rim Fire that year, enabled numerous and varied studies focusing on the overall effects of fires, their impacts on habitat for critical species and on hydrology, and guidelines for managers seeking to improve the resilience of other Sierra Nevada forests to wildfire [Kane et al., 2013, 2014, 2015].
The first of these studies, led by one of the coauthors of this article, used the lidar data to examine the effects of fire across several forest types [Kane et al., 2013]. These forest types included stands (groups of trees) that had experienced a range of fire histories, from stands where fires had been suppressed for a century to others burned as many as three times under the restored fire regime enacted by the park’s managers since the 1970s.
Key to these studies was the concept of the resulting burn severity. Wildfires naturally burn at different intensities over different areas. Burn severity describes the effects of fire on soils and vegetation and is commonly classified as low (only material on the ground burned), moderate (a portion of trees were also killed), or high (most to all trees were killed). Burn severity also has varying impacts on soil structure, permeability, organic matter, and ability to support regeneration of the forest. Generally, these severities are estimated from multispectral images collected by satellites, such as NASA’s Landsat, by analyzing ratios of spectral bands in the images that indicate values corresponding to the removal of green vegetation and organic matter from soils.
The lidar-based studies added nuance and breadth to prior research and observations by ecologists and forest managers on the effects of fire. For example, previous fieldwork had suggested that low-severity fires removed fuels primarily on the surface but caused little change to the structure of the forest canopies above. However, the lidar measurements indicated that low-severity fires did a better job at thinning both underbrush and dead and unhealthy trees than had been thought, suggesting these burns may be effective at improving forest resilience.
Forests that have survived one or more fires tend to be more resilient to subsequent fires. A key trait of these forests is that previous fires leave a pattern of surviving individual trees or small clumps of trees interspersed with openings and gaps. Reconstructions of forests from more than 100 years ago, before managers began suppressing fires, have shown that these conditions were widespread among the U.S. West’s drier forests, including in Yosemite, and were key to forests thriving in a regime of frequent fires [Collins et al., 2011; Larson and Churchill, 2012; North et al., 2022]. This pattern reduced the fuel load available and created a web of natural firebreaks, increasing the probability of lower-severity fires. However, fire suppression over many decades allowed trees to fill in the openings, creating dense stands prone to intense fires that threaten forest survival.
The historic tree clump and opening patterns were created by natural fires burning occasionally over centuries. Could fires burning today in vastly changed forests re-create these key patterns? With the lidar data collected in the early 2010s, we mapped patterns of trees and openings in Yosemite’s forests. The results revealed that where multiple fires had burned the same locations—reflecting a successful restoration of the frequent fire regime—these key patterns were present. Unexpectedly, we also found that even the first fire to burn a location in a century, if it burned under moderate weather and caused low to moderate burn severity, could re-create clump and opening patterns reminiscent of historic fire-resilient forests. This finding strongly supports the idea that using prescribed fires when weather conditions are not too dry can help restore forests and make them more resilient to future fires.
The Next Generation of Lidar-Based Studies
Until 2019, only about a third of Yosemite had been measured with lidar. In 2019, NV5 Geospatial, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Yosemite Conservancy, conducted a comprehensive aerial survey across all of Yosemite and some adjacent areas. This survey, collected using the latest generation of airborne commercial lidar technology, provides more detailed measurements, particularly of vegetation structure, than the earlier surveys did. For example, the new data offer clearer looks at canopy structure and enable better mapping of fuel ladders (fuel that carries fire from low-growing vegetation into the tree canopy) and snags (dead trees). The new survey showed that forests in Yosemite have changed considerably even since they were first measured with lidar less than a decade earlier. Between 2013 and 2019, 354 fires burned 132,205 acres (53,500 hectares) of its forests—sometimes for the second or third time.
More important, the recent data document how the recent devastating multiyear drought resulted in the death of a large fraction of the park’s trees in several key forest types like ponderosa pine and mixed-conifer forests, changing the character of these forests. The dead trees constitute a huge, unprecedented pulse of fuel that will feed future fires. Instead of being restorative, future fires fed by this massive fuel load could be devastating, akin to the 2020 Creek Fire that burned under similar conditions farther south in the Sierra Nevada.
The new lidar data have been processed and recently been made available to Yosemite’s managers and to researchers. We are beginning to work with the park’s managers to apply the new measurements to assess conditions across the entire park. Data from the earlier lidar flights will provide an important historic sample that will allow us to examine the intervening changes in detail.
Benefits Beyond Forests
The utility of lidar extends beyond fire management applications. For example, the earlier round of Yosemite lidar data was also used in a study of California spotted owl habitat. A key question that field studies had not been able to resolve was whether these threatened birds require a high density of canopy cover—a condition that would encourage more severe fires—throughout their ranges to survive. When we combined the Yosemite lidar data with lidar data from other Sierra Nevada forests, we showed that these owls require dense canopy cover only around their immediate nesting sites [North et al., 2017]. This finding can help forest managers safely thin forests farther from owls’ nests, thereby improving the forests’ resilience to future fires and drought while maintaining safe habitat for the owls.
Droughts and fires not only jeopardize forest health and wildlife habitat; they also stress water resources for residents in the western United States. The depth and location of snowpack often affect water availability, which in turn can create shortages for residents. Lidar can help water managers in the Sierra Nevada, the Rocky Mountains, and other snowpack-influenced regions measure snow depth across large areas, and when it is combined with airborne hyperspectral imagery that gives information about the reflectivity of the snow (albedo), the combined data set provides information about the quantity of water stored in the snowpack. By comparing changes in snowpack over time within watersheds, rates of snowmelt can be estimated.
These data help managers regulate water releases from reservoirs that provide water to urbanized areas in California, Colorado, and elsewhere. If water managers underestimate snowmelt and retain more water, their reservoirs could be overtopped, requiring rapid releases to avoid catastrophic damage. Alternatively, if they overestimate snowmelt and release too much water, they may not have enough to supply communities during drier times of the year.
Seeing the Forest and the Trees
Forests play many vital and stabilizing roles on our planet, including in mitigating climate change by moderating temperature and humidity and as prominent parts of Earth’s carbon and water cycles. They are also home to diverse species of animals and plants, they contribute to economies through timber production and tourism, and they are widely used for recreation.
Understanding forest structure and responses to fire is more important than ever, considering how the incidence and intensity of forest fires are rising across much of the planet. Improving our understanding will help us to ensure the health of these important resources, prevent out-of-control fires that threaten lives and livelihoods, and preserve endangered wildlife habitat.
Lidar’s capabilities to measure vegetation structure in detail across wide areas are shifting the paradigm of how forests are analyzed, and the technology is now being adopted as a foundational data collection method for forest management in the same way aerial photography was more than half a century ago.
Since lidar’s initial use to study Yosemite just over a decade ago, lidar data have already revealed many new ecological insights that are changing not just how forestry practices are implemented but also how we see the forest. Scientists and forest managers are looking at how individual trees, rather than management units (i.e., stands of trees spread across 5–100 acres (2–40 hectares)), respond to and interact with climate and their local environment. This granular level of detail tells us much more about the processes occurring in forests and will help us make sustainable and wise decisions about resources that are essential for our long-term survival.

League One draws to a screeching close this weekend with all teams in action and nothing yet decided going into the final day.
Wigan lead the way but haven't won any of their last five games. They're two points clear of Rotherham and only need a draw against Shrewsbury to guarantee automatic promotion.
MK Dons are the third team on the hunt for automatic promotion and a victory would certainly put them in contention.
The next four teams down are separated by just two points, but must be condensed into just three play-off places on Saturday.
Sunderland are the form team, unbeaten in 12, though Sheffield Wednesday, Plymouth and Wycombe will be determined to squeeze into the play-off spot.

1. In a systematic review and meta-analysis of 30 cohort studies, antenatal corticosteroid use was associated with significantly decreased rates of later neurodevelopmental impairment in children born extremely preterm.
2. In children born late preterm or full term, exposure to antenatal corticosteroids was significantly associated with higher risk of adverse neurological and psychological outcomes.
Evidence Rating Level: 2 (Good)
Study Rundown: Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) are used to foster fetal lung maturity and reduce neonatal mortality in the setting of likely preterm delivery. However, ACS use has been linked to negative effects on neurological development, which remain poorly understood. This review and meta-analysis assessed neurodevelopmental and psychological outcomes beyond 1 year of age using data from 30 cohort studies of over 1.25 million children. Based on 2 studies comparing children exposed to a single course of ACS to those unexposed, children born extremely premature were 31% less likely to have later neurodevelopmental impairment. Exposure to ACS was not associated with a significant difference in risk of impairment in the broader preterm population based on 5 studies. However, one study showed a significantly increased risk of neurocognitive disorders in children born late preterm (34-37 weeks), while another found significantly higher rates of mental or behavioral disorders and neurocognitive disorders in children born at full term who received ACS. This systematic review supports the positive impact of ACS on neurologic — not just overall — outcomes for extremely preterm infants, perhaps via reduced rates of neonatal complications such as intraventricular hemorrhage. However, it suggests that the harms of ACS may outweigh benefits in infants born later. Currently, administration of ACS to pregnant patients is recommended only before 34 weeks’ gestation, but predicting pregnancy and delivery courses to determine which infants will be delivered before this mark presents obvious difficulty.

In-Depth [systematic review and meta-analysis]: Studies examining neurodevelopmental or psychological outcomes in children at least 1 year old born in or after 2000 who were exposed to ACS were included. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs were included in initial review but not the final study. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess risk of bias; the median score was 5.75 out of 9, with 9 indicating highest comparability. The GRADE tool was used to rate the certainty of outcomes as high, moderate, low or very low. A random-effects meta-analysis was used for pooled outcomes. The adjusted odds ratio for neurodevelopmental impairment with ACS exposure was 0.69 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.57-0.84], with low certainty but an I2 statistic of 0% indicating homogeneity of studies. For ACS-exposed children born at term, the hazard ratio for any mental or behavioral disorder was 1.47 (95% CI 1.36-1.60) and for any neurocognitive disorder was 1.16 (1.10-1.21), both with low certainty.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is discussing with officials the idea of pegging the rouble to gold and other goods, the Kremlin said on Friday.
A powerful Russian security official said this week linking the rouble to bullion could give Russia more "sovereignty" over its financial system, which has been battered by Western sanctions since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24.
Asked about the idea on a conference call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said "this question is being discussed with Putin."
Russia produces around 10% of the gold mined globally each year and is a major producer of oil, gas, metals and grains.
In what some saw as an attempt to link the rouble with gold, Russia's central bank said in March it would buy gold at a fixed price of 5,000 roubles a gram until June 30.
But two weeks later, after the rouble had strengthened sharply, it backtracked and said it would buy at negotiated prices.
Many currencies have in the past been pegged to gold or silver but the link was severed when the United States in 1971 stopped allowing conversion of dollars to gold.
Nikolai Patrushev, the secretary of Russia's Security Council and a close Putin ally, said on Tuesday that proposals on pegging the rouble's value to gold and other goods were being drawn up.
"The most important condition for ensuring Russia's economic security is reliance on the country's internal potential," he said in an interview with government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
Asked if these ideas contracted economic theory, Patrushev said "they do not contradict the conclusions of economic science, they contradict the conclusions of Western economic textbooks." | https://www.anews.com.tr/economy/2022/04/29/putin-discussing-idea-of-pegging-the-rouble-to-gold-kremlin | 2022-04-29T13:18:41Z | https://www.anews.com.tr/economy/2022/04/29/putin-discussing-idea-of-pegging-the-rouble-to-gold-kremlin | true | 3 |
BERLIN — The German government has strongly criticized the Russian missile strike on Kyiv during the U.N. secretary-general’s visit to the Ukrainian capital Thursday.
Germany “condemns the Russian missile attack on Kyiv, while Secretary-General (Antonio) Guterres was there simultaneously for talks, in the sharpest possible manner,” government spokesman Wolfgang Buechner told reporters in Berlin on Friday.
The attack “reveals before the eyes of the world community once more that Putin and his regime have no respect whatsoever for international law,” he added.
The US-funded broadcaster Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty says one of its journalists was killed by the Russian missile strike. Ten people were wounded in the attack, including at least one who lost a leg, according to Ukraine’s emergency services.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
The US-funded broadcaster Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty says one of its journalists was killed by a Russian missile strike on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, Thursday night.
Vira Hyrych died when the building she lived in was hit and her body was found in the building’s rubble Friday, Radio Free Europe said. Hyrych had worked for the broadcaster’s Ukrainian-language service since 2018, Radio Free Europe said in a statement.
Ten people were wounded in the attack, including at least one who lost a leg, according to Ukraine’s emergency services.
Describing the attack, Russia says it “destroyed production buildings” at a defense factory in Kyiv. Russia used “high-precision, long-range weaponry” to hit the Artem factory in the Ukrainian capital, the Russian Defense Ministry spokesman said Friday.
The spokesman appeared to be referring to strikes on Kyiv that took place on Thursday evening, shortly after a meeting between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said cruise missiles were used in the attack and Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said one person was killed and four hospitalized when a residential building was hit.
Konashenkov also said Russia had destroyed a missile launch site that Ukraine had used to strike the Russia-held Ukrainian city of Kherson.
LONDON — Britain is sending a team of experts to Ukraine to help local authorities investigate reports of war crimes, including sexual violence, committed by Russian troops.
UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says the team, including experts in conflict-related sexual violence, will arrive in Poland in early May and meet with representatives of international agencies, non-governmental organizations, refugees and the Ukrainian government to determine what assistance it can provide.
“Russia has brought barbarity to Ukraine and committed vile atrocities, including against women,’’ Truss said in a statement. “British expertise will help uncover the truth and hold Putin’s regime to account for its actions. Justice will be done.”
Truss plans to meet with the president of the International Criminal Court, Judge Piotr Hofmanski, on Friday in the Hague, where she will reaffirm Britain’s support for the investigation and prosecution of war crimes in Ukraine.
LVIV, Ukraine — A British aid group says it believes two Britons have been abducted by Russian forces in southeastern Ukraine.
The British Foreign Office said it is “urgently seeking more information” about the two men’s case.
Dominik Byrne, the co-founder and chief operating officer of the Presidium Network, told The Associated Press on Friday that the men were last heard from on Monday.
Byrne said the men were taken while trying to carry out an independent evacuation in Dniprorudne, near the city of Zaporizhzhia, some 470 kilometers (290 miles) southeast of Kyiv.
Byrne said the family that the two men had been trying to evacuate later were interrogated by Russian forces, who asked them about the “British spies.” Bryne said the family later escaped to Poland.
Byrne identified the men as Paul Urey and Dylan Healy. He said they had been operating on their own in the war zone and hadn’t been associated with any aid group.
The British Foreign Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Russia hasn’t acknowledged taking the men.
STOCKHOLM - The Swedish capital will rename part of a park near the Russian Embassy to Fria Ukrainas plats (Swedish for Free Ukraine Square) to show “Stockholm’s solidarity with the Ukrainian people,” the mayor said Friday.
Stockholm’s planning department has decided to rename part of Mariebergspark, with the Stockholm mayor Anna König Jerlmyr calling it on Facebook “an important mark l against the actions of the Russian regime.”
Several European cities have renamed streets. One of the first was Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, where a quiet alley where the Russian Embassy in the Lithuanian capital is located, changed its name to “Heroes of Ukraine street” in March.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A 25-year-old Dane was allegedly killed in Mykolajiv on April 26 while fighting with the International Legion Ukraine, a unit for foreigners who want to join the fight against Russia, according to Danish broadcaster TV2. The man’s name was not given.
In a statement to Danish media, the Foreign Ministry in Copenhagen said it could not confirm the report and was in contact with Ukrainian authorities.
“It may therefore take time before the details are clarified” because the war creates “extremely difficult conditions,” the statement read.
The Jyllands-Posten daily, one of Denmark’s largest newspapers, said up to 100 Danes have traveled to Ukraine to fight Russia, citing Ukraine’s Embassy in Denmark.
___
LVIV, Ukraine — The British Defense Ministry says Russia’s focus in its war on Ukraine remains the Donbas region.
In an update Friday, the British military said heavy fighting had been seen around Lysychansk and Severodonetsk. The British said they believe Russia is trying to attempt an advance south from Izium toward Slovyansk.
The British military said in a tweet: “Due to strong Ukrainian resistance, Russian territorial gains have been limited and achieved at significant cost to Russian forces.”
The British military has been offering daily public reports on the fighting since the start of the war in February.

KYIV, Ukraine — Russia pounded targets from practically one end of Ukraine to the other Thursday, including Kyiv, bombarding the city while the head of the United Nations was visiting in the boldest attack on the capital since Moscow’s forces retreated weeks ago.
Ukrainian emergency services said 10 people were wounded when a Russian missile hit a 25-story apartment building in Kyiv on Thursday evening and set off a fire, which partially destroyed the first and second floors.
The bombardment came barely an hour after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a news conference with U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, who said Ukraine has become “an epicenter of unbearable heartache and pain.”
A spokesperson said Guterres and his team were safe.
Meanwhile, explosions were reported across the country — in Polonne in the west, Chernihiv 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.
___
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had “very substantive and warm talks” on energy and defense cooperation with Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov during his visit to Kyiv on Thursday.
Zelenskyy said they agreed that damaged Ukrainian military equipment could be repaired at Bulgarian plants and then sent back to Ukraine.
“Another issue we agreed on was the supply of Ukrainian electricity to Bulgaria and the joint use of the Trans-Balkan gas pipeline” to diversify energy supplies in the region,” Zelenskyy said late Thursday in his nightly video address to the nation.
Russia this week cut off natural gas supplies to Bulgaria and also to Poland, two NATO members which have been among the strongest European supporters of Ukraine in the war.
Although Bulgaria gets over 90% of its gas from Russia, the cutoff does not immediately put the country in dire trouble because of other potential suppliers. The Trans-Balkan gas pipeline runs from Greece through Bulgaria and Romania to Ukraine.

ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine — An 11-year-old Ukrainian boy was one of at least three people wounded in what emergency officials are calling the first Russian strike in a residential area of the southern city of Zaporizhzhia since Russia’s invasion began.
The city has been a crucial waypoint for tens of thousands of people fleeing the besieged southern port of Mariupol.
The rocket strike came Thursday as parts of southern Ukraine prepared for a further onslaught by Russian forces who seek to strip the country of its coastline.
Residents said at least eight homes in the modest neighborhood were damaged or destroyed.
Glass shards cut the boy’s right leg to the bone. The injured boy’s father, Vadym Vodostoyev, said “it just takes one second and you’re left with nothing.”

KYIV, Ukraine — Russia struck the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv shortly after a meeting between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres on Thursday evening.
At least one person was killed and several were injured, including some who were trapped beneath the rubble, according to rescue officials. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the Shevchenkivskyi district in the northwestern part of the city was hit twice, causing fires in at least two high-rise buildings.
The explosions, which sent plumes of black smoke into the air, came just shortly after the two leaders held a press conference in which Guterres condemned the atrocities committed in towns like Bucha, where evidence of mass killings of civilians was found after Russia retreated. Authorities said the U.N. chief and his team were safe.
Appearing to be one of boldest attacks on Kyiv since Russian forces retreated from around the capital weeks ago, the explosions 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 enjoying the spring weather. | https://www.union-bulletin.com/seattle_times/live-updates-germany-slams-russian-missile-strike-on-kyiv/article_072d6af4-e29d-5020-b2f5-735dbe10bf32.html | 2022-04-29T13:19:36Z | https://www.union-bulletin.com/seattle_times/live-updates-germany-slams-russian-missile-strike-on-kyiv/article_072d6af4-e29d-5020-b2f5-735dbe10bf32.html | false | 10 |

Usually the consequences of any war extend beyond the military aspects. The Russia-Ukraine crisis is not an exception. Imposing sanctions on Russia contributes to the displacement of Russia from European markets and its replacement by the United States. Thus, this war was successfully used by the U.S. to reshape the energy landscape.
Washington has been cultivated the idea of “threat from the East” for a long time, pressing Europe to refuse from Russian energy supplies. It is highly interested in forcing European countries to buy its liquefied natural gas instead of Russian resources. Creating the demonized image of Russia in the eyes of Europeans is subordinated to this main goal. It should be said, that Washington was quite successful in achieving this goal.
Thus, the European Union and the United States have struck a deal under which the bloc will receive at least 15 billion cubic meters of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) this year in an effort to wean itself off Russian gas imports. It is known that the EU consumed an estimated 378 billion cubic meters of gas in 2020, 40 percent of which was supplied by Russia.
U.S. President Joe Biden and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled the formation of a task force on March 25 to reduce Europe’s reliance on Russian fossil fuels. “Today we’ve agreed on a joint game plan for that goal, while accelerating our progress towards a secure, clean energy future,” Biden told a joint news conference with von der Leyen. “This initiative focuses on two core issues, one helping Europe to reduce its dependency on Russian gas as quickly as possible and secondly, reducing Europe’s demand for gas overall,” he said. “We aim to reduce this dependency on Russian fossil fuels and get rid of it. This can only be achieved through additional gas supplies, including LNG deliveries,” von der Leyen said.
Lithuania became the first European country which has ceased Russian gas imports. Vilnius has completely abandoned Russian gas,” Lithuania’s energy ministry said on 2 April. The energy ministry said from now on all gas for Lithuania’s domestic consumption would be imported via Klaipeda’s LNG terminal. Energy The main source of LNG at Klaipėda remains Norway, although the US increased its deliveries to the Baltic country since 2020 amid experts are far from being convinced of the benefits of the LNG purchase for the country budget.
According to LRT, a large liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipment from the United States, the third this month, arrived in the Lithuanian seaport of Klaipėda on April, 24. The tanker came from the LNG production facility in Corpus Christi, Texas, where Cheniere Energy’s subsidiary Corpus Christi Liquefaction has an export terminal, according to vessel tracking websites Marinetraffic, Vesselfinder and Myshiptracking. After Lithuania gave up Russian gas imports completely, the Energy Ministry said that the country’s gas needs would be fully met by Klaipėda LNG terminal, which would receive three large LNG cargoes each month.
It is not surprising that net exports of natural gas from the United States are expected to continue to grow in response to new LNG terminals and a steady demand for gas outside the United States. That ongoing climb in net exports, total exports less total imports of gas into the U.S., is expected to continue in the coming years even after the U.S. reached a record exports in 2021, according to a recent study from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
In March, LNG exports from the U.S. reached a new record of 11.9 Bcf/d. The U.S. began exporting more natural gas than it imported in 2017. Exports by pipeline and LNG have grown significantly since then. The agency has previously forecast that LNG exports will continue to lead natural gas exports and will average 12.2 Bcf/d this year. If it reaches that level, exports from the U.S. will exceed exports from Australia and Qatar.
The United States currently is the second largest natural gas exporter in the world, behind Russia. And, of course, the U.S. wants to dominate Russia as its main rival in the world energy market. Lithuania is only «one link in the chain» of the U.S. efforts to reach its goal of the world energy superiority and a victim of two superpowers’ fight.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is discussing with officials the idea of pegging the ruble to gold and other goods, the Kremlin said on Friday.
A powerful Russian security official said this week linking the ruble to bullion could give Russia more “sovereignty” over its financial system, which has been battered by Western sanctions since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine on February 24.
Asked about the idea on a conference call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said “this question is being discussed with Putin.”
For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
Russia produces around 10 percent of the gold mined globally each year and is a major producer of oil, gas, metals and grains.
In what some saw as an attempt to link the ruble with gold, Russia's central bank said in March it would buy gold at a fixed price of 5,000 rubles a gram until June 30.
But two weeks later, after the ruble had strengthened sharply, it backtracked and said it would buy at negotiated prices.
Many currencies have in the past been pegged to gold or silver but the link was severed when the United States in 1971 stopped allowing conversion of dollars to gold.
Nikolai Patrushev, the secretary of Russia’s Security Council and a close Putin ally, said on Tuesday that proposals on pegging the ruble’s value to gold and other goods were being drawn up.
“The most important condition for ensuring Russia’s economic security is reliance on the country’s internal potential,” he said in an interview with government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
Asked if these ideas contracted economic theory, Patrushev said “they do not contradict the conclusions of economic science, they contradict the conclusions of Western economic textbooks.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — An inflation gauge closely tracked by the Federal Reserve jumped 6.6% in March compared with a year ago, the highest 12-month reading in four decades, further evidence that surging prices are pressuring household budgets and the health of the economy.
Yet there were signs in Friday's report from the Commerce Department that inflation might be slowing from its galloping pace and perhaps nearing a peak, at least for now.
Excluding the especially volatile food and energy categories, so-called core prices rose 5.2% in March from a year earlier. That was slightly below the 5.3% year-over-year increase in February, and it was the first time that 12-month figure has declined since February 2021, before the inflation spike began. And on a month-to-month basis, core prices rose 0.3% from February to March, the same as from January to February.
The report also showed that consumer spending rose at a solid pace last month, though the gain largely reflected higher prices at the gas pump, grocery store and other places where Americans shop for necessities. But even adjusted for inflation, spending rose 0.2%.
Still, inflation is eroding Americans' purchasing power and leading the Federal Reserve to plan a series of sharp interest rates hikes in the coming months.
At the same time, paychecks are expanding at a healthy pace, helping consumers keep up with some of the inflation spike. Employers are raising wages because many of them are desperate to find and keep workers. Job openings are near a record high, and the unemployment rate, at 3.6%, is just above the half-century low it reached just before the pandemic.
Still, inflation remains chronically high, and Americans are taking an increasingly negative view of the economy as a result. About one-third of respondents to a Gallup poll, released Thursday, cited inflation as the most important financial problem their family faces today, up from fewer than one in 10 who said so a year ago.
The gloom that has gripped public opinion as inflation has accelerated is posing a growing political threat to President Joe Biden and Democrats running for Congress. Biden has pointed to a strong job market and solid consumer spending as evidence that his policies have helped Americans. But that view absorbed a setback Thursday, when the government reported that the economy actually contracted in the first three months of this year at a 1.4% annual rate.
Even so, consumers and businesses increased their spending at a solid pace in the January-March quarter, even after adjusting for inflation, a sign that the economy is much healthier than Thursday’s dismal figure for the nation’s gross domestic product suggested.
How consumers respond to inflated prices — and much higher interest rates from the Federal Reserve — is one of the unknowns facing the economy this year. Moody’s Analytics estimates that the average household is spending $327 more each month to buy the same things they bought a year ago.
In addition to higher pay, some economists think that elevated savings, which many Americans built up from stimulus checks and other government aid during the pandemic shutdowns, could help sustain consumer spending in the coming months.
Economists have estimated that Americans have about $2.1 trillion more in savings than they did before COVID, with some of that cash in lower-income Americans’ bank accounts. Economists at Bank of America note that, according to the bank’s data on checking and savings accounts, Americans who earn under $50,000 a year had an average of about $3,000 in their accounts in February — roughly double the pre-pandemic level. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/A-key-inflation-gauge-jumped-6-6-in-March-most-17136133.php | 2022-04-29T13:24:45Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/A-key-inflation-gauge-jumped-6-6-in-March-most-17136133.php | true | 15 |

German startup Nexol has developed a photovoltaic water heating system that relies on a smart controller, with either DC and AC power. It decides autonomously if grid electricity or PV is used, with the latter always preferred.
German startup Nexol Photovolthermic AG has unveiled a 1,500 W water heater that can use photovoltaic energy without an additional converter.
“The system can be ordered in three configurations starting from the third quarter of this year,” the company’s co-founder, Michael Lau, told pv magazine.
All of the systems include a smart controller, known as the Nexol-Energy-Controller. It can work with either DC and AC power and decides autonomously if grid electricity or photovoltaics is used, with the latter being always preferred. Users can choose between one or two heating rods: the NEX-R1 and the NEX-R2.
“To install these retrofit sets, an existing tank needs 1 ½ threaded sleeves at a suitable height,” Lau explained. “We also offer a 120l tank for the two-rod configuration, which is dubbed NEX-R2x120, and the plug and play principle makes installation very easy.”
If two heating rods are integrated, they enable zone heating of the tank inlayers, said Lau. “The application of heating zones allows reducing significantly grid power consumption,” he added.
The function principle of the two-zone heating is described by the company as simple. At first, the upper zone of the storage tank near the hot water outlet is heated to 60 C. This enables faster hot water withdrawal, with PV prioritized as an operating source.
Popular content
In the case of low solar radiation, the intelligent system reheats the upper zone of the water through the network. Thus, as little grid power as possible is used to provide hot water since only the upper zone needs to be heated for this purpose. As soon as the upper zone has reached its target temperature, the system switches to the lower heating element and thus heats the entire storage tank. “The energy generated by the PV panel is stored in the water,” Lau said.
The company said the standard PV installation that should be coupled to the water heater is an array with four 375 W panels. “Other configurations are possible, even with more power,” Lau added. “All you have to check is the maximum input voltage of 500 V.”
The product was developed and fabricated by Nexol in Germany. It will be available from an entry price of €799 ($845) and is purportedly suitable for the European markets, as well as other regions.
“For example, while the NEX-R2x120 is well suited to replace gas boilers in households around the Mediterranean, our R1 and R2 retrofit sets are also well suited for households in the DACH region to be integrated into existing systems and thus reduce costs,” Lau concluded.

HAUNTING new CCTV images showing Debanhi Escobar's final steps could hold vital clues on her mystery disappearance and suspected murder.
The 18-year-old's body was found in a motel's drain 12 days after she was pictured nearby walking alone on "death road".
Now new CCTV images obtained by Mexican TV show the law student buying booze with friends on the night she vanished.
She is also seen walking to a party in the suburbs of Monterrey, and then an alarming clip shows her being chased down the street by a young man.
Debanhi is seen kicking and slapping at the man during an argument before pals intervene.
It was not clear if police believe this scuffle was relevant to the tragedy that followed in the early hours of April 9.

Debanhi was then seen getting a taxi home, but it dropped her off near the Nueva Castilla motel after a reported row.
Cabbie Juan David Cuellar took a photo of her walked away at 4.26am and sent it to her friends - the last known picture of her until now.
Further CCTV images released by prosecutors show her final steps in the minutes after leaving the taxi.
She is seen walking further down the road, crossing to the middle and returning to the pavement.
Most read in News
Debanhi kept walking and stopped outside a haulage company at 4.29am.
Another video shows the teenager running towards the motel driveway at 4.35am and looking through the door of a restaurant a minute later.
There are no surveillance cameras in the area where Debanhi was found in the motel grounds, the attorney general's office said.
Her body was discovered lying in an open-air cistern on April 21 after a worker noticed a foul smell.
Police had searched the grounds at least four times during her 13-day disappearance - sparking disbelief and fury from her family.
It remains unknown how she ended up in the cistern, but pathologists believe she was alive when she went in.
Eduardo Villagómez, director of the state’s forensic services, said she hit her head and drowned.
"She was alive (for a moment) where she was found and there was an opportunity for her to react," he said.
The cause of the death was a contusion to the skull, officials said.
It has not been determined if she fell or was pushed, but the case is being investigated as a homicide.
"We have to put together the puzzle with what we have and what is obtained to clarify the reason for Debanhi's death," said Gustavo Guerrero, the attorney general of Nuevo Leon State.
Debanhi's father Mario Escobar is not ruling out murder and has considered exhuming her body for a second autopsy.
He said: "There are many hypotheses, like my daughter could have been alive, like could she have been kidnapped, how she fell without seeing, how she could have been placed there.
"In other words, we do not rule out any line of investigation. I think I am calm… because they are answering what we have talked about."
'Massive human failure'
It comes after the family accused investigators of withholding information and not taking the case seriously.
Aldo Fasci, a senior Mexican politician, branded the failure to find Debanhi's body sooner a "massive human failure".
The Neuva Castilla motel had been the main focus of the investigation with dozens of volunteers, search dogs and drones meeting there every morning to plan out their search.
Distraught dad Mario blasted police as they removed her body from the scene last week.
"Thirteen days here! How many times were you here looking?" he shouted.
After a national outcry, the attorney general announced two prosecutors had been sacked from the missing persons and kidnapping unit for omitting details.
He released the CCTV images in a new push for transparency as Mexican authorities face claims of failing to tackle an epidemic of crimes against women.
Another young woman María Fernanda Contreras, 26, was found dead just four miles from Debanhi last week.
So far in 2022, at least 41 young women have gone missing just in the suburbs of Monterrey, and more than 1,700 are missing in the state since 2010.
Across Mexico, seven women go missing every day.
Protesters marched in Mexico City and elsewhere following the discovery of the two bodies in Monterrey.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador tried to reassure his people in a recent press conference, insisting that the news "shouldn't worry" Mexicans because it "happens everywhere".

Body to be exhumed in unexplained death of Maple Grove teen
MAPLE GROVE, Minn. (FOX 9) - An Anoka County Judge has granted the request of a Maple Grove mother to exhume the body of her 19-year-old son, Robbie Anderson, whose unexplained death was the subject of a FOX 9 investigation.
Robbie Anderson died on December 4, 2009, after an evening of underage drinking at a friend’s Maple Grove home.
Judge John Dehen’s order on Thursday said the remains "shall be disinterred and exhumed from Forrest Hill Cemetery in Anoka, Minnesota as soon as practical."
Three independent medical examiners and the Maple Grove Police Department support exhuming the body because of discrepancies and inconsistencies in the case.
The original autopsy, performed by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, ruled the cause and manner of Anderson’s death as a "sudden unexplained death."
In December 2019, the FOX 9 Investigators uncovered new details in the case, including inconsistent accounts from the two underage friends Robbie was drinking with that night, Paul Leclerc and Matthew Scouton.
The young men had been drinking in the basement of Leclerc’s parents’ home, when Paul Leclerc made a frantic and bizarre call to 911, saying Robbie was unconscious, not breathing, and they would be bringing his body to the front door.
First responders arrived at a chaotic scene. Police dashcam video showed an intoxicated Leclerc in the back of a police squad car screaming, "Oh God, Oh God, I killed Rob. I killed him."
Robbie’s mother, Sandra Anderson, has been assisted in her efforts by Sheila Potocnik, who helps investigate unsolved cases for families. Potocnik pieced together possible scenarios from meticulously reviewing the police case file.
Last year Anderson hired two independent medical examiners to review the case.
Both experts claim a second autopsy will reveal that Robbie died from blunt force head trauma when he was repeatedly punched, and his unconscious body was dropped on a concrete floor in the basement of the Leclerc home.
Dr. Amanda Youmans said there are "too many unanswered questions" and the case should be reclassified as a homicide. She believes Robbie died from blunt force trauma to the head that "resulted from a harmful volitional act committed by another."
"What is inconsistent is the fact that Robert suffered multiple strikes to his head and face while intoxicated," Dr. Youman’s wrote in her report.
Dr. Allecia Wilson, who performed the second autopsy of George Floyd, also examined the Robbie Anderson case, and said a second autopsy should include posterior neck, spinal cord, and back dissections to identify additional trauma.
Brain tissue samples could also be recovered for microscopic analysis of concussive brain injury, the independent medical examiners said.
A diagnostic radiologist, Dr. Daniel Cousin, said the original imaging of Robbie was "not standard" and would be unable to rule out a skull fracture.
The reports from the independent medical examiners were compelling for Maple Grove Police, who support a second autopsy and will be on hand for the exhumation of the body to collect any trace evidence.
In a letter to the court, Detective Jim Kirkey said there is an "open and active investigation into the death of Robert Anderson."

"The Maple Grove Police Department’s position is that if an exhumation and second autopsy of Robert Anderson could uncover new evidence, then the police department supports the request," the letter said. | https://www.ktvu.com/news/body-to-be-exhumed-in-unexplained-death-of-maple-grove-teen | 2022-04-29T13:30:56Z | https://www.ktvu.com/news/body-to-be-exhumed-in-unexplained-death-of-maple-grove-teen | false | 11 |

ELKTON — A joint investigation by the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Secret Service is continuing, after a CCSO deputy confiscated nearly 900 fraudulent bank and prepaid gift cards and a small amount of suspect methamphetamine during a traffic stop near Elkton, police reported Tuesday.
Investigators identified the suspect in the card case as Amed Alejandro Leiva-Moreno, 27, of Hialeah, Fla. Leiva-Moreno was a front-seat passenger in a 2019 Infinity driven by Yerandy Jose Alvarez-Gill, 25, also of Florida resident, police said. Investigators charged Alvarez-Gill only with possession of drug paraphernalia, however, police added.
The investigation started at approximately 1 a.m. on Friday (April 22), when CCSO Deputy Caleb Griffitts stopped the Infinity in the northbound lane of Interstate 95 near Elkton for speeding, reported Lt. Michael Holmes, a CCSO spokesman.
Griffitts dispatched CCSO Cpl. Joseph Brewer to the traffic-stop scene, where the corporal’s specially trained scent dog, K9 Max, alerted to the presence of illegal drugs while performing a sniff-scan of the Infinity’s exterior, according to Holmes.
While searching Leiva-Moreno, investigators found a clear plastic baggie containing suspect methamphetamine in his left shoe and a clear-glass smoking device in the waistband of his pants, Holmes alleged.
“During a further search of the vehicle, deputies located two duffle bags that contained 897 pre-paid gift card and bank cards. Deputies observed that some of the cards were still in original packaging, while others were secured with rubber bands,” Holmes outlined.
Investigators also seized four cell phones and a laptop computer, after finding them where Leiva-Moreno had been seated, police said. In addition, police added, investigators confiscated a clear-glass smoking device that contained suspect methamphetamine residue, after finding that pipe in the driver’s door.
Griffitts arrested both suspects at the traffic-stop scene, police reported.
“The United States Secret Service was contacted and responded to the scene for further investigation. Using specialized equipment, the Secret Service was able to determine that the opened gift cards had been loaded with bank account numbers different than those displayed on the cards,” Holmes said.
Leiva-Moreno is charged with possession of counterfeit credit cards, which is a felony, and misdemeanor counts of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Cecil County District Court records. Leiva-Moreno remained in the Cecil County Detention on no bond Thursday, three days after his bail review hearing, court records show.
“Cecil County Sheriff’s Office investigators are still actively investigating this case with United States Secret Service personnel and more charges are expected,” Holmes told the Cecil Whig. | https://www.cecildaily.com/news/local_news/traffic-stop-near-elkton-nets-nearly-900-fake-credit-cards/article_77b9f175-183d-5336-8a68-31a4e6e164c5.html | 2022-04-29T13:34:04Z | https://www.cecildaily.com/news/local_news/traffic-stop-near-elkton-nets-nearly-900-fake-credit-cards/article_77b9f175-183d-5336-8a68-31a4e6e164c5.html | false | 1 |
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) batter Manish Pandey recently revealed what it's like to play under Gautam Gambhir, who is mentoring the side in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2022).
In a video shared by LSG on their social media handles, Manish Pandey mentioned that Gautam Gambhir is quite a serious character. Pandey added that he had shared the dressing room with the ex-India opener when they were a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders side (KKR).
Pandey suggested that players stay away from Gambhir during crunch situations. However, he stated that the former cricketer is always ready to help everyone in the team. Manish Pandey said:
"He's getting old now, honestly. We know that there's something behind those clothes. I played with him in KKR a couple of years ago and have hardly seen him smile. We got to be away from him when the times are tough. But he's always there with the team, helping the boys out. He's quite a serious guy."
On being asked about the discussions Indian players have regarding their bodies, Pandey revealed that it is generally about their abs. He further added that they also talk about body fat percentage and body mass index at times. Pandey said:
"It's mainly about the abs. They're loaded up with the muscles. But you know, the body fat and the percentage and the BMIs that we talk about normally."
Pandey hasn't had a great IPL so far. He has managed just 88 runs from his six appearances in this year's cash-rich league. The right-hander has an underwhelming strike rate of 110.00.
LSG to take on PBKS in the 42nd match of the season
The Lucknow-based side will square off against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 42nd match of IPL 2022. The much-awaited contest is set to be played at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Friday.
LSG currently occupy fourth place in the points table. They have secured five victories from their eight fixtures so far. PBKS, on the other hand, are placed seventh, with four wins and as many losses to their name.
The two star-studded sides are expected to go all guns blazing in their upcoming clash as they look to pick up two points at this critical juncture of the competition. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/news-ipl-2022-have-hardly-seen-smile-manish-pandey-lsg-mentor-gautam-gambhir | 2022-04-29T13:35:27Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/news-ipl-2022-have-hardly-seen-smile-manish-pandey-lsg-mentor-gautam-gambhir | false | 1 |

NASCAR driver Daniel Dye was recently arrested for reportedly punching a student in the groin at Florida High School on April 26.
The police report states that the victim was sitting in a chair when Dye approached him and started dancing and grinding with his groin and the pelvic area near his face. Although the victim tried to push him away with his left arm, Daniel continued to dance and grind in the boy’s face, only stopping after some time.
The victim thought it was over until Dye approached from behind and punched him in the groin. Dye’s classmate revealed he fell down and immediately rushed towards his home, from where his father took him to the hospital. He was diagnosed with a possible ruptured testicle and was asked to see a urologist.
Daniel was jailed at the Volusia County Branch Jail on a charge of felony battery. Even though he was released on a bail of $2,500, he has been suspended from NASCAR’s ARCA competition for violating the 2022 ARCA Rulebook Section 12-8.1.E.2.
GMS Racing issued a statement saying that Daniel and his family are cooperating with law enforcement authorities and no further comments will be made until detailed information is available.
Everything known about Daniel Dye
Born on December 4, 2003, Daniel Dye’s first race was the ARCA Menards Series East in 2020 where he drove the No. 43 for Ben Kennedy Racing. He took part in two races that season, retiring at New Smyrna Speedway and finishing seventh at Five Flags Speedway.
Dye returned in the 2021 season with a planned full-time ride with Ben Kennedy Racing. He competed in four among eight races and switched teams. He raced the No. 21 for GMS Racing in the last four races of the season.
He then participated in the ARCA Menards Series West at Phoenix Raceway, driving the No. 22 for GMS Racing and finishing 12th. He ran in Phoenix in a companion event with the ARCA Menards series and finished second in 2022.
The 18-year-old ran a part-time schedule in the ARCA Menards Series in 2021 with GMS Racing and drove the No. 21 with his full-time schedule in the ARCA Menards Series East. He participated in six races in the 2021 season.
After finishing seventh in his debut at the 2021 Menards 250, he dominated the Berlin Raceway in the 2021 Zinsser SmartCoat 200 and won the ARCA Menards Series. Daniel’s father Randy Dye is a former Pro Late Model driver and has served on The NASCAR Foundation’s board of directors since July 2017.
Following his Pro Late Model debut in 2018, Daniel created the Race to Stop Suicide campaign in collaboration with The NASCAR Foundation and Halifax Health. He also donated $15,000 to Halifax Health’s mental health programs at the age of 15. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/news-who-daniel-dye-teen-nascar-driver-arrested-allegedly-punching-classmate-groin | 2022-04-29T13:39:01Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/news-who-daniel-dye-teen-nascar-driver-arrested-allegedly-punching-classmate-groin | true | 1 |

MADRID (AP) — The president of the Spanish rugby federation will resign from his job after the national team lost its place at next year's Rugby World Cup for fielding an ineligible player.
Alfonso Feijoo said Friday he would step down when the appeal process is completed. He also said the federation will seek to punish those involved in the case after copies of South Africa-born front-rower Gavin van der Berg's passport were altered to make him eligible.
The federation said it was also taking action against the Spanish club where Van der Berg played.
Feijoo spoke to the media a day after World Rugby sanctioned Spain with the loss of 10 points in qualifying for using an ineligible player, consequently taking away the national team’s spot at next year’s World Cup in France. Spain was going to make its second World Cup appearance, and first since 1999.
“We are responsible but not guilty,” Feijoo said. “We lost in the offices a place that we earned on the field.”
The federation has 14 days to appeal the decision by World Rugby but was not optimistic with its chances.
Several national team players released a statement complaining about the Spanish federation for what happened.
Feijoo said the federation was “deceived” by being given the forged copies of Van der Berg's passport, and that World Rugby and the European rugby federation also didn’t see the irregularity.
The federation opened disciplinary proceedings against the player’s club, Alcobendas, which faced fines and relegation in the local league. Local authorities were involved and a criminal investigation was likely.
The federation said the Copa del Rey rugby final that was going to be played Sunday at La Cartuja Stadium in Seville has been postponed.
Van der Berg made his debut with Spain in December in a 52-7 win over the Netherlands in Amsterdam in the Rugby Europe Championship, which also doubled as World Cup qualifying. Van der Berg was a second-half substitute and scored a try. He also was a second-half replacement when Spain beat the Netherlands 43-0 in February Madrid.
Van der Berg arrived in Spain in 2018 and had to live in the country for three years to qualify on residency before making his debut. But he reportedly returned to South Africa for four months in 2019 and went back there again during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
It was the second straight Rugby World Cup qualifying that Spain has become embroiled in controversy. In 2018, Spain, Romania and Belgium were sanctioned for fielding ineligible players and Russia advanced to the 2019 World Cup in Japan.
Spain was also fined 25,000 pounds ($31,100) on Thursday, and the independent judicial committee convened by World Rugby said the suspended sanction of 50,000 pounds ($62,100) related to the previous eligibility breach would now be payable.
In its only previous World Cup appearance, Spain was based in Scotland and lost all three of its pool games to Uruguay, South Africa and Scotland.

Police arrest man for being in possession of severed head of a child
Ogun State Police Command, has confirmed the arrest of one Lukman Kushimo otherwise known as Werepe, for being in possession of the severed head of a child hidden.
According to the police spokesperson, Kushimo was seen coming out from Oke-Yidi Cemetery with a sack in his hand by So-Safe officials who were on routine patrol at Lantoro area of Abeokuta.
Oyeyemi said the corps stopped the suspect, and searched him. In the process, the severed head of a child was found in the sack he was carrying.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the little child’s corpse was brought to the Cemetery for burial through the help of the suspect who later came back to sever the head,” the Police spokesperson added.
Oyeyemi added that the victim’s parents, who live in Ibadan, Oyo State, had pleaded with the suspect to help them bury her in the cemetery.
The PPRO explained that the parents were returning from a Federal Medical Center (FMC), where the deceased who battled kidney disease was taken to for treatment, and when they handed over the corpse of their child for Kushimo to bury.
But surprisingly, the suspect decided to cut off the head of the child to sell-off after his accomplice told him that he needed it.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) – In September, Samuel Rivera Lopez was approved for Washington County Rental Assistance.
However, since then, Rivera Lopez says he hasn’t personally seen a dollar.
Due to the lack of payment, his landlord tried to evict him.
“So it was either pay $3,000 or give up everything,” says Rivera Lopez.
Washington County says the lack of payment was due to miss filling.
“You had to make so many attempts to contact a landlord. When you got to the end of that point, you could say yeah, the landlord is clearly not going to participate, you can now get money from the ERA program,” says Washington County attorney Brian Lester.
Lester was able to confirm that after the eviction moratorium was filed, the county was able to release funds to cover his rent till June.
However, that money will not cover his late a and legal fees, leaving Rivera Lopez frustrated with the process.
“People shouldn’t have to beg to be dignified; that just doesn’t make sense,” says Rivera Lopez.
Lester says they’ve been doing the best they can, reaching out to landlords as often as they can.
If you’re also having an issue receiving Washington County Rental Assistance funds, the best thing you can do is reach out to them directly. | https://www.nwahomepage.com/northwest-arkansas-news/washington-county-resident-having-a-tough-time-getting-rental-assistance/ | 2022-04-29T13:50:24Z | https://www.nwahomepage.com/northwest-arkansas-news/washington-county-resident-having-a-tough-time-getting-rental-assistance/ | true | 2 |

The Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario's Response to Ontario's 2022 Spring Budget
TORONTO, April 29, 2022 /CNW/ - On behalf of the Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario (AFHTO) members across the province, AFHTO welcomes the investments in home care, mental health care, and health human resources in the 2022 Ontario Budget, Ontario's Plan to Build.
The investments will help strengthen the critical areas of home care and mental health care in our health system and expand access to care. AFHTO also recognizes that the government understands the need to invest in the health care workforce, while building the health human resources workforce of the future, specifically in underserviced communities. However, the challenges in primary and community care remain significant given lower funding and salary limits. AFHTO continues to urge the Ontario government to expand access and funding to team-based primary care to provide comprehensive care for Ontarians.
"Home care and mental health need substantial rebuilding, and we commend the government for these investments," said Kavita Mehta, Chief Executive Officer, AFHTO. "But seniors managing multiple conditions and medicines, people suffering from mental health challenges, and parents caring for children with chronic conditions need an integrated primary care team that can work hand-in-hand with patients to provide comprehensive and coordinated care. It is time to ensure every Ontarian who needs it has access to team-based primary care."
Only one in four Ontarians have access to team-based primary care, which offers more timely access to care, better coordination of care, and cost savings for the health system. An investment in team-based primary care – something the government has not committed to in recent years – is an investment in better seniors' care, improving access to mental health care, and improving health outcomes.
AFHTO is calling on the government to invest an additional $75 million per year for the next 10 years in team-based primary care. The healthcare system is complex, each patient's needs are unique, and a team approach meets these needs. Without access to team-based primary care when needed, too many people fall through the cracks, negatively impacting their health and increasing costs to our healthcare system.
"Evidence shows it can cost the province three times more to care for a patient who is unable to access high-quality team-based care. Yet only one in four Ontarians have access to an interprofessional care team," said Clarys Tirel, President & Chair, AFHTO. "Interprofessional primary care teams are there for populations that need support the most – regardless of where they live – such as seniors, those dealing with mental health challenges, and people with chronic illnesses. When it comes to better access to care, it takes a team. We need further investments in team-based primary care."
Along with our partners in primary and community care, AFHTO will continue to work with the Ontario government, and all political parties heading into the 2022 Ontario election, to ensure that our health system provides access to team-based primary care for every person who needs it.
