Scone visitors chasing bumper day at Gunnedah meeting
By Neil Evans
Less than two weeks out from their feature autumn Cup Carnival, Scone stables are set to cut a swathe through Monday’s feature Gunnedah meeting.
On what could be a rare sight of a country track bathed in sunshine, the invaders from the Upper Hunter could grab all but one race on the seven-race program.
Heading the charge is the Paul Messara stable, with a pair of runners destined to tackle much stronger targets.
Promising and still improving Panzer Division four-year-old Fiendish is hunting back-to-back wins in a deep Class 1 Hcp over 1250m.
Having been agonisingly close in a string of runs earlier in his career, Fiendish can now set about chalking up the wins to match those run of near misses.
He was edged out by a nose resuming as a hot favourite four weeks ago before easily beating a maiden field at Muswellbrook as a raging $1.20 fancy. But unlike that day when he drew a soft gate, this time he has to overcome a wide barrier carrying a career-high 60kg.
The Messara camp will also be confident with progressive three-year-old and impressive last start Class 1 winner Silver City when he tackles a Class 2 Hcp over the mile.
But the stable’s most impressive runner could come earlier when Japanese-sired four-year-old Outburst lines up in a Benchmark 58 Hcp over 2050m aiming to record a third win from only eight starts carrying a whopping 65kg.
Experienced heavyweight rider Aaron “Raging Bull” Bullock rides all three Messara runners.
Meanwhile, Scone seemingly has a mortgage on the opening race - Maiden Plate (1000m) - with a quartet of three-year-olds.
Scott Singleton resumes talented Shikanic, Brett Cavanough has Just Strolling second-up, Rod Northam pins his faith in fresh filly Bootscooter, while Messara has well-bred filly Hubie Dubie facing the starter for a third time.
Later on the program, one of Northam’s better value chances emerges in the Somerton Cup (1400m) at BM 58 grade, with fast-finishing and talented mare Spritza Seritza who is still searching for a second win ahead of her 18th start after several near and luckless misses this year.

Happy May Day!
Sophie had quite the day yesterday. We were out all day. She went to our youngest grandson's baseball game while my husband went to our middle grandson's baseball game.
Then we all went to lunch, our son's house, Target, our son's house again, picked up dinner, then finally made it back home.
Sophie went for walks on a leash, was a magnet to kids and was also pushed in a stroller. She had a lot of energy and spring in her step, like a young pup.
When at my son's home, Nova wanted to play with Sophie. However, Sophie was safest in Nova's outdoor kennel. Nova is too big, powerful and heavy to play with 5 pound Sophie Belle, especially at the age of 14. Sophie held her ground but Nova could squash her like a bug. Needless to say, we all slept well. | https://365project.org/gardenfolk/365/2022-05-01 | 2022-05-01T09:02:43Z | https://365project.org/gardenfolk/365/2022-05-01 | true | 1 |
Many Chinese are marking a quiet May Day holiday this year as the government's zero-COVID approach restricts travel and enforces lockdowns in multiple cities.
All restaurants in Beijing are closed to dine-in customers from Sunday through the end of the holiday on Wednesday, open only for takeout and delivery. Parks and tourist attractions in the Chinese capital are limited to 50% of their capacity. The Universal Studios theme park in Beijing, which opened last year, said it had shut down temporarily.
The pandemic situation varies across the vast nation of 1.4 billion people, but the Transport Ministry said last week that it expected 100 million trips to be taken from Saturday to Wednesday, which would be down 60% from last year. Many of those who are traveling are staying within their province as local governments discourage or restrict cross-border travel to try to keep out new infections.
China is sticking to a strict zero-COVID policy even as many other countries are easing restrictions and seeing if they can live with the virus. Much of Shanghai — China's largest city and a finance, manufacturing and shipping hub — remains locked down, disrupting people's lives and dealing a blow to the economy.
The major outbreak in Shanghai, where the death toll has topped 400, appears to be easing. The city recorded 7,872 new locally transmitted cases on Saturday, down from more than 20,000 a day in recent weeks. Outside of Shanghai, only 384 new cases were found in the rest of mainland China.
Beijing, which has tallied 321 cases in the past nine days, is restricting activity to try to prevent a large outbreak and avoid a city-wide lockdown similar to Shanghai. Individual buildings and housing complexes with coronavirus cases have been locked down. Visitors to many office buildings and tourist sites such as the Great Wall must show proof of a negative COVID-19 test within the previous 48 hours.
Online booking agency Ctrip said last week that people were booking travel to cities that were mostly virus-free, such as Chengdu in Sichuan province and the nearby city of Chongqing. Other popular destinations included Wuhan, where the world's first major outbreak of COVID-19 occurred in early 2020. About half the orders on the Ctrip platform were for travel within a province. | https://www.voanews.com/a/6552407.html | 2022-05-01T09:06:01Z | https://www.voanews.com/a/6552407.html | true | 12 |

Ronnie O’Sullivan has admitted that he needs to be playing well to win tournaments, whereas in previous years he has got over the line when being below his best.
O’Sullivan advanced to his eighth World Championship final with a win over John Higgins, and he has produced some of his best snooker of the season over the past fortnight at the Crucible.
Ad
It is likely he will need to raise his level again when he takes on Judd Trump in the final, and the world No. 1 is aware of the need to keep his standards high.

World Championship: The Final LIVE – O'Sullivan takes on Trump for Crucible glory
"I can’t pot as well as Neil Robertson, Judd,” O’Sullivan told Eurosport. “I have to play tight cue-ball control, good safety and manage my emotions.
“Before I used to have it pretty much in my own hands. The last two or three years it has not been the case, and I have played alright.
“I used to play alright and win tournaments, now alright is not enough. I have to play well, so there's a lot less margin for error in my game.”
'I've never seen him with this intensity' - O'Sullivan hits 10th Crucible century of 2022
In beating David Gilbert, Mark Allen, Stephen Maguire and Higgins to reach the final, O’Sullivan has produced some of the best snooker of anyone at the Crucible and he claimed the key to success in Sheffield is not to have a bad session.
“All through the tournament I have been in and out as I have not been at my best,” the 46-year-old said. “I have been steady and I have always said steady wins this tournament.
“If you can play 70% for 80% of this tournament you have a great chance of winning it.
“It is when you play well for 50% and go missing for half, that’s when it gets a bit dodgy - you can end up playing catch up.
“It is important to be steady in this tournament and not brilliant.”
'Most dramatic frame of World Championship' - O'Sullivan with 'extraordinary' clear-up
Reflecting on his win over Higgins, O’Sullivan said: “It was a tough match. John was granite.
“I could see he was not performing at his best, so it was hard as he was battening down the hatches and it was hard to not get sucked in and just try and play my game, keep my flow, keep my rhythm.
“You know what he is capable of, so you can never relax.”

Robert A. Taft III served as Ohio’s 67th governor from 1999 to 2007. During his tenure, he instituted a temporary one-half cents sales tax increase to generate revenue during the recession, cut the income tax rate, and focused on expanding high tech jobs and improving education, among other initiatives.
Taft now serves as a distinguished research associate at the University of Dayton. In an interview, he discussed how politics has changed since he left office, what he does and doesn’t miss, and whether he could be elected today.
The conversation has been edited for brevity and clarity.
Do you miss politics?
No. Do I miss being governor? Yes. But I don’t miss the political combat. I mean, I enjoyed working with legislators and meeting people around the state. You make a lot of friendships.
But campaigning isn’t easy.
Campaigning is very hard work. very repetitive. I don’t miss the parades, although parades are important. They’re important for visibility, but it’s hard work to smile for an hour.
How has politics, in your view, changed since the time as governor?
I think politics has become more hyper-partisan. It’s become more like war. And it’s become that way to some extent in both parties. Compromise with the other side, even to get something important, is frowned upon. There’s more, I think, dislike of the other side. That’s especially true at the national level, with fewer close relationships among elected officials across the aisle, where people really got to know each other as people as human beings. Columbus has been infected somewhat by the national divisions, the national polarization, so there’s probably less working across the aisle now in Columbus than there used to be.
How have the political parties changed?
The Republican Party has moved more to the right, Democrats more to the left. There used to be more moderates. When I was starting in politics, the Democratic Party was the party of the working class, and the Republicans more business, maybe upscale. Well, now, the Democrat Party is more of the party of the coastal elites, so to speak, and less the party of the working class. And, you know, (former President Donald) Trump did very well with the working-class areas of the country that had been hollowed out by globalization, China, the decline of manufacturing, and so forth.
How did Republicans make gains with working-class voters?
I think the Democratic Party became more associated with identity politics and removed themselves from their traditional constituency, who then didn’t have a home. I’m not an expert, but I think that those communities, those middle income, blue-collar communities that have more traditional values, felt that the Democratic Party was no longer speaking to them.
What’s your philosophy of governing?
It’s a combination of conservative and pragmatic. The state has certain jobs like funding schools, transportation, park systems, public services. So that’s my philosophy of government. That was my dad’s (Bob Taft Jr.) too back when Congress. He voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Bill. He was a moderate Republican. But today, if you look at Congress, and if you look at state legislatures, no Republican would want to call themselves a moderate.
Do you think you could be elected today?
I’m not sure. I think some of the conservative Republicans thought I was a RINO (Republican In Name Only) anyway. I might give a State of the State speech and talk about the need to rebuild our highways, or we need a clean Ohio fund for trails and parks and waterways. And then some Republicans would say, now we want to hear the Republican response to Governor Taft’s speech. (chuckles)
Do we run the risk of running good people out of government?
I think that’s a great risk, that good people are not going to want to run because it is so partisan, so nasty. The lack of civility is an issue, too. The lack of respect for human differences, for human dignity. I think that’s a real problem, so I’m very concerned.

MOSCOW — Longtime Moscow Renaissance Fair volunteer Marshal “Dean” Pittenger had a lifelong mantra.
His friend of 40 years, Mike Alperin, said that no matter where Pittenger went, the first words out of his mouth were always, “How can I help?”
On Saturday, Alperin joined other Renaissance Fair volunteers at East City Park to raise a beer in honor of the late Pittenger, who died of cancer in February 2021. They did so in the newly named Dean Pittenger Beer Garden.
Alperin sat next to Pittenger’s widow, Andrea Choscho-Pittenger, who also toasted to her late husband.
“He would have loved to have been here,” Chosch-Pittenger said. “So, I’m just happy.”
She said it was Pittenger who first organized the Renaissance Fair beer garden by getting the necessary city permits and bringing in local brewers.
That was just one example of how he contributed to the annual Moscow event.
“If you’ve been volunteering for the Ren Fair this year you know that he left a tremendous void by his passing last year because he took care of so many different things in the fair,” said current Renaissance Fair president Jeanne McHale.
McHale said Pittenger served as president for five years and vice president for many years after that.
Pittenger was also the emergency medical technician who administered first aid, and performed traffic control, too.
Outside of the Renaissance Fair, Pittenger volunteered his services at the medical tent for local music festivals and kept the books for KRFP Radio Free Moscow. Chosch-Pittenger said he was a ski patroller who taught winter emergency care.
According to his obituary, he also served on the Moscow Food Co-op board for two years.
Chosch-Pittenger summed up why he was always ready to help.
“That was his nature,” she said.

…Charges aspirants to lower flags in honour of kidnapped Abuja-Kaduna train attack victims
By Dirisu Yakubu, ABUJA
A Presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Moses Ayom has withdrawn from the race citing the failure of his party to zone the ticket to the Middle-Belt region.
Ayom, who announced his withdrawal while breaking fast at the weekend with members of the Interfaith Clerics Council of Nigeria at the event centre he donated to the APC, named “APC First arena” in Abuja, has been a frontline campaigner for Middle-Belt Presidency.
He told newsmen that his decision to quit the race was also in total submission to the Abdullahi Adamu-led National Working Committee of the APC.
“On the basis of all these, I wish to state without any form of equivocation, that I am standing down my aspiration for the Presidency of our country summarily. I wish to state very boldly that we shall return at the right time.” Ayom stated.
Adamu, it would be recalled, told journalists on Friday at the Presidential Villa that the party had not taken any decision on the zoning of the Presidency, saying such a decision was beyond the National Working Committee, but a prerogative of the entire party structure.
In his Sallah message, Ayom called on all Presidential aspirants across party lines to lower their political flags in honour of the victims of the Abuja Kaduna train attack still in captivity.
On a trip down memory lane, he gave an account of what informed his decision to join the race.
“It all started with the visit of the Middle Belt Christian Bishops, closely followed by the visit of the Middle Belt Imams all under the auspices of the Interfaith Clerics Council of Nigeria. I also had visits from the South East and South-South Leaders who came to confer on me the title of Eze Igbo Ndu 1 (The saviour of the Igbo race) and called on me to also contest. Since then, I have been inundated with calls from the women, less privileged, youths and the less privileged all singing one song that they have found in me the right qualities to put Nigeria back on the map of foremost development based on my antecedents.
“I accepted this call with the hope that if elected President, relief and succour will come to our people who for decades, would experience equity, fairness and justice because they have suffered untold marginalisation and maltreatment in the form of economic and social deprivation arising from political slavery. The wanton destruction of lives and property through terrorism, banditry and kidnappings which had been meted out to the Middle-Belt region is a classical example.
“In response to the call, we traversed the length and breadth of Nigeria starting with the Tiv Traditional council under the Tor Tiv, HRM (Prof.) James Ayatse, and all the paramount rulers in the Tiv kingdom blessed me saying “ go forth and conquer for the masses using truth as his weapon,” he recalled.
He also expressed dismay at the failure of the party to reduce the N100 million nomination fee for the presidential nomination form, saying “I made another passionate call to the leadership of our party a few days ago, to align with the call of Mr. President to avoid the pitfall of conceding the elections into the hands of the highest bidder.
“I called for the review of the high prices for a nomination form, the highest in the history of the country. The Interfaith Clerics Council also wrote a letter and visited the national chairman asking for a review of the prices all to no avail.”
Ayo added that he believed the APC was built on progressives ideals which were why Nigerians voted for it in 2015 and again in 2019, stressing however that “we cannot at this point be seen not to walk our talk.”
The aspirant advised President Muhammadu Buhari not to jettison the economic diversification policy of his government, saying a diversified economy is what Nigeria needs to make the most of her resource endowment. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/05/2023-ayom-quits-presidential-race-over-apcs-failure-to-zone-ticket-to-middle-belt/ | 2022-05-01T09:27:21Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/05/2023-ayom-quits-presidential-race-over-apcs-failure-to-zone-ticket-to-middle-belt/ | true | 2 |
Savvy Shopper: The lowdown on alternative energy sources
With statewide electricity outages last year and higher utility prices going forward, many have taken an interest in powering their home using solar and wind technology. Even before all the turmoil, I have always been intrigued by alternative energy and have had high hopes for it over the long run. For a variety of reasons, I am less-than-optimistic in the near-term. Along with cost, there are many factors that make economical home-grown power challenging in Lubbock.
While I never say never regarding economically feasible solar (or wind), this article covers a few issues you might consider when exploring alternatives:
• Utility rates: In 2002, Texas deregulated electric utilities and ushered in an era of rapidly rising complexity and prices. Fortunately, Lubbock was exempted from this scheme and enjoys relatively low rates compared to other areas. Although less expensive electricity is an unqualified benefit, it ironically diminishes renewable energy's prospects. Where solar panels might be economically feasible if prices are running at 20 cents per kilowatt hour, a substantially lower rate can represent a death sentence for this option.
• Incentives: States like California have been very aggressive in promoting green energy. When you consider that their incentives include tax breaks and subsidies provided by both the state government and utilities, home-based energy can pay off. In Lubbock, we don't have these inducements. While federal tax credits are still available, they are being phased out and are not enough to render solar or wind economical. Although a lack of incentives is disappointing, I will still take a lower electricity rate over subsidies.
• Buy back: As green energy varies with the availability of wind and sun, there may be times that a system's output exceeds what is needed. To capture the excess, some systems include batteries, which are expensive and add complexity. To help potential owners avoid such cost while capturing this power, some municipalities and states require that utilities “buy back” excess energy. While South Plains Electric Cooperative and Lubbock Power and Light provide “net metering”, neither provider pays for any excess energy that is generated over a billing cycle. This can be thought of as excess power gaining you store credit that can only be used to offset the electricity that the utility provides. However, the utility will never pay you for any surplus energy that you provide to the grid.
• Wind barriers: With some of the windiest conditions in the nation, you would think our city would be ideal for such power. Under certain conditions, this is absolutely true and the large wind turbines you see throughout our countryside testify to this. It is when you get residential that problems come up. Because of all the surrounding buildings, the wind at street-level is highly turbulent. When turbulence is induced, wind tends to fight itself and the effective energy available diminishes significantly. To avoid this, most turbine manufacturers recommend that you install blades at least 30 feet above the tallest building in your vicinity. With zoning, aesthetics, and potential liability, most city-dwellers can rule this option out.
• Solar barriers: Under ideal conditions, wind energy costs substantially less than solar. However, as you read in the previous section, residential conditions for wind are economically brutal and make solar power compare much more favorably. As a result, I consider the sun a much better option for your home. Unfortunately, generating solar electricity almost never pays here. The high installation costs, lack of incentives, low utility rates, and lack of buy-back provisions often comprise too high a barrier. Even though solar advocates will show solar systems “paying for themselves”, the fact is that the financial rates of return are typically negative.
• Outage mitigation: One reason many investigate going solar is to provide power should electricity outages occur. However, if you have any intention of tying your system to the grid, you can kiss this advantage goodbye (with very few exceptions)! Because of safety regulations, your system will be shut off like any other home. If you want details behind this, you can go here: https://www.spec.coop/solar-energy-faq. The exception to this rule is that there are companies like Generac that have power management systems that address this (https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/generac-power-cell-expert-review). However, as you may have guessed, it’s expensive!
• The good news: For the motivated, there are avenues to make alternative energy much more feasible. For example, used solar panels with a decent amount of remaining life are often available at steep discounts. In addition, doing much of the installation yourself can substantially reduce the cost. With a plethora of Youtube videos and online resources to help, this approach may be more accessible than you think! While these options may not be for everyone, they do exist.
Even though I might have you thinking otherwise, I am actually positive about solar and wind energy's prospects. In Lubbock, we simply have to come up with superior ideas to make it work. When we do, we will have even better systems because of it and will come out way ahead. Although the situation can be less than encouraging, optimism should always account for facts. If you have additional (or opposing!) ideas on green power, I encourage you to share them.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has led a Congressional delegation to Kyiv to meet with Ukraine's president before heading to Poland for talks with officials there.
Pelosi, a California Democrat and second in line to the presidency after the vice president, is the highest-ranking American leader to visit Ukraine since the start of the war, and her visit marks a major show of continuing support for the country's struggle against Russia.
"Our delegation traveled to Kyiv to send an unmistakable and resounding message to the entire world: America stands firmly with Ukraine," Pelosi said in a statement released Sunday.
Footage released by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's office showed Pelosi and other U.S. legislators in Kyiv.
The full Congressional delegation included Democratic Reps. Gregory Meeks of New York who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee; Adam Schiff, of California who chairs the House Intelligence Committee; Jim McGovern of Massachusetts who chairs the House Rules Committee; Jason Crow of Colorado; Barbara Lee of California; and Bill Keating of Massachusetts.
"You all are welcome," Zelenskyy told the delegation.
Pelosi told Zelenskyy: "We believe that we are visiting you to say thank you for your fight for freedom."
"We are on a frontier of freedom and your fight is a fight for everyone. Our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done," Pelosi added.
The visit wasn't previously announced.
Pelosi said the delegation would continue its trip in southeast Poland and the capital, Warsaw, to meet with President Andrzej Duda and other senior officials. Poland has received more than 3 million refugees from Ukraine since Russia launched its war on Feb. 24.
"We look forward to thanking our Polish allies for their dedication and humanitarian efforts," she said.
Previously, some women and children were evacuated from a steel plant that is the last defensive stronghold in the bombed-out ruins of the port city of Mariupol, a Ukrainian official and Russian state news organizations said, but hundreds are believed to remain trapped with little food, water or medicine.
The United Nations was working to broker an evacuation of the up to 1,000 civilians living beneath the sprawling Soviet-era Azovstal plant after numerous previous attempts failed. Ukraine has not said how many fighters are also in the plant, the only part of Mariupol not occupied by Russian forces, but Russia put the number at about 2,000. An estimated 100,000 civilians remain in the city.
U.N. humanitarian spokesperson Saviano Abreu said the world organization was negotiating with authorities in Moscow and Kyiv, but he could not provide details of the ongoing evacuation effort "because of the complexity and fluidity of the operation."
"There is, right now, ongoing, high-level engagements with all the governments, Russia and Ukraine, to make sure that you can save civilians and support the evacuation of civilians from the plant," Abreu told the AP. He would not confirm video posted on social media purportedly showing U.N.-marked vehicles in Mariupol.
Ukraine has blamed the failure of numerous previous evacuation attempts on continued Russian shelling.
In the town of Lyman in the Donetsk region, where at least half the population has fled Russian shelling, around 20 elderly people and children clutching bags along with their dogs and cats boarded a minivan marked with a sign reading "evacuation of children" in Ukrainian. It sped off toward the city of Dnipro as explosions were heard in the distance.
"The liberators have come and have freed us from what? Our lives?" said Nina Mihaylenko, a professor of Russian language and literature, referring to the Russian forces.
Galina Zuev and her husband Aleksander opted to stay, unwilling to leave the place they'd spent their entire lives.
"I am living not so well. There is a war here. They are shelling all the time. The windows have been smashed in our house. The missiles are in the yards," said 68-year-old Galina. "It is frightening."
Russian forces have embarked on a major military operation to seize significant parts of southern and eastern Ukraine, the country's industrial heartland. Ukrainian forces fought village by village Saturday to hold back the Russian advance.
Russia's RIA Novosti news agency said Saturday that 19 adults and six children were brought out from the steelworks, but gave no further details.
A top official with the Azov Regiment, the Ukrainian unit defending the plant, said 20 civilians were evacuated during a cease-fire, though it was not clear if he was referring to the same group. There was no confirmation from the U.N.
"These are women and children," Sviatoslav Palamar said in a video posted on the regiment's Telegram channel. He also called for the evacuation of the wounded: "We don't know why they are not taken away and their evacuation to the territory controlled by Ukraine is not being discussed."
Video and images from inside the plant, shared with The Associated Press by two Ukrainian women who said their husbands are among the fighters refusing to surrender there, showed unidentified men with stained bandages; others had open wounds or amputated limbs.
A skeleton medical staff was treating at least 600 wounded people, said the women, who identified their husbands as members of the Azov Regiment of Ukraine's National Guard. Some of the wounds were rotting with gangrene, they said.
In the video the men said that they eat just once daily and share as little as 1.5 liters (50 ounces) of water a day among four people, and that supplies inside the besieged facility are depleted.
One shirtless man appeared to be in pain as he described his wounds: two broken ribs, a punctured lung and a dislocated arm that "was hanging on the flesh."
"I want to tell everyone who sees this: If you will not stop this here, in Ukraine, it will go further, to Europe," he said.
The AP could not independently verify the date and location of the video, which the women said was taken in the last week in the maze of corridors and bunkers beneath the plant.
The women urged that Ukrainian fighters also be evacuated alongside civilians, warning they could be tortured and executed if captured. "The lives of soldiers matter, too," Yuliia Fedusiuk told the AP in Rome.
In his nightly video address late Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy switched into Russian to urge Russian troops not to fight in Ukraine, saying even their generals expect that thousands more of them will die.
The president accused Moscow of recruiting new soldiers "with little motivation and little combat experience" so that units gutted early in the war can be thrown back into battle.
"Every Russian soldier can still save his own life," Zelenskyy said. "It's better for you to survive in Russia than to perish on our land."

Marcelo further enhanced his legendary status at Real Madrid on Saturday. After clinching the La Liga title against Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabeu, the club captain now boasts 24 trophies on his silverware list as the Brazilian is now the most decorated player in the club's history.
His staggering personal trophy cabinet contains four Champions League titles, four Club World Cups, three UEFA Super Cups, six League titles, two Copa del Rey trophies, and five Spanish Super Cups. Marcelo is in his sixteenth season at Real Madrid, making him the foreigner who has made the most appearances for the club. Since making his debut on January 7, 2007, against Deportivo, he has amassed 545 appearances and scored 38 goals for the Los Blancos.
Having claimed the 35th league title, the captain said, "It's the most incredible thing. We've won LaLiga as a result of the hard work of the whole team. We have to keep winning. This is the result of hard work, enjoyment, sacrifice... We've managed to win it by combining all the factors." "The best thing is to be able to celebrate with the fans after playing at home. It's the most incredible thing that a player can experience. It's a day to celebrate, even though we're aware that we've got an important game coming up, but it's okay to celebrate and remain focused and motivated for Wednesday," he added. (ANI)

Red Bull driver Sergio Perez believes that the team is set to ‘dominate’ throughout Formula 1’s new era, after a promising start to the 2022 campaign.
Despite being compromised by three mechanical failures in the opening four rounds of the season, Red Bull have shown strongly early pace and are one of only two teams capable of competing for race wins based on raw pace alongside Ferrari.
Under the stewardship of chief technical officer Adrian Newey, the Milton Keynes-based squad has produced a quick car for F1’s new generation of technical regulations, which has seen the series return to ground effect aerodynamic concepts for the first time since the 1980s.
With long-time rivals Mercedes toiling, Red Bull have managed to unlock enough speed to allow Max Verstappen to mount a defence of the world championship he won at the controversial Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December, though Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is the current leader in the drivers’ standings.
The team took a 1-2 finish at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola last weekend, with Verstappen winning ahead of Perez, and the Mexican believes the they are now set to ‘dominate’ F1 in the years to come.
‘We still have a lot of problems to solve, but the main thing is that we are competitive and Red Bull is set to dominate the next few years with these new regulations,’ Perez told Fox Sports Mexico.
‘We should be leading both the drivers’ and constructors’ titles . It has been a difficult start but the team has worked hard to be on par with Ferrari, we have cut several points from Ferrari.’
Perez was hired by Red Bull as a replacement for Thai-British driver Alexander Albon, who was dropped at the end of the 2020 campaign after being comprehensively outperformed by Verstappen. Though Perez could not match the Dutchman’s pace last season, he significantly assisted his championship victory, but is reluctant to be viewed as a second driver.
‘I could not be in F1 just to be there, knowing that I am the second driver,’ the 32-year-old explained. ‘It would be a lack of respect towards my career. I’m in F1 because I know I can win and be champion. I don’t want to [only] win races, my focus is to win the championship.’
Despite Verstappen’s status as the current world champion, Perez insists that the pair get along and will be allowed to race one another by the team.
‘There is a good atmosphere among the drivers. I want to beat Max and I want to be in front of him. He is unique and it is something that has happened in a good and natural way, we have the best team and this has helped us move forward.
‘If they asked me to let Max win a race when I could win the championship, we would have problems, but now I don’t see [that being] the case. The team has been open in telling us that they want both drivers up front, nothing would be better than fighting for the championship with Max, because that would mean that Red Bull is the powerhouse.’
The fifth round of the 2022 F1 season takes place in Florida, with the inaugural Miami Grand Prix set for the weekend of 6-8 May.

‘I can’t even imagine why I’m still alive’: Tekoa’s Susannah Scaroni looks to defend Bloomsday title less than a year after being hit by a car
UPDATED: Sat., April 30, 2022

The sun had barely crested the eastern Illinois horizon when Susannah Scaroni hit the road for an early morning training session ahead of last fall’s grueling marathon slate.
While pushing her racing wheelchair down a long straight near her home in Urbana on Sept. 16, the 30-year-old native of Tekoa, Washington, felt a sudden jolt as her chair rapidly sped up.
She had been hit from behind by a car going nearly 50 mph.
“The next thing I remembered was laying on the ground a few feet away from my racing chair and there was a car stopped with a man walking toward me, so I put two and two together,” Scaroni said. “I was just terrified.”
The result of the accident was a burst fracture of Scaroni’s T8 vertebrae, which kept her in a hospital bed for four days and then in a back brace for four more months.
What made the moment more difficult for Scaroni was remembering where she was just two weeks earlier.
Crossing the finish line as a gold medalist in the Tokyo Paralympic Games.
A golden experience
Competing in the Paralympics was nothing new to Scaroni, who had also represented the United States in London (2012) and Rio de Janeiro (2016). But the 2020 Tokyo games, which took place late last year due to the coronavirus, was a completely different experience.
“Not having spectators due to COVID is something I had kind of gotten used to, but it was really noticeable during the medal ceremonies and that was so different than other games,” Scaroni said. “And the biggest letdown was not being able to have my family there.
“What I felt was really different though was due to the pandemic we hadn’t really raced against other athletes from around the world for two years, which is highly unusual. When you get to the games, everyone goes into a different mindset, but you usually have a better idea where you stand against the rest of the field.”
Known as a stronger marathon racer, Scaroni had worked to improve her track-racing times ahead of Tokyo, which led to her earning spots in the 5,000-, 1,500- and 800-meter events alongside the marathon.
It didn’t take long for her to see the hard work pay off.
In her first event of the games, the 5,000, Scaroni took her turn at the front of the pack in the fifth lap of the 12½-lap race. After a strong pull lap, she slowed to let the next racer lead the pack, but to her shock the nearest competitor was about 100 meters back.
“The first three laps, I stayed in the pack so I could tell the pace, and then I noticed that Manuela Schar from Switzerland pulled really hard on her lead lap, so I thought it was my license to pull hard on my lap,” she said. “Then I moved into the second lane to let the next person take the pace and no one was there.
“Honestly, I had no idea there was no one there, so immediately I was embarrassed because it looked like I was trying to pull away. So I just decided I would go conservatively so I would have some gas in the tank when they eventually caught me, but then a few laps later I looked around and wondered where everyone was.”
Scaroni cruised to the gold – her first Paralympic medal, while nearly missing out on a world record with her time of 10 minutes, 52.57 seconds. Among the few spectators allowed in the stadium was ParaSport Spokane executive director and Scaroni’s childhood coach, Teresa Skinner.
“I don’t think I stopped screaming the entire race,” Skinner said. “Even though Susannah is very competitive, motivated and focused, I think sometimes she is also so gracious that she doesn’t always go for it because she has so much respect for her competitors.
“She loves the moment and experience of the races, so sometimes she doesn’t always take the lead both literally and figuratively. So to see that happen on the biggest stage was remarkable.”
Scaroni went on to add a bronze medal in the 800 and a sixth-place finish in the marathon. Upon returning home, Scaroni’s plan was to focus on completing an internship for her master’s program at the University of Illinois while mixing in some racing.
“I felt like I was the strongest racer in Tokyo, which never in a thousand years would I think would be me,” Scaroni said. “I was actually more motivated to keep racing after the games. I had personal records in all my events and to do that at this point in my career, I was so focused on racing and getting better.”
Those plans changed in the blink of an eye.

From fun to fire
Skinner estimates she’s coached more than 50 wheelchair track and field athletes between running ParaSport Spokane – founded in 2013 – and the adaptive sports program at St. Luke’s Rehabilitation Center before that. But even in that crowd of faces, her earliest memories of Scaroni still stand out.
“I will never forget the first time that she realized how fun competitiveness was,” Skinner said. “She was about 12 and before that it was all about having fun and playing games. But once she focused and pushed the chair the way it is supposed to be pushed, she realized she could beat someone – and did quite often.”
Scaroni, who lost the use of her legs at the age of 6 in a family automobile accident, credits Skinner with helping her develop as a racer and grow as a person.
“She is so tenacious, because she knows the impact that experience has on people. From a coaching standpoint, it was incredible because there is no saying no, no saying I can’t,” Scaroni said of Skinner last August. “It was always, ‘Let’s do it,’ and if it’s hard she wants you to learn why it is hard and how to fix it.”
Skinner said the impact of having an athlete like Scaroni be from the area and having had so much success on the biggest stages is invaluable for the next generation of Spokane ParaSport athletes.
“It’s so powerful because it is representation,” Skinner said. “It helps that all of our athletes recognize that not only does it take hard work to achieve something, but that it’s possible to reach those goals. She’s the perfect example of, ‘Oh, you have a disability that sucks,’ well, not really, because it doesn’t make a difference.”
‘Thankful to be alive’
In the days following the crash, Scaroni was unsure of what the future held for her in terms of racing.
“It definitely crossed my mind that my racing career was over,” she said. “It was also a humongous mixture of emotions as well because I still had people congratulating me on Tokyo and wanting to celebrate.
“But above all of that I was just thankful to be alive. I was hit at full force where the speed limit is 45, so I can’t even imagine why I’m still alive.”
That makes what has happened since even more impressive.
On April 18, just seven months after being thrown from her chair, Scaroni finished second in the elite women’s division at the Boston Marathon.
“Once the spine surgeon said that everything looked stable, getting back in the racing chair just seemed like a natural thing to do,” Scaroni said. “It only took about a month back in the chair for me to realize that it would be doable to be competitive again. My times were getting close to what they were before Tokyo, and that’s all it took for me to be back to being fully motived and fired up about racing.”
Now back into competitive shape and stamina, Scaroni has a full slate of races scheduled, along with defending her master’s thesis and trying to fit in a wedding after she became engaged in February.
But before she can do any of that, she has a Lilac Bloomsday title to defend on Sunday.
‘I had a Bloomsday shirt, too’
The 2019 edition of Bloomsday is still a bit of a blur to David Greig. Not only was it his first year in the role of competitive wheelchair athlete coordinator, but it was also the last race to take place in-person due to the pandemic.
“Just to see the athlete’s reactions to this course, it’s so unique and challenging, but very rewarding,” Greig said. “It’s great to be back on the streets and see the energy of Bloomsday back.”
One name he won’t soon forget though is Scaroni’s. Not only did she set a women’s wheelchair course record in 2019 with a blistering time of 29:58, but she notched her fourth victory in 14 tries.
Greig, who is also the head track and field coach for ParaSport Spokane, said it’s important for the event to have defending champions return to compete – especially when they are from the area and fresh off a gold-medal showing.
“It just shows the history we have in this community, and Bloomsday is a big part of that with it’s appreciation of the sport,” Greig said. “(Younger athletes) see what the potential is as an athlete and we are just glad we can provide that venue for them to see their heroes and role models.”
Sunday’s race will feature the largest women’s wheelchair field (eight) since 1998, which includes fellow U.S. Paralympian and Spokane native Hannah Dederick.
For Scaroni, it will be her first time back in Eastern Washington since that 2019 Bloomsday weekend, a return she expects to be filled with emotion.
“It’s been so long and I can’t even describe how excited I am to be back,” she said. “I’m probably going to cry a lot during the weekend.”
In a year of highs, Scaroni is determined to not let this time in her life be defined by a single low. She hopes a return to an event she has competed in most of her life adds another highlight to a year she will never forget.
“When I started wheelchair racing at the end of fourth grade, I already kind of felt on the same level as my peers through wheelchair basketball, but then Bloomsday took it to another level,” Scaroni said. “My classmates had Bloomsday shirts and now I had a Bloomsday shirt, too, so it was really rewarding for me at such a young age to realize that I was still on an equal playing field with my friends.”

NEW YORK (AP)Kyle Schwarber hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh inning Saturday night as the Philadelphia Phillies bounced back from being no-hit by beating the New York Mets 4-1.
Held hitless by five Mets pitchers in a 3-0 loss Friday night, the Phillies broke through when Nick Castellanos led off the second with a single.
”I felt like a weight was a little lifted when we got a hit,” Phillies manager Joe Girardi said with a grin. ”They have a very good pitching staff and you’ve got to grind out at-bats on them and take advantage when they make mistakes. And we were able to do so tonight.”
Mets starter Taijuan Walker and reliever Trevor May blanked the Phillies through six innings before J.T. Realmuto drew a one-out walk in the seventh from Adam Ottavino (1-1).
Schwarber, who entered Saturday hitting .164, followed by homering to right-center field for a 2-1 lead.
”You know where he’s going to end up at the end of the year,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said of Schwarber, who has hit at least 25 homers in every full season since 2017. ”He hasn’t been there yet. He hurt us tonight.”
Alec Bohm walked and scored when Odubel Herrera chased Ottavino with a two-out double.
Rhys Hoskins homered leading off the eighth.
”It was all positive, especially flipping the page from yesterday,” Schwarber said.
Six Phillies pitchers combined on a four-hitter.
New York City native James Norwood (1-0) struck out one in a perfect sixth to earn his first career win. Norwood, who made his major league debut in 2018, recorded the milestone victory just weeks after the death of his father, Mark.
”Surreal – it was amazing doing it back where I grew up, especially with everything that happened a month ago with my dad,” Norwood said. ”Just felt great to be able to do it in New York.”
The Mets put two on with two outs in the eighth against Jeurys Familia before Corey Knebel entered and walked pinch-hitter J.D. Davis. But Knebel got Brandon Nimmo to ground out on the next pitch, then worked around a Francisco Lindor single in the ninth to earn his fourth save.
Philadelphia starter Kyle Gibson made a throwing error in the fifth that set up an unearned run.
Gibson allowed two hits and walked five with three strikeouts over 4 1/3 innings.
Walker, who was activated from the injured list prior to the game after being sidelined since April 12 with right shoulder bursitis, allowed two hits and walked two with one strikeout over five innings.
”It was good to see him get back in the fight,” Showalter said of Walker, who hasn’t allowed a run in seven innings this year. ”It’s been tough on him being away. Hopefully he’s put himself in a position to contribute.”
A BUCK FOR SHOWALTER’S THOUGHTS
Mets manager Buck Showalter didn’t spend too much time reflecting on seeing a team of his pitch a no-hitter for just the second time – the first was by the New York Yankees’ Jim Abbott against Cleveland on Sept. 4, 1993.
”You don’t think about those things too much – I don’t know, are you supposed to have one every other year?” Showalter said. ”It’s rare and it was fun and I loved (how) the players and fans got a real kick out of it. I was kind of curious how they were going to react after. I thought they reacted perfectly.”
NO-NO CHANGING IT UP
Phillies manager Joe Girardi used the same lineup as he did in Friday’s no-hitter. It’s the first time this century that a team has started the exact same lineup the game after being no-hit.
”Same lineup? Yeah, they’re due,” Girardi said. ”That’s the bottom line.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Phillies: OF Mickey Moniak (broken right hand) has begun to swing and throw lightly. Moniak was hit in the hand by a pitch in an exhibition game April 7.
Mets: RHP Sean Reid-Foley (elbow) left in the middle of an at-bat against J.T. Realmuto in the eighth. Reid-Foley fired high on a 2-0 count and immediately motioned for a trainer. Showalter said Reid-Foley would undergo testing Sunday. . J.D. Davis (left ankle) appeared in a game for the first time since he was hit in the left ankle by a pitch from the St. Louis Cardinals’ Genesis Cabrera on Wednesday.
UP NEXT
Phillies: RHP Zach Eflin (1-1, 3.20 ERA) lasted six innings in beating the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday – his longest start since last July 8.
Mets: RHP Max Scherzer (3-0, 1.80 ERA) hasn’t lost in his last 23 starts, the longest streak since Walker Buehler went 23 straight starts without a loss for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 2019-2021. | https://www.mypanhandle.com/sports/schwarber-hr-as-phils-bounce-back-from-no-hitter-beat-mets/ | 2022-05-01T09:54:13Z | https://www.mypanhandle.com/sports/schwarber-hr-as-phils-bounce-back-from-no-hitter-beat-mets/ | false | 15 |

Premier League form table update ahead of Newcastle v Liverpool – Definitely worth a look
This (see below) is how the Premier League form table looks ahead of Newcastle United taking on Liverpool.
The two clubs meeting at St James Park at 12.30pm this Saturday afternoon (30 April 2022).
Eddie Howe looking to make it five wins in a row after the victories over Wolves, Leicester, Crystal Palace and Norwich. Whilst it would be seven victories in a row at St James Park if NUFC can win this one.
Here is the Premier League form table which covers the past six matches for all teams:
The last six results for Liverpool with very latest one listed first:
Liverpool 2 Everton 0
Liverpool 4 Man Utd 0
Man City 2 Liverpool 2
Liverpool 2 Watford 0
Arsenal 0 Liverpool 2
Brighton 0 Liverpool 2
Newcastle’s last six results also listed with the very latest result first:
Newcastle 1 Crystal Palace 0
Newcastle 2 Leicester 1
Newcastle 1 Wolves 0
Tottenham 5 Newcastle 1
Everton 1 Newcastle 0
This is how the Premier League table currently looks on the morning of 30 April 2022:
When analysing the info above, the Premier League form table makes for interesting reading.
Newcastle United now fifth in the form table with two defeats followed by four wins, twelve points out of a possible eighteen.
Meanwhile, Liverpool near faultless, five wins and that draw at Man City, meaning they top this Premier League form table with 16 points from the possible 18.
Leaving aside that draw against their title rivals, the other five most recent matches show Liverpool scoring 12 goals and not conceding a single one. Indeed, if you extend that by another couple of games, it is seven wins out of seven (if ignoring the Man City draw) and 19 goals scored with none conceded.
A tough task for Eddie Howe and his players clearly BUT not mission impossible.
Obviously Newcastle United will need to be at their best but only once since 19 December 2021 have NUFC conceded more than one goal. So if United can find at least one goal from somewhere, we could just maybe be in business. Again since 19 December 2021, only twice have Newcastle failed to score in a Premier League game and that was in those Chelsea and Everton matches in quick succession.
In 2022, Newcastle United have been one of the form teams, along with Liverpool and Man City, with only the scousers (38 points) picking up more points than NUFC (32 points) since the turn of the year.
With four wins in a row and only one goal conceded, six wins in a row at St James Park with only three goals conceded, Eddie Howe’s side will surely believe they could potentially pull off a surprise result.
Nobody pretends it will be easy but after replacing Steve Bruce, we have seen fitness, discipline, belief and focus flow into this Newcastle team.
If Newcastle United did win today, it would also mean they’d be automatically top of this six match Premier League form table after all the weekend PL games were completed, as NUFC would have five victories in their most recent six matches, whilst nobody else can have more than four.
Whatever happens today, Eddie and the boys have helped give Newcastle fans some pride back in their team and club. A win today would absolutely be the cherry on top of the icing.

Habitat for Humanity eyes more local projects with Cutchogue possibly up next
Southold Supervisor Scott Russell plans to reach out to Suffolk County to request the transfer of a Cutchogue property for a donation to Habitat for Humanity, as per a resolution approved by the Town Board on Tuesday.
According to town records, the property along County Route 48 was taken by Suffolk County after the previous owner failed to pay taxes. The town request will be made under the 72H program, which allows the county to transfer certain parcels to municipalities for transfer to affordable housing projects.
Habitat for Humanity is already working on a house in the Town of Southold, with plans to start building on a Greenport parcel in coming weeks and to present a family for board approval at the end of May. Lee Silberman, CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Long Island, said he met with the town Housing Advisory Commission last week about the property after initially reaching out to see if there are more opportunities to build in town. If the town is able to donate the parcel to Habitat for Humanity, it will be the nonprofit’s fifth build in Southold.
“The Town of Southold has a tremendous affordable housing issue,” Mr. Silberman said. “My understanding is that the county will view the request favorably when they receive the official request from the town, so of course there’s no guarantees, and then I’m hoping that in the future, Habitat can partner with the town to do other affordable housing developments within the town.”
He also offered to Southold Town, along with other towns in the Peconic Bay region, to help advocate for their plans under the recently passed Community Housing Fund, which — if approved via referendum — would add a .5% tax to real estate transfers in those towns to fund affordable housing solutions.
“The hope is that, with the passage of the new transfer tax, that more money would become available to the towns to acquire land, that they would then be able to donate to Habitat for Humanity of Long Island for us to build affordable homes,” he said.
Two Habitat for Humanity affiliates in Suffolk and Nassau counties recently merged to become Habitat for Humanity of Long Island, after receiving a $3.75 million grant from MacKenzie Scott, the former wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos who has vowed to donate most of her fortune.
“Our hope is that between the merger and this phenomenal gift that we should be able to increase our impact throughout Long Island,” Mr. Silberman said. | https://suffolktimes.timesreview.com/2022/05/habitat-for-humanity-eyes-more-local-projects-with-cutchogue-possibly-up-next/ | 2022-05-01T10:13:45Z | https://suffolktimes.timesreview.com/2022/05/habitat-for-humanity-eyes-more-local-projects-with-cutchogue-possibly-up-next/ | false | 1 |
They can only remarry if – Oyo Ifa priest
The death of the Alaafin of Oyo has caused a stir on social media as many have wondered what would become of his wives.
The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III’s transition, has been described as a significant loss to the entire Yoruba race. The monarch’s death has caused a big stir on social media, leaving many to wonder what would become of his beautiful wives.
Oloris’ fate
Ifayemi Elebuibon, an Ifa priest, in an interview with online medium, spoke about the position of the Yoruba tradition regarding the fate of the late monarch’s wives. Elebuibon, based in Oyo State, said the queens could either remarry after the late king’s burial rites or remain in the palace where the new king would inherit them as his wives.
He said: “At present, they will be mourning the departure of their husband. After the ceremonies of the right of passage, those who wished to stay back in the palace can stay, the new oba will come and take care of them, and those who wish to remarry can go and remarry.”
“The new monarch would inherit them as part of his inheritance to the throne,” he said. He explained that the wives of the Alaafin could only remarry after fulfilling traditional sacred rites of atonements and disassociating themselves from the palace. They are not allowed to marry any member of the royal family or ruling branch.
Alaafin’s first wife, Ayaba Abibat Nihinlola Adeyemi, married 65 years ago Ayaba Abibat Adeyemi is the late Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi’s first wife. Although it is an open secret that the late Alaafin had many wives, it is also a known fact that he loves them young and lightskinned. But not many knew his wife of over 60 years. Iya Adodo, as she is fondly called, has been described by many as a woman with a large heart and quality characteristics.
According to information, the monarch met and married Ayaba Abibat when she was in secondary school, at age of 17. Their meeting was said to be through his late younger sister, who was attending the same school with Ayaba sometimes in 1956.
That was before he ascended the throne of his forefathers in 1970. She later followed him to Lagos where he was working with an insurance company. Ayaba Abibat learned to sew, and became a trained tailor. They both lived in Lagos and had five children together — three girls and two boys. All of the children are grown and highly successful.
They are also blessed with many grandchildren. Ayaba Abibat, in her hay day, is said to be resourceful and fashionable, having studied and understood royalty. She knows what it means to be an Ayaba; not just to an ordinary Oba but a well respected king in Yorubaland.
Even up till now and despite her age, Ayaba Abibat Nihinlola still carries herself with so much respect and dignity befitting of her status. She is well loved and respected among other wives. She is a role model to many and a perfect example of what a virtuous woman should be. Iya Adodo is the mother of Alaafin’s first child (daughter) and the Aremo (first son).
The 18 wives of Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, the 45th Alaafin of Oyo, may now be available to suitors without undergoing cleansing rituals after the demise of the renowned monarch. Oba Adeyemi, 83, passed on late Friday after receiving treatments at the Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti and was buried the following day.
Although it is believed in the Yoruba tradition that the wives of the monarchs, either separated or still married are not at liberty to lay with other men until atonements have been made, palace sources said that the late Alaafin’s wives may now move on with their normal lives. | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/alaafins-wives-the-newest-brides-in-town/ | 2022-05-01T10:14:47Z | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/alaafins-wives-the-newest-brides-in-town/ | true | 1 |

Silly me.
Have you ever noticed how preoccupied we are with numbers? They often influence our thinking and our actions without us even realizing it.
Take a look at magazines on racks in book stores and markets. Most of them have headlines intended to draw our attention: “10 ways to become physically fit” or “Five sure-fire ways to lose weight” or “Eight tips for better gardening.” Selling the magazine is the goal but the numbers in the headlines are the fuel to get us going.
Merchandisers who sell their products for something under an even dollar -- $8.99 or $24.95 or $15.98 – know that consumers think of $24.95 as being a lot less than $25, for example.
The “My Pillow” guy is offering a deal to loyal customers in which they can purchase a pillow for $29.95 instead of the regular price of $69.95. I’m betting that at $29.95, he’s still making a profit. What do you think?
A friend points out that a recent poll shows that seven out of 10 Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction. Another poll could show that seven out of 10 Americans prefer a certain brand of tooth paste or breakfast cereal.
People are also reading…
Careful observers might ask: How many people were polled, what was the age group, how many men, bow many women, etc., etc. etc. to determine the validity of the poll. But it really doesn’t matter. The number seems to be the most important thing.
We all lie about numbers from time to time. What is the weight you list on your driver’s license compared to your real weight? (Incidentally, men, if you are ever asked to guess a woman’s age or weight, always guess low.)
If you wake up in the middle of the night for whatever reason, do you always check to see what time it is? Do you try to guess what time it is before you look? Clocks contain important numbers to us, day or night.
Popular children’s games at parties are ones in which the kids are asked to guess how many pennies are in the bottle or how many jelly beans are in the jar.
Numbers, numbers, numbers
Here’s a tough one for adults. What do you say when the doctor asks you how many cups of coffee do you drink a day? For most of us, it’s hard to tell because, for instance, you can give yourself several refills that aren’t a full cup but still add to your total consumed.
Last month, college basketball had its annual NCAA tournament – “March Madness” – that led to Kansas winning the national championship. But along the way, numbers added to the drama. Which teams would make it to the “Sweet 16” and then to the “Elite Eight” and the “Final Four?”
One more thing.
When someone tells us, “your number’s up,” that is not always a good sign. Yet, most of us “want to be in that number, when the saints go marching in.”
Silly me.

4 Part-Time Gigs That Are Great for Moms
by Maurie Backman | Published on May 1, 2022
It's worth looking at all of these options.
Key points
- Many moms could use extra cash.
- It's important to find a side gig that will work out schedule-wise.
- Substitute teaching and tutoring are just two options to look into.
As a full-time working mom, I'm fortunate to have a job that lets me set my own hours. To be clear, being self-employed has its challenges. My income can change from one week to the next, I don't get any paid time off, and I don't have access to workplace benefits, like a retirement plan an employer contributes to.
But getting to work while my kids are at school -- and being able to stop working once they're out of school -- makes my schedule manageable. And it saves me a lot of money on childcare.
I happen to have a number of friends, though, who are moms and want to go back to work now that their kids are school-aged, only they can't -- namely because the cost of before- and after-school care would wipe out much of their income, making it not worth it to have a job in the first place. If you're in the same boat but want to bring in some income, you may want to consider these four part-time gigs that could fit into your schedule somewhat easily.
1. Substitute teacher
Teachers call out of school for various reasons. But many districts are desperate for substitutes these days, so if you're looking for a side hustle, it pays to consider signing up as a substitute. While it won't be a steady gig, it could end up being convenient, since your hours might conceivably line up with when your kids are at school, thereby solving the childcare issue.
2. Tutor
As a mom, you may be skilled in the art of patience, and so you may be in a prime position to tutor children who need a hand academically. Granted, you'll have to do that tutoring outside of school hours. But if you do those tutoring sessions in your home, you won't have to worry about securing childcare.
3. Dog walker
Now that more people are returning to in-person work, there's likely to be an uptick in pet owners needing help with care during the day. If you're free during those hours, you could sign up to walk dogs in your neighborhood while your kids are at school.
4. Content writer or editor
The great thing about writing and editing content is that you don't need to do it from a specific location. All you really need is a laptop and internet access. If you sign up for a writing or editing gig, you may be able to do that work while your kids are at school, or later in the evening while they're asleep.
Being a parent means taking on a world of expenses. You may be eager to boost your household income by working on a part-time basis. It pays to see if any of these gigs are doable given your schedule. Not only might the extra money help, but if you're able to minimize the gap on your resume, that could come in handy should you decide to make a full-fledged return to the workforce in the future.
Top credit card wipes out interest into late 2023
If you have credit card debt, transferring it to this top balance transfer card secures you a 0% intro APR into late 2023! Plus, you’ll pay no annual fee. Those are just a few reasons why our experts rate this card as a top pick to help get control of your debt. Read The Ascent's full review for free and apply in just 2 minutes.

Generation la-Z? 1 in 3 young adults never clean up their dog’s poop!
BOCA RATON, Fla. ( StudyFinds.org ) – There are plenty of dirty jobs and somebody has to do them — just don’t expect Gen Z to be the ones doing it! A new survey looked at the dirtiest jobs Americans try to take care of themselves and found that younger adults would rather pay someone else and avoid the unpleasantness.
In a poll of more than 1,000 people, commissioned by Cinch Home Services , maintaining a septic tank ranks as the most disgusting job around the house that no one wants any part of! Shockingly, one in eight people (12.8%) claim they’ve done this chore themselves instead of calling a professional.
Other dirty deeds few people do themselves at home include sweeping the chimney (15%), cleaning out pest traps (31%), cleaning the gutters (34%), and getting rid of a dead animal they found (39%). Speaking of animals, just 51 percent of respondents scoop out their own cat’s litter box. Thank goodness for automated pet bathrooms these days!
Moreover, researchers found that younger Americans are the biggest offenders when it comes to not picking up after their pets. More than a third of Gen Z respondents admit they don’t pick up their dog’s poop . So, watch your step if you pass someone in their 20s walking their dog!
As for the dirty jobs most Americans take care of themselves, taking out the garbage (82.5%) and cleaning the toilet (81.6%) top the list. Yet again, however, one in four Gen Z respondents say they’ve never cleaned a toilet.
For comparison, nine in 10 baby boomers have cleaned a toilet in their lifetime. Meanwhile, nearly half of all Gen X respondents have removed a dead animal from their property, compared to just one in three millennials and one in five Gen Zers.
It costs how much? I’ll do it myself!
Apparently, money doesn’t solve everything as Americans in the poll generally underestimate what the pros charge to take care of these dirty problems. While Americans are willing to pay up to $180 to have someone maintain their septic tank, the actual average cost for this service is $375! That may be why nearly 13 percent of the survey have held their nose and tried to do it themselves.
Interestingly, the only job respondents didn’t undervalue was scooping up dog poop. Americans were willing to pay $21 for someone else to clean up after their pup, compared to the $20 that service usually costs. Overall, 78 percent of Americans say they’ve done a dirty chore themselves in order to save money.
I don’t know how, and I don’t want to learn!
Although nine in 10 people say they’d do gross chores themselves if they knew how to, over 46 percent say the biggest reason they avoid these tasks is lack of experience. Another 34 percent let a family member or partner do it for them and 32 percent simply refuse because “it’s too disgusting.”
When it comes to household chores, it’s the women who are more likely to get their hands dirty . Half of women say they do gross chores weekly, compared to just 40 percent of men. People who own their own home are also more likely to get knee-deep in filth (47%) than renters (40%).
As for the little tips that ease the burden of doing chores , two in three respondents recommend cleaning as you go, so there’s less of a mess to take care of each time. Half the poll also plan ahead or break the work up into chunks.
Nearly three in 10 Americans make sure to reward themselves after a job well done — including half of Gen Z respondents.

Folklorist Alan Lomax died Friday, July 19 at the age of 87. He spent more than a half century recording the folk music and customs of the world. His efforts spurred folk revivals in the United States and across Europe. In the United States, he was responsible for priceless recordings of Leadbelly (who Lomax first recorded in prison), Woody Guthrie, Jelly Roll Morton and many others. A 1959 recording he made of Mississippi prisoner James Carter singing the work song "Po'Lazarus" was the opening song for the soundtrack of the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? Many of Lomax's recordings have been reissued on Rounder Records' 100-CD series, the Lomax Collection. This interview first aired July 9, 1990.

Ministers are under increasing pressure to help free a retired British geologist at risk of facing the death penalty in Iraq over smuggling allegations.
A petition urging the release of father-of-two Jim Fitton, 66, has received more than 92,000 signatures in the three days since it was launched.
His daughter Leila and her husband Sam Tasker, from Bath, in Somerset, have also disclosed the sentencing this month is expected to coincide with a long-planned celebration of their wedding.
They said: “There is never a good time for something like this to happen but we are one week away from what should be the happiest day of our lives, and the culmination of more than two years of planning, and it’s been turned into an absolute living nightmare.
“We have accepted the fact that, without timely intervention from the FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office), Jim will be unable to attend this ceremony too.”
Mr Fitton has been detained in Iraq for five weeks after being accused of attempting to smuggle historic artefacts out of the country.
His family said Mr Fitton collected stones and shards of broken pottery as souvenirs while visiting a site in Eridu, in the country’s south-east, as part of an organised geology and archaeology tour.
But they added the items were judged to be artefacts under Iraqi law and the charge levelled at Mr Fitton states “whoever exported or intended to export, deliberately, an antiquity, from Iraq, shall be punishable with execution”.
His case in connection with the March incident is expected to go for sentencing in the week beginning May 8.
Mr Fitton’s family described the response to the petition as “unbelievable”, adding in a statement: “Jim really appreciates the support from old colleagues, good friends, kindred spirits, and complete strangers who have not allowed this to go unnoticed.
“We will continue to fight while we continue to have you at our backs.”
Mr Fitton worked as a geologist for oil and gas companies during his career and lives in his adopted home of Malaysia with his wife, Sarijah.
Wera Hobhouse, Liberal Democrat MP for Bath, has raised his case with ministers in the House of Commons.
The family said their lawyer has drafted a proposal under Iraqi law to have the case closed before trial but they need the Foreign Office to “put their weight behind the plan and endorse it” so they can secure a high-level meeting with judicial officials in the country.
The proposal cites the “clear lack of criminality, that Jim is a victim of poor guidance and circumstance, and also cites the huge investment that the UK has made in the Iraqi governmental and judicial framework through FCDO funding in the past few years”.
The family statement, via an update on the petition website, also explained: “Leila has not seen Jim for more than two years due to Covid travel restrictions.
“We held a small Covid wedding ceremony in Bath in August of last year for close friends and our British family members, mostly on my side.
“We have, since then, been planning a larger celebration in Malaysia with all of Leila’s extended family.
“This is scheduled on May 8. Obviously there is never a good time for something like this to happen but we are one week away from what should be the happiest day of our lives, and the culmination of more than two years of planning, and it’s been turned into an absolute living nightmare.”
The Foreign Office has said it is providing consular support and is in contact with the local authorities.
Foreign Office minister Amanda Milling, in a letter to Ms Hobhouse, said last week: “We understand the urgency of the case, and have already raised our concerns with the Iraqi authorities regarding the possible imposition of the death penalty in Mr Fitton’s case and the UK’s opposition to the death penalty in all circumstances as a matter of principle.” | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/05/01/thousands-support-efforts-to-free-british-geologist-amid-death-penalty-fears/ | 2022-05-01T10:54:29Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/05/01/thousands-support-efforts-to-free-british-geologist-amid-death-penalty-fears/ | true | 10 |

HDFC increases interest rates by 5 basis points
HDFC consumers will pay a higher interest rate on loans as HDFC increased its Retail Prime Lending Rate (RPLR) on housing loans on which its Adjustable Rate Home Loans (ARHL) are benchmarked by 5 basis points with effect from today.

HDFC consumers will pay a higher interest rate on loans as HDFC increased its Retail Prime Lending Rate (RPLR) on housing loans on which its Adjustable Rate Home Loans (ARHL) are benchmarked by 5 basis points with effect from today. The interest rate change will be effective only for existing customers. There will be no change in the interest rate for new customers, said HDFC in a release.
Earlier in the last month, the State Bank of India (SBI) raised the marginal cost of funds based lending rates (MCLR) by 10 basis points (bps) across tenures. This was the first instance of a lending rate hike by SBI in more than three years. The interest rate cycle seems to have turned with other large lenders, including Bank of Baroda and Axis Bank, also hiking MCLR by 5 bps each across tenures.
Moreover, the RBI's hardening stance on inflation is giving lenders the confidence to raise loan rates in anticipation of repo rate hikes. (ANI)

Dame Edna Everage is a character like no other — an Australian housewife who grew into a phenomenon, a self-described "megastar and adviser to royalty," an icon in sequins under a wave of lilac hair and those trademark glittering glasses.
Making her way across North America on tour, Dame Edna stopped to talk with NPR's Scott Simon in Washington.
The diva held forth on everything from her appreciation for the United States ("the best kept secret on the planet") to her friendship with Britain's Queen Elizabeth II ("She is too dependent on me!"), with brief forays into prostate health, gynecology, and the media's speculation that she and her manager, noted Australian comedian Barry Humphries, might just be one in the same.

ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)
Destiny is opening a door to your financial life, Aries. A new path may open in regards to your income, assets or investments. A raise, new job or lucrative client may appear as if out of thin air! While you may have one source of income shift or end at this time, it’s actually pushing you to uncover new ways of monetization. Know your worth and fight for it—wealth could soon be yours.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)
A whole new chapter of your life is set to begin, Taurus. Soon you will watch the old you and the previous versions of your life fade into a memory as you embrace new horizons and soar in new directions! Now is a time to focus on what makes you happiest and set forth to assert yourself. Step into your power and know that you have the ability to turn all of your dreams and hopes into a reality. Set forth on this new adventure and don’t settle for anything that makes you feel unhappy.
GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20)
The universe is calling, Gemini, and it’s telling you that it’s time to rest and recharge your batteries. The solar eclipse may give you the chance to check-in with a therapist, counselor or specialty doctor about ways to improve your overall health. If you’ve been dealing with chronic fatigue or stress, you may now find a way to put that in your past. Reflect on where you’ve been and brainstorm ways you’d like to release baggage, anxiety or anything that is just weighing you down.
CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22)
As the solar eclipse dances in the sky, you are set to see some of your most heartfelt hopes, dreams and ambitions come true, Cancer! On one hand, this could be all about reaching a whole new level of joy and fulfillment. However, this same lunation will energize your social circle and you may now cross paths with a platonic soulmate—someone who enters your life and changes it forever. Don’t be afraid to network, socialize and share your spirit with those who value you.
LEO (JULY 23 – AUGUST 22)
Prepare for new horizons in your professional life, Leo. The solar eclipse will blast open a doorway in regards to achievement, public recognition and success! An award, promotion or favorable press may suddenly grant you greater heights and glory. However, this could also awaken you to the fact that your current professional lane isn’t quite fulfilling you as it once did and you may now wish to embark on a new path. Start to move in that newfound direction.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22)
A whole new adventure is calling your name, Virgo. As the solar eclipse energizes your sector of expansion, you may feel the sudden urge to leave your comfort zone and soar toward new horizons! Some Virgos may have the chance to physically travel or may even embark on a new journey to explore new cultures or spiritualities. Relocation and immigration are also possible for some Virgos near this time. Others may instead realize it’s time to head back to school and further their education. Last, if involved in the media or you wish to, a breakthrough around television, publishing or publicity could present itself!
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22)
It’s time to get a little bit closer, Libra! With the solar eclipse highlighting your sector of intimacy, sharing and assets, you’ll be focused on where you stand with a significant other party. If you’ve been in need of voicing your desires to your partner, now is a good moment to do so. However, this lunation may instead focus you intensely on financial matters, especially in regards to a payout, settlement or investment that is finally ready to arrive.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21)
A whole new journey lies ahead of you in regards to partnership, Scorpio. As the solar eclipse represents a destined new beginning, you could be making a long-term commitment personally or professionally. Finding balance in your relationships could soon be here and some Scorpios may realize it’s time to move in, get engaged or be wed. Singles can enjoy this vibe, too, by putting themselves out there to find someone with LTR-potential. If you suddenly break apart, it’s just because you’re destined for someone even better.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21)
The big breakthrough you’ve been awaiting in your work-life balance may now be here, Sagittarius. This solar eclipse could bring you a leg up in your job, attract a new employer to your doorstep or cause you to work on a milestone new professional project. However, this same energy could turn your attention to your health, fitness and diet, too, so if you’d like to make a change, the stars are on your side. Make yourself a productivity machine!
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19)
Destiny is calling to you, Capricorn, and it is bringing golden showers of romance, creativity, passion and fertility into your life. The solar eclipse should help you to feel quite euphoric as you begin a new journey around matters of the heart. Single Capricorns could meet a soulmate, while those casually dating may suddenly realize they’ve fallen madly in love! Committed couples can enjoy this joyous vibe, too, as you are able to spend more time with your partner or children. If you’ve been trying for a pregnancy, you may also hear news now. Last, if you’re an artist, prepare to embrace the magical inspiration of the muse.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18)
A major new beginning is set before you around family, home or domestic situations, Aquarius—and it could be the push in the direction you’ve long prayed for! Some Aquarians will attend a lovely family event where they are able to reconnect and grow closer with their kindred. However, this could also bring you a breakthrough around relocation, renovation or real estate, so if you’re ready, keep your eyes on the prize.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20)
Prepare for a surge of momentum in your daily life, Pisces! As the solar eclipse brings a breath of fresh air for you, exciting nearby destinations may call out for you to visit. This will give you a chance to shake things up and even be a tourist in your own city! However, this lunation may stimulate your senses in yet another way: around exhilarating new communication-related projects. Some Pisceans may begin work on a milestone writing, speaking, advertising or marketing endeavor that helps them speak their truth.
What else should I know about the partial solar eclipse in Taurus?
Solar eclipses are intense—which is why we often pay more attention to them both astronomically and astrologically. These celestial events always take place on a new moon and are somewhat like a new moon on steroids—bringing powerful new opportunities, journeys and experiences into our lives. While most people will hear the news of the solar eclipse on the day of the cosmic event, others may instead notice the shift in the weeks that surround it. No matter what: pay attention to your intuition and the synchronicities that pop up!
This partial solar eclipse falls in Taurus (10 degrees) and is the second of four eclipses in this zodiac sign to take place between 2021 and 2023. Eclipses in Taurus highlight the global stock markets, economies and real estate markets. Wealth, prosperity and assets will be important within our lives now—so expect shifts, changes, and ups and downs. Big wins could be made if planning ahead! How we approach ownership, possessions, stability and security could also be present themes to watch for.
When it comes to astrological aspects, this lunation will link beautifully with Mars, the planet of strength and energy, bringing passion and excitement to our lives. Uranus, the planet of surprise, will also stand closely to it, as well, stimulating a whirlwind of events that seem to manifest out of thin air. Venus, the planetary ruler of this eclipse, will be in an especially sweet mood as she unites with Jupiter, bringing euphoric and expansive blessings, and Neptune, attracting immense beauty, romance and creativity into our lives. She also dances with Mercury and Pluto, bringing progress and power to our goals. To say that this solar eclipse could open doors to one’s greatest hopes and dreams is true, so consider ways to create your reality.
When and where can I see the partial solar eclipse?
It is never safe to view a solar eclipse without protective eyewear—so make sure that if you are planning to view it, do so carefully, as the corona of the eclipse can blind you. The April 30, 2022 will be visible in South/West South America, the Pacific, the Atlantic, and Antarctica. The reason it is a partial solar eclipse is because the moon will only somewhat obscure the sun’s light. It will take place at 4:28 P.M. (Eastern).

Temperatures are also expected to drop
Weather1 week ago
UAE residents can expect a moderate to hot and dusty weather during the long Eid Al Fitr holiday, which begins on May 2, the National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has predicted.
According to the NCM weather report issued on Sunday, from May 1 to May 6, the weather is expected to be moderate to hot and dusty at times during the day and fair by night. Temperature will be fair over the eastern mountain areas in general, and humid over the coasts during night with a probability of mist formation by Monday and Friday mornings. Some clouds will appear eastward by Friday afternoon.
“The winds will be Northwesterly in general, becoming Southwesterly at times by night, moderate winds in general, and fresh at times over some areas during daytime, causing blowing dust and sand over the exposed areas, which may lead to a decrease in the horizontal visibility, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday,”’ said the NCM report.
“The sea will be moderate to rough at times in the Arabian Gulf, and in Oman Sea, becoming slight to moderate by Thursday and Friday.”
The expected maximum temperatures during the Eid holiday will be 31–38°C at the coasts and in Islands, 37-43°C in the interior or mainland and 22-31°C in the mountain regions, according to forecasters.
The minimum temperatures during this period will be 23-27°C at the coasts and in Islands, 19-25°C in the mainland and 16-24°C in the mountainous areas.
Climate in May
In their latest monthly climate report, the NCM said May is considered as one of the months of the first transition period (spring) between winter and summer. During this month, the apparent movement of sun continue to move north of the equator where daytime gradually increases in the northern hemisphere which lead to a gradual increase of air temperature over most parts of the country during this month.
“During this month, the effect of Siberian high pressure weakens while depressions affect the area from east and West and when it is associated by extension of westerly upper air troughs the amount of clouds increase with chances of rain,” said the NCM report.
“Humidity decreases slightly during this month compared to April especially during second half of the month, with chances of fog/mist formation particularly during first half of the month over scattered areas of the country while the frequency of occurrences of fog/nist decrease during second half of May.”

For a decade, the number of babies born with syphilis in the United States has surged, undeterred. Data released this month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows just how dire the outbreak has become.
About 7 percent of babies diagnosed with syphilis in recent years have died; thousands of others born with the disease have faced problems that include brain and bone malformations, blindness and organ damage.
For public health officials, the situation is all the more heartbreaking, considering that congenital syphilis rates reached near-historic modern lows from 2000 to 2012 amid ambitious prevention and education efforts. By 2020, following a sharp erosion in funding and attention, the nationwide case rate was more than seven times that of 2012.
“The really depressing thing about it is we had this thing virtually eradicated back in the year 2000,” said William Andrews, a public information officer for Oklahoma’s sexual health and harm reduction service. “Now it’s back with a vengeance. We are really trying to get the message out that sexual health is health. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
Funding remains stagnant
Even as caseloads soar, the CDC budget for sexually transmitted disease prevention — the primary funding source for most public health departments — has been largely stagnant for two decades, its purchasing power dragged even lower by inflation.
A recent CDC report on STD trends provides official data on congenital syphilis cases for 2020, as well as preliminary case counts for 2021 that are expected to increase. CDC data shows that congenital syphilis rates in 2020 continued to climb in already overwhelmed states such as Texas, California and Nevada and that the disease is present in almost every state in the nation. All but three states — Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont — reported congenital syphilis cases in 2020.
From 2011 through 2020, congenital syphilis resulted in 633 documented stillbirths and infant deaths, according to the new CDC data.
Preventing congenital syphilis — the term used when syphilis is transferred to a fetus in utero — is from a medical standpoint exceedingly simple: If a pregnant person is diagnosed at least a month before giving birth, just a few shots of penicillin have a near-perfect cure rate for both the parent and baby. But funding cuts and competing priorities in the nation’s fragmented public health-care system have vastly narrowed access to such services.
The reasons pregnant people with syphilis go undiagnosed or untreated vary geographically, according to data collected by states and analyzed by the CDC.
Little to no prenatal care
In Western states, the largest share of cases involve patients who have received little to no prenatal care and aren’t tested for syphilis until they give birth. Many have substance use disorders, primarily related to methamphetamines. “They’ve felt a lot of judgment and stigma by the medical community,” said Stephanie Pierce, a maternal fetal medicine specialist at the University of Oklahoma who runs a medical clinic for people with high-risk pregnancies.
In Southern states, a CDC study of 2018 data found that the largest share of congenital syphilis cases were among women who had been tested and diagnosed but hadn’t received treatment. That year, among Black moms who gave birth to a baby with syphilis, 37 percent had not been treated adequately even though they had received a timely diagnosis. Among White moms, that number was 24 percent. Long-standing racism in medical care, poverty, transportation issues, poorly funded public health departments and crowded clinics whose employees are too overworked to follow up with patients all contribute to the problem, according to infectious-disease experts.
Doctors are also noticing a growing number of women who are treated for syphilis but reinfected during pregnancy. Amid rising cases and stagnant resources, some states have focused disease investigations on pregnant individuals of childbearing age; they can no longer prioritize treating sexual partners who are also infected.
Eric McGrath, a pediatric infectious-disease doctor at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, said that he had seen several newborns in recent years whose mothers had been treated for syphilis but then were re-exposed during pregnancy by partners who hadn’t been treated.
Treating a newborn baby for syphilis isn’t trivial. Penicillin carries little risk, but delivering it to a baby often involves a lumbar puncture and other painful procedures. And treatment typically means keeping the baby in the hospital for 10 days, interrupting an important time for family bonding.
Awful experience
McGrath has seen a couple of babies in his career who weren’t diagnosed or treated at birth and later came to him with full-blown syphilis complications, including full-body rashes and inflamed livers. It was an awful experience he doesn’t want to repeat. The preferred course, he said, is to spare the baby the ordeal and treat parents early in the pregnancy.
But in some places, providers aren’t routinely testing for syphilis. Although most states mandate testing at some point during pregnancy, as of last year just 14 required it for everyone in the third trimester. The CDC recommends third-trimester testing in areas with high rates of syphilis, a growing share of the United States.
After Arizona declared a statewide outbreak in 2018, state health officials wanted to know whether widespread testing in the third trimester could have prevented infections. Looking at 18 months of data, analysts found that nearly three-quarters of the more than 200 pregnant women diagnosed with syphilis in 2017 and the first-half of 2018 got treatment. That left 57 babies born with syphilis, nine of whom died. The analysts estimated that a third of the infections could have been prevented with testing in the third trimester.
Based on the numbers they saw in those 18 months, officials estimated that screening all women on Medicaid in the third trimester would cost the state $113,300 annually, and that treating all cases of syphilis that screening would catch could be done for just $113. Factoring in the hospitalization costs for infected infants, the officials concluded the additional testing would save the state money.
And yet prevention money has been hard to come by. Taking inflation into account, CDC prevention funding for STDs has fallen 41 percent since 2003, according to an analysis by the National Coalition of STD Directors. That is even as cases have risen, leaving public health departments saddled with more work and far less money.
Struggling to keep up
Janine Waters, STD program manager for New Mexico, has watched the unraveling.
When Waters started her career more than 20 years ago, she and her colleagues followed up on every case of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis reported, not only making sure that people got treatment but also getting in touch with their sexual partners, with the aim of stopping the spread of infection. In a 2019 interview with Kaiser Health News, she said her team members were struggling to keep up with syphilis alone, even as they registered with dread congenital syphilis cases surging in neighboring Texas and Arizona.
By 2020, New Mexico had the highest rate of congenital syphilis in the country.
The pandemic drained the remaining resources. Half of health departments across the country discontinued STD fieldwork altogether, diverting their resources to covid-19. In California, which for years has struggled with high rates of congenital syphilis, three-quarters of local health departments dispatched more than half of their STD staff members to work on covid.
As the pandemic ebbs — at least in the short term — many public health departments are turning their attention back to syphilis and other diseases. And they are doing it with reinforcements. Although the Biden administration’s proposed STD prevention budget for 2023 remains flat, the American Rescue Plan Act included $200 million to help health departments boost contact tracing and surveillance for covid-19 and other infectious diseases. Many departments are funneling that money toward STDs.
The money is an infusion that state health officials say will make a difference. But when taking inflation into account, it essentially brings STD prevention funding back to what it was in 2003, said Stephanie Arnold Pang of the National Coalition of STD Directors. And the American Rescue Plan money does not cover some aspects of STD prevention, including clinical services.
The coalition wants to revive dedicated STD clinics, where people can drop in for testing and treatment at little to no cost. Advocates say that would fill a void that has plagued treatment efforts since public clinics closed en masse in the wake of the 2008 recession.
Texas, battling its own pervasive outbreak, will use its share of American Rescue Plan money to fill 94 new positions focused on various aspects of STD prevention. Those hires will bolster a range of measures the state put in place before the pandemic, including an updated data system to track infections, review boards in major cities that examine what went wrong for every case of congenital syphilis, and a requirement that providers test for syphilis during the third trimester of pregnancy. The suite of interventions seems to be working, but it could take some time before cases go down, said Amy Carter, the state’s congenital syphilis coordinator.
“The growth didn’t happen overnight,” Carter said. “So our prevention efforts aren’t going to have a direct impact overnight either.”

On August 30, 2021, three Starbucks stores in and around Buffalo, New York, filed union election petitions with the National Labor Relations Board.
In the eight months since, close to 250 other Starbucks stores have followed, driving a surge in union election petitions not seen since 2015. The NLRB reported that union election petitions were up 57% in the first half of the 2022 fiscal year, compared with the year before. Starbucks petitions account for nearly a quarter of all petitions filed since January.
The Starbucks unionizing effort is remarkable, not only because of the stunning speed at which it has spread — more than 40 Starbucks stores have voted to unionize — but also because food and drink establishments have traditionally been among the least unionized workplaces in the U.S. Only 1.2% of all workers in the sector were unionized in 2021, according to the Labor Department.

An NPR analysis of union election petitions filed with the NLRB found that a decade ago, fewer than 4% of union election petitions came from the accommodations and food services industry — mostly hotel and cafeteria workers seeking representation. One notable exception was a Panera Bread shop in Michigan.
So far in 2022, the accommodations and food services industry makes up 27.5% of all union election petitions, with a small number of independently-owned coffeehouses in cities such as Minneapolis, Philadelphia and Nashville joining hundreds of Starbucks locations all around the country in seeking union representation.
"Organizing is contagious," says Kate Bronfenbrenner, director of labor education research at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations, noting the ease at which workers can now connect with each other over cell phones and social media platforms.
Other factors contributing to the recent wave of organizing: a labor-friendly administration in the White House, a Democratic majority on the NLRB, and a strong labor market. Job openings remain at record highs, leading some workers to cast aside fears over speaking out and demanding more from their employers.
NLRB elections are just one path to unionizing
Not all workers seeking to organize do so through the union election process. Under the National Labor Relations Act, private-sector workers may persuade an employer to voluntarily recognize a union after demonstrating that a majority of workers support unionizing. Bronfenbrenner has found that a far greater share of private-sector organizing, including among hotel staff and janitorial workers, happens outside union elections.
Also, the number of union election petitions filed is not indicative of how many workers overall are seeking representation. A Starbucks petition may seek a union election for 25 workers at a single store, whereas an Amazon petition may seek an election for thousands of workers at a single warehouse.
Still, an examination of who is filing election petitions with the NLRB reveals important shifts that are happening in worker organizing, even as union membership in the U.S. remains low, with just over 6% of private-sector workers unionized. (The National Labor Relations Act does not cover public-sector workers, about a third of whom are unionized. Their rights to organize vary widely from state to state.)
Organizing has moved away from manufacturing toward other industries
The number of union election petitions filed between January and April of this year is only slightly more than the number filed in the same period in 2012.
But since 2012, the share of petitions coming from manufacturing companies has fallen by about half, according to NPR's analysis. Bronfenbrenner says the drop has come as employers have moved or threatened to move jobs elsewhere to get away from unions.
"There's a 75% chance when you go to organize in manufacturing, that the employer will threaten to shift production out of the country," says Bronfenbrenner. So the manufacturing unions have shifted to other industries, including non-profits and health care, where it's easier to organize, she says.

So far in 2022, there have been a sizable number of election petitions from industries where unions already have a foothold: security, waste management, transportation and health care.
But there are also groups of workers seeking union representation in 2022 that are nowhere to be seen in the 2012 data: Amazon warehouse workers, college students working as residential advisors, "budtenders" at more than a dozen cannabis shops.
"This has been evolving over time," says Bronfenbrenner. "The workforce is changing, and naturally, who's a union worker is changing."
The pandemic and other factors have spurred younger people to unionize
In 2021, according to the Labor Department, union membership was highest among middle-aged workers (ages 45 to 54) and lowest among younger workers (ages 16 to 24). But that could be changing, as unionizing successes at Starbucks and Amazon have garnered national attention.
The organizing at Starbucks stores has involved many baristas in their 20s. Chris Smalls, the president of the Amazon Labor Union and a former warehouse supervisor, is in his early 30s. At both companies, workers have cited the pandemic as a major impetus for organizing, saying their companies did not do enough to protect them from the risks of COVID or reward them for carrying on with the work that has made their companies highly profitable over the past two years.
As they seek to organize, the workers are finding a lot of support — from the White House, from their peers, and from the public. A Gallup survey from last summer found that 68% of Americans approve of labor unions, a number not seen since 1965.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s Suez Canal said Sunday its monthly revenues hit an all-time record, raking in $629 million in April.
The unprecedented income came as the Suez Canal in March increased transit fees for ships passing through the waterway.
Adm. Ossama Rabei, head of the Suez Canal Authority, said in a statement that 1,929 vessels sailed through the Suez Canal last month, compared to 1,814 in April 2021.
He said the revenues rose by 13.9% compared to April last year when the crucial waterway received $553.6 million.
About 10% of global trade, including 7% of the world’s oil, flows through the Suez Canal, which connects the Mediterranean and Red seas.
The canal, which first opened in 1869, is a major source of foreign currency to Egypt.
The annual revenues of the canal reached $6.3 billion in 2021, the highest in its history. The Canal said 20,649 vessels passed through the waterway last year, a 10% increase compared to 18,830 vessels in 2020.
The shipping industry is still under pressure from the coronavirus pandemic and Russia’s war on Ukraine has already added to global economic concerns. | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Suez-Canal-chief-says-April-revenues-hit-all-time-17139762.php | 2022-05-01T11:44:43Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Suez-Canal-chief-says-April-revenues-hit-all-time-17139762.php | false | 12 |
A look at what’s happening around the majors today:
___
THE MAX
Mets ace Max Scherzer starts at night against Bryce Harper and the Phillies at Citi Field.
Scherzer is 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in four starts during his first year in New York. The three-time Cy Young Award winner has struck out 33 in 25 innings while allowing just 11 hits.
Scherzer hasn’t lost in his last 23 starts, the longest streak since Walker Buehler went 23 straight starts without a loss for the Dodgers from 2019-2021.
Zach Eflin (1-1, 3.20 ERA) pitches for Philadelphia.
STREAKING
Luis Severino (2-0, 3.32 ERA) starts for the Yankees as they try for their ninth straight win, taking on the Royals in Kansas City. … Sandy Alcantara (2-1, 1.78) pitches for the Marlins as they go for their eighth win in a row, hosting the Mariners. Logan Gilbert (3-0, 0.40) starts for Seattle.
ROCKY START
Colorado lefty Kyle Freeland tries again for his first win since signing a $64.5 million, five-year contract last month.
The 28-year-old Denver native is 0-3 with a 6.16 ERA in four starts for the Rockies this season.
He’s set to pitch against the Reds at Coors Field.
AILING RAYS
A COVID-19 outbreak hit the Tampa Bay staff this weekend during its series against Minnesota at Tropicana Field, keeping pitching coach Kyle Snyder, field coordinator Paul Hoover, bench coach Matt Quatraro and bullpen coach Stan Boroski away from the team until further notice. None of them will be on the plane Sunday night when the Rays fly to Oakland for the start of a nine-game road trip.
“When something like this snowballs like it did today. . . . I mean, we’ve been dealing, dealing, dealing trying to contain it, and then the last day or two it’s hit us pretty hard,” manager Kevin Cash said.
CRUISIN’ CARDS
The St. Louis Cardinals lead the majors with 22 stolen bases in 23 attempts.
The lone blemish came when slugger Albert Pujols tried to swipe third at Milwaukee on April 14 and was caught by Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff.
Harrison Bader tops the NL with six steals after a swipe against Arizona on Saturday. He had a total of nine steals in 2021.

MIAMI (AP) — The best that Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers could offer Saturday about Joel Embiid’s possible availability for the Eastern Conference semifinal series against Miami was a two-word answer.
“There’s hope,” Rivers said.
For now, Philadelphia will cling to that.
The 76ers and Heat both hit the practice floor Saturday to begin the process of adjusting for a playoff series that won’t have Embiid at the start — at minimum. Embiid, the NBA’s scoring champion and an MVP finalist this season, has a right orbital fracture and a mild concussion, injuries that were suffered Thursday in a first-round series-clincher at Toronto and were announced Friday night.
Game 1 is Monday in Miami. And the 76ers will be without their center who averaged 30 points per game this season.
“I don’t know how you make up for it, but you figure out how to,” Rivers said. “Yeah, I mean, it’s just a tough injury. The good news, I guess, is he’s had it before. The bad news is there’s just no timeline for when he’s coming back.”
The Heat went from 4.5-point favorites in Game 1 to 8.5-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, after the 76ers announced Embiid’s latest injuries. But there were no outward signs of celebration in Miami on Saturday because of Embiid’s absence.
Quite the contrary, actually.
“I feel bad for my guy,” said Miami’s Jimmy Butler, who played with Embiid in Philadelphia. “Obviously, one of my former teammates. Arguably, the MVP of this league. And I think I speak for everybody that’s a part of this team — we want Jo to play. We want to go up against them at full strength and prove that we can hang with anybody and we can beat anybody. It’s a mishap. I hope he recovers well, and gets back very, very soon.”
Losing Embiid would be difficult enough for the 76ers under any circumstances. The fact that it happened with a 29-point lead and 3:58 left in a game that had essentially been decided only makes it worse.
Rivers bristled at criticism of why he had Embiid in the game at that point. Philadelphia’s lead was never smaller than 18 in the fourth quarter on Thursday, was still 25 with 5 minutes to play and had reached 29 on back-to-back baskets by Tobias Harris and Embiid.
Rivers said the Raptors still had their starters in, and that he was about to call time to sub out his starters when the lead reached 29. He also said that in one-sided closeout games, that would be about the time where benches get cleared.
“Not upset that he was in,” Rivers said. “You can make that a big deal if you want. Just go and look at every team, and every game, and their guys were in until about the 4:00, 3:00 mark.”
Embiid went through a similar issue — orbital fracture and concussion — in 2018 and missed 10 games, plus needed surgery because of the fracture. The 76ers have not mentioned surgery as a possibility this time around, which would seem to raise the possibility that Embiid could be back quicker than he was four years ago.
The concussion would be the first hurdle to clear, and it’s anyone’s guess when Embiid would escape those protocols anyway. If Embiid does play in this series, it would seem likely that he’d have to don a protective mask — something he did four years ago and didn’t exactly enjoy.
“Obviously, tough news to take,” Harris said. “As a group, we want him to get healthy and better. And whenever that is, we’ll be ready.”
Embiid led the 76ers with averages of 30.6 points, 11.7 rebounds and assists and 1.5 blocks per game during the regular season. And even though he’s bothered by a right thumb ligament injury that will require offseason surgery, he also averaged 26.2 points and 11.3 rebounds in the six games against the Raptors.
He’s one of three finalists for MVP, along with Denver’s Nikola Jokic and Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“I think it’ll change all of our roles, honestly,” said 76ers center DeAndre Jordan, who now seems likely to have a bigger role in the Miami series. “You can’t replace the MVP. He’s averaging 30 and whatever for the season, and he’s extremely dominant, has been during these playoffs in the first round. So it’s going to be hard to replace that. But I think that we’ll just have to pick it up by committee and everybody will be ready to go.”

Now that Genesis has played what the group said were its final shows during March in London, Steve Hackett has the field to himself for the moment.
Hackett, 72, was the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group’s lead guitarist from 1971-77, recording on seven studio albums. He began his solo career while part of the group, with 1975’s “Voyage of the Acolyte,” and has since released 26 albums, including last year’s “Surrender of Silence.”
This year Hackett and his band are paying tribute to Genesis’ 1977 live set “Seconds Out,” performing it in its entirety along with a selection of the guitarist’s solo material. Unlike his former band, he’s fully active and happy to carry the torch while also creating more new material…
* Though Hackett had “a very productive time” during the pandemic, finishing his autobiography and releasing a new album, he was happy to get back on the road last fall to begin playing concerts again. “It was great,” he says by Zoom from England. “There was no reserve from the crowds, ’cause they’d been kept inside for a long time. I think in the main audiences have kind of changed their perception of what you thought was an everyday event, you can go see a gig anywhere, and suddenly when that’s taken away it makes a difference and it makes you hungry for it. We don’t want any more interruptions. It’s such a crazy time in the world’s history right now — war, plague famine, what have you — so we appreciate the importance of music in general to re-energize people and to heal and all the rest.”
* The “Seconds Out” album was recorded during Genesis tours in 1975 and primarily 1977, and Hackett feels it’s a definitive representation of the band and its catalog at that period of time. “A lot of these songs have a long history and were road-tested by the time we recorded (‘Seconds Out’). So they’d been favorites, like ‘Supper’s Ready’ and ‘The Musical Box,’ ‘The Carpet Crawlers’ and tracks like that, ‘Squonk’ and many other things. Many of those are things that worked very well live, so it’s sort of a best of the best-of live. And doing it all again, I have to say, goes down very well with audiences. Of course it brings back lots of memories, but somehow the music is timeless, and I think it transcends the various (band lineups) that have been doing it all these years.”
* Hackett left Genesis as “Seconds Out” was being prepared for release, which he says was not due to musical differences but rather his bandmates’ attitude towards his ambitions for a parallel solo career. “I did not expect (‘Voyage of the Acolyte’) to take off, but it did take off like wildfire, and it created jealousies and suddenly I was given an ultimatum — either I did no more solo work and came to heel, in other words admit I was an employee of the firm, and I could walk. So I chose the latter thing. It’s the internal politics of every group, where unless you allow people the freedom to be able to work outside it’s gonna implode. We lost Peter Gabriel, then the band lost me. I think when there were three of them left and one of them turned around and said, ‘I’m gonna do a solo album,’ it wasn’t a problem. I think the next one was Mike (Rutherford), the very guy who criticized me for doing it in the first place.”
* Nevertheless, Hackett remains fond of Genesis and, now that the band has retired again, feels a responsibility to keep the music alive onstage with his own group. “At the end of the day it’s a great band. I don’t know what the future is for them, and I certainly wish them all well as I’m sure they do me. I’ll continue to play the music because I love it and so does the audience, and I’ve got a band that’s happy to do it. A lot of these guys I’m working with grew up listening to this stuff, so they already know it backwards and forwards.” Hackett says later this year he plans to play Genesis’ “Foxtrot” album in its entirety to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
* Hackett is also at work on his next solo album, although his focus now is on playing live. “I’ve got three or four things record for a new album, but the down side of doing so much touring means I can’t really get back in the studio for awhile now. We’re on a world tour…and occasionally we’ll be back in the U.K. when I’m not living out of a suitcase, so I hope to be able to get into the studio and record a few more things. I’m looking forward to it.”

Until about 70 years ago, musical instruments remained pretty much the same as they were for centuries. Then a new invention changed modern music and popular culture as well -- the electric guitar. For the continuing series Present at the Creation, NPR's Christopher Joyce traces the origins of an instrument that changed popular music forever.

By Julian Lee,
European Union sanctions on Russian oil are inching closer, with Germany, the bloc’s biggest economy, saying that it won’t oppose an embargo. But what is actually considered “Russian oil”?
Putting restrictions on Russian crude is one thing. Trying to stop the sale of Russian refined products is much more complicated, in part because it’s not clear what can, or should be, included.
For crude, it is (relatively) straightforward. Sanctions should be applied to crude pumped out of oil fields in Russia, from which the government derives revenue in the form of export duties and mineral extraction tax.
The one area of uncertainty is CPC Blend crude, which is shipped from a terminal on Russia’s Black Sea coast — close to, but entirely separate from, the country’s main export port in the region at Novorossiysk. The blend contains some molecules of Russian origin, and purchasers have been named and shamed by organizations tracking shipments of “Russian” crude.
But the situation isn’t that simple. At the export terminal, CPC Blend comprises approximately 90% crude from Kazakhstan and 10% that comes from fields in the Russian sector of the Caspian Sea, which are operated by the Russian oil company Lukoil PJSC.
While it might be technically feasible for the Russian molecules to be separated prior to export, as the US Treasury initially suggested in its guidance on Russian oil sanctions, this isn’t going to happen. The Russian operators of the export terminal aren’t going to segregate molecules from Russian oil fields just to make it easier for buyers to avoid them. That would appear to make it a candidate for sanctions.
But the CPC pipeline carries about 80% of Kazakhstan’s crude exports, and there are no realistic alternatives for more than a small fraction of that volume. So the choice is clear: Ban CPC exports and cripple the economy of Kazakhstan, while inflicting little pain on Russia. Or, accept that Moscow will continue to export a small amount of crude via the CPC system.
The US Treasury updated its guidance in mid-March, noting that CPC crude “is marketed and loaded with a certificate of origin verifying that the crude is of Kazakh origin” and that “US persons may reasonably rely upon a certificate of origin.”
So Russian crude will continue to leak onto the market, just as supplies do now from Iran and Venezuela, with some countries willing to keep buying despite sanctions. Steps could be taken to limit and gradually reduce those flows over time, by granting waivers to buyers who demonstrate that they are reducing their purchases of Russian crude. This was done with considerable success during the Obama-era sanctions on Iranian oil. Yes, there will be some smuggling and blending of Russian crude with other grades in shady ship-to-ship transfers, but no system is going to be perfect.
Refined products are even more complicated.
Fuels produced in Russian refineries are an easy target. The US ban on imports is already hitting Russian refineries that have few other outlets for selling fuel oil and vacuum gasoil and no way to avoid making them. The build-up of unsold product has forced them to cut throughput as they run out of storage space.
But what about, for example, diesel fuel produced in an Indian refinery that has started to import Russian crude alongside deliveries from traditional suppliers in the Middle East? How should those refined products be classified? Moscow won’t see tax receipts from the diesel sales — it has already collected them from the original crude cargo. But if such sales are permitted, there’s no economic incentive for Indian refiners to stop buying Russian crude. And their purchases have soared since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
The cost of shipping crude from western Russia to India and China is much greater than making deliveries to Europe, necessitating steep discounts to offset higher shipping costs and many more vessels, with voyages to Asia taking at least four times as long as trips to Europe.
Oil market dynamics, where diesel fuel is already in short supply and prices have risen to record highs, may make it very difficult to sanction products refined from Russian crude outside of Russia. Maybe that’s just something we have to live with, as the screws are tightened on Russia’s crude flows. Sanctions aren’t a failure even if they only reduce, rather than halt, Russia’s oil exports.

Clemson wide receiver Justyn Ross would have been a first-round draft pick in 2019, if the NFL would allow freshmen to declare for the draft. Ross had a 1,000-yard freshman season that culminated with six catches for 153 yards and a touchdown in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game against Alabama and was viewed as one of the truly elite talents at the wide receiver position.
But Ross couldn’t turn pro, and after returning to Clemson he suffered a stinger in practice that revealed a potentially serious congenital spinal condition that caused him to miss one full season. He did eventually return to the field, but last year his production was not the same and his season ended early because of stress fractures in his foot.
Ross went undrafted over the weekend, and now he’s just hoping that some team gives him a shot as an undrafted free agent.
“Just need dat 1 chance,” Ross wrote on Twitter.
It had to be a rough weekend for Ross, especially knowing that if not for the NFL’s draft rules forcing him to remain in school, he could have been a first-round pick who’s now heading into his fourth NFL season. | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/05/01/former-first-round-prospect-justyn-ross-goes-undrafted-hopes-for-one-chance/ | 2022-05-01T12:34:26Z | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/05/01/former-first-round-prospect-justyn-ross-goes-undrafted-hopes-for-one-chance/ | false | 2 |
* U.S. economy unexpectedly contracts in the first quarter * Dollar off 20-year highs * Silver, platinum also headed for monthly drops (Updates prices, details) By Bharat Gautam April 29 (Reuters) - Gold rose on Friday as worrying U.S. economic data rekindled some interest in the safe-haven metal, but bullion was likely to log its first monthly drop since January on bets for aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Spot gold was up 0.6% at $1,905.67 per ounce, as of 0546 GMT, but had lost about 1.6% so far this month. U.S. gold futures were up 0.9% at $1,908.10. The disappointing U.S. GDP number could take some pressure off the Fed to tighten quite as aggressively as it has hinted, a rhetoric that has pressured gold in recent weeks, said Ilya Spivak, a currency strategist at DailyFX. "That has given gold a bit of a lifeline, and knocked the dollar back just a bit. I don't expect these moves to continue though," Spivak added. Fed officials have aligned around plans to accelerate the pace of interest rate hikes this year, but remain split over what could be the make-or-break decision of where to stop to avoid dragging the economy into recession. Higher short-term U.S. interest rates and bond yields increase the opportunity cost of holding zero-yield bullion. Gold prices were headed for their first monthly percentage drop since January, with the dollar and U.S. 10-year Treasury yields strengthening this month. A stronger dollar makes greenback-priced gold less attractive for other currency holders. The dollar edged off a 20-year high it reached against rivals in the previous session. "The freight train, otherwise known as the U.S. dollar, will have to slow down at some point. And that could bode well for gold when it does," trading firm City Index's senior market analyst Matt Simpson said in a note. Spot silver gained 0.9% to $23.34 per ounce, platinum advanced 0.6% to $924.49, and palladium rose 0.7% to $2,247.63. All were set for monthly falls.

Heather and Norm have had their share of disagreements. Their separation seven years ago and the ensuing custody battle were contentious. But over the years, the pair has found a way to weather disputes cordially. They've made big decisions together and checked in regularly about their two kids, now ages 9 and 11.
But the rhythm of give and take they so carefully cultivated came to an abrupt end last fall, when it came time to decide whether to vaccinate their kids against COVID-19 — Heather was for it; Norm was against. (WHYY News has withheld their last names to protect the privacy of their children.)
In Pennsylvania, decisions about children's health must be made jointly by parents with shared legal custody, so the dispute went to court. And Heather and Norm weren't the only ones who couldn't come to an agreement on their own. In the months since the vaccine was approved for children, family court judges across the commonwealth have seen skyrocketing numbers of similar cases: divorced parents who can't agree on what to do.
When parents can't decide
Heather and Norm had a nasty divorce — they both say so. Drawn-out court battles and arguments that bled onto social media lasted years after their initial separation. But once the dust settled, somewhat miraculously they found they agreed on a lot.
"If someone would have told me in the middle of the divorce that sometime in the future, you and your ex-wife are going to be able to just call each other on the phone and have a chat, I would have said no way," said Norm. "That is totally impossible."
The two parents even created similar environments for their kids to grow up in, at least superficially.
On a bucolic 3-acre lot in Montgomery County, Penn., Heather runs a small farm where she grows rare botanicals that she supplies to local restaurants, plus a veggie garden for her family. She keeps bees and a meticulously designed, rustic chic home.
Her ex-husband lives about 20 minutes away, just across the Chester County line, where he spends much of his time in a barn behind his house growing rare mushrooms, which he also sells to local restaurants. The area where Norm does paperwork in the barn smells vaguely of nag champa, and a slender copy of the Tao Te Ching is nestled between invoices on his desk.
Both park big pickup trucks in their driveways. Both have massive trampolines for their kids to jump on.
When the pandemic started, Heather and Norm adjusted nimbly to accommodate virtual school for the kids. Soon, though, they agreed that the arrangement was taking a toll on both children, especially their son, who is older. Usually a good student, he was getting frustrated by electronic assignments, and turning in homework late or not at all. He started developing an irrational fear that a tornado was going to hit, said Heather. Both parents agreed it would benefit their children's mental health to be back among classmates as soon as that was an option.
Heather was nervous about the kids being in school before they were eligible to be vaccinated, but she assured herself that the time was coming soon, and that when it did, it would be a no-brainer.
"It gave a sense of control about all of the things that have been uncontrollable for the past two years," she said of the vaccines.
But Norm had a different calculus.
The fact that serious cases of COVID-19 were less common among kids made him feel as if his children being unvaccinated was relatively risk-free. On the flip side, Norm reasoned, the vaccines are very new, meaning there isn't data on possible side effects years or decades out. And while he acknowledged that the number of cases of initial serious side effects was hard to pinpoint, he didn't want to take any chances.
"If there's any risk whatsoever, [then] that greatly outweighs the risk of not getting them vaccinated," he said.
It's important to note that COVID-19 is not risk-free for children. During the omicron wave, young children who were not yet eligible for vaccination were five times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID than when the delta variant was more prominent. The majority of those children had no underlying conditions.
Still, children hospitalized with COVID represent a small proportion of hospitalizations, and just over 1,000 children under 18 have died of COVID since the pandemic began.
To demonstrate that his position was, in fact, a result of calculated risk and not political ideology, Norm pointed out that he made the choice to get vaccinated himself. As a 45-year-old, he figured, the potential benefits of being vaccinated outweighed the risks.
"It makes sense for me," he said. "But again, in my mind it does not make sense for a 9- and 11-year-old healthy child."
Their disagreement about whether to vaccinate their kids was not Heather and Norm's first pandemic dispute, but it was the most alarming to Heather. Earlier, she had heard from her kids that their dad encouraged them not to wear masks. (Norm said he believes that most cloth and surgical masks aren't effective at preventing transmission of SARS-CoV-2, so unless kids are going to wear N95s, masks are not worth it.) Heather was concerned by this, but also knew co-parenting is an exercise in choosing battles. She was unsettled, but ultimately figured it was behavior she couldn't influence.
"My bubble isn't just my four-person household," she said, referring to her kids and her partner. "It extends to another household that I don't have much input into or control over."
The vaccination issue was different though. It felt more fundamental to the kids' safety and well-being. Heather tried to reason and plead with Norm. She tried analogies. It was like letting them ride in a car without a seatbelt, she argued.
"Let's wait and let them play in traffic and see if they get hit by a car, not everyone dies from that," she offered, provocatively.
The two had been unable to come to an agreement by the beginning of November, when the Food and Drug Administration authorized the Pfizer vaccine for 5- to 11-year-olds.
Heather said she thought dozens of times about just going ahead and getting her kids vaccinated. The omicron wave and the holidays were on the horizon. Once it was done, there would be no undoing it.
But it wasn't quite so simple.
Like most divorced parents, Heather and Norm share legal custody of their children. That means they must make decisions together in three main areas: school, health and religion. If parents can't come to an agreement on their own, often a mediator is brought in. If a mediator can't resolve the issue, it could go to a hearing.
If one parent were to act alone by vaccinating their kids, or enrolling them in a new school against the other parent's wishes, it would be considered a violation of the custody agreement. That parent would technically be in contempt of court.
There is a range of consequences for such a violation, but it's akin to points on a driver's license, or a mark on your permanent record. Too many strikes could lead a judge to make a broad decision about whether that parent deserves custody of the children at all. Not wanting to risk a demerit, Heather decided to take the matter through formal legal channels, in family court.
A mediator would not resolve the matter, and passed it along to a judge. Heather anxiously awaited a hearing date.
In the meantime, the kids' unvaccinated status severely hampered their lives, she said. They were sent home from school to quarantine a number of times because of COVID exposures, while their vaccinated classmates were allowed to remain in class if they tested negative. The family was uninvited to a trip with friends because that family preferred everyone to be vaccinated.
The holidays came and went. A hearing date was scheduled for February.
Vaccine custody cases are on the rise
Heather and Norm are among hundreds of divorced Pennsylvania parents bringing similar cases to court. Hillary Moonay, a family law attorney at Obermeyer Law in Bucks County, Penn., who represents families in custody cases, said her firm has seen a surge in custody cases dealing with all sorts of COVID disputes.
Early in the pandemic, it was about whether parents were taking appropriate masking precautions or with whom a child should stay if a parent was exposed, she said. But once the vaccines were approved for minors, things really took off.
"I've been doing this for 25 years, and in that time frame, I've probably seen two to three cases related to disputes over children getting vaccines," said Moonay.
Now, she estimates that her family law firm, which has roughly 20 attorneys and offices in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Delaware, sees at least one case like this per week.
The scope of judges' decisions in these cases can vary widely, said Moonay. A narrow ruling would grant one parent decision-making power solely on the issue of COVID vaccines. But if a judge felt one parent's position skewed so far outside the best interest of the child, the judge could determine that parent should not have any decision-making power going forward. Moonay said she has seen both outcomes, but that one thing is certain: These disputes feel more high-stakes and more intense than other cases.
"Parents have much stronger feelings about it than they do over a lot of other custody issues," she said.
In her experience, Moonay said, judges tend to lean heavily on the medical advice of pediatricians and look at the children's vaccination history in making their decisions. If none of that contradicts the notion that the child should take the vaccine, the judge is likely to recommend it. And, she said, judges are on the lookout for signs that one parent's position may be politically motivated.
"In some cases, we have the evidence to show that because parents have posted things on social media or have spoken out at school board meetings to show that maybe their position is more than what it looks like in court," she said.
In Heather's case, the children's pediatrician did not provide a letter recommending that the kids get vaccinated. The Kimberton Clinic, which describes itself as practicing holistic medicine, offered a note that neither child had any health reasons not to receive the COVID vaccine, but that it would not recommend it outright. Instead, the clinic simply stated that it hewed to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, which recommends that healthy children be vaccinated.
That made Heather's case a bit harder. Her lawyer argued that the kids had had their other vaccinations and were missing out on school and other social activities because they weren't vaccinated against COVID-19.
Norm represented himself in court. He said he couldn't afford a lawyer. He attempted to admit a range of evidence backing his case, but the judge refused some of it.
"That was something that definitely didn't go the way that I thought it was going to go," Norm said.
He had brought along pieces penned by vaccine-skeptical doctors, such as Marty Makary, arguing that COVID vaccines for kids had more risks than benefits. In the end, the judge admitted data Norm brought from the VAERS database maintained by the CDC, to which anyone can anonymously submit adverse vaccine side effects. He was also able to submit several Johns Hopkins studies looking into the effect of the vaccines on the menstrual cycles of women and girls.
Norm also noted that being pro-vaccine was a new position for Heather. In the past, she had been the one worried about vaccines, and had placed the kids on a delayed vaccine schedule when they were little because she was worried about potential long-term consequences. After their separation, Norm had them vaccinated right away.
Now, they've switched positions. Norm said he's changed his mind because the COVID-19 vaccine doesn't have a proven track record like the other vaccines recommended for school-age children do. Heather said her calculus shifted due to the urgency of the pandemic — plus, she has a decade of motherhood under her belt.
In her closing remarks, the judge said it was clear both parents cared very much about their children's well-being, they just had different ideas of how to achieve it. She said she didn't take these cases lightly.
The parents waited days for the judge to issue a decision. Heather said she was a nervous wreck, genuinely unsure about which way the chips would fall.
It's not clear how much of Heather and Norm's complex history or the evidence they submitted was taken into account. In the end, the judge issued a simple order outlining the decision, with no explanation:
Heather would be granted decision-making authority on the matter of COVID-19 vaccination, but nothing else. She made appointments as soon as she got the order.
"It's relieving news," said Heather. "I didn't think it was going to take over three months and close to $10,000. But here we are."
The battle for their hearts and minds
It wasn't an unambiguous win for Heather, though. The whole process took a toll on the kids. The push and pull between their mom and dad had made them skeptical of vaccines, and resentful of her. She had kept them in the loop the whole time: updated them that she and their father couldn't agree, and that the decision was being made by a judge. She broke the news to them separately.
"My son is really sweet," Heather recalled. "He curled up next to me on the couch and just sort of looked like, 'Well, OK.' He was very accepting, and it was very much his personality."
Her daughter, on the other hand, did not take the news as well.
"She just looked at me and then looked out the window and said, 'No, I'm not doing that.'"
According to Heather, that's a function of her daughter's personality, too. But it's also the result, Heather thought, of her daughter being told she didn't have to do anything to her body that she didn't want to.
"I had to stress in that moment, like, actually, sweetheart, you're 9. Yes, you are," Heather said.
It hurt to feel like her daughter had turned against her, but at the same time, that's part of parenting, Heather said.
"You make difficult decisions to protect your kids all the time," she said. "You disappoint them."
Norm was also disappointed by the decision.
"It didn't make sense to me when we started the conversation; at this point, it makes even less sense to me," he said, noting that omicron infections had ebbed substantially, and that it was possible a new vaccine could be needed to target a future variant. Recent research also indicates that with omicron the Pfizer vaccine was much less effective in 5- to 11-year-olds than originally anticipated.
Still, Norm said, he had been careful to navigate the conflict without alienating his kids from their mother. He remains committed to that after the decision, as well.
"You read any book about divorce or co-parenting, and it's always in bold caps-lock letters, 'Do not disparage the other parent in front of the kids,'" said Norm. "So I've been very, very cognizant of that from the beginning."
Heather said she's set the same ground rule about Norm. But she does worry how this experience will affect her kids in the long term.
"How does that frame their critical thinking going forward? Do they then live in a limbo where they really never know what's right?" she said she wonders. As a mother, she considers it her job to give her kids a moral compass.
"That's hard when their hearts and minds get a little weaponized against what I believe to be a medically sound decision for them," Heather said.
Norm is more confident that the experience will be a net positive for the kids. He said he thinks it will teach them to navigate conflict and accept differing opinions.
Heather took both children to get their first doses in early March. She hadn't told them where they were going, and when they arrived at the pharmacy, she said, they felt ambushed and angry with her. She shrugged it off. Sometimes, she figured, this is just a mom's job.
After the shots, which were painless and quick, her kids stuffed their pockets full of Dum Dums, and Heather took them to Chipotle. It may not have been exactly the celebratory moment she'd imagined, but as she watched them eagerly dig into their quesadillas, she felt that, for the first time in two years, she could finally exhale.

Eye conditions like allergies and infections are quite prevalent in summers due to scorching heat and industry experts are of the view that this time of the year is crucial to take care of ocular health.
“Allergies, infections such as conjunctivitis and dry eye are some of the conditions. We need to be extra careful as these conditions can worsen if timely medical advice is not followed,” says Dr. Tushar Grover, Medical Director, Vision Eye Centre, New Delhi.
High levels of pollutants and irritants in the air pose another challenge. The symptoms may include itchiness, redness of the eyes or experiencing a burning sensation.
“Our eyes become sensitive during summer, so it is essential to protect them. Even if you are wearing contact lenses, wearing eyeglasses can protect your eyes,” says Dr Chikirsha Jain, Senior Consultant, Retina and Ophthalmology, Ujala Cygnus Rainbow Hospital, Agra.
In case one does not use proper eye protection, he/she can also develop dry eyes as the tear film in the eye can evaporate more quickly. If left untreated, the condition may lead to eye inflammation.
“Exposure to sun's ultraviolet rays during the summer months can increase the risk of various eye conditions, reiterating the imperativeness of regular eye examinations. As schools have reopened now, eye examination must be considered as a mandate in school readiness.
“Studies show that the pandemic has increased the number of children who may be identified with myopia and those who have refractive error may further need correction,” says Dr. Rishi Raj Borah, Country Director, Orbis India. | https://www.outlookindia.com/national/excessive-heat-during-summers-can-damage-your-eyes-say-experts-news-194342 | 2022-05-01T12:43:48Z | https://www.outlookindia.com/national/excessive-heat-during-summers-can-damage-your-eyes-say-experts-news-194342 | false | 10 |
Such a macro situation is more damaging to emerging markets in general. We have seen many EM countries (including some of our neighbors) getting into economic difficulties. This is leading to redemption by FIIs from emerging markets, which we have also seen in India since last October. However, India is much better placed to face the current situation as:
- Economic activities, post the short lived Omicron scare, have resumed strongly. Services sector, which was a laggard in growth for last two years is also showing strong improvement.
- With crude oil at around USD 100/bbl, current account deficit for FY23 is likely to be around 3% of GDP, much lower than the 4.5% levels seen in FY12-13.
- External debt levels remain low. Forex reserves are strong and adequate to meet the projected CAD and external debt payments.
- Inflation differentials between India and developed world are much lower than the levels seen in FY12/13.
While India is much better placed economically to face the current situation, starting valuations of the market are high, despite the recent correction. Such a scenario warrants caution and circumspection. Investors should brace for increased volatility over the next 6-9 months. They should keep the return expectations low and not expect to make a repeat of last two years returns. Investors investing lumpsum amounts can opt for balanced advantage funds, which toggle allocations between equity and debt. More conservative investors should opt for conservative hybrid funds. Investments in mid and small cap categories can be staggered over the next 6-9 months using SIP/ STP route.
Mid and small cap stocks have strongly outperformed large caps in last two years. Mid and small cap companies are more susceptible when liquidity is tightening and interest rates are rising. Among debt funds, short term debt funds and dynamic debt funds can be the preferred categories.
We also feel such a macro environment is conducive to value stocks as compared to growth stocks. In the last decade, we saw growth style strongly outperforming value style as inflation was low and liquidity abundant. Growth stocks are like long duration bonds as cash flows for many years are discounted in the price resulting in high multiples. The period of extremely low interest rates was very good for growth stocks ― and very challenging for value investors. The road ahead is likely to be different, restoring some of the appeal of a value strategy.

Coalition to expand health card access for older Australians
The income test for older Australians will be significantly relaxed under a Coalition promise to expand access to the seniors’ health card to allow for more affordable care.
The government is pledging to raise the income threshold for singles from $57,761 to about $90,000 from July 1, and from $92,416 to $144,000 for couples, which it says will allow for 50,000 more people to access cheaper medications and services.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the Coalition would spend more than $70 million over four years to expand eligibility.
“This means more senior Australians could save hundreds of dollars, including up to $428 a year for access to a monthly script for vital medicines and a refund for medical costs if you reach the Medicare safety net,” he said in a statement.
“This is the first major change, outside of indexation, to the income threshold of the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card in over 20 years.”
The pitch for the grey vote follows a growing election stoush over aged care, with Labor being attacked by the Coalition over a pledge to guarantee care from qualified nurses in aged care homes 24 hours a day, after the latter questioned how the party would deliver on the promise.
Minister for Families and Social Services Anne Ruston said the health card commitment would build on the Coalition’s $525 million budget promise to reduce the safety-net threshold for subsidised medications to help concession-card holders.
“We are absolutely committed to supporting older Australians to have affordable access to the medicines and care they need so they can enjoy a happy and healthy retirement,” Ruston said.
It follows the Coalition’s budget sweetener of $250 payments to various eligible pensioners and welfare recipients in Australia to buffer rising cost-of-living pressures, with the payments having begun to arrive in voters’ bank accounts last week. | https://www.watoday.com.au/politics/federal/coalition-to-expand-health-card-access-for-older-australians-20220501-p5ahlb.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-05-01T12:48:08Z | https://www.watoday.com.au/politics/federal/coalition-to-expand-health-card-access-for-older-australians-20220501-p5ahlb.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | true | 8 |
The riverboat captain is a storyteller, and Captain Don Sanders will be sharing the stories of his long association with the river — from discovery to a way of love and life.
By Capt. Don Sanders
Special to NKyTribune
The voyage of the sternwheeler, SPIRIT OF PEORIA, Captain Troy Manthe’s new toy, is the most-watched excitement on the river this week. Cap’n Troy recently acquired the SPIRIT in the town carrying its name, where it had been an Illinois River entertainment fixture since 1988. The city of Peoria had an option to purchase the paddlewheeler to prevent it from leaving. But instead, Yacht Starship Cruises of Tampa, a business belonging to Manthe, secured the vessel when the city failed to act.
Captain Manthe was also in charge of my last professional riverboat, the HILTON FLAMINGO, a New Orleans casino vessel before Hilton sold it to Hyatt Gaming of Chicago. Hyatt renamed the stern paddlewheeler the GRAND VICTORIA II and moved the floating casino to Rising Sun, Indiana, on the Middle Ohio River, where I was in command as “Senior Captain” for some 16 years.
The SPIRIT, heading for LaCrosse, Wisconsin, on the Upper Mississippi River, will join another river passenger boat; the JULIA BELLE SWAIN, often called the JULIE BELLE, or the JBS. The late Captain Dennis Trone, a legendary riverman, designed and built the steam-powered JULIE BELLE at his Dubuque Boat & Boiler Works, the former Iowa Iron Works where such historic steamboats as the CLYDE, the first iron-hulled boat on the Western Rivers, and the SPRAGUE, the largest steam towboat ever built, came to fruition on the same marine ways. The JBS has remained partially rebuilt for several years and needs reassembly. Extensive makeovers await the SPIRIT and JULIA BELLE before being moved to an undisclosed new location to operate in a passenger-carrying capacity again. So far, the owner is reluctant to disclose the new base of activity, but he has assured his followers that it will not be Tampa.
From the many photos and videos posted on social media, Captain Manthe and his crew appear to be having an exciting affair. On one posting, I mused, ”Cap’n Troy should’ve made this a paying trip – he’d a filled the boat. What an adventure it must be.”
According to a later post, rumors claim that once the boats are sufficiently equipped to leave LaCrosse, the trip to the mysterious new location will welcome passengers aboard for segments of the journey. But as Captain Dave Franklin often quipped,
“Reckon they’ll have anything good to eat on board?”
The further up the Mississippi the SPIRIT paddles, the more I’m reminded of the last time I was on the Upper during the Spring of 2012 on the epic 1,300-mile voyage of the Rafter CLYDE from Alma, Wisconsin to Aurora, Indiana on the Middle Ohio River. Whereas the SPIRIT OF PEORIA overnighted alongside the excursion boat TWILIGHT, another Captain Dennis Trone creation, while both vessels slumbered against the former center-wheel ferry, the CITY OF BATON ROUGE (CBR), the CLYDE rested alongside a municipal dock upstream from the TWILIGHT.
Back in my deckhand days during my second season aboard the Steamer AVALON in 1960, many an off-duty hour found me aboard the Baton Rogue ferryboat riding back and forth with the Chief Engineer who sold newspapers to patrons of the steam-powered ferry. A rusty Civil War cannonball the Chief discovered along the shoreline kept his pile of papers from blowing across the deck in the brisk wind whipping up the river. Ironically, the engines from the CBR are on the JULIE BELLE, now belonging to Cap’n Manthe.
Just a few years ago, in 2014, the SPIRIT and the Rafter CLYDE were together in Louisville, Kentucky, with many other riverboats to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Steamer BELLE OF LOUISVILLE, the former AVALON of my youth. Captain Alice Grady, the skipper aboard the SPIRIT, came aboard and visited the CLYDE. The picture of her broadly beaming a giant smile behind the wooden steering wheel inside the CLYDE’s pilothouse is still Alice’s signature photograph on her Facebook page. Before the remarkable riverboat gathering ended, Cap’n Alice gave me the Cook’s Tour of her boat.
Speaking of Louisville reminds me that the SPIRIT was my friend’s design, Captain Alan L. Bates, late of that city. Cap’n Bate’s remarkable book for model builders and steamboat buffs of all stripes, “The Western Rivers Steamboat Cyclopedium,” is always within reach of my computer desk, next to Cap’n Fred Way’s directories of steam packets and towboats. Alan’s Cyclopedium influenced the building of the Rafter CLYDE, according to a quote in Heartland Boating, September 2004:
“Ed knew CLYDE’s general shape and design from pictures he had and then relied on a book called ‘The Western Rivers Steamboat Cyclopedia (sic)’ by Alan L. Bates for help with details.”
By the time this column is published, the SPIRIT OF PEORIA will be two days already in LaCrosse and partnered with her new sister boat, the JULIA BELLE SWAIN. More information will be forthcoming about Captain Troy’s plans for his new sensations.
Indeed, he surely has a raft of ideas concerning the future of these classic paddlewheelers. So all we can do in the meantime is wait, watch, and wonder what is in store for them.
Captain Don Sanders is a river man. He has been a riverboat captain with the Delta Queen Steamboat Company and with Rising Star Casino. He learned to fly an airplane before he learned to drive a “machine” and became a captain in the USAF. He is an adventurer, a historian and a storyteller. Now, he is a columnist for the NKyTribune and will share his stories of growing up in Covington and his stories of the river. Hang on for the ride — the river never looked so good. | https://www.nkytribune.com/2022/05/the-river-the-voyage-of-the-sternwheeler-spirit-of-peoria-leaving-namesake-city-for-lacrosse-wisc/ | 2022-05-01T12:50:03Z | https://www.nkytribune.com/2022/05/the-river-the-voyage-of-the-sternwheeler-spirit-of-peoria-leaving-namesake-city-for-lacrosse-wisc/ | false | 1 |
$238M in student loans being discharged for 28K borrowers due to school ‘misconduct’
(NEXSTAR) – Roughly 28,000 borrowers will have their loans discharged after a set of beauty schools were found to have “preyed” on them and failed to teach them key skills for the trade, the Department of Education announced Thursday. The borrowers will no longer be responsible for paying $238 million in student loans as a whole, amounting to about $8,500 in relief per borrower.
According to the Education Department, borrowers who attended Marinello Schools of Beauty between 2009 and its closure in February 2016 are included in the latest action. During those seven years, the school is accused of harming these borrowers with “pervasive and widespread misconduct.”
“Marinello preyed on students who dreamed of careers in the beauty industry, misled them about the quality of their programs, and left them buried in unaffordable debt they could not repay,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a press release. “Today’s announcement will streamline access to debt relief for thousands of borrowers caught up in Marinello’s lies.”
Borrowers who have been misled by their school or attended a school that engaged in misconduct can be eligible for “borrower defense to loan repayment,” the Federal Student Aid office explains. If approved, a borrower may have some or all of their federal student loan debt discharged, meaning they no longer need to make payments on it. This covers direct loans from the government only.
As of Thursday, the Education Department says it has approved about 300 defense claims related to Marinello after finding last summer that the schools had made “misrepresentations about the instruction that would be offered at its campuses across the country.” Students of Marinello weren’t properly trained on “key elements of a cosmetology program,” the department found, including how to cut hair. At times, Marinello also left students without instructors for weeks or months.
Because of Marinello’s misconduct, former students have struggled to pass state licensing tests. Class-action lawsuits have already been filed against Marinello in Nevada and California, accusing the school of using salons as profit centers and students as unpaid laborers.
The group discharge of loans will include those that haven’t yet applied for a borrower defense discharge, according to the Department of Education. This is the first group discharged for defrauded borrowers under the Biden administration and the first since 2017.
Students who attended Marinello between 2009 and 2016 will be notified of their approvals for discharge soon, the Education Department said Thursday. Borrowers won’t need to take any additional actions to receive their discharges.
Since Biden took office, a total of $2.1 billion in student loan relief has been approved for 132,000 defrauded borrowers.
Among those are roughly 1,800 former DeVry University students who received relief after the Education Department found the institution “made widespread substantial misrepresentations about its job placement rates.” Another 25,900 borrowers are receiving borrower defense discharges due to findings related to five other institutions, including Marinello. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2586491188155/238m-in-student-loans-being-discharged-for-28k-borrowers-due-to-school-misconduct | 2022-05-01T12:56:40Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2586491188155/238m-in-student-loans-being-discharged-for-28k-borrowers-due-to-school-misconduct | true | 15 |
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Current and former Delaware politicians, family and friends of Pierre S. “Pete” du Pont IV remembered the late governor, U.S. House member and presidential candidate for reviving the state’s economy, working across the partisan aisle and sharing a cheerful spirit.
Friday’s memorial service at a Wilmington theater came nearly a year after du Pont died in May 2021at age 86 after a long illness. COVID-19 safety concerns delayed the tribute until now, news outlets reported.
“As Pete understood, our political adversaries can and should be friends,” conservative columnist George Will, a longtime friend to du Pont, said in his eulogy. “Pete did it right and had fun all the way.”
A member of the moneyed family known for its chemical company holdings, du Pont broke from the business world toward law and Republican politics. Following one term in the state House and three terms in Congress, du Pont was elected governor in 1976 and set about working to restore the state’s financial stability.
Du Pont forged successful relationships with lawmakers from both parties to tackle prison overcrowding, corruption and school desegregation. He was reelected in a landslide in 1980. His second term was marked by landmark legislation he signed that loosened Delaware’s banking laws, making the state attractive to some of the nation’s largest credit card companies.
The state’s economy is “built on the back of Gov. du Pont’s decisions,” current Gov. John Carney, a Democrat, said during the service.
”He set a new standard for how we treat each other in this state,” Carney added. “And it changed our expectations about ourselves.”
Du Pont announced in 1986 what became a longshot presidential bid. He attempted to separate himself from better-known candidates by questioning social programs that rivals feared to address. He withdrew in early 1988 following poor showings in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary.
Du Pont’s four children shared remembrances as well, particularly his humor. His son, Ben, recalled asking why his father had taken up bowling: “He said, ‘I made more friends and gained more votes than anything else I have done.’”
“He could make anyone laugh and that was just a gift to have,” added his widow, Elise, in a recording shown on a big screen.
U.S. Sen. Tom Carper and former Gov. Mike Castle also attended Friday’s service, which concluded with the singing of “God Bless America.” A version is played before every home game for the Philadelphia Flyers — du Pont’s favorite team. The longtime anthem singer for the Flyers led the song in a prerecorded video. | https://www.yourbasin.com/political/late-del-gov-du-pont-remembered-for-bipartisanship-humor/ | 2022-05-01T13:00:26Z | https://www.yourbasin.com/political/late-del-gov-du-pont-remembered-for-bipartisanship-humor/ | true | 33 |

Treasuries Close Moderately Lower Ahead Of Next Week's Fed Meeting
(RTTNews) - Treasuries saw considerable volatility in morning trading on Friday before spending the afternoon in negative territory.
Bond prices regained some ground going into the close but remained in the red. Subsequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, rose by 2.3 basis points to 2.887 percent.
The lower close by treasuries may have reflected concerns about next week's Federal Reserve meeting, with the Fed widely expected to raise interest rates by 50 basis points.
Traders are likely to pay close attention to the Fed's accompanying statement for clues about aggressive the central bank plans to tighten monetary policy going forward.
On the U.S. economic front, a report released by the Commerce Department showed U.S. personal income increased by slightly more than expected in the month of March, while U.S. personal spending jumped by much more than anticipated.
The Commerce Department said personal income rose by 0.5 percent in March after climbing by an upwardly revised 0.7 percent in February.
Economists had expected personal income to rise by 0.4 percent compared to the 0.5 percent increase originally reported for the previous month.
The report also showed personal spending jumped by 1.1 percent in March after advancing by an upwardly revised 0.6 percent in February.
Personal spending was expected to increase by 0.7 percent compared to the 0.2 percent uptick originally reported for the previous month.
Meanwhile, a reading on inflation said to be preferred by the Fed showed the annual rate of core consumer price growth slowed to 5.2 percent in March from 5.3 percent in February.
While the Fed meeting is likely to be in the spotlight next week, traders are also likely to keep an eye on the monthly jobs report.
Reports on manufacturing and service sector activity, factory orders, the U.S. trade deficit and labor productivity may also attract some attention

Mino Raiola, the influential and often controversial sports agent to some of soccer's biggest players, has died. He was 54.
Raiola died after a long illness, his family confirmed on Saturday. He had been undergoing treatment at Milan's San Raffaele hospital, where he was visited by Zlatan Ibrahimovic this week. Raiola underwent surgery in January but it was said at the time that it was not life-threatening.
"In infinite sorrow, we share the passing of the most caring and amazing football agent that ever was," read a post from "The Raiola Family" on his social media accounts.

READ MORE: Real reason for Liverpool's astonishing success
"Mino fought until the end with the same strength he put on negotiation tables to defend our players. As usual, Mino made us proud and never realised it."
Raiola was the agent of stars such as Erling Haaland and Paul Pogba, as well as Ibrahimovic.
He was famous for getting his players big-money moves but also drew the ire of soccer managers, including Alex Ferguson after he negotiated Pogba's transfer from Manchester United to Juventus in 2012.
He also dealt with Pogba's return to United in 2016 for a then-world-record fee of $156, of which Raiola earned $40 million. He was paid millions more by Pogba and United.
Raiola was in the process of negotiating Haaland's expected move away from Borussia Dortmund this summer, with Manchester City one of several possible destinations for the Norwegian starlet.
Raiola also oversaw the departure of Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from childhood club AC Milan to Paris Saint-Germain last year. Mario Balotelli was another of his clients.
"Mino touched so many lives through his work and wrote a new chapter in the history of modern football. His presence will forever be missed," added the announcement of his death.
"Mino's mission of making football a better place for players will continue with the same passion."
Italian and international media widely reported on Thursday that Raiola had died but that was categorically denied to The Associated Press by his agency and later refuted apparently by Raiola himself on social media.
It was also wrongly reported he had died in January when he was taken to the hospital for what was later confirmed as "ordinary medical checks that require anesthesia."
Raiola was born in the southern Italian city of Nocera Inferiore but moved to the Netherlands after less than a year.
He worked as a waiter in his father's Italian restaurant while at high school and went on to study law for two years at university.
Raiola was a youth team soccer player and administrator before starting his career as a sports agent by assisting in the transfer of Dutch players to foreign clubs.
He was rarely far from controversy or the limelight — much like several of the players he represented. Raiola compared FIFA to a mafia organisation in 2013 and called the governing body's then-president Sepp Blatter a "demented dictator."
Along with fellow "super agents" Jorge Mendes and Jonathan Barnett, Raiola threatened FIFA with legal action over plans for a cap on transfer payments in 2020. | https://wwos.nine.com.au/football/mino-raiola-dies-agent-of-zlatan-ibrahimovic-pogba-erling-haaland/9cd6aae9-6081-49fe-9722-6d7d1c04bf16 | 2022-05-01T13:18:03Z | https://wwos.nine.com.au/football/mino-raiola-dies-agent-of-zlatan-ibrahimovic-pogba-erling-haaland/9cd6aae9-6081-49fe-9722-6d7d1c04bf16 | true | 7 |
The European Investment Bank (EIB) and independent family-owned group, Florimond Desprez have signed a €40 million loan agreement to finance research into new climate change-resistant plant varieties.
Funding will be used for research, development and innovation activities focusing on breeding new crop varieties which are capable of coping with changes in agro-climatic conditions.
Aim of the project is to increase the resistance of agricultural systems to climate change, and reduce the environmental footprint of farming activities, while safeguarding agricultural yields, the margins and viability of businesses in the sector.
Chair of Florimond Desprez, François Desprez said:
“In light of the need for an agro-ecological transition, the challenges of climate change and the crucial importance of Europe’s food sovereignty, we must step up our research efforts.”
With the European Commission’s support, investment is guaranteed by the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), the central pillar of the Investment Plan for Europe. The commission explained:
“In addition to withstanding more frequent and extreme bouts of abiotic and biotic stress, these new plant varieties will have to support the agro-ecological transition and mitigate the shortage of natural resources.”
Besides its positive environmental impact, this project will create 30 new full-time posts for highly qualified employees in research and development, the commission said.
Florimond Desprez, with its head office in northern France, conducts research into the breeding of plant varieties and seed production. This investment will mainly benefit the group’s research facilities in France and Belgium, along with six other European countries.
European Commissioner for the Economy, Paolo Gentiloni said:
“Investments like this will allow an even more careful and efficient use of our natural resources in line with the European Green Deal, while supporting jobs and businesses in Europe’s agricultural sector.”
EIB vice president, Ambroise Fayolle said new developed varieties of field crops by Florimond Desprez help the EU maintain its competitiveness in a field that is vital for the future, and the success of its transition to a sustainable agro-ecological model. | https://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/e40m-to-research-plant-varieties-resistant-to-climate-change/ | 2022-05-01T13:22:49Z | https://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/e40m-to-research-plant-varieties-resistant-to-climate-change/ | false | 1 |
14ymedio, Havana, 28 April 2022 — Cubana de Aviación last of its remaining three Embraer 110s disabled this Wednesday, after its landing gear collapsed at the José Martí International Airport while it was being towed by ground personnel at Terminal 1.
The news was confirmed by the Facebook group Amantes de la aviación cubana, which also published several photos showing the operators surrounding the aircraft and its license plate: EMB-110 CU-T1551.
It is not the first time that this plane, a Brazilian-made Embraer, has had problems, according to a source from the airport who asks to remain anonymous. “It was broken for a long time, lying in the hangar. They fixed it because there was no plane for domestic flights, and on the same day they announced there was mow domestic flight service, they had to tow it to the hangar again,” explains this source. , referring to last March, when Cubana de Aviación assured that it would resume domestic service with the connection between Havana and Holguín, with two weekly flights.
The same aircraft had its landing gear fall apart in November 2020, when touching down in Havana from Nueva Gerona, in an accident that resulted in no victims among its twenty passengers.
Last October, and just days after an announcement of new routes by Cubana de Aviación, the Ministry of Transportation announced that the state airline would keep its domestic flights canceled due to the poor condition of the planes.
“The technical availability of the fleet is not a secret; it is known that it is affected and has been very limited in the acquisition of parts to keep our aircraft in flight, so this programming will not start until the conditions created with our aircraft are in place, to start providing domestic flights,” the general director of Transportation and Tickets, Luis Ladrón de Guevara, acknowledged then on national television.
Months later, in January of this year, the state airline was involved in a controversy, when it came to light that Spain had granted direct aid valued at 200,000 euros to the branch of Cubana de Aviación in Madrid.
In any case, the serious crisis of Cubana de Aviación goes back a long way and the coronavirus pandemic only helped to seal its fate.
Last summer, the company was embroiled in a problem, when the International Air Transport Association (IATA) informed travel agencies that the state-owned airline would no longer participate in Spain’s BSP payment compensation mechanism, so the issuance of tickets, electronic multipurpose documents (EMD) and refunds in the name of the company had to be stopped.
In August, the airline maintained some international flights to Madrid with an Ilyushin Il-96, but the rest of the international destinations and several routes to the Spanish capital were operated by other companies.
In 2019, after 17 years without a single purchase, Cubana signed a contract to acquire two ATR 72-600 turboprops from the French-Italian company that had sold it two ATR 42-500 and one ATR 72-200 years before, but the operation It was canceled months later due to the tightening of the embargo during the Donald Trump Administration, which prevents Cuba from acquiring equipment that has 10% or more of its components made in the United States.
That same year, the state company had several problems on its flights, including an emergency on one of its planes due to the loss of the navigation system.
In addition, in May 2018 there was a serious accident in which 112 people lost their lives on a domestic flight between Havana and Holguín and the only survivor was Mailén Díaz.

Tarot
Your May 2022 Monthly Tarot Reading
Taurus vibes come for celebration and self-discovery.
I approached this five-card tarot spread for May 2022 with the simple question: What do we need to know this month? May’s predominately Taurean energy is reflected in the cards this month, with a focus on enjoying the stability you’ve created, celebrating the sensory joys of being a person in the world, nurturing yourself and others, and trusting that if you’re doing your best, you’re on the right path. The takeaway? Just keep going.
How I Read Tarot Cards
Fortune telling, including tarot reading, is a survival trade for Roma, often passed down through families like mine. May is a big month of celebration and reflection for Roma: Ederlezi occurs on May 6, a spring festival of feasting, flowers, music, and dancing for many Eastern European and Central Asian Roma. Then, Romani Resistance Day on May 16 commemorates an uprising of unarmed Roma and Sinti in Auschwitz-Birkenau, who attacked armed Nazi guards and miraculously won, delaying their mass execution for a few months. Both the Roma and Sinti genocide and the Romani resistance movement are underacknowleged. This month always inspires me to stand strong in my roots and celebrate my heritage, even the harder parts. I love how fortune-telling encourages people who turn to divination for guidance to live their best life. I hope that this month’s reading inspires you to take actions, no matter how small, that honor both the path that took you here and your road ahead.
The five cards below represent embodiment, or your energy right now; situation, or what’s around you at the moment; obstacle, or a struggle you’re facing; action, or what to do about it; and a lesson, or what you will learn from this month.
Embodiment: Four Of Cups
You are embodying the Four of Cups this May, which is a card of comfort, routine, and even boredom. The number four indicates stability in numerology, and the cups are the suite of the emotions and relationships. Feeling secure is a good thing, but if you’re seeking change and excitement, this gift might seem lackluster — you might even take your situation for granted. Try to appreciate this softer time as an opportunity to recharge and appreciate the life you’ve created. Even if it’s just a few minutes, use your downtime to breathe deeply and practice gratitude even while doing simple things, like drinking water. Enjoy the small things to anchor yourself in the present.
Situation: The Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune means that fate is in the driver’s seat, and your job is to go along for the ride. When my grandmother taught me tarot, she emphasized that people have free will, but fate can turn up to nudge you in a certain direction. Whatever your personal beliefs in fate and free will might be, this card is letting you know that the quiet of the Four of Cups is exactly where you need to be. The time to take action will come, but stillness serves its purpose too. Trust in yourself, and be patient.
Obstacle: The Queen of Pentacles
The Queen of Pentacles reminds you to be practical, nurturing, sensual, and grounded. The Queen is very apt for Taurus season, a ruler of pleasure and the senses. Since she turned up as the obstacle, you might be having difficulty taking care of yourself or taking joy in the physical world. Now is the perfect time to fine-tune your routine: Get enough sleep in a tidy-enough bedroom on comfy sheets. Eat a real breakfast that you actually enjoy. Make time for extras like hot girl walks or a dance class. If a job or a relationship feels too good to be true right now, maybe it actually is that good. Trust yourself enough to settle in with your crush, or take the opportunity at work. You deserve to be nourished.
Action: Nine of Swords
This card is about dealing with critical thoughts — the ones that race through your mind and keep you up at night. Since this card is our call to action, it means that it’s time to address these harmful thoughts running through your head. Try writing out all your persistent negative beliefs and prove each one wrong. If you’re thinking, “I’m a failure,” then question that. What does that even mean? List off the things that you’ve accomplished, acknowledge your tenacity, your resilience, and everything you’ve made it through to be here. It can also be helpful to find the origin of your mindset, too. Maybe it comes from criticism you heard as a kid, at home, in school, or on the playground. Wherever it came from, it’s certainly not your truth. It will take some work, but focus your attention on putting those critical thoughts to rest. They are wounds ready to be healed.
Lesson: The Four Of Wands
The Four of Wands is another card meaning stability, particularly that of a happy home. It can also symbolize meeting a goal or a celebration. For the month of May, you might learn how to settle in — literally and emotionally. Even more than that, you can enjoy yourself. The wand suite represents fire, movement, communication, and creative energy, so the best way to do this is to take concrete actions. Say affirmations out loud like they are antidotes to negative thoughts. Make adjustments to your surroundings to help you meet your goals. For example, you could clear a spot in your bedroom for a workout mat, so you just have to roll out of bed to go right into your stretches. Fine-tune your life for optimum harmony wherever you can.
How To Use May 2022's Tarot Lessons
Try a month-long gratitude practice this month in your journal, or in a note on your phone, paying close attention to the small things you usually overlook or take for granted about your life, and yourself. Did you hold the door open for someone even though you were in a rush? Great job! Does your aloe plant look particularly luscious today? Noted and appreciated. May is shining up what you’ve already created, and while fear of the quiet life might tempt you to be chaotic, just settle in. | https://www.bustle.com/life/may-2022-monthly-tarot-reading | 2022-05-01T13:33:56Z | https://www.bustle.com/life/may-2022-monthly-tarot-reading | true | 1 |
ROME (AP) — Italy and Greece relaxed some COVID-19 restrictions on Sunday, in a sign that life was increasingly returning to normal before Europe's peak summer tourist season.
Greece’s civil aviation authority announced that it was lifting all COVID-19 rules for international and domestic flights except for the wearing of face masks during flights and at airports. Previously, air travelers were required to show proof of vaccination, a negative test or a recent recovery from the disease.
Under a decree passed by Italy's health ministry, the country did away with the health pass that had been required to enter restaurants, cinemas, gyms and other venues. The green pass, which showed proof of vaccination, recovery from the virus or a recent negative test, is still required to access hospitals and nursing homes.
Some indoor mask mandates also ended, including inside supermarkets, workplaces and stores. Masks are still required on public transport, in cinemas and in all health care and eldercare facilities.
“It was needed,” said Claudio Civitelli, a Rome resident who was having his morning coffee at a bar near the Trevi Fountain. Until Sunday, patrons had to wear a mask to enter bars and restaurants, though they could remove them to eat and drink. “We have waited more than two years.”
At a nearby table, Andrea Bichler, an Italian tourist from Trentino Alto-Adige, sat with similarly maskless friends.
“It’s much better,” Bichler said. “Let’s say it’s a return to life, a free life.”
Public health officials say masks still remain highly recommended for all indoor activities, and private companies can still require them.
As of Sunday, visitors to Italy also no longer have to fill out the EU passenger locator form, a complicated and user-unfriendly online form required at airport check-in.
Even with the restrictions increasingly going by the wayside, public health officials urged prudence and stressed that the pandemic was still not over. Italy is reporting 699 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and is recording more than 100 deaths per day, with a total confirmed death toll at 163,500. But hospital capacity remains stable and under the critical threshold.
Given the virus is still circulating, "we should keep up the vaccine campaign, including boosters, and keep up behavior inspired by prudence: wearing masks indoors or in crowded places or wherever there's a risk of contagion,” said Dr. Giovanni Rezza, in charge of prevention at the health ministry.
Italy was the epicenter of Europe's outbreak when it recorded the first locally transmitted case on Feb. 21, 2020. The government imposed one of the harshest lockdowns and production shutdowns in the West during the first wave of the virus, and maintained more stringent restrictions than many of its neighbors in subsequent waves.

Some 30 years ago, a public health investigator overheard a story about a doctor being reprimanded for treating an elderly black man with syphilis. The investigator had stumbled upon one of the most notorious medical experiments in U.S. history: 399 black men with syphilis went untreated so scientists could study how the disease ravages the body.

There’s pretty much only one possible reason that you draft a quarterback in the first round. You do it when you believe he is a guy who is capable of bringing your team to the Super Bowl and winning it. If he’s not that guy, and you’re not convinced he’s that guy, you just don’t do it.
We saw that this weekend with the league collectively spurning this year’s quarterback class. The Pittsburgh Steelers were the only team to take one in the first two rounds drafting Kenny Pickett 20th overall. Malik Willis and Desmond Ridder and company had to wait.
But the Steelers are not and cannot be concerned with what others have done. They had a guy, and they got their guy. And we know he’s their guy, because none of the other guys were taken when they picked, so they had their choice of all of them.
He’s the guy they think will be hoisting a Lombardi Trophy for them in the future—ideally multiple times. And that’s what he plans to come here and do, as he told Missi Matthews for an interview with the team’s website after he was drafted.
While taking a ‘tour’ of the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex—it’s hard to call it a tour when he’s worked there for five years—he was asked what the one thing he wants to accomplish in Pittsburgh, while standing in front of the display case housing their six Super Bowl trophies.
“Right here”, he said. “Adding to this trophy case is the ultimate goal. It’s the ultimate championship, so I can’t wait to start chasing them”.
As the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Panthers last season, Pickett led his team to the ACC Championship title. He sat out the Peach Bowl game that followed against Michigan State, though, which he lost, thanks in part to his new teammate, Connor Heyward, who scored one of Michigan State’s three offensive touchdowns.
The Steelers’ six Super Bowl titles are tied for the most in NFL history with the New England Patriots, but they have not won one since the 2008 season, and have not reached the title game since 2010. Indeed, that haven’t even won a postseason game since 2016.
The quarterback position became their top need in the wake of Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement, who helped bring trophies five and six to the ‘Burgh in 2005 and 2008, respectively. They reached peerless status with their six title until the Patriots matched them a few years ago.
They continue to have aspirations of being and remaining at the top, of course, which is what drove their move to draft Pickett.

Videos featuring animals' antics claim a massive viewership on social media. There is no denial of the fact that such videos are relishing and entertaining as well. Now, a video currently doing rounds on the internet featuring a sea lion is worth rewatching. The video was shot at a beachside resort in the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador.
In the now-viral video, a sea lion can be seen trying to get out of the ocean. Once it wriggles out of the sea, it slowly starts climbing up the stairs heading towards the swimming pool near the ocean. As it reached the pool, it dived in, took a lap, and then got out. Funnily enough, the sea lion then took over a man's lounging chair and starts relaxing atop it. The man perplexedly got up from the chair the sea lion next to him. As the sea lion lay on the chair, the man pulled his towel from under the creature and threw it on the other chair seemingly in frustration. The video was shared by Viral Hog on Instagram.
Meanwhile, visitors in the resort can be seen filming the whole incident on their gadgets. Many were stunned by seeing the sea lion's endeavours on the land. However, Galapagos sea lions and to a lesser extent, their Californian cousins, are very playful and are likely to approach divers closely in sea.
Ever since the video surfaced on social media, it has garnered around 163K views accompanied by likes and comments. The video has prompted people to react and put out their views. "He should be allowed to chill there, I mean they did build on his home", a user wrote. The second user wrote, "Why’d he have to take the towel lol let that baby live his best life". The third user wrote, "I watched this like 10 times. That's his spot. Somebody please serve this guy a seafood mojito".

Rangers legend Kris Boyd kept a poker face when an excitable Celtic fan approached the glass of the Sky Sports studio to gloat amid an impending title win.
But he delivered a cutting remark moments later as he joked the home crowd were gracious in bringing their beach balls to wish Giovanni van Bronckhorst and company well in their Europa League semi-final.
Four more points from a remaining nine will tie up the Premiership for Ange Postecoglou after a 1-1 draw at home to Gers.
They could have had it virtually sewn up on Sunday after Jota's opener but Fashion Sakala hit back to at least prolong the wait to lift the trophy.
But Boyd wasn't too fussed and kept his cool when a supporter approached the glass that allows the pundits to look out onto the pitch, cheering with both arms aloft and clearly with one target for his wind-up in mind.
Inflatable beach balls were seen around all sides of Parkhead in reference to the automatic Champions League place Celtic now look nailed on to clinch, with referee John Beaton even required to remove one from the field of play at a point.
But with Thursday night's second leg to come against RB Leipzig, the grinning former striker later remarked: "I think both teams were wasteful in front of goal.
"But in a match where you don't usually see a lot of respect from the fans, I've got to say, it was fantastic from the Celtic fans today.
"Coming out with respect with the beach balls and inflatables, wishing Rangers all the best in Seville.
"Hopefully that's the case!
"Fair play to them, fantastic, but we've still got a game to win!" | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/kris-boyd-gives-celtic-fan-26844077 | 2022-05-01T14:02:54Z | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/kris-boyd-gives-celtic-fan-26844077 | false | 1 |

The World Forestry Congress, the world‘s largest gathering of foresters, kicked off its five-day run in Seoul on Monday. The 15th edition of the WFC will be running from Monday through Friday at Coex in Gangnam.
The WFC is the most influential global forestry gathering, held every six years under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
It’s the first time the WFC has been held in South Korea, and it is also the first time in 44 years that the congress is being held in the Asia-Pacific region. It was last hosted in the region by Indonesia in 1978.
The congress is designed to allow people from the world’s forestry sector to strengthen international cooperation with forest supporters and related partners. The event has also functioned as a forum that provides participants with opportunities to exchange views and experiences on all aspects of forestry and the environment. By sharing expertise and experiences, the event aims to help identify the actions required to solve pending issues across the world.
Park Eun-sik, director general of international affairs bureau at the Korea Forest Service, said “(The government) has put its utmost efforts into the congress over the last two years, for which the country may not get another chance to host at another time.”
This year‘s congress is anticipated to be the largest ever, with the participation of around 10,000 people, including government officials, members of international organizations, civic activists and academics from over a total of 143 countries.
The KFS estimates about 2,000 participants will visit from overseas. The number of local participants who pre-registered is about 5,300 so far.
Distinguished guests from abroad include United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. The leaders of international organizations, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the Global Environment Facility and the International Renewable Energy Agency, will be also joining the congress. Forest and related ministries from more than 40 countries will attend the event to discuss policies regarding forests and the environment.
Under the theme of “Building a Green, Healthy and Resilient Future with Forests,” the latest edition of the congress will offer a unique opportunity for the global forestry community to consider the current state and future of world forestry, particularly in the context of global climate change, according to the KFS.
The event will work as a place to discuss relevant measures to achieve the sustainable development goals. High-level meetings and special events throughout the congress will also become venues for debate on pending challenges such as global climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The congress has prepared six sub-themes to address the most important current issues concerning forests, through which it will address the importance of restoring and preserving forests and the ways forestation can play its part in achieving carbon neutrality and responding to climate change.
The six sub-themes include, Turning the tide: Reversing deforestation and forest degradation; Nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation; The green pathway to growth and sustainability; Forests and human health: Revisiting the connections; Managing and communicating forest information, data, and knowledge; and Forests without boundaries: Enhancing management and cooperation.
During the event, South Korea will also promote its experiences of reforestation to attendees from all over the world.
According to the KFS, South Korea’s successful history of reforestation has already been recognized worldwide. The country’s reforestation since the Korean War, in particular, is regarded by many international organizations as one of the most successful initiatives of its kind.
Before 1970, forests were destroyed as the country used trees as its main natural resource. The destruction of forests in the country consequently brought about avalanches, floods and other disasters.
As more people began noticing the importance of forests, the government stepped up.
The government took initiatives and supported reforestation through various policies. The government analyzed the survival rates of trees in different regions to create a better tree-management system. Illegal logging was cracked down on. The government provided incentives to public officers based on how many trees they planted and began introducing eco-friendly policies to develop a better environment for tree growth. To prevent slash-and-burn agriculture, the government also provided new settlements and jobs to the farmers.
After decades of effort, South Korea was able to restore many forests across the country. A 2019 UN Food and Agriculture Organization report showed that South Korea had the highest rate of increasing forest stock in the Asia-Pacific region between 1990 and 2015.
South Korea‘s successful reforestation history was recognized worldwide, and the KFS started to share its reforestation know-how. In the earlier stage, the country shared its know-hows with Mongolia and China, but now, the country is handing down reforestation techniques to many more countries, including Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar and other Southeast Asian countries, as well as countries in Central Asia, South America and Africa.
Prior to hosting the WFC this year, South Korea also held a series of forest-related international congresses, such as the IUFRO World Congress in 2010, the UNCCD Congress in 2011, and the International Wildland Fire Conference in 2015.
Park said South Korea would do its best to successfully host the congress, adding that the congress will help the country strengthen its global leadership in the forestry sector.

Will County Board District 11 candidate Antonio Timothee answered Shaw Local’s election questionnaire for the Will County Board primary election.
Voting ends for the primary election on the evening of June 28.
Full Name: Antonio Timothee
What office are you seeking? Will County Board District 11
What offices, if any, have you previously held? N/A
City: Bolingbrook
Occupation: Construction Project Manager
Education: Some College
The Will County Board has established broad parameters for how it should spend more than $133 million in federal pandemic aid including infrastructure, health purposes and economic development. What specific causes should the board focus on when spending that money?
Property Tax Relief.
The Will County Board has yet to decide on how to spend new revenue from its recreational marijuana sales tax. How should that revenue be allocated?
In any way that will allow the repeal of the gasoline tax and to create true property tax relief.
The board has been discussing what to do with the old county courthouse property. While it’s limited to using it for public purposes, what do you think should happen to the former courthouse building and the land on which it sits?
It should be sold.
Do you think Will County should maintain the county executive form of government? Please explain.
Yes, I do believe that the County should maintain the County executive form as long as the people get to elect this executive.
The county is conducting a diversity and inclusion study of its operations. While the study is ongoing, what do you think county government should do to ensure diversity and inclusion in its hiring and contracting processes?
I believe people should be measured by their character and hired by their capabilities. If for some reason there happens to be a large discrepancy in the ratio of diversity in the hiring then the county should investigate the reason for such a discrepancy. If it is found that the discrepancy is due to hiring practices, then those should be studied and addressed if the discrepancy is due to the size and/or quality of the pool of hires, then the county should look for ways to increase the size and quality of their hiring pool.
The annual salaries of countywide elected officials in Will County tend to trail their counterparts in neighboring suburban counties. Do you support raising salaries of countywide elected officials in Will County?
No. I do not support raising the salaries of any elected official.
The county has seen an increase in opioid overdose deaths during the past year. Its substance use initiatives office has worked to combat the epidemic. What more do you think the county should do to prevent such incidents?
Expand their substance abuse programs. Specially helping parents of kids who have an addiction problem but have no one to turn to. Many parents have no idea how to help their kids stay off of drugs.
How would you encourage economic and employment growth within Will County?
Lower taxes! Property tax, fuel tax, sales tax, this county needs serious tax reform. The cost of doing business in this county is high and getting higher every year.
Do you think there is a local crime problem? If so, what needs to be done about it?
In some areas, yes. Help police have the required resources. Prosecutors have to do their jobs also.
What local road and bridge projects should be a priority to get done in the county?
Wherever there is an imminent danger to the public should always have priority.
Do you support decreasing local property taxes? If so, how would the county make up the difference?
Yes, there needs to be real property tax relief for the residents of this county. The difference should be made in cutting any and all excesses in county spending.
Do you support stronger county government ethics laws? What measures do you support?
Not only are stronger ethics laws important but imperative! Any new laws must also be clear and unambiguous. New ethic laws should seek to eliminate favoritism, cronyism and nepotism. Laws that limit conflicts of interest in government and laws that facilitate open records and transparency in government are necessary.
What are your thoughts on the Illinois Freedom of Information Act?
The Freedom of Information Act is a great tool for the people of this state. I have first hand seen the effects of this tool. This is one of the few tools the taxpayer has to help keep tabs on our elected officials.
Please state your plan to maintain government transparency.
An open government is important to our taxpayers. Our budgets need to be expanded on, our taxpayers need to know what they are paying for, where it is being spent. Online portals, e-government, internet-based technologies can be used to deliver this type of information to the taxpayer.
What would you push for as a member of county government to boost local businesses? Lower taxes. Real, true property tax relief. Should government employees and officials be allowed to sign nondisclosure agreements with private businesses?
No. A public official should never be able to sign an NDA. I think it creates distrust and makes for bad governing.
Would you push for or against government officials and employees being allowed to sign non-disclosure agreements with private businesses?
I would be against government officials or employees signing non-disclosure agreements with private businesses. | https://www.shawlocal.com/news/election/2022/05/01/antonio-timothee-will-county-board-2022-primary-election-questionnaire/ | 2022-05-01T14:39:40Z | https://www.shawlocal.com/news/election/2022/05/01/antonio-timothee-will-county-board-2022-primary-election-questionnaire/ | false | 1 |
These Are the Counties in the Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, OH-PA Metro Area with the Most Deaths from COVID-19
Though cases of the omicron variant appear to have peaked in the United States, the virus continues to claim lives. So far, more than 980,000 Americans have died from the virus - more than the total number of Americans killed in World War I and World War II combined.
In the Youngstown-Warren-Boardman metropolitan area, which covers parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania, a total of 2,517 deaths have been attributed to the virus, equal to 461 fatalities for every 100,000 people. Nationwide, 301 deaths have been attributed to the virus per 100,000 people.
The higher than average per capita COVID-19 death rate across the metro area is being driven by one area in particular.
The broader Youngstown metro area comprises three counties or county equivalents -- and of them, Mahoning County has had the most COVID-19 fatalities per capita. So far, the per capita coronavirus death rate in Mahoning County stands at 469 for every 100,000 people.
Though it has the highest per capita death rate in the Youngstown-Warren-Boardman metro area, Mahoning County ranks among the middle 50% of all U.S. counties or county equivalents by COVID-19 death rate per capita.
All COVID-19 data used in this story are current as of April 27, 2022.
These are all the counties in Ohio where COVID-19 is slowing (and where it's still getting worse).

ISTANBUL, May 1 (Reuters) – Turkish riot police detained dozens of protesters trying to reach Istanbul’s main Taksim Square for May Day demonstrations against economic hardship caused by raging inflation.
The Istanbul governor’s office had allowed May Day celebrations to be held in another district and deemed gatherings in all other locations as unauthorised and illegal.
A Reuters journalist saw riot police brawling with and handcuffing protesters, images of which were shown on television by domestic broadcasters.
Police also detained 30 people in central Besiktas and 22 others in Sisli districts, the Demiroren News Agency reported.
A statement from the Istanbul governor’s office on Sunday said that 164 protesters had been detained across the city for “attempting to hold illegal demonstrations”.
Marches led by workers and unions are held on May 1 every year as part of International Labour Day celebrations in many countries.
Turkey’s annual inflation rate is expected to rise to 68% in April, driven higher by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and rising commodity prices, receding only slightly by the end of the year, a Reuters poll showed on Thursday.
The soaring inflation and the economic hardship it causes were cited in May Day statements from several groups.
“Our main theme this year had to be cost of living,” the head of the Confederation of Turkish Labor Unions (Turk-Is), Ergun Atalay, said as he placed a wreath in Taksim Square and demanded that minimum wages be adjusted monthly to reflect rising prices.
“Inflation is announced at the beginning of each month. The inflation rate should be added to wages every month,” he said.
