Each year on April 26, the global intellectual property community celebrates World Intellectual Property Day. The event was established by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 2000 as an opportunity to highlight the role played by IP rights in encouraging innovation and creativity. April 26th was chosen as the day to celebrate World Intellectual Property Day as it coincides with the date when the convention establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization came into effect in 1970.
To mark the World IP Day, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, launched a call for proposals for ElevateIP1. ElevateIP was introduced through Budget 2021 as a four-year, $90 million program designed to provide funding to business accelerators and incubators (BAI) and BAI networks, "to provide the tools Canadian start-ups need to better protect, strategically manage and leverage their IP". With ElevateIP funding, BAIs can offer start-ups individualized IP programming in three key areas: the development of IP strategies, the implementation of IP strategies, and IP education and awareness. The call for proposals will close on June 28, 2022.
Minister Champagne also announced the recipients of the 2021-2022 Indigenous Intellectual Property Program (IIPP) grant2. The IIPP grant provides funds for Indigenous organization for funding travel, small-scale initiatives and projects related to intellectual property, Indigenous knowledge and Indigenous cultural expressions. This year five organizations received a total of $116,665 under the IIPP grant.

Indian Americans furious over US state assembly's citation on Sikh Independence'
Indian Americans furious over US state assembly's citation on Sikh Independence'
Washington: Indian Americans have expressed outrage over a citation issued by the general assembly of the US state of Connecticut recognising an anniversary of the so-called declaration of Sikh independence. In the official citation dated April 29, the Connecticut general assembly congratulated the pro-Khalistan organisation World Sikh Parliament in recognition of the 36th anniversary of the declaration of Sikh independence.
This initiative is from a few fringe elements who have no interest in the state of Connecticut, but promoting their own personal divisive agenda, said Thomas Abraham, chairman of the influential Global Organization of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO). Indian American community in Connecticut consists of Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and Parsis. All these communities live together as one Indian community and Connecticut state has no business to comment on issues pertaining to local issues in India or supporting fringe elements to promote their divisive agenda, Abraham said.
GOPIO has written to Connecticut State Senators and Assembly Representatives who introduced this citation to dissociate themselves from it. There are 20 million Sikhs living peacefully with all other communities all over India and this citation goes against the integrity of India, said Ashok Nichani, president of Connecticut chapter of GOPIO. The citation has resulted in outrage among Indian Americans with many of them urging President Joe Biden's administration to condemn it. Meanwhile, the Indian Consulate in New York condemned the citation and termed it an attempt by some mischievous elements to use the name of the Assembly for their nefarious purposes. These vested interests seek to divide communities and promote bigotry and hatred, the consulate said.

Think Driving an Electric Car Is Cheaper Than Gas? Think Again
Led by President Joe Biden, the left has launched an all-out effort to cajole Americans into buying electric vehicles under the claim that they offer a cost benefit for drivers.
But some EV drivers have discovered that governments have no intention of letting them enjoy their cost savings scot-free and massive new taxes await them after the switch.
The Biden administration has been pushing electric vehicles since his first days in office, and now that Biden’s disastrous energy policies have sent gasoline skyrocketing towards — and often over — $5 per gallon, claims that EVs are cheaper have convinced many Americans to “do the right thing” and buy a hybrid or electric vehicle.
But there is one warning about going electric that many have not heeded: As The Western Journal has noted, our various governments, local, state and federal, tax each gallon of gasoline, claiming that those tax dollars are needed to build and repair infrastructure, including roads.
But if Americans are going electric and no longer buying gas and therefore not paying the tax, it won’t just disappear. It will morph into a new tax. And taxes don’t generally make lateral moves. They always go up, rarely down.
Now, more than 30 states have already begun adding new taxes to their books tailored just for hybrid and electric car owners, to make up for the loss in gasoline tax revenue. And EV drivers are being struck with a brand new version of buyer’s remorse.
Kentucky for instance, is set to double the registration fees for hybrids and EVs because gas taxes won’t effect them, WPTV noted Friday.
Kentucky isn’t alone. At least 30 states have already enacted new taxes or raised fees on hybrid and electric vehicle owners, and 12 more were in the early stages of doing the same, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
“One growing policy trend is applying a separate registration fee for certain hybrid or electric vehicles. These fees come in addition to standard motor vehicle registration fees and proponents support the fees to bring equity among drivers by ensuring all drivers pay for using roadways,” the NCSL wrote late last year.
Other ways our various governments are considering to make up for the lost gas taxes is to charge taxes at charging stations, add higher fees to home electric bills, and even resorting to charging a per-mile vehicle tax.
Jack Marchbank, Ohio’s Director of Transportation, gave the familiar line that it isn’t fair to expect drivers of gas-powered vehicles to bear the brunt of road taxes while EV drivers get off scot-free.
“Up until this point if you were driving an EV or a hybrid to the extent that you are not using gasoline you were not helping support the system on which you depend,” Marchbank told WPTV.
While he certainly had a point, it will be a shock to EV drivers who go into their purchase imagining that they’ll be saving money only to find their fees skyrocketing even as they face brand new taxes.
The new registration fees range from $50 per year in Colorado, to a whopping $225 per year over the registration fees for of gas-powered cars in Hawaii. But, as is the habit of government, these taxes will continue to rise even as new taxes to replace the gas tax are devised.
But a raft of new taxes are not the only hidden costs to buying an electric vehicle.
In March, for instance, it was estimated that the price of lithium needed for EV batteries had soared 472 percent year-over-year.
Worse, a Ford Motors executive recently noted that the world doesn’t even have the resources and supply chain to push the bulk of Americans into EVs.
After Ford reported that it had lost $3.1 billion on its electric car gamble, Ford’s EV CEO RJ Scaringe noted that the world simply can’t meet the demand for EV battery packs.
“Put very simply, all the world’s cell production combined represents well under 10% of what we will need in 10 years,” Scaringe said last week, according to the Wall Street Journal. “Meaning, 90% to 95% of the supply chain does not exist.”
There is also the increasing costs of charging an EV to consider. It costs up to $2,000 to install a charging station in your home, according to Carvana. EV drivers will also have higher monthly home electric bills, too. And that isn’t even to mention the greater demand on the nation’s already delicate power grid to feed those power-hungry cars.
Repairs are also more costly on EVs than on gas-powered cars, according to Road Show News. The EV market is still so new that parts are more costly, and so are labor costs. Add in the fact that only a select few mechanics are even trained to repair EVs, and drivers will find the selection of repair shops fewer and farther between, and the labor costs higher due to supply and demand.
Presumably, this would even out in the coming years, but right now it is a costly concern.
All these hidden costs will cause many hybrid and electric vehicle owners to blanch at costs they never knew they were getting themselves in for when they heeded Joe Biden’s advice to go electric.

- Hyundai Motor expanded its NFT community at the fastest pace ever as 100,000 Discord members gathered in a week, selling out every 'Hyundai x Meta Kongz' NFT
- Hyundai Motor to issue 10,000 Ethereum-based Metamobility NFTs on its official website on May 9-10
- Launch to apply the 'Reveal' method by showing a placeholder image first, then revealing the actual 'Shooting Star' NFT images later
- Starting with the 'Shooting Star' NFTs sale, Hyundai Motor to create a NFT project within its 'Metamobility universe'
SEOUL, South Korea, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor Company will offer its first exclusive Metamobility Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collection, 'Shooting Star,' through its official NFT website, on May 9-10.
The 'Shooting Star' collection builds on the momentum created on April 18 when Hyundai Motor announced that it would become the first automaker to build a global NFT community.
For its NFT community, Hyundai Motor launched dedicated channels on Discord and Twitter as well as an official website that launched on May 2 to form an online community.
On May 9-10, Hyundai Motor will sell 10,000 official Ethereum-based 'Shooting Star' NFTs on its official NFT website. Pre-sale for whitelist buyers who won the NFT community event hosted by Hyundai Motor will be on May 9, followed by a general sale on May 10.
The sale of an NFT in the form of a shooting star will be followed by the latest film of 'Hyundai x Meta Kongz,' which ends with 'Kongz' finding a shooting star stuck in a Hyundai Pony windshield wiper.
Hyundai Motor's Metamobility NFT applies the 'Reveal' method, showing a placeholder image first, and then revealing the actual individual NFT images later. In other words, the 10,000 placeholder 'Shooting Star' NFTs will turn into unique Metamobility NFTs in various shapes in late May.
"Starting with our 'Shooting Star' NFTs, we are expanding the Hyundai brand experience into the 'Metamobility universe,' creating unique opportunities for our NFT community members to join in the fun," said Thomas Schemera, Hyundai Motor's Global Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Customer Experience Division. "We plan to launch more unique NFTs based on the 'Metamobility universe' concept and introduce more member benefits to expand the community going forward. We welcome everyone to be part of our experimental journey."

On April 26, the DOJ filed a federal complaint on behalf of the FTC against a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service, a related company, and its owner for allegedly facilitating the transmission of illegal telemarketing robocalls.
According to the complaint, the companies and owner assisted in the transmission of millions of robocalls, including calls that they knew or should have known were scams. Specifically, the company provided VoIP services despite knowing that its customers were delivering prerecorded messages and were displaying spoofed caller IDs in various scams, including scams related to the COVID-19 pandemic, tech support, and credit card interest rate reduction. Further allegations include that the company knew its customers were placing calls to numbers on the FTC's Do Not Call (DNC) Registry. Many of the robocalls originated overseas, and the company also allegedly failed to prevent the calls from reaching American consumers.
Under the FTC's proposed order to settle the complaint, the company would be required to implement a number of procedures and safeguards to prevent future violations of the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) during operations as a VoIP service provider. The provider would be required to:
- Stop facilitating abusive robocalling and telemarketing practices;
- Not engage in any future TSR violations, nor assist others in doing so;
- Terminate business relationships with customers found to be violating the TSR;
- Enact new procedures to block suspected robocalls; and
- Screen customers to ensure it is not providing VoIP services to suspected telemarketers and robocallers.
While the order includes a judgment of more than three million dollars, it has been suspended due to the company's financial status and inability to pay the penalty.
Putting it Into Practice: This is the latest in a string of instances in which the FTC tackles illegal telemarketing through the callers' VoIP services. This is the FTC's third case in two years against providers of VoIP services found to be facilitating illegal robocalls—it sued another company in December 2020 for knowingly facilitating robocalls that displayed "911" as the caller ID and dialed calls impersonating the Social Security Administration. In February 2022, two VoIP companies were ordered by California federal courts to turn over information that the FTC sought as part of an investigation into illegal telemarketing practices. The companies initially failed to comply with requests for information contained in civil investigative demands (CIDs) served by the FTC and were forced to comply when the FTC brought them to court. The FTC is aggressively pursuing illegal robocallers, and has demonstrated—again—that it will severely penalize VoIP companies who facilitate these calls and will not tolerate VoIP companies otherwise impeding its investigations.

EU plans to cut unneeded medical tests with data health plan
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
BRUSSELS, May 3 (Reuters) - The European Commission wants to make health data easier to access for patients, medics, regulators and researchers in a bid to improve diagnoses, cut unnecessary costs from duplication of medical tests and boost medicine research, an EU document says.
The document, seen by Reuters and to be published later on Tuesday, outlines the EU executive's plans for a European health data space which Brussels estimates would lead to large savings and economic gains of more than 10 billion euros ($10.51 billion) in 10 years.
EU patients spend 1.4 billion euros every year on unnecessary medical images alone, the document said, estimating that one in 10 X-rays or ultrasound tests are not needed because they are usually duplications of existing valid images.

Wider use of easily accessible electronic prescriptions is also estimated to lead to large savings by reducing errors in dispensing medicines. Many states still use paper prescriptions.
The proliferation of unneeded tests and prescribed drugs is caused mostly by problems in accessing health data, because often health information is not accessible to patients themselves and hospitals only partly share data with each other.
"People cannot always easily access their health data electronically, and if they want to consult doctors in more than one hospital or medical centre, they often cannot share the data with other health professionals," the document said.
The EU commission believes it could address the problem by making data more accessible to patients through the creation of databases which are freely accessible online.
EU health commissioner Stella Kyriakides has said easier access to health data would also greatly help patients with serious conditions, such as cancer, by improving diagnoses.
Under the plan, healthcare providers would be required to produce electronic health data that are interoperable.
Data generated from patients' health records and wellness apps would be pooled in compatible formats and made accessible to patients, regulators and researchers under strict rules to protect privacy, the document says. Stronger cybersecurity is also planned.
The Commission estimates that easier access to anonymised health records for analysts and data professionals could lead to 5.4 billion euros in economic gains in a decade thanks to more effective research and cheaper drugs.
Another 5.5 billion euros in gains would come from savings for patients and healthcare providers, and from "faster growth of the digital health and wellness applications markets".

Which dinnerware set is best?
An essential part of every kitchen, dinnerware is what allows you to enjoy your meals to the fullest. The best dinnerware set not only provides functionality to the dinner table, or wherever you may dine, but also aesthetics and personalization.
This Mikasa 40-Piece Set is an elegant and comprehensive set that champions quality material and longevity. However, the right dinnerware set caters to personal needs, varying in look, durability and price.
What to know before you buy a dinnerware set
Dinnerware set pieces
The basic dinnerware set consists of four pieces: dinner plate, salad plate, soup bowl and mug. The dinner plate is the largest item, designed for your main course. The salad plate is a matching smaller piece that may be used for salads or other appetizers. While most salad plates are flat, some may be slightly depressed.
Soup bowls tend to be small, similar to salad plates but have steeper sides. Lastly, a mug serves as a generic beverage vessel, though tends to be geared toward coffee or tea. In some cases, the mug may be omitted from the collection, resulting in a three-piece set.
Number of settings
Settings refer to the number of people each collection serves. You typically have the option of buying a single setting for a lone person, a four-person setting for the average household or an eight- or 12-person setting for more elaborate affairs.
Unfortunately, most collections don’t feature odd numbers, so in order for everyone eating to match, you’ll have to purchase more than you may need.
Size and shape
Consider size and shape, because not all dinnerware sets are crafted equally. Larger options push aesthetics as much as functionally, as they look to highlight your meal, while smaller sets are best for those with more compact kitchens, cabinets and cupboards.
Dinnerware sets may vary in shape. Keep in mind that circular items tend to be less efficient when it comes to storage than square or rectangular pieces. Note not just the length or diameter, but the depth as well, which will influence stacking in a cabinet.
What to look for in a quality dinnerware set
Material
Material influences longevity, weight, ease of cleaning and overall quality. The most common materials used for dinnerware are stoneware, porcelain and bone china.
- Stoneware is popular for its aesthetic and durability; it tends to be thick and sturdy and allows for various colors and textures to be imprinted.
- Porcelain is a finer ceramic that is typically white in color. It’s also rather expensive.
- Bone china is used in the most elegant and expensive dinnerware. It may be plain or ornately decorated and comes with a lengthy life span.
Color and design
Dinnerware sets can match your style and personal style with various colors, patterns and other designs available. Basic solid colors are most common and are useful for a variety of occasions. Those with ornate or complex designs and patterns tend to be reversed for more formal affairs.
Extra components
More elaborate sets include extra pieces and additional useful dining components, such as an added plate, bowl or saucer for your mug. Large sets may also offer serveware.
Versatility
Depending on the material, some dinnerware may be safe for use in the dishwasher, microwave, oven or freezer. Some may be suitable up to a certain temperature, so check the limitations and work within them.
How much you can expect to spend on a dinnerware set
You can typically expect to pay between $15-$30 per setting, with a slight price break when you buy a larger set. Material and design will influence price, with high-end options costing up to $40 per serving.
Dinnerware set FAQ
What’s the difference between dinnerware, serveware and flatware?
A. Dinnerware involves the plates and bowls that an individual eats from directly. Serveware, meanwhile, is more communal. These are the bowls and plates where the meal in its entirety is placed; each individual serves their own portion from the serveware. Lastly, flatware comprises the utensils you eat with; your knife, spoon and fork.
How do I store and care for my dinnerware?
A. Quality dinnerware is an investment, and it’s important to employ best care practices. While most materials are dishwasher friendly, they are still subject to the quality of your dishwasher; chemicals can wear down the material over time while any moving items within the unit can damage the surface. As such, it’s recommended to wash high-end dinnerware by hand. Similarly, high-quality material should also be dried by hand and stored delicately. Be mindful when stacking so as not to chip any material.
Dinnerware that is used regularly can be stored in a convenient cupboard, while fine China used for special occasions may require a special storage cabinet where it is less exposed.

Ottawa police officer accused of sexual assault a second time
WARNING: This article contains details of abuse.
An Ottawa police constable in the middle of a disciplinary hearing for allegedly sexually assaulting a rookie officer in 2011 has been criminally charged with sexually assaulting another woman, CBC News has learned.
The new criminal charges come while Ottawa police misconduct detectives are also investigating the alleged online harassment of witnesses and the alleged use of an anonymous Twitter account to derail Const. Kevin Benloss's disciplinary hearing — allegations that police believe Benloss himself is part of.
The force announced Friday the criminal charges against Benloss — sexual assault, assault, voyeurism and criminal harassment — but chose not to name the accused officer "in order to protect the victim's privacy," police said. The complainant is a former girlfriend who reported the allegations to police earlier this year.
Police allege Benloss sexually assaulted the former girlfriend in 2014, assaulted her in February of this year, filmed her without her consent and criminally harassed her over a period of about eight years.
CBC News has also learned Ottawa police last week executed multiple search warrants alleging they expected to find evidence of other criminal offences.
All of those allegations are, according to sources, related to the operation of a now-deleted anonymous Twitter account during Benloss's disciplinary hearing. The account itself was created in February 2021, but was tweeting in support of Benloss during his disciplinary hearing.
The warrants to search their electronic devices were executed on Benloss and two former Ottawa police officers last week, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation. CBC News is not naming the other former police because they have not been charged with any related offences.
Ongoing disciplinary hearing for alleged sexual assault of police officer
Benloss began a virtual disciplinary hearing earlier this year for misconduct offences that were laid after the first allegation of sexual assault was made against him. Those charges were laid in November 2020. The force is seeking his dismissal.
The service has alleged that Benloss acted in a manner likely to bring discredit on or harm the reputation of the service when on March 13, 2011, he "engaged in communication and/or physical and/or sexual contact towards a sworn member … that you ought to have known was unwelcome, unwanted, offensive, intimidating, hostile or inappropriate."
He was also charged with one count of insubordination for allegedly breaching the force's respectful workplace policy, which governs how employees must treat each other.
The disciplinary tribunal has heard from police and civilian witnesses in the misconduct case, including the complainant. The hearing has been marked by tense exchanges between the police prosecutors and Benloss's defence lawyer in the case, outbursts by the complainant and distractions introduced by hearing observers either supporting Benloss or the complainant.
In a human rights complaint she originally filed against the entire police service and in her testimony, the woman alleged Benloss sexually assaulted her at his house when she was a rookie after a night out drinking with other police officers.
Benloss's defence lawyer, Peter Thorning, has instead argued that the sexual encounter was consensual and that the complainant created a narrative of sexual assault after the fact.
"I need to take a break because right now I'm going to kill this f-----g guy," she yelled minutes into her cross-examination, before she stormed out of the room in which she was being questioned about her work history.
The woman, who has been diagnosed with PTSD and remains off work, told the hearing when she returned: "I'm not as experienced of a police officer as you may think. I get angry when I talk about my career."
Benloss has been suspended with pay since September 2020. He has been released on a promise to appear in criminal court on the new charges against him.
His police disciplinary hearing is scheduled to resume on Friday.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia University is receiving $11 million in federal dollars for research on treating and slowing the progression of incurable eye diseases.
West Virginia has the second-highest rate of visual disability in the U.S., according to a university news release. A visual disability is a disability that cannot be treated with corrective glasses.
“The idea is to think collaboratively,” West Virginia University biochemistry Chair Visvanathan Ramamurthy said. “How can we make change? How can we translate our basic science findings to clinical practice that helps people?"
University project leaders will receive three years of mentorship from senior scientists and experts around the country. Eight undergraduate students will participate in a vision science research program each summer.
West Virginia University is the second in the U.S. to receive a grant from the National Institutes of Health to fund a visual-sciences Center of Biomedical Research Excellence. The $11 million was awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, a program of the National Institutes of Health. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/WVU-receiving-11M-for-research-on-visual-17143612.php | 2022-05-03T08:30:01Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/WVU-receiving-11M-for-research-on-visual-17143612.php | true | 12 |

Cala Homes' Builyeon Road site lies between the Queensferry Crossing and Forth Road Bridge approaches. Family-owned civil engineering contractor I&H Brown has been been appointed by Cala to undertake the bulk earthworks, which are expected to be complete by the end of this year. Drainage and infrastructure works for the main spine road are forecast to be completed next March.
The 44ha development of 980 homes also has provision for a new primary school, a care home and commercial units including a food store, restaurants and fuel filling station.
Total Section 75 (planning gain) contributions by Cala for the Builyeon Road site will exceed £11m. Cala’s nearby Queensferry Heights development will see a further £2.5 million raised through Section 75 payments.
Derek Lawson, strategic land director with Cala Homes (East), said: “It is fair to say this project has been a long time in the making and we are pleased to reach this important milestone and to push forward in providing much needed homes and community facilities for South Queensferry.”
Duncan Brown, director with I&H Brown, said: “We are delighted to be working with Cala Homes to deliver the infrastructure at their major Builyeon Road development in South Queensferry. Our involvement follows extensive community engagement by Cala Homes to design the masterplan and we are excited to help them realise their vision for the site.”
The development designs were crafted following online consultations and engagement with the local community, guided by the Queensferry & District Community Council (QDCC).
QDCC chair Keith Giblett said: “After many years of uncertainty, it is great to see the site work starting. We’ll be continuing our intensive engagement with Cala. We also look forward to finding out how the local authority will allocate the considerable funds that this site will generate through planning gain payments.”

Jewellers expect business of up to 30 tonne
The auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya has begun on a strong note as jewellers are witnessing good footfalls and being a public holiday on Tuesday, consumers are flocking to the stores early before the temperature soars.
"Jewellers across the country have opened their stores early across the country and there is a strong momentum in footfalls since morning. There has been positive sentiment in the market since the last 10-15 days and we expect it to continue on the day of Akshaya Tritiya. We expect to do 25-30 tonne business on this auspicious day," All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council Vice Chairman Shyam Mehra told PTI.
Asked if the high prices will become a hurdle on sales on this Akshaya Tritiya, he said, gold prices have come down to around ₹50,500 per 10 gram from ₹55,000-58,000 per 10 gram, giving boost to consumer sentiment.
"It usually takes around 10-15 days for people to accept price movement. And since the prices have come down, there is generally a positive sentiment in the market, which is expecting gold prices to rise going forward. This will also help boost sales," he added.
Echoing similar views, PNG Jewellers managing director and CEO Saurabh Gadgil said footfalls are strong and are expected to grow as the day progresses for the next one to two hours.
"We are expecting a good number of people before it becomes too hot in the afternoon. This will again pick up in the evening as the temperature cools down. Being a bank holiday, footfalls are not restricted to office hours and people are coming to the stores at their ease," he added.
Kalyan Jewellers Executive Director Ramesh Kalyanaraman said gold-buying as a tradition has been an integral part of Akshaya Tritiya and this coupled with the ongoing wedding season, has created a positive market sentiment.
"Though earlier Akshaya Tritiya was more of a South and East centric occasion, we are now seeing it being celebrated at a pan-India level. After two years of lockdown or partial lockdown, this year 100 per cent of our showrooms are operational. Offline purchases still account for a significant majority of sales for the jewellery industry, and we are expecting robust customer footfalls across our showrooms," he added.
This Akshaya Tritiya will be fruitful for the industry, setting new milestones with respect to demand for gold jewellery, he added.
CaratLane COO and co-founder Avnish Anand, on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya, said with the consumer sentiment improving with each passing day, the purchasing capacity of the Indian market has increased this year due to the pent-up demand for the season.
CaratLane is definitely expecting a significant growth in terms of traffic, footfalls and conversions this Akshaya Tritiya owing to not just the pent-up demand but also due to its digital first omni channel strategy, which increases the efficiency of the consumers both online and offline, he said.
"Additionally, the traffic is expected to grow by 11 per cent and average selling price (ASP) has grown by 23 per cent since February 2022, which was another good season for us,” he added.

SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Muslims across India marked Eid al-Fitr on Tuesday by offering prayers outside mosques, even as the celebrations this year came in the backdrop of a series of recent attacks against the community during the month of Ramadan.
“We will not have the same kind of festivity” this time, said Mohammad Habeeb ur Rehman, a civil engineer in India's financial capital, Mumbai. “This is the most painful Eid with worst memories for Indian Muslims,” he added.
Anti-Muslim sentiment and attacks have surged across the country in the last month, including stone throwing between Hindu and Muslim groups during religious processions and subsequent demolitions of a number of properties mostly belonging to Muslims by authorities.
The community, which makes up 14% of India's 1.4 billion population, is reeling from vilification by hard-line Hindu nationalists who have long espoused an anti-Muslim stance. Some leaders of India's ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party have tacitly supported the violence, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi has so far been silent about it.
Eid al-Fitr is typically marked with communal prayers, celebratory gatherings around festive meals and new clothes, but celebrations in India for the past two years have been marred by COVID-19 restrictions.
In Indian-controlled Kashmir, the Muslim festival has been subdued for the past three years because of an unprecedented military lockdown after India stripped the region’s semi-autonomy in 2019, followed by the pandemic. The region also saw a rise in violence during Ramadan, with at least 20 militants, two civilians and five police and soldiers killed.
“As we prepare to celebrate Eid, a strong sense of collective loss jars at us,” said Bashir Ahmed, a businessman in Srinagar.
Kashmir is the Muslim-majority disputed region where a violent insurgency against Indian rule and New Delhi’s brutal crackdown has raged for over three decades. Tens of thousands of people have died in the conflict.
Meanwhile in the capital, New Delhi, hundreds assembled in the Jama Masjid, one of India’s largest mosques, while offering Eid prayers there for the first time in over two years due to pandemic restrictions. Families came together early on Tuesday morning while many people shared hugs and wishes.
Mohammed Hamid, a software engineer, said he was grateful to be offering prayers at the mosque again.
"It's a good feeling because there was a lockdown for the past two years. With the grace of God, we are able to offer Eid prayers here with the children and we are thankful,” Hamid said.
The mood was cheerful in neighboring Bangladesh as millions traveled from the cities to towns and villages over the weekend to celebrate Eid. Huge crowds were seen in capital Dhaka's main Kamalapur Railway Station and bus terminals.
Like in India, Eid celebrations in Bangladesh for the last two years have been muted due to the pandemic. But this year, the government hasn't imposed restrictions, instead advising people to follow basic health protocols.
Khaleda Akter, a garment worker in Dhaka, said she was going to be traveling to her village and was excited to celebrate with her parents.
“I am very glad that this year we can travel without any trouble,” she said.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A federal appeals court is next up to weigh whether North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn's candidacy this year can be challenged by voters based on a section of the Constitution addressing insurrection.
A 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel in Virginia scheduled arguments for Tuesday in a lawsuit the first-term Republican congressman filed.
A District Court judge in March agreed with Cawthorn and prevented the State Board of Elections from formally examining whether he should stay off the ballot based on his involvement with the rally that preceded the U.S. Capitol riot in January 2021.
The judge ruled an 1872 law prevented current members of Congress from being subject to disqualifications that would have otherwise kept them out of office. Registered voters disagreed and appealed. Cawthorn is running in the May 17 primary.
Similar challenges have been filed in other states. A Georgia state judge recently heard testimony from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Rep-Cawthorn-candidacy-challenge-gets-appeals-17143611.php | 2022-05-03T08:49:51Z | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Rep-Cawthorn-candidacy-challenge-gets-appeals-17143611.php | false | 16 |
National has shot up to 40.5 percent support, up 9.5 points in tonight's Newshub-Reid Research poll.
Labour meanwhile has dropped 6.1 points to 38.2 percent.
Act has dropped 1.6 points to 6.4 percent and the Green Party is down 1.2 points to 8.4 percent.
Te Pāti Māori has increased its share of the vote by 0.5 points to 2.5 percent.
Of the parties outside Parliament, NZ First was on 1.7 percent, The Opportunities Party 0.9 percent and Conservative Party 0.7 percent.
The numbers would give National 51 seats and Act 8, still short of the 61 required to form a majority in 120-seat House.
Labour would get 48 seats and Green Party 10, also not enough to get back into power.
If Te Pāti Māori held Waiariki it would get three seats, and occupy the kingmaker position.
For preferred prime minister, Jacinda Ardern experienced a seven point drop to 36.3 percent.
National leader Christopher Luxon meanwhile saw a 6.1 point bump to 23.9 percent.
However, despite National polling highest it would not be able to form a government, with Te Pāti Māori continuing to rule out working with the Act Party.
Ardern told Newshub the results reflected a "really hard time".
The poll results came as Newshub also revealed the majority of Kiwis wanted the Government to do more to address the cost of living.
Asked if they thought the Government was doing enough to address the "cost of living crisis", 15.2 percent said "yes" and 77 percent "no".
Just over a quarter, 26.6 percent, of Labour voters said they thought the Government had done enough, while 60.1 percent said it hadn't.
The Newshub-Reid Research poll was conducted from April 18 to 27, and had a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percent.
Recent polls have placed National slightly above Labour, the last one in April by Taxpayers' Union-Curia put the Opposition one point ahead.
This followed a 1News-Kantar poll in March that had National on 39 percent and Labour 37 percent. It was the first time National has been ahead of Labour since February 2020, a month before the Covid 19 pandemic tore through the world and New Zealand was plunged into lockdown.
The Taxpayers' Union-Curia poll in April had National climb 2.5 points to 37.8 percent, just 1 point ahead of Labour, which was on 36.8 percent, up 0.6 points.
The Greens came in next on 9.4 percent, down 3 points. Act also fell, down 2.8 points to 8.4 percent.
Te Pāti Māori meanwhile surged 3.5 points to 3.6 percent.
On those numbers the Labour-Green bloc would have 58 seats, 46 for Labour and 12 for the Greens.
That would put them ahead of National and Act, who would have 57 seats, 47 for National and 10 for Act.
This would make Te Pāti Māori kingmaker. They would have 5 seats, giving them the balance of power. | https://www.odt.co.nz/star-news/star-national/national-continues-rise-over-labour-latest-poll | 2022-05-03T08:50:43Z | https://www.odt.co.nz/star-news/star-national/national-continues-rise-over-labour-latest-poll | true | 5 |

‘Pod living’ sees 14 people living in one home for cheaper rent
PALO ALTO, Calif. (KGO) - As rent in parts of the United States becomes out of reach for some, a new concept in California is gaining traction. “Pod living” allows for multiple people to share one home.
The rent for a three-bedroom, two-bath house in Palo Alto, California, could easily run $6,000 to $8,000. But the 14 residents are only paying $800 per month. While they share the kitchen and other spaces, each resident sleeps in a pod a bit larger than a twin bed.
“Our pods are actually eight feet tall, so it gives enough room for bigger people and also some wiggle room, so they’re not like the Japanese capsules. They’re a little bit larger,” said Christina Lennox, the co-founder of Brownstone Shared Housing.
She designed the pods and said she can cocoon in one all day. Each pod is outfitted with a temperature-controlled fan, lighting, a fold-down desk and any personal touches an individual wants to add.
Lennox and co-founder James Stallworth wanted to address the need for affordable housing. They tried to do this in New York but ran into objections. However, Palo Alto doesn’t set a limit on renters in a single-family house. They also found a cooperative landlord.
“We told them about our concept and the benefits of it and how it would help people, and the landlord was interested,” Stallworth said.
The residents are all in their 20s, getting started in their careers or doing internships.
Luis Alsonso, a resident from Peru, loves having access to the kitchen. He says sleeping in a pod is fine.
“For me, I don’t need a big space. Every night, when I go to sleep, I need just one bed,” he said.
In a year, the idea for pod living went from a concept to affordable housing for 20 at two sites, financed mostly by savings and family.
“I don’t mind depleting my savings like this, as long as I’m able to bring this to the world. That’s all I really care about,” Lennox said.
The shared housing company is also operating in Bakersfield. They’re hoping to take their concept nationwide.

O'Sullivan sees off Trump to win seventh snooker world title
Ronnie O’Sullivan equalled Stephen Hendry’s modern-day record of seven snooker World Championship titles by stopping a Judd Trump rally in its tracks with an 18-13 win in the final on Monday.
The showpiece match at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre was in the balance when the evening session started, with O’Sullivan leading 14-11 in the best of 35-frame contest after 2019 world champion Trump had bounced back from 12-5 down overnight.
But having lost his first session of the tournament, O’Sullivan, at 46, the oldest World Championship finalist since mentor Ray Reardon in 1982, surged ahead before sealing victory with a break of 85.
A sporting O’Sullivan, nicknamed the ‘Rocket’ for his speed round the table and widely regarded as the most naturally talented player in snooker history, paid tribute to Trump by saying his opponent was already an “all-time great” because of his attacking approach.
He then played down his achievement in matching Hendry’s tally of world titles by telling the BBC: “I’ve never bothered about records — when you get them, it’s kind of nice, I’ve never performed well if going for that, I’ve just tried to enjoy my game.
“I don’t have targets… I like to win but it’s not the be-all and end-all.
“The Crucible brings out the worst in me — it’s probably not the best idea but we’ll probably go again next year!”
Monday’s triumph came 21 years after O’Sullivan first won the world title with Hendry, now a television commentator, saying: “He’s taken the game to new levels, he really has. He’s got it all.”
‘Best player of all time’
It was a point endorsed by Trump, who said of O’Sullivan: “It’s been a pleasure to share a table with him. It’s an amazing achievement and he’s the best player of all time.”
The 32-year-old left-hander added, modestly: “I was just glad to make a match out of it.”
Trump’s hopes of completing what would have been an astounding comeback were effectively ended within minutes of the start of the concluding session in this all-English clash as O’Sullivan rattled in breaks of 82 and 88 in a matter of minutes to move within two frames of victory.
Trump, however, stopped the rot with a break of 64, although O’Sullivan was still 16-12 ahead.
But the next frame saw O’Sullivan produce a break of 75 to leave him just one frame away from glory following the mid-session interval.
Trump was first in come the next frame and had the better of a safety exchange before an excellent break of 109 — which broke the previous Crucible tournament record of 108 — prolonged the contest.
But he ‘jawed’ an attempted pot in the next and O’Sullivan, after a brief safety exchange, made light of a tough red along the cushion to spark a match-clinching contribution.
Sunday’s play had been notable for a row between O’Sullivan and referee Olivier Marteel — an unusual flare-up in the normally sedate world of snooker.
Marteel accused O’Sullivan of making an obscene gesture after failing to get out of a snooker in the eighth frame.
That led O’Sullivan to challenge Marteel by telling the Belgian official he “saw nothing”.
O’Sullivan, who had been 5-1 up, lost the next two frames and at the end of the session left the arena without offering the traditional handshake to the referee.
The World Snooker Tour subsequently said O’Sullivan had been issued with a formal warning by Marteel.
O’Sullivan, however, tried to quell any controversy by offering a fist bump to Marteel at the start of Sunday’s evening session, which he then dominated to establish a seven-frame lead that left Trump with a mountain to climb.

A District Court judge in March agreed with Cawthorn and prevented the State Board of Elections from formally examining whether he should stay off the ballot based on his involvement with the rally that preceded the U.S. Capitol riot in January 2021.
The judge ruled an 1872 law prevented current members of Congress from being subject to disqualifications that would have otherwise kept them out of office. Registered voters disagreed and appealed. Cawthorn is running in the May 17 primary.
Similar challenges have been filed in other states. A Georgia state judge recently heard testimony from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Rep-Cawthorn-candidacy-challenge-gets-appeals-17143611.php | 2022-05-03T09:03:52Z | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Rep-Cawthorn-candidacy-challenge-gets-appeals-17143611.php | true | 16 |

A new month in Pokemon GO comes with a new team of Pokemon for Team GO Rocket's Admin Leaders, Arlo, Cliff, and Sierra. These three villainous Team GO Rocket members provide challenging battles for players daring enough to seek them out. They also reward victorious players with rare Shadow Pokemon.
Many players seek out repeated battles with these trainers to grind these rewarded Shadow Pokemon, which they can later evolve and use in battle. However, the player will need a good strategy to be successful in these battles.
Rather than opting for the turn-based combat system of previous Pokemon titles, Pokemon GO has a real-time action battle system that responds to the player's actions on the screen. If the player taps on their screen, their Pokemon attacks. However, this system is more complex than it sounds.
Potential strategies for battling Arlo in Pokemon GO
To challenge any of GO Rocket's leaders, players will need to construct a Rocket Radar. These can be made with six of the mysterious components dropped by Team GO Rocket grunts once they are defeated. These members of Team GO Rocket can be found in Hot Air Balloons or at marked Pokestops.
While Arlo's team changes almost every month, the Shadow Pokemon he rewards the player with usually remains constant for a few months. Players who defeat Arlo in battle will be rewarded with a Shadow Exeggcute and a 12-kilometer egg that players can hatch into some of Pokemon GO's most rare Pokemon.
Arlo's potential battle party in May 2022
Stage 1: Exeggcute
All of Team GO Rocket's leaders will begin the battle with the Shadow Pokemon they reward the player with. More often than not, this Shadow Pokemon will be the base form of a more powerful Pokemon, and players can easily breeze through this stage of every battle with any Team GO Rocket Leader.
Exeggcute is a Grass and Psychic-type Pokemon. Both types share a common weakness to Bug-type attacks. With the recent rework of Mega Evolutions in Pokemon GO, players are encouraged to experiment with the mechanic during this battle. Mega Beedrill is an excellent choice for this fight.
Stage 2: Dragonite, Salamence, or Alolan Exeggutor
For the next stage of the fight, one definitive type works best. These Pokemon all belong to the Dragon-type. As an added bonus, each of the secondary types for these Pokemon also share a common weakness with the Dragon typing. This means that one type of attack can easily beat this stage.
Ice-type attacks are the best possible option for this stage of the battle. The best Ice-type Pokemon to bring is Galarian Darmanitan. The Pokemon's great stats and powerful Ice-type attacks make it the best possible option to use for this stage of the battle.
Stage 3: Steelix, Scizor, or Gardevoir
This stage of the fight will likely be the most difficult for some players. Due to the Steel typing being notorious for being the best defensive typing in the franchise, Pokemon GO players may have trouble getting through it. However, a powerful Fire-type (like Heatran or Mega Charizard Y) can be a valuable asset.
While that helps the player get through Steelix and Scizor, it could fail to be useful if Arlo has Gardevoir for this fight. In that case, Mega Beedrill is the better option. Gardevoir is a Psychic and Fairy-type Pokemon. This means it is weak against Poison and Bug-type attacks, and Mega Beedrill has attacks that belong to both types.
To construct the best-performing team for this fight, the player has a couple of options. Galarian Darmanitan is highly recommended if the player has it. Either Mega Charizard Y or Mega Beedrill should be used as well. Depending on which Mega Evolution is chosen, another Fire or Poison-type should also be used. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pokemon/arlo-counters-weaknesses-pokemon-go-may-2022 | 2022-05-03T09:10:05Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pokemon/arlo-counters-weaknesses-pokemon-go-may-2022 | true | 1 |

Modern pentathlon’s governing body (UIPM) said it has selected two variations of obstacle racing for testing from more than 60 options as it looks to replace the equestrian element in the sport from the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The UIPM had said in November it would determine a suitable replacement for equestrianism through a consultation process.
That decision came after German coach Kim Raisner struck a horse at last year’s Tokyo Games when it refused to jump a fence, which led to widespread criticism of the sport.
“The UIPM executive board decided to test the combination of the obstacle discipline alongside fencing, swimming and the laser run," the governing body said in a statement.
IPL FULL COVERAGE | SCHEDULE | RESULTS | ORANGE CAP | PURPLE CAP
“Testing will begin immediately after the 2022 Pentathlon World Cup Final in Ankara in late June. Following comprehensive testing, the final decision will be taken by the UIPM Congress."
Modern pentathlon has been an Olympic sport since 1912 and features five events: fencing, swimming, equestrian show jumping, pistol shooting and cross-country running.
Pentathlon United has opposed the move to remove equestrianism, and its representatives wrote to International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach on Sunday asking him to intervene, saying the UIPM’s consultation process had been “illusory at best".
However, the UIPM said athletes had played a central role in the process and Athletes Committee chairman Yasser Hefny, who led a focus group of 26 competitors from 22 nations, said that they were on the verge of a landmark decision.
“I believe the New 5th Discipline Working Group has been thorough in evaluating the options put forward by our community, using internal and external expertise to good effect," said Hefny.
“While we still have specifics to finalise, we have a new and exceptional opportunity to grow and give visibility to our sport for the benefit of many generations to come, and that’s very exciting."

Which baking sheet set is best?
Baking sheets are an essential part of any home kitchen. They provide a versatile flat surface for everyday baking and cooking. Beyond desserts, they offer an easy way to reheat and cook many types of foods.
When you buy baking sheets in a set, you can often get more pans or varying sizes for less than buying them one at a time. If you’re looking for the best quality baking sheet set at a reasonable price, the Nucu Artisan Professional Classic Aluminum Baking Sheet Pan Set is the top choice.
What to know before you buy a baking sheet set
The most important thing to consider when choosing between baking sheet sets is the material of the pans and whether they fit in your home oven.
Materials
Stainless steel is commonly used for small appliances and cookware, but other materials conduct heat better, so baking sheets are not ideal. However, it is corrosion-resistant and dishwasher-safe.
Aluminum is a cheap option and conducts heat very well, making it a great choice for an affordable baking sheet set. It’s also resistant to rust. Since aluminum is reactive, it can change the flavor of acidic foods and those foods that may also discolor the sheet. Remember that you cannot wash aluminum sheets in the dishwasher because strong detergents leave a chalky residue.
If you’re looking for the pros of an aluminum sheet but want something more durable, anodized aluminum may be the right choice. Anodizing bulks up the thickness of the sheet’s natural oxide layer through electrochemical processing. These sheets are stronger and are less prone to scratching than regular aluminum sheets. Since the treated metal is much darker than other baking sheets, keep an eye on baked goods to prevent them from browning.
Carbon steel sheets are darker and generally feature a protective coating of oil or wax. They can withstand higher temperatures and acclimate to temperature changes for different baking needs. Avoid soaking them in water, and know that they’re not dishwasher safe.
Aluminized steel combines the strength of steel with the heat conductivity of aluminum. These sheets bake evenly and resist corrosion. As is the case with aluminum coatings, they may oxidize if you cook or bake with acidic foods. Avoid the dishwasher to help them last longer.
Size
Most home bakers and cooks are familiar with half sheets, quarter sheets and jelly roll baking sheets. They may also have smaller eighth sheets for smaller bakes. Full baking sheets aren’t meant for home cooks since they’re built to fit in commercial kitchens. Measure the inside of your oven to know what size sheet fits best. Consider leaving enough room between the oven wall and the sides of the pan so air can flow around it for an even bake.
What to look for in a quality baking sheet set
When deciding between baking sheet sets, consider what you bake and cook to help determine which features work best for your kitchen needs.
Rim
There are baking sheets with and without rims. If you’re baking or cooking anything runny, gooey or brushed with oil, buy baking sheets with rims to contain the overspill. Thick, reinforced rims perform better under high temperatures since thin rims can bend and twist in the oven, leaving your pan unlevel.
Rimless baking sheets make it easy for air to flow around the baked goods so they brown more quickly. The flat edging also makes it easier to slide your goods onto a cooling rack. Most rimless sheets have one side with a rim to grip.
Surface
Some baking sheets have a treated or textured surface to prevent sticking and improve cooking outcomes.
Textured surfaces help remove food by reducing the surface area that touches the pan. They also help airflow around the food, baking food faster.
Oil and wax coatings on carbon steel pans prevent sticking and get thicker over time. Other nonstick pans can use ceramic, silicone or chemical-based finishes. These pans tend to produce flatter cookies and bake more quickly with darker finishes.
Insulation
Insulated baking sheets work the same way an insulated tumbler or mug works. They use air pockets inside the pan to help distribute heat evenly. However, because air needs to flow across and around more areas, they tend to increase the baking time.
How much you can expect to spend on a baking sheet set
Baking sheet sets can cost between $15-$60, depending on the material and quantity.
Baking sheet set FAQ
Can I use my metal baking sheet in the broiler?
A. Possibly. The broiler uses higher heat than recipes that use the oven. It often gets up to 550 degrees in the broiler. Metal expands when it’s exposed to high temperatures, but the bottom of the sheet will expand at a different rate than the rims since it’s in direct contact with the metal bars. Thin sheets will warp or bend and twist with repeated use. If they warp too much, they can crack. Thicker sheets with reinforced rims will hold up better in the broiler.
What size baking sheet do I need?
A. A half sheet works best for most ovens, measuring 18 inches by 13 inches. These are the typical baking sheets you’ll use to roast vegetables, bake cookies and reheat frozen goods. Having multiple half sheets on hand is convenient if you want to bake or reheat multiple types of food at once.
Should I bake with parchment paper or silicone liners?
A. Possibly. They can help protect your baking sheets from discoloration and oxidation. However, baked goods may bake more slowly and turn out less browned if they don’t contact the metal surface of the pan. If you opt for parchment paper, look for compostable paper that doesn’t contain Teflon for an eco-friendly alternative.

Nair appreciated her efforts and wrote, “When it comes passion, dedication, staying focused and most importantly giving the best when it comes to fitness and exercise — and we love those kind of people … @palaktiwarii you are diamond and we love teaching you and training you…”
In an earlier post on Facebook, Nair had said, “Pilates is an innovative and safe system of mind-body exercise using a floor mat or a variety of equipment. Pilates can dramatically transform the way your body looks, feels and performs. Pilates builds strength, (and is) capable of creating a sleek, toned body with slender thighs and a flat abdomen.”
For the unversed, Pilates exercises are designed to be rhythmic and dynamic in nature. Hence, establishing a set breathing pattern while practicing Pilates helps to recruit every tiny little muscle in the body, making it a full-body workout.

The Indian Army inducted three new wheeled armoured vehicles on April 12, 2022. At a function organised at the Bombay Engineers Group in Pune, Army Chief General MM Naravane inducted the first set of indigenously developed Quick Reaction Fighting Vehicle Medium (QRFV), Infantry Protected Mobility Vehicle (IPMV) and Ultra Long Range Observation System, all developed by Tata Advanced System Limited (TASL) along with Monocoque Hull Multi Role Mine Protected Armoured Vehicle developed by Bharat Forge. The Army Chief stated that “the induction of these indigenously developed systems by TASL and Bharat Forge would greatly enhance the operational capabilities of the Indian Army in future conflicts”.
The IPMV is based on the TASL 8×8 Wheeled Armoured Platform (WhAP) jointly developed with DRDO. WhAP is described as India’s first amphibious wheeled infantry combat vehicle. IPMV has some notable differences with WhAP, including a larger driver optics and the absence of pumpjets for amphibious roles. IPMV is equipped with a 7.62x51mm remote weapon station. The first lot consisted of six vehicles. A 2019 RfI by the Army had looked at procuring 198 8×8 wheeled armoured vehicles for various roles. WhAP is expected to be ordered in larger quantities to fulfil such requirements. The QRFV is the TASL 4×4 Mine protected Armoured Personnel Carrier. It has blast protection of up to 21kg of TNT. It can carry 14 personnel including the driver and commander.
Quick Reaction Fighting Vehicle Medium (QRFV), also called 4×4 Armoured Personnel Carrier with Mine Protection (TASL)
The Monocoque Hull Multi Role Mine Protected Armoured Vehicle is the Kalyani M4 by Bharat Forge, which is based on Paramount Group’s Mbombe 4 vehicle. 27 of these high mobility vehicles had been ordered in February 2021 at a cost of Rs 177.95 crores. It can seat a total of 10 personnel. It can withstand under body blasts of up to 10kg of TNT. The Kalyani M4 was tested extensively in Ladakh by the Indian Army. The Army also inducted the TASL Rajak Ultra Long Range Observation System. It can detect human targets up to 18km and vehicles up to 26km during both day and night.
The induction of these vehicles are part of the Indian Army’s effort to improve the mobility and protection of its frontline units. An order for 1,300 Mahindra Armoured Light Specialist Vehicles (ALSV), placed in March 2021, is also set to commence deliveries. The Mahindra ALSV had faced competition from similar offerings by Tata and Kalyani. Another major Indian defence automotive firm, Ashok Leyland, has supplied new Light Bullet Proof Vehicles (LBPV) to the Indian Air Force since April 2021. https://www.overtdefense.com/2022/04/18/indian-army-inducts-multiple-wheeled-armoured-vehicles/ | https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/indian-army-inducts-multiple-wheeled-armoured-vehicles.741443/ | 2022-05-03T09:57:00Z | https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/indian-army-inducts-multiple-wheeled-armoured-vehicles.741443/ | false | 1 |
Women’s lives will be collateral damage if Roe v Wade is overturned
Poorer women who cannot afford to travel to other states for health support will fall victim to an ideological agenda that has long denied them control over their own bodies
The United States Supreme Court looks set to strike down a previous ruling giving women the right to an abortion, according to a leaked report – sparking a fierce battle over women’s health rights that will likely transform the coming Midterm elections and the Presidential election in 2024.
The expected ruling, which was leaked to Politico.com, has already drawn fierce criticism from Democrats in the US. It would be the “greatest restriction of rights in the past fifty years," said the leaders of both the houses of Congress in a joint statement last night.
The Supreme Court arrived here largely because of Donald Trump. The former US president appointed three justices to the Supreme Court – Neil Gorsuch, Brett Cavanaugh and Amy Coney Barratt – changing the political makeup of the court from one that was finely-balanced, to one that leaned heavily conservative.
The impact of this decision cannot be overstated. It means American women will no longer have the automatic constitutional right to have an abortion if they want to – though, of course, this will not stop many trying. As some commentators have pointed out, this ruling would deny access to safe abortions; not unsafe ones.
Many states have already sought to ban abortion entirely – and will now be able to legally proceed with those bans. The Supreme Court decision will uphold a new law in the state of Mississipi, which bans all abortions entirely, without any exceptions – even incest or rape.
“If tonight’s news is true, Michigan’s 1931 state law banning abortion would snap back into effect, making any abortion illegal in our state — even if the mom will die, or if she was raped by a family member,” tweeted representative Elissa Slotkin, from Michigan.
The ruling is expected to come in June. When and if it does, two things will happen:
Firstly, the battle over protecting a woman’s right to an abortion will move to Congress for the first time in over 60 years. Roe Vs Wade – the decision that codified abortion rights – was taken in 1973. And the battle will be fierce; Republicans are largely opposed to expanding abortion rights, while Democrats largely support protecting and expanding that right.
Public opinion is clear: nearly 60 per cent of Americans say abortion should be legal in most or all cases, compared to nearly 40 per cent who believe it should be illegal. White evangelical protestants are most likely to want a complete ban on abortion. But there is largely far more support for expanding or maintaining abortion rights, than restricting them.
Secondly, the legitimacy of the United States Supreme Court is now under serious threat, which will have implications for the entire American justice system. Democrats will likely lose their faith in the court, which has been balanced for most of the last century. As one columnist at Slate pointed out in 2021: “The court has no military to enforce its judgments. So it depends upon popular support, not for rulings that the public generally supports, but for its unpopular rulings in particular.”

Democrats have a lot of good reasons to distrust the Supreme Court. It’s not just that it is heavily tilted in one direction, thanks to the underhanded tactics employed by Republicans during the Obama and Trump years. It is also that the newly-appointed justices gave no indication they would seek to overturn established rulings on abortion. They were specifically asked about the ruling at length. Another recent poll found that favourable opinions of the Supreme Court had declined sharply in the last few years.
After the upheavals of the Trump years and the partisan breakdown of Congress, the US Supreme Court was seen as the sole institution at the top of American politics that commanded respect from all sides. That era is over. The partisan divide and paralysis that has infected every other part of American politics has also claimed the judicial system as its latest victim.
The bigger tragedy is that women will be the collateral damage in this ruling. While liberal states will seek to expand abortion rights, conservative states will restrict them even further. Poorer women who cannot afford to travel to other states for health support will fall victim to an ideological agenda that has long denied them control over their own bodies.

MLB roundup: Gleyber Torres, Yankees earn 10th straight win
Gleyber Torres hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the top of the ninth inning as the New York Yankees pushed their winning streak to 10 games with a 3-2 victory over the host Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night.
Giancarlo Stanton opened the ninth with a single to center off Yimi Garcia (0-2), and pinch runner Tim Locastro stole second. After Garcia retired former Blue Jays player Josh Donaldson and fanned Aaron Hicks, Torres gave the Yankees a 3-2 lead by lining a first-pitch curveball to center field to easily score Locastro.
Torres supplied New York's other two runs as well, swatting a two-run homer in the fourth inning. The Yankees are off to a 17-6 start, their best since opening 2003 with 19 wins in 23 games.
Bo Bichette and Matt Chapman had RBI hits in the bottom of the fourth for Toronto, which dropped to 9-3 in one-run games this season. George Springer and Bichette had two hits apiece, but Toronto was 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position.
White Sox 3, Angels 0
Dylan Cease allowed one hit over seven scoreless innings to lead Chicago to a victory over visiting Los Angeles.
Cease (3-1) did not walk a batter and matched a career-high with 11 strikeouts, including fanning Mike Trout three times. Cease retired 21 of the 23 batters he faced.
The White Sox had seven hits, including three from Luis Robert. Tim Anderson, Robert and Jose Abreu scored Chicago's runs.
Cardinals 1, Royals 0
Steven Matz and three St. Louis relievers combined to shut out visiting Kansas City.
Matz (3-1) cruised through six scoreless innings, allowing just four hits with four strikeouts and no walks. Kodi Whitley, Nick Wittgren and Giovanny Gallegos pitched a scoreless inning each for the Cardinals, with Gallegos earning his fifth save. Paul Goldschmidt hit a first-inning homer to account for the game's only run.
Zack Greinke (0-2) allowed one run on three hits in six innings for the Royals, who lost for the fourth game in a row and the ninth time in their last 11 games.
Twins 2, Orioles 1
Chris Paddack pitched 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball as Minnesota defeat host Baltimore in the opener of a four-game series.
Carlos Correa drove in the tiebreaking run with a sixth-inning single as Minnesota won for the 10th time in its last 11 games. Paddack (1-2) gave up four hits and a walk while striking out three. Jhoan Duran earned his first major league save with a perfect ninth.
Bryan Baker (1-1) took the loss in relief of Tyler Wells, who allowed one run on four hits without a walk in five innings.
Braves 5, Mets 2
Travis d'Arnaud continued to torment his former team, collecting three hits and three RBIs as Atlanta won at New York.
Austin Riley homered for the Braves. Max Fried (3-2) pitched six innings of two-run ball, and Kenley Jansen tossed a scoreless ninth inning for his seventh save. Chris Bassitt (3-2) took the loss after giving up three runs in seven innings.
The Mets played without manager Buck Showalter, who was suspended one game just before first pitch after Major League Baseball ruled New York's Yoan Lopez threw purposely at the Philadelphia Phillies' Kyle Schwarber on Sunday night.
Astros 3, Mariners 0
Jake Odorizzi carried a shutout into the seventh inning, three relievers finished it off and Yordan Alvarez and Jeremy Pena slugged home runs as host Houston defeated Seattle.
Odorizzi logged 6 2/3 innings, his longest outing since joining the Astros prior to last season. He gave up four hits and one walk while striking out three. Ryne Stanek, Hector Neris and Rafael Montero (second save) completed the shutout.
Mariners starter Marco Gonzales (1-3) allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks with two strikeouts in six innings. Ty France had two of Seattle's five hits.
Diamondbacks 5, Marlins 4
David Peralta went 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBIs to lead Arizona's win over host Miami.
Ex-Marlins pitcher Zac Gallen (1-0) earned the win in his first appearance against his former team. Gallen, who entered the game with a 0.60 ERA, pitched six scoreless innings before running into trouble. In 6 1/3 innings, he allowed five hits, no walks, two runs and five strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.

The Athletics managed just two hits - singles by Jed Lowrie and Chad Pinder - en route to their fourth straight loss and fifth in six games.

'Why would it be a wave of goodbye? As far as I know he'll be here next season': Cristiano Ronaldo IS staying at Man United, says Ralf Rangnick, after revealing their plans to sign two 'modern strikers'
- Ralf Rangnick has revealed Cristiano Ronaldo is staying at Man Utd next season
- Ronaldo's future has been the subject of intense speculation in recent months
- Many feel he will not be suited to incoming manager Erik ten Hag's style of play
- But interim boss Rangnick says the 37-year-old will remain at Old Trafford
Cristiano Ronaldo will be staying at Manchester United next season despite their plans to sign two new strikers this summer, Ralf Rangnick has revealed.
Rangnick, who has been in interim charge of United since the end of November, is set to make way for incoming head coach Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford once the season is complete.
And Ten Hag's impending arrival has cast doubts over the futures of several first-team players, including Ronaldo.
The 37-year-old only sealed an emotional return to United last year, snubbing interest from rivals Manchester City to head back to his beloved club.
Ralf Rangnick has revealed Cristiano Ronaldo is staying at Manchester United next season
Though while he has produced a return of 24 goals in 37 appearances, one of which came in Monday's 3-0 win over Brentford, Ronaldo's off-the-ball work has been scrutinised regularly throughout the campaign.
Many believe he will not suit Ten Hag's modern philosophy, which consists of intense pressing high up the pitch, while Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher suggested his return last summer was a panicked decision that hasn't gone to plan.
Ronaldo has therefore been linked with a move away from United in recent months, however Rangnick does not expect him to depart anytime soon.
After their final home game of the season against Brentford, the German was asked if Ronaldo's lap of honour was a 'wave of goodbye'.
Ronaldo's future at United has been questioned despite his tally of 24 goals in 37 games
Many doubt whether the 37-year-old will suit incoming boss Erik ten Hag's style of football
But Rangnick has rubbished talk of Ronaldo leaving and instead claimed he is staying put
'I don't think why it should be a wave of goodbye,' Rangnick told Stadium Astro. 'He's got another year of contract and as far as I know he will be here next season again.'
Despite his claim that Ronaldo is staying put, Rangnick indicated before Monday's win over the Bees that United will look to add two or three new strikers to their ranks in the summer.
The interim boss, who will take up a consultancy role at the club when Ten Hag arrives, says minor changes will not be enough to propel them up the table next season.
He told Sky Sports: 'There should be two or three new strikers next season, it's pretty obvious.'
Rangnick has been unable to guide United to a place in the top four since replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the helm, with fourth-place Arsenal still five points away having played two matches less.
The German still expects United to add two or three new strikers to their ranks this summer
Yet following confirmation of Ten Hag's appointment, he is adamant that success will return to the club sooner rather than later.
'Knowing Erik will be the manager, with a good recruitment process and bringing in the right players, I'm very positive the supporters and the media will be able to see a better team and, at the end, hopefully a better position in the league,' he added.
'There are quite a few good examples in the league with when Jurgen Klopp came to Liverpool, Pep Guardiola to Manchester City, Thomas Tuchel came to Chelsea - yes, he came in the middle of the season and inherited a top-quality squad, but you still need to win the Champions League.
'If you know what you're looking for, the profiles of the different positions you need, it shouldn't hopefully take too long.'

Cardinals pull off trade, add WR Marquise Brown from Ravens
The Arizona Cardinals have acquired receiver Marquise Brown in a draft-day trade with the Baltimore Ravens, sending the No. 23 overall pick back to Baltimore in return.
The move shores up one big area of need for the Cardinals, who were hunting for a No. 2 receiver to pair with three-time All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins.
Brown caught 91 passes for 1,008 yards and six TDs last season for the Ravens. The Cardinals also received Baltimore’s third-round pick in the deal. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2586891668364/cardinals-pull-off-trade-add-wr-marquise-brown-from-ravens | 2022-05-03T10:12:10Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2586891668364/cardinals-pull-off-trade-add-wr-marquise-brown-from-ravens | true | null |

Downton Abbey is back with a brand new movie and fans are set to see the return of some of the series’ famous filming locations from across the UK as the film, titled A New Era, hits the big screen on Friday. Betfair Casino has revealed the 10 most popular filming locations from the series that you can visit in the UK.
Measuring popularity by the number of hashtags each location has racked up on Instagram, Highclere Castle in Hampshire, which fans will recognise as Downton Abbey itself on screen, and Bampton, a scenic Oxfordshire village, are among the 10 most popular filming locations for the series.
Other popular sites available to visit include Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, Harewood House in West Yorkshire and Lincoln Castle in Lincolnshire otherwise known as York Prison where Downton Abbey’s John Bates found himself locked up way back when in season three.
Downtown Abbey's 10 most popular filming locations:
Highclere Castle, Hampshire (54,212)
Fans will recognise Highclere Castle as Downton Abbey on screen, with the impressive grounds used for both exterior and interior scenes throughout the series and upcoming movie.
Alnwick Castle, Northumberland (53,919)
Serving up tours for Downton Abbey fans, Alnwick Castle is best known as Brancaster Castle, owned by the Marquess of Hexham, and featured in two Christmas specials for the series.
Lacock Village, Wiltshire (51,915)
The quintessential village of Lacock is a National Trust delight and fans may recognise it from scenes in series six that take place in a livestock market, with the village also featuring regularly in the Downton Abbey movie.
Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire (44,798)
This Buckinghamshire manor was used to shoot the exterior shots of Haxby Hall, a neighbouring estate to the Crawley family, in series two of Downton Abbey.
Harewood House, West Yorkshire (39,346)
A country house with grand gardens, it’s no surprise Harewood House’s majestic exterior was used in scenes in the first Downton Abbey movie, where Lord and Lady Grantham’s neighbours host a ball.
Beamish Museum, County Durham (39,251)
Beamish Museum is an open-air venue located in County Durham and has been a key location for filming, especially for the first Downton Abbey movie. The real-life time capsule makes for the perfect backdrop, with its period setting and traditional vehicles to help bring the fictional drama to life.
Lincoln Castle, Lincolnshire (30,134)
Cast your minds back to season three and you’ll recognise Lincoln Castle as York Prison where John Bates, played by Brendan Coyle, was incarcerated after being accused of murdering his former wife.
Bampton Village, Oxfordshire (14,915)
Nothing screams Downton Abbey more than a quaint Oxfordshire village, with Bampton making the perfect setting for the period drama. Bampton features heavily throughout the series, with Churchgate House featuring as the home of Isobel Crawley.
Inveraray Castle, Scotland (12,104)
Inveraray Castle made its grand debut in the 2012 Christmas special of Downton Abbey when the Grantham family travelled up to Scotland to visit the Marquess of Flintshire, with all the action from the episode taking place in the castle and its grounds.
Wentworth Woodhouse, Rotherham (9,385)
While it may make for quite a view, the stately home of Wentworth Woodhouse was actually used for its stunning interiors and many of the inside ballroom scenes for the first movie were filmed here. | https://www.lutontoday.co.uk/read-this/downton-abbeys-10-most-popular-filming-locations-you-can-visit-in-the-uk-3677856 | 2022-05-03T10:20:07Z | https://www.lutontoday.co.uk/read-this/downton-abbeys-10-most-popular-filming-locations-you-can-visit-in-the-uk-3677856 | true | 22 |

Brooklyn artist Nina Katchadourian has a novel solution to noise pollution caused by the tones of common car alarms. She's created a new kind of alarm that blares bird songs that more or less follow the same familiar sonic pattern of most alarms, but with a "natural" twist. NPR's Rick Karr reports.

Money Saving Expert is urging anyone with unspent Tesco Clubcard vouchers to make sure they claim them before they expire this month. The site says that around £17 million has yet to be claimed, and warned shoppers they could lose out if they don't claim them during May.
The vouchers are usually valid for two years, but there are ways of extending the expiry date for another two years. With nearly 20 million holders in the UK alone, Tesco's scheme is incredibly popular, with shoppers able to access exclusive deals on everything from groceries to free trips to holiday venues.
Read more:We did a regular Tesco shop with and without a Clubcard
Last week, the supermarket defended its Clubcard scheme after shoppers criticised charging widely different prices for those without one of the money-saving cards. Customers branded the price differences 'shocking' 'ridiculous' and 'crazy'.
A Tesco spokesperson said: “Through Clubcard Prices, we’re giving more than 20 million customers access to thousands of exclusive deals on everything from everyday staples like fruit and veg to treats like prosecco and ice-cream. It’s easy and free to sign up, and customers can register on the Tesco Grocery & Clubcard app, website or in store to start saving straight away.”
The moneysavingexpert.com website says: "Tesco's Clubcard is one of the most generous loyalty schemes around, if used the right way."
The website also has some advice on how to extend the expiry date:
- Make a small purchase on the Clubcard site and the remaining balance is credited back to your Clubcard account as points.
- They'll then be reissued as new vouchers (with an expiry date up to two years in the future) when you next get a batch. So if you spend 50p on a £10 voucher, you'll get £9.50 as new vouchers.
- There's no min spend, but the aim's to shell out as little as possible . A good option might be a 50p restaurant voucher* (worth £1.50 at your chosen restaurant).
The website adds: "Bear in mind you'll need to do this for each individual voucher though, so weigh up if it's actually worth it for smaller denominations. For example, if you've a £10 voucher it's probably worth it – if you've got a handful of £1 vouchers, maybe less so." | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/shopping/money-saving-experts-urgent-message-23846729 | 2022-05-03T10:21:30Z | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/shopping/money-saving-experts-urgent-message-23846729 | false | 2 |
Folklorist Alan Lomax died Friday, July 19 at the age of 87. He spent more than a half century recording the folk music and customs of the world. His efforts spurred folk revivals in the United States and across Europe. In the United States, he was responsible for priceless recordings of Leadbelly (who Lomax first recorded in prison), Woody Guthrie, Jelly Roll Morton and many others. A 1959 recording he made of Mississippi prisoner James Carter singing the work song "Po'Lazarus" was the opening song for the soundtrack of the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? Many of Lomax's recordings have been reissued on Rounder Records' 100-CD series, the Lomax Collection. This interview first aired July 9, 1990.

- Top range efficacy for ACR and PASI scores
- Proportion of patients with resolution of enthesitis appears differentiating
- Supports hypothesis that izokibep offers greater efficacy with high potency and small size
- Supports strategy of evaluating IL-17A inhibition's potential for transformative efficacy across many disease states
- Study results to be presented at EULAR in Copenhagen, on June 3, 2022
LOS ANGELES, SOLNA, Sweden, and SHANGHAI, May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ACELYRIN, INC., Affibody AB, and Inmagene Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., today announced that a 16-week, global, Phase 2 clinical trial of izokibep in 135 patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) met its primary endpoint of ACR50. Izokibep also achieved secondary endpoints, including PASI response, enthesitis LEEDs improvement, and quality of life improvement on a clinically validated PsA-specific quality of life instrument, the Psoriatic Impact of Disease (PsAID) questionnaire.
The randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 clinical trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of izokibep dosed 80 mg every two weeks (Q2W) or 40 mg Q2W, versus placebo Q2W, in adult patients with active PsA. The primary endpoint of ACR50 and secondary endpoint of PASI responses were met and were at the top of the range of responses, compared to what has been reported for other medicines approved or in development for PsA. The proportion of patients with resolution of enthesitis appears to be differentiating. A clinically meaningful improvement in disease-specific quality of life was achieved with the patient-reported outcome measure, PsAID. No new safety issues were identified.
"The positive data generated in this Phase 2 trial supports our hypothesis that the high potency and small molecular size of izokibep results in potential for greater exposures and, therefore, greater efficacy. Enhanced drug penetration in dense, poorly vascularized entheseal tissues would be consistent with the differentially greater pain reductions seen with izokibep treatment," said Paul Peloso, MD, chief medical officer (CMO) of ACELYRIN.
"Residual entheseal pain is associated with more severe disease and poorer quality of life. It is exciting to see such improved resolution of enthesitis and patients' improved quality of life," he added.
"Psoriatic arthritis is a painful and debilitating inflammatory disease of the peripheral joints, skin, and nails, and it also can affect the spine. We are pleased this Phase 2 trial highlights the potential of izokibep to offer clinically differentiated efficacy in this area of continued unmet need," noted Prof. Nikolai Brun, MD, PhD, CMO of Affibody. "Importantly, an opportunity remains to continue to explore higher exposures to optimize response and still deliver izokibep as single SC injections."
Shao-Lee Lin, MD, PhD, co-founder and CEO of ACELYRIN, said, "These data underscore our confidence in the previously announced strategy of fully evaluating IL-17A inhibition's potential for transformative efficacy across many disease states."
"The PsA P2 data have positive implications in particular for axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) and psoriasis (PsO), given impact on enthesitis and PASI responses. Higher dosing (160mg QW) and Q2W dosing of izokibep will be studied in a PsA P2b/3 pivotal study as a next step in advancement of the program," she added.
David Bejker, CEO of Affibody, said, "These study results are important in demonstrating the opportunity to create best-in-class compounds based on the Affibody® technology."
Details of the PsA Phase 2 trial data will be shared by podium presentation at the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) Congress in Copenhagen on June 3, 2022, at 11:05AM CET.
ACELYRIN holds worldwide rights to izokibep except development and commercialization rights by Inmagene in selected Asian countries, including China, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan, and excluding Japan. Affibody holds commercialization rights in the Nordic countries.
About izokibep
Izokibep is a unique, antibody mimetic, interleukin-17A (IL-17A) inhibitor designed to overcome the limitations of monoclonal antibodies. With extraordinary potency and small molecular size, izokibep can reach high drug exposure levels through a single, subcutaneous injection that monoclonal antibodies require IV administration to achieve. In addition, the small size of izokibep—about a tenth the size of a monoclonal antibody—also enables its potential to reach targeted tissues that may otherwise be inaccessible to the much larger monoclonal antibodies.
About Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory musculoskeletal condition affecting the peripheral joints, the skin (with psoriasis), the nails, and in approximately 30 percent of individuals, the spine. Left under-treated, PsA leads to chronic joint pain, swelling, and damage with a high potential for permanent disability. Psoriatic arthritis pathology is dominated by pro-inflammatory T-helper (Th-17) cells that lead to over expression of IL-17, IL-23, and TNF cytokines.

Update: What we know about the shooting of 2 brothers in Upper Makefield
Trinh Nguyen was facing a deadline.
After months of a dispute over more than $11,000 in back rent, eviction day was finally coming Tuesday and authorities could force her from the Upper Makefield home she shared with her two boys.
By Monday afternoon she would be in police custody, and her sons, just 10 and 13, would lay in hospital beds critically wounded on life support as township police and Bucks County detectives investigated what went so tragically wrong in the family's home on Timber Ridge Road that morning.
The boys, Council Rock School District students, were not expected to survive the injuries they suffered, but as of Tuesday morning, authorities had not reported any change in their condition.
The Bucks County District Attorney on Monday said the children's mother, Trinh Nguyen, 38, shot her sons in their heads early Monday morning before trying to shoot 22-year-old Gianni Melchiondo, as he left for work from his home on the same property where Nguyen and the boys lived.
Police and Melchiondo's mother, who is also an aunt to the young victims and the landlord of the property, would find the boys laying in their beds alive but critically wounded as authorities said their mother fled the scene.
Here's what we know as police continue to investigate Tuesday:
What happened Monday in Upper Makefield?
Trinh Nguyen shot both her children inside the rented home they share in a neighborhood off Highland Road in Upper Makefield and then turned the gun on Gianni Melchiondo, who came ran into the mother as he was leaving for work. Nguyen and Melchiondo both lived at the Timber Ridge Road property in what authorities called a duplex.
At about 7:05 a.m., Nguyen gave a box of photos to Melchiondo, 22, and asked him to give the photos to her ex-husband, Bucks County DA Matt Weintraub said.
Melchiondo is the nephew of Nguyen's ex-husband, who is the younger boy's father, and the son of the landlord of the Timber Ridge Road home, according to the criminal complaint. His mother and police would find the children in their beds with gunshot wounds to the head, sparking a manhunt early Monday for Nguyen after she pointed the gun at Melchiondo, pulling the trigger twice, police allege.
“But by the grace of god, the gun did not fire,” Weintraub said.
Melchiondo got Nguyen in a “bear hug,” and managed to get the gun away from her, he said. She then fled the scene.

What is the status of the boys?
As of early Tuesday morning, the children remained on life support. At least one of the boys underwent surgery at St. Mary Medical Center on Monday, according to court records. Neither boy is expected to survive and the family has decided to donated their organs so they can be transplanted in others.
“I have two kids; it can’t hit any closer to home than this. I’ve been saying my prayers ever since I got the call this morning,” Weintraub said.
“It’s a very difficult image to get out of my head,” he said.
How was Trinh Nguyen arrested and charged?
After fleeing, Nguyen was on the run and considered "armed and dangerous" for hours before police found her and took her into custody Monday at about 11:30 a.m.
Nguyen was spotted going over the Washington Crossing Bridge into Hopewell New Jersey shortly after the incident, according to the DA. More than four hours later, she was spotted in the parking lot of Washington Crossing United Methodist Church.
“I give credit to the church officials, who saw our social media post, and alerted police that the defendant was in a van in their parking lot,” Weintraub said.
Nguyen was taken into custody there. The DA said there was indications she was under the influence of drugs at the time. She was also found with ammunition for her revolver in her vehicle when she was arrested, according to Weintraub.
She was arraigned Monday on four counts of felony attempted homicide and one count of possessing an instrument of crime, which is a misdemeanor. She was denied bail and taken to Bucks County Corrections.
Charges against her were expected to be upgraded to homicide as her sons were not expected to survive.

What was the motive in the shooting?
Authorities say they are still investigating what led to the shooting on Timber Ridge Road on Monday.
Police from Lower Makefield, Newtown Township, Newtown Borough police and the Central Bucks Crime Scene Unit helped Upper Makefield and County Detectives in the investigation. The DA declined to comment on the motive Monday.
“We have some very strong leads on motive, but I think it would be premature and unfair of me to comment on motive right now,” he said, adding that a motive would become evident in the future.
Was Trinh Nguyen facing eviction?
Yes, and by Tuesday she could have been physically removed and forced to leave the home on Timber Ridge Road, according to court documents.
Nguyen was ordered to leave their luxury home, described by officials as a duplex with relatives living in separate units, by Tuesday for failure to pay more than $11,000 in rent, this news organization has learned through court documents detailing the eviction proceedings.
Weintraub would not comment on the eviction proceedings Monday.
This news organization has independently confirmed through court records that Nguyen was in a landlord-tenant dispute with her ex-sister-in-law, Corinna Tini-Melchiondo, who owns the five-bedroom home.
Nguyen and her now ex-husband, Ed Tini, moved into the Timber Ridge home after they were married in 2012 and she continued to live there with her sons after he moved out last June, according to court documents.
Nguyen's lease was terminated in late September, about a month before her divorce from Tini was finalized, court records show.
A district judge ordered Nguyen to pay $11,500 in rent and other costs in December and she appealed the district court ruling to Bucks County Court of Common Pleas. An order for possession, the final step in an eviction proceeding, was issued in April, with an eviction date of May 3, 2022.
This news organization has filed right to know requests to determine if there was any police activity at the house leading up to Monday's shootings.
What about the young victims?
On Monday night, the older brother's classmates remembered the 13-year-old with a vigil at Newtown Middle School, where he was a student. The boy was a swimmer, with medals to prove his success in the water. Online tributes remembered him as a helpful and kind kid, who volunteered his morning to assist in a special needs classroom at his school.
His younger brother was a student at Sol Feinstone Elementary School. He is 10, according to court records. In social media posts, he was remembered as a sweet and funny boy, who played sports. This news organization is withholding their names at this time.
The Crossing Church at 1895 Wrightstown Road is holding a prayer service for the family Tuesday at 7 p.m. that is open to the public.

LONDON, May 3 — The British pound rose today, moving away from 21-month lows against the dollar as traders took profits on the recent surge in the US currency ahead of both Federal Reserve and Bank of England monetary policy meetings this week.
The Bank of England meeting, which is expected to result in a 0.25-percentage-point rise in interest rates tomorrow, is the big event of the week for sterling.
In recent weeks the pound has fallen sharply as investors have piled into dollars in expectation that the Federal Reserve will raise rates faster than other central banks and that the US economy will hold up better than others in the face of soaring inflation and slowing economic growth.
The US central bank will meet today and tomorrow and is expected to raise interest rates by 50 basis points—the first of a series of aggressive hikes expected by money markets. Rises totalling 270 basis points by February are priced in.
Today, sterling rose 0.4 per cent to US$1.2549 (RM5.5) , compared with a 21-month low of US$1.2412 hit last week.
ING analyst are expecting a 0.25-percentage-point BoE rate rise this week.
“We think that would prompt a bit more dovish repricing across the GBP curve and the pound could moderately weaken after the rate announcement,” they said in a note.
“Such weakness should prove more pronounced against the dollar, which could find some more support from the FOMC meeting, and EUR/GBP upside could still be capped to the 0.8450-0.8500 area for now,” they added.
The pound has held up better against the euro in recent weeks, remaining in a relatively tight trading range.
By 0805 GMT today the euro was 0.3 per cent lower versus the British currency at 83.87 pence (RM4.6) .
The “BoE have reason not to risk upsetting the consumer too much with drastic hikes, leaving 25bp (basis points) as a compromise,” said Mizuho rates strategists. — Reuters | https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2022/05/03/sterling-bounces-higher-as-dollar-surge-eases/2056936 | 2022-05-03T10:39:14Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2022/05/03/sterling-bounces-higher-as-dollar-surge-eases/2056936 | true | 1 |
It's primary day in Ohio and Indiana.
Tuesday's top race is in Ohio, where voters are set to pick nominees for a U.S. Senate seat left open by Republican Rob Portman, who is not seeking reelection. It's a contest that has seen heavy influence from former President Donald Trump.
Congressional redistricting has also notably affected some of the state's closely watched House races.
In Indiana, the two main parties' Senate nominees are set, while Republicans are hoping to flip a House seat in the 1st Congressional District.
Here are seven races we're eyeing:
1. Ohio Senate primaries
The Republican Senate primary in Ohio is a test of Trump's influence now that he is no longer in office.
Former state Treasurer Josh Mandel, who has closely followed Trump's charged rhetoric throughout the primary, has been near the top of polls for months. But just a few weeks ago, Trump endorsed J.D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy, who is now narrowly considered the frontrunner. The endorsement was somewhat of a surprise given Vance's past criticisms of Trump.
Other GOP candidates include businessman Mike Gibbons, former state party chair Jane Timken and state Sen. Matt Dolan, who says he supports Trump but has also said he believes Trump should stop trying to reject the results of the 2020 election.
On the Democratic side, the expected winner is current Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan, who has long had a centrist approach in Washington. Ryan faces Traci Johnson and more progressive candidate Morgan Harper.
Ryan is also putting some space between himself and the current administration. When asked if he would have President Biden and Vice President Harris stump for him in Ohio, the congressman said, "This is my race. I'm going to be the face of this."
2. Ohio Governor
Incumbent Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, is facing off against three GOP challengers who lean further right: former U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci, former state Rep. Ron Hood and businessman and farmer Joe Blystone. DeWine has a substantial lead in fundraising and has led in public opinion surveys.
On the Democratic side, former Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley and former Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley go head-to-head. Democrats likely face an uphill battle, no matter which candidate wins the nomination.
3. Ohio's 13th Congressional District
Rep. Ryan's run for Senate has created an open, competitive U.S. House seat. While state Rep. Emilia Sykes is running unopposed in the Democratic primary, several Republicans are squaring off for the right to go against Sykes in November.
4, 5. Ohio's 9th and 1st Congressional Districts
Longtime Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur's northern Ohio district was changed significantly as a result of redistricting, shifting the seat to the right as it included more conservative pockets. Four Republicans are now facing off to take her on, including state Sen. Theresa Gavarone, state Rep. Craig Riedel and Air Force veteran J.R. Majewski.
On the flip side, Republican incumbent Steve Chabot saw his Cincinnati-based district, the 1st, move to the left. Trump has endorsed Chabot, who has a primary challenger. Cincinnati City Councilor Greg Landsman is running unopposed for Democrats.
6. Ohio's 7th Congressional District
Another test of Trump's influence could play out in Ohio's 7th district. The area is solidly Republican and the seat is currently held by Rep. Bob Gibbs, who announced just last month he would not seek reelection.
Gibbs was originally running again and was up against former Trump aide Max Miller, who is now leading the race and has received Trump's endorsement.
This district is also one to watch because of recent redistricting. The 7th now includes a large swath of the 16th Congressional District, which is represented by Anthony Gonzalez. The congressman, who was one of just 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, has also announced he is retiring.
7. Indiana's 1st Congressional District
In the Hoosier State, around Gary, Ind., the National Republican Congressional Committee considers incumbent Rep. Frank Mrvan as one of the vulnerable Democrats this year, though it's been a blue district. He doesn't face any significant challengers in his own party.
Among his Republican challengers are two women: Blair Milo, a Navy veteran and former LaPorte mayor, and Jennifer-Ruth Green, an Air Force veteran. Green has been endorsed by Indiana's attorney general and if elected in November would be the second Black Republican woman ever elected to Congress.

Xavier Woods recently announced the return of his popular video game channel on YouTube, UpUpDownDown.
The New Day member started the YouTube channel in 2015 under his real name, Austin Creed. As part of the show, he invites WWE Superstars, influencers, and celebrities to play video games against each other.
Woods sold his channel to WWE. However, based on a report by Fightful Select, there were allegedly some financial disputes between WWE and Xavier Woods. However, he returned in December last year.
The recent videos have focused on promoting the 2K22 video game. The channel currently has 2.29 million subscribers, and the last upload was a month ago.
The official UpUpDownDown YouTube channel recently shared a cryptic video message by Woods.
“Warriors old and new will arise, a champion returns, a new champion will be crowned. And with the help of you people whose laments have been heard who have been by our side from the beginning, the unstoppable force will continue to expand into a world where anything is possible. But it all starts with the first bloom, that first bit of life in spring when the sun glistens on new buds and lets the world know from this point forth we’ re back. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you! Stay tuned and make sure to always and forever. Keep it tight!” said Xavier Woods (2:14 - 3:10)
Check out the video below:
Many Superstars across RAW, SmackDown, and NXT have participated in UpUpDownDown, including Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, Ricochet, Kofi Kingston, Jimmy, and Jey Uso, among others.
Crew of UpUpDownDown stood in solidarity with Xavier Woods
In November last year, according to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, the team for the gaming channel voluntarily refrained from creating new content.
They reportedly believed that WWE took advantage of Xavier Woods by giving him a bad deal on buying the channel years ago. The team also mentioned that once the situation was approached and rectified by the company, the team would proceed to work on content for the show. This seemingly happened by December 2021 as Woods came back to the channel, as mentioned earlier.
As for Woods' in-ring ventures, he regularly competes with Kofi Kingston. The third member of The New Day Big E, is currently out of action due to a neck injury.
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are set to face Sheamus, and Ridge Holland in a tables match on this week's Friday Night SmackDown.

A majority of the U.S. Supreme Court has voted to overturn the landmark 1973 ruling Roe v. Wade that established the right to abortion nearly 50 years ago, according to a leaked draft opinion published by Politico on Monday.
National Public Radio could not immediately confirm the authenticity of the draft Politico published.
The draft was written by Justice Samuel Alito and circulated in February, according to the Politico report. The report said that Alito was joined by justices Clarence Thomas and all three of former President Donald Trump's nominees – Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. Politico reported that justices Stephen Breyer, Elana Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor were working on dissents. It was unclear how Chief Justice John Roberts voted.
Roe v. Wade established a constitutional right to abortion in 1973. Although abortion rights looked to be in peril after arguments at the court late last year, it was unclear whether the justices would merely hollow out Roe or indeed strike it down. It now appears they have done the latter, though, as the Politico report itself noted, the leaked majority opinion was a draft that could still change.
In the 98-page draft, Alito said Roe was wrongly decided, saying the issue should be decided by politicians, not courts. If Roe is reversed, it would not federally outlaw abortion. However, it would shift the power to states to decide on the procedure's legality.
Twenty-one states are poised to immediately ban or acutely curtail access to abortions if the Supreme Court chooses to overturn or weaken Roe v. Wade, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group in favor of abortion rights.
Reactions to the report, however, were swift. Within hours after the Politico report published, demonstrators assembled outside the Supreme Court early on Tuesday, many calling for the preservation of the 1973 law.
Several governors issued statements following the news. Here's what they said:
Alabama
"This unprecedented leak is concerning, outrageous and a blatant attempt to manipulate the sacred procedures of the U.S. Supreme Court. Those responsible should be held accountable. My prayer is that Roe v. Wade is overturned and that life prevails," said Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, a Republican.
Arkansas
"I have advocated for the reversal of Roe v. Wade all my political career. The leak from someone within the court is reprehensible and should lead to an investigation but I do hope the court returns authority to the states," said Republican Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
California
"Our daughters, sisters, mothers, and grandmothers will not be silenced. The world is about to hear their fury," said California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat. "California will not sit back. We are going to fight like hell.
Colorado
"In light of the reported decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, CO remains a state where freedom is respected and where any person has the ability to live, work, thrive, and raise a family on their own terms," said Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis.
He added: "While states like Texas, Florida and Arizona are engaging in the unwelcome intrusion of government into deeply personal and religious decisions, Colorado remains a refuge where any person has the ability to live, work, thrive, and raise a family on their own terms."
Connecticut
"Our state continues to take the steps necessary to protect and expand reproductive rights," said Democratic Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont. "Tonight [Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz] and I say it louder and with more resolve than ever before, we will do everything in our power to defend abortion rights in Connecticut."
Illinois
"Hell no! In Illinois, we trust women. We cannot let their most profound and personal rights be violated," said Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat.
Maine
"I want to be very clear: unlike an apparent majority of the Supreme Court, I do not consider the rights of women to be dispensable." said Maine Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat. "As long as I am Governor, I will fight with everything I have to protect reproductive rights and to preserve access to reproductive health care."
Michigan
"Our work is more important than ever. I'll fight like hell to protect abortion access in Michigan," said Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Minnesota
"Not on my watch," said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat.
Nevada
"In Nevada, we're committed to protecting reproductive rights - I've signed legislation affirming this right and expanding access to healthcare," said Democratic Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak. "And as long as I'm Governor, I'll continue to do so."
New Jersey
"I want to assure every New Jerseyan that today's news about the Supreme Court does not change access to abortion in our state," said New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat. "Access to reproductive health care remains available to anyone who needs it in New Jersey."
New Mexico
"The ramifications of this decision would be devastating for New Mexico women," said Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. "Today and every day, the action we've taken to protect and expand abortion rights in New Mexico is more important than ever. Access to abortion is access to health care – and that won't change here."
New York
"I refuse to let my new granddaughter have to fight for the rights that generations have fought for & won, rights that she should be guaranteed," said Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. "For anyone who needs access to care, our state will welcome you with open arms. Abortion will always be safe & accessible in New York."
North Carolina
"Now more than ever, governors and state legislatures must stand up for women's healthcare. We know the stakes and must stand firm to protect a woman's choice and access to medical care," said North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat.
Oregon
"All Americans should have access to abortion –– full stop. Abortion is health care and protected by state law in Oregon. We will fight to keep it that way, no matter what this Supreme Court decides," said Democratic Oregon Gov. Kate Brown.
Pennsylvania
"Abortion is and will remain legal in Pennsylvania," said Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf. "3 things to keep in mind: 1) An official ruling has not yet been made. 2) Once #SCOTUS does rule, it's up to states to pass legislation to change abortion laws. 3) I'll veto any anti-choice legislation that lands on my desk."
Rhode Island
"Here in Rhode Island, we will always protect a woman's right to choose," said Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee, a Democrat. "We will NOT go backwards on reproductive rights."
South Dakota
"If this report is true and Roe v. Wade is overturned, I will immediately call for a special session to save lives and guarantee that every unborn child has a right to life in South Dakota," said Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
Washington
"NOT HERE, NOT IN OUR LIFETIME," said Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat. "Washington is and will remain pro-choice. And we will not slow down in the fight to ensure safe, affordable access to every person who needs it."
Wisconsin
"Our work to defend access to reproductive healthcare has never been more important," said Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers. "Before I became governor, I promised I'd fight to protect access to abortion and reproductive rights. I've kept that promise, and I will fight every day as long as I'm governor."

The Met Office has raised the temperature at which a heatwave is declared in several areas of England.
Eight counties have had these limits raised by the forecaster by 1C. The new limits are:
-
28C (82F) in Surrey , Berkshire , Buckinghamshire , Bedfordshire , Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire
-
27C (81F) in Lincolnshire
-
and 26C (79F) in the East Riding of Yorkshire

What is a heatwave?
A heatwave is a period of excessively hot weather, which may be accompanied by high humidity, especially in oceanic climate countries.
A 2018 Met Office study showed that heat waves are 30 times more likely to occur now than in 1750, because of higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which is a by-product from burning fossil fuels like oil, coal and natural gas and is a key driver of global warming.
UK Heatwave temperature thresholds
If it is above 28C for more than three days in the following counties the Met Office heatwave threshold is met:
- London
- Surrey
- Berkshire
- Buckinghamshire
- Bedfordshire
- Hertfordshire
- Cambridgeshire
Counties in the UK where temperatures have to be above 27C threshold for three days:
- Lincolnshire
- Norfolk
- Suffolk
- Essex
- Kent
- East Sussex
- West Sussex
- Hampshire
- Wiltshire
- Gloucestershire
- Oxfordshire
- Buckinghamshire
- Nottinghamshire
- Leicestershire
- Rutland
- Warwickshire
- West Midlands
- Northamptonshire
- Worcestershire
Temperatures above 26C for three days straight need to be reached in the following counties:
- Isle of Wight
- Dorset
- Somerset
- Bristol
- Herefordshire
- Shropshire
- Cheshire
- Staffordshire
- Derbyshire
- South Yorkshire
-
East Riding of Yorkshire
- Glamorgan
- Monmouthshire
Temperatures need to be above 25C for three days or more in the following places in the UK to be classed as a heatwave
- Merseyside
- Greater Manchester
- Lancashire
- Cumbria
- West Yorkshire
- North Yorkshire
- Durham
- Tyne and Wear
- Northumberland
- Scotland
- Wales (apart from Glamorgan and Monmouthshire)
Why has the temperature threshold changed?
The UK has been experiencing rising average temperatures in recent years as a result of global warming. The definition of a heatwave is linked to historical climate data.
Previously, the threshold used data from 1981 to 2010, but the new limits are based on the period between 1991 and 2020.
The Met Office's heatwave thresholds vary in the UK between 25C to 28C, with London previously the only area to have a limit of 28C. Birmingham and other areas in the Midlands region have a threshold of 26C.
The rest of England and Wales, all of Scotland and Northern Ireland still fall under a 25C threshold.
Dr Mark McCarthy, head of the Met Office National Climate Information Centre - the body which manages the UK's climate records - said:
"Temperature rise has been greatest across parts of central and eastern England, where it has increased by more than 1.0C in some locations, while further north, areas of Scotland and Northern Ireland have seen temperatures rise by closer to 0.7C."
Will it be hot this summer in England?
On May 1 2022, the Met Office issued a three-month outlook and it states that the next few months have a chance of being hotter than normal.
The Met Office predicts there’s a 40% chance the season will be hot, which is two times more than the normal chance and a 15% chance that the season will be wet. | https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/uk-news/heatwave-temperature-threshold-changed-met-23848423 | 2022-05-03T10:48:32Z | https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/uk-news/heatwave-temperature-threshold-changed-met-23848423 | false | 1 |
More than 1,000 workers at two CNH Industrial plants went on strike Monday in search of a better deal with the company that makes agriculture and construction equipment.
The United Auto Workers union said the workers in Racine, Wisconsin, and Burlington, Iowa, went on strike at noon after contract talks faltered. The action follows a spate of strikes in the past year, including a high-profile monthlong strike at Deere & Co. that resulted in 10% raises and improved benefits for 10,000 UAW workers at that equipment maker.
“Our members at CNHi strike for the ability to earn a decent living, retire with dignity and establish fair work rules,” said Chuck Browning, vice president and director of the union’s Agricultural Implement Department.
The company, which is based in the United Kingdom, said in a statement that it is disappointed it couldn’t reach an agreement with the union, and it remains committed to the bargaining process. CNH Industrial has more than 37,000 employees total.
“We recognize the union’s decision creates high anxiety among our represented employees in Burlington and Racine, as well as our other employees, our customers, and our community,” said CNH Industrial, which plans to release its first-quarter earnings report on Tuesday.
This is the latest strike by workers who believe they deserve more after keeping plants operating throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Unions have also been emboldened to take action because they believe the ongoing worker shortages give them an advantage in bargaining.
Besides the Deere strike last fall, another group of UAW-represented workers went on strike last year at a Volvo Trucks plant in Virginia and won improved pay and health benefits after rejecting three tentative agreements with the company.
There have also been strikes at Kellogg’s cereal plants across the country, a Frito-Lay plant in Topeka, Kansas, and at five Nabisco plants nationwide. And meatpacking workers who were hit hard by the spread of COVID-19 have been winning significant raises when their contracts come up at plants across the country.
Workers have also voted to unionize at an Amazon warehouse in New York and at more than two dozen Starbucks stores across the country. Workers at another Amazon warehouse on New York’s Staten Island, however, rejected a union bidon Monday. | https://www.wavy.com/news/business/1000-cnh-industrial-workers-strike-in-iowa-wisconsin/ | 2022-05-03T10:49:59Z | https://www.wavy.com/news/business/1000-cnh-industrial-workers-strike-in-iowa-wisconsin/ | true | 35 |

For a while now, India’s automobile sector seems to be getting sucked into a downward spiral which started with the unceasing economic slowdown. The trip that was exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic with automakers continuing to reel under the pressure of the chip shortage and rising input cost which has significantly impacted production and sales in the country.
However, there is more to the declining numbers posted by leading players like Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai Motor than just the ongoing chip shortage. This can be corroborated by a quick look at their counterpart Tata Motors' numbers in the recent past.
What is worth noting is that the growth rate of Tata Motors has been gradually increasing for the past three to four months with sales in April 2022 jumping by over two-thirds as compared to the corresponding period last year.
The automaker posted a 74 per cent year-on-year surge in sales after selling 72,468 units in April 2022 as compared to 41,729 units in the same month last year. This growth comes at a time when rivals Hyundai India and Maruti Suzuki faced a consistent dip.
Tata’s Time To Shine
One main reason behind Tata’s growth gaining momentum could be its shield against the shrinking growth rate of passenger cars’ sales being reported in India. In March 2022, the passenger vehicle sales dipped by 4 per cent, according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers.
The small car segment, one of the biggest cash cows for automakers in India and a segment which used to make up a massive chunk of the passenger vehicle sales, seems to have taken the hardest hit. Tata Motors, however, has managed to thrive because its growth majorly comes from its SUV section with cars like Nexon and Punch leading the way.
This is also where Tata beats counterparts like Maruti Suzuki. Speaking with a publication recently, Maruti Suzuki chairman RC Bhargava had said, "What has happened is that the small cars used to be the bread and butter (but) I am afraid, the butter has gone away, now it is only bread. There is no butter left in the small car market anymore," talking cautiously about the likelihood of it reversing substantially in the near term.
In April 2022, its year-on-year sales declined 10.22 per cent to 1,21,995 units as against 1,35,879 units last April. The company also recorded a month-on-month sales decline of 8.86 per cent. Its hatchbacks like Alto and S-Presso reported a drastic decline in sales.
The automaker sold 17,134 cars in the mini segment in April 2022 as against 25,041 units in the same month last year. The brand’s compact segment cars, including Baleno, Celerio, Dzire, Ignis, Swift, Tour S and WagonR, also reported a massive decline in sales with the company selling 59,184 compact cars in April 2022 as against 72,318 cars in the same month last year.
The other segments picking up pace has only helped Tata propel its numbers when others seemed to be struggling with the small car segment stuck in a rut. The SUV share in India's passenger vehicles sales, for instance, has more than doubled in the last five years to 38 per cent in 2021, according to data from Jato Dynamics.
In April 2022, Tata Motors doubled its sales with its new range of SUVs. It posted a massive year-on-year growth of 66 per cent after selling 41,587 passenger cars in April 2022 as against 25,095 units a year ago.
In terms of Hyundai, the sales declined 10 per cent in April 2022 after it sold 44,001 cars in April 2022 as against 49,002 cars a year ago. Like Tata, SUVs like Venue and Creta make up Hyundai’s bestsellers. In March, except for the Santro, a hatchback, the sales dropped across the company’s product line-up.
Unlike Maruti and Hyundai, Tata has been posting swelling numbers month after month in 2022. In January, it registered an impressive 51.1 per cent growth which saw a slight dip in February and March with growth rates at 46.9 per cent and 42.6 per cent, respectively. Maruti and Hyundai have been witnessing a consistent dip in sales over the same months with the drop in sales standing at 7 per cent, 7.5 per cent and 8.4 per cent, and 15.4 per cent, 14.6 per cent and 15.2 per cent, respectively.
While Tata is focusing on segments where it can build its stronghold, it is also venturing into newer segments like the electric vehicle segment where it sold 2,322 cars in April 2022.
Restricted Respite
Maruti Suzuki, the current market leader, had reduced its production last year with the chip crisis hurting the availability of components. In September, it saw its steepest output cut at 60%.
In January this year, the auto industry saw a 2.8 per cent drop in sales with 2,94,768 units sold as compared to 3,03,398 in the same month last year. February had ended with a marginal drop of 1.9 per cent with 3,02,756 units sold as compared to 3,08,593 units in the same month last year.
While chip shortage continues to play a spoilsport, there has also been a welcoming 2.7 per cent month-on-month positive growth in overall sales. With restrictions easing, automakers are hoping for better sales this year. | https://www.outlookindia.com/business/chip-shortage-why-tata-motors-not-market-leader-maruti-is-beating-slump-in-auto-sector-news-194683 | 2022-05-03T10:58:58Z | https://www.outlookindia.com/business/chip-shortage-why-tata-motors-not-market-leader-maruti-is-beating-slump-in-auto-sector-news-194683 | true | 1 |
KGF 2 has now become the first Kannada movie to fetch a share of ₹100 crore for its distributors in Karnataka alone, a feat thought unimaginable just a year ago and even prior to the release of the Yash starrer. This has now set a benchmark for all Kannada movies to follow and it'll be interesting to see which film will be the next to achieve this extremely rare milestone in the state. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if the next Kannada film to do so would be KGF 3, which would make it a really long wait.

Currently, KGF 2 stands at a whopping ₹1005 crore gross at the box office worldwide. Starting with a bang amounts to nothing if you can't back it up, right? Well, it certainly looks like KGF 2 was all too aware of that and how. The Rocking Star Yash starrer held exceedingly well in all territories across the country, but surpassed all expectations as many in the trade were expecting it to take a bigger drop through the rest of week 1, given its insane opening. That was not to be though. Also Read - Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Birlas bring out their Rajputana swag at AbhiRa wedding [View Leaked Pics]
The pan-India monster has now turned into a pan-world monster, becoming only the fourth Indian film to breach the ₹1000 crore gross worldwide after Dangal, Baahubali 2 and RRR in that order. RRR has all but folded its lifetime run at ₹1110 crore gross. At the rate at which the former is dominating the box office, it's nothing more than a foregone conclusion that it should breach RRR's lifetime collection and become the third highest grossing Indian movie worldwide. Not many in the trade had thought this to be possible for a primarily a Kannada movie.

K.G.F.: Chapter 2 is produced by Vijay Kiragandur, under the Hombale Films banner. Written and directed by Prashanth Neel, who's also helming Salaar with Prabhas, KGF Chapter 2 stars Yash, Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon and Srinidhi Shetty. Like KGF Chapter 1, the sequel is once again being presented in the North by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Excel Entertainment along with Anil Thadani's AA Films.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glatfelter Corporation (NYSE: GLT), a leading global supplier of engineered materials, today reported a loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2022 of $108.3 million, or $2.42 per share, compared with net income of $8.4 million, or $0.19 per share, in the same period a year ago. On an adjusted basis, earnings from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021 were a loss of $6.2 million, or $0.14 per share, compared with adjusted earnings of $8.5 million, or $0.19 per share, respectively. Adjusted earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure for which a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP-based measure is provided within this release. The 2021 results include the acquisitions of Georgia-Pacific’s U.S. nonwovens business (“Mount Holly”) and Jacob Holm ("Spunlace") as of May 13, 2021 and October 29, 2021, respectively.
Consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, totaled $381.7 million and $225.7 million, respectively. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the Composite Fibers and Airlaid Materials (including Mount Holly) segments increased by 0.4% and 83.2%, respectively. The Spunlace segment, formed in connection with the Jacob Holm acquisition, had net sales of approximately $96.4 million.
The Russia/Ukraine military conflict and associated implications are expected to have a significant impact on the Dresden wallcover operations and the Composite Fibers segment. In addition, on April 8, 2022, wallcover base paper and tea filter products were placed on the European Union sanctions list, prohibiting export of these products into Russia for the foreseeable future. As a result, Glatfelter recorded a non-cash asset impairment charge of $61.3 million related to its Dresden operations. Additionally, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $56.1 million for the Composite Fibers segment related to the long-term fair value implication of the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the unprecedented energy prices in Europe. A $3.9 million partial write-down of Russia and Ukraine accounts receivable and inventory was also taken in the quarter.
“During the first quarter, we continued to combat escalating raw material and energy price inflation across our entire business but most significantly in our Composite Fibers segment, while actively implementing additional price increases,” said Dante C. Parrini, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “By the end of the quarter, we converted 35% of our Composite Fibers revenue base to a dynamic cost pass-through pricing model and implemented price increases for many other customers. In addition, we are actively addressing the impacts of the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict, including actions recently taken by the EU to place wallcover and tea filter products on the list of sanctioned materials, by fully complying with export regulations and financial transactions within the banking system.”
Mr. Parrini continued, “In our recently acquired Spunlace business, our improvement initiatives are showing signs of progress. Volumes for the quarter were ahead of expectations and the team continues to implement measures to drive further efficiencies and aggressively manage costs. While input costs and energy prices remain a challenge, we are generating higher order volumes and expect our intensified integration efforts to return this segment to profitability in the second quarter.”
Mr. Parrini added, “Shipments in Airlaid Materials were well ahead of last year with robust demand across nearly every product category. Mount Holly added $27 million in revenue and legacy Glatfelter volumes grew by 22%. While our contractual cost pass-through agreements and customer price increases provided relief from raw material inflation, operating profit was constrained by higher energy prices in Europe. Overall, this segment continues to perform very well as a leader in the industry.”
Mr. Parrini concluded, “We expect headwinds from energy inflation in Europe, supply chain disruptions, and the crisis in Russia/Ukraine to persist in the near to mid-term. However, we are confident the commercial actions we are taking in Composite Fibers to achieve our 2022 target of 50% revenue conversion to a cost pass-through model will result in stronger profitability and reduced volatility for the segment over time. While we remained compliant with our financial covenants for the quarter, we are working with our bank group to establish a debt covenant framework within our credit agreement that reflects the current economic and geopolitical environment and ensures we have sufficient financial flexibility for the future.”
First Quarter Results
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of results on a GAAP basis to an adjusted earnings basis, a non-GAAP measure:
(1) Tax effect on adjustments calculated based on the incremental effective tax rate of the jurisdiction in which each adjustment originated.
(2) Reflects the tax effect of applying certain provisions of the CARES Act of 2020.
Composite Fibers
Composite Fibers’ net sales decreased $5.4 million or 3.8% in the first quarter of 2022, compared to the year-ago quarter. Higher selling prices of $17.6 million were more than offset by lower shipments of 17.4% and unfavorable currency translation of $6.0 million. Wallcover shipments were below prior year by 34% primarily due to lower shipments to customers in Russia and Ukraine, mostly resulting from the geopolitical conflict in this region.
Composite Fibers had an operating loss for the first quarter of $0.3 million compared with $16.1 million operating income in the first quarter of 2021. Energy, raw material and freight inflation of $29.1 million were only partially offset by $17.6 million in higher selling prices, reducing earnings by a net $11.5 million. Lower shipments negatively impacted results by $1.8 million and operations were unfavorable by $4.0 million, mainly driven by market downtime in wallcover production and general inflation. The impact of currency and related hedging positively impacted earnings by $0.9 million.
Airlaid Materials
Airlaid Materials’ net sales increased $65.0 million in the year-over-year comparison driven by the Mount Holly acquisition, higher shipments in all major product categories, and higher selling prices from cost-pass-through arrangements with customers. Shipments were 49.2% higher driven by strong growth in the tabletop, wipes, and hygiene product categories. Currency translation was $5.2 million unfavorable.
Airlaid Materials’ first quarter operating income of $12.2 million was $5.0 million higher when compared to the first quarter of 2021. Higher shipments positively impacted results by $8.0 million. Selling price increases of $18.4 million fully offset the higher raw material prices, primarily due to raw material cost-pass-through provisions and recently implemented price increases. Existing energy surcharges were unable to fully offset elevated energy prices in Europe, reducing earnings by net $3.2 million. Operations were favorable $1.3 million driven by higher production, which offset general inflationary pressures. The impact of currency and related hedging negatively impacted earnings by $1.1 million.
Spunlace
Spunlace shipments for the first quarter were approximately 10% higher than expectations based on the two-month run rate from the previous quarter under Glatfelter ownership. An operating loss of $1.6 million was approximately $0.4 million favorable compared to our expectations, mainly driven by higher shipments in the consumer wipes category positively impacting results by approximately $0.8 million. Higher raw material and energy costs unfavorably impacted earnings by $2.9 million and were only partially offset by higher selling prices and energy surcharges of $2.3 million. All other costs combined were $0.5 million higher compared to the previous quarter.
Other Financial Information
The amount of operating expense not allocated to a reporting segment in the Segment Financial Information totaled $126.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $5.9 million in the same period a year ago. Excluding the items identified to present “adjusted earnings,” unallocated expenses for the first quarter of 2022 decreased $1.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2021.
In the first quarter of 2022, our loss from continuing operations totaled $125.1 million and we recorded an income tax benefit of $16.8 million. On adjusted pre-tax loss of $3.9 million, the income tax provision was $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, which primarily related to reserves for uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances for losses for which no tax benefit could be recognized. The comparable amounts in the first quarter of 2021 were adjusted pre-tax income of $15.5 million and income tax expense of $7.0 million, respectively.
Balance Sheet and Other Information
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $80.5 million as of March 31, 2022, and net debt was $728.8 million compared with $648.9 million at the end of 2021. Net leverage, as calculated in accordance with the financial covenants of our bank credit agreement, was in compliance and increased to 4.8 times at March 31, 2022, versus 3.8 times at December 31, 2021.
Capital expenditures during the three months ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, totaled $12.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Adjusted free cash flow for the first three months of 2022 was a use of $75.4 million compared with a use of $8.9 million in the same period of 2021. (Refer to the calculation of this measure provided in the tables at the end of this release).

Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes a measure of earnings before the effects of certain specifically identified items, which is referred to as adjusted earnings, a non-GAAP measure. The Company uses non-GAAP adjusted earnings to supplement the understanding of its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings is meant to present the financial performance of the Company’s core operations, which consist of the production and sale of engineered materials. Management and the Company’s Board of Directors use non-GAAP adjusted earnings to evaluate the performance of the Company’s fundamental business in relation to prior periods and established business plans. For purposes of determining adjusted earnings, the following items are excluded:
- Strategic initiatives. These adjustments primarily reflect professional and legal fees incurred directly related to evaluating and executing certain strategic initiatives including costs associated with acquisitions, related integrations and charges incurred to step-up acquired inventory to fair-value.
- Corporate headquarters relocation. These adjustments reflect costs incurred in connection with the strategic relocation of the Company’s corporate headquarters to Charlotte, NC. The costs are primarily related to employee relocation costs and exit costs at the former corporate headquarters.
- Cost optimization actions. These adjustments reflect charges incurred in connection with initiatives to optimize the cost structure of the Company, improve efficiencies or other objectives. Such actions may include asset rationalization, headcount reductions or similar actions. These adjustments, which have occurred at various times in the past, are irregular in timing and relate to specific identified programs to reduce or optimize the cost structure of a particular operating segment or the corporate function.
- Goodwill and Other Asset Impairment Charge. This adjustment represents a non-cash charge recorded to reduce the carrying amount of certain long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill of our Dresden facility and the Composite Fibers reporting segment. The impairment was directly related to the adverse impact of the Russia/Ukraine military conflict on our projected revenue and EBITDA.
- Russia / Ukraine conflict charges. This adjustment represents a non-cash charge recorded to reduce the carrying amount of accounts receivable and inventory directly related to the Russia/Ukraine military conflict.
- Timberland sales and related costs. These adjustments exclude gains from the sales of timberlands as these items are not considered to be part of our core business, ongoing results of operations or cash flows. These adjustments are irregular in timing and amount and may benefit our operating results.
Unlike net income determined in accordance with GAAP, non-GAAP adjusted earnings does not reflect all charges and gains recorded by the Company for the applicable period and, therefore, does not present a complete picture of the Company’s results of operations for the respective period. However, non-GAAP adjusted earnings provide a measure of how the Company’s core operations are performing, which management believes is useful to investors because it allows comparison of such operations from period to period. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(1) Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 has been restated to add back share-based compensation consistent with our amended credit agreement. The share-based compensation adjustment represents the non-cash amount of share-based compensation expense included in results of operations.

Ferrari North Europe has confirmed that the Ferrari Challenge UK 2021 season will start at Brands Hatch on 14-16 May as originally planned. The racing activities will take place on the Brands Hatch Indy circuit on 14 & 15 May, and on the fabled Brand Hatch F1 GP circuit on Sunday 16 May as in 2020.
Further races take place throughout the year at Donington, Snetterton, and Oulton Park, with the event at Silverstone also being a Ferrari Racing Days event, with additional on-track action from the F1 Clienti and XX Programme. All events are also complimented by the Pirelli Ferrari formula classic racing series, organised and managed by the Ferrari Owners Club GB, one of the oldest Ferrari Owners clubs in the world.
The Ferrari Challenge UK is now in its 3rd year, and it remains the brand’s only racing series dedicated to a single market. New for the UK series in 2021 is the Ferrari 488 Challenge EVO which features an increase in the car’s overall performance and consistency in race conditions, as well as improved handling for even better feedback and driving pleasure. This is the only car eligible for the 2021 season.
Also new for 2021 is the option of drivers entering a single race at any race weekend, rather than only being able to enter for the full season. This provides added flexibility and makes the Ferrari Challenge UK more accessible for clients who want to race at specific circuits, or who cannot commit to the full season. Ferrari North Europe is also offering a special package for drivers who choose to enter the first round at Brands Hatch in May, and who then upgrade their participation to a full-season entry. Clients interested in these new packages should contact their official Ferrari dealer for further details. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/corse-clienti/articles/ferrari-challenge-uk-2021-season-start-confirmed-at-brands-hatch-in-may | 2022-05-03T11:12:06Z | https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/corse-clienti/articles/ferrari-challenge-uk-2021-season-start-confirmed-at-brands-hatch-in-may | true | 4 |
In May there will be some huge financial changes and deadlines affecting Universal Credit, your Tesco Clubcard points and more.
The money changes come after April saw a huge increase in bills across the board as the cost of living crisis deepens.
Here we explain all the major financial changes and deadlines over the next four weeks and how they will affect you.
What are the financial changes in May?
Rise in interest rates
Interest rates are expected to increase from 0.75% to 1% this Thursday 5 May.
This increase would be the highest level for 13 years as the Bank of England is battling to decrease inflation which hit a new 30 year high in March of 7%.
Inflation is expected to reach 8% later this year.
The base rate is what the BoE charges other banks and lenders - this affects what you are charged if you borrow money, and how much interest you get back on your savings.
For those with a mortgage, if you have a fixed-rate deal then your rates won’t change if interest rates are hiked.
If you are on a tracker mortgage and interest rates are hiked, then your rates will go up as these move in line with the base rate.
Those who are on a standard variable rate (SVR) mortgage may see rates increase, as it’ll be down to your lender to decide whether to pass on the increase.
For savers, interest rate rises are generally good news as it means you could see a higher return on your money - if you have got a variable rate account.
However, there is no guarantee that banks and lenders will move in line with a potential hike.
Some also may take time to announce any changes.
Universal Credit
Up to 2.6 million people on old-style legacy benefits are expected to move over to Universal Credit from 9 May.
This process had been paused due to Covid - but the Government wants everyone to be moved over by the end of 2024.
People will start getting a “migration notice” in the coming months.
There will be a three-month deadline to claim Universal Credit or you will have your benefits stopped.
Only around 500 people will be moved to Universal Credit at first, but the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will step up the pace after a few months.
Those being affected are benefit claimants who get the following payments:
Working Tax Credit
Child Tax Credit
Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
Income Support
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Housing Benefit
If you claim the above benefits and want to move to Universal Credit straight away, you can ask to be moved over now.
But it is advised to do your research first.
Officials say 55% will be better off on the Universal Credit, but some will be worse off in the long term.
You can’t move back to the old-style benefits once you’re on Universal Credit.
You can use an online benefits calculator from charities such as Turn2Us and EntitledTo to see how the change will affect you.
Council tax rebates
Council tax rebates worth £150 started dropping into the bank accounts of thousands of eligible households from last month.
However, not everyone has received the payment yet.
Some households face waiting months for the £150 to land in their account, even until September.
Councils officially have until 30 September to issue the money.
Some councils are expecting payments to start in May.
Those who pay their council tax by Direct Debit will receive the payments first, as councils have their details on the system already.
The council tax rebate will apply to homes in council tax bands A, B, C or D in England and Wales - roughly 80% of properties.
It won’t apply to those who live in council tax bands E, F, G and H (or I as well, in Wales).
Scotland residents will also be entitled to £150 off if they are in bands A to D - and will also qualify if they’re currently getting a council tax reduction as well.
Sky price increases
Sky landline customers saw the cost of making a call with Sky Talk on a home phone rise by 10% from the beginning of May.
You now pay 22p per minute, up from 20p, to talk to family and friends.
This applies to Pay As You Talk customers making outgoing calls to mobile and home phone numbers.
International calls may be charged at different rates, depending on your tariff.
You may want to consider looking for a cheaper deal if you are not happy with the price increases.
You can compare prices online through Uswitch.com.
Another option is to consider haggling with Sky, if you don’t want to leave but want to lower your monthly bill.
Sky will also bring back EU roaming charges from 3 May.
This will cost £2 per day for holidaymakers who use mobile data, make calls and texts outside the UK.
Tesco Clubcard
Tesco shoppers have only a few weeks left to use £17 million worth of unspent Clubcard vouchers before they expire in May.
The supermarket said the vouchers must be used by 31 May 2022.
To get Tesco vouchers through its Clubcard loyalty scheme, customers have to build up points by spending money in stores.
Shoppers get one point for every £1 they spend in store and online, or one point for every £2 spent on fuel.
Voxi introduces EU roaming charges
Voxi, a sub-brand of Vodafone, is introducing mobile roaming charges for new and existing customers who holiday in Europe from 27 May.
Customers will need to purchase a European roaming pass to make calls, send texts and use data in 49 European countries and destinations.
The roaming passes cost:
£2 for a one-day pass
£4 for a two-day pass
£8 for a eight-day pass
£15 for a 15-day pass
The roaming passes will also include unlimited texts and minutes, even if that’s not what your UK Sim usually offers. | https://www.scotsman.com/read-this/6-money-changes-to-be-aware-of-in-may-and-how-they-will-affect-you-3678092 | 2022-05-03T11:12:07Z | https://www.scotsman.com/read-this/6-money-changes-to-be-aware-of-in-may-and-how-they-will-affect-you-3678092 | false | 22 |

A new spin on three easy Mother's Day recipes that the kids can help prepare
DENVER, May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A special gift and a homemade card will always make her smile.

After a busy week juggling home life, work, and other projects, it's important to give mom that much-needed break she deserves. That's why Beef. It's What's For Dinner., funded by the Beef Checkoff, is serving up a few beefy recipes that will not only look like you put in the hours to impress, but will taste like you did as well.
Put a flower in a vase, have the kids get the tray ready and surprise mom with this Country Style Waffle Sandwich breakfast in bed. Made with Basic Country Beef Breakfast Sausage, eggs, frozen waffles, and toppings of your choice, this recipe is versatile and takes less than 30 minutes to make. Whether mom loves savory flavors like cheese and salsa or has a sweet tooth and enjoy syrup over her sandwich, this recipe is perfect for letting kids help customize just the way mom likes it.
Another new and innovative twist using beef breakfast sausage are these Beef Sticky Buns. While most people are accustomed to basic cinnamon buns, the protein boost from the breakfast sausage accompanied by other savory ingredients will exceed all expectations or preconceived notions. Using either homemade or premade pizza dough followed by onion, spinach, mushrooms, cheese and jalapeno pepper jelly, this sweet and salty treat is best for brunch or for mom to snack on.

Whatever the family doesn't devour can also be saved for leftovers.

German opposition leader visits Kyiv, Scholz refuses to go
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Olaf ScholzGerman politician and 9th Federal Chancellor of Germany
- Frank-Walter SteinmeierPresident of Germany
BERLIN (AP) — Germany's conservative opposition leader was expected to arrive in Kyiv on Tuesday for meetings with Ukrainian officials, as Chancellor Olaf Scholz made clear he would not be visiting Ukraine any time soon.
Scholz has traded barbs with Ukrainian officials in recent weeks because of Kyiv's refusal to invite Germany's head of state, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, whom Ukraine accuses of cozying up to Russia during his time as foreign minister.
“It can’t work that a country that provides so much military aid, so much financial aid ... you then say that the president can’t come,” Scholz told public broadcaster ZDF late Monday.
Ukraine's ambassador in Berlin, Andrij Melnyk, responded Tuesday by calling Scholz's refusal to visit “not very statesmanlike.”
“This is about the most brutal war of extermination since the Nazi invasion of Ukraine, it’s not kindergarten,” he said.
Opposition leader Friedrich Merz, who heads former Chancellor Angela Merkel's center-right Union bloc, was expected to meet Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, the chairman of Ukraine’s unicameral parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk, and other senior politicians in Kyiv. A meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was not expected.
The Union bloc joined the country's three governing parties in a symbolic vote backing the delivery of heavy weapons to Ukraine last week — a position supported by the majority of Germans. Critics, particularly on the far-left and right, have argued against the move, saying Germany risks being drawn into a conflict with Russia. | https://news.yahoo.com/german-opposition-leader-visits-kyiv-102157598.html | 2022-05-03T11:17:15Z | https://news.yahoo.com/german-opposition-leader-visits-kyiv-102157598.html | false | 7 |

PORTLAND, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Presidents of colleges and universities that have maintained strong positions in the newly released 2021 Social Mobility Index (SMI) published by CollegeNET, Inc. are applying strategies that enroll and keep economically disadvantaged students in school despite mounting obstacles. They are speaking about the growing importance of their mission in the face of both Covid-19 and diminishing social mobility in the U.S.
- S. David Wu, President, Baruch College, CUNY — “For the seventh consecutive year, Baruch College ranked #1 in the nation on CollegeNET’s Social Mobility Index (SMI), the premier benchmark recognizing colleges that move students from low-income families into good paying jobs. The CollegeNET #1 ranking has once again confirmed Baruch’s unique value proposition — achieving academic excellence while advancing the social mobility of our students. At a time when the value and relevance of a college education is increasingly questioned, our ability to propel students from all social and economic backgrounds to excellence and opportunity is more important than ever before.”
- Michelle J. Anderson, President, Brooklyn College, CUNY — “Once again, Brooklyn College’s transformative work helping students into rewarding careers has been recognized in the Social Media Index for 2021. As we continue to work our way through one of the most challenging periods in our nation’s history, our focus continues to be offering whatever assistance our students need to succeed. Whether it be in the classroom or emotional and financial support, enhancing Brooklyn College student success is our number one goal.”
- Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval, Principal, Fresno State University — “Fresno State University has been ranked among the top five universities in social mobility [by CollegeNET’s SMI] for the fifth consecutive year … This ranking shows how Fresno State University transforms its lives through world-class comprehensive higher education, which directly empowers the economic and social landscape of the community.”
- Stephen Percy, President, Portland State University — “A new ranking from CollegeNET places PSU in the top 10% nationwide for social mobility and No.1 in Oregon at 114th out of 1,549 institutions … This recognition is proof that our focus on serving students and having a transformative effect on their lives is working. Building economic opportunity and preparing students for meaningful futures speaks to the core of who we are.”
- Patti Neuhold-Ravikumar, President, University of Central Oklahoma — “We are incredibly proud to have [CollegeNET’s] nationally recognized data and ranking as evidence of living our mission to empower students. UCO offers students a promising path to socioeconomic success and a runway to a bright future,”
- Richard Yao, Interim President, California State University, Channel Islands — “To hear that CSUCI has been rising steadily in the [Social Mobility Index] rankings … is gratifying, but we’re especially pleased to hear that our students are continuing to succeed during a persisting pandemic.”
- Deborah Curtis, President, Indiana State University — “We’re proud to have been recognized once again by CollegeNET for Indiana State University’s life-changing education and its impact on our students. Improving lives and serving the public with high-quality, affordable higher education is at the core of our distinct mission.”
- Thomas A. Parham, President, California State University, Dominguez Hills — “Our university’s stellar performance on the Social Mobility Index is a testament to both the academic and co-curricular mission of the Dominguez Hills campus, and the dedication and commitment of our faculty and staff.”
Redefining the Notion of Prestige in Higher Education
The SMI was founded on the principle that growing disparity in economic opportunity is the most pressing problem of our time, and that higher education is in the strongest position to solve it. The SMI seeks to redirect the attribution of “prestige” away from colleges that are merely wealthy, and toward those that are advancing U.S. economic opportunity and social mobility.
“Unlike other college rankings that celebrate wealth and its proxies,” says CollegeNET President Jim Wolfston, “the SMI helps families and policymakers determine which colleges are addressing the national problem of economic mobility. Administrators have a better chance to help strengthen U.S. economic mobility and the promise of the American Dream if they can identify and learn from colleges that are skilled at doing this.”
“Given that the U.S. is now the least economically mobile among developed nations,” says Wolfston, “it is irresponsible to say an education institution is ‘better’ because it has a huge endowment, or because it admits students with higher SAT/ACT scores — which are most tightly correlated to family income. It is irresponsible to say an institution is ‘better’ because it drives up admissions application counts, turns away more students and then boasts about its ‘selectivity.’ In today’s world, where the American Dream is increasingly threatened, real prestige must accord to universities that educate and advance all motivated students, regardless of their economic background. This is the revolution in mission and values that the Social Mobility Index seeks to advance.”
Higher Education’s Vital Role in the Learning Age
“Higher Education is the most important asset in the Learning Age,” Wolfston explained in his keynote address at Old Dominion University’s Social Mobility Symposium. “If we can distribute this vital asset across the economic spectrum, we can optimize our nation’s human capital development, prepare the next generation for citizenship and ensure social and economic opportunity. Most importantly, by rejecting the current trend toward on-campus economic homogeneity, a higher education institution can offer its students the chance to encounter a more challenging mix of people with diverse ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds. Collisions with the unexpected and unfamiliar are what best sharpen and prepare innovative minds. Thus, economic inclusion is not only a solution to a social justice issue, but also an optimizing strategy for training tomorrow’s innovators.”
Changing the Value System in U.S. Higher Education
CollegeNET is the producer of the new documentary film, RIGGED. The full-length feature explains how the long prevailing Wealthist value system in U.S. higher education limits opportunity and upward mobility and thus undermines U.S. democracy. RIGGED builds on the historical premise that growing economic imbalance ultimately leads to social unrest, political upheaval, and war. Through interviews with authors, historians, educators, and students, RIGGED shows how the value system underlying U.S. higher education constitutes a major risk factor for triggering these historic consequences and how this value system can be changed. Since its release in April, RIGGED has been awarded Best Documentary Feature at three festivals: Toronto Magazine Film Festival, the Mindfield Film Festival, and the World Premiere Film Awards. RIGGED has also been selected for nine upcoming regional and international film festivals and nominated for Best Documentary at the New Vision International Film Festival in Amsterdam. RIGGED is currently streaming on iTunes, Apple TV, Vudu, and Google Play.

Blackburn Rovers Transfer Rumours
Taking advantage of Blackburn contract situation can help West Brom avoid 2021/22 issue: Opinion
Steve Bruce has highlighted midfield creativity as an issue that West Bromwich Albion need to solve in the summer, in what looks likely to be a busy window for the West Midlands club.
They’ve ended the current campaign in mid-table and will need to make significant improvements next term if they’re to challenge for promotion.
Midfielders Alex Mowatt (four goals, two assists), Adam Reach (one goal, two assists), Jake Livermore (two assists), Jayson Molumby (one goal), and Taylor Gardner-Hickman (no goals, no assists) have contributed just six goals and six assists between them all season – illustrating just why Bruce is keen to strengthen in that area.
Albion need their midfielders to have more influence in the final third next season and it’s no surprise to see them linked with Joe Rothwell at Blackburn Rovers.
Quiz: Which club did West Brom sign these 24 players from in the 1990s?
According to journalist Alan Nixon via Patreon, the Baggies are keen to take advantage of Rothwell’s contract situation at Ewood Park and have been monitoring him ahead of a potential approach this summer.
The 27-year-old is out of contract at Blackburn at the end of the season and could be part of a potential exodus with a number of key players in the same position and Tony Mowbray set to depart as well.
He would add just the sort of creative spark in midfield that Albion are looking for while he’s a proven force at Championship level.
When Blackburn were flying earlier in the season it was Rothwell pulling the strings and he’s set to finish with more goal involvements (three goals, 10 assists) than all five of the West Brom midfielders we’ve highlighted combined.
Landing the former Manchester United academy player on a free transfer would represent an excellent bit of business from West Brom and help them avoid the midfield issue they’ve faced at times in 2021/22 next term.
There will no doubt be competition but unless there are Premier League offers, you feel a team with clear promotion aspirations like Albion would be an attractive proposition for him.
If they can land him early, it would be a fantastic way to start the summer window. | https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/taking-advantage-of-blackburn-contract-situation-can-help-west-brom-avoid-2021-22-issue-opinion/ | 2022-05-03T11:27:27Z | https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/taking-advantage-of-blackburn-contract-situation-can-help-west-brom-avoid-2021-22-issue-opinion/ | false | 1 |

Nico Schlotterbeck’s performance at Freiburg has made him, at 22, one of the Bundesliga’s central defenders of the season. The footballer is not only the second player who contributes the most value to his team. Also, according to Olocip, He is the ninth player with the most impact and the second best central defender in the competition. Data that make him present and future, an ideal mix of ingredients for Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund to be interested in him. However, it has finally been the black and yellow who have convinced him. The club has made official this Monday the signing of the German, who has already passed the medical examination and has signed until 2027.
Dortmund, who will pay Freiburg 20 million plus five in bonuses according to Bild, will have a player from summer to reinforce their defensive line. Because, despite his youth, Schlotterbeck is the best in the Bundesliga in interceptions (and the third German), In addition to standing out in defensive actions with the ball, non-aerial offensive duels and recoveries.
In addition, at Dortmund they are not only happy to get a player with great projection. The future sports director of Dortmund, Sebastian Kehl, has highlighted that, like other young players have done, Schlotterbeck has signed looking more at his growth than the economic part: “Nico has great potential. He did not choose the best financial offer among the many interested clubs, but deliberately chose BVB to further develop the sport here.” The German is the second signing announced by the black and yellow team, and the second to opt for playing at Signal Iduna park to the detriment of Bayern: Süle will leave the team coached by Nagelsmann this summer.
This course the German has played 35 games between the Bundesliga and the Cup, and has scored four goals and has provided two assists. 2,548 minutes played in which he has become Freiburg’s best in recoveries or successful defensive duels, and the second best in clearances, aerial duels or blocked balls, among others. But, despite being a central defender, he is also standing out at Freiburg for his offensive actions: he generates a difference of one goal with his actions every 246 minutes. In addition, he is the second most outstanding in previous passes to assists and headed goals, and the third with the most offensive impact with the ball in play or successful offensive duels.
ascending evolution
Schlotterbeck, third best under-23 footballer in the German league after Haaland and Diaby, He has stated that for the moment he wants to focus on the Bundesliga games that he has left to play this season with Freiburg, who are fighting to stay in the Champions League positions.
When this course is over, The footballer, who has already made his debut with the German national team, will focus on his new team with which he can continue to double his market value: 4.2 million in the 2019/20 season, 8.9 in the following, up to the 22.6 ha that has been shot up in this 21/22 season, according to Olocip.

Management Comments
"CEIX delivered a very strong 1Q22 performance across all of our business segments, shipping 6.5 million tons out of the Pennsylvania Mining Complex (PAMC) and 3.6 million tons from the CONSOL Marine Terminal (CMT), generating $118 million in free cash flow and increasing our unrestricted cash position by more than $70 million, while making debt repayments of nearly $39 million. Our operations ran very well in the quarter, as we moved past the geological issues we encountered in the second half of 2021 and have seen an ongoing improvement in railroad performance since the end of 2021. Additionally, our CONSOL Marine Terminal recorded its highest quarterly terminal revenue in its history. We continued to take advantage of the ongoing strength in the coal markets and layered in additional contract tons for 2023 and beyond. Finally, our Itmann preparation plant remains on schedule with start-up expected in the second half of 2022."
"On the safety front, our Harvey Mine, Bailey Preparation Plant and CONSOL Marine Terminal each had ZERO employee recordable incidents during the first quarter of 2022. Our 1Q22 total recordable incident rate of 0.52 at the PAMC continues to track significantly and consistently below the national average for underground bituminous coal mines."
Pennsylvania Mining Complex Review and Outlook
PAMC Sales and Marketing
Our sales team sold 6.5 million tons of PAMC coal during the first quarter of 2022 generating coal revenue of $473.0 million for the PAMC segment. After adjusting for the effect of settlements on commodity risk derivative instruments, the PAMC generated an average realized coal revenue per ton sold1 of $59.60, compared to 6.9 million tons at an average realized coal revenue per ton sold1 of $41.39 in the year-ago period. The significant improvement in the average realized coal revenue per ton sold1 was due to substantial improvements in the coal, natural gas, and electric power markets compared to the prior-year quarter.
On the domestic front, the commodity markets continued their upward trend during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior-year period and resulted in some of the highest quarterly commodity pricing levels we've seen since becoming an independent publicly traded company. Henry Hub natural gas spot prices averaged $4.67/mmBtu in 1Q22, a 33% improvement compared to the prior-year period. PJM West day-ahead power prices averaged $55.58/MWh in the quarter, an improvement of 82% compared to 1Q21, and the highest average quarterly level we've witnessed since becoming an independent public company. Despite the ongoing strength in domestic demand and commodity pricing, supply tightness has remained a consistent theme. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates in its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook that domestic coal consumption will increase to 560 million tons in 2022; however, total primary supply and waste coal production, after accounting for estimated export tons, will be 535 million tons, which requires an inventory drawdown of approximately 25 million tons at domestic power plants. The EIA estimates that the U.S. will finish 2022 with 70 million tons of coal inventory at domestic power plants, compared to 95 million tons at the end of 2021. The majority of our domestic customers' stockpiles remain below target levels, and demand for our product remains robust.
On the export front, seaborne thermal coal markets remained volatile in the first quarter of 2022, with API2 prices averaging $234/ton compared to $67/ton in the first quarter of 2021. Global LNG prices remained elevated with the Asian spot market benchmark price (JKM) averaging $31.30/mmBtu in 1Q22, a 240% increase compared to the prior-year period. The lack of supply response has continued to be a general theme in the coal space since early 2021; however, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the subsequent response to it, could contribute to extending the duration of this market tightness. Wood Mackenzie estimates that with Russia supplying 26% of the seaborne high calorific value market, "actions by individual buyers will keep the market tight". Wood Mackenzie also points out that they expect Europe to adopt a number of short term strategies to end its dependence on Russian energy, one of which is a focus on increasing coal-fired generation. Additionally, it expects European utilities to postpone plant closures with energy flows being impacted at least through 2023.
We have continued to secure additional coal sales contracts, and, as such, we remain near fully-contracted for 2022 and have increased our 2023 sold position to 16.3 million tons.
Operations Summary
During the first quarter of 2022, we had a strong operating performance and ran our four available longwalls at the PAMC at a normalized run-rate after encountering operational and geological issues during 3Q21 and early 4Q21. Additionally, the transportation delays that limited our production in 4Q21 have steadily improved throughout 1Q22, as our transportation partners continued to improve staffing levels and move past their COVID-related labor issues. The PAMC produced 6.4 million tons in 1Q22, marking the second consecutive quarter in which we have increased our production. This compares to 7.0 million tons in the year-ago quarter. The reduction compared to the prior-year was due to running our five available longwalls in 1Q21, compared to four available longwalls in 1Q22 as we pulled back development of our fifth longwall during the COVID-19 related demand decline in 2020.
CEIX's total costs and expenses during the first quarter of 2022 were $366.5 million, compared to $310.6 million in the year-ago quarter, and CEIX's total coal revenue during the first quarter of 2022 was $476.4 million, compared to $285.5 million in the year-ago period. Including the effects of settlements of commodity derivative instruments at a loss of $86.3 million, total realized coal revenue1 in 1Q22 was $390.1 million. The significant improvement in total realized coal revenue1, despite lower production and sales volumes compared to the prior-year quarter, was the result of an $18.21 improvement in average realized coal revenue per ton sold1 at the Pennsylvania Mining Complex as demand for our product specifically and coal markets generally have steadily strengthened since the prior-year period. Additionally, total revenue in 1Q22 was impacted by a $101.9 million pre-tax unrealized mark-to-market loss related to commodity derivative instruments, as the forward API2 curve remained volatile in the quarter. Average cash cost of coal sold per ton1 for the first quarter of 2022 was $29.91, compared to $24.44 in the year-ago quarter. The increase was due to a combination of factors, including the ongoing development work associated with the fifth longwall, significant inflationary pressures that continued to weigh on our input costs such as labor, maintenance, supply, contractor and project expenses and lower operating leverage due to less sales tonnage.
CONSOL Marine Terminal Review
For the first quarter of 2022, throughput volumes at the CMT were 3.6 million tons, compared to 4.1 million tons in the year-ago period. Terminal revenues and CMT total costs and expenses were $21.4 million and $10.5 million, respectively, compared to $18.2 million and $9.5 million, respectively, during the year-ago period. Despite lower throughput tonnage, terminal revenue was significantly improved in 1Q22 compared to 1Q21 as the throughput rate per ton was substantially improved due to increased export demand and commodity pricing strength. As a result, 1Q22 marked the highest terminal revenue in the history of the CMT. CMT operating cash costs1 were $5.9 million in 1Q22, compared to $5.3 million in 1Q21. CONSOL Marine Terminal net income and CONSOL Marine Terminal Adjusted EBITDA1 were $11.6 million and $14.5 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $9.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively, in the year-ago period.
Itmann Update
Our Itmann project continued to progress according to expectations during the first quarter of 2022, and the project remains on track, with preparation plant start-up and scale-up to full run-rate production expected during the second half of 2022.
- Relocation of the existing prep plant to the Itmann site is proceeding on schedule, with disassembly of the existing plant complete and approximately 80% of the structure and equipment has already been transported to Itmann.
- The main Itmann plant building foundations are complete and significant progress was made with structural steel erection and plant circuitry installation during 1Q22.
- The new rail siding and mainline construction activities are well underway and are on target to meet the overall project schedule.
- The mine produced approximately 44,000 tons of low-vol metallurgical coal (on a clean coal equivalent basis) and sold approximately 19,000 tons in 1Q22. Most of the unsold inventory from 1Q22 is scheduled for export shipment through the CMT in 2Q22.
- We continue to grow staffing levels consistent with our production ramp-up plan for 2022.
Debt Repurchases Update
During the first quarter of 2022, CEIX made mandatory repayments of $6.5 million, $6.3 million and $0.7 million on our equipment financed debt, Term Loan A and Term Loan B, respectively. Additionally, CEIX spent $26.4 million to repurchase $25.0 million in principal amount of its second lien notes, as we continued to execute on our stated goal of reducing our total debt levels. This brings our total debt repayments and repurchases in the quarter to $38.5 million (excluding the premium paid on the second lien notes).
2022 Guidance and Outlook
Based on our current contracted position, estimated prices and production plans, we are providing the following financial and operating performance guidance for full fiscal year 2022:
- 2022 targeted PAMC coal sales volume of 23.0-25.0 million tons
- PAMC average realized coal revenue per ton sold2 expectation of $58.00-$61.00
- PAMC average cash cost of coal sold per ton2 expectation of $29.00-$31.00
- Capital expenditures (including Itmann development): $162-$195 million
- Expect to produce between 0.3 and 0.5 million tons of coal at the Itmann Mine (on a clean coal equivalent basis) with the majority of it in 2H2022

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We evaluate our cost of coal sold and cash cost of coal sold on an aggregate basis. We define cost of coal sold as operating and other production costs related to produced tons sold, along with changes in coal inventory, both in volumes and carrying values. The cost of coal sold includes items such as direct operating costs, royalty and production taxes, direct administration costs, and depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on production assets. Cost of coal sold excludes any indirect costs, such as selling, general and administrative costs, freight expenses, interest expenses, depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on non-production assets and other costs not directly attributable to the production of coal. The cash cost of coal sold includes cost of coal sold less depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on production assets. We define average cash cost of coal sold per ton as cash cost of coal sold divided by tons sold. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to cost of coal sold, cash cost of coal sold and average cash cost of coal sold per ton is total costs and expenses.
The following table presents a reconciliation of cost of coal sold, cash cost of coal sold and average cash cost of coal sold per ton to total costs and expenses, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a historical basis, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except per ton information).
We evaluate our average realized coal revenue per ton sold, average margin per ton sold and average cash margin per ton sold on a per-ton basis. We define average realized coal revenue per ton sold as total coal revenue, net of settlements of commodity derivatives divided by tons sold. We define average margin per ton sold as average realized coal revenue per ton sold, net of average cost of coal sold per ton. We define average cash margin per ton sold as average realized coal revenue per ton sold, net of average cash cost of coal sold per ton. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to average realized coal revenue per ton sold, average margin per ton sold and average cash margin per ton sold is total coal revenue.
The following table presents a reconciliation of average realized coal revenue per ton sold, average margin per ton sold and average cash margin per ton sold to total coal revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a historical basis, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except per ton information).
We define CMT operating costs as operating and other costs related to throughput tons. CMT operating costs exclude any indirect costs, such as freight expense, selling, general and administrative costs, (loss) gain on debt extinguishment, depreciation, depletion and amortization of non-throughput assets, direct administration costs, interest expenses, and other costs not directly attributable to throughput tons. CMT operating cash costs include CMT operating costs, less depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on throughput assets. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to CMT operating costs and CMT operating cash costs is total costs and expenses.
The following table presents a reconciliation of CMT operating costs and CMT operating cash costs to total costs and expenses, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a historical basis, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands).
We define adjusted EBITDA as (i) net income (loss) plus income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization, as adjusted for (ii) certain non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation and unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on commodity derivative instruments. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss).
The following tables present a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a historical basis, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands).
We define net income after adjusting for the impact of unrealized mark-to-market losses on commodity derivative instruments as net (loss) income adjusted for the impact of current period unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses related to commodity derivatives. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to net income after adjusting for the impact of unrealized mark-to-market losses on commodity derivative instruments is net (loss) income.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income after adjusting for the impact of unrealized mark-to-market losses on commodity derivative instruments to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a historical basis, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands).
We define net leverage ratio as the ratio of net debt to the last twelve months' ("LTM") earnings before interest expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization, adjusted for certain non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation, unrealized mark-to-market loss on commodity derivative instruments, amortization of debt issuance costs and capitalized interest.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net leverage ratio (in thousands).
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations and non-core asset sales after taking into consideration capital expenditures due to the fact that these expenditures are considered necessary to maintain and expand CONSOL's asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations. It is important to note that free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure. The following table presents a reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a historical basis, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands).

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — An outspoken critic of Cambodia’s government dressed up as “Lady Justice,” complete with scale and blindfold, to bring attention to her case as lawyers in her trial for treason presented their final arguments Tuesday.
Theary Seng, a Cambodian American lawyer, is charged with conspiracy to commit treason and incitement to commit a felony, which together carry a maximum jail sentence of 12 years. The charges arose from a failed attempt by leading opposition figure Sam Rainsy to return to Cambodia in November 2019, after a period of self-exile. Cambodian authorities, who opposed his return, alleged Theary Seng was involved in organizing the trip, which she denies.
Four other defendants being tried on the same charges are former members and activists of the dissolved opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party, of which Sam Rainsy was co-founder. Theary Seng denies belonging to the party.
“I am not afraid of prison. I am ready. I am prepared to go to prison if this dictatorial, autocratic regime continues with its injustice against justice itself. So I am not afraid of prison,” Theary Seng told journalists outside the Phnom Penh Municipal Court.
Cambodia’s Supreme Court in 2017 ordered the Cambodia National Rescue Party to be dissolved for allegedly plotting to seize power, but it is widely believed the action was taken to help ensure that Prime Minister Hun Sen’s Cambodian People’s Party would win the 2018 general election. His ruling party made a clean sweep of the National Assembly seats.
Opponents of Hun Sen, who has been in power for 37 years, criticize him for acting in an autocratic manner and keeping the opposition on a tight leash. He has said he intends to stay in office until 2028 and has endorsed one of his sons to be his successor.
To publicize her case, Theary Seng dressed on Tuesday as Lady Justice, a symbol of law who is traditionally depicted as a Roman goddess bearing a sword and a balancing scale and wearing a blindfold and flowers in her hair. On previous trial days, she had dressed up in a prison-style orange outfit with ankle shackles and as a classical Cambodian Apsara dancer, telling reporters she was expressing her belief that the trial was “political theater.”
She did not attend Tuesday’s court hearing when a security guard refused to let her in unless she removed the flowers from her hair and left the sword and scale outside the courtroom. She stayed outside with supporters and reporters and let her lawyer represent her.
“I am ‘Lady Justice.’ This autocratic regime is putting justice itself on trial. This autocratic regime uses the court as its weapon,” said Theary Seng, who graduated from University of Michigan Law School in the United States. “It is unjust when the law is not based on justice. My weapon is truth. Truth is eternal. … Truth is freedom.”
Her lawyer, Choung Chou Ngy, said the court is expected to deliver its verdict on June 14.
In a related case in March, the court convicted 21 people of treason and related charges for their nonviolent political opposition to Cambodia’s government. Seven exiled leaders of the disbanded Cambodia National Rescue Party received 10-year prison terms in absentia, including Sam Rainsy, who has been in exile since 2016. Another 13 defendants were ordinary party supporters whom the court ordered to serve more than three years. | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Cambodian-dissident-dresses-up-as-Lady-Justice-17143728.php | 2022-05-03T11:43:41Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Cambodian-dissident-dresses-up-as-Lady-Justice-17143728.php | false | 13 |

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 3 (ANI/NewsVoir): "Heropanti 2" is a standalone sequel of Sajid Nadiadwala's "Heropanti", starring Tiger Shroff, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The film's box office took a 40% jump on Sunday. These collections show an increase in viewer interest and the possibility of more viewers over the next few days. With Eid holiday today good footfall is expected and collections are expected to soar further. Industry experts predict that if the picture survives until Eid, it will attract a large audience to the theatres and, given its steady rise, it'll undoubtedly earn a decent sum.
Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment is a long-standing box office success story, particularly during Eid weekend.

Readers asked great questions about the Washington Wizards.
I cannot get to all of them in this space, but the offseason has only just started. Some of your more in-depth questions will lead to standalone articles, I promise. In the meantime, I’ve focused on several questions about roster construction.
Should the Wizards re-sign Bradley Beal? Should they target Mike Conley for their starting point guard job? Does having Kristaps Porziņģis on the roster make Beal expendable?
I answer those questions and more in this edition of The Athletic’s Wizards mailbag.
If you were the Wizards’ general manager, would you re-sign Beal? –David B.
I’d be hesitant to re-sign Beal for a total of $245 million over five years, which appears to be the direction the franchise and Beal are headed this offseason.
That would amount to an average salary of $49 million per season, a significant overpay. According to Spotrac, among contracts already on the books for the 2022-23 season and beyond, only one player leaguewide would have a larger average annual salary: Stephen Curry, at $53.8 million per season. Kevin Durant ranks second, at $48.6 million per season, followed by Giannis Antetokounmpo, at $45.6 million per season.
At his best, Beal is a superb offensive player.
But is he great enough to be the best player on a championship-winning team — that team’s No. 1 option, its dominant force? Is he a player along the lines of LeBron James, Curry, Durant, Giannis or Kawhi Leonard? No. Beal most likely would top out as a championship team’s second-best player.
Let’s frame this another way. A contract with an average salary of $49 million would be one of the league’s five highest average salaries, but Beal is not one of the league’s top five players. In his best season — 2020-21, when he averaged 31.3 points per game — he finished as a third-team All-NBA player and the 14th-highest vote count overall.
Paying Beal $49 million per year would be acceptable if the league didn’t have a salary cap, but as we all know, the salary cap does exist. Devoting such a large percentage of the cap to Beal would constrict the Wizards’ cap flexibility. Meanwhile, with a healthy Beal around, Washington probably would be good enough to draft in the middle of the first round year after year, a place where a team is less likely to pick a future superstar.
For now, though, it appears this debate is moot. Wizards’ president of basketball operations and general manager Tommy Sheppard has made it clear that all the parties involved — Beal, Beal’s agent, Ted Leonsis and Sheppard himself — are “all on the same page” and “want the same things.” Beal has said he’s learning toward re-signing.
I know many Wizards fans would like to see the team begin a total rebuild. The thought is, if it has little chance to win a title with Beal, why not begin the process now of attempting to acquire a player who would be better than Beal for the long term?
Well, if the Wizards strip down their roster and tank ruthlessly, there would be no guarantee they would either win the lottery or draft the right player. Remember: The lottery reforms that went into effect in 2019 flattened out the odds. In the lotteries immediately before 2019, the team with the worst record had a 25.0 percent chance of winning the lottery, and the second-worst team had a 19.9 percent chance. Now, the three worst teams share 14 percent chances of winning.
So these days, there’s a slimmer probability the worst team wins the best pick. A team that tanks could go year after year without ever drafting a franchise cornerstone. Maybe fans could tolerate one or two years of futility. But what about beyond that? I’ve covered full rebuilds up close, and take it from me: I’ve seen the negative impact it has even on the most dedicated fans.
Attempting to win with Beal at least gives Wizards fans a reason to watch the games.
It is clear Beal is in decline. You can see it in his play and in his statistical breakdown. (He’s) a notorious non-defender as well. His best years are behind him. How could paying Beal the same as Nikola Jokić ever make sense? He won’t even be an All-Star again. Doesn’t it appear the Wizards will be trying to dump his contract in a year or two? –Ben W.
I agree with the broader point you’re making here, Ben: Re-signing Beal to a five-year, $245 million contract is fraught with downsides and potential problems from a cap perspective.
But the argument for not re-signing Beal starts to erode when it relies on hyperbole. If someone who hasn’t seen Beal play read your question, that person could reasonably conclude that Beal is, at best, a ham-and-egger.
He’s far better than that. He’s a three-time All-Star who will turn only 29 this June. That’s far from washed-up.
It’s true that Beal did not play close to his lofty standards this past season. Heck, I’ve written that “his game showed signs of decline.” But at what point should everyone, me included, cut Beal a little slack for playing for a brand-new coach and with an inordinately high number of brand-new teammates? Beal averaged 30.5 points per game in 2019-20 and 31.3 points per game in 2020-21. Those are 30-plus points per game in two of the past three seasons. So I’m not ready to conclude that this past season foreshadows what’s to come. In fact, these are the years when he should be in his prime. It’s reasonable to predict he’ll have a bounce-back season in 2022-23.
The Jazz will probably be sellers this offseason after falling short in the first round to the Mavericks. Conley didn’t have a great postseason compared to his past postseasons, and he looks like a buy-low option. He fits a lot of the Wizards’ needs from veteran leadership, 3-point shooting, playmaking and defense.
Should the Wizards target him as their point guard for next season? Are there any other Jazz players the Wizards should realistically try to target, like Royce O’Neale or Danuel House Jr.? Conley’s shooting with the Jazz in previous postseasons and regular seasons has been outstanding, and his contract costs the same as Malcolm Brogdon’s but expires a year earlier, at the end of 2024, so the Wizards wouldn’t be tied to him long term. –Max P.
Conley would be a palatable stopgap solution to the Wizards’ point guard problem. I agree he would provide veteran leadership and 3-point shooting. He’s universally regarded as a great teammate. I also think he would play hard on defense.
But there would be drawbacks. He has dealt with injuries in recent years, though he appeared in 72 games this past season, and will turn 35 in mid-October. I’d be reluctant to depend heavily on someone that age at that premium position. He’s also 6-foot-1, and as the Wizards learned with Raul Neto and Ish Smith, having short point guards can make switching on defense less effective.
I like O’Neale. He’s a solid role player at the wing spot who provides good defense and good 3-point shooting.
Why such an emphasis on foreign players? Isn’t it still possible to find American players who have upside and can play? –Michael W.
It certainly feels as if the Wizards emphasize players from outside North America. I think that perception stems from the team using its 2019 first-round pick to select Rui Hachimura and its 2020 first-round pick on Deni Avdija.
The Wizards finished the 2021-22 season with five international players on their roster: Avdija, Hachimura, Neto, Porziņģis and Tomáš Satoranský.
The Toronto Raptors started the season with 10 international players, according to the league. The Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder followed with seven international players apiece. The Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets and New Orleans Pelicans opened with five apiece.
So it’s correct to say the Wizards rely on players from outside North America more than most teams, but they’re not a significant outlier.
I suspect the team drafted Hachimura and Avdija because team officials felt they were the best available players at that stage in their respective drafts, not because of where they grew up.
The stereotype of foreign players, and in particular European bigs, is that they rely more on finesse than power. Certainly Porziņģis is a finesse player. But Hachimura and Avdija play with physicality.
Given that Porziņģis is a franchise-level player (when he plays), is there any chance the Wiz will build around him instead of massively overpaying for Beal? I realize Porziņģis’ health is a big question mark, but his impact on winning is much more significant than is Beal’s, according to the numbers. If the Wizards could sign Beal to a reasonable contract or trade him and make Porziņģis the cornerstone, they’d still be taking a risk, but it has a much, much higher upside than half a decade of mediocrity with Beal on a supermax. Beal can’t take them to the Promised Land; Porziņģis at least has that potential. What sayest thou? –Keith W.
The Wizards have made clear what they intend to do: re-sign Beal.
Porziņģis is supremely talented and unique for a 7-foot-3 player.
I don’t regard Porziņģis as a franchise cornerstone, though. Earlier in this piece, I wrote that Beal is not a great enough player to be the top player on a championship team. I would say the same thing about Porziņģis, but I would like to see what he can accomplish with two or three consecutive seasons free of injuries.
With Beal and Porziņģis, I see a team that, in the best possible scenario, would have a No. 2 option on a title team (Beal) and a No. 3 option on a title team (Porziņģis).
But let’s assume for a minute that your assessment of Porziņģis’ potential as a franchise cornerstone if he has excellent health is correct. Then Porziņģis would be the top option. And assuming the team re-signs Beal, he would give them a solid second option, in my view. Lo and behold, the Wizards would have the makings of a contending team.
Granted, given that specific pecking order, the salaries of the top two players would be flip-flopped, with Beal earning more than Porziņģis. But if Porziņģis winds up as good as you say he can be — and perhaps he will — then Washington would be in great shape.
Which (if any) of Hachimura, Kyle Kuzma and Avdija should the Wizards look to move? This is assuming they do not get a franchise-altering pick in this year’s draft. –Reid N.
Washington does have a lot of combo forwards, guys who can play the three and the four: Kuzma, Hachimura, Avdija and, with more experience and development, Isaiah Todd.
That surplus of combo forwards leads me to think the Wizards could create a trade package that consists of Hachimura or Avdija, a draft pick or picks and perhaps Todd for a starting point guard. With Tyrese Haliburton in the fold, maybe the Indiana Pacers would be willing to part with Brogdon.
So which player should Washington be more willing to part with, Hachimura or Avdija? That’s a tough one. Hachimura is the better scorer and shooter, especially after he shot 55-for-123 (45 percent) from 3-point range this past season. Avdija is a more engaged defender and a better, more willing passer.
My primary tiebreaker is age. Only 21 years old, Avdija is nearly three full years younger than Hachimura. Over the next three years, I’d wager Avdija will improve his shooting, retain his passing ability and become savvier as a defender — making him a better all-around player in 2025, when he’ll be 24 years old, than Hachimura is now at 24.
So I’d say Washington should be more willing to trade Hachimura than Avdija.

Marjo Niskanen is a kitchen professional who high school students invite to their lawyers, meet after graduation and praise from earth to heaven.
“In him is something magical. ”
“During her work day, she laughs, listens, encourages, guides and comforts.”
“He’s an adult that is told to subsequent students, students talk about him to his friends and family.”
“She’s the queen of the canteen.”
Among other things with these words, the food service manager at Kallio High School Marjo Niska was filmed at the “Oscar Gala” in the professional kitchen and restaurant industry in April. At the gala, he won two industry Pro Awards.
Who is this queen of the canteen, which students also call “Super-Marjo,” “Magic Marjo,” and “Marjo the Queen”?
During her work day, “Super-Marjo” comforts and laughs. He inquires about students ’affiliations. Many he remembers by name, where these are sometimes surprised.
The recipe works. Sometimes Niskanen receives so many invitations to graduating students’ parties that he will only look at lawyers together as a compromise. He has amassed a painting full of student pictures. She has ended up with student quizzes and auxiliary songs that usually only sing about teachers.
In twelve years, Niskane has become Kallio’s own legend. A few years ago, it became clear to Niskanen that older students were telling first-year students about the awesome Marjo in the canteen.
“It’s kind of incomprehensible,” says Niskanen.
He can’t fully explain himself why he’s so popular.
“I’m open and talkative myself. Maybe then it’s easy for students to contact me too. ”
One It’s time for Niskan’s secrets. He never tells young people that now is not the time to talk. She has been compared to a missing sister or mother figure.
“For some, I’m the kind of guy who is sometimes talked to and told about really personal things.”
The other is customer service.
“I strive to treat everyone in exactly the same way. All students are just as valuable because they are my clients, though. ”
When he says this, Niskanen emphasizes the word customers.
Good feedback has also come from the fact that Niskanen always presents his wishes and requests kindly.
“That’s why I might make things work here when I don’t tell you to.”
Twelve During her rock years, Niskanen has witnessed a major change in young people’s eating habits.
Kallio High School is known as a high school, where vegetarianism has also traditionally been more popular than elsewhere. Niskanen recalls that when he started in Kallio, there was one vegan. There are now 40-50 of them, and the number is rising every year.
He does not know exactly the number of vegetarians, as vegetarian food is available to everyone, but its sales are higher than meat dishes.
“Fish sticks seem to be the only food that goes more than vegetarian food,” he says.
Milk sales have also fallen radically. When Niskanen started in 2009, one hundred liters of milk could come to school a week. Now ten liters of milk is enough for at least two days.
Niskanen is dealing and exchanging affiliations with many alumni. Some former students living abroad put a message to Niskan when they visit Finland.
Niskanen says that he is proud of the young people who are pursuing their dreams.
“I haven’t raised them, but I’ve been here on their journey. And there is a huge wealth to be here and to see what they become. ”
“
“Such comments were the most wonderful, saying that the school dining situation could never have been imagined as it is here.”
When the employer, Palvelukeskus Helsinki, announced Niskanen’s candidacy for the Pro award competition, one of the students announced that he would become Marjo’s campaign manager. He did an obviously impressive job: The jury received 288 messages from former and current students at Kallio High School.
The jury said it was moved to read the students ’comments on why“ our Marjon ”should be winning the recognition award.
Marjo also got the comments to read to herself.
“Such comments were the most wonderful, saying that the school dining situation could never have been imagined as it is here. Or that there has always been an idea that they are just some type out there in the kitchen. ”
With the students, he has promised to celebrate the victory and plans to keep his promises.
“Yes, somehow I remember them. Without these students, teachers and Kallio High School, you would not have been able to come to me. ”
And what can be expected from Niskanen’s future?
“I’ve been joking for years that I’m here in Kallio until retirement age. And now that I have those two columns in that armpit, I will be able to handle them again for at least the next 12 years. ”

According to a report from the Daily Beast's Jose Pagliery, attorneys for former President Donald Trump frantically attempted to some answers the former president made in a deposition removed from a court filing because they felt his own words would be "prejudicial" to his defense.
In the deposition linked to a lawsuit accusing the former president of ordering security officials to rough up protesters at Trump Tower in 2015, Trump expressed his fears that his foes could hurl fruit at him, and described the projectiles as "very dangerous stuff."
According to the former president, the "dangerous stuff" encompassed "pineapples, tomatoes, bananas."
When pressed about tomatoes being thrown at him, Trump then responded, "It’s worse than tomato, it’s other things also. But tomato, when they start doing that stuff, it’s very dangerous. There was an alert out that day.”
That revelation was reported by the Daily Beast last week and, after it was revealed, Trump's attorneys sent off a flurry of emails to the plaintiff's attorney, Benjamin N. Dictor, demanding that he remove the bizarre back and forth with the former president.
According to Pagliery, Trump attorney Jeffrey Goldman wrote, “That exhibit is unnecessary, prejudicial and needs to be pulled ASAP.”
In a separate email, Goldman's co-counsel Alina Habba admonished Dictor, writing, "ASAP Ben. That is wholly inappropriate and prejudicial.”
Goldman later asserted, "To make your points you did not need the deposition. You have wrongly released trial testimony.”
According to the Beast report, "But it was too late. Half an hour later, The Daily Beast published a story about the testimony, inspiring a comedy segment from Trevor Noah on The Daily Show and commentary on NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers and others," adding, "Later that night, Dictor responded to Trump’s lawyers that he was surprised to meet such fierce resistance, given that they had put him in that position in the first place."

Fiji’s high court has paved the way for U.S. authorities to seize a $325 million superyacht it says belongs to sanctioned Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimov. The court on Tuesday granted a bid to register a U.S. seizure warrant for the Amadea, 21 days after the vessel arrived in Fiji only to be immediately detained amid U.S. efforts to confiscate assets owned by sanctioned Russian individuals. The U.S. Justice Department has said the luxury vessel is owned by Vladimir Putin ally Kerimov, who has been sanctioned since 2018, though lawyers for the superyacht’s registered owners, Millemarin Investment, claim it is actually owned by unsanctioned Russian billionaire Eduard Khudainatov. The court granted the defense lawyers time to appeal the decision, meaning the 350-foot vessel—equipped with its own large helipad and a live lobster tank—will stay put for now.

Interview with Barbara Benedettelli: “There is also female violence: psychological, physical, sexual, economic”
“I am not violent: I am a victim of domestic violence,” he says forcefully Johnny Depp during the trial that sees him opposed to his ex-wife Amber Heard. “Nobody will believe you, because you are a man”, is heard from the voice of the actress, in one of the many audio tests brought to the attention of the court.
The phenomenon of violence within the family is sadly known and very widespread, but we often talk about it looking at the woman as the intended victim, also because the impressive statistics on abuse and femicide they provide us with more than valid reasons. However, there is also violence perpetrated by women and this is also why the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial it is capturing the attention of the American media. In addition to the sad spectacle of two stars blaming each other for the worst that can happen in a couple, there are many men cheering for the ex Pirate of the Caribbean, claiming to have suffered violence in turn and not to have been believed, precisely because they were men. Obviously the procedural story will take its course and only in that context will it be possible to establish who is telling the truth, but the theme is decidedly interesting. Affaritaliani.it he deepens it with Barbara Benedettellia journalist and essayist who has been dealing with violence by women for some time and who helps us to understand the phenomenon.
How is female violence carried out?
“Female violence, like male violence, can be psychological, physical, sexual, economic. As far as the modalities are concerned, there are similarities and differences between the two that I cannot simplify in a few words. However, I can report theFact-finding survey on male violence of the University of Siena, the results of which I was able to ascertain through a long research on the crime story made on the occasion of my book 50 Shades of Violence, Femicide and Maschicide in Italy (Cairo Publisher). Then there is the GESEF survey (parents separated from children) made on a sample of 26,800 separated fathers who have suffered various forms of violence “.
How is it received by the media and society?
“Unfortunately in Italy, although in recent times there has been greater attention to the phenomenon, we are still a long way from perceiving a man as the victim of a woman. Female violence towards the partner is still a taboo due to gender stereotypes, reinforced by a political and media story that follows the woman / victim (therefore fragile, weak, submissive, incapable) and man / executioner (therefore strong, virile pattern) violent). A story that comes from the ideological side of the third sector and comes in the form of a press release or awareness campaign. Companies, media and institutions believe that the aforementioned contents are credible beyond any reasonable doubt because they come from sources deemed authoritative, and that’s it. It is said that they want to overthrow patriarchy – for the mainstream still alive and well – but they do so by reinforcing the assumption that is at its origin: a strong man, a weak woman. Tackling the phenomenon in a simplistic way, explaining it with stereotyped assumptions distant from reality, not taking into account the overall dynamics of what, as a relationship, is mobile, will not stop this type of violence. From the political and the ideological one must descend into the world of real life, through an acute vision of even the smallest reality. I believe that we must begin to observe and deal with this phenomenon in its macro dimension and stop simplifying, ghettoizing the forms of violence, dividing the victims into Serie A and Serie B. There are dozens and dozens of international surveys on violence against men from part of their partners, it would be useful and important for fellow journalists and politicians to take the time to read them “.
In the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard case: both spouses claim to be victims of domestic violence. In the case of a man, can he be defined as a victim of violence if it emerges that he has been exploited against him?

Too many obstacles block students who left college from returning to get degrees they were close to earning, according to a new report on an initiative to get those students over the finish line.
A report published Monday about a three-year national initiative to boost completion for students who stopped attending college before they earned degrees calls on higher ed institutions and federal, state and local governments to do more to lure students back to college and push them over the finish line.
The Degrees When Due (DWD) initiative, led by the Institute for Higher Education Policy, or IHEP, worked with more than 200 participating colleges in 23 states between 2018 and 2021 to find ways to assist students who interrupted their education and get them back on track to earning degrees or training certificates. Much of the plan was centered on underserved groups—students of color and those from low-income backgrounds, first-generation students and older students—and the institutions that serve them.
“We call on every institution, system, and state, as well as policymakers at the federal level [to] help ensure that all students achieve their higher education goals,” the report says.
According to the authors of the 52-page report, there are 36 million students in the United States who have some college education but did not complete college—a category known as some college, no degree (SCND)—and more than three million of them are “near completers” who completed at least two years of coursework.
The DWD program assisted institutions in removing barriers that keep students from returning to or finishing college. Those efforts involved the institutions auditing students’ transcripts to determine who already had enough credits to complete coursework and earn a degree or was close enough to completing their studies to justify returning to college to do so. The report also uncovered several reasons why students stopped out—including financial difficulties, inability to attend college while working and supporting families, and feeling that the institutions were not invested in or supportive of them and their circumstances.
The initiative illuminated how much those challenges affected students’ decisions on whether to return to college, said Barbara Henry, assistant vice president for nontraditional and military student services at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
“Students with some college, no degree need to be connected,” Henry said in the report. “They need to be connected to the institution. They need to be connected to a very clear pathway to degree completion. And then they need someone there every step of the way helping them. So that’s an intense investment in human capital. But I believe that it is the way we are going to make a tremendous difference for this population of students.”
Those students are disproportionately from underserved populations, said Mamie Voight, president and CEO of IHEP, who noted that “about half” of the students whose needs were addressed through the initiative were people of color, and 46 percent were from low-income backgrounds.
“The work was really grounded in equity,” Voight said.
The focus on those underserved populations differentiated the initiative from a wave of similar studies of returning college students published in the last six months, said Mike Krause, a longtime advocate for returning students and adult learners and former executive director of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission.
“First and most important, serving adult learners is in itself an important aspect to closing the inequity gap,” Krause said, adding that focusing on and serving only students who have followed traditional educational paths will not fix the problem.
The report was “transformational in the sense that the adult learner conversation and the equity conversation should be linked,” he said. It “was perfect, and really called out some important things that needed to be heard.”
Piper Hendricks, IHEP’s vice president of communications and external affairs, said it was important for the report to underline that postsecondary outcomes are inequitable.
“The fact that we’re still seeing these inequitable outcomes in 2022 is unacceptable,” she said. “The inequities deepened during the pandemic. It feels both like a time to recognize the inequities and that we have the tools to correct them.”
The initiative was not originally planned to last three years, but the approach changed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. DWD began in 2018 with 44 institutions in eight states, but it shifted direction and expanded its scope a year later as it came across the funding, technology and staff shortage challenges the institutions were experiencing. Initiative leaders developed an online degree-mining tool, a set of strategies to make it easier for colleges to overcome the outdated technology and equipment and staff shortages that impeded the program’s efforts to put its plans for students in place.
The number of minority-serving institutions participating in the initiative rose from 11 to 45 between the first and second years as program leaders pushed their private and public partner organizations to spread the word about the large numbers of students from disadvantaged groups that the program could help. The institutions that struggle to retain students and to entice those who left to return are often badly underresourced, and they disproportionately serve marginalized students, said Hendricks.
“So often, we’re asking the institutions who are the least resourced to do the most work,” she said.
The economic damage from the pandemic and the social and economic inequities revealed in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd prompted another change of direction in 2020. More institutions joined the initiative, trying to help students who could no longer afford to attend college, who lost jobs and did not have access to the technology needed for remote learning.
Hendricks said one outcome of the initiative was understanding how the traditional narrative about the path of a college education—enter straight out of high school, attend for four uninterrupted years, exit with a diploma—needed to be erased and rewritten.
“It’s so true—the larger narrative impacts how educators are thinking, but it also impacts how students are thinking,” she said.
The report recommends that institutions and governments remove obstacles—such as outdated graduation requirements, financial holds on degrees, bureaucratic policies and requirements, and problematic technology—that keep students from completing college. It also recommends institutions conduct more degree audits, take it upon themselves to manage the credit transfer process instead of making students do it alone and improve funding in several areas that would clear a path for students to return and finish.
“Whether through action or inaction, failure to support today’s students limits their social and economic mobility and disadvantages us all,” the report concluded.
Voight said she has seen encouraging federal and state financial legislation proposed in recent months that would give institutions the money they need to continue the work described in the report.
“But those larger sums haven’t come to fruition yet, so we’ve continued to advocate for the level of support we know is necessary,” she said.

Biden restores celebration of Eid al-Fitr at White House
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden celebrated Eid al-Fitr on Monday, restoring celebrations of the Muslim holiday marking the end of Ramadan at the White House after his predecessor scrapped them.
Muslims around the world typically abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan. Its end often means gathering for prayers, visiting family and friends and holding festive meals.
Addressing hundreds of attendees in the East Room, Biden said he’d promised as a presidential candidate to bring back marking Eid al-Fitr at the White House — but was forced to hold a virtual celebration last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Today, around the world, we’ve seen so many Muslims that have been targeted by violence. No one, no one should discriminate against or be oppressed, or be repressed, for their religious beliefs,” Biden said. “We have to acknowledge that an awful lot of work remains to be done, abroad and here at home. Muslims make our nation stronger every single day, even as they still face real challenges and threats in our society, including targeted violence and Islamophobia.”
Presidents have held Eid al-Fitr celebrations since the Clinton administration, until Donald Trump, who didn’t hold formal events. He instead released statements marking the holiday, including one in 2020 when Trump said of Muslims “we hope they find both comfort and strength in the healing powers of prayer and devotion.”
Biden said Monday that he’d recently nominated the first Muslim woman to the federal bench as part of a commitment to build an administration that values diversity and “looks like America.” He also jokingly compared fasting for Ramadan to his Catholic faith, which he said mandates that he make major sacrifices for Lent including having to “go 40 days” with “no sweets and no ice cream.”
Talib Shareef, Imam of Masjid Muhammad in Washington, known to some as “The Nation’s Mosque,” said of the White House gathering, “Being hosted here is an important statement for our nation and for the world.”
“A statement that Islam is a welcome part of our nation together with all the other faith traditions,” Shareef said. “And that the highest office in this land is committed to our nation’s foundational values and laws protecting religious freedom.”
Also addressing the event was first lady Jill Biden, who drew applause by saying that the holiday embodies above all “a joy born from love. Love for our families and for our communities, and for THIS community.”

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia — Slovakia's energy minister says the country is not ready to join a European Union embargo on imports of Russian oil as part of a new package of sanctions to be imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
Slovakia is almost fully dependent of Russian oil it receives through the Soviet-era Druzhba pipeline. Economy Minister Rchard Sulik told reporters Tuesday that the sole Slovak refiner, Slovnaft, cannot immediately switch from Russian crude to any different oil. To change the technology would take several years, he said.
“We will insist on the exemption, for sure,” Sulik said.
European Union leaders are debating Tuesday new proposals for sanctions, which could include a phased-in embargo on oil. The 27 member countries are likely to start debating the plans on Wednesday, but it could be several days before the measures enter force.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
STRASBOURG, France — Italian Premier Mario Draghi is calling for Europe to move more rapidly toward greater defense integration following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Draghi told EU lawmakers in Strasbourg on Tuesday that European defense spending “is a deeply inefficient distribution of resources, that blocks the construction of a true European defense.” He called for a conference to improve coordinated of defense spending.
Draghi praised the European Council’s ambitious plan of action to strengthen the EU’s security and defense policy by 2030, but said “it is necessary to go quickly beyond these first steps and construct an efficient coordination among defense systems.”

GENEVA — The World Health Organization’s incident manager for Ukraine says evacuees from the besieged Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol “are on the way” toward government-controlled areas away from the most intense combat zones where Ukrainian and Russian forces are fighting.
Dr. Dorit Nitzan, speaking by video to reporters in Geneva from government-controlled Zaporizhzhia, said WHO teams have been among workers from the U.N. and other aid groups who have deployed to help dozens of evacuees — up to 100 — from the plant.
“Things are moving,” she said Tuesday. “We know that they are on the way.”
Nitzan said the U.N. health agency was not clear what kind of health needs that the evacuees would present but that hospitals nearby and trauma teams were on standby to help the arriving evacuees.
The United Nations humanitarian aid coordinator and the International Committee of the Red Cross were leading the evacuation, after securing agreement from Ukrainian and Russian authorities in recent days.
Nitzan said about 100 people have been trickling out in their own vehicles from Mariupol in recent days.

LVIV, Ukraine — The British military says it believes the Russian military is now “significantly weaker” after suffering losses in its war on Ukraine.
The British Defense Ministry made the comment Tuesday in its daily statement on Twitter regarding the war.
It said: “Russia’s military is now significantly weaker, both materially and conceptually, as a result of its invasion of Ukraine. Recovery from this will be exacerbated by sanctions. This will have a lasting impact on Russia’s ability to deploy conventional military force.”
The ministry added while Russia’s defense budget has doubled from 2005 to 2018, the modernization program it undertook “has not enabled Russia to dominate Ukraine.”
“Failures both in strategic planning and operational execution have left it unable to translate numerical strength into decisive advantage,” the ministry said.

LVIV, Ukraine — Satellite photos analyzed by The Associated Press show nearly 50 Russian military helicopters at a base close to the Ukrainian border.
The image captured Monday by Planet Labs PBC shows the helicopters in Stary Oskol, Russia, some 175 kilometers (110 miles) northeast of the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.
The helicopters are stationed on the tarmac, runway and grass of the otherwise civilian airport. Military equipment is stationed nearby to support the aircraft.
Russia has been using its military attack helicopters in its war on Ukraine, flying low to the ground to try to avoid anti-aircraft missiles.
Meanwhile, another satellite image showed a bridge repeatedly targeted by Moscow near the Black Sea port city of Odesa still standing as of around noon Monday. That strategic bridge connects Odesa to the wider countryside and would be key to defending the area.
A breakaway region of neighboring Moldova home to Russian troops nearby has seen a series of mysterious explosions in recent days, raising concerns about the conflict widening.

ROME — Pope Francis has told an Italian newspaper that he offered to travel to Moscow to meet the Russian president about three weeks into the invasion, but that he has not received a response.
Francis was quoted Tuesday by Corriere della Sera as saying his offer to visit Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow was made through the Vatican’s No. 2, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, 20 days into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
He said, “Of course, it would be necessary for the leader of the Kremlin to make available some window of opportunity. But we still have not had a response and we are still pushing, even if I fear that Putin cannot and does not want to have this meeting at this moment.”
Francis said he spoke with the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, for 40 minutes by videoconference and for the first half “with paper in hand, he read all of the justifications for the war. I listened and told him: I don’t understand any of this. Brother, we are not clerics of the state, we cannot use language of politics, but that of Jesus. … For this we need to find the paths of peace, to stop the firing of arms.”

KYIV, Ukraine — Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod says his visit to Ukraine's capital showed “the full support from the Danish side” on transfer of weapons, sanctions on Russia, but also humanitarian assistance.
Kofod reopened the Danish embassy in Kyiv and met with his counterpart Dymtro Kuleba and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday. His meetings come as Denmark's neighbors, Sweden and Finland, are debating joining NATO. Denmark is a founding member.
Moscow has warned that such a move would have consequences, without giving specifics. Yet on Friday, a Russian military plane violated Swedish and Danish airspace.
“I have to say to Russia that it’s a sovereign right of each country to arrange themselves when it comes to security. Denmark is not threatening anybody. Sweden, Finland is not threatening anybody,” Kofod told The Associated Press. “It’s totally unjustified if Russia or anybody else is trying to, in a way, violate our airspace (…) or doing some kind of other hybrid attacks on us, this is totally unjustified. And we will, of course, protect ourselves against that.”
Earlier in the day, Kofod visited Irpin in the suburbs of Kyiv to witness firsthand the destruction and devastation.

OTTAWA — Ukraine’s ambassador-designate to Canada says Russia must be held accountable for its troops committing sex crimes, including against children.
Yulia Kovaliv told a Canadian House of Commons committee Monday that Russia is using sexual violence as a weapon of war and said rape and sexual assault must be investigated as war crimes.
She said Russia also has kidnapped Ukrainian children and taken them to Russian-occupied territories and now Russia itself. Ukraine is working with partners to find the children and bring them back.
“Russians, a few days ago, killed a young mother and taped her living child to her body and attached a mine between them,″ the ambassador said. She said the mine detonated.
All of Russian society, and not just President Vladimir Putin “and his proxies,” should bear responsibility for the war on Ukraine because more than 70% of Russians support the invasion, Kovaliv said.
