Singaporean dancer to portray Queen at the official Platinum Jubilee pageant
The Queen will be portrayed by a Singaporean woman at the official Platinum Jubilee pageant to reflect the diversity of Britain and the Commonwealth.
Janice Ho, 22, a third-year student at the London Contemporary Dance School, has been chosen to represent the Queen as she made the transition from princess to monarch upon the death of her father.
Organisers of the event said that they were inspired by the colour-blind casting decisions used by the period drama Bridgerton, which uses actors from diverse backgrounds to play characters that were white in the novels on which the series is based.
Ho, whose native Singapore is part of the Commonwealth, will perform with a 6.5m (21ft) tall dragon puppet for a sequence on the Mall in | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/singaporean-dancer-to-portray-queen-at-the-official-platinum-jubilee-pageant-nqpftk8t9 | 2022-05-02T01:16:18Z | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/singaporean-dancer-to-portray-queen-at-the-official-platinum-jubilee-pageant-nqpftk8t9 | true | null |

Fiji Airways booking reaching pre-COVID level
May 2, 2022 12:52 pm
Fiji Airways Chief Executive, Andre Viljoen confirms they continue to see a weekly increase in bookings through the national airlines.
Viljoen adds the bookings recorded so far are almost reaching pre-COVID levels.
He says many visitors from Australia, New Zealand, and the USA are taking advantage of Fiji’s opening.
“We are only six percent behind the bookings that we had for the same period in 2019 and that period is from April to September this year.”
Viljoen says the removal of the pre-arrival negative COVID-19 test is a further boost for tourists wanting to visit our shores.
Most of the hotels and resorts in the Western Division are slowly returning to their normal buzz, creating more opportunities for those dependent on the tourism sector. | https://www.fbcnews.com.fj/news/fiji-airways-booking-reaching-pre-covid-level/ | 2022-05-02T01:30:01Z | https://www.fbcnews.com.fj/news/fiji-airways-booking-reaching-pre-covid-level/ | true | null |

Angry locals have slammed plans for a new housing estate on the edge of Yeovil amid the prospect of more than 1,000 new homes coming to the area. The fury surrounds proposals recently submitted to the local council seeking permission to build a new 252-home estate off Mudford Road.
This latest proposal would be situated adjacent to another planned 750-home project off Lyde Road. The Lyde Road development was given the green light by the local council in 2019, meaning the north east of Yeovil could be welcoming more than 1,000 new homes in the coming years.
The recently submitted planning application for the 22.4 hectare 252-home Mudford Road development had received 22 official public comments at the time of publication, with all 22 objecting to the proposals. Objectors believe the plans would lead to a big increase in traffic with local roads already "very busy at peak times".
READ MORE:Yeovil named among six 'UK hotspots for home-sellers'
They have objected to the proposals due to the location, which is outside the council's "Local Plan", and are worried about the strain they believe it would put on local services. Objectors have also commented on the ecological and environmental impact of the planned development on the countryside.
A number have raised concerns about what they deem would be a spoiling of the view across Somerset and towards Glastonbury Tor from the road and properties on Mudford Road. There have also been fears raised that an approval of this development might lead to other neighbouring landowners "piggybacking" off the plans, with one local fearing Yeovil could eventually merge with the villages of Yeovil Marsh and Mudford as the countryside between the A37 and the A359 to the north of the town is "infilled" with housing.
Furious residents blast 252-home estate plans
Valerie Cooper, of Mudford Hill, Yeovil, wrote: "Traffic on Mudford Road, the A359 and Lyde Road is already heavy and speed limits are often exceeded. Horrific accidents have occurred at the junction of Lyde Road and Mudford Road - one of which is commemorated by a plaque at the top of Mudford Hill.
"I am frequently stopped by drivers (including the police) concerned about my safety as I walk home from the bus stop in Runnymede Road. In addition, this development would increase stress on existing health and education services which are already under considerable strain."
Mr Beavis Allen, also of Mudford Hill believes the plans would "vastly increase congestion and pollution on an already dangerous A359 as most employment and retail is to the south" adding that he believes "the town centre needs to be regenerated before consideration is given to out-of-town developments".
Claire Morgan, of Mudford Road, Yeovil, echoed the traffic concerns of others and also wrote: "The local NHS have already raised concerns with the GP surgery being 421 over capacity. The existing infrastructure including GPs, hospitals, schools etc are already struggling to cope and I cannot see that the plans include any new facilities to assist."
James Legg of Mudford Road, Yeovil, wrote: "While I understand 'no-one has a right to a view' in legal terms, it does not mean that the loss of our view is irrelevant to planning. The enjoyment of this view is an important part to many residents and public who live and commute to the north of Yeovil, and its loss will have an adverse impact on the residential and visual amenity of our neighbourhood."
Edward Urry, of Mudford Road, Yeovil, wrote: "This has been a long-established significant gap with views out to Glastonbury Tor, it is an important gap to the open countryside on the edge of Yeovil and links the countryside to the existing built form. The proposed development will result in an unacceptable encroachment of development into the open countryside and adversely affect the character of the 'Yeovil Scarplands' which is a national character area listed by Natural England (Area Profile 140)."
David Adams, of Mudford Road, Yeovil, wrote: "It would constitute overdevelopment and an unacceptable expansion into open countryside and the loss of good agricultural land. The development would have a serious negative visual impact on the Yeovil North Escarpment. The detrimental effects far outweigh any benefits that an additional 250 accommodation units would bring to the town.
"I consider this application to be the start of a plan to infill the area bounded by the A359, Combe Street Lane and the A37 Ilchester Road eventually incorporating Yeovil Marsh and Mudford. I suspect that there are a number of other land owners or developers excitedly awaiting a positive outcome of this application."
Thomas Spencer, of Stone Lane, Yeovil, also echoed these fears of further development in the area, writing: "If this proposal is allowed to be passed, the owners of neighbouring fields will no doubt attempt to piggyback off of this approval and request planning permission. This would further increase the size of any estate built."
What are the Mudford Road plans?
The planning application has been submitted to South Somerset District Council by Yeovil LVA LLP seeking outline planning permission to build a 252-dwelling development featuring a public open space with community orchard and village green at Mudford Road. The application site boundary covers 22.4 hectares across three agricultural fields currently divided by hedgerows and is situated next to a sewage works.
The proposed development would feature direct access to the adjoining Mudford Road (A359) from its south eastern edge. Planning documents state the proposed estate would consist of "high quality sustainable new homes".
A planning document reads: "The vision for the proposed development seeks to create a strong green infrastructure that provides a framework and structure for a new neighbourhood. The proposal looks to build on the distinct character and qualities of the surrounding landscape providing a well structured and green residential environment.
"Overall the illustrative layout has been designed to accommodate a variety of housing types responding to local need. A mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes on generous tree-lined streets.
"Three-storey apartment buildings are also proposed. These look to complement the existing built context of Yeovil and the surrounding locality.
"Generous amounts of open space form the key attribute of the new neighbourhood with over 60 per cent of the site provided as public open space. A number of habitats are proposed including woodland, wetland, grassland and orchards."
The documents add: "The proposal will see woodland planting along the western edge and a further woodland buffer to the east. There will be open space to the north within the sewage works offset. The built form of the development has been pulled back in the northern part of the site to accommodate a "cordon sanitaire" of a minimum of 250m due to the adjacent sewage works.
"35 per cent affordable housing will be delivered on site (therefore up to 88 dwellings). This will be split into 80 per cent social rented properties (equating to 70 based on 252 homes being delivered) and 20 per cent other affordable tenures, likely to be shared ownership (up to 18 homes).
"Overall the plan shows that a residential scheme can be developed on the site that integrates with the local area. It will contribute positively to delivering housing in the wider district in a sustainable location without any demonstrable adverse environmental impacts."
South Somerset District Council will consider the proposal over the coming months. | https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerset-news/angry-locals-slam-prospect-more-7007069 | 2022-05-02T01:33:03Z | https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerset-news/angry-locals-slam-prospect-more-7007069 | true | 1 |
Oil tax reduction to increase from 20% to 30%

Oil tax reduction to increase from 20% to 30%.
May. 02, 2022 08:01.
by Teuk-Gyo Koo kootg@donga.com.
Effective from Sunday, the extent of oil tax reduction will be expanded from 20% to 30%, which means that consumers will benefit by paying 83 won less per liter. It will take one to two weeks for the price reduction to be reflected across oil pumps nationwide, but the chance of international oil prices rising again may offset the impact of the reduction.
According to the Ministry of Economy and Finance, oil tax reduction will be in effect by the end of July, bringing down gasoline prices and diesel prices by 83 won and 53 won per liter, respectively. The government had reduced oil tax by 20% from Nov. 12 last year when international oil prices soared.
Oil tax reduction had been originally planned to expire on Saturday, but the plan was extended with further reduction when international oil prices exceeded 100 dollars per barrel with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The reduction translates into gas budget reduction of 10,000 won per month for a consumer that drives 40 kilometers daily on a gasoline car (with fuel efficiency of 10 kilometers per liter).
Government-operated gas stations and the four major private oil brands will be reflecting the additional reduction on sales prices. According to Opinet, run by the Korea National Oil Corporation, the average price of gasoline sold at gas stations across the nation as of Sunday dropped by 18.55 won to 1,956.22 won per liter. The reduction offset the increase in oil prices, which had been occurring for seven consecutive days. The price reflection for other gas stations will take effect after one or two weeks, as they consume remaining oil stock on hand.
Some say that the offset may not be impactful to consumers if international oil prices rise again. The price of Dubai crude fell briefly under 100 dollars per barrel on April 26 but climbed back to 105.37 dollars on April 29.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Yadiel Hernandez drove in a career-high five runs with three hits as the Washington Nationals beat the San Francisco Giants 11-5 on Sunday.
Juan Soto also had three hits and scored three times for the Nationals. Washington’s Lucius Fox got his first two hits in the majors after beginning his career 0 for 20.
The Nationals had lost eight straight and were struggling offensively before taking two of three at Oracle Park while scoring 29 runs.
“The biggest thing is pitch selection,” Hernandez said through an interpreter. “We had a meeting as a team that we were swinging at very bad pitches in general. The team focused more this weekend and we had better pitch selection and the results were there.”
Josiah Gray (3-2) allowed one hit in six innings, working around four walks while striking out three. The right-hander, part of the trade that sent Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to the Dodgers at the deadline last season, didn’t allow a hit until Jason Krizan’s two-out single in the fifth.
“Every time he’s out there he’s getting better, he’s getting a little bit more confidence,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. “You’re only seeing the beginning of what he really can do.”
Hernandez, who had seven RBIs through Washington’s first 23 games, hit a two-run single in the first inning when the Nationals scored five runs – four unearned – and took advantage of a costly error and Alex Cobb’s wildness.
After the Giants scored five times off Washington’s bullpen in the seventh to cut the Nationals lead to 8-5, Hernandez lined a three-run double off Jake McGee in the eighth.
“It could have been just been one run, two runs,” Hernandez said. “It gave us momentum on our side and we were able to exhale a little bit after that.”
Cobb (1-1), who was activated off the injured list before the game, couldn’t get on track. He allowed Hernandez’s single, walked three of the next five and was called for a balk with the bases loaded.
Mike Ford, claimed by the Giants off waivers Saturday after being designated for assignment by the Mariners, had a two-run single in the seventh.
FOX’S MOMENT
Fox’s big day came fittingly at San Francisco’s waterfront ballpark. The switch-hitting shortstop was originally signed by the Giants as an international free agent in 2015 and was given a $6 million bonus.
“This is where it all started,” Fox said. “Signing day I came and watched the Giants play (here). To actually get that first hit in the Giants stadium is special. I had that feeling in my mind that I was going to do something special today.”
MAKING MEMORIES
Krizan’s single off Gray was the first of his career and came in front of his wife and young child, who were in the stands. The rookie outfielder was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas when the Giants placed first baseman Brandon Belt on the COVID-19 list.
GLOVE WORK
Nationals third baseman Maikel Franco took a hit away from Wilmer Flores in the first inning when he chased a grounder into foul territory, leaped and made a strong throw back across his body to first baseman Josh Bell.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Nationals: Stephen Strasburg and Joe Ross will both face hitters this week at the team’s facilities in West Palm Beach, Florida, an important step in the rehabilitation for both right-handers. Strasburg, who has made seven starts since signing a $245 million, seven-year contract after being the World Series MVP in 2019, is trying to work his way back from thoracic outlet surgery. Ross underwent surgery to remove bone spurs in his right elbow in March.
Giants: Cobb missed 12 games with an adductor strain. RHP Kervin Castro was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento to make room.
UP NEXT
Nationals: RHP Erick Fedde (1-2, 6.00 ERA) starts against the Rockies for the first time since 2018 in the opener of a three-game series in Colorado on Tuesday.
Giants: Carlos Rodón (3-0, 1.17) faces the Dodgers and Julio Urías (1-1, 2.50) in a matchup of left-handers Tuesday in Los Angeles.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews the weekend's TV: Channel 4 doesn't come cheaper than this peak-time flatpack flop
The Great House Giveaway
Our Changing Planet
The promised sell-off of Channel 4 can't come too soon. Britain's second state-owned broadcaster is in desperate need of privatisation — and if you doubted it, The Great House Giveaway (C4) supplies final proof.
This property makeover show is a straight rip-off of BBC1's long-running daytime schedule-filler, Homes Under The Hammer.
A house is bought at auction, DIY builders and decorators renovate then sell it, and at the end of the episode we count up their profit.
Presenter Simon O'Brien buys a run-down house at auction on The Great House Giveaway
The C4 version, which shifts to a teatime slot all this week, isn't merely unoriginal. It's so penny-pinching, it almost pays for itself.
Presenter Simon O'Brien buys a run-down house at auction — this one was a derelict three-bed terrace in Stafford, with wallpaper hanging off in strips and ivy growing through the broken windows. He shelled out £118,000.
Simon handed the keys to paramedic Sarah, 52, living in a rented property with partner Mark, and 24-year-old Paige, who was still at home with Mum. The women hadn't met before: they were left to get on with the repairs, boosted by a £12,000 loan from Simon.
We watched them knocking through walls, wrestling with flatpacks and boarding over the ceilings — though it looked as if Mark was doing most of the heavy work.When it came to the sale six months later, Paige and Sarah had to pay back every penny — as well as covering the cost of borrowing, taxes, estate agent fees and legal bills.
Channel 4 didn't pay for so much as a tin of paint. Telly doesn't come cheaper than that.
There's a place for low-budget property shows, but that place is Freeview stations such as HGTV (the HG stands for Home and Garden). A major broadcaster ought to have much greater ambitions.
Television is no longer a cheapskate medium. Online streaming giants such as Disney+ and Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV+ have transformed the genre.
If this is the best C4 can do at peak time on the Sunday of a Bank Holiday weekend, the channel's executives should have the decency to admit they have failed.
Whoever buys C4 — expected to be one of those on-demand video behemoths — is likely to have hundreds of millions of pounds to invest, in return for taking the channel global.
After the sell-off, there should be no more primetime hours spent watching people assembling a flatpack kitchen.
If C4 viewers can expect future riches, wildlife presenter Liz Bonnin was a big winner too on Our Changing Planet (BBC1).
'You've just won the lottery!' a scientist yelled at her on a boat off the California coast.
Liz didn't collect millions of dollars but she couldn't have looked more thrilled. A great white shark had just leapt out of the water, yards from camera.
This behaviour is rare in adult sharks. But Liz was looking at a juvenile great white once unknown in the waters off Santa Barbara. Ocean warming means that within a few years, sharks may start breeding as far north as the Alaska coastline — playing havoc with the ecosystems.
With orphaned elephants, and a jaguar stalking the Pantanal wetlands of South America, this was a far more exciting episode than last week's opener.
Full marks to Ade Adepitan at the Sheldrake Wildlife Trust in Kenya. He tried valiantly to stick to his script without laughing, while a cheeky little Nelly kept bumping his wheelchair.
There hasn't been a naughtier elephant since one called Lulu flooded the Blue Peter studio floor and trod on John Noakes's foot, half a century ago. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10773809/CHRISTOPHER-STEVENS-TV-Channel-4-doesnt-come-cheaper-peak-time-flatpack-flop.html | 2022-05-02T01:44:43Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10773809/CHRISTOPHER-STEVENS-TV-Channel-4-doesnt-come-cheaper-peak-time-flatpack-flop.html | true | 4 |
Residents Ethan and David gave architect Anne Barrett of 30E design one directive when renovating their attic space into a master suite: to make it feel like a refuge, their own private boutique hotel. Although an adult retreat was impossible after their children, Marly and Yandel, adopted it, the resulting colorful design is a true getaway.

The U.S. Marshals Service is offering up to $10,000 for information leading to the capture of Casey White, an Alabama inmate charged with two counts of capital murder who disappeared from custody on Friday.
Also missing is Vicky White, the Lauderdale County assistant director of corrections, who had told staff she was transporting Casey White to the local courthouse for a mental health evaluation before the two disappeared.
Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said no court appearance was scheduled, according to AL.com.
Officials say Casey White and Vicky White are not related.
"Casey White is believed to be a serious threat to the corrections officer and the public," U.S. Marshal Marty Keely said in a statement. "Do not attempt to apprehend this fugitive."
The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post on Friday that the vehicle the pair used to leave the detention center was located in a local shopping center parking lot.
Casey White, 38, was charged with two counts of capital murder in the fatal stabbing of 59-year-old Connie Ridgeway after he confessed to the killing.
He had already been serving time for what officials described as a "crime spree" in 2015 that included home invasion, carjacking and a police chase.
Officials say anyone with information about the disappearance of Casey White and Vicky White should contact law enforcement or make an anonymous tip to the U.S. Marshals Service.

Anthony Albanese has pledged a Labor government would make gender pay equity an objective of the Fair Work Act and strengthen the Fair Work Commission’s powers to order pay rises for workers in low paid industries dominated by women.
The gender equity promise was one of five initiatives in the opposition leader’s policy speech, delivered to an audience of the Labor faithful in Perth on Sunday.
Paying tribute to care worker’s efforts in the pandemic, Albanese said they were the “arteries of our nation” and must be given “the respect and the investment they deserve”.
A Labor government would set up a care and communities sector expert panel and a pay equity expert panel to improve expertise within the commission.
Two former prime minsters, Paul Keating and Kevin Rudd, were at the launch, and Albanese was introduced by Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan. Newly-elected South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas was also in the audience.
Education spokeswoman Tanya Plibersek, a very popular Labor figure, was missing from the launch, amid commentary in recent days that she has not been prominent during the campaign. Albanese said earlier in the weekend that Plibersek would be missing because she was representing him at Sunday’s May Day rally in Sydney.
Albanese – who has just emerged from a bout of COVID – told his audience that as prime minister he would want to “work with all premiers, regardless of which party they are from. I want to bring all the states together and get things done for the whole country.”
In other announcements, Albanese said Labor would build more electric vehicle charging stations across Australia, reduce pharmaceutical charges, make it easier for people to purchase houses by having the government take partial equity in them, and invest $1 billion in a fund for value-adding to resources.
He said building more electric vehicle charging stations would close the gaps in the network.
“That means you’ll be able to drive an electric vehicle across the country. Adelaide to Perth, Brisbane to Mount Isa.
“Together with Labor’s already announced electric vehicle discount, we’ll make it easier and cheaper for your next car to be electric.
“Imagine a future where you don’t have to worry about petrol bills”.
On pharmaceuticals, Albanese said Labor would reduce the cost of medication on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) by $12.50, making it cheaper for general patients. This would mean the maximum people paid for a PBS script would be $30, a reduction of 29%.
Someone taking one medication a month would save $150 a year. Labor’s changes to the PBS would start on January 1 next year.
The government has also just announced also a cut in the cost of medical scripts – by $10 a script.
Under Labor’s “help to buy” housing initiative, the federal government would provide an equity contribution for 10,000 aspiring home owners annually. The scheme would be available for low and middle income earners.
“If you have saved 2% of you deposit, we will contribute up to 40% of the purchase price of a new home or 30% for an existing home”, Albanese said.
He said the plan “will assist Australians to buy a home with a smaller deposit, smaller mortgage and smaller mortgage repayments.
“An Australian Labor government will help you achieve the great Australian dream of homeownership”.
Albanese also announced that as part of Labor’s proposed national reconstruction fund it would invest $1 billion in developing value-adding products from the nation’s resources.
“We will take resources like lithium and nickel – essential elements of the batteries that will power the vehicles of the future – and instead of shipping them to another country to make batteries, we’ll have what we need to make them right here”.
“We’ll bring manufacturing back home”.
Urging Australians to “vote for a better future”, Albanese said: “As your prime minister I won’t run away from responsibility. I won’t treat every crisis as a chance to blame someone else.
“I will show up, I will step up, I will bring people together. I will lead with integrity and treat you with respect”

Is it hot in here, or is it just Venus in Aries? On 2nd May, the Planet of Love will enter the bold and spontaneous sign of the ram where it'll stay until the 28th. For the next month, our love lives will go from zero to 100 — we'll fired up and flirty — and even though Venus is in its fall in Aries, the vibes are still immaculate.
Since Aries is the very first sign of the zodiac, Leslie Hale, psychic astrologer at Keen.com, says that this transit offers us a fresh start in relationships, money, and determining where our true values really lie. "We will yearn for new experiences and desire to be more spontaneous in terms of our social lives and those we may be interested in," she says. "Often, this transit brings out a longing for new and exciting adventures and experiences."

This transit packs a punch — and brings the heat. "When the Goddess Planet moves into the impulsive and action-oriented sign of Aries, we all may feel a deep desire to initiate something in the bedroom and the boardroom," says Madi Murphy, co-founder of the CosmicRx. "Venus in Aries encourages us to take any dreams or fantasies you may have stirred up during Venus in Pisces and put them in motion." Every dream you've had — sexual or serious — is plausible now. Now's the time to shed your insecurities and assert yourself.
Venus's favourite signs to be in are Pisces and Taurus — which are the two zodiac signs Aries happens to be smack dab in the middle of. Because of this, Narayana Montúfar, senior astrologer for Astrology.com and author of Moon Signs: Unlock Your Inner Luminary Power, says that Venus in Aries is a time of transition in our closest relationships. "During the time Venus was in Pisces, it dissolved the boundaries between us so we could reach new levels of depth and connection," she says. "When Venus is in Taurus, we will find ourselves on more solid ground within our most important connections." Now, Montúfar says that Venus in Aries works as a rite of passage — certain fires may have to be addressed or put out before we can move on to the next transit.
Once they're addressed, we can wholeheartedly say on to the next — and mean it. "A significant influence comes with this transit inspiring us to move forward and stop dwelling over our past," says Ivana Naskova, astrologer at Nebula. "This transit is excellent for those who have been through a breakup and need closure in order to move forward." Venus in Aries is here to help us heal and launch us into the future — in other words, good riddance!

Aries likes to get shit done, and when Venus is involved that energy takes over our love lives. "This planetary position makes us work hard for love and affection, instead of indulging carefree in romantic sentiments," says Lisa Stardust, astrologer and author of The Love Deck. We're all about the chase right now, so if you're not working hard in love for the next month, you may feel frustrated. Our advice? If you're single, shoot your shot. Send that DM, leave your number with the waiter, or reach out to that person you've been crushing on. For those in partnerships, take initiative and plan an out-of-the-ordinary date night or a romantic surprise — you'll be rewarded in love and affection.
Montúfar says to be especially careful from 21st to 28th May when Venus forms a square with Pluto in Capricorn. "This will be the most intense time for Venus in Aries, when we must watch out for manipulations and intensity when following our desires and interacting with others," says Montúfar. "This is when control and power issue may arise, but if we manage to control our anger, we will reach a new level of understanding within our most important bonds."
Wild, intense, and hot — for the next month, we're in for quite a ride. Just remember to buckle up. | https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/2022/05/10963469/venus-in-aries-may-2022-meaning-effects | 2022-05-02T02:17:53Z | https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/2022/05/10963469/venus-in-aries-may-2022-meaning-effects | true | 4 |
After two major studies link hormone replacement therapy to serious health risks like heart disease and breast cancer, millions of menopausal women -- and their doctors -- are reconsidering their options. Millions of those women are now reconsidering their use of hormone replacement pills. And doctors around the country are trying to figure out what to tell them.

Clay was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
Clay made five relief appearances after being recalled April 20, and he logged an 11.25 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in four innings. The southpaw will head back to the minors since the Nationals need to trim their active roster to 26 players by Monday but should be in the mix to provide bullpen depth later in the year. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/nationals-sam-clay-optioned-to-triple-a-821410/ | 2022-05-02T02:27:07Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/nationals-sam-clay-optioned-to-triple-a-821410/ | true | null |

POLITICS in the North is on the cusp of history on Thursday if the latest polling is anything to go by.
For the first time in 100 years, an election in the North may return a nationalist majority.
Sinn Féin looks likely to become the largest party in Stormont in an election that could see Michelle O’Neill, the party’s leader in the North, become first minister. The latest opinion poll puts Sinn Féin on 26%, seven points ahead of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) on 19%.
The party seems unstoppable in the Republic too, continuing to build on their success in the election of February 2020, and seemingly unstoppable, despite a number of trip-ups since then.
The possibility of Sinn Féin running a government on both sides of the border is a real one and would arguably give Sinn Féin the mandate to call for a border poll.
The party’s ultimate goal is to reunify the country and if it is voted in on both sides of the border, it can argue that the polling reflects the public feels the same.
The party is an all-island one and has been accused of having different policies north and south on a number of matters. The Irish Examiner studied the main policy areas where Sinn Féin has been accused of poetry in the South and prose in the North.
Housing could be the issue that wins Sinn Féin the election on both sides of the border. However, the party goes about it in different ways north and south.
The party’s policies in both jurisdictions are mostly identical in their most recent manifestos: Further legislation to protect
private renters from unfair rents, improve housing standards, and ending unfair letting fees.
However, there are subtle but important differences.
In their Northern manifesto, released this month, the party says it would “introduce regulations to deliver fair rents including reducing or freezing rents” whereas in the south, the manifesto claimed a Sinn Féin government would “reduce and freeze rents for three years”.
Sinn Féin holds the housing portfolio in Northern Ireland, with Deirdre Hargey currently minister for communities.
Its first time holding the office, Sinn Féin’s housing plan was dubbed “the biggest shakeup of the housing system for over 50 years” and was well received by most of Stormont.
So far, Hargey has introduced legislation, for the duration of the pandemic, to protect private renters which means landlords now have to give tenants a 12-week notice to quit period before seeking a court order to evict and has also limited the amount a landlord can charge for a deposit to no more than one month’s rent.
At local council level, councillors for Sinn Féin have voted very differently. The party chairs and is the largest party on Belfast City Council’s planning committee. The party has supported student blocks in the city, despite objections from residents in some instances, while Belfast has seen a regeneration in the last decade with new hotels and office blocks springing up at a breakneck speed.
Belfast, unlike Dublin, has no height restriction on its buildings, and Sinn Féin councillors have voted on and approved a number of buildings which would never have seen the light of day in Dublin city.
Of the five tallest buildings on the island of Ireland, four are in Belfast and the city has twice as many buildings over 15 floors than its southern counterpart.
Build-to-rent is another area where the party seems to differ north and south.
Belfast City Council, where Sinn Féin is the largest party, with 18 seats, approved the largest build-to-rent development to date in the city this month — a £117m (€140m) apartment complex across three blocks in the Titanic Quarter.
Just 20% of the 778 apartments will be housing association-managed, with the rest marketed to investors.
Among recent build-to-rent approvals is a 19-storey block which Sinn Féin councillors voted for, next to a busy motorway where residents are looking out at a railway bridge, car parking, and an M3 slip road.
Another build-to-rent development in the city, on the Ormeau Rd, markets two-bedroom apartments for £1,500 a month, while the average rent in Northern Ireland is £718 per month.
In the Republic, the party has been averse to the build-to-rent model.
In January this year, Eoin O’Broin said: “Some parts of [Dublin] are witnessing planning applications which consist solely of build-to-rent dwellings. These are built of a lower standard than build-to-buy and are far too expensive for most ordinary workers to rent.
“Of course, delivering build-to-rent apartments is an ideal project for developers due to these lower standards and the higher profit margins.”
The Taoiseach once accused Sinn Féin of making an “each-way bet” on climate change due to the party’s stance on the carbon tax.
A LucidTalk poll in conjunction with the Belfast Telegraph surveyed attitudes to the environment in the North and found that 93% of Sinn Féin voters were concerned about the climate emergency and a majority of the party’s voters were in favour of additional carbon tax to tackle the issue, with 53% willing to pay for environmental initiatives.
The party is managing a balancing act between climate and farmers on both sides of the border. In the north, Sinn Féin backed a Green Party bill which commits to net-zero emissions by 2045.
The executive has yet to agree its first climate action plan in line with the bill next year so it remains to be seen if they can maintain north-south consistency.
DUP minister Edwin Poots said the party was “abandoning the farmers who are living in the hills and the uplands of Northern Ireland” after a report on the bill found that the herd numbers for farms across Northern Ireland would significantly reduce if the bill were to be actioned.
Sinn Féin MLA Philip McGuigan rejected the assertion that Sinn Féin held a different policy in the Republic: “Across this island Sinn Féin speak with one voice.”
Sinn Féin’s manifesto for the elections on Thursday claims the party “was to the fore in delivering climate legislation for the north that is ambitious, fair and deliverable…in line with the rest of Ireland.”
The literature also notes the need to develop our abundant solar, tidal, and onshore and offshore wind resources across the island and develop the potential of green hydrogen.
In the south, a Sinn Féin private members’ bill on wind turbines drafted back in 2016 saw the party attempt to make building wind farms more difficult, amid local opposition in the Midlands at the time. The proposed legislation was quickly withdrawn by whip Pádraig MacLochlainn as it appeared to differ from the current policy, and was described by one party source to the Irish Examiner as “shite”.
When asked previously, party president Mary Lou McDonald refused to commit Sinn Féin to a specific figure for emissions cuts in agriculture.
The party is against the Mercosur trade deal with South American countries and says this should be rejected by the
Government rather than taking issue with the size of the national herd.
The party is opposed to carbon tax, with spokesperson Lynn Boylan saying: “Our position on the climate tax is based on evidence ... it’s nothing to do with populism.”
Ms Boylan argued that such taxes have not worked elsewhere in reducing carbon emissions.
There are no such carbon taxes in Northern Ireland.
They have also called for a moratorium on the establishment of new data centres.
“The North is next” read the cardboard sign held aloft by Mary Lou McDonald and Michelle O’Neill at Dublin Castle.
As the passing of the referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment was announced on a sunny day in 2018, Sinn Féin made it clear that changing laws in the other six counties was next on their agenda.
However, with the Assembly collapsed for three years, it took the intervention of the British government to progress and publish details of the new legal framework for abortion services in Northern Ireland which has yet to be fully established.
When the issue of abortion came up in the Stormont Assembly last year later, Sinn Féin abstained in an initial vote, sparking criticism and accusations that the party has been “speaking out of both sides of their mouths”.
During the Assembly debate in March 2021, Sinn Féin spoke out strongly against a DUP bill which sought to amend the law in Northern Ireland to prevent abortions in cases of non-fatal disabilities, including Down syndrome.
Michelle O’Neill claimed the bill was “the thin end of the wedge” and accused the DUP of attempting “to reopen a debate that has already been had”.
“Women are entitled to have compassionate healthcare,” she said.
But despite the vocal opposition, Sinn Féin members then abstained on the vote, resulting in the bill passing its second stage by 48 votes to 12.
Their actions set social media alight, with even the Derry Girls actress Siobhan McSweeney, who plays Sr Michael in the show, directly tweeting at Sinn Féin: “By abstaining last night you essentially voted with the DUP”.
Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín, who left Sinn Féin due to his own anti-abortion stance, accused the party of “speaking out of both sides of their mouth” on the issue.
Alliance for Choice co-convener Naomi Connor said Sinn Féin has been on “a journey” from a party that was not pro-choice, to one in which is now in favour of providing abortion services.
However, she said that “in the past there has been a lack of clarity as to what that actually means”.
She said Alliance for Choice has met and heavily lobbied members of Sinn Féin who had been willing to listen.
“I do believe that Sinn Féin were influenced and took a more progressive stance,” she added.
Interestingly, the party’s general election manifestos both North and South make no reference to either abortion or termination.
The pre-election document published ahead of the upcoming Assembly election only states that the party “want women to be able to access the safe and legal health services they are entitled to.”
The only reference to abortion services in the 2020 general election manifesto was a commitment to introduce safe access zones.
A different type of border fox became the issue when Sinn Féin was accused of having different approaches on hunting north and south.
The party was forced to defend its position on hunting, after it opposed a bill that would have banned hunting with dogs in Northern Ireland last year.
Many pointed to the fact that party president Mary Lou McDonald had previously indicated that Sinn Féin was against the practice and would vote in favour of a ban at the next opportunity.
The bill aimed to bring Northern Ireland into line with Britain, where hunting wild mammals with dogs is outlawed.
However, Sinn Féin MLAs were among the 45 Assembly members who voted down the bill, prompting calls on the party to clarify whether its position is consistent in both Northern Ireland and the Republic.
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood tweeted: “So Sinn Féin are against fox hunting in the south and for it in the north. Right. What happens if a fox runs across the border?”
In a statement, Sinn Féin’s
agriculture spokesperson in the North, Declan McAleer, said his party “opposes the unnecessary infliction of cruelty to animals”.
TD Matt Carthy also defended the move stating that the bill had been a “barrister’s dream, to put it mildly” before adding that “bans in these instances don’t work, what we need to do is work with rural communities, in particular, to ensure that we have regulations in place”.
He said there are “different reasons for hunting with dogs, including protection of biodiversity, including other animal welfare issues,” adding that hunting can be used as a form of “pest control”.
Explaining how Sinn Féin policy is arrived at, Mr Carthy told RTÉ radio: “There is no other political party in which the members collectively, including elected representatives and leadership, set political policies.”
It prompted PBP-Solidarity TD Paul Murphy to tell the Dáil that Sinn Féin’s “attempt to ride two horses at once reached its zenith with Deputy Carthy’s appearance on the radio where he attempted to say that Sinn Féin was opposed to a ban on fox hunting because of biodiversity, which makes no sense whatsoever”.
He added that animal rights campaigners — and members within Sinn Féin who support a ban on hare coursing — should put pressure on the party leadership and tell them not to be on the wrong side of history on this issue.
Peter Shirlow, a professor at the Institute of Irish Studies, says that while many unionists fear a united Ireland, a win for Sinn Féin will be a “wake-up call” for unionism for a different reason.
He said his research over the past decade showed the growth of a secular unionism among people within the Protestant and Catholic heritages who want to stay in the UK but who will not use their vote “just to keep the other side out”.
“It might be a unionist electoral crisis, but not a constitutional crisis,” he said. “It will be the death throes of Protestant unionism, a rejection, not of the constitutional position but people saying ‘enough, we support the union, but we won’t vote for homophobes, we won’t vote for misogynists, we won’t vote for this never-ending crisis politics’.
“It doesn’t seem that people are seeing this as a big opportunity for nationalism either. Sinn Féin is Sinn Féin but parties like the SDLP are flat as a pancake,” he says.
One thing parties have to get away from, and particularly unionist parties, “is the misnomer that rights are concessions” to the other side, he says.
His tracker panel found that two thirds of nationalists believed that if “devolved politics worked better, people would focus less on the constitutional question” of whether the North was part of the UK or Ireland.

LANGFORD, Canada (AP) — Lily Dick finished off a late, long-range attacking raid as Australia rallied to beat New Zealand 21-17 in the final of the World Rugby Sevens Series women’s event in Canada on Sunday and continue its dominance of the season.
The Australian women's team has won four of the five events to date and already has enough points to secure the 2022 women’s series.
Tokyo Olympics champion New Zealand was playing its first tournament of the season after skipping the first four events because of COVID-19 travel restrictions.
New Zealand led 17-14 late in the final but 2016 Olympic champion Australia attacked from deep in its own territory and kept the ball alive long enough for Dick to duck under a cover tackle and step over another defender on a 20-yard run to the tryline.
“It was all about being composed at the end," Dick said. “We knew we just needed one try and thankfully it came, this team never gives up.”
Australia opened the final with a try to Maddison Levi in the second minute but New Zealand hit back to lead 10-7 at the break after Sarah Hirini set up a try for Alena Saili and scored a try herself.
Australia went ahead when Charlotte Caslick crossed early in the second half but New Zealand regained the lead after a strong run from Michaela Blyde that was converted by Tyla Nathan-Wong, setting up a tense last two minutes.
“That was a tough final,” Caslick said. "It is great to have New Zealand back on the circuit, but we wanted this so much and it got us over the line.”
Ireland beat France 22-14 in the third-place playoff, with Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe crossing for four tries, and Canada edged the U.S. 12-7 for fifth.

Former Knoxville mayor remembers planning World’s Fair 40 years ago
Local restaurant Petro’s also started at the World’s Fair.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - The World’s Fair Park was used mainly for special events and people visiting in 2022. All of the events would never be as big as the World’s Fair.
Back in 1982, Ronald Reagan was just elected president and visited the fair, Lamar Alexander was Tennessee’s Governor, the Sunsphere was just built and Petro’s was just getting started.
“It was literally a Frito bag cut on the side with our special recipe chili in there with the various toppings,” Petro’s co-founder Dale Widmer said.
While this might sound simple now, people raved about this, according to Widmer.
“Over the last two to three weeks of the fair we’d have a two to three hour wait, no embellishments, just to get a Petro,” Widmer said.
The World’s Fair came to Knoxville after city leaders, which included former Mayor Randy Tyree, planned the fair for months.
“We took that as a challenge and we really ended getting a lot of momentum built up utilizing that item against us,” Tyree said.
The city got its momentum after the Wall Street Journal published an article which called Knoxville the Scruffy City. Tyree and other city leaders were able to get 11 million people from across the nation and from 21 different countries.
“It was a perfect storm in a positive way in order to accomplish what we were able to accomplish,” Tyree said.
Millions of people having fond memories including Widmer who helped make his dream a restaurant chain.
“I was introduced and had my first Petro and fell in love with it immediately,” Widmer said.
Former mayor Tyree said unlike other World’s Fairs, Knoxville’s actually brought in money to the city. Petro’s opened its first brick and mortar location three years after the World’s Fair.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand welcomed tourists from the U.S., Canada, Britain, Japan and more than 50 other countries for the first time in more than two years Monday after dropping most of its remaining pandemic border restrictions.
The country has long been renowned for its breathtaking scenery and adventure tourism offerings such as bungy jumping and skiing. Before the spread of COVID-19, more than 3 million tourists visited each year, accounting for 20% of New Zealand’s foreign income and more than 5% of the overall economy.
But international tourism stopped altogether in early 2020 after New Zealand imposed some of the world's toughest border restrictions.
The border rules remained in place as the government at first pursued an elimination strategy and then tried to tightly control the spread of the virus. The spread of omicron and vaccinations of more than 80% of New Zealand's 5 million population prompted the gradual easing of restrictions.
New Zealand reopened to tourists from Australia three weeks ago and on Monday to about 60 visa-waiver countries, including much of Europe. Most tourists from India, China and other non-waiver countries are still not allowed to enter.
Tourists will need to be vaccinated and to test themselves for the virus after arriving.
"Today is a day to celebrate, and is a big moment in our reconnection with the world,” said Tourism Minister Stuart Nash.
At Auckland Airport, flights bringing in tourists began landing from early in the morning, coming in direct from places including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore.
The border reopening will help boost tourism ahead of New Zealand's upcoming ski season. But the real test of how much the tourism industry rebounds will come in December, when the peak summer season begins in the Southern Hemisphere nation. | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/New-Zealand-welcomes-back-tourists-as-pandemic-17140757.php | 2022-05-02T03:44:24Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/New-Zealand-welcomes-back-tourists-as-pandemic-17140757.php | false | 64 |

The Royal Family shares a poem in tribute to the late Prince Philip by the Poet Laureate | the monarchy
The Royal Family have shared a poem in tribute to the late Prince Philip on the first anniversary of his death.
The elegy was penned by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage and shared via official royal social media accounts on Saturday.
Titled The Patriarchs An Elegy, the poem is read by Armitage to piano music and accompanied by a video montage of photographs from the Duke of Edinburgh’s life, including footage from his wedding day and the birth of his children. four children.
First published on the day of his funeral last year, it pays special tribute to his career in the Royal Navy.
It reads: On such an occasion / to presume to praise a man is to make heard / for a whole generation that crew whose survival / has always been the matter of a small miracle, / who landed in crate coracles of oranges, / waged ingenious wars , triumphs at sea finagled / with flaming decoy boats and dodging torpedoes.
Armitage describes the Dukes’ generation as husbands by duty, great-grandfathers from birth, and the last of the poem’s great avuncular magicians, before concluding in the final verse: But for now, an April cold ends/parachute slowly home so by mid afternoon/snow is melted as cobs and thistle.
The Queen who has described Philip as her constant strength and guide will be at Windsor Castle on Saturday and it is understood she will privately mark the first anniversary of her husband’s death.
Philip died in his sleep at his home in Windsor Castle on April 9, 2021. His death was announced by Buckingham Palace just after midday. He was marked by hundreds of tributes from world leaders and dignitaries, as well as the charities he supported.
He became internationally recognized after marrying the Queen over 70 years ago. He died a few months before his 100and birthday.
Philips’ funeral at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle was attended by just 30 mourners due to Covid restrictions. The Queen was pictured sitting alone on the pews wearing a face mask.
The Dean of Windsor, the Very Reverend David Conner, paid tribute to the Duke’s achievements, as well as shortcomings, during a recent service of thanksgiving for his life.
He described Philip as a man of passionate commitment who devoted his intellectual and physical energy to a host of down to earth endeavors.
However, Reverend Conner said the Duke can also be brusque in vigorous conversation, forgetting how intimidating he can be.

New Zealand has welcomed back tourists from the US, Canada, Britain, Japan and more than 50 other countries for the first time in more than two years after dropping most of its remaining pandemic border restrictions.
Before the spread of COVID-19, more than three million tourists visited each year, accounting for 20 per cent of New Zealand's foreign income and more than five per cent of the overall economy.
But international tourism stopped altogether in early 2020 after New Zealand imposed some of the world's toughest border restrictions.
Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >>
The border rules remained in place as the government at first pursued an elimination strategy and then tried to tightly control the spread of the virus.
The spread of Omicron and vaccination of more than 80 per cent of New Zealand's five million population prompted the gradual easing of restrictions.
New Zealand reopened to tourists from Australia three weeks ago and on Monday to about 60 visa-waiver countries, including much of Europe.
Most tourists from India, China and other non-waiver countries are still not allowed to enter.
Visitors must be vaccinated and test themselves for the virus after arriving.
"Today is a day to celebrate, and is a big moment in our reconnection with the world," Tourism Minister Stuart Nash said.
At Auckland Airport, flights bringing in tourists began landing from early in the morning, coming in direct from places including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore.
The border reopening will help boost tourism ahead of New Zealand's upcoming ski season, but the real test of how much the tourism industry rebounds will come when the peak summer season hits in December.

Before the pandemic hit, 3.5 million British tourists visited Greece in 2019 and it remains a holiday favourite now things have opened back up. Brits spent €5billion in a record-busting year, according to the Bank of Greece. Not only this, but when restrictions were at their tightest, one million UK holidaymakers had a trip to Greece.
Consisting of thousands of islands throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas, Greece is a stunning destination which offers an intoxicating mixture of culture and natural beauty. Tourism is set to bounce back with a bang this summer, seeing millions again flock to the nation's crystal clear seas and picturesque beaches.
However, things have changed over the last few years, including what you can and can't do on the shore. So, to avoid trouble with local authorities and your sweet summer holiday turning sour, make sure you know the dos and dont's.

Greece beach laws
In Greece, beaches are considered a public good, meaning any 'private' beach which may be connected to a hotel, must also provide access to non-guests, even if this is through the property. However, once you get there, there are rules to follow.
Camping
Free camping on the beach is not legal, so you cannot just pitch your tent and stay the night. Camping areas will be marked and you will have to pay. If you camp without permission, in non-designated areas, you may be fined anything from €300 to €3,000.
Sunbathing
It might be the perfect weather to get your kit off, but topless sunbathing for women is illegal, though many people still do it and you are unlikely to get a fine. There will be designated areas and specific beaches where nudism is allowed, where it is ok to go topless or naked.
Music
Loud sound systems playing music are prohibited and can be no louder than 50 decibels. This is the equivalent of a quiet conversation or a running refrigerator, so bad news if you were planning a beach party. It is currently unclear what the fine would be for breaking this law. Though back in 2018, a woman was fined almost £500 every time her children made too much noise in her apartment, forcing her to eventually move.
Souvenirs
On some Greek islands, you may face a €900 fine if caught taking pebbles as a souvenir. Lalaria Beach in Skiathos, which can only be reached by boat, has reportedly seen a dramatic change in its landscape due to tourists taking pebbles.
Sun-loungers
By law, sun-loungers need to be at least five metres away from waves but no fine has been earmarked for this offence if broken.
Drinking and smoking
You are free to drink in public areas, providing you are not causing a nuisance. Smoking is a different issue, with some beaches now becoming smoke free as the Greek government looks to reduce the remarkably high smoking rate.
Almost two in five Greeks over the age of 15 smoke daily and 2008 EU anti-smoking legislation is only just now being enforced in indoor spaces. This crackdown has also been felt in outdoor public areas such as beaches. Before lighting up, make sure the beach you are on is not smoke-free.
Dogs
If you bring your dog to Greece, you will be glad to know there are no laws prohibiting dogs from the sandy shores. | https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/travel/greece-beach-laws-tourists-face-23815156 | 2022-05-02T04:20:11Z | https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/travel/greece-beach-laws-tourists-face-23815156 | true | 1 |
GST collections in April touch record high of Rs 1.68 trillion
Revenue collections from the Goods and Revenue Tax touched a record high of Rs 1.68 trillion in April, going past the Rs 1.5 trillion mark for the first time since it was introduced in 2017. Revenues rose by 20 percent from the year earlier and were Rs 250 billion more than March collections.
Why it’s important: Measures taken to ensure compliance have started showing results. The higher collections also show that economic activity has revived in the country.
Gautam Adani lines up $4 billion for investments in healthcare
The conglomerate owned by Gautam Adani is planning massive investments in the healthcare sector and may acquire large hospitals, diagnostic chains, and offline and digital pharmacies, among other assets, to get a foothold in the sector.
Why it’s important: Adani has identified healthcare as a huge opportunity. There are several factors driving expansion in the sector, including low hospital beds per 1,000 persons, growing number of elderly people, a large middle-class population, and a surge in lifestyle diseases.
Auto sales in India impacted due to fresh shortage of chips
India’s automakers have struggled to grow sales in the first month of 2022-23 as a fresh scarcity of semiconductor chips has affected production. A surge of coronavirus infections in China led to lockdowns and shuttered factories, disrupting supply chains.
Why it’s important: The latest disruption increases the risk of a fourth consecutive year of contraction in volumes for automakers. The first two waves of COVID, which had triggered a semiconductor shortage, caused volumes to shrink in the previous three financial years.
Reliance looking to build mega land bank for solar parks
Reliance Industries is looking to build a mega land bank to set up renewable energy parks and projects. A land aggregation exercise is underway to set up solar power projects of 100 gigawatt by 2030.
Why it’s important: Reliance wants to transition from fossil fuels to clean energy and unveiled a Rs 75,000 crore push into clean energy over three years in June last year, which includes setting up big factories to make solar modules.
India must not get trapped in stagflation, says Hindustan Unilever chief
India must ensure that it does not get trapped in stagflation, Hindustan Unilever managing director and chief executive Sanjiv Mehta has said. He urged the government to speed up the frontloading of the Rs 7.5 trillion earmarked in the national budget for capital expenditure.
Why it’s important: As inflation remains high in the country and growth shows early signs of slowdown, stagflation is a real possibility. Private consumption and private capital expenditure need to improve and the government can provide the initial push.
Bodhi Tree to invest Rs 4,500 crore in Allen Career Institute
After Reliance and Viacom18, Bodhi Tree Systems, a platform of James Murdoch's Lupa Systems and Uday Shankar, has announced a $600 million (over Rs 4,500 crore) investment in a strategic partnership with Allen Career Institute to build India's biggest test-prep company. The transaction is expected to close within three months.
Why it’s important: Coaching institutes to prepare students for competitive examinations in India are a rapidly growing business. The test prep firms have expanded their footprint through online classes during the pandemic and look to grow further.
Biocon Biologics may close $3.34 billion Viatris deal in fiscal first quarter
Biocon Biologics can close the transaction of $3.34 billion Viatris' biosimilar business acquisition as early as this quarter, subject to regulatory approvals. In one of the largest outbound acquisitions by an Indian pharmaceutical company, Biocon Biologics in March entered into an agreement to acquire the biosimilars assets of Viatris.
Why it’s important: The acquisition will give Biocon access to Viatris' global commercial infrastructure in developed and emerging markets. Viatris’ global biosimilars business has an estimated revenue of $875 million.
Power shortage hurts sales of frozen foods and medicines
India’s worst power shortage in over six years has been leading to loss of sales momentum of summer products such as ice creams, soft drinks and frozen foods, and medicines in some cases, over the past one week. Household demand is being impacted, and neighbourhood retailers are unable to stock inventories.
Why it’s important: The unusually hot summer has led to high power demand leading to outages. Smaller retailers are understandably refusing to hold inventories of frozen or cold products since they don’t have adequate power backups to take care of long power cuts.
Government may slash import levy on edible oil to cool prices
The central government is considering reducing the cess on edible oil imports to soften a spike in prices following the recent Indonesian ban on shipments of crude palm oil, which account for nearly half of India’s imports of the commodity.
Why it’s important: A rise in the price of edible oil is stoking retail inflation that has impacted household budgets. Prices of edible oil could almost double if alternative sources are not found.
ISMC Analog Fab to invest Rs 22,900 crore to build semiconductor factory

It will be one of India’s first and largest semiconductor fab units under the central government’s Indian Semiconductor Mission.
Why it’s important: The project is expected to generate more than 1,500 direct and 10,000 indirect employment opportunities. The development of ancillary semiconductor ecosystem is expected to have significant multiplier effect. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/current-affairs-trends/morning-scan-all-the-big-stories-to-get-you-started-for-the-day-207-8439291.html/amp | 2022-05-02T04:20:33Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/current-affairs-trends/morning-scan-all-the-big-stories-to-get-you-started-for-the-day-207-8439291.html/amp | false | 2 |

Two converted shipping containers (left) now house offices for Shoup’s design/build firm. “Perhaps the most successful aspect of turning this into a place to live and an office rather than just have this shop space was moving it towards real indoor-outdoor living,” he says. Taya Shoup, a landscape designer, has refined her husband’s vision for the property with a courtyard and plantings.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The first multistate contest of the 2022 midterm election season unfolds on Tuesday, as Ohio voters pick nominees for governor and the U.S. Senate while Indiana voters consider whether their Legislature should become even more conservative.
The races, particularly in Ohio, could provide a fresh window into former President Donald Trump's sway among the party faithful. He has been especially involved in Ohio's Senate primary, which has been marred by Republican divisions along with campaigns for the U.S. House and secretary of state.
For Democrats, a potential threat to incumbent U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown in Cleveland is of keen interest. Brown is locked in a rematch against progressive challenger Nina Turner, a former state senator and surrogate for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaigns. Turner is trying again after losing to Brown in last year's special election.
Voting in Ohio comes against the backdrop of a chaotic and still unresolved redistricting battle.
What to watch as the Ohio and Indiana primaries unfold:
WHO WILL SURVIVE OHIO'S NASTY SENATE PRIMARY?
Seven candidates are on the ballot in Tuesday's Republican faceoff for the coveted open U.S. Senate seat of retiring Republican Rob Portman. They are Trump-endorsed “Hillbilly Elegy” author JD Vance, former Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel, Cleveland investment banker Mike Gibbons, former Ohio Republican Chair Jane Timken, state Sen. Matt Dolan, whose family owns the Cleveland Guardians baseball team, and entrepreneurs Mark Pukita and Neil Patel.
The campaign has featured months of jockeying among top contenders for Trump's endorsement, more than $65 million in TV and radio spending, dozens of debates and candidate forums, and one highly publicized physical confrontation between two candidates.
As Vance rides high on the Trump endorsement, other candidates who campaigned on their loyalty to the former president are hoping that heavy ad spending or a strong ground games can help them win. Dolan is the only candidate who ran as a Portman-like centrist, but Timken landed Portman's endorsement.
Whoever prevails will face the winner of a three-way Democratic primary between 10-term U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, former consumer protection attorney Morgan Harper and Columbus activist and tech exec Traci Johnson.
IS A TRUMP ENDORSEMENT A SLAM-DUNK IN OHIO?
Trump twice won Ohio by more than 8 percentage points, so many viewed getting his nod in the Senate race as critical to winning the crowded Senate primary. Instead, when he finally chose Vance, it divided the state.
That's because Vance opponents, including Mandel, Gibbons and their allies, had aired months of ads highlighting Vance's past anti-Trump statements. Some tea party Republicans protested an April 23 Trump rally featuring Vance, and one conservative group, Ohio Value Voters, urged its supporters to boycott — or boo Vance when he walked on stage. The deep-pocketed Club for Growth, a conservative group backing Mandel, has taken to TV with ads directly attacking Trump for his choice.
Trump also has backed candidates in two Republican congressional primaries: Max Miller, his former White House and campaign aide, in the sprawling new 7th District in northeast Ohio, and Madison Gesiotto Gilbert in the Akron-area 13th District. He also is backing Secretary of State Frank LaRose in his primary against former state Rep. John Adams, a conservative Trump supporter.
WILL A WOMAN BREAK THROUGH IN OHIO'S GUBERNATORIAL RACE?
Democrat Nan Whaley is seeking to be the first woman in Ohio to get a major party’s nomination for governor. The former Dayton mayor is locked in a tight race with ex-Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley, who is endorsed by feminist icon Gloria Steinem.
They see eye-to-eye on most major issues — guns, abortion rights, social justice — but Whaley has repeatedly pointed out that Cranley only recently said he was pro-choice. She also has the backing of the state's top Democrat, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown.
Neither candidate is a household name across Ohio. Both have struggled to draw attention as much of the state is focused on the contentious U.S. Senate race and ongoing redistricting fight.
The big question for first-term Republican Gov. Mike DeWine is just how many conservative voters will punish him for pushing aggressive mandates and shutdowns during the pandemic.
DeWine is widely known from a 40-year career in Ohio politics and in a solid position to win the GOP’s nomination for another four-year term. His two main challengers have tapped into the anger over the governor's COVID-19 policies, but they're likely to split those far-right voters.
DeWine isn't taking any chances, pouring millions into advertising during the weeks leading into the primary. The concern will be whether those same conservative voters who were furious with DeWine will come back to him in November.
WILL CONFUSION OVER OHIO'S PRIMARY CALENDAR AFFECT RESULTS?
A protracted battle over Ohio's congressional and legislative maps has played havoc with the state's 2022 election calendar. For a long time, it looked like the May 3 primary wouldn't go forward amid all the legal wrangling. Then suddenly it did.
Voter advocates, campaigns and political parties have stepped up efforts to get the word out as participation in early voting showed a 40% decline from four years ago.
Tuesday's ballots will not list state legislative races, which are expected to be decided in a second primary later this year. The Ohio Redistricting Commission faces a deadline next week to try for a fifth time to draw district lines that don't represent a partisan gerrymander and can meet constitutional muster. If the panel fails, a federal court has said it will force an Aug. 2 primary using one of the previously invalidated maps.
Congressional races have gone forward using a map that has also been invalidated by the Ohio Supreme Court. Ongoing litigation could result in a new map before 2024 elections.
IS INDIANA’S LEGISLATURE CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH?
More than a dozen Indiana House members are trying to hold off Republican primary challengers who argue that the GOP-dominated Legislature hasn’t been aggressive enough on issues from attempting to ban abortion to overturning COVID-19 restrictions that were ordered by the state’s Republican governor.
Those challengers say they are tapping into frustration among conservative voters and want to push the Legislature further to the right in a state where Republicans control all statewide offices and have had legislative supermajorities for the past decade.
Whether the challengers can defeat incumbents backed by Republican leaders’ multimillion-dollar campaign fund should be answered in Tuesday’s primary.
Republican legislative leaders argue the “no compromise” stances adopted by many challengers aren’t practical and tout the state’s low taxes and unemployment and broad private school voucher program among its conservative successes.
Challengers like Brittany Carroll, a family law attorney running for a central Indiana seat, maintain Indiana lawmakers should be aggressively pushing issues such as the Texas ban on abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy.
“Indiana could be leading in terms of liberty, like Florida, like Texas,” Carroll said.

'You are skating on thin ice': Magistrate's warning as he grants bail
A community corrections worker helped police identify a man on CCTV footage who fled from a petrol station in a stolen car without paying for fuel.
The owner of the stolen car was at his home the night earlier when he found his rear door open, wallet and car keys missing from the kitchen table and his car taken from the front driveway.
The man caught on CCTV driving the stolen car, Cody Renouf, was arrested on April 8, 2022 after other alleged offending and made an application for bail at the Ballarat Magistrates' Court on Friday.
The court heard the 24-year-old allegedly tried to pay for the fuel on September 4, 2021 with different bank cards which were all declined and he said he had to go to the car to try another card before he fled.
Renouf was arrested in April on three outstanding warrants after he was seen as a passenger in a car with false number plates.
Police prosecutor Senior Constable Ben Jones said Renouf attempted to flee police, jumping onto the roof of a bottle shop next door before police caught him after he jumped down and continue to run.
You are skating on thin ice, don't break it.
Magistrate Mark Stratmann
The court heard police searched the car and allegedly found mail in the name of other people, a drivers' licence and cards in other people's name, two car keys, $5000 in notes and methamphetamine.
The car also allegedly contained equipment to steal such as scissors, a box cutter, torches, gloves, a hammer, a crowbar and a screwdriver.
Defence lawyer Robyn Greensill said Renouf could have the support of the a court bail program if released on bail and he had done well on the program in the past.
"He is a young man who had a difficult background," she said.
"He is only 24 now, he is still a very young offender but he is a person who is capable of rehabilitation and wants to rehabilitate.
"He has not used drugs for some time now. I am hoping Your Honour might give him an opportunity to get out do his (CISP) Court Integrated Services Program and get back to his CCO (community corrections order).
"In my submission the community would be far better off if that was the case rather than warehousing him in custody."
Senior Constable Jones said Renouf had 24 pages of prior criminal history and the court could not be confident he would not re-offend while on bail as he had done so in the past.
Magistrate Mark Stratmann said the alleged offending was serious and Renouf had served terms of imprisonment in the past.
"To my mind it is very much a line ball," he said.
"Mr Renouf has a very unsatisfactory criminal history. What stands in his favour against that is the report I read from CISP that his compliance in the past had been satisfactory."
Mr Stratmann said he would grant bail with strict conditions for Renouf.
"You are skating on thin ice, don't break it," he said.

If one town ought to be crowned tourism capital of Cornwall, St Ives is probably it. The west Cornwall seaside town has been a popular tourist destination since the St Ives Bay Line opened in 1877.
St Ives’ popularity as the quintessential Cornish seaside town has never waned since and the number of visitors has kept going up. So much so that visiting St Ives in the summer can be a hellish experience. The small streets are rammed, finding a parking space is an art form in its own right and battling through crowds of tourists doesn’t make visiting the harbour town the most enjoyable experience.
Yet it is easy to see why it's is so popular with holidaymakers, as well as visitors from across Cornwall. Fishermens' cottages recognisable for their moss-covered roofs crowd around a quaint little harbour where brightly painted boats rest on the sand at low tide. The light so prized by artists the world over is beautiful, and turquoise waters shimmer gloriously and invitingly, while sandy beaches, museums and galleries, famous arts schools and a varied and well-established foodie scene all contribute to make it the tourists’ magnet it is today.

And that’s where the problem lies. St Ives relies on tourism to such an extent that it’s become an addiction. The town has the second highest visitor-related spend in the UK, with tourists spending £85 million per year. Around 540,000 day trippers and more than 220,000 staying tourists visit St Ives every year, with the tourism industry accounting for around 2,800 jobs in the area - that’s almost one in four people who live there.
In turns this has created its own set of problems. Over the past two years it has all come to a head and locals, priced out of their own town so the little housing stock there is left can make way for holiday lets and second homes, have had enough.

“At times, people in the town feel that they are just operatives in a theme park,” said Stefan Harkon, a St Ives RNLI lifeguard for many years and one of the driving forces behind the new skatepark which was built last year and is already famous for its unique loop-the-loop Hepworth Vortex. “We work in an area but we can’t live in it.”
Stefan has seen the town he calls home change over the years and its addiction to tourism grow - so much so that he fears that unless there is a strong political will for change at all levels, round and round we will continue to go and the young people of St Ives, and by extension Cornwall, will keep having to leave in search for better job prospects elsewhere.
“We need quality jobs and more affordable housing,” he added. “We need to invest in our young people and their future in whatever way we can. They need to have a sense of ownership of their town for if they don’t feel that the community where they live appreciates them, we’ll only see a continuation of this loop we’re in and the brain-drain will continue.
“You’d think it’d be a no-brainer for tech companies wanting to choose locations like St Ives. Perhaps the universities and colleges should look at having other campuses in places like St Ives, but at the moment all we have is a one-can narrative that is all about tourism. The outlook is pretty bleak for young people in our county right now. Tourism has become the new fishing and tin mining but you can’t get a mortgage or a career on seasonal jobs. So round and round we go.”
This is a leitmotiv we have heard repeated several times by residents, often on low income, living at the top of the hill, away from where the wealthy holiday in their second homes for often less than six weeks of the year, yet servicing an industry that feeds off that out-of-county wealth.
“We have a town where the rich people come to on holiday, when in some part of St Ives more than a third of children live below the bread line,” Camilla Dixon, the co-founder of the First Not Second Homes campaign group, said. “It is having a detrimental effect. We depleted our social housing stock when they were sold in the 80s. Because the value of land has gone up, developers have been land-grabbing and land banking to make more money. It means genuine social housing development are being priced out.”
She added: “It became even more obvious during the pandemic when it all got out of hand. Now everyone’s building extensions, converting lofts and every square metre they can to turn it all into holiday lets. The appeal to make money that way is just far too tempting.”
As there is little new land available and nowhere to buy, it has also resulted in rental prices going up - or worse - in families being evicted by landlords wanting to cash in on holidaymakers instead.
Camilla and fellow campaigner Jo Howard - the self styled ‘Mrs Box’ known for her cardboard box signs used to highlight the dire issue of second homes in St Ives - agree, you can’t blame anyone for wanting to move into a lovely coastal place to live as it happened during the pandemic when St Ives received an influx of new residents keen to sell up in London, Bristol or Birmingham. Nor can the appeal to make money out of tourists be blamed either. How many of us would turn down such an opportunity?
“It’s the law that needs to be changed,” said Jo. “The loophole on second homes not paying council tax or business rate must be closed and a tourism tax brought in on second homes. Right now it feels like a pressure cooker that came to the boil with Covid and the G7 Summit. People are telling us they’re being evicted from their homes to make way for Airbnbs.”
The campaign group, which has held silent social-distancing-compliant peaceful protests on The Island throughout the pandemic and in the run-up to the G7 Summit in neighbouring Carbis Bay last June, is calling for ring fencing to give priority to local people over out-of-county incomers, more social and affordable housing to be built and, more importantly, more political commitment at all levels to deal with the second homes and non-tax paying holiday lets issue.
“It works to have a flourishing tourism industry that pays its staff a decent enough wage so they can afford to live here,” Camilla added. “It doesn’t work to have a second homes industry. If all second homes paid council tax like they’re supposed to, there would be an extra £15m in Cornwall Council coffers at a time when they’re closing leisure centres that cost £10m to run. Cornwall has a housing crisis on its hands and second homes are not good for the economy.”
The issue of second homes in St Ives is so acute that in 2016 residents voted to ban new-build housing from being second-homes, with 83% in favour. According to Rightmove, average house prices in the town are now at £440,000, more than 17 times the median annual earnings of someone in Cornwall. Houses for sale in the town, especially those on the harbourside, regularly appear for sale with price tags ranging up to £700,000 or £1m.
St Ives also faces a shortage of rentals; in 2021, while there were more than 1,000 properties in the town available for short-term holiday let, there was only one long-term house available to rent. How can most of those who live on some of the poorest estates like Penbeagle, afford to stay a week at Sunset House, the former council house demolished to make way for a £6m house overlooking Porthmeor Beach and now rented out to holidaymakers for £7,000 a week?
Andrew George, the former Liberal Democrat MP for St Ives, now a Cornwall councillor for Ludgvan, Madron, Gulval and Heamoor and a campaigner against housing inequalities, agreed. “Widening inequality and severe housing injustice are illustrated by observing the way communities like St Ives have dramatically changed in recent decades. In the early '90s we used to canvas all homes in ‘Downalong’ just as much as we did the rest of the town. There were second and holiday homes then, but they were a minority. It’s hardly worth doing the same these days. The town has changed so much that many parts of St Ives are now a dormitory with very few local families residing there at all.”
He added: “There have been waves of demand for second home ownership in recent decades and the latest possibly pandemic-inspired pressure on the housing market is resulting in further industrial-level changes in many of our communities. This is resulting in high levels of evictions of local families as properties are converted for second, holiday and Airbnb accommodation.
"The impact on our local communities is enormous and extremely upsetting for the families harmed by this. While property speculators benefit, local families in desperate housing needs suffer through no fault of their own. This is not about the politics of envy. It’s simply the politics of social justice. And treating everyone decently and not favouring the wealthy while those on lower income are left to struggle.”
Mr George was the first to blow the whistle back in 2012 on the second home tax loophole - a loophole allowing some owners to avoid paying neither council tax or business rates which has yet to be fully closed. Since the beginning of the pandemic those entitled to this tax benefit have also received greater handouts with more than £170 million of Cornwall’s Covid aid having been given to people who do not need it.
“If those hundreds of millions of pounds had been spent addressing the housing needs of local families,” Mr George added, “we wouldn’t be where we are today with thousands of local families facing eviction and the terror of uncertainty about where they will be living in the weeks ahead.”
St Ives Town Council admitted there is not much it can do with its tiny budget and even bigger constraints but insisted it will review its neighbourhood plan and the impact of tourism. It is also lobbying Cornwall Council to let it develop land the larger authority is sitting on even though it has been earmarked for social housing, and is campaigning for a limit on Airbnbs in hotspots like St Ives as has happened in places such as Amsterdam or Barcelona.
Louise Dwelly, the town clerk, said: “The level of council tax is going down because there are more second homes which do not pay tax as they are registered as businesses. That means the running of the town is more expensive for the people who live here as it is spread across fewer people. We are also campaigning for the law to be changed for a tourism tax.”
Current Conservative MP Derek Thomas recently put pressure on his Whitehall colleagues for changes to the law to address the housing crisis in Cornwall by making long-term tenancies more attractive to landlords than holiday lets. Speaking in a debate about affordable homes in Devon and Cornwall, held in the Houses of Parliament, he said: “The situation is urgent right now. I have so many constituents who are in a desperate situation and it needs rapid and effective intervention that provides a secure home for life.
“We are losing these valuable homes, that people enjoy because of legislation that applies to private landlords but doesn’t necessarily apply to holiday lets. I don’t believe it’s a level playing-field.”
Despite its £1m homes overlooking the harbour or Porthmeor Beach, St Ives sadly boasts some of the poorest neighbourhoods in Cornwall. Some 36% of children living on the Penbeagle estate live in poverty. That’s 92 children out of the 255 living there.
According to the Children’s Society vulnerable children in Cornwall are more likely to receive free school meals than five years ago. Data from the Department of Education shows that by the end of the 2020-21 school year, 57% of Cornwall’s children in need were eligible for free school meals – up from 40% at the same point in 2016-17.
Their parents, while in work, are likely to be the ones having to rely on the local foodbank to survive. Throw in a price increase on everything from fuel, to energy bills to food and it’s no surprise many of the less well-off residents in the town are struggling to make ends meet.
“It’s going to get worse,” said Chris Wallis, who runs St Ives Foodbank out of the Chy an Gweal Methodist chapel in Carbis Bay, a stone's throw from where the leaders of the seven richest nations on earth met for their G7 Summit get-together a year ago.
The retired Pentecostal pastor set up the food bank 11 years ago to cover the TR26 postcode area but the number of people in need of its services increased dramatically during the pandemic when feeding one’s family became an even bigger struggle for many.
At the St Ives Rugby Club, the volunteers running the St Ives Community Food Share Project feel the same way. While their initiative set up during the pandemic to help feed the needy with food that supermarkets would otherwise throw away, stems from a waste-minimisation concern, Jo and Gabby, who help run the scheme, know it is plugging a gap.
There is no referral system at the Food Share project and it is not means tested. While some people who can afford to buy food at the local supermarket may come along, spurred on by an environmental concern not to see food go to waste, a majority are from some of the poorer parts of town.
Jo said: “We didn’t set this up to fight poverty but fight food waste. For if you look at how much time and energy it costs to produce food, it’s shocking to have food end up in landfill. That should never happen. Now food waste is helping solve two problems which is great. It’s filling a gap. I’m really poor so I can’t afford to buy healthy food as my food budget is limited, so what it means to me and to so many other people is that my diet is better. My kids’ diet is better too.”
When the group started out, its services were open twice a week now it runs seven days a week and hands out two tonnes of food every three months to local people. Gabby added: “A lot of people are going through a tough time right now. They’re working but they’re struggling and they can’t provide for their family so they come here where there is no stigma and they don’t have that sense of shame that’s often attached to going to a food bank.”
Back at the food bank on St Ives Road, Chris added: “I see so many people in desperate needs. Normally we’d be helping out 14 families a week but during the pandemic that went up to 35. Now we give out about 1,000 meals a week and it’s the cost of living that’s pushing the numbers up. It keeps going up. It’s very much ‘heat or eat’ for people.” | https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/st-ives-seaside-theme-park-7017200 | 2022-05-02T05:05:08Z | https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/st-ives-seaside-theme-park-7017200 | true | 4 |

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) – May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month and every week this month, NewsChannel 9 will be paying tribute to members of the AAPI community making a difference here in Central New York.
This week on “Asian Americans Standing Strong,” NewsChannel 9 is featuring Kevin Kribs, a Korean adoptee dedicating his life to serving others.
Before he became Officer Kevin Kribs, he was first known as Soon Koo Lee.
“I was born in May and I spent 3 months in Korea, born outside of Seoul in a city called Chuncheon.”

Exactly three months to the day Kevin was born, he flew across the world from Korea to JKF Airport to meet his forever family for the first time.
“I’m very, very fortunate to be here in America,” Kevin explained. “I mean, I could be adopted anywhere in the world and I’m here in America.”
Not just anywhere in America, but life took Kevin to Central New York.
He grew up in Baldwinsville with his two parents and older sister, also adopted from Korea, and had what most would describe as a “normal” childhood.
After graduating high school, Kevin went on to study marketing at SUNY Oswego, but after working as a purchasing manager for 10 years, his lifelong dream of a job in public service became a reality.
I see a lot of police officers out there trying to help the greater good, and that’s something I saw myself doing. That’s why I joined. It’s something I felt I should give back to the community because of myself getting this opportunity to come here, to give back, to essentially pay it forward to the next person.
Kevin Kribs, Korean Adoptee & Syracuse Police Officer
Kevin is one of only three SPD officers of Asian decent, something he takes great pride in as he patrols the North side of Syracuse.
I definitely see it helping, helping the community, helping the department,” Kevin said. “There’s a big Asian population up north. I mean, a lot of times on calls, somebody of Asian decent will come up to me and say, ‘hey, where are you from?’ and I’ll say ‘I’m from Korea,’ and they’ll fist bump me or give me a high five…so it’s kind of a connection there.” | https://www.localsyr.com/community/asian-americans-standing-strong/korean-adoptee-finds-purpose-as-one-of-syracuse-polices-only-asian-officers/ | 2022-05-02T05:13:10Z | https://www.localsyr.com/community/asian-americans-standing-strong/korean-adoptee-finds-purpose-as-one-of-syracuse-polices-only-asian-officers/ | false | 1 |
In an expected move, the Seahawks are not picking up the fifth-year option on the contract of defensive end L.J. Collier, according to a report Sunday night from ESPN, meaning he can be a free agent following the 2022 season
Because Collier was a first-round pick in 2019, taken 29th overall, the Seahawks could have picked up an option for the 2023 season that would have paid him $11.5 million.
Collier has struggled to establish a significant role with the Seahawks in his three previous seasons, playing in just 10 games last season, none of them starts. He was declared inactive seven times.
Collier played more down the stretch, playing from 25 to 40% of the snaps in each of the last seven games. But he did not have a sack and finished the season with eight tackles.
Collier will play this season on the final year of his four-year rookie deal, due to make a salary of $1.972 million, of which $986,324 is guaranteed.
The decision not to pick up Collier’s option means the Seahawks have not picked up the options on any of the five first-round picks who were eligible for one since the options were enacted as part of the league’s Collective Bargaining Agreement in 2011 (the others were OL James Carpenter in 2011, DE/LB Bruce Irvin in 2012, OL Germain Ifedi in 2016 and RB Rashaad Penny in 2018).
Last month, the Seahawks picked up the fifth-year option on tight end Noah Fant, the 20th overall pick in 2019 who was acquired as part of the Russell Wilson trade.
Next year the Seahawks will have a similar decision to make on linebacker Jordyn Brooks, the team’s first-round pick in 2020. | https://www.union-bulletin.com/seattle_times/seahawks-reportedly-decline-fifth-year-option-on-l-j-collier-s-contract-for-2023-season/article_2e108ccb-88e0-58d8-b782-d88b7ba46d32.html | 2022-05-02T05:13:16Z | https://www.union-bulletin.com/seattle_times/seahawks-reportedly-decline-fifth-year-option-on-l-j-collier-s-contract-for-2023-season/article_2e108ccb-88e0-58d8-b782-d88b7ba46d32.html | false | 5 |

Oil falls on China growth concerns even as EU weighs Russia import ban
By Sonali Paul
MELBOURNE, May 2 (Reuters) - Oil prices fell on Monday in holiday-sapped trade in Asia as concerns about slowing economic growth in China, the world's top oil importer, outweighed fears of potential supply disruptions from a looming European Union ban on Russian crude.
Brent crude LCOc1 futures fell $1.21, or 1.1%, to $105.93 a barrel at 0205 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude CLc1 futures fell 99 cents, or 1%, to $103.70 a barrel. Markets in Japan, India and across Southeast Asia were closed for public holidays on Monday.
Prices fell after China released data on Saturday showing that factory activity in the world's second-largest economy contracted for a second month to its lowest since February 2020 because of COVID lockdowns.
"A slowing to that extent, when China is already suffering from a property bust and worries about its (until recently) increased regulation, is potentially a major issue for commodity markets and the world economy," said Tobin Gorey, a Commonwealth Bank commodities analyst, in a note.
On the supply side, Libya's National Oil Corp (NOC) said on Sunday it would temporarily resume operations at the Zueitina oil terminal to reduce stockpiles in storage tanks to avert an "imminent environmental disaster" at the port.
NOC in late April declared force majeure on some shipments at Zueitina as political protesters forced a number of oil facilities to suspend operations.
Limiting the down side for oil prices is a possible dent in supply with the European Union leaning towards banning imports of Russian oil by the end of the year, two EU diplomats said after talks between the European Commission and EU member states on the weekend.
Around half of Russia's 4.7 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude exports go to the EU, supplying about one-fourth of the EU's oil imports in 2020.
While Western countries have curbed buying Russian oil as sanctions have hit shipping and insurance for the country's exports, the impact on global supply has been cushioned as India has been picking up lower priced Russian cargoes.
Royal Bank of Canada analysts estimated India's crude imports from Russia have grown from less than 100,000 bpd in 2021 to 800,000 bpd in April and expect India to continue ramping up imports as long as Washington does not impose secondary sanctions.
Reuters reported on Friday that Indian refiners are negotiating a six-month oil deal with Russia to import millions of barrels per month.

There have been a number of people wondering why we don’t do more about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
As a veteran and a member of the American Legion, I receive their magazine. In the April 2009 issue, the reason becomes very obvious. Russia is nuclear power.
If Russia pushed the button, we of course, would respond likewise. With the thousands of missiles in the Russian arsenal, there would be more than one missile coming at us. Would our missile defense system be able to shoot them down before they reached our shores?
Even one would be devastating. If just one nuclear electromagnetic pulse missile was detonated 100 miles above central Ohio, reaching 1,000 miles in every direction, it would devastate the entire eastern United States.
It’s hard to imagine what earth would look like if there was a nuclear war. It’s also hard to believe the Russian people are allowing a mad man such as Vladimir Putin to run their country.
Putin is no better than the Nazis in World War II. It’s hard to believe we fought against both of them.
Russia has always been a thorn in our side during the Korean War, the Vietnam War and a poor loser in the cold war.
It was always Putin’s mission to destroy us.

TOKYO (AP) — Coast guard officials searched the office of a Japanese tour boat operator Monday as part of a criminal investigation into suspicions that professional negligence caused the sinking of a vessel carrying 26 people in a national park last month.
The Kazu 1 sightseeing boat started the tour in Shiretoko National Park on the northeastern side of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost main island, on April 23 despite forecast rough seas and warnings from other tour operators. It made a distress call that afternoon saying it was sinking.
The Japanese coast guard said investigators were raiding unidentified locations related to the tour boat operator. Footage on NHK public television showed uniformed coast guard officials entering the tour boat operator's office and the house of the sunken boat’s captain.
Separately, the coast guard plans to use a remote-controlled submersible camera to look inside of the sunken boat in hopes of finding bodies possibly trapped inside. The operation was delayed Monday due to bad weather.
The boat carried two crew members and 24 passengers, including two children. Fourteen bodies have been recovered.
The hull of the boat with its name on it was found near Kashuni Falls, where the boat made the distress call. It was upside down on the seabed about 115 meters (377 feet) deep.
The operator, Shiretoko Pleasure Cruiser, had two accidents last year, including one that involved the captain of the sunken boat, Noriyuki Toyoda, the transport ministry said earlier.
Seiichi Katsurada, the head of the company, said last week that he approved the trip despite a broken communication device and forecasts of rough weather. The boat also lacked a satellite phone, he said. Media reports say the captain's cell phone had no signal and the crew borrowed one from a passenger to call the office.
Katsurada said waters at their home port were calm when the boat departed and the captain could have changed the tour plans if the weather worsened. | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Investigators-raid-Japan-boat-company-s-office-17140819.php | 2022-05-02T05:27:33Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Investigators-raid-Japan-boat-company-s-office-17140819.php | true | 36 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump 's post-presidency enters a new phase this month as voters across the U.S. begin weighing the candidates he elevated to pursue a vision of a Republican Party steeped in hard-line populism, culture wars and denial of his loss in the 2020 campaign.
The first test comes on Tuesday when voters in Ohio choose between the Trump-backed JD Vance for an open U.S. Senate seat and several other contenders who spent months clamoring for the former president's support. In the following weeks, elections in Nebraska, Pennsylvania and North Carolina will also serve as a referendum on Trump's ability to shape the future of the GOP.
In nearly every case, Trump has endorsed only those who embrace his false claims of election fraud and excuse the deadly U.S. Capitol insurrection he inspired last year.
“The month of May is going to be a critical window into where we are,” said Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, a Trump critic defending incumbent GOP governors in Georgia, Ohio and Idaho against Trump-backed challengers this month. “I’m just concerned that there are some people trying to tear the party apart or burn it down.”
Few states may be a higher priority for Trump than Georgia, where early voting begins on Monday ahead of the May 24 primary. He's taken a particularly active role in the governor's race there, recruiting a former U.S. senator to take on the incumbent Republican for failing to go along with his election lie. For similar reasons, Trump is also aiming to unseat the Republican secretary of state, who he unsuccessfully pressured to overturn President Joe Biden's victory.
While the primary season will play out deep into the summer, the first batch of races could set the tone for the year. If Republican voters in the early states rally behind the Trump-backed candidates, the former president's kingmaker status would be validated, likely enhancing his power as he considers another bid for the presidency. High-profile setbacks, however, could dent his stature and give stronger footing to those who hope to advance an alternate vision for the GOP.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz predicted a strong month of May for Trump and his allies.
“The voices in Washington that want him to fade into obscurity or to be silenced are engaged in their own form of wishful thinking," Cruz said in an interview. "That’s not going to happen. Nor should he.”
As Republicans grapple with Trump, Democrats are confronting their own set of revealing primaries.
Candidates representing the Democrats’ moderate and progressive wings are yanking the party in opposing directions while offering conflicting messages about how to overcome their acute political shortcomings, Biden’s weak standing chief among them. History suggests that Democrats, as the party that controls Washington, may be headed for big losses in November no matter which direction they go.
But as Democrats engage in passionate debates over policies, Republicans are waging deeply personal and expensive attacks against each other that are designed, above all, to win over Trump and his strongest supporters.
Florida Sen. Rick Scott, who leads the GOP's effort to retake the Senate, described the month of May as a brutal sorting period likely to be dominated by Republican infighting instead of the policy solutions or contrasts with Democrats he’d like to see.
“The primaries too often become sort of character assassinations,” Scott said in an interview. “That’s what has happened.”
He added, “Hopefully, people come together."
No race may be messier than the Republican primary election for Georgia’s governor. Trump has spent months attacking Republican incumbents Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. He blames both men for not working hard enough to overturn his narrow loss in 2020 presidential election.
The results in Georgia were certified after a trio of recounts, including one partially done by hand. They all affirmed Biden’s victory.
Federal and state election officials and Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the election was tainted. The former president’s allegations of fraud were also roundly rejected by courts, including by judges Trump appointed.
Georgia Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, a frequent Trump critic who is not running for reelection, described Trump’s decision to back former Sen. David Perdue against Kemp an “embarrassing” waste of time that could undermine the GOP’s broader goals this fall.
Duncan predicted Trump would ultimately win some races and lose others this month, but he was especially optimistic about Kemp’s chances to beat back Trump’s challenge.
“If a sitting governor is able to defeat that whole Donald Trump notion by a huge amount — and others down the ticket — I think we’re gonna send a message that it’s gonna take more than a Donald Trump endorsement to call yourself a Republican,” he said.
For now, however, Trump is unquestionably the nation's most powerful Republican as even those who find themselves on opposite sides of the former president are careful to note their loyalty to him. Cruz, who is backing opponents of Trump-endorsed Senate candidates in Ohio and Pennsylvania, downplayed any disagreement with him in an interview. Cruz noted he made his picks long before Trump did.
“For the four years he was president, Donald Trump had no stronger ally in the Senate than me,” Cruz said.
Six months before the general election, the Republican candidates in key primaries have already spent mountains of campaign cash attacking against each other as Democrats largely save their resources — and sharpest attacks — for the November.
With early voting already underway in Ohio, a half-dozen Republican candidates in the state's high-profile Senate primary and their allied outside groups have spent more than $66 million this year combined on television advertising as of last week, according to Democratic officials tracking ad spending. The vast majority of the ads were Republican-on-Republican attacks.
Mike Gibbons, a Cleveland real estate developer and investment banker, spent $15 million alone on television advertising as of last week. That includes an advertising campaign attacking Vance highlighting his past description of Trump as “an idiot."
The pro-Vance super PAC known as Protect Ohio Values, meanwhile, has spent $10 million on the primary so far, including a recent barrage of attack ads casting Cruz-backed candidate Josh Mandel as “another failed career politician squish.”
On the other side, the leading Senate Democratic hopeful, Rep. Tim Ryan, has spent less than $3 million so far in positive television ads promoting his own push to protect Ohio manufacturing jobs from China.
The spending disparities in high-profile Senate primaries in Pennsylvania and North Carolina were equally stunning.
In the Pennsylvania, where Trump-backed Dr. Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund executive David McCormick are locked in a fierce fight for the GOP nomination, the candidates and allied outside groups have spent more than $48 million on television advertising so far. Democrats spent just over $10 million.
And in North Carolina, Republican forces have spent more than $15 million on a divisive primary pitting Trump-backed Rep. Ted Budd against former Gov. Pat McCrory. Democrats, who have united behind former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley, spent just over $2 million.
Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, who leads the effort for Democrats to keep the Senate majority, said Republicans are essentially creating the Democrats' general election ads for them. He described the intensity of the Republican infighting in several states as “toxic for the character of the Republican candidates.”
“They’re trying to compete to see who is the Trumpiest of the Trumpsters," Peters said. “They’re not talking about issues that people care about.”
At the same time, Peters acknowledged their own party's challenges, particularly Biden's low popularity. He said it would be up to every individual candidate to decide whether to invite the Democratic president to campaign on their behalf.
“I think the president can be helpful,” Peters said of Biden. But “this is about the candidates. They’re running to represent their state in the United States Senate. And they have to rise and fall by who they are as individuals.” | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Trump-s-bid-to-shape-GOP-faces-test-with-voters-17140807.php | 2022-05-02T05:28:11Z | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Trump-s-bid-to-shape-GOP-faces-test-with-voters-17140807.php | false | 48 |
Dying Light 2 lead designer Tymon Smektała has revealed some new information about the game’s upcoming story downloadable content (DLC) and future updates.
In an interview with Wccftech (from April 28), Smektała said: “What I can say right now is that the first [DLC] runs parallel to the main story, so it can be started right after Aiden arrives in The City. Since it’s the first one out the gate, we didn’t want to force players to finish the game before they’d be able to have fun with it.”
When asked if the DLC will tie into the overall story, Smektała doesn’t get too specific, but he does note that “its story is centred around a specific place outside of the Villedor city limits. But of course, there will be some choices to make!”
Smektała also confirms that, like with the original game, the team won’t be afraid to get experimental with post-launch content. However, he’s understandably reluctant to get too specific, instead opting to share the team’s openness to accommodate the community based on their requests and interests.
Co-op will also be making a return in certain gameplay modes, with some online-centric modes coming as early as this year and 2023.
When questioned about other Techland projects that could be released during Dying Light 2’s five-year content plan, Smektała isn’t shy about expressing his interest in their new intellectual property (IP).
“As a company, we have announced that we’re working on another game – a AAA open world in a fantasy setting. It’s being built by our Warsaw team, without any rush – building a completely new IP brick by brick. It has the potential to be an amazing game and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for it. Actually, I’d love to work on it.”
Dying Light 2’s first story DLC is set to release this June.
In other news, Sega reiterates that Sonic Frontiers is still releasing this year despite the lack of news. | https://www.nme.com/en_asia/news/gaming-news/dying-light-2-story-dlc-and-future-updates-detailed-by-techland-3216577 | 2022-05-02T05:29:13Z | https://www.nme.com/en_asia/news/gaming-news/dying-light-2-story-dlc-and-future-updates-detailed-by-techland-3216577 | true | 4 |
TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares slipped Monday lower following a sell-off last week on Wall Street as investors fretted over the impact on regional economies from inflation, the war in Ukraine and COVID-19 lockdowns in China.
Benchmarks declined in Japan, South Korea and Australia. Trading was closed for holidays in China and many other regional markets.
A report showing pandemic lockdowns have hurt factory activity in China, a main regional driver of growth, was a fresh source of concern.
The monthly purchasing managers’ index, released by China’s National Bureau of Statistics, fell to 47.4 in April, down from 49.5 in March on a 100-point scale. Numbers below 50 show activity contracting.
The COVID-19 outbreaks have impacted China’s factory activities and market demand, said the bureau’s statistician Zhao Qinghe.
Some enterprises have reduced or stopped production, with disruptions in logistics as well as the supply or raw materials and components.
Residents of Shanghai, China’s most populous city, spent weeks in April under lockdown. The capital, Beijing, began mass testing millions of residents this week.
In Japan, a series of national holidays this week known as Golden Week is allowing people to take a vacation, even in the “workaholic” culture at companies. But the crowds gathering in resorts are adding to concerns coronavirus cases might pick up again, leading to a resumption of restrictions on restaurant opening hours and other business activities.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 declined 0.6% in morning trading to 26,685.18. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 dropped 1.7% to 7,306.50. South Korea's Kospi shed 0.6% to 2,678.05. Trading was closed in China for Labor Day, a national holiday, and in other regional markets.
In Ukraine, an evacuation started of civilians from a besieged steel plant in Mariupol. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said more than 100 civilians, mainly women and children, were expected to arrive in the Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporizhzhia on Monday.
On Friday, steep losses for technology stocks pushed the S&P 500 down 3.6% to 4,131.93, while the Nasdaq fell 4% to 12,334.64, finishing April down 13.3% in its biggest monthly loss since 2008.
The Dow dropped 2.8% to 32,977.21 and smaller company stocks also had a rough day. The Russell 2000 slid 2.8%, to 1,864.10.
Investors have been reviewing financial results from big tech companies, industrial firms and retailers and some disappointing results or outlooks from Apple, Google’s parent company and Amazon helped fuel the selling last week.
Retail giant Amazon posted its first loss since 2015, with the decline knocking more than $200 billion off its market value.
The Nasdaq composite, heavily weighted with technology stocks, has lost 21.2% this year.
Traders are watching for next steps by the U.S. Federal Reserve to battle inflation. The Fed is expected to announce another round of rate hikes this week. That means higher borrowing costs at a time when inflation worries are high on the minds of investors and consumers alike.
Prices for everything from food to gas have been rising as the economy recovers from the pandemic and there has been a big disconnect between higher demand and lagging supplies. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has only added to inflation worries.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude lost 92 cents to $103.77 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It shed 67 cents to $104.69 per barrel on Friday.
Brent crude, the international standard, fell $1.06 to $106.08 a barrel.
In currency trading, the U.S. dollar edged up to 130.24 Japanese yen from 129.83 yen. The euro cost $1.0525, inching down from $1.0546. | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4525369 | 2022-05-02T05:30:27Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4525369 | true | 11 |
One side of the building contains two simple bedrooms and a bathroom. The other, larger side houses the open-plan living area, kitchen, covered deck with fireplace, and additional bedroom.
The deck-hallway that runs the length of the building is partially covered, but the decking boards and inset fiberglass door panels allow air and light to penetrate. The architects wanted to suggest that moving between the different living spaces involved a trip through nature, as it does in traditional camping. | https://www.dwell.com/@justynazalewski | 2022-05-02T05:31:39Z | https://www.dwell.com/@justynazalewski | true | null |

Both pitchers remained in control within the circle, and both sides topped the table in the 11th inning. A Kauf single sandwiched between a pair of walks loaded Tech’s base, allowing Allen to send a chopper to the center of the pair’s drive. Dennis then took over the business in the lower half and started the series with the Yellowjackets winning the Eagles 3-1.

Delirious is taking independent bookings for the first time in over a decade.
He made the announcement on his Twitter account. He will be taking “full-time” bookings this spring into late summer.
Here is the press release from Delirious:
“FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 1st, 2022
“For the first time in over 10 years …. DELIRIOUS will be available for full-time bookings from May 2022 – August 2022.
Don’t miss your chance to book DELIRIOUS this summer for wrestling appearances and comprehensive pro wrestling seminars.
“DELIRIOUS has an extensive resume consisting of over 20 years of international pro wrestling experience including Mexico, Japan and the UK. Over 10 years as ROH Head Training Instructor. Over 10 years of full-time writing and producing for television and much more.
“For booking inquiries and info on seminar packages please email: DeliriousWrestler@gmail.com
“DELIRIOUS has provided a list of wrestlers who he would love to compete against this summer so promoters… take note.
“We are excited for the 2022 SUMMER HYSTERIA TOUR and it is still to be determined whether this is the last time DELIRIOUS will be available for independent bookings so don’t miss out!
“Peace and Love, Alice.
“- Delirious Translator & Assistant”
WWE superstar Cody Rhodes showed his support for Delirious on social media:
“Awwww I love this. When I came to ROH there was a 30% business jolt in year 1 and then double that for year 2 – record business for them! AND this was the guy writing/editing/organizing the whole show. Good luck Delirious! Check em’ all off.
“Also, I should make a new list…”
When ROH went on hiatus, there was a ton of uncertainty. The promotion had released all of its talent and planned for a “reconceptualization” period. AEW President Tony Khan ended up purchasing the promotion.
As SEScoops first reported, ROH staff were told to prepare for their releases. Delirious was no exception. | https://www.sescoops.com/news/roh-booker-delirious-independent-bookings/ | 2022-05-02T05:42:42Z | https://www.sescoops.com/news/roh-booker-delirious-independent-bookings/ | true | 1 |

TechNigeria: A weekly digest of what happened in Nigeria’s tech space
ImaliPay, Sycamore, ZirooPay, O7Therapy, and Strove. These are some of the names that made this week’s headline.
Union Bank, Nigeria’s 105-year-old financial institution, has launched Space NXT, a technology and innovation hub in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial center.
Visa, America’s global tech payment giant, also built an innovation studio in Kenya that week with the aim of helping Africans develop digital solutions.
Let’s take a look at the details.
The world is more advanced in terms of technology, but it is just as unsafe. Were you surprised?
According to Acronis Cyber Protection Week Global Report 2022, 76% of organizations suffered downtime and data loss in 2021.
A report published that week by Ripples Nigeria cited system crashes, human error, and cyberattacks as the main causes of data loss by organizations in the year under review.
Acronis, the world leader in cyber protection, said organizations need to combat growing threats by deploying integrated cyber protection solutions.
Banks are taking a step towards promoting national social change. What’s new from this point of view?
Union Bank, Nigeria’s 105-year-old financial institution, has launched Space NXT, a technology and innovation hub in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial center.
The bank revealed this in a press release transferred to Ripple Nigeria on Friday.
According to the bank, development was to foster innovation and collaboration within Nigeria’s technology ecosystem.
FinTech is still the king. And Africa benefits from the flow of investment. what do you mean?
Nigerian fintech startup Imali Pay secured $ 3 million in seeds and equity rounds during the week.
According to the contract details, this round will fund a startup plan that aims to provide financial services to underserved gig workers across Africa.
As an organization, Imali Pay leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and big data to provide gig economy platforms across Africa and customized financial products that encourage worker participation.
Like Sycamore, like Imali Pay. If the startup has a party after every razor, every day will be a Fiesta. What is the point?
Sycamore, a peer-to-peer loan company in Nigeria, also raised an investment, but it was not disclosed at the time of the press.
The round was led by White Hibiscus Capital (WHC), a US-based venture capital firm, with the participation of other private investors.
Also read: TechNigeria: A weekly digest of what happened in Nigeria’s tech space
The P2P lending venture was founded in 2019 by Babatunde Akin-Moses, Onyinye Okonji, and Mayowa Adeosun.
Nigeria’s large population did not fully convince visas. Between Nigeria and Kenya, visas seemed to favor East African countries. Why this conclusion?
For a week under consideration, American payment giant Visa commissioned a newly built innovation studio in Kenya to help Africans develop digital solutions.
A multinational financial services company unveiled its facility on Wednesday at an event attended by key local technicians and engineers.
According to Visa, this development was in line with its commitment to promote electronic payment systems around the world.
Maybe the war is between America and Russia, Ukraine is just a cover. Maybe this is an opinion. Maybe this is the case. Maybe just!
Intel Corp., an American chip maker, announced on Tuesday that it would suspend operations in Russia, a move to show solidarity with Ukrainians as the war progresses.
Intel made a statement on its official website, condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and calling for a swift return to peace.
Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, the company empathized with the Russian people and sent a message of support to thousands of Russian-based employees.
How else do you emphasize that FinTech is the King? Explain why the space has more founders than any other subsector. How much is $ 11 million in Naira?
This week, Lagos-based agency banking startup Ziroo Pay raised $ 11.4 million in a Series A round led by local venture capital firm Zrosk Investment Administration.
According to startups, this investment will help expand product capabilities and accelerate team growth.
Agency Banking startups are an app-based platform that deploys fintech solutions to facilitate payments.
Egypt is not left behind. The emotions are the same. And the trend can only continue.
Egypt-based health tech startup O7 Therapy completed a $ 2.1 million seed round this week.
The round, led by Hikma Ventures, was attended by other angel investors such as C-Ventures and Lotus Ventures.
Healthtech start-ups are sophisticated, scientific and research-based online platforms established to support mental health by developing reliable protocols for data encryption and storage.

Final change to Australia's Covid rules which means the pandemic's crippling restrictions are FINALLY over
- Tasmania eliminated close contact isolation rules for households on Monday
- Across the country there are 330,000 active Covid cases - 3,000 are in hospital
- NSW and Victoria confirmed two new highly transmissible variants of Omicron
Household contacts of people infected with Covid-19 are no longer required to isolate in any Australian state.
Tasmania on Monday became the last jurisdiction to eliminate the requirement for people to isolate for a week if a member of their household had the virus.
There are around 330,000 active coronavirus cases around the country, with more than 3,000 in hospital with the virus.
Tasmania on Monday became the last jurisdiction to eliminate the requirement for people to isolate for a week if a member of their household had the virus (pictured, a masked woman walking in Hobart)
Meanwhile, NSW and Victorian health authorities confirmed last week they had detected evidence of two new sub-variants of the Omicron strain - BA.4 and BA.2.12.1.
The World Health Organisation has declared the BA.4 strain a highly transmissible variant of concern.
An article in the Medical Journal of Australia published on Monday documented the 'huge challenges' the virus presented for general practices over the past two years.
Author Claire Jackson from the University of Queensland, said digital innovation, phone and videoconference consulting, remote monitoring, and new models of care offering optimal access had been 'the big winners from the COVID-19 experience'.
While telehealth rebates were modest, digital access to GPs had been embraced by patients 'and will be hard to unwind'.
'At this time, the vast majority of those affected have mild disease and are able to manage well at home with practice telehealth support,' the report said.
'2022 will no doubt present new challenges as COVID-19 continues to alarm, dismay and disconcert.
'The only certainty is our acknowledged inability to precisely predict its direction, impact and eventual defeat.'
Western Australia's government meanwhile announced it will provide a further 10 free rapid antigen tests to close contacts who are asymptomatic.
The tests, which can be collected at vaccination and testing clinics across the state, are in addition to the 15 free tests which are already being distributed to every household.

MANILA, Philippines – Beauty queen Samantha Bernardo is replacing athlete Alyssa Valdez in the Top 2 of the celebrity edition of Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10, following Valdez’ decision to relinquish her spot.
During the Sunday, May 1 episode of PBB, Valdez, who’s part of the Philippine women’s volleyball team, shared that she can’t return to the reality competition due to scheduling conflicts with the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.
“Dito po sa labas ng inyong bahay, meron pong mga commitments na kailangan ko pong gampanan para sa ating bansa. Magpi-prepare na ang national team para sa nalalapit na SEA Games. Sa Vietnam po ito gaganapin. Hindi ko masasabi kung kailan ito matatapos kaya naman po hindi ko magagampanan at hindi ako makakabalik sa loob ng inyong bahay,” she told Big Brother.
(Here, outside your house, I have commitments that I need to do for our country. The national team is gearing up for the upcoming SEA Games. It’ll happen in Vietnam. I can’t tell when it will finish, which is why I can’t return to your house.)
The SEA Games will happen on May 12 to May 23, which will possibly coincide with the supposed return of the Top 2 housemates. The show has yet to announce when the housemates are set to return to the PBB house.
Following Valdez’ withdrawal, Bernardo will be taking her spot. The beauty queen, together with singer Anji Salvacion, will represent the celebrity batch of this season. During the announcement of the Top 2 celebrity housemates in January, Bernardo placed third among the final five, with a slim 0.08 difference from Salvacion’s 13.60% votes.
“Isang malaking karangalan na ako ‘yung kapalit ni sissy (Alyssa Valdez). Laban natin ‘to, sissy,” Bernardo said. (It’s a huge honor to replace [Valdez]. This is our fight.)
Valdez also left a message rooting for Bernardo: “Alam ko na ibibigay niyo ni Anji ‘yung best niyo para misrepresent ang batch natin sa bahay ni Kuya. Good luck and see you in the outside world soon.” (I know that you and Anji will give your best to represent our batch inside Big Brother’s house.)
Bernardo and Salvacion are set to compete with the other Top 2 housemates from the adult and teen batches to determine the big winner. Isabel Laohoo and Nathan Juane are the Top 2 housemates from the adult edition, while the teen edition is still ongoing.
The current season is the 16th edition of the show. Pinoy Big Brother first premiered on ABS-CBN in 2005, following the format of the international Big Brother franchise.
The reality show follows a group of people living together in one house for a set period of time, completing different challenges throughout. Housemates are eliminated every week, until a winner is declared in the season finale. – Rappler.com | https://www.rappler.com/entertainment/series/samantha-bernardo-replaces-alyssa-valdez-pinoy-big-brother-celebrity-kumunity-top-2/ | 2022-05-02T05:52:26Z | https://www.rappler.com/entertainment/series/samantha-bernardo-replaces-alyssa-valdez-pinoy-big-brother-celebrity-kumunity-top-2/ | true | 1 |

Inspired by the surrounding landscape of chestnut trees, rocky hillside, and bubbling stream, Portuguese architecture firm 3r Ernesto Pereira chose to blend into, and take advantage of, the local geography rather than fight against it at this sleek, modern home near the coastal city of Porto. At a cost of €100,000 (approximately $125,000) and measuring about 140 square meters, this stunning, wood-and-glass retreat took about four months to construct. | https://www.dwell.com/@nequeso | 2022-05-02T05:58:23Z | https://www.dwell.com/@nequeso | false | null |

Award-winning Ghanaian Gospel singer, Celestine Donkor has shared a revelation she had about the second coming of Jesus Christ.
In a self-recorded video, the singer urged people to never take their dreams for granted.
According to her, when you wake up from your sleep and you can remember your dream vividly then it means you must take it seriously.
Celestine Donkor then went ahead to share what she saw about the coming of the Lord, in other words, the “Judgement Day.”
She revealed that her dream about the second coming of Christ was "scary" with a host of people crying for help.
Christians believe that one day all men in the world shall assemble before God and give an account of what they did while they were on earth.

U.S. soldiers consolidate their hold on the international airport outside Baghdad, with reinforcements on the way. The airport is likely to serve as an important strategic base as commanders consider whether to cut through the city or to surround it. NPR's Tom Gjelten reports.

Katy Perry reacts to the video of her falling off the chair while wearing the Ariel costume on American Idol
Katy Perry laughed at herself as she posted the video of her taking a tumble on the American Idol episode.
Katy Perry sported the Ariel mermaid costume for American Idol's latest Disney themed episode and while wearing the same, took a tumble from her chair. Perry's mermaid costume wasn't comfortable and the singer also had trouble walking in it. Later the singer also happened to take a fall as she fell off from her chair during the episode's beginning.
Perry shared the video of her funny fall on Twitter and wrote, "Flippin’ your fins you don’t get too far." The video showcased host Ryan Seacrest's introduction getting interrupted by a crashing noise after which he was seen reacting in shock. The camera then showed Katy off the chair with her mermaid tail facing up. She was then helped by her co-judges, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan to get up.
The singer herself enjoyed a good laugh over the incident and after she was back up on her chair, the audience members further cheered her on as they broke out into a 'Katy! Katy! Katy!' chant as she smiled. The video of Perry falling off the chair went viral quite soon and it seems Katy herself also wanted to get in on the fun as she also shared a remix version of her fall from the show.

Katy has been a judge on American Idol since 2018. The singer is known to have sported the most unique costumes on the show. During the pandemic, she was even dressed as a sanitiser bottle on the show as she turned up for the virtual episode of the show then.

New upper speed limit increases to 120 kilometres per hour on some Thai motorways
From yesterday, the speed limit for all traffic will now increase to 120 kilometres per hour. The change covers at least four highways in Thailand as a pilot program. The announcement was made by the director-general of the Highways Department and is already published in the Royal Gazette.
There’s been a few false starts on the raising of the national speed limit in the past, partly due to the government focussing on the Covid pandemic in the country. Last year the official upper limit was changed 120 kph but wasn’t for all types of vehicles.
It is envisaged that the new maximum speed will eventually roll out across all motorways across the country. All the arteries listed are 4-lane highways or motorways.
The motorways include…
• Highway No 9 (Kanchanapisek), from Bang Khae to Mahasawat.
• Highway No 35 (Rama II), from Na Kok to Phraek Nam Dang.
• Highway No 4 (Phet Kasem) from Khao Wang to Sra Phra.
• Highway 4 (Phet Kasem) Khao Wang to Sra Phra.
The new upper speed limit doesn’t cover all sections of the main arteries and new speed limit signs are being located along the routes to alert drivers where the new stretches of 120 kilometre per hour limits are in place.
Drivers who violate Thai speed limits may be liable to a punishment. Currently offenders can be fined up to 1,000 baht for their first speeding offence. But mostly drivers are fined 500 baht for an on-the-spot fine. Of course all drivers must carry a valid Thai driving license or an equivalent International Driving Permit.
The new official speed limits won’t change very much as the older speed limits of 90 and 100 kilometres per hour were mostly exceeded by the majority of drivers anyway.
And for the full designation of the speed limit locations on these four motorways, Thai PBS World has published a detailed description…
• Highway No 9 (Kanchanapisek), from Bang Khae to Mahasawat between 23+500km-31+600km in-bound and out-bound.
• Highway No 35 (Rama II), from Na Kok to Phraek Nam Dang between 56+000km and 57+300km in-bound and out-bound; between 58+800km and 68+200km in-bound and out-bound; between 69+950km and 73+800km in-bound and out-bound; between 75+000km and 76+800km in-bound and out-bound; between 78+250km and 78+690km in-bound and out-bound and between 79+110km and 80+600km in-bound and out-bound.
• Highway No 4 (Phet Kasem) from Khao Wang to Sra Phra between 160+000km to 167+000km in-bound and out-bound.
• Highway 4 (Phet Kasem) Khao Wang to Sra Phra between 172+000km to 178+000km in-bound and out-bound and between 178+750km and 183+500km in-bound and out-bound.

Modern dance icon Merce Cunningham is now the published artist. His book of sketches, Other Animals: Drawing and Journals, shows Cunningham at his most whimsical. The combined effect of the essays, drawings and photos of some of his best-known dance numbers reveal much about both his creative spirit and how he approaches choreography.

The Bush administration says the war in Iraq has cost $20 billion already, and will require another $20 billion over the next five months. The Pentagon cautions there are variables in the long-term costs. Even so, the estimate is less than private analysts and economists had predicted. NPR's Jack Speer reports.

As U.S. forces seek an interim administration to run Iraq until elections can be held, the Iraqi National Congress -- a group that opposed Saddam from exile -- is likely to have major influence. Shia Muslims also expect to play a part. Hear from NPR's Jackie Northam, NPR's Melissa Block and Christian Science Monitor reporter Peter Ford.

NPR's David Molpus concludes Morning Edition's series on Dirty Work with a profile of industrial laundry workers in New York City. Most of these workers are immigrants who are paid less than $7 an hour to clean clothing and linens from restaurants and hospitals. They sort thousands of pounds of laundry by hand, and frequently encounter trash, smeared human waste, and needles. The job has little protection and few rewards, but union leaders are working to improve safety and increase salaries.

The discovery of oil in Uganda has been cause for celebration at home. Predictably, however, the Lake Albert basin oil project – which marks a milestone in Uganda’s ambition to become a oil producer and exporter – is being met with criticism from developed and already industrialised nations in the West.
For more than a decade, Europe, Britain, and the United States have been trying to transition to renewable energy. Of course, their green ambitions are laudable, but the way they are going about realising them – imposing a moratorium on fossil fuel investment at home and abroad – is misguided.
Given that demand for oil and gas remains as high as ever, the only effect of the policy has been to reduce supply options, creating dependency on hostile nations.
It is clearly time, therefore, for a rethink on how the transition to green energy is made.
In the UK, that rethink has already started, with Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng ordering a review into the fracking ban in England. This is significant, and a moment to consider the wider picture.
Across the world, billions stand to benefit from the right decisions taken today. In Africa, where the population is set to double by 2050, it is becoming increasingly clear that our energy needs cannot be met with a sudden shift to more expensive and less reliable solar and wind energy alone. Nor can renewables yet deliver the baseload required to boost manufacturing or industrialise agriculture – crucial for Africa in the wake of the pandemic.
In light of the Ukraine war, the West, too, would do well to consider a change in policy – and initiatives like the Lake Albert basin oil project may form part of the answer. By investing in oil and gas deposits in friendly nations such as Uganda, Europe could decrease its reliance on hostile nations.
It is bizarre that European countries are so reticent about following this path.
African nations like Uganda see eye-to-eye with the West about the need to eliminate fossil fuels in the long term, and our broad energy strategy includes nuclear, hydro and biomass, as well as oil and gas.
What’s more, the African continent produces just a fraction of global carbon emissions. Were sub-Saharan Africa (minus South Africa) to triple its electricity consumption overnight, for instance, it would add just 0.6 per cent to global emissions.
And yet the Lake Albert project, like other initiatives before it, is now a battleground for the green NGOs and activists who claim that Armageddon is nigh at every opportunity.
We are accustomed to these lectures, but we are tired of hearing them.
Uganda is an environmentally friendly country by nature. Wildlife and agriculture were the mainstay of our economy long before the discovery of our oil, and will remain so long after all the oil is gone. Our ambitious reforestation programme has already increased forest cover from nine per cent to 12.5 per cent in just five years, and aims to reach 24 per cent by 2040. We have always demanded and enforced extremely high standards for environmental protection, and continue to do so today.
As for the families and communities affected by the projects, they receive the most generous compensation packages. Acceptance rate for compensation is at more than 97 per cent, and under national law it is impossible for work to commence until it is agreed and paid in full.
Western politicians must adopt a more realistic approach to fossil fuels, particularly where developing countries are concerned. Lifting the moratorium would be a good start; active support for and investment in African projects better still.
Like it or not, the world will remain dependent on oil for the foreseeable future.
Eventually, we can and must wean ourselves off it. But we can do so without crippling development or becoming even more dependent on those whom we do not trust.
As I said to the world leaders summit during COP26: if you conserve under-development, you can forget about conserving the environment.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis joined "The Ingraham Angle Town Hall" in Orlando, Florida, on Thursday to break down Florida's efforts to crack down on illegal immigration. RON DESANTIS: It affects everybody. The fentanyl that's coming across the border is affecting every state in this union. That's why the number one cause of death for 18 to 45 is now fentanyl overdoses. We have money in the state budget. I don't have it yet. I'm going to get it within the next few weeks. If Biden is caravanning people into Florida … I think what you're seeing there is these are people that are getting here on their own, which is harder to do if there's a big movement of them, then you can stop at the interstate, and then you can reroute. We want to reroute to Delaware. We think that that's appropriate to be able to do that. So that's what we're going to do. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2586588546346/arizona-ag-suing-biden-admin-rips-new-asylum-policy-it-s-breathtaking | 2022-05-02T06:23:01Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2586588546346/arizona-ag-suing-biden-admin-rips-new-asylum-policy-it-s-breathtaking | true | 43 |
