How these Northern California beekeepers are keeping their hives in business during the drought
North Bay resorts will be abuzz with more than summer revelers in the next few months, with some hotels creating an oasis of habitats for honeybees trying to survive yet another year of drought.
For decades, it’s been tough for the super pollinators that have endured parasites, pesticides, weather extremes and urbanization. But with the help from the finer digs in the Wine Country like the Fairmont Sonoma and Montage Healdsburg, the hope among North Bay beekeepers is a bumper crop of honey awaits — even with fewer flowers expected to provide nectar and pollen.
“With drought, the flowers are not maintaining the blooms and it weakens (the bees’) collection (of nectar),” said Sonoma County beekeeper Candice Koseba. “We don’t see as many. I think it’s tougher for bees to make it through the winter. We’re going to see more colony die-off from disease and other stressors.”
That also makes a beekeeper’s job tougher to maintain these little, special workhorses of the insect kingdom.
Beekeepers like Koseba — who’s based in Healdsburg — have turned to luxury hotels as a means to protect the pollinators from the elements by setting up hives as bee “boxes” in the rich flora found in higher-scale resorts.
Resorts in the Wine Country use the honey in their restaurants, spas and shops as a natural, farm-fresh ingredient to eat or heal from. The beekeepers split the bounty of honey and often remain on retainer to tend to the hives. Koseba charges at least $200 per hive, with a two-hive minimum and extra surcharge if the locations are difficult to get to. She locally sources the bees by capturing wild swarms, like a recent call that came from the owner of a horse farm in Windsor in Sonoma County.
At the Montage resort, where rooms among the 130 bungalows start at $1,345, “bee lining” has been added to the list of activities, along with cycling, kayaking and fitness sessions as well as winery, museum and art gallery tours. The bee educational event provides an apiary journey hosted by Koseba’s Sonoma County Bee Company. The Montage represents one of 19 apiaries she services. The chef-turned-bee-whisperer of sorts started tending to the Montage hives in June 2019, the year she began her business venture.
As the latest improvement, Koseba transferred one colony of bees from one hive to a hollowed-out tree log last Friday to accommodate the bees on the 258-acre grounds. Guests may walk by on the path and read a sign with an excerpt about the bee habitat.
The Montage uses the honey lifted from the combs in its spa, sells Sonoma County Bee Co. products in its shop and provides the restaurant chef with the natural sweetener.
“I speak the language of chef,” said Koseba, who hails from northwest Indiana in a long line of canners, picklers and farmers. She made her mark as a trained chef at the Single Thread restaurant in Healdsburg, before transforming her position to culinary liaison, then “forager” who outsources food ingredients.
Along the way, she became fascinated with the bee world, thus starting her own beekeeping business. The business has grown by 20% each year. She nets between $3,000 and $6,000 a month from the multi-faceted brand that also involves honey tastings in a kit. They went virtual during the pandemic.
Overall, Koseba does not fear reinventing herself or her business as she admits she’s constantly learning about the activity.
To expand her knowledge, Koseba took classes with the California School of Herbal Studies out of Forestville. She even made a beekeeping trip to Kenya to learn about African beekeepers’ tricks of the trade.
Spring presents the busiest season for Koseba, conducting maintenance on the various bee colonies and receiving calls about rogue beehives. The responsibility bears down, but Koseba takes the burden in stride.
“I just want them to survive,” she said. “Tending to their hives gives me great joy. I feel quite responsible.”
Koseba advocates for more public education on these extraordinary creatures that seem to have their own language. One such example is the rarely-seen “waggle” dance in which a honey bee may tell others where to find nectar, pollen or water.
Beeing alive in a rural and urban landscape
Honey bees have found friends in low and high places alike.
Over a decade ago, the Fairmont San Francisco signed on with American Canyon-based Marshall’s Farm to tend to the major hotel’s rooftop gardens as one in several worldwide locations in its efforts to support the dwindling populations through the years. The hotel uses the several hundred pounds of honey it produces from the 1,000-square-foot culinary garden’s hives in its restaurant’s soups, salad dressings and pastries as part of its sustainable cuisine offerings. It also uses the harvested honey for its guests to enjoy with afternoon tea and in featured, locally-brewed beers. | https://www.petaluma360.com/article/north-bay/how-these-northern-california-beekeepers-are-keeping-their-hives-in-busines/ | 2022-04-30T21:49:57Z | https://www.petaluma360.com/article/north-bay/how-these-northern-california-beekeepers-are-keeping-their-hives-in-busines/ | true | 3 |

The terrifying news of a 14-year-old girl who went missing on 16th April after she went out of her house to throw garbage sparked a massive outcry in the country. Be it electronic, print or on social media, everyone in their domain tried to raise the issue and help Dua’s parents in this difficult time.
It was because of these efforts the incident got the attention of the LEAs. For almost 10 days, till the news broke out that the girl had left the home of her own will and married a boy from Lahore, everyone on social media showed sympathy for the girl and her parents, prayed for them and hoped for her safe recovery.
But since then, the opinion of social media users started to divide. And, the very next day when the video statement of Dua emerged, it quickly garnered negative criticism from a number of social media users.
Many social media users were quick to find loopholes in Dua’s character, shortcomings in her upbringing and the fault of her parents. They started to share the news with their own twist as if they were waiting for this to happen.
Numerous names were shared, jokes were made and stories were developed.
Had these types of games been banned in time the situation might have been different. People should learn from this incident instead of blaming the girl or her parents and take measures to prevent any such incident in future. With the truth still to be found, the judgements passed on the girl’s character must have hurt her parents severely
On the contrary, many kind-hearted users just focused on the fact that the child is safe and alive and prayed that everything goes well for the family.
In the space of only two days, the missing child, her parents and all those who interviewed them or helped them through their social media platforms turned from “heroes” to “villains”.
In the last couple of days, many supported Dua and her parents, some pointed fingers at her character and her upbringing by her parents, and a few remained silent, but the story is still incomplete and many questions are still to be answered.
Currently, the case has three aspects to look at. Dua’s parents’ point of view, her point of view, and the findings of the investigative agencies.
Dua’s parents claim that the child is under influence and not speaking the truth. They claim that the child is below 18 years of age and is only 14 years old. They have presented all legal documents including B-form and passport etc to strengthen their claim. On the other hand, Dua claims that she is 18 years of age and her parents are sharing false information.
These are two different views and only a free and fair investigation can reveal the truth. Amid the confusion, how Lahore Model Town Court allowed the girl to go with her husband must have further derailed the hopes of her parents to get her back.
Having said that, one very clear thing is that the parents of the girl are facing a tough situation. They are going through a terrible time. That their daughter is not near them for the last 12-13 days, they must be in grief and pain on one hand and facing questions from friends, relatives and society on the other hand.
No one wants to be in the situation they are in right now. And anyone with a kind heart can feel their pain.
But, there are few ill-minded people who make fun of other problems. They call it freedom of speech.
Making fun of someone else’s miseries and problems in the name of freedom of speech is a shame, a disgrace and an expression of an apathetic and ill mindset.
It might be easy for someone sitting comfortably in his home to open his social media account and pass a derogatory remark on her character, judge her character or blame her parents but the pain this act gives is not imaginable.
Many people are trying to comfort Dua’s parents and opposing the ill-minded users on social media but one such insane person can spoil the efforts of all others.
The final outcome of the case is still to come but still, people are passing judgements and creating stories of their own.
This inhuman and disgusting attitude reveals the ill-minded people in our society that are a source of shame for the whole country.
In situations like these everyone should try to heal the ones with problems in every possible way. Instead of creating further problems for them.
For a moment, if it is believed to be true that she has married of her own will the situation becomes even more difficult for her family.
Here we should keep in mind that there are several criminal mafias active in Pakistan which are involved in human smuggling. It might be possible that due to the pressure of social media and a successful joint venture of all Law Enforcing Agencies, the Court Marriage drama had been staged for face-saving. It is a very critical time for a kidnapped girl and her family. Any mishap can happen during this time. So, instead of the blame game, we should struggle to unearth those mafias and criminals who might be behind these activities.
The grieved family needs more love and support because no parent would ever want this fate for a child, especially a daughter, or their family.
Instead of pointing fingers at them, everyone should try to find out who is responsible for this? Are they only responsible? Is our whole society not responsible?
Online games have resulted in many destructive events in the past. For example, most recently a boy killed his family members thinking that it was a game.
Had these types of games been banned in time the situation might have been different. People should learn from this incident instead of blaming the girl or her parents and take measures to prevent any such incident in future. With the truth still to be found, the judgements passed on the girl’s character must have hurt her parents severely. | https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2022/05/01/support-rather-than-poke-fun/ | 2022-04-30T21:54:30Z | https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2022/05/01/support-rather-than-poke-fun/ | false | 1 |

SAN DIEGO (KSWB) — A pelican plopped down in front of an airliner on the taxiway at San Diego International Airport Thursday, prompting a brief standoff that ended with the bird flying off unharmed.
The unusual encounter happened around 1:30 p.m. as a Horizon Air E-175 tried to taxi to the runway for departure. The outbound plane, headed for Everett, Washington, came to a halt when the pilots noticed a feathered obstacle.
“Sir, you’re not going to believe this but we are unable (to proceed) because of a pelican sitting here on the taxiway,” a pilot tells air traffic control in audio recorded by the crew on FOX 5’s newsgathering helicopter. “And he’s not moving.”
The pilot reasoned the bird might be hurt. The standoff continued for a few minutes, with the pilot checking back in at one point.
“Tower, did you say you were sending airport ops to get the pelican?” the aviator asked, perhaps a touch sheepishly. The tower assured him that help was on the way.

A short time later, an airport SUV drove right up to the pelican, video from SkyFOX showed. The SUV stopped just short of the bird, which at first appeared unperturbed. The SUV slowly rolled farther, closing in on the bird, which suddenly spread its wings and flew off without further incident.
“It was not injured; however I was told it was a bit reluctant to leave,” airport spokesperson Sabrina LoPiccolo later told FOX 5 by email. “A member of our airside operations team responded to the taxiway to encourage the pelican to move which it eventually did. There was a bit of a plane backup, but everything is back to normal.”

Here is a 2022 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the Philadelphia Eagles:
Round 1 (No. 13 overall, from Browns through Texans) – Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia: Philly offloads some mid-round picks to Houston to come up two spots for Davis, perhaps the best-known player from the Bulldogs’ epic 2021 defense. A 6-6, 341-pound All-American who somehow ran a 4.78 40 at the combine, Davis can crush a pocket and is an elite run stuffer. Philadelphia will need such an anchor with DTs Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave headed for free agency next year. Draft tracker
Round 2 (51) – Cam Jurgens, C, Nebraska: A highly athletic 6-3, 303-pound pivot who probably apprentices for a year behind Jason Kelce before taking over in the middle. Draft tracker
Round 3 (83) – Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia: Apparently, a pectoral injury contributed to the slide for the 5-11, 229-pound Butkus Award winner. Dean is a smart, instinctive, first-rate leader whose tape should trump perceived physical limitations. Also a good blitzer, he had six sacks for the national champs in 2021. Dean reunites with DT Jordan Davis in Philadelphia. Draft tracker
Round 6 (181, from Lions) – Kyron Johnson, LB, Kansas
Round 6 (198, from Steelers through Jaguars) – Grant Calcaterra, TE, SMU
Philadelphia Eagles’ last five top draft picks:
-
2021 (No. 10 overall): DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama
-
2020 (No. 21 overall): Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU
-
2019 (No. 22 overall): Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State
-
2018 (No. 49 overall): Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota State
-
2017 (No. 14 overall): Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee

Drysdale notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.
Despite some growing pains, Drysdale put together a solid rookie year with four goals and 28 assists in 81 appearances. The defenseman also had 137 shots on net, 72 blocked shots and a minus-26 rating in a top-four role. He's got the talent to be a productive scorer at the NHL level, but he'll need to take strides defensively in 2022-23 -- no easy task on a Ducks team likely to still be rebuilding for another season or two. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/ducks-jamie-drysdale-puts-up-assist-in-loss/ | 2022-04-30T22:12:20Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/ducks-jamie-drysdale-puts-up-assist-in-loss/ | true | null |
Police minister Poto Williams says the recent spike in youth crime is distressing and requires a "whole of society" approach to solve.
It comes after Children's Commissioner Judge Frances Eivers told the Herald on Sunday the Government must step in after at least 45 children or teenagers have allegedly been behind eight crimes such as break-ins and ram raids reported over the school holidays.
Twenty-three people are facing charges in the District Court or Youth Court, or have been referred to Youth Aid. The other half are still on the run.
"There is no doubt the recent spate of crime involving young people is distressing," Williams said.

Advertise with NZME."But this is an issue that goes much wider than police and needs a whole-of-society approach."
Williams referenced work, co-sponsored by police and the Ministry of Social Development, on behalf of the social sector on gangs that included a youth focus.
"The work on youth is specifically drawing on things that work well, such as the Youth Gang Action Plan, and what we know about why youth join/undertake gang activity."
In the past two years, 109 new police staff had been employed to work in the youth space.
The holidays started with two teenage boys being seriously assaulted during a party at a Remuera home on the Thursday before Easter and ended yesterday with a group of youths ram raiding an Icebreaker clothing store near Auckland Airport.
Eivers said whānau struggling with the cost of living, the impact of Covid-19 and rangatahi not being at school, or kids being at a loose end could be behind the crime wave.
Oranga Tamariki has said most of those involved in the recent spike are children it is already working with.
"Imagine if you come from a family where there isn't much money, where there isn't any food in the cupboard, where dad might be in prison, or there's domestic violence," Eivers said.

Advertise with NZME.Despite these crimes happening during the school holidays, she suspected the young people involved had not been at school for a long time.
The Government was set to announce a package to tackle stubbornly high truancy levels. More than 40 per cent of students do not go to school regularly - an increase of 10 percentage points since 2015, and there are huge disparities for Māori and Pacific children and lower-income households.
Eivers said these children deserved the opportunity to thrive, rather than be put on a path to prison.
She said the Government needed to direct community leaders to work together with the likes of iwi, local police officers, and Oranga Tamariki social workers to find a solution.
And affected communities needed to ask was how these young people ended up in such a position, Eivers said. She said it was hard enough being a teenager at the best of times.
Over the past two weeks young teens allegedly broke into cars on Kāpiti Coast, a 7-year-old was involved with a break-in at a Hamilton shopping centre, and a group drove through an Auckland mall, ram raiding stores.

Advertise with NZME.Three people holding hammers allegedly ran out of a Grey Lynn dairy late one night and into a car with a 12-year-old girl in the driver's seat. The vehicle later slid into a tree. Police found a duffel bag full of stolen cigarettes.
Eivers acknowledged those involved needed to be held accountable for their actions but she said the answer wasn't about punishing them.
"We don't want this happening and we don't want this sort of offending to continue."
Assistant Police Commissioner Richard Chambers said the reasons young people were involved in these types of crimes were complex.
He said contributing factors included children being disengaged from schooling and their families, social media influence and the value of stolen goods.
Chambers said the issue wasn't new and pointed to a spike in recent months of young people involved in such crimes in areas of the country including Tāmaki Makaurau and Waikato.

A woman has been airlifted to hospital in critical condition after the car she was driving collided with a lorry this morning.
The two-vehicle collision occurred on the Ballyjamesduff Road in the townland of Rathcronan, Granard, Co Longford at approximately 10.30am.
All three occupants of the car sustained injuries, while the male driver of the lorry, aged in his late 20s, was uninjured.
The female driver of the car, aged in her early 40s, was removed by air ambulance to Tallaght University Hospital where her condition is described as critical.
Two passengers in the car were meanwhile taken to Cavan General Hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.
The road was closed this morning while Garda forensic collision investigators conducted a technical examination of the scene, and it has since reopened.

The International Federation of Women Lawyers, FIDA, has disclosed plans for the association to offer free legal services to eight female inmates serving various terms in the Correctional facility.
The FIDA Chairperson, Kano branch, Barr. Bilkisu Suleiman who dropped the hint said the inmates were imprisoned for minor cases such as debt, stealing and fighting.
Barr. Suleiman made this known shortly after leading women from the religious organization on excursion to the Goron Dutse Correctional facility in Kano.
She said the essence of the excursion visit to the facility was to sensitize and expose them to life inside the prison facility in order to be responsible persons in the society and not to ferment trouble that could lead them to imprisonment.
According to her, “As part of our schedule on monthly basis to decongest the facility, we (FIDA) are ready to offer free legal services or representation to 8 female inmates. Their cases were taken into consideration. It is mostly issues of debt, stolen property and fighting.
“This is not the first time we are rendering such assistance. We help inmates who can’t afford legal representation.
“Already, 3 cases out of these 8 are to be addressed by some of our vibrant members today.
“We were also on excursion visit to the facility with women from Islamiyya school where lectures were delivered on the importance of woman in the society as a daughter, mother, wife, sister.
“They are expected to be a role model as well as a law-abiding citizen in order to be able to discharge their responsibilities effectively and avoid committing crimes that could lead them to be imprisoned.
“At the same time, guidelines on how they could safeguard their children from being victims of sexual assault were also discussed. And lastly, they were intimated on ways to handle victims of sexual assault and where to refer the cases to.
“We also used the avenue to donate items such as toiletries, dresses, cubes to the inmates courtesy of our members and women from H Hafsa Islamiyya behind Murtala Mosque,” Barr. Suleiman however stated. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/04/8-kano-female-inmates-to-get-free-legal-service/ | 2022-04-30T22:39:12Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/04/8-kano-female-inmates-to-get-free-legal-service/ | true | 1 |
American Heritage graduate and Jackson State linebacker James Houston IV is heading to The Motor City after being selected by the Detroit Lions in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
The Lions picked Houston with the 217th selection in Las Vegas on Saturday, making him the third player who competed in high school football in South Florida taken in the draft. He follows Benjamin cornerback Kaiir Elam (23rd selection) and St. Thomas Aquinas linebacker Nik Bonitto (64th).
Houston IV, listed at 6 feet 1 and 241 pounds, played his senior season with the Tigers after transferring from the University of Florida. He finished his only year with Jackson State with 70 tackles, 16.5 sacks, seven forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, one interception and two defensive touchdowns. Those efforts earned him first-team All-SWAC honors.
In his stint with the Gators, Houston IV logged 103 tackles, 4.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and one blocked punt. He played four years at American Heritage prior to that and won three state championships with the Patriots, including in his senior season in 2016 under coach Patrick Surtain.

With the 198th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select ... Grant Calcaterra, tight end, SMU.
Calcaterra has an interesting background, so let’s throw it right to a scouting report via NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein:
An athletic tight end with quality ball skills and receiving acumen, Calcaterra has a concussion history that will be flagged by some teams. He retired from football in 2019 and spent 2020 preparing to become a firefighter before transferring to SMU, where he showed he still had it as a two-level pass-catcher. He plays with good football IQ versus zone coverage but might benefit from more pattern breaks to help him uncover against tight man coverage. He won’t make a difference as a blocker so he needs to shine as a pass-catching threat. The medical evaluations will be the biggest determining factor in where he might be drafted.
Calcaterra is a bit on the older side considering he’ll be entering his age 24 season as a rookie. Older prospect ... firefighter ... is this Danny Watkins redux?! (No, clearly not. Way worse to spend a first-round pick like that.)
Calcaterra actually briefly overlapped with Jalen Hurts at Oklahoma in 2019. Calcaterra caught five receptions for 79 yards (15.8 average) from him in a very small sample size. Now the two are reunited in Philly.
With Dallas Goedert entrenched as the Eagles’ top tight end, Calcaterra will be competing for the TE2 spot at best. He’ll be competing against the likes of Jack Stoll, Richard Rodgers, and Noah Togiai. The Birds also have Tyree Jackson in the mix, though he could be poised to start the season on the PUP list after tearing his ACL in January.
One might’ve thought the Eagles would’ve been looking for a tight end with better run blocking chops for their offense. But maybe they figure that much can come with time? Or they’re just intrigued with the pass-catching ability and they don’t care about his blocking.
Given that Calcaterra has already walked away once, his commitment to football moving forward bears monitoring.

Eagles desperately needed a pass catching tight end behind Goedert.

ST. MARY’S CITY, Maryland — While English colonists who arrived in the New World were looking for greater opportunities, many of the Catholic colonists who arrived in Maryland also were looking to escape religious persecution.
Historic St. Mary’s City, a living history museum in southern Maryland, keeps the story of those Catholic colonists alive while its archaeologists are still digging up clues to the past.
In 1634, the ships the Ark and the Dove landed on the shores of Maryland carrying more than 100 English Catholics and Protestants, led by the Catholic Leonard Calvert. The newcomers settled in a fort before gradually building up St. Mary’s City, a metropolis in southern Maryland that would serve as the colony’s first capital.
For decades, religious tolerance for Christians was the law of the land. But the colonists weren’t free of the political and religious strife that rocked society in Europe. In the late 1680s, England’s Glorious Revolution replaced a Catholic ruler with the staunchly Protestant King William and Queen Mary. Soon, Maryland was no longer controlled by the Catholic Calvert family but instead became a royal colony where the Church of England was the state religion.
In 1695, Francis Nicholson, the royal governor, moved the capital to Annapolis, a more centrally located city where fewer Catholics lived. St. Mary’s City became a shell of its former self, and the site of that original fort was lost to history.
Fortunately, archaeology has helped uncover much of the old city’s mysteries over the past few decades. “There was no map of St. Mary’s City, other than one map with no street layouts, no buildings, no nothing,” said Peter Friesen, director of education at the living history museum. “It’s through the 50 years of archaeology that we were able to figure out where a lot of these buildings are that we’ve reconstructed.”
One of those buildings is a Catholic church. The first group of colonists to come to Maryland included Jesuit Fathers Andrew White and John Altham, and other priests followed over the years. At first, they used an old witchott, a type of Native American dwelling, to celebrate Mass, then a wooden chapel, then a cruciform brick chapel with windows and a stone floor. But the building survived for only a few decades.
In 1704, the Maryland legislature passed the “Act to Prevent the Growth of Popery,” which banned Catholics from voting or holding office, taxed them twice and only allowed them to worship in their homes.
The St. Mary’s City sheriff locked the brick chapel so that it could no longer be used for worship. “Then the Jesuits (took) the chapel apart brick by brick and used the bricks to rebuild a different chapel on private property that they owned at St. Inigoes, which is five, six miles south of (St. Mary’s City) and is now part of a (military) base,” said Friesen.
To replace the loss of churches, Catholics began to add “Mass rooms” to their homes, and several are still in existence, including one at the Doughoregan Manor near Ellicott City.
The foundation of the original brick chapel was discovered in 1938 and more than 50 years later was extensively excavated by archaeologists. The chapel was rebuilt in the style of other Jesuit churches of the time.
Though the historians were learning more about the colonial town, one thing remained elusive: the location of the original fort.
Their more than 50-year search often was sidetracked by other discoveries, such as the uncovering of three lead coffins buried in one of the transepts of the brick chapel. But last year, Historic St. Mary’s City announced they had finally found the fort after a geophysicist used magnetometry, ground-penetrating radar and other technology to identify the post holes of the fort’s walls. Excavation has helped them learn more about life inside the fort, and has uncovered Catholic artifacts.
A silver crucifix, rosary beads and a medal of Aloysius Gonzaga, a future Jesuit saint, all were discovered at Historic St. Mary’s. Two identical medals were found, one inside the fort, of five saints who were canonized by Pope Gregory XV in 1622: St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Philip Neri, and St. Isidore the Farmer, who stands in the center holding a farming tool.
“Medals like this were becoming very popular in the 17th century as a consequence of multiple things,” said Jennifer Ogborne, curator of collections. “People wanted items of devotion they could carry with them as part of the Counter-Reformation. It became much easier to make them in the late 16th and early 17th centuries so they could be produced for a wider audience.”
One of the latest discoveries from the fort site is a small metal Caravaca cross. For centuries, pilgrims have visited the Spanish town of Caravaca to venerate a piece of the true cross. The relic is displayed in a cross with two horizontal bars, and the artifact has the same shape. There is still lots to learn about the tiny devotional object that was plucked from the Maryland dirt, said Ogborne. “We are very excited about that cross.”
Historic St. Mary’s City explores more than just religious history. Visitors can see a tobacco farm, a replica of the Dove, the ship that brought the colonists, and models of period Native American homes.
But for Catholics and other people of faith, St. Mary’s City is notable for its radical commitment to religious tolerance. The ideals the early colonists espoused lived on. Within 100 years of Maryland’s legal penalization of Catholics, the First Amendment enshrined freedom of religion as a fundamental American right.

Healthy Warriors ready for semifinals vs. young Grizzlies
Splash Brothers Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have the Golden State Warriors in their seventh Western Conference semifinal in 10 seasons, and both finally are as healthy as they've been since reaching five straight NBA Finals from 2015-19.
The Canadian Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Splash Brothers Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have the Golden State Warriors in their seventh Western Conference semifinal in 10 seasons, and both finally are as healthy as they've been since reaching five straight NBA Finals from 2015-19.
That remarkable run started when the Warriors rallied from a 2-1 deficit in the second round against Memphis in 2015, marking a big switch in the direction for both franchises.
Ja Morant has the rebuilt Grizzlies back in the West semis for the first time in seven years. The dynamic guard leads a young, brash and deep roster that edged out Golden State for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference with the NBA's best record behind only Phoenix.
And Memphis can't wait to see how it matches up with the veteran-led, playoff-tested Warriors.
“We feel like we are one of the best backcourts in the league as well,” Morant said. “So, going into any matchup, we’re taking ourselves over anybody. We’re very confident. We put in the work.”
The third-seeded Warriors, rested with three days off since ousting Denver on Wednesday night, know what they want starting Sunday afternoon in Game 1.
“We've been around the block, and we’re trying to get back to the mountaintop and understand the opportunity in front of us,” Curry said Saturday before the Warriors left San Francisco.
The last time these teams met on the playoff stage in 2015, Memphis jumped out to a 2-1 lead. The Warriors found their turning point after that and went on to win the series in six games on their way to capturing the franchise's first championship in 40 years.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr calls this a “role reversal” with the Warriors the younger team then and now the more experienced group with four main players still around from that title squad. And yes, Kerr believes postseason runs help teams forge an identity.
“Memphis is in a similar boat now gaining that experience, feeling what it's like to be on the road and trailing in the fourth quarter, and they've done a really good job of advancing and getting to this stage and now it continues,” Kerr said. “The more experience you get, the better.”
Memphis earned the No. 8 seed a year ago after beating San Antonio, then going on the road to beat the Warriors in the play-in tournament. The Grizzlies took three of four in the regular season with Thompson playing only once, Draymond Green playing two and Curry averaging 36.3 points in his three games.
Curry scored at least 30 points in his last two games and three of four coming off the bench in all but Game 5 against the Nuggets to protect his tender left foot. Thompson is thrilled to be back in the playoffs after his 2 1/2-year recovery from surgeries for a torn ACL in his left knee and a torn right Achilles.
“Now that we are finally nearly whole, it’s such a great playoffs again and we look forward to the next round,” Thompson said.
COMEBACK GRIZZLIES
The Grizzlies are still playing because they play their best in the final 12 minutes. They’re the first team in NBA history to post multiple comeback victories when trailing by double digits going into the fourth quarter, and they did it three times ousting Minnesota.
They outscored Minnesota 198-136 in the final quarter, finishing the series with a 40-22 edge in the fourth of Game 6. The Grizzlies ended the game on a 17-7 run. The Grizzlies not only lead the NBA scoring 33 points in the fourth quarter this postseason, they also top the league in that quarter making 45.3% of their 3s.
IN THE PAINT
The Warriors believe they can defend any big man after getting past Denver star Nikola Jokic in the first round – even if the 7-foot reigning MVP averaged 31 points, 13.2 rebounds and 5.8 assists over the five-game series.
Now, Golden State gets to take on a Memphis squad that led the NBA in rebounding during the regular season — and only Milwaukee has hit the boards better so far in the postseason with the Grizzlies averaging 46.3 rebounds per game.
Green and Kevon Looney handled the defensive load against Jokic with help from everyone like guards Gary Payton II, Thompson and even Curry. The next challenge on the low block is Xavier Tillman and Brandon Clarke with Steven Adams — the league's top rebounder on the offensive boards — still out in the health and safety protocols.
TALKING 3s
Memphis finally has a 3-point shooter this franchise has been looking for in Desmond Bane who set the franchise record for most 3s made. Since Nov. 18, he has been the NBA’s best 3-point shooter at 45.9%, and now he has Memphis' postseason mark with 27 3s in six games to lead this postseason.
Morant called Bane the MVP of Memphis' first-round win over Minnesota.
Right behind him?
Thompson is making 4.4 3-pointers per game with Curry at 3.8.
POOLE'S PRESENCE
While Jordan Poole’s five games in the first round were his first formal playoff games, Kerr considers last year's play-in games with the Grizzlies quite an introduction for the third-year guard to the big stage.
He started along with Curry and Thompson in the Warriors’ clinching Game 5 win against the Nuggets. Poole averaged 21 points against Denver, shooting 51.9% from beyond the arc to give Golden State yet another perimeter threat and matchup problem.

Around the beginning of the 21st century, the world economy entered a new development cycle, and the demand for oil and natural gas resources around the world has skyrocketed. In the face of this huge energy demand, people are beginning to pay more attention to unconventional oil and natural gas resources. Coalbed methane (CBM) is a gas resource associated and symbiotic with coal. CBM is mainly hydrocarbon gas adsorbed on the pore surface of coal matrix and partially freed in pores or dissolved in water. It is, as an associated mineral resource of coal, a clean, high-quality energy and chemical raw material. It is well-known that the burial depth of CBM reservoirs ranges from hundreds of meters to several thousand meters, and its gas-liquid-solid interaction mechanism is complex. So, it is often necessary to obtain the fluid-coal information by means of, for example, acoustic logging. At present, many scholars have carried out the acoustic research on the fluid-coal system. However, there are relatively few studies on the acoustic characteristics of the gas-liquid-solid linkage effect, especially the fluid saturation effect under different coal rank conditions. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2583903101148/study-examines-how-better-communication-can-boost-recycling | 2022-04-30T22:53:54Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2583903101148/study-examines-how-better-communication-can-boost-recycling | false | 3 |
(NEXSTAR) – Some COVID-19 patients are still feeling the effects of an infection suffered back in 2020.
According to a news release from The Cleveland Clinic, even those who experienced less-severe infections are suffering long-term consequences. We are also learning that, for some with mild infections or asymptomatic initial infections, those symptoms can resurface for months or even years.
“It would be lovely if we could give patients a time frame, just put up with it for six months and it will go away, but we can’t say that at all,” infectious disease specialist Dr. Kristin Englund said in the news release. “Patients are experiencing symptoms two years out and the clock is still ticking.”
Long-haul COVID is often used interchangeably with Long COVID, or post-COVID syndrome, to refer to symptoms lasting longer than the typical two-week timeframe for post-infection recovery, according to Johns Hopkins University.
There is no common set of long-haul symptoms, but according to the Cleveland Clinic, the most frequently reported are “overwhelming fatigue, persistent cough, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, light headedness, brain fog, muscle aches, chronic constipation or diarrhea, lack of appetite and loss of sense of taste and smell.”
The CDC lists 18 potential post-COVID symptoms, adding fever, sleep issues and other conditions to the above.
The wide variety of symptoms also makes standardized treatment for long-haul patients challenging, and vaccinated patients are not completely immune from long-term complications.
The Cleveland Clinic says it is now working to understand how COVID-19 variants may account for different long-haul symptoms. | https://www.kget.com/health/coronavirus/covid-long-haul-symptoms-cleveland-clinic-sees-these-health-issues-most-often/ | 2022-04-30T22:54:53Z | https://www.kget.com/health/coronavirus/covid-long-haul-symptoms-cleveland-clinic-sees-these-health-issues-most-often/ | true | 23 |

WILDWOOD – The ongoing Wildwood Boardwalk repairs will get an influx of cash from a new bond issued by the city April 27.
“We’re bonding money to… continue the progress we need to make,” said Mayor Pete Byron during public comments on the vote.
The new money accompanies $7.25 million in grants already received for the project. This bond will bring the total funding now available close to $13 million.
Most of the bond money will be applied toward continuing boardwalk replacements, while $500,000 will be reserved for the completion of various back bay rehabilitation projects. Namely, the landfill cap project still requires more materials and expertise to ensure it meets the state Department of Environmental Protection’s codes.
The bond will have a down payment of $25,000 and a usefulness period of 15 years.
The boardwalk’s repair is on track for completion in time for summer 2022, the Herald previously reported. The new funding will support future stages of the multi-year project.

BREAKING: Carolina Panthers Draft Baylor CB Kalon Barnes
With their final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers took Baylor cornerback Kalon Barnes with the 242nd overall pick.
Analysis from the NFL Draft Bible on Sports Illustrated:
Super fast, strong corner with good not great athleticism outside of sprinting ability. High school wide receiver turned college corner. Projects as an outside corner with potential nickel flexibility if he can fix his technique in off man and eliminate false steps. It’s easy to tell Barnes is still getting used to playing corner on tape. His eyes veer off the quarterback too often and too soon, leading him to be vulnerable to being broken off with intermediate routes. Patience, footwork, and technique will need to improve greatly for him to be a reliable starter at the next level. Hasn’t been seen with the ball in his hands on returns, but special teams snaps were limited to punt return only.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The memorial garden at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is about to get a lot more crowded as fellow musicians honor the many musical icons — known as “Ancestors” — who have passed since the festival was last held three years ago.
Jazz Fest, which began Friday and will conclude on May 8, will feature on-stage tributes, as well as jazz funeral processions that will cross the Fair Grounds and conclude with the unveiling of the honoree’s likenesses alongside the other Ancestors at the rear of the Congo Square field.
“That’s Jazz Fest,” Quint Davis, the festival’s longtime producer/director, told The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate. Like many African cultures, “we stay connected to our ancestors. These people are part of us, part of our lives, part of New Orleans.”
Multiple commemorations, spread across both weekends, are planned for George Wein, Jazz Fest’s founder.
Wein helped found the Newport Jazz and Folk festivals and then replicated his success worldwide. In 1970, New Orleans leaders recruited him to remake the city’s two-year-old music festival. Wein added an outdoor “Louisiana Heritage Fair,” which became the blueprint for the contemporary Jazz Fest. He remained a fixture at Jazz Fest through 2019 and died on Sept. 13, 2021, in New York at the age of 95.
The festival will honor Wein with jazz funerals on both weekends, as well as discussions about his legacy and a performance by his band, the Newport Allstars.
A jazz funeral also was held Saturday for Malcolm “Dr. John” Rebennack, who died June 6, 2019, at age 77 after a heart attack. A tribute concert on the main Festival Stage will be held in his honor on May 8.
Folk and blues guitarist Spencer Bohren performed one last time at Jazz Fest in 2019, dying six weeks later of prostate cancer on June 8, 2019, at age 69. On Sunday, his fellow members of the Write Brothers songwriters’ quartet will join his sons and others for a tribute on the Lagniappe Stage.
Lafayette zydeco and blues guitarist Paul “Lil Buck” Sinegal, who recorded and toured with Clifton Chenier, Buckwheat Zydeco and Rockin’ Dopsie, died June 10, 2019, at age 75. Fellow musicians will honor him in the Blues Tent on May 6.
Dave Bartholomew, the trumpeter who co-wrote and produced most of Fats Domino’s hits, died June 23, 2019, at age 100. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Elvis Costello and pianist Al “Lil Fats” Jackson, will salute Bartholomew on May 5.
Jazz piano patriarch Ellis Marsalis Jr. died April 1, 2020 at age 85 of pneumonia brought on by COVID-19. On Sunday, a jazz funeral procession will be held and a tribute concert featuring his youngest son, drummer and vibraphonist Jason Marsalis.
Adonis Rose & the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra will celebrate Allen Toussaint’s legacy at the WWOZ Jazz Tent on May 6. He died in 2015.
James “Jim Boa” Olander, an audio engineer who spent decades as the stage manager for the Blues Tent, died on March 1 at age 67. On Thursday, the festival will unveil an “Ancestor Photo” of Olander inside the Blues Tent.
Neville Brothers and Meters keyboardist Art Neville died July 22, 2019, at age 81. He’ll be commemorated along with his saxophonist brother Charles Neville, who died April 26, 2018, at age 79. On Friday, their youngest brother, Cyril, will join family members, plus members of the Neville Brothers Band and the Funky Meters, for a tribute on the festival’s main stage. A joint jazz funeral will be held the next day. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Jazz-Fest-remembers-Wein-Dr-John-Neville-17139155.php | 2022-04-30T23:13:34Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Jazz-Fest-remembers-Wein-Dr-John-Neville-17139155.php | true | 17 |
The nonprofit digital media company is funneling its trained Fellowship participants into full-time production roles.
NEW YORK, April 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Second Chance Studios (SCS), a nonprofit digital media company that trains and employs formerly incarcerated individuals, today announced the completion of its first-ever Digital Media Fellowship Program and partnership with MTV Entertainment Group to facilitate second chance hiring.

After successfully hosting their initial Fellowship, Second Chance Studios – the first-of-its-kind venture in the U.S. – aims to become the preeminent digital media training ground for formerly incarcerated individuals. Partners like MTV Entertainment Group are essential to SCS' model built on three pillars: experiential learning, curated mentorship, and job placement. In the program Fellows participated in learning sessions targeting life, soft, professional, and technical skills and applied them by creating video and audio content for their own projects and clients. They are eager to build on their skills and tell stories that inspire at MTV Entertainment.
To celebrate the culmination of its pilot, SCS will host its inaugural graduation fundraiser on Saturday, April 30th. Tickets are available and funds will go towards growing the program.
"The goal of this unique fellowship is to restore dignity and economic empowerment to the talented people we train at Second Chance Studios. We're excited to be delivering on that goal today," said Lajuanda M. Asemota, SCS CEO & Cofounder. "Our Fellows are eager to change their lives and shape the stories of our time. With this partnership, MTV Entertainment Group has shown there are media companies ready to stand for diversity, equity, and inclusion and open doors for second chances."
"We are thrilled to work together with Second Chance Studios to use our platform to enable their graduates as they begin a new professional journey within the Marketing Department at MTV Entertainment Group," said Amy Campbell, Marketing EVP at MTV Entertainment Group.
Second Chance Studios and MTV Entertainment Group are united in efforts to promote authentic storytelling and lift up marginalized voices at the highest level in media. After a wave of commitments from major media companies in the wake of outcries for racial justice in 2020, MTV Entertainment Group is taking concrete strides to diversify its teams while reaching an untapped talent pool. Second Chance Studios will continue to build on their program to ensure more system-impacted people can break into the industry.

Chilling twist after human bones found near swimming pool by locals picking up trash
A CHILLING discovery was made near a Virginia swimming pool when a group of locals was out collecting trash this week.
They discovered human bones in a wooded area in Hanover County, located about 20 miles from Richmond.
The Hanover County Sheriff's Office says it is closer to identifying the remains, which were located near the Atlee Recreation Association pool, at the intersection of Atlee Station Road and Staple Lane.
Lieutenant James Cooper told The US Sun that the area where the remains were found was not a secluded area, and was just off a busy roadway.
A press release from the Sheriff's office on Facebook says detectives received a phone call from a citizen on April 29, just after 5pm local time, regarding the location of possible human skeletal remains.
The release further reveals investigators arrived on scene after the tip and witnessed the bones.
They were later confirmed to be human by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
Lieutenant Cooper confirmed that the remains found are of one person and that a probable ID has been made.
He said, however, that additional lab analysis is still ongoing in order to confirm the identity of the deceased and before the name can be released publicly.
Cooper says the case is being classified as a death investigation, and not a homicide.
The Sheriff's office says there is no evidence of any foul play at this time.
The investigation is still ongoing and anyone with any information is being asked to come forward.

Tractors. That was basically Neil Parish’s route into porn, which is to say slow, quite noisy and by no means smooth. I’m not at all sure which website specialising in gentleman’s interests he could have accidentally happened upon when he was looking for tractor brochures. Tractor Hub? MassiveFurryOne? CockRotator.co.uk? Ploughing.com?
It seems implausible. I’ll certainly admit that autocorrect can play havoc. I once narrowly escaped embarrassment some years ago when I was economics editor, and writing yet another article about the housing market, wealth inequality and intergenerational fairness.
The MicroSoft Word Spellcheck function, usually a bit of lifesaver, unfortunately rendered the unfamiliar jargon word “intergenerational” into “intergeneration anal” which admittedly might sound more fun, but was not strictly germane to the argument. Maybe that’s what Neil was looking for. He is 65, after all.
So that bit of Neil Parish’s mea culpa, the “whoops, that doesn’t look like agricultural machinery but let’s stick with it” bit, did sound a touch disingenuous, shall we say.
Yet he was man enough to admit that he ought not to have gone with it in the incongruous setting of the House of Commons during a debate on, I don’t know, famine relief or something, and that he was certainly stupid to have another swift glance at the carnal delights while sitting near honourable friends.
He says he wasn’t being brazen about it, which I can believe. I doubt he’d have leaned forward to say, “here, Boris, you’ll like this”. But of course that wasn’t really the point, which he acknowledged.
The BBC Politics South West presenter gifted this onanistic scoop kept asking Parish what on earth had been going through his mind. He didn’t have much of answer except “stupidity” and “a moment of madness”, which you may recall was the line used by the ill-starred Labour cabinet minister Ron Davies, when he got himself into some bother during a night safari on Clapham Common. The cameras caught the word “sorry” written in biro on Davies’ hands when he did his humble apologies, which didn’t help his case.
All that said, Parish cut a surprisingly dignified figure, close to tears at one point, brave and pretty honest. With his combover, olive farmer’s jerkin and purple tie, he looked like the epitome of the country gent.
Humiliated beyond reason, he decided he couldn’t put his family or constituency through any more of this. He and his family was facing death by a thousand smutty jokes. Having tried the “I await the outcome of the inquiry” defence, patented by Boris Johnson, he was seemingly persuaded by his wife that the situation was beyond hope, and would invite further pain and mockery.
It was ridiculous to believe that he had been watching the porn without realising he was watching porn, or that it might have been OK if female MPs hadn’t been subjected to it – “ambushed by filth”.

Unlike Owen Paterson before him, he didn’t want to cheat the system and twist the truth about what he had done, which, despite being against Standing Orders, wasn’t against the law.
Indeed, his willingness to confess his “crime” as he calls it, and quit with some honour, subjecting himself to a four-and-a-half minute mini trial via regional television programme. It was an act of rare humility and dignity – in striking contrast to Johnson, who has been fined for breaking a law.
Parish told the truth and did the right thing. He gave a proper apology and some public account of himself, and for that Neil Parish should be thanked. He is driving his tractor to redemption.

DENVER (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds cut outfielder Aristides Aquino, clearing a roster spot for right-hander Connor Overton to start Saturday night at Colorado.
Aquino was in his fifth season with the Reds and struggled this year, batting .049 with 23 strikeouts in 41 at-bats over 15 games.
The 28-year-old Overton made his major league debut last season, pitching for Toronto and Pittsburgh. His contract was selected from Triple-A Louisville.
Aquino was designated for assignment. The 28-year-old hit .205 with 32 homers in 179 games for Cincinnati.
Manager David Bell said Aquino’s steadying clubhouse influence — he was a member of the Reds organization for 10 years — will be missed.
“It’s a tough day, for really our whole clubhouse,” Bell said. “He’s been such a big part of our team. We still believe in him as a player. He’s going to get another opportunity, I believe, in the major leagues somewhere. It could turn out that he would end up back here in our organization and we would welcome him back for sure.”

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico (AP) — Jon Rahm birdied the last two par 5s and got some help from a couple of poor chips by Cameron Champ to take a two-shot lead into the final round of the Mexico Open.
Rahm, whose last victory was the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines last summer, pumped his fist Saturday when he holed a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th for a 3-under 68.
He liked how he played tee-to-green. Rahm said he hopes he can see a few more putts drop.
“That one on 18 was the first one outside 10 feet I saw roll in,” Rahm said. “If I can just keep that going and make putts like I did the first two days, I think tomorrow I’ll give myself a really good chance.”
An hour or so before that key birdie on the 18th, Rahm was two shots behind and trying to keep up with Champ, one of the game's longest hitters whose penetrating ball flight has been ideal for breezy conditions at Vidanta Vallarta,
Champ went over the back of the green on the 15th and stubbed a chip that didn't reach the green, leading to bogey. He went just over the back on the next hole, and this time clipped it too hard and watched it roll some 10 feet by the hole, leading to another bogey.
From just right of the 18th in two, Champ's chip came up some 15 feet short and he had to settle for par and a 67.
Kurt Kitayama was tied with Champ after a 66 that also featured some late struggles. He was tied for the lead when he blocked his tee shot on the par-3 17th so far to the right that it ran across a cart path onto a dirt lie under the trees. He did well to make bogey.
Then, the former UNLV player with two European tour wins had 109 yards to the par-5 18th and came up 25 feet short, having to settle for a par.
Rahm was at 13-under 200, two clear of Champ and Kitayama. Another shot behind were Nate Lashley (64), Davis Riley (67) and Patrick Rodgers (66).
Rahm had two eagle chances on the par-5 sixth (20 feet) and the reachable par-4 seventh (15 feet) and settled for birdies. He drove into the water on the tough 10th and made bogey, and Champ pulled ahead with a birdie on the par-5 12th, and then briefly stretched his lead to two shots with a long up-and-down from right of the green on the par-5 14th.
“I feel like I haven’t had everything there. My iron game, you know, I’ve hit a few shaky shots, but I’ve just been able to get around and score,” Champ said. “I love it here. It suits me well. I love the wind. Just excited for it.”
Rahm wasted a birdie chance on No. 12 with a short birdie putt he missed. But on the 14th, he got up-and-down for birdie and then played solidly the rest of the way, closing out his round with a birdie.
It will be the seventh time Rahm has at least a share of the lead going into the final round. He has only converted one of the previous six chances on the PGA Tour, though that doesn't account for his withdrawal from the Memorial last year when he had a six-shot lead and couldn't play the final round because of a positive COVID-19 test result.
This figures to be a little tougher with only at two-shot margin, and with five players within three shots of the lead.
Riley, the PGA Tour rookie out of Alabama, lost in a playoff at Innisbrook this year. Rodgers is part of that high school graduating class with Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas. He was a prolific winner at Stanford, but has yet to win on tour.
Rodgers sounded patient about his approach to playing Vidanta Vallarta, and about winning. He hopes to use some advice he received from Jack Nicklaus, whom he first met in 2014 when Rodgers won he Jack Nicklaus Award as the nation's top NCAA player, and in recent times at the Bear's Club in south Florida.
“It was really surprising to hear him say it, but he said he never tried to win a golf tournament,” Rodgers said. “Obviously, he got his fair share. He just tried to do his part and manage what was under his control and trust it would fall his way in the end, so I definitely need to listen to that advice as I take on this challenge tomorrow.”

Michael Bublé says his wife ORDERS him to give her a bum massage every night
MICHAEL Bublé says his model wife Luisana Lopilato orders him to "massage her bum" every night.
The 46-year-old singer, who married the 34-year-old old Argentine model in 2011, said it was the last thing he did every night before nodding off.
Speaking last week, the Come Fly with Me singer - who has sold more than 75m records - said: “It’s always the same.
“My wife turns her butt towards me and says, ‘Mike, rub my bum.’
“She says it gets rid of the cellulite. I’m like, ‘You don’t have any cellulite!’
“So every night I sit watching TV, massaging her to sleep.”
The dad-of-three also said that he was ‘scared of his wife’, adding he could only watch what he wanted on TV until 4pm.
He said: “I’m only allowed to watch NFL Fantasy Football until 4pm.
“I love my wife so much, but I’m also scared of her.
“So terrified that I actually watched a Jennifer Lopez movie called Marry Me with her last Sunday and I wanted to punch myself in my face.” | https://www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/8729671/michael-buble-wife-bum-massage/ | 2022-04-30T23:56:59Z | https://www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/8729671/michael-buble-wife-bum-massage/ | true | 5 |
South Carolina completes weekend sweep over Alabama with 11-5 win
COLUMBIA – The University of South Carolina baseball team completed a three-game sweep of Alabama with an 11-5 win Saturday afternoon (April 30), tying a season high with 14 hits and scoring runs in six of the eight innings. Andrew Eyster set a career high with six RBI in the win.
Alabama took a 2-0 lead in the first, but the Gamecocks responded with three in the bottom of the first. Brandt Belk walked and went to third on a Kevin Madden double. Eyster brought in both runners with a single to left. Eyster then trotted home on Michael Braswell’s double to right.
Eyster homered in the third, giving Carolina a 5-2 lead. The Gamecocks added three more runs in the fourth, highlighted by a Talmadge LeCroy two-run single. Alabama cut the lead to 8-5 on a Dominic Tamez home run in the sixth, but Carolina added insurance with single runs in the seventh and eighth as Eyster’s double in the seventh drove in the sixth run of the day.
Eyster, Madden and Braylen Wimmer had three hits apiece to lead the offense. Belk added two hits for the Gamecocks, while LeCroy drove in a pair.
Will Sanders earned his sixth win of the season for the Gamecocks, striking out eight in seven innings of work with seven hits and five runs. Matthew Becker and Cade Austin pitched one inning of relief apiece, striking out three between the two of them.
POSTGAME NOTES
- Carolina had the leadoff batter reach in all eight innings in today’s game.
- Eyster’s six RBI was the most by a Gamecock since Wes Clarke had seven RBI in a win over Northwestern on Feb. 22, 2020.
- Carolina had 14 hits in wins over Texas and North Carolina this season.

Announcement Follows FDA 510(k) Clearance of Device
REHOVOT, Israel, April 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Xcardia Innovation Ltd., a private medical device company developing innovative cardiac pacemaker and defibrillator technology, announced the first-in-human use of its new Xtractor device in patients undergoing lead extraction procedures. Charles J. Love MD, Director, Cardiac Rhythm Device Services and Professor of Medicine at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, treated two patients in Baltimore, Maryland, following the Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) clearance of the device in February 2022.
"Xcardia is dedicated to delivering innovative technology to physicians as they perform this complex procedure. The Xtractor device is designed to offer convenience and control to physicians all while giving patients peace of mind that the physician has additional advanced tools available," said Benny Rousso, PhD, CEO of Xcardia. "We are pleased to have received the FDA 510(k) clearance and to have the first cases at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. We believe the unique features of this device have the potential to be a game-changer for lead extraction procedures and look forward to working with other medical facilities to offer the Xtractor to additional patients."
The removal of pacemaker and ICD leads is a complex procedure that involves the potential for numerous complications. The procedure is becoming more necessary as increasing numbers of patients outlive their pacemakers. The Xtractor is designed to make the lead extraction procedure easier for surgeons, with more advanced control, incorporating motor assisted activation, steering capability, pedal activation, and an advanced tip mechanism.
In February 2022, the FDA awarded 510(k) clearance to Xtractor, allowing Xcardia to market and sell the device in the United States. The Xtractor's unique pedal-operated device and collection of features are designed for ease of use and provide more control to surgeons working to remove pacemaker leads through intravenous procedures. Maintaining control of orientation of the tip along the lead and away from the veins is important, and motorized operation is designed to reduce physician fatigue. As a result, the game-changing Xtractor device could play an important role in enabling more physicians to perform the procedure on more patients.

Xcardia Innovation Ltd. is a private medical device company developing innovative cardiovascular technologies. Its latest product, Xtractor, received FDA 510(k) clearance in February 2022.

SHANGHAI, April 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group ("Shanghai Electric Wind Power" or "the Company") has been named as one of the top five wind turbine manufacturers in China, with its newly added offshore wind capacity overtaking all the other industry players in China in 2021, according to BloombergNEF's China's Top 10 Wind Turbine Manufacturers in 2021 report.
The report, which ranks China's wind turbine manufacturers based on new turbines installed throughout 2021, shows that Shanghai Electric Wind Power took the number five spot by increasing its wind capacity by 5.18GW, securing 9 percent of the market share in China. The Company retains the top spot in the offshore wind scene as the Company's newly installed offshore capacity grew by 4.1GW over the year.
"In light of the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and fierce market competition triggered by the looming end to offshore wind subsidies, Shanghai Electric Wind Power overcame the challenges and broke multiple industry records, winning recognition from our partners for our exceptional installation efficiency, as well as product and service quality. These accolades from the industry have given us fresh impetus as we continue to reshape China's wind power sector in an effort to accelerate towards carbon peak and neutrality goals," Shanghai Electric wrote in a statement.
In 2021, China's newly installed wind capacity increased 55.8GW in total, a slight dip of 3% from 2020, passing the 50GW threshold for the second year in a row. It comes at a time when China's wind power sector is contending with market uncertainties posed by surges in global commodity prices as well supply chain disruptions. Last year saw commissioning rates offshore shooting up 351% by adding 14.2GW, while domestic onshore capacity dropped by 23% from its peak in 2020, to 41.6GW in 2021.
Established in 2006, Shanghai Electric Wind Power offers services including wind turbine manufacturing, wind farm operation and maintenance (O&M), wind resource assessment, digitized wind farm investment and development, wind farm asset management, smart energy and more. The Company's product portfolios feature wind turbines with capacity ranging from 1.25MW to 10MW.
The last decade and a half have seen the Company launch itself to become the largest offshore wind turbine manufacturer in China, cementing its leadership in the global new energy sector. In May 2021, Shanghai Electric Wind Power launched an initial public offering on the Shanghai Stock Exchange Science and Technology Innovation Board, through which the Company can further expand investment into the R&D of its core technology.
Last year, Shanghai Electric Wind Power also unveiled its Petrel platform SEW11.0-208 to the world. The flagship direct-drive turbine, which is the company's full proprietary intellectual property, features a nameplate capacity of 11 MW – the largest of its kind in Asia – marking a major breakthrough for China's homegrown innovation in offshore wind technology.
With the development of cutting-edge technology sitting at the forefront of its strategy, the Company seeks cooperation with top-tier wind power companies in the hope of jointly driving forward the global new energy sector. Now, the Company is expanding its upstream and downstream partnerships, with the business focus centered on digitized wind farm development and smart O&M, transforming itself into a full-cycle service provider. Aiming to become a world-class wind power company, Shanghai Electric Wind Power is ramping up its global presence, bringing its high-quality products and services to customers worldwide.

Search for missing kids concludes Monday; no recovery
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) —The search for the three children, who went missing in the Mississippi River Saturday evening , will pick back up Tuesday morning.
Although the Coast Guard suspended their search Sunday night, multiple agencies, including rescue divers with the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office and NOPD’s Special Operations Division, continued their search efforts on Monday.
It was a somber scene as the family of the three kids stationed themselves atop the levee alongside the river.
The three kids have been identified as sisters Brandy Wilson, 14, and Ally Berry-Wilson, 8, and Kevin Poole, Jr., 15.
Family members, friends, and community members have been returning to the same spot near the Crescent City Connection Bridge since Saturday.
Over 60 tons of ground beef recalled“We spent six hours watching and walking up and down this river on Saturday night, hoping and praying that something fruitful will come from the Coast Guard search,” said Bishop W. L. T. Littleton, the pastor of Greater Morning Star Baptist Church of Algiers.
Bishop Littleton is the pastor of a church the family frequents and says the loss of these kids is a big loss for the community.
“They were just community children, neighborhood children, just enjoying life,” explained Littleton. “This is why it’s such a tragedy that we have lost them, but it’s a greater tragedy if we don’t recover their bodies.”
Those close to the family believe the Coast Guard’s work isn’t done.
“I commend them for what they have done thus far, but at this time, I have requested from our representatives that they get in touch with [the Coast Guard] to have them come back out, so we can complete this search,” said the pastor.
Police looking for man who walked into home and took babyAs search efforts resume, the family is leaning on their faith and the support of their community.
“The congregation surrounded [the girls’ mother] yesterday and prayed for her and to give her strength that the healing will come in, and we do believe, through time, there will be a healing process,” said Littleton.
The family says they are grateful for the agencies’ assistance. They also said they will return to the Algiers levee each day until they hear their loved ones have been located.
In the meantime, New Orleans police are asking anyone who may have seen something that would help them in their search to please call the department’s fourth district at (504) 658-6040.

MADISON (WKOW) -- A book fair with a mission to diversify libraries came to the Boys and Girls Club in Madison this Saturday.
The Black Child Book Fair was created by Darryl Harvey in 2019 to promote early literacy in Black communities.
"Only 10% of mainstream children's books have African American characters, so this book fair provides parents a place where they can find multiple books with African American characters," Harvey said.
Since its inception, the book fair has grown to reach children across the country. Harvey said it has also been good exposure for Black authors.
Paula M. Karll was on of the authors at the book fair Saturday. She was promoting her book "The Adventures of Ellie and Eve: Ellie Meets the New Baby," a book for soon to be brothers and sisters, which she wrote to encourage and inspire children.
"Reading can expand a child's mind and can open doors for them," Karll said.
Author Krystyn Jones was also at the book fair Saturday to showcase her book "Wonderfully Made," a memoir about her journey with spina bifida and learning to love herself. Jones has traveled to six cities with the Black Child Book Fair.
"The biggest part that I've enjoyed is meeting the kids and going to different states," Jones said.
The Black Child Book Fair will be traveling to 16 cities this year. Harvey said they also hope to take their efforts overseas in the future.
"There is a definite need for this," Harvey said. "We will continue to push for it." | https://www.wkow.com/news/there-is-a-definite-need-for-this-black-child-book-fair-comes-to-madison/article_ce26bbf2-c8d7-11ec-ad4a-9f3e54f42a4f.html | 2022-05-01T00:22:34Z | https://www.wkow.com/news/there-is-a-definite-need-for-this-black-child-book-fair-comes-to-madison/article_ce26bbf2-c8d7-11ec-ad4a-9f3e54f42a4f.html | false | 1 |
Critics call on B.C. to fill gaps in COVID-19 information amid 6th wave
With COVID-19 hospitalizations climbing, a group of B.C. doctors is raising concerns around the elderly and others vulnerable to the virus, saying it’s unknown how many of them have been offered a second booster shot.
While fewer masks and more people out in public might suggest otherwise, the province is in the middle of a sixth wave of COVID-19.
“And based on what we’re seeing in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta, this is not going to be a small wave,” said Dr. Lyne Filiatrault, a retired emergency physician and member of the COVID-19 watchdog group Protect our Province British Columbia (PoP BC).
The most recent data from the provincial government shows there were 570 COVID hospitalizations as of April 28, which is more than double the number from just a month earlier. Cases continue to climb the fastest for people aged 80 and older. With pandemic safety measures lifted, Filiatrault says seniors and many others are at risk.
“We basically are exposing the most vulnerable in our community to the virus and they are seeing the consequences of that with more hospitalization.”
One layer of protection against serious infection in seniors and people considered clinically extremely vulnerable is a second booster shot. In early April, the province announced fourth doses were being offered, including to people over 70 and the immunocompromised. However, Filiatrault says there’s no way of knowing the progress of the fourth dose rollout, because the province no longer provides that information.
“For accountability purposes, (the provincial government) should be telling us where they’re at with the rollout of the fourth dose for residential care, long-term care, and for the most vulnerable in the community,” said Filiatrault.
For several weeks now, the province has provided weekly COVID-19 updates instead of daily briefings. With the testing strategy having changed, the provided data is not as detailed as it used to be. Analysts and researchers say it’s now nearly impossible to make predictions on where the pandemic is headed in B.C.
“There is a great deal of effort on the government’s side to hide COVID under the rug,” said Damien Contandriopoulos, a professor and public health researcher at the University of Victoria. “To talk as little as possible about COVID and dismiss the gravity of the situation.”
Another layer of protection for high-risk COVID-19 patients is Paxlovid, an antiviral pill designed to prevent hospitalizations. CTV News has learned B.C. has 32,000 rounds of Paxlovid, but has only administered approximately 2,500, due to limited eligibility.
“Plus there’s the issue of how you can access it if you don’t have a family doctor,” added Filiatrault.
As for COVID-19 transmission, take-home rapid tests are the only testing method for most British Columbians. With the province not collecting the results, it’s hard to know how far-reaching this latest wave of the pandemic will be.

The Baylor-to-Carolina train may have slowed down recently, but it sure hasn’t stopped. With their final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Panthers selected Baylor cornerback Kalon Barnes.
As has been the trend, Barnes stands out from the rest of the late-round draft picks thanks to his speed. The 5-foot-11, 183-pound defensive back ran a 4.23-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine—which rings in as the fastest for a defensive player since 2003. That’s also the second-fastest of any draft prospect behind John Ross, who finished his dash in 4.22 seconds.
In the seventh round, teams are looking for players with outstanding measurables who they can develop into quality backups. Barnes is just that. Panthers head coach Matt Rhule recruited Barnes to Baylor at wide receiver before he transitioned to cornerback, and now he’ll have the chance to work with him some more in the professional league.
With that, the Panthers are likely done for the day. They will end their draft with six new players: OT Ikem Ekwonu, QB Matt Corral, LB Brandon Smith, DE Amaré Barno, OL Cade Mays and Barnes. | https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2022/04/30/panthers-select-baylor-cb-kalon-barnes-with-242nd-overall-pick/ | 2022-05-01T00:28:56Z | https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2022/04/30/panthers-select-baylor-cb-kalon-barnes-with-242nd-overall-pick/ | false | 1 |

Artichoke season is here! Join me and jump up and down, please. Artichokes are ridiculously underrated — especially crispy quick-fried artichoke hearts or grilled artichokes topped with salsa verde, which are my two favorite preparations. Whether you're working with canned and marinated artichoke hearts or fresh artichokes, there are so many ways to cook artichokes (18, in fact!) that you'll fall in love over and over again.
Our best artichoke recipes
1. Vegan Creamed Asparagus with Artichoke Hearts
Our new favorite spring recipe is so creamy, so cheesy (yet it's made with no cheese at all!), and remarkably easy to make. "I used miso and artichoke hearts to mimic the salty umami quality of Parmesan cheese, and blended cashews for a smooth texture," explains recipe developer Nisha Melvani.
We love how the chewy, slightly salty quality of marinated artichoke hearts meshes perfectly with oil-packed tuna in this four-ingredient sandwich.
3. Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Frittata with Arugula
A trio of spring's finest vegetables — spinach, artichokes, and arugula — join hands and hearts and voices (yes, that's a Dirty Dancing reference) for this spring frittata that you'll scramble to make (and yes, that's an egg joke).
4. Cheesy Artichoke Melts with Crushed Nori
For a vegetarian sandwich that has all the meatiness and saltiness of canned tuna, use marinated artichoke hearts. They're available year-round and, when topped with slices of provolone cheese, it'll become your new favorite lunch.
5. Pasta with Marinated Artichoke Sauce
You've got 10 minutes and a table full of hungry eaters. No problem! Emma Laperruque saves the day once again with this four-ingredient pasta dish; marinated artichoke hearts are used to make the entire sauce.
6. Roasted Chicken Thighs with Artichokes and Pearl Couscous
Artichoke hearts invite themselves to this dinner party, which includes bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs over a bed of chewy couscous.
This side dish was made for your Easter dinner table. And it couldn't be more low-key, thanks to the use of frozen artichoke hearts and frozen baby peas.
8. Slow-Cooker Lemon-Thyme Steamed Crockpot Artichokes
A set-it-and-forget-it method for cooking fresh artichokes? Yes, please! You don't have to serve them with the bagna cauda sauce . . . but you really should.
9. Roasted Artichoke Leaf Appetizer with Feta And Black Olives (and Cheater's Aioli)
There are so many recipes that call for artichoke hearts, but not that many that call for the leaves . . . until now.
10. Creamy, Cheesy Artichoke and Chicken Pasta Bake
This family-friendly pasta recipe is inspired by Artichoke Basille's signature pizza. A combination of milk, cream, cream cheese, mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, canned artichokes, spinach, and basil bring this dish as close as possible to the real thing no matter where you live.
11. Spring Vegetarian Cassoulet
Hear me out: this artichoke recipe takes a while to make (like more than three hours). But so do all cassoulets, including the traditional French pork and beans version. And trust me, it's worth the time and effort.
Let me paint you a picture: It's 12:30pm on a Tuesday and you're working from home. You realize you're hungry and wonder what to have for lunch. You walk to the fridge, feel uninspired, sit back down at your desk, and do it all over again 15 minutes later. Rinse and repeat. For days when you have no idea what you eat for lunch, this last-minute protein-packed salad is there for you.
13. Artichokes Stuffed with Capers and Anchovies (Carciofi Ripieni alla Siciliana)
Our take on traditional Silican stuffed artichokes features a breadcrumb stuffing mixed with anchovies, capers, lemon, and Parmesan cheese.
14. 3-Ingredient Veggie Burgers
The simplest veggie burger in all the land only calls for chickpeas, marinated artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes — but the payoff is major.
Paella is usually packed with chorizo, shrimp, chicken, and mussels, but this one says goodbye to all of that and hello to a bevy of vegetables like green beans, artichoke hearts, zucchini, and sweet red peppers.
16. Vignarola (Roman Spring Vegetable Braise)
The longer this stew has time to sit, chill out, and let the vegetables mingle together, the better it will be. Patience, grasshopper.
17. Toasted Farro and Antipasto Salad
"This sheet-pan dinner is essentially an antipasto platter turned into a hearty, meal-worthy salad, with a few smart tricks up its sleeve," writes recipe developer EmilyC. There are a lot of ingredients and even more moving parts, so it's a miracle that it comes together in just 25 minutes.
18. Greek Chicken Thighs with White Beans
If there's a choice between a one-skillet dinner and a multi-pan dinner, I will always, always choose the one-skillet dinner because, well, I don't have a dishwasher. Even if you do, who can argue with the simplicity of everything, all together, in one vessel? No muss, no fuss. | https://www.salon.com/2022/04/28/18-recipes-that-will-make-you-fall-in-love-with-artichokes-over-and-over-again_partner/ | 2022-05-01T00:45:26Z | https://www.salon.com/2022/04/28/18-recipes-that-will-make-you-fall-in-love-with-artichokes-over-and-over-again_partner/ | true | 2 |
from the all-our-meetings-you-avoid dept.
Turns out that virtual meetings are more or less just like real meetings. A lot of people arrive late. Most people don't say or do anything, they are just there. The more people that are invited to the meeting the worse it apparently is. Bad meetings are bad meetings no matter if they are live or not.
For meetings with seven or more people, some of the findings include:
50% of participants arrive late
40% have below average or poor engagement
22% of participants don't say a single word
11% don't have video or audio onOverall, one in five video conference calls had a below average meeting score, and 31% of meetings start late.

Difference I find is people working at home are in t-shirt with pyjamas bottoms or so, at the office they’re in standard office attire.
The other thing is trying to get a word in when a couple of people are back and forth with a lot to say. Easier when in person.

Graveside services for Millard Nelson Watrous, 92, of Killeen, will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Central Texas State Veteran’s Cemetery.
Mr. Watrous died April 9, 2022, in Killeen, surrounded by his family.
He was born Oct. 31, 1929, in New York City, N.Y.
Millard was a proud Army veteran, who joined the Army shortly after World War II combat ended. His first assignment after his basic training was in then-occupied northern Japan, where he served for four years. Subsequent overseas assignments included multiple tours in Germany, and two tours in the Republic of Vietnam, where he earned two Bronze Stars. He retired from the Army in February 1973, completing over 26 years of distinguished and faithful service.
After retiring from the Army, Millard completed a second career, retiring from the U.S. Postal Service. In his remaining years, he enjoyed his family, travel and numerous hobbies, most notably wood-carving and gardening.
Millard was preceded in death by his loving wife Ingeborg; his parents Millard Fillmore Watrous and Marie (Ortiz) Watrous; his sisters Mary Ruth Alverez and Gertrude Elizabeth Watrous; and his son-in-law, Roger Brown.
Millard is survived by his daughter Ruth Yount and her husband Dan; his daughter Gabriele Watrous-Stickley and her husband Doug; his daughter Deborah Brown; four granddaughters, Kristina Randall and her husband Andy, Catherine Yount, Gabriele Yount, and Anja Stevens and her husband Alex; and three great-grandchildren, Troy, Lance and Rosslyn.

Falcons add BYU RB Allgeier to offensive-themed draft class
By CHARLES ODUM
AP Sports Writer
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons wrapped up their NFL draft by adding more help on offense. After selecting USC wide receiver Drake London and Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder in the first two days, the Falcons added BYU running back Tyler Allgeier in the fifth round and two Georgia players, left guard Justin Shaffer and tight end John FitzPatrick, in the sixth round. General manager Terry Fontenot also found help for the Falcons’ woeful pass rush with edge rushers in Penn State’s Arnold Ebiketie and Western Kentucky’s DeAngelo Malone in the middle of the draft. | https://kion546.com/news/2022/04/30/falcons-add-byu-rb-allgeier-to-offensive-themed-draft-class/ | 2022-05-01T00:46:27Z | https://kion546.com/news/2022/04/30/falcons-add-byu-rb-allgeier-to-offensive-themed-draft-class/ | true | null |

State reform isn’t enough. Our times demand Black anarchism
For many who are marginalised, the state has only ever kicked them around. Redress looks like power directly in the hands of people themselves
At the present time, the world is at an impasse. This can only mean one thing: not that there is no way out, but that the time has come to abandon all the old ways, which have led to fraud, tyranny, and murder.
I’m not here to explain Black anarchism, because Black anarchism explains itself. The times we’re living in speak to its relevance. Politics that can conceive liberation only through the nation-state apparatus cannot truly serve people who always fall outside of its considerations.
Those who are the most marginalised are not being liberated by the state forms that have only ever killed, excluded and kicked them around. Poor people, stateless people, migrants and oppressed people of all sorts are rendered disposable by the world’s ruling classes.
Radical transformation looks like power directly in the hands of people themselves, without minimising diversity in the name of borders, citizenship, and homogenising national identities.
What would it mean if people represented themselves directly, instead of the administrations of nation-states, politicians and ruling classes speaking on their behalf? In the US, during the civil rights and Black Power eras, this question led to the development of Black anarchism(s) and Black autonomy, through the work of Black radicals who turned to stateless socialism and more.
Lucy Parsons, a formerly enslaved Black woman, was one of the earliest identifiable Black anarchists. Pivotal in the labour movement of the 1920s and known as a powerful orator, she was described by the Chicago Police Department as “more dangerous than a thousand rioters”. Parsons had a complicated relationship with her racial identity, which is part of her long, dynamic story.
Parsons came long before the breakaway from civil rights era reformism and Black Power era statist politics that represents modern Black anarchism. The US-based cohort responsible for developing this includes, but is not limited to, radicals like: Martin Sostre, Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin, Kuwasi Balagoon, JoNina Ervin, Ojore Lutalo and Ashanti Alston.
Sostre, who died in 2015, was an internationally known, self-described “politicised prisoner” who almost single-handedly transformed the prison system through his lawsuits. He was a community educator and won victories for the rights of those in prison, from political and religious freedoms to restricting the use of solitary confinement, to contesting the censorship of prison literature.
Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin, who was mentored by Sostre, is a former Black Panther and activist at the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, a key organisation in the American civil rights movement. JoNina Ervin, who eventually wed Lorenzo, is also a former Panther and was the last editor of the Black Panther Party newspaper.
Alston, Lutalo, and Balagoon were former Panthers and Black Liberation Army members. Lutalo was introduced to anarchism by Kuwasi, who brought his own unique perspective as a New Afrikan anarchist.
These are just some of the Black revolutionaries who decided that instead of choosing new representation, new reform and new masters, they wanted no masters at all.
I came into Black anarchism over ten years ago and sat with it quietly in the dominant state-socialist Left movement spaces where it didn’t fit. I watched anarchism in general be harangued as utopian, chaotic, white and impractical, while people regurgitated age-old political maxims about building a reformed or revolutionary state. I once held many of the same views about state-building and state-reform before I understood anarchism on its own terms, not based on popular misreadings or individuals.
The history of Black anarchism was completely neglected and, in retrospect, I see why it needed to be. Anarchism is a threat many can agree on. Not making populations an appendage of the nation-state poses a grave danger to the order of the world we know. The fact that statist factions on both the Left and the Right utilise the anarchist bogeyman as a target is crucial. Those who are preoccupied with attaining or weaponising state power for their own ends will regularly feel threatened by those who don’t see the state as the sole harbinger of liberation.
Black anarchism rejects coercive authority and oppressive top-down hierarchies as they exist across the entire political spectrum. It doesn’t pretend that anyone who claims (or has claimed) to be a liberator, speaking on behalf of the masses, cannot commit atrocities. And it recognises that acknowledging this, rather than denying it, is how stronger movements will grow.
In my new book ‘The Nation on No Map’, I expand my thinking around ‘the anarchism of Blackness’ as it’s appeared via the stateless condition of Black people throughout the African diaspora. This is not just about theory. What I’m highlighting is the reality of Black migration (forced or otherwise) and enslavement. That’s why in my book, I make a case for how Black anarchist history can appeal to a newly reinvigorated abolitionist movement, among other things.
The lives of many of the historical Black anarchists I have mentioned trace a familiar path of growth and development. Many traversed from the civil rights movement to Black nationalism and Black Power movements before arriving at anarchism. They are by no means one thing and should be allowed their diversity. There are multiple Black anarchisms, autonomies and anarchic tendencies. What they did with anarchism when they arrived at it is just as multifaceted as historic classical anarchisms are. A similarity many share is a rejection of what Sostre called “the wooden party line”. He rejected “some abstract political line or ideology” in favour of struggling for “human beings with lives to fulfil”.
Sostre is one reason that I see Black anarchism as a part of politics and history that’s not so nebulous it becomes incoherent. Rather, it’s realistic enough to hold the weighty truth of difference that has regularly gotten lost historically in the wills of individual leaders claiming to represent ‘the people’. The people are the people themselves, not a rhetorical football for whomever hopes to make use of them. We are all part of ‘the people’.
We are fighting for an existence where there are no states to deport, dispossess, murder, detain, imprison, pollute and police us on behalf of the ruling elite of the world. We’re talking about destroying the machinery of oppression, not renaming it or repurposing it so that it can be used to oppress again. That’s why for me, Black anarchism means moving away from and transcending all leftisms inundated with oversimplified ‘either/or’ sectarian binaries. We are struggling for something much greater.
There’s a way out. It’s an exit sign I’m pointing at – don’t get stuck staring at my finger.

Alex Mills: Natural gas becomes a valuable energy source
Demand for natural gas has surged in recent years as economies around the world realize its value.
Consumers in the U.S. use natural gas to warm their homes, cook dinner and in some cases as a transportation fuel. Its largest consumers, however, are electric utilities.
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects U.S. total consumption of natural gas will average 84.1 billion cubic feet (Bcf/d) in 2022, up 1% from 2021.
“The increase in U.S. natural gas consumption is a result of colder forecast temperatures in 2022 compared with 2021, which results in more consumption in the residential and commercial sectors,” EIA stated in its monthly report for March. “In addition, we expect the industrial sector to consume more natural gas in 2022 in response to expanding economic activity.”
A growing part of the natural gas business is exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the U.S. to other countries. In March, U.S. LNG exports averaged 11.9 Bcf/d, an increase of 0.7 Bcf/d from February.
“LNG prices in Europe remain high amid supply uncertainties due to Russia’s further invasion of Ukraine and the need to replenish Europe’s natural gas inventories, which has kept Europe’s demand for LNG elevated,” EIA stated. “Inventories in Europe were 26% full as of March 31, compared with the five-year average of 34%. We expect high levels of U.S. LNG exports to continue in 2022, averaging 12.2 Bcf/d for the year, a 25% increase from 2021.”
EIA estimates U.S. natural gas inventories ended March at 1.4 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), which is 17% below the five-year (2017–2021) average. Inventory withdrawals in March were 203 billion cubic feet (Bcf), resulting from relatively flat production and rising natural gas exports.

“We expect natural gas inventories to increase by 245 Bcf in April, as the injection season begins, ending the month at about almost 1.7 Tcf, which would be 14% below the five-year average for this time of year,” EIA said. “We forecast that natural gas inventories will end the 2022 injection season (end of October) at 3.5 Tcf, which is 4% below the five-year average.”
In March, the Henry Hub natural gas spot price averaged $4.90 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), which was up from the February average of $4.69/MMBtu. EIA expects the Henry Hub price will average $5.68/MMBtu in 2Q22 and $5.23/MMBtu for all of 2022. Natural gas closed at $6.86 on April 26.
EIA forecasts U.S. production to average 96.9 Bcf/d in April and average 97.4 Bcf/d for all of 2022, which is a 3.8 Bcf/d increase over 2021.
Even though EIA believes natural gas consumption will increase 1% this year, it will lose 2% of the electricity generating business to wind and solar. Natural gas generation is expected to drop from 37% in 2021 to 35% this year. EIA said electricity generation from renewable energy sources will rise from 20% in 2021 to 22% in 2022.

The 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs begin on Monday, May 2. Today, we preview the series between the Los Angeles Kings and Edmonton Oilers
EDMONTON OILERS vs. LOS ANGELES KINGS schedule
Game 1: May 2, 10 p.m. ET – Kings at Oilers (Sportsnet, CBC, TVA Sports, ESPN2)
Game 2: May 4, 10 p.m. ET – Kings at Oilers (Sportsnet, CBC, TVA Sports, ESPN2)

Game 4: May 8, 10 p.m. ET – Oilers at Kings (TBS, Sportsnet, CBC, TVA Sports)
*Game 5: May 10, TBD – Kings at Oilers (TBD)
*Game 6: May 12, TBD – Oilers at Kings (TBD)
*Game 7: May 14, TBD – Kings at Oilers (TBD)
1. The Oilers look like a different beast under Jay Woodcroft
Personally, it’s tempting to pitch Oilers vs. Kings as “star power vs. structure.” Such narratives are pretty juicy. Offense vs. defense. The scrappy Kings trying to slow down Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
However, the Oilers’ underlying numbers aren’t that far behind that of the 5-on-5 majesty of the Kings, especially since Jay Woodcroft took over as Edmonton’s head coach.
Since Woodcroft replaced Dave Tippett around Feb. 10, the Oilers are 26-9-3. That’s good for a .724 points percentage, the NHL’s third-best mark behind the Panthers (.757) and Flames (.731). No other team reached a points-percentage above .684 (Bruins and Blues) during that span.
2. Kings have been leaning a lot on young defensemen without Drew Doughty
All things considered, the Los Angeles Kings have handled life without Drew Doughty extremely well. That said, matchups are key in the NHL playoff pressure cooker, and some young Kings defensemen could be thrown into the fire against McDavid, Draisaitl, and the rest of the Oilers’ top scorers.
Since Doughty’s latest injury absence, the Kings have leaned on a group of defensemen, including two relatively unknown rookies in Sean Durzi and Jordan Spence.
When you consider just how unforgiving the NHL can be to defensemen learning the ropes, it’s pretty awe-inspiring to see Durzi and Spence thrive to such a degree. Especially in their own ends.

With such scant NHL resumes, it’s dangerous to jump to too many conclusions. But it sure feels like Durzi and Spence could give the Kings some nice steals beyond their most-hyped prospects. The best rebuilds tend to unearth premium prospects after higher-profile first-rounders (Durzi: 52nd overall [round 2] in 2018; Spence: 95th overall [round 4] in 2019).
Even if the Kings lean on more experienced defensemen like Matt Roy, Olli Maatta, and Troy Stecher against tippy-top Oilers scorers, it should be fascinating to watch Durzi and Spence in such a high-intensity environment.
All of that said, the Oilers might have the most intriguing young defenseman of the bunch in Evan Bouchard.
Interested to see how these playoffs go for Bouchard. I don't trust most of that Oilers defense but he has the look of someone who can make this series a quick win for Edmonton. pic.twitter.com/B2kHIeWVX3

3. The Oilers hold big special-teams advantages over the Kings
Ultimately, the Kings really must hope that their structure will allow them to smother the Oilers at even-strength. If this series is decided by special teams, Edmonton figures to have a huge advantage.
Considering how the Kings appear a little ahead of schedule in their rebuild, they shouldn’t be too ashamed of that Oilers advantage. But it’s undeniable.
With a 26-percent success rate, the Oilers power play ranked third-best in the NHL this season. The Kings, meanwhile, sat sixth-worst (16.1%). Interestingly, the Oilers penalty kill (79.4%) was also more effective than that of the Kings (76.7%).
Los Angeles must really hope that officials put their whistles away, just like they did when they ignored the Jets’ infractions on Connor McDavid during that sweep last year.
Prediction: Oilers eliminate Kings in six games.

While Clemson waits on more players to come off the board, a former Tiger was taken in the NFL Draft on Saturday.
Georgia cornerback Derion Kendrick was drafted in the sixth round by the Los Angeles Rams, who made the Rock Hill native the 212th overall pick. Kendrick spent three seasons at Clemson before playing his final college season at Georgia.
Kendrick was a two-year starting corner at Clemson after making the move from receiver after his freshman season. He was a first-team all-ACC selection in 2020 before being dismissed from the team shortly after that season.
He had 41 tackles and a team-high four interceptions for Georgia this past season.

SIBU (May 1): Local entrepreneur Dr Gregory Hii sees better days ahead for the tourism sector following the relaxation of Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOP) from today.
With reference to Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah announcement that Sarawak has reinstated 90 per cent flight frequency and added new routes of Penang – Kuching and Singapore – Miri, Hii opined that those who were unable to travel back to Malaysia during the pandemic would probably do so now.
“Travel activities are expected to pick up in the next few months and hopefully, this will be a huge boost to tourism’s return to normal,” he stated.
He added that with the easing of Covid SOP, the onus is now on the people to manage their own health.
“Personally, I will continue to use face masks in crowded places and indoors.”
On another matter, Hii said Kuching Autonomous Rail Transit (ART) is a greener solution to meet increasing travel needs of growing cities and towns and bring about a chain of economic development.
“When the need arises, I hope for similar ART in Sibu, Bintulu and Miri.” | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/05/01/hii-better-days-ahead-with-easing-of-covid-sop/ | 2022-05-01T00:59:11Z | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/05/01/hii-better-days-ahead-with-easing-of-covid-sop/ | false | 1 |
Justin Ashley picked up his first career No. 1 qualifier in Top Fuel on Saturday, clinching his first top spot at the Circle K NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at zMAX Dragway. John Force (Funny Car) and Angelle Sampey (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also qualified No. 1 at the sixth of 22 races during the 2022 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season.
On the strength of his pass of 3.669-seconds at 331.77 mph on Friday in his 11,000-horsepower Phillips Connect dragster powered by Vita C Shot, Ashley (pictured above) secured his first No. 1 position in his young career, doing so at the same track where he made his Top Fuel debut in 2019. Ashley will open eliminations in a first-round quad that also features Cameron Ferre, Austin Prock and Antron Brown, looking to power to his second win of 2022 and potentially take over the points lead in Top Fuel.
“We’ve accomplished a lot in a short period of time, but to be able to sit here and say we’ve qualified No. 1 at an event like this with the depth in this Top Fuel field, it really says a lot about our team,” Ashley said. “I’m along for the ride and I’m enjoying it, that much I can tell you. There’s pressure on raceday because it’s raceday. It’s just about going out there and putting our best foot forward.”
Leah Pruett qualified second with a 3.686 at 327.51, making a series of strong runs in qualifying, while four-time defending event winner Steve Torrence grabbed the third spot with a 3.694. Prock, who qualified eighth, broke the track speed record during the final session with a blast of 333.58. Points leader Brittany Force, who has back-to-back wins this year, qualified seventh.
In Funny Car, Force’s track-record run of 3.850 at 334.24 from Friday in his 11,000-horsepower PEAK/BlueDEF Platinum Chevrolet Camaro SS helped the 16-time world champ secure his first top qualifier of the year and 164th in his career. Force is the defending event winner at the four-wide event in Charlotte and has already enjoyed a solid weekend at “The Bellagio of Dragstrips,” making three stellar passes during qualifying. He’ll try to get his first win of 2022, opening Sunday with a quad that features Bob Tasca III and Alexis DeJoria.
“It’s a team effort and Robert Hight ran quicker, 3.87 to our 3.89 (in the final qualifying session), but feel I good about that because three out of four good runs for us and a little consistency,” Force said. “If Robert wins, we win, but I want to win, too. He’s got a couple on board (in 2022); I need to get going there. Consistency is what we’re looking for. I’m trying to find myself on the Tree. So, good day for (our team) and let’s see where tomorrow goes.”
Points leader Matt Hagan, who won last weekend in Houston, stayed in second thanks to his pass of 3.867 at 330.55 from Friday, while defending world champ Ron Capps rounded out the top three thanks to his 3.873 at 332.02.
Sampey turned in a banner performance on Saturday, making two quality runs on her Mission Foods/Vance & Hines Suzuki, including a top run of 6.714 at 201.16 to give the three-time world champion her first No. 1 qualifier of the season and the 54th in her career. Sampey added another strong run of 6.721 at 201.82 to close out the day, giving her the two quickest runs of the weekend thus far and plenty of momentum heading into eliminations on Sunday. Sampey, who will meet Kelly Clontz, Joey Gladstone and defending world champ Matt Smith in the first round of eliminations, is seeking her first win of the season.
“We were a little late on this No. 1 qualifier,” Sampey said. “We should have had it in Gainesville, we should have had it in Houston, and we definitely got it here, thank goodness. I knew my Suzuki had it in it, but I’ve been most of the problem. It’s just an awesome motorcycle and (crew chief) Andrew (Hines) is doing a great job tuning. This team gives me everything I need and it’s up to me to get the job done, and I’m going to work on that tomorrow. The confidence is definitely coming and we’re learning the bike together, and it’s all coming together.”
Friday’s provisional No. 1 Steve Johnson, who won last weekend in Houston, improved on his time, taking the second spot after going 6.732 at 200.05. Points leader Karen Stoffer is third thanks to a 6.763 at 199.79.
In the FuelTech NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by D-Wagon, Justin Bond drove to the No. 1 position with his pass of 5.744 at 248.20. It is the sixth career No. 1 qualifier for Bond, who will look for his first win of the season at a race that is powered by Precision Racing Suspension. Gainesville winner Kris Thorne qualified second with a 5.751 at 253.42 and Rickie Smith is third after going 5.760 at 252.76.
Eliminations for the Circle K NHRA Four-Wide Nationals begin at 11 a.m. ET on Sunday at zMAX Dragway. | https://racer.com/2022/04/30/ashley-j-force-sampey-lead-into-charlotte-four-wide-finals/ | 2022-05-01T01:06:50Z | https://racer.com/2022/04/30/ashley-j-force-sampey-lead-into-charlotte-four-wide-finals/ | false | 2 |

backs win pitchers' duel over Cards thanks to 8th-inning HRs
Article content
Ketel Marte and Nick Ahmed hit home runs in the eighth inning, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 2-0 win Saturday over the host St. Louis Cardinals.
Arizona had just two hits to that point.
The home run by Marte was his first of the season and also the first allowed this season by St. Louis right-hander Miles Mikolas, who was engaged in a pitchers’ duel with Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly through seven innings.
Marte’s home run to right field led off the eighth inning, and one out later, Nick Ahmed cleared the left-field wall to put Arizona ahead 2-0.

Marte was in a 1-for-28 slump before the home run.
Mikolas (1-1) was then relieved by Genesis Cabrera after pitching 7 1/3 innings and allowing four hits with seven strikeouts with no walks.
Kelly (2-1) allowed two hits in seven scoreless innings with four strikeouts and no walks. Ian Kennedy pitched a hitless ninth inning for his first save of the season.
St. Louis played without Nolan Arenado, who is batting .375 and entered Saturday leading the National League in slugging percentage (.681) and OPS (1.125). He served a one-game suspension for inciting a bench-clearing brawl with the New York Mets on Wednesday. Arenado’s suspension was reduced from two games to one after an appeal.
The duel between Kelly and Mikolas included each allowing only one hit through the fifth inning.

Harrison Bader had St. Louis’ hit in the second inning with a two-out single and he stole second before Dylan Carlson grounded out.
Ahmed, who went 2-for-3 to boost his batting average to .368, reached on an infield single to start the third inning. He was quickly erased on a double play by the next batter, Sergio Alcantara.
Pavin Smith hit a single with two outs in the top of the sixth inning and moved to second on a stolen base before Mikolas struck out Jordan Luplow.
The Cardinals threatened in the bottom of the sixth after Kelly hit Edmundo Sosa with a pitch with one out. After Sosa stole second base, he moved to third base on a flyout to center by Tommy Edman.
Paul Goldschmidt then hit a slow roller to Ahmed at shortstop. With Sosa running toward home plate, Ahmed charged the ball, bare-handed it and threw to first base a split second before Goldschmidt touched the base for the last out of the frame.

CINCINNATI (AP)The Cincinnati Bengals continued to add defensive depth, taking Florida defensive tackle Zachary Carter in the third round of the NFL draft on Friday night.
The Bengals had traded up three spots to get Nebraska cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt in the second after taking safety Daxton Hill in the opening round Thursday.
Again Cincinnati addressed another one of its needs, seeking to pump up the pass rush after losing interior lineman Larry Ogunjobi to free agency. The 6-foot-4, 285-pound Carter, the 95th pick in the draft, started 12 games for the Gators in 2021, compiling 32 tackles, 11 for loss with eight sacks, and two pass breakups.
He played in every defensive alignment at various times in three years at Florida. Cincinnati defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo said Carter will start out as a traditional defensive tackle.
”I’m a versatile playmaker,” Carter said. ”I can line up anywhere and make plays anywhere rushing the passer and in the run game. I’m a disruptive defender.”
Earlier Thursday, the Bengals got Taylor-Britt with the 60th overall pick.
Cincinnati came into the draft hoping to address its depth at cornerbackafter cutting the oft-injured Trae Waynes. They had re-signed the sometimes inconsistent Eli Apple, who started last season, but want some more options for a starter next to Chidobe Awuzie.
”We see him as an outside corner to come in and compete,” coach Zac Taylor said. ”We love his energy, his athleticism, his size and his speed.”
Taylor said they liked Taylor-Britt’s attitude, character and practice demeanor.
”My visit there was amazing,” the player said. ”To get picked up by a team like the Bengals is surreal right now.”
The 22-year-old Taylor-Britt had 51 tackles, three for loss, broke up 11 passes and had one interception in 12 starts for the Cornhuskers in 2021. He allowed just 35 completions on 66 targets for 351 yards and three touchdowns last season.
The 5-foot-11, 196-pound Taylor-Britt started at safety, slot and outside cornerback at Oklahoma. He ran a 4.38 40 at the combine.
Cincinnati, with the second-to-last pick in Thursday night’s first round, grabbed Hill. While they were looking for a cornerback, the Bengals couldn’t pass on Hill, whom they didn’t expect would still be available that late. Taylor said he expects Hill will fit in as a safety and nickel cornerback.
The Bengals, who made a stunning run to their first Super Bowl in 33 years last season, addressed their offensive line needs through free agency, getting guard/center Ted Karras, right guard Alex Cappa and right tackle La’el Collins.

Bonitto became the 33rd St. Thomas Aquinas graduate to have been drafted by an NFL team.
“I just had a feeling that if I made it to them, that I would be blessed enough to get picked there,” Bonitto said. “That’s what happened.”
Listed at 6 feet 3 and 248 pounds, the outside linebacker heads to Denver after four years with the Sooners. Bonitto started 29 times in 39 games during his time with the program, amassing 117 tackles, 18.5 sacks, one forced fumble, three fumble recoveries, one interception, and 24 quarterback hurries.
“My [pass-rush] I feel is one of a kind,” said Bonitto. “I feel like it can definitely add to and complement different guys in the room. Just being able to fit in where I can when it comes to rushing. That is the goal out there.”
A four-star recruit, per 247Sports’ rankings, Bonitto played for the Raiders from 2015 to 2017, helping the school win state titles in his first two seasons. He was named the Broward 8A-6A football defensive player of the year in his final season.
His numbers in last month’s NFL Combine included a 4.54 time in the 40-yard dash and 35.5 vertical jump.
“This is crazy man, how everything happened,” Bonitto said. “Just getting that call. I could not even hold it back. I cannot wait to get to work.”

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Rochester school officials are investigating allegations that a white teacher told his class of mostly Black students to pick seeds out of cotton and put on handcuffs during lessons on slavery in a seventh-grade social studies class.
“It made me feel bad to be a Black person,” student Jahmiere O’Neal told news outlets.
The teacher has been put on leave while the school system investigates the allegations. They came to light after an appalled parent posted on Facebook that her daughter was confronted with the cotton-picking lesson Tuesday.
“He made a mockery out of slavery,” the mother, Precious Tross, who also goes by Precious Morris, told news outlets later.
“I don’t have a problem with you teaching our kids about slavery and what our ancestors went through and how they had to pick cotton,” she said. “Our teachers back in the day told us that, but they don’t bring in cotton and make you pick cotton seeds out of cotton.”
School officials haven’t identified the teacher. Teachers union President Adam Urbanski told WXXI-AM that “if someone departs from what they should be doing, they should suffer the consequences, but due process has to be allowed first.”
Tross and Vialma Ramos-O’Neal, who is Jahmiere’s mother, said the teacher let white children refuse to take part in the cotton-picking while not letting kids of color opt out.
“I immediately was like, ‘Oh, I’m not doing that,’” said Morris’ daughter, Ja’Nasia Brown. “And then he was like, ‘Do it. It’s for a good grade.’”
On another occasion, the teacher brought in handcuffs and shackles, according to the students. Tross said that when her daughter balked at putting them on, the teacher threatened to send her to the principal’s office or the school counselor.
The parents are calling for the teacher’s firing and for his teaching license to be revoked.
School Principal Kelly Nicastro told parents in a letter that school leaders “take these allegations very seriously,” and a statement from the school board called them “extremely troubling.”
“In a district of Black and brown students, it is important to be sensitive of the historical framework by which our students are engaging and learning,” board President Cynthia Elliott said. About half the School of the Arts’ students are Black. | https://www.keloland.com/news/national-world-news/teacher-under-fire-for-cotton-cuffs-in-class-on-slavery/ | 2022-05-01T01:44:00Z | https://www.keloland.com/news/national-world-news/teacher-under-fire-for-cotton-cuffs-in-class-on-slavery/ | true | 37 |
As the nation prepares in earnest for a potential terror attack, public officials walk a fine line between informing people and generating panic. Bio-terror experts say precautions such as covering windows with plastic sheeting and duct tape are unnecessary for most people and ineffective for others.

Different companies have different approaches. Some want to open multiple offices (intra-city centres) within large metros to reduce commute time for employees; there is also a big jump in interest for opening smaller spoke offices in small cities, owing to increased availability of employable talent due to pandemic-led migration.

WICHITA, Kan. — A tornado that barreled through parts of Kansas destroyed or damaged hundreds of homes and buildings, injured several people and left more than 15,000 people without power, officials said Saturday.
In addition to wreckage from the tornado itself, three University of Oklahoma meteorology students traveling back from storm chasing in Kansas were also killed in a crash Friday evening, according to officials.
Nicholas Nair, 20, of Denton, Texas; Gavin Short, 19, of Grayslake, Illinois; and Drake Brooks, 22, of Evansville, Indiana, died in the crash shortly before 11:30 p.m. Friday, according to an Oklahoma Highway Patrol report.
The three were in a vehicle being driven by Nair southbound on Interstate 35 when the vehicle hydroplaned and was struck by a tractor-trailer rig in Tonkawa, about 85 miles (137 kilometers) north of Oklahoma City, the report said.
A statement released by OU said: "The university is devastated to learn of the tragic passing of three students. Each were valued and loved members of our community."
More than 1,000 buildings were affected when a strong twister swept through Andover on Friday evening, according to authorities. In the daylight Saturday, emergency crews found a more widespread path of destruction than was earlier estimated.
"We now know that our damage path extended approximately 3 1/2 to 4 miles (5.6 to 6.4 kilometers) to the north of where we believed it to have ended last night," Andover Deputy Fire Chief Mike Roosevelt said at a briefing.
There were no reported fatalities or critical injuries from the tornado itself, despite the widespread destruction. Officials said only a few injuries had been reported. In Sedgwick County, three people were injured, including one woman who sustained serious injuries.
Search and rescue operations continued Saturday with more than 200 emergency responders from 30 agencies. Officials kept volunteers away from the damage until a secondary search of debris is done.
Andover Fire Chief Chad Russell said earlier that some neighborhood homes "were completely blown away."
There are homes knocked completely off their foundations and entire neighborhoods wiped out, Russell said.
City Hall, the Andover YMCA and Prairie Creek Elementary School were among buildings heavily damaged.
Field crews from the National Weather Service worked Saturday to determine the extent and strength of the twister, said meteorologist Kevin Darmofal at the Wichita office.
Flor and Aldo Delgado said they prayed in the basement of their Andover home as a tornado passed right above them, destroying their home and cars.
The couple looked out of the window Friday night and saw the tornado beginning to form, so they headed to the basement.
"The lights started flickering and eventually went out, and within a minute from that the whole house started shaking and it was so loud. We started feeling water hitting our faces, and there was just dust everywhere. It lasted for what felt like a minute that it was right above us," Aldo Delgado said.
Flor Delgado said she could hear their home being torn apart as they prayed for their safety, the Wichita Eagle reported.
"In the moment I realized there is absolutely nothing we could do. I knew my husband felt it too because he was calm and comforting me, but at one point he just starts losing it and crying. I could hear his voice cracking as he's praying," she said.
Once the tornado passed, the couple made it out of the debris with only the clothes on their backs. Their home, cars and personal items are gone.
"We didn't even have our wedding rings on at the time," Flor Delgado added.
Gov. Laura Kelly declared a State of Disaster Emergency for the hardest-hit areas. The declaration makes state resources available to help local jurisdictions with response and recovery efforts in areas impacted statewide.
Evergy said about 15,000 customers lost power during the tornado and that work continued to restore electricity. Any broken gas and water lines were shut off and by noon there were no known active leaks.
In addition to the tornadoes, large hail was reported in several towns across the Plains. Hail the size of softballs was spotted near Holbrook, Nebraska, and Enterprise, Kansas, according to the National Weather Service and storm spotters.

The Whites, looking for points to aid their battle against relegation from the Premier League, slipped behind with 13 minutes on the clock when Rodri struck for Manchester City.
Leeds pushed the Citizens though and were still in the game at half time, as both sides went in without any further goals being scored.
Manchester City though struck quickly in the second half, through Nathan Ake in the 54th minute, while further goals from Gabriel Jesus (78th minute) and Fernandinho (93rd minute) sealed the deal.
Despite the defeat, which leaves Leeds five points above the drop zone, Marsch is upbeat and feels his side’s performance was such that the game feels like a win.
“On the scoresheet it’s a loss but in many ways I think it’s a win”, he told his post match press conference.
“It’s a crazy thing to say but it’s how I feel.”
The American believes Leeds put the game plan he set out into practise and were undone by set pieces.
“We were able to execute the match plan against and with the ball.
“The two set pieces were really the difference on the day.”
Next up for Leeds is a trip to the capital to take on top four chasing Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. | https://insidefutbol.com/2022/04/30/in-many-ways-i-think-its-a-win-jesse-marsch-on-leeds-uniteds-loss-against-manchester-city/557684/ | 2022-05-01T02:40:35Z | https://insidefutbol.com/2022/04/30/in-many-ways-i-think-its-a-win-jesse-marsch-on-leeds-uniteds-loss-against-manchester-city/557684/ | true | 1 |

Argy-bargy on wages
Union-backed minimum hike to 492 baht scares some bosses
published : 1 May 2022 at 08:00
newspaper section: News
writer: Penchan Charoensuthipanม Mongkol Bangprapa and Satid Sootipunya
Being paid 340 baht a day, according to Suthichai Pongpinijkul, 26, is not a sufficient wage to live on.
In the past, he could fill his motorcycle with gas for 60 baht, which could last almost a week, but today 60 baht buys enough to last just three days. He can't even afford a savings plan for his future.
He is not alone. Those who earn daily wages feel the value of their incomes has diminished.
Sunisa Chomyong, a 40-year-old saleswoman, said her daily 300 baht in earnings was too little. "Everything is more expensive but my daily wage has stayed still for years," she said.
Workers generally depend on the minimum wage and overtime payments. Without pay rises and with fuel and food prices spiralling, they are suffering.
Wichai Narapaiboon, manager of the Labour Museum, said raising the minimum wage will help improve workers' quality of life, and boost their morale.
The nationwide minimum wage rise to 300 baht in 2013 increased labour productivity but a living wage is traditionally only part of election campaigns to woo voters, he said.
While the government is aware that the daily minimum wage is insufficient and plans to restructure production processes, it has yet to take the issue seriously, he said.
Escaping the middle-income trap as proposed by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha needs political will, said Mr Wichai.
The wage is used as a basis to calculate workers' benefits from overtime payments to loss of income compensation claims, severance pay and retirement benefits.
The last wage increases were issued in January 2020, ranging from 313 baht to 336 baht.
Chon Buri and Phuket have the highest rate while Bangkok and surrounding provinces get 331 baht. The lowest rate of 313 baht is in the southern provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala.
Higher wages, higher spending power
Assoc Prof Kiriya Kulkolkarn, an economist from Thammasat University, said many countries have raised wages to reflect higher costs of living and maintain workers' purchasing power.
Thailand's inflation in March increased to 5.73%, the highest in 10 years. This affects low-income house‑ holds especially given soaring fuel and food prices, she said.
However, it is anybody's guess if the rate will be increased again this year, she said.
She said most industries are utilising contract manufacturing and keeping costs including labour low is standard practice.
If production processes are not structured, the country will struggle to attain "developed nation" status.
Lae Dilokwitthayarat, a labour specialist and economist at Chulalongkorn University, said businesses see employees as costs that need to be kept low while workers demand living wages to match the rising costs of living.
"If the wages aren't enough, it's the government's job to restore workers' dignity by guaranteeing their income," he said.
He said several factors used to review and raise wages by the national tripartite wage committee such as inflation, the cost of living, production costs, GDP and labour productivity, are contradictory.
Kritsada Teeragosolpong, a social science lecturer at Silpakorn University's faculty of arts, said workers earning minimum wages or slightly higher are not pinning their hopes on an increase.
They want to put in extra hours for overtime pay to bring extra income and will change jobs if the prospect of overtime pay is good, he said.
"Proper wages should allow workers to make a decent living without having to work overtime so they have time to develop and enhance skills," he said.
He shared the findings of a survey of 1,225 workers, most with a monthly salary, in February which showed that about 75% work as many as 14 hours to boost their income and 25% earn between 3,000-6,000 from overtime.
About 88% of workers have monthly debts to pay and of this group, about 28% have to pay between 10,000 and 20,000 a month and 10% pay about 20,000–30,000 baht.
Mr Kritsada said the national wage committee should review minimum wages at least once a year to match inflation and the cost of living while the government should consider electricity, water or internet subsidies to help ease their burden.
Unions: wage hike is overdue
Ahead of today's Labour Day when workers call for better pay and protections, the Thai Labour Solidarity Committee (TLSC) and the State Enterprises Workers' Relations Confederation (SEWRC) are demanding a new rate of 492 baht nationwide.
Chalee Loysoong, adviser to the TLSC, said labour groups believe the business community can pay the figure which is based on a survey of the cost of living back in 2017.
"Employers can manage and they know how. Eventually the government will roll out assistance, so we aren't afraid about relocation of production bases [to other countries] as a result," he said.
He also said some employers pay daily minimum wages to long-serving workers despite the rate also being applied to entry-level and unskilled ones.
A source in a sub-committee on wages in Chachoengsao said businesses agree with wage increases to retain workers who may otherwise move to higher-paying provinces such as Chon Buri and Rayong.
The current rates range from 313 baht to 336 baht with Chon Buri and Phuket having the highest rate and the southern provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala, the lowest rate.
"The wage hike should also take into consideration industrial zones. The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) provinces should adopt the same rate to avoid migration of workers," said the source.
A source in the sub-committee on wages in Prachin Buri said the wage hike will be a boon to subcontract workers who do not have an annual pay rise review and are paid a daily minimum wage.
Chantana Ek-ua-manee, a coordinator of the Foundation for Labor and Employment Promotion, agreed that wage increases will help informal workers who have little or zero negotiating power.
She said wage hikes also will increase the spending power of other groups of low-income earners such as taxi-motorcyclists and vendors.
Bosses: Big rise could spur job cuts
With the economic slowdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the crisis in Ukraine, a sharp increase in wages could do more harm than good, business associations say.
Kriangkrai Tiannukul, chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries, said businesses understand the workers' plight from soaring prices but said the cost of living varies from province to province.
He said a nationwide increase to 492 baht is highly unlikely and if the hike is implemented at the wrong time it will backfire.
If the wages are too high and businesses cannot absorb the costs, price increases will result as firms pass on the cost to customers. And if consumers do not spend and businesses cannot raise revenue to compensate, lay-offs will result, he said.
Thanit Sorat, vice-chairman of the Employers' Confederation of Thailand (Ecot), said the proposed increase is too much for employers to shoulder, and this was not the time to increase the wages. "If the government wants to help workers, it can provide short-term assistance to the groups that are affected," he said.
Thaniwan Kulmongkol, president of the Thai Restaurant Association, said the association disagrees with the proposed increase to 492 baht which will drive up other costs as well.
She said a wage increase has impacts on businesses because when it is implemented it must be done across the board. The proposed increase will badly hurt businesses which are still struggling to get on their feet, she said. "When the operators heard the figure, they felt like someone had hit them. I hope the government will talk to the unions and help them understand the economic situation," she said.
The tripartite national wage committee is expected to finalise a proposal calling for an increase in minimum daily wages in August but it is unlikely to approve a proposed flat-rate wage of 492 baht a day, said one labour official.
Permanent secretary of Labour Ministry Boonchob Suttamanaswong said the committee, which comprises labour, business and government representatives, is expected to reach a decision in August or September.
He said he thinks the wages are likely to be raised, but has no idea by how much.
A source close to the committee said the panel will take into consideration arguments from businesses and labour groups.
The committee sympathises with employers and workers and the committee will propose other measures to help ease the workers' burden if the increase is small, he said. A sharp rise will deal a blow to several businesses particularly the SMEs, said the source.
Academics back wage rises
Somjai Phagaphasvivat, an independent political and economic analyst, said it is time to increase wages to match cost of living which varies from area to area.
He said the economy is on the road to recovery but faces some hiccups from the Russia-Ukraine crisis. The government, he said, should do more to stimulate the economy. About 60%-70% of its spending so far has involved economic rehabilitation, he said.
Sompop Manarangsan, president of the Panyapiwat Institute of Management (PIM), said wage flexibility is important or it will disrupt balance between demand and supply.
"Wages must at least cover inflation to maintain purchasing power because local consumption accounts for more than 50% of GDP. If this factor is weak, the economy will contract and so will GDP," he said.
According to Mr Sompop, the country cannot rely on external factors, be it international trade or tourism. He said wage increases have been small and the influx of migrant workers is likely to be a key factor.
"We must encourage Thai workers to upgrade their skills so their pay will rise to reflect that." | https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/special-reports/2302974/argy-bargy-on-wages | 2022-05-01T02:52:08Z | https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/special-reports/2302974/argy-bargy-on-wages | true | 1 |
