Ghana’s Jordan Ayew 'proved people wrong' with left foot for Crystal Palace against Arsenal
Ghana international Jordan Ayew has revealed his happiness after scoring via his left foot as Crystal Palace registered a 3-0 Premier League win against Arsenal on Monday night.
The 30-year-old scored the Eagles' second goal after Jean-Philippe Mateta had grabbed the opener. Ayew was picked out by Joachim Andersen and his first touch took him around the defender and through on goal before he curled his effort past Aaron Ramsdale.

Ivory Coast international Wilfried Zaha then made it 3-0 from the penalty spot after Martin Odegaard’s clumsy challenge.
“It’s a lovely pass [from Joachim Andersen],” Ayew told Palace TV as quoted by the Palace website.
“Obviously it’s on my left foot – people give me stick about my left foot, but today I think I showed them that I have a good left foot.
“I just slotted it in. I’m very happy, and I hope it’s not the last goal I score. I hope there is more to come in the next few games.
“I’m pleased. As soon as I came back from Afcon, I didn’t really have game time, and today [Monday] I had my opportunity so I’m happy to have taken it and happy to score as well.
“It has not been easy but we keep on pushing and working, and we’re happy it paid off.”
Ayew, who was later withdrawn for Odsonne Edouard in the 76th minute, was left impressed by the support from the fans in south London.
“It’s amazing,” Ayew continued. “I told the guys: I’ve never played against Arsenal and won 3-0 before. It’s amazing. This season has been really, really good. We’ve enjoyed it and hopefully, we will build on it for next year.
“As players, we always want to do positive things. We have positive things coming ahead, like the semi-final of the FA Cup. Everyone wants to participate, and we’ll do our best to help the club achieve its goals.
“[The standing ovation] was nice. I was surprised, but obviously, they have always been good to me, the fans, and I need to thank them as well.
“Things have not been easy. We keep on going, keep on fighting, and keep on working hard. Days like today we want often. In life, you don’t decide - but we do our best.”
The incredible strike saw Ayew extend his goalscoring record against Arsenal. He has now scored four times against the Gunners, his joint-best tally against any team in the top-flight.

After parts of India witnessed Chinese rocket fragments re-entering skies like meteors breaking apart, a comet is set to light up the skies in the coming month. C/2021 O3 (PanSTARRS) is approaching the inner planets of the solar system and is expected to cross the skies over Earth by May this year.
Discovered in July 2021, the comet is currently flying behind the Sun when seen from Earth and is coming from the Oort Cloud, the most distant region of our solar system. The Oort Cloud is believed to be a giant spherical shell surrounding the rest of the solar system. It is like a big, thick-walled bubble made of icy pieces of space debris the size of mountains and sometimes larger.
Cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock, and dust that orbit the Sun, comets are frozen leftovers from the formation of the solar system. According to Nasa, they range from a few miles to tens of miles wide, but as they orbit closer to the Sun, they heat up and spew gases and dust into a glowing head that can be larger than a planet. This material forms a tail that stretches millions of miles.
Astronomers, while predicting the movement of the comet C/2021 O3, speculate that it might vapourise as it comes close to the Sun. If it survives, that's when it gets exciting.
The comet is expected to hit the Sun on April 21, coming as close as 0.29 astronomical units (AU) from our star (1 AU = 1 average Earth-sun unit of distance).
According to EarthSky, the comet will be at its closest to Earth on May 8, sweeping about 0.60 AU from us or 82 million kilometers from the planet.
The comet was first spotted by astronomers using the Panoramic Survey Telescope And Rapid Response System, or 'Pan-STARRS' telescope. At the time of its discovery, the comet was 48 million kilometers from the Sun, putting it beyond the orbit of Jupiter. It was shining roughly 4,00,000 times dimmer than the faintest star visible to the eye.
Astronomers said that it is the first time that this comet is visiting the solar system and has traveled millions of years to visit the inner planets. However, if it survives the Sun's gravity, it's never coming back and will remain floating in the Milky Way galaxy.
As it passes close to our planet, while it will not be visible to the naked eye, it can be seen using binoculars. Since comets are very deceiving in their appearance thanks to their unpredictable nature of brightness, C/2021 O3's brightness could increase or decrease based on its interaction with the Sun later this month.
The latest flyby of this comet comes months after Comet Leonard, the brightest comet that passed by Earth in 2021, disintegrated as it moved close to the Sun. The object hit the Sun in January this year after crossing Earth.

SAM BRIGER, HOST:
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Sam Briger, in for Terry Gross. Fans of "Star Trek" and Patrick Stewart were delighted to see the actor return to his most famous role, Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the series "Star Trek: Picard." Season two has just begun streaming on Paramount+. Stewart made his first appearance as Picard in 1987 and has since starred in seven seasons of "The Next Generation" and several "Star Trek" films.
It's hard to imagine now, but Patrick Stewart was a bit of a longshot to play the lead in a sci-fi TV show. At the time, he was best known as a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. He faced a lot of skepticism about whether he was right for the role, including from "Star Trek's" creator, Gene Roddenberry. But Stewart went on to embody one of "Star Trek's" most beloved characters. Stewart has continued to work on many other projects, including multiple Shakespeare productions, his one-man version of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and several X-Men movies as Charles Xavier. During the pandemic, Patrick Stewart provided a little relief on Instagram by reading sonnets to his followers. We're going to listen back to my 2020 interview with him. But first, let's hear a clip from the first season of "Star Trek: Picard." Years earlier, Picard had resigned from his commission at Starfleet and retreated to his family vineyard in France to live out the rest of his years, embittered that the United Federation of Planets had lost its way. But a confused young woman named Dahj appears at his home, asking for help figuring out her identity. It turns out she's an android and perhaps related to Picard's old friend, Data, who sacrificed himself to save Jean-Luc. Dahj is killed by unknown assailants who also injure Picard. Here he is recuperating, angry at himself for failing her and shoring himself up for one more adventure.
(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "STAR TREK: PICARD")
PATRICK STEWART: (As Jean-Luc Picard) She deserved better from me. I owe it to her to find out who killed her and why.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR: (As character) You ask too much of yourself.
STEWART: (As Jean-Luc Picard) Oh, sitting here all these years, nursing my offended dignity, writing books of history people prefer to forget. I never asked anything of myself at all. I haven't been living. I've been waiting to die.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR BROADCAST)
BRIGER: And that's a scene from "Star Trek: Picard" starring my guest today, Patrick Stewart. Patrick Stewart, welcome to FRESH AIR.
STEWART: Thank you, Sam. I'm very happy to be talking to you.
BRIGER: I'm happy to talk to you, too. I heard that you were reluctant to go back and play Jean-Luc Picard again. Why was that?
STEWART: It had been such an extended process filming "Next Generation." We did seven seasons, which I think totaled 174 episodes. And then we made four movies in, I think, about seven years. So it had been an intense time. During that time, I was able in my downtime - my producers and fellow actors thought I was crazy to do other jobs, but it was difficult scheduling them. But I managed to fit in some theater work. And I had a one-man show that I could do. And yet "Star Trek" had taken over my life. I was working almost every day. And I got to a point towards the end of the series when I felt that I had said everything that I wanted to say about Jean-Luc Picard and his life on the Enterprise. I had to say goodbye to Jean-Luc Picard.
BRIGER: Yeah. So what was different about this time? You were approached with many different opportunities to play this character again. What changed your mind this time around?
STEWART: Initially, it was when I read the names of the executive producers who were also going to be writing and directing on the show. And I can tell you I was very, very impressed. So I agreed to take a meeting. But - and this may sound somewhat arrogant, but here goes - I wanted to meet with these brilliant people face-to-face to tell them why I was going to say no to their show.
BRIGER: Oh, so you weren't even thinking of doing it AT that time.
STEWART: No. No. I was just immensely flattered that an Alex Kurtzman and Kirsten Beyer, who is probably the world's leading authority on all things "Star Trek" - I felt that I owed it to them to talk to them about why I was reluctant. And I think I talked for half an hour. And then Alex cuts and said, look, do you mind if we just talk a little bit ourselves and maybe tell you about some of our ideas and thoughts? So I listened then probably for an hour to them talking. And when they finished, I have to admit that a little tingle had started in my spine with regard to some of the ideas and concepts that they were putting forward.
BRIGER: It sounds like one of the things that enticed you in their pitch was that the show might comment on some of the current political issues that you were concerned about. So it wasn't just a big ride into nostalgia.
STEWART: Absolutely not. And they were very, very serious about that, which had not been the case way back in 1987, when I was cast as Picard. Back then, Gene Roddenberry was, of course, still running the show then. And sadly and tragically, he died during our third season. But he had made it perfectly clear to me that although he didn't mind referencing the present day a little, he was not going to get the series caught up in contemporary politics or contemporary society and so forth. And I respected that. When Rick Berman took over, that changed a little. And Rick was more interested, which stimulated me in talking, making connections. Well, it became perfectly clear that Alex and the team on "Picard" felt a responsibility to do that. And that impressed me a lot. You know, I've been an activist all my life, certainly politically. And we were living in a society two years ago when all this began in which there were profound concerns about not only whether U.K. or the USA but where the world was going. And so I was affected by that.
BRIGER: And, you know, to prepare for this interview, I watched the new series. But I also went back and watched some of "Star Trek: The Next Generation." And one of the things that was, I guess, comforting about watching that show is that this vision of the future that's in "Star Trek" is it's a fundamentally optimistic vision.
STEWART: Yes. Yes.
BRIGER: It's a utopian, not dystopian vision. And sure, there are problems in this world, but the things that it points to is diplomacy and working towards peace and racial harmony, both on our world and across the galaxy. And that was - that's been very reassuring for me to watch these days.
STEWART: Yes. Well, I think that we have been fulfilling that in the series "Picard." You know, the whole issues of international problems of of refugees, of organizations, whether it's Starfleet or the Conservative Party in London (laughter), changing what they are, what they were and what their priorities were. So we did reflect that. I mean, even so, it was very modestly done in "Picard." But it gave me a sense that we were behaving responsibly.
I think that "Star Trek: Picard" is still fundamentally optimistic, although it has taken Jean-Luc a whole season to bring himself around to that belief. When we first meet him, he is a rather severely depressed, anxious, guilt-ridden, bored old man. Well, some of those elements vanish during the course of the first season, I'm happy to say, although it was very interesting to have to perform them, to act them and make them real. And I am sure that whenever we get to start shooting season two, which we will shoot, that will continue in the same way.
BRIGER: We're listening to my 2020 interview with Patrick Stewart, who stars in "Star Trek: Picard." More after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF JEFF RUSSO'S "STAR TREK PICARD MAIN TITLE"
BRIGER: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Sam Briger, sitting in for Terry Gross. We're listening to my 2020 interview with Patrick Stewart, who stars in "Star Trek: Picard." Season two has just begun.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR BROADCAST)
BRIGER: I'd like to talk about how you first got the role of Jean-Luc Picard. First of all, did you have any reservations about taking the lead in a science fiction series? I mean, here you are, at the time, this very well-regarded Shakespearean actor, and you're going to be in this sci-fi series wearing, you know, a tight-fitting unitard with lines full of techno babble. Did you have any reluctance?
STEWART: (Laughter) I'll tell you exactly what my reluctance was. First of all, I was - you know, I came back, I think, three or four times to audition for this role. And the last time I came back, I - my agent said to me, well, this is it. It's between you and another actor. And by the way, I have never been able to find out who the other actor was. Maybe he actually didn't exist. Maybe my agent made that up.
BRIGER: Throwing a little competition at you.
STEWART: Yes, exactly, which does no harm. But I was unprepared for what being cast in an American TV series meant because I'd never done that before. I'd done, you know, a mini-series in the U.K. and so forth. But the day after I'd had the offer, my agent and I went to lunch, and he had the deal in front of him, he had the contract. And he began to go through it, and he came to a point where he said, and, of course, as usual, this is a six-year commitment. And I said, what? And he said, well, what did you think it was? And I said, well, I thought it was, you know, a dozen episodes.
It was terrifying to me because what it meant was that I was going to have to shut down my career, which actually - and I don't know whether there is any connection here - but actually had started to take off in a way that I was very pleased with. I'd been playing leading Shakespearean roles for a number of years, and now I was getting leading roles on television, and I was being offered transfers into the West End and transfers to Broadway. And the idea that I would have to shut that down for six years was horrifying.
But that was when my agent was the very first person - and many others followed him - to say to me, look. Don't worry about six years. That's in all these contracts. I've got to tell you, this show will be lucky to make it through the first season. You cannot revive an iconic series like those three seasons of the original "Star Trek." You just can't. So you're not going to be here for six years. Forget about that. So I happily and delightedly signed a contract which committed me to six years. And we ended up doing seven.
BRIGER: Yeah, and many more years after that, too, if you include the movies. Well, this might be a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it. Jean-Luc Picard is French, so why doesn't he have a French accent? I mean, they're - in "Star Trek," you have Russian accents. You have Scottish accents, Irish accents. Why does Jean-Luc Picard have a British accent?
STEWART: Somewhere in the Paramount archives, there ought to be a videotape of me speaking Picard's lines with a French accent. They did actually want me to do that.
BRIGER: So was it rejected?
STEWART: (Laughter) Oh, yes. I mean, I don't know that my French accent - I mean, obviously, if they'd wanted it, I would have worked on it and made it as impeccable a French accent as I could. But I think I know what I did. You know, the famous introduction - space, the final frontier - I did that. You know (imitating French accent) space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
Well, that's how I did it. And it never came up again. Well, what did come up was, you know, the world - our Earth is now assembled under the Federation of Planets and Starfleet. There's no reason why he shouldn't be a Frenchman who is a brilliant French speaker but also speaks English brilliantly with an English accent. So they agreed to that.
BRIGER: I wanted to talk a little bit about your early years. You were born and raised in Yorkshire. And for the first five years of your life, you didn't know your father. He was serving in the war in a parachute regiment, and he was actually also one of the last men rescued at Dunkirk. We'll talk about this. It sounds like he suffered from what was not known then as PTSD, but it certainly it sounds like he had that. But I was wondering, did it scare you when he returned from home? I mean, here was this person that you didn't know who is now living in your house.
STEWART: Yes, it did. I was very intimidated. My mother was a loving, charming, sweet, adorable person, and he was an interesting and exciting and colorful person. And, of course, he'd had this extraordinary career which had left him as a superstar in the noncommissioned officer sense. But, also, there were other aspects to it, which I only discovered the details of, to my profound regret, a few years ago.
And I've talked to an authority on PTSD, told him about my father's behavior and his weekend alcoholism and his mood swings and the violence towards my mother - all of this I've talked about it in the past. And he said, these are classic symptoms. There is no doubt your father was severely affected and needed medical help, which, of course, he never got. And it made me sad - because I've given my father bad press over the years - that I couldn't speak to him now and ask him about these feelings and what it was and what he'd experienced. I will never know.
BRIGER: Your brothers are older than you. In fact, one of them, I think, was also serving during the war. Did they have a different perspective on your father, since they had known him before he had gone to war?
STEWART: Yes, very much so. My oldest brother, who's 17 years older than me and was indeed in the Royal Air Force, he disliked our father intensely. He had experienced him before Dad went to war in 1939, and I think that had been a bad time for him. So there, you know, shell shock or PTSD couldn't be blamed for that. And my eldest brother never, ever lived at home again. He lived with my mother's sister, just across the road. But he and my father had a very, very difficult relationship, if there was enough there to call it a relationship.
My other brother, Trevor, who is five years older than me and - I'm delighted to say - is still very much with us, he and I had very similar experiences. But he was a calmer and quieter and more patient teenager than I proved to be, and so I think he was able to tolerate this difficult situation better than I could. I really had problems with it. It was not a great time. But as luck would have it, I fell under the influence of some wonderful people, most particularly my teachers.
And then when I was 11 years old, a man called Cecil Dormand, who was my English teacher and the first person to put a copy of Shakespeare into my hand and insist that I read it aloud - and, interestingly enough, it was the trial scene from "The Merchant Of Venice," and he had me playing Shylock.
BRIGER: Yeah. And did you connect to that right away? Did you feel an affinity to Shakespeare and to even acting at that point?
STEWART: No, I didn't know what the hell I was saying.
BRIGER: (Laughter).
STEWART: I - you know, I was - I couldn't even properly read the words. I was not at an academic school, not remotely. In those days, they were called secondary modern schools. And yet, even though I couldn't understand the words or really what was going on, there was something about the sound of those words when I spoke them, the feeling of them in my mouth, that even then, I think, intuitively, a rhythmic aspect to it as well touched me. And I was hooked for life.
And here's the greatest thing. I called to wish my English teacher happy 95th birthday just a few weeks ago. We still talk on the phone every few months. He's a dear, dear, precious friend. That he's still in my life is a miracle.
BRIGER: Patrick Stewart recorded in 2020. He's starring in "Star Trek: Picard," which just began season two, on the streaming channel Paramount+. More of our interview after a break. And Justin Chang reviews the new animated film "Turning Red." I'm Sam Briger, and this is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF JEFF RUSSO'S "STAR TREK PICARD END TITLE")
BRIGER: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Sam Briger, in for Terry Gross. Let's get back to my 2020 interview with actor Patrick Stewart. He stars in "Star Trek: Picard." Season two has just begun streaming on Paramount+. When we left off, Stewart was talking about being introduced to Shakespeare by his English teacher.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR BROADCAST)
BRIGER: When did you start feeling a connection to acting itself? I mean, it sounded like it was pretty young.
STEWART: It was about the time that Cec (ph) Dormand put the copy of "Merchant Of Venice" into my hand. He cast me in a play with adults. A lot of the staff of the school I went to, thanks to the enthusiasm of the headmaster, loved amateur acting. And most of the company - not all of them, but most of them - were teachers in my school. And we did a play called "The Happiest Days Of Your Life," which was about two schools merging. It's a brilliant comedy. It was made into a film. And there was a character called Hoppe Croft Miner, who is a 12-year-old public school boy. And they cast me as that. There was also a young girl in it, too.
But first of all, I loved working with adults, especially the adults who were my teachers. And the most important thing that happened to me was that, the first time I walked onto that stage to play my role, I felt safer - and I mean literally, physically, emotionally safer - than I had ever felt in my life. And I think it must have been that that drew me back to acting. And then I joined other amateur groups. At that time, there was no consideration of becoming a professional. I just loved the experience of being someone else, not being Patrick Stewart and exploring what my life might be like if I were someone else.
BRIGER: So you said you were safer and you liked not having to be Patrick Stewart, so was acting an escape from your home, from your family life, then?
STEWART: Yep, all of that and, also, not having to feel that I was a failure. You know, I'd had friends who had taken the 11-plus and gone to grammar school, you know, when - friends I'd had when I was 8, 9, 10. I was cut off from them because I wasn't scholarly. I wasn't academic, but finding that people wanted to have me in their plays and productions and so forth. And we did quite a lot of acting in the school. Where I grew up, you were not thought weird if you were a performer, not remotely. On the other hand, it was actually applauded and loved.
So to sing, to play an instrument, to act a scene, to recite a poem - these things were respected. And my memory of Christmas at home is of, oh, almost every member of my family performing something. So that wasn't strange, being an actor. I grew up in a town called Mirfield, which had a population of 9,000 people. And in that town, there were 11 fully functioning amateur dramatic groups. Now, many of them would only have done one production a year, and that might have been a pantomime, a Christmas show, you know. But that's how comfortable everybody was with being onstage and seeing a friend or a family member onstage.
BRIGER: So was there a moment that you remember where you were acting, and you thought that you perhaps had some skill and that maybe you could do this as a career?
STEWART: (Laughter) No, there wasn't, even though - for a year, I worked on a local newspaper, and that didn't work out for...
BRIGER: (Laughter) Well, yeah, I think we should tell people why. I'll just summarize, but you were 15, and you were working in a local paper, and you were spending too much of your time in amateur productions. And in fact, you were committing the journalistic sin of making up things in your reports.
(LAUGHTER)
STEWART: Yes. Yes, that's true. Sometimes, I would just get someone to cover for me if I had a rehearsal and there was a council meeting or something I had to attend, or I would have a contact there and I would phone him afterwards and he would give me all the stuff. Or the final alternative was that I just made it up.
And I didn't get really found out until one night, when I was supposed to be at a council meeting, a huge fire broke out. Where I lived, it was heavy woolen industry. It was weaving, big mills, weaving mills. And the editor and the subeditor called each other, and they said, we've got to get somebody out there; there's a huge blaze. And the subeditor said, no, no, no, Patrick's next door in the council meeting. He'll be right there.
BRIGER: (Laughter).
STEWART: Found out. And the next morning, I was called into the editor's office and given an ultimatum.
BRIGER: Well, I guess we know which way you went, you know (laughter)?
STEWART: And I chose acting over journalism.
BRIGER: We're listening to my 2020 interview with Patrick Stewart, who stars in "Star Trek: Picard." More after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF OKTANE'S "ART THEORY")
BRIGER: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Sam Briger, sitting in for Terry Gross. We're listening to my 2020 interview with Patrick Stewart, who stars in "Star Trek: Picard." Season two has just begun.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR BROADCAST)
BRIGER: In 1966, you joined the Royal Shakespeare Company. So there was - it sounds like there was, like, a 10-year period where you were paying your dues, probably in amateur and semiprofessional roles, right?
STEWART: Yes. Yes.
BRIGER: And you've said you've - you grew up working class. And, you know, class has so much influence in England. Is it as influential in the theater? Like, were you looked down upon at the Royal Shakespeare Company from coming from the working class?
STEWART: Not at all because the breakthrough had already occurred. Actors like Albert Finney and Tom Courtenay were already leading star actors, and they came from working-class backgrounds. I mean, both of them had slight accents, you know, and both of them were brilliant. What I did feel, to a certain extent, was that it was hard for me to play very sophisticated upper-class or upper-middle-class people because I used to find the accent kind of difficult.
I spoke with a very, very broad accent. In fact, it wasn't just an accent; I spoke in dialect. So when my acting teacher, who I luckily met - Ruth Wynn Owen - when I was 13, when she said to me, Patrick, if you really want to, you know, play everything onstage, you're going to have to lose that accent - not all the time, but you're going to have to be able to lose it. And you must work on what was called RP, received pronunciation, which is how people on the BBC - newsreaders on the BBC spoke like that. That no longer applies. I think, if anything, the BBC now looks for people who have accents.
But I used different words. I mean, I will give you a very quick instance. If I go to a friend's house, if I went to a friend's house to ask him if he was coming out to play, I would say, at a lacan at (ph). At a lacan at. At a - art thou. Lacan - which is at least a 16th-century word for playing - art, out. Are you coming out to play? So it was quite a long journey for me to get away from that. And for a couple of years, my life was split. Weekends when I worked with dear Ruth Wynn Owen, my acting teacher, who had a beautiful accent and a beautiful voice, I would attempt to speak RP. And then Monday to Friday when I was at school, I spoke with a broad Yorkshire accent. And, sometimes, I would get them mixed up and, oh, did that get me in trouble with my friends.
BRIGER: I'd like to play a clip of you as Macbeth in a 2010 BBC adaptation of the play. And in this scene, Macbeth has just found out that his wife has died. And you give this very famous soliloquy known as Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. So I'd just like to hear that.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "MACBETH")
STEWART: (As Macbeth) Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time, and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death, out, out brief candle, life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
BRIGER: That's my guest, Patrick Stewart, playing Macbeth in a 2010 BBC adaptation of the play. So I just wonder if you could tell us a little bit about what choices you made in doing that soliloquy.
STEWART: You know, that has made me a little emotional. I loved that role. I played it for exactly a year, and I did no other work for those 365 days, only "Macbeth." And it did in time - you know, doing a role like that eight times a week and attempting to live the role, everything that happens in it - because it is a horrendous story. It affected me very badly when I was on Broadway. I don't think it showed in my performance. I used to go home and get drunk every night and then sleep in the morning and then get ready.
The best part of the day for me was 6 o'clock when I thought, two hours from now I'm going to be walking on stage playing this great role because it is a fantastic role. But how did I make an interpretation of it? Well, one day before we'd started rehearsing, I was somewhere in London on the street. And who should I encounter but somebody who at the time I didn't know that well, Sir Ian McKellen. And he said to me, hey, is it true what I've heard, that you're going to be playing Macbeth?
Now, Ian had done a production of "Macbeth" with Judi Dench, with Dame Judi Dench, which had been one of the most remarkable Shakespearean performances I had ever seen. And I said, well, yes, it is. And he said, can I just give you one little word of advice? And I said, oh, please, as much as you like. He said that, you know, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow - the most important word is and. And God bless him. I got it instantly. It's not tomorrow and tomorrow but tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. And it was such a typical Ian McKellen interpretation of a line. And, you know, that spread all the way through the performance for me. Bless him.
BRIGER: Well, that's interesting because I guess the and - it sort of emphasizes just the tedium and the repetition. Is that...
STEWART: Yes, yes, all of that. Now, Ian has a wonderful education. Ian is a Cambridge graduate. And actually, he was well-known as an actor before he even left Cambridge. And he does say - because we have become very, very close friends. I love him very dearly. He believes that I have a real hang up about my education. And he said to me, it's time you let it go. It doesn't matter that you didn't go to university. But, you know, I always think - this - because he came from a working-class background like me. But he had the brain to get a scholarship to Cambridge, and I'm so envious of that.
BRIGER: You've said that when you first started acting, your performances were cautious and that you didn't want to expose yourself too much. What did you - what do you mean by that?
STEWART: Oh, yes. And I was told about it by my - the director of my acting school. I went to the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. And towards the end of my two years there, he called me into his office and gave me a pretty tough talking to. But the last thing he said to me was, Patrick, you will never achieve success by insuring against failure.
And I thought I knew what he meant, but I didn't, not for years and years and years. And I learned that you have to take risks. You have to be brave. You have to step into the unknown. You have to jump off the edge of the cliff. All of those things are required of actors. Once I'd finally understood that, I knew what direction I had to go in.
BRIGER: You know, when you were in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," there - obviously, the show plays with time. And there were a few opportunities where you played Jean-Luc Picard as an older man. I was just wondering what it's like to play him now as an older man yourself.
STEWART: (Laughter) Well, learning lines is a bigger challenge than it used to be. I used to learn lines so easily. Now when we're shooting the series, I have the week's work laid out in front of me. And over the weekend, I make sure that I am DLP - dead-letter perfect - of the first two days of work, Monday and Tuesday. And then I'm really familiar with Wednesday and quite familiar with Thursday and Friday so that each day, I will be on top of what I have to do insofar as just learning the lines goes. And I stick with that.
Other than that, one of the nice things about being 79 and playing a man who's a couple of years older is I don't have to act it. I just - I'm 79. I'm 80 in a month's time. So I mean, no one can accuse me of being a fake 80-year-old because it's what I am. And my, you know - I forget that I've said things. And I forget people's names and telephone numbers and all of that. My wife is blessedly patient with me.
BRIGER: Well, one more question like that. I mean, you - in your past, you've had the opportunity to play older men. Like, you've played King Lear and Ebenezer Scrooge, Prospero. Looking back at those performances as - when you were a younger man but portraying an older man, what do you think you got right or didn't get right? Or what are you surprised about now, being a 79-year-old, that you wouldn't have been able to incorporate into your roles back then?
STEWART: Well, it's what - the one thing I've already talked about. I'm braver than I was when I was 35. I am not averse to risk-taking. And I don't judge myself. I used to do that so much. Ah, Patrick, that's not good enough. That's not good enough. You could've done that differently. You could've done it better. That gets in the way of spontaneity and real feeling coming into something. So I'm braver now than I was when I was much younger.
BRIGER: Patrick Stewart, thank you so much for your time. I really enjoyed speaking with you. I've been really enjoying seeing you on television. And I'm looking forward to season two. And it's just been a real delight to speak with you. So thank you so much.
STEWART: Oh, thank you. I've enjoyed it, Sam, very much, indeed.
BRIGER: Patrick Stewart recorded in 2020. "Star Trek: Picard" season two is now streaming on Paramount+. Coming up, Justin Chang reviews the new animated film "Turning Red." This is FRESH AIR.

Why Did The Lions Owner Drop The Name ‘Ford’ From The Lions Website?
Back in 2020, Martha Ford transferred the Detroit Lions principal ownership to her daughter Sheila Ford Hamp. Now Sheila has transferred her name Ford to the deleted file on the Lions website bio page. Why, who knows, and does anyone really care? It appears many people care and are tweeting up a storm about it.
Who was the first owner of the Detroit Lions? That would be George Richards the owner, at the time, of WJR radio. He bought a team called the Portsmouth Spartans in 1934 for $23,000 and moved the team to Detroit. The $23,000 he paid in 1934 is equal to approximately $487,000.00 in today’s dollars.
The Ford family eventually became the sole owner of the Lions on November 22, 1963, when William Clay Ford paid off all the minority owners to the tune of $4.5 million. Do you remember what also happened on that day? That was the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas Texas. When William Clay Ford died his wife of 67 years. Martha assumed total control of the Lions.
The Ford family had become the sole owner in 1963 for over $4.5 million and today they are worth over $2.4 billion dollars. Not a paid return.
With all the history of the Lions and the Ford name why dump the Ford name?
Perhaps all of the history has quite a bit of losses and they no longer want the Ford name associated with such a losing organization. Starting with the 1964 football season the Lions have won 363 games and lost 512.
The Lions had the NFL's worst attendance record last year. Will they turn that around this year, we will see.

Sydney, April 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Just released, this edition of BuddeComm report outlines the latest developments and key trends in the telecoms markets. - https://www.budde.com.au/Research/Zimbabwe-Telecoms-Mobile-and-Broadband-Statistics-and-Analyses/?utm_source=GNW
Telcos have also been under economic pressure, facing stresses on revenue and on their ability to invest in infrastructure and network upgrades. This has encouraged the telcos to increase tariffs, supported by the regulator.
During 2019 and 2020, the regulator imposed three tariff hikes in succession as it strove to alleviate the financial burden suffered by the MNOs which must pay for international bandwidth and network equipment in foreign currency. In April 2019 tariffs for mobile voice calls were increased by 23%, while in the following November they were increased by 95%. A third hike in March 2020 saw the tariffs increased by 55%. These hikes were responses to the deterioration of the economy.
In early 2022, telcos increased tariffs again, by up to 20%, as they sought to adjust to pressure on revenue.
There are numerous taxes on telecom services, which add to the burden on telcos and end-users. A 15% VAT has applied to mobile airtime since 2009, while in 2015 a 5% excise duty on airtime sales was imposed, as well as a 25% tax on handsets and a five cents levy per transaction on mobile money transfers.
In November 2021, telcos called on the government to reduce the high tax burdens placed on them. Taxes at the time included a 5% health levy, the 15% VAT, a 25% corporate tax, a 3% universal service fee, and a 2% tax on m-money transfers (the Intermediated Money Transfer Tax).
Despite these appeals, the government in March 2022 introduced a 10% excise duty on ISPs. There is also the prospect of a new tax on companies involved in e-commerce, digital advertising, content, cloud computing, e-commerce, and a range of online services such as gambling and gaming. Within this catchment are the major online players such as Google, YouTube, and Facebook, as well as streaming providers such as Netflix.
In addition to taxes, there is a $50 levy on imported smartphones. This levy was imposed in November 2021 after the government realised that the existing 25% duty on mobile handset imports was easily evaded.
Key developments:
- Econet launches 5G services, though the country’s liquidity difficulties hamper the purchase of equipment in foreign currency;
- MNOs increase tariffs for voice and data services to address pressure on revenue;
- TelOne adds capacity to its Harare data centre;
- Telcos agree to the government's infrastructure sharing policy;
- Regulator revokes a number of ISP licenses;
- TelOne providing satellite broadband with Eutelsat;
- Government enforces m-money interoperability on MNOs, changes m-money tax rate;
- Report update includes the regulator's market data to Q3 2021, annual report for 2020, telcos' operating and financial data to Q4 2021, updated Telecom Maturity Index charts and analyses, assessment of the global impact of the pandemic on the telecoms sector, recent market developments.
Companies mentioned in this report:
TelOne, Econet, TeleAccess, Afritell, DataOne, Powertel Communications, Telco Internet, Broadlands Networks, Aquiva, Africa Online, ComOne, Ecoweb, iWay Africa (MWEB), TelOne, NetOne, Econet Wireless, Telecel, Telecontract, Dandemutande (uMax), Afritell, Liquid Telecom, DataOne, Powertel Communications, Telco Internet, Broadlands Networks, Aquiva, Zimbabwe Online (ZOL, Liquid Home), Aptics.

College basketball: White Plains' R.J. Davis, UNC fall to Kansas in national championship
These days, R.J. Davis wears a different kind of blue as a member of the Tar Heels, one that's a few shades lighter than the one he wore as Westchester County's all-time leading scorer at Stepinac.
While he now plays many miles away for the University of North Carolina, plenty from the Lower Hudson Valley were tuned in and felt a sense of local pride in hearing "from White Plains, New York" for Davis' introduction in Monday night's national championship game against Kansas at the Superdome in New Orleans.
Davis represented well. He played all 40 minutes, scoring a team-high 15 points, with 12 rebounds, but it wasn't enough, as the No. 8-seeded Tar Heels fell to No. 1 seed Kansas, 72-69.
Fresh off of Saturday night's Final Four win over former teammate A.J. Griffin and archrival Duke, Davis and the Tar Heels rode the momentum into a hot start against the Jayhawks. The Tar Heels used a 16-0 run to build a double-digit lead in the closing minutes of the first half. They punished the Jayhawks on the glass and generated 18 second-chance points en route to a 40-25 lead at the break.
North Carolina's fortune began to change for the worse, as Kansas started to control the game on both ends of the court. A 25-10 Jayhawk run over the first nine minutes after halftime allowed Kansas to tie it up at 50-50 and make it a contest again.
"They got a lot of transition buckets, points in the paint, and that was really about it," Davis said of the game-changing stretch.
Three of North Carolina's top scorers — Davis, Caleb Love and Armando Bacot — were limited to a combined 13 of 54 (24.1%) on the floor. The Tar Heels did, however, get some timely threes from Brady Manek and a spirited performance by Puff Johnson off the bench to help keep North Carolina afloat.
"We were just trying to remain positive, and things weren't going our way," Davis said. "The shots we usually make, we were missing and some of them were short. Everyone just told each other to stay together, there was a lot of time left."
Kansas snatched the lead and maintained it through the final minutes. Although a Manek layup briefly put the Tar Heels back in front, 69-68, with 1:41 remaining, Kansas quickly responded with back-to-back David McCormack baskets and an ill-timed injury to an already hobbled Bacot didn't help the Tar Heels.
The Jayhawks turned the ball over with 4.3 seconds left, giving the Tar Heels a chance to salvage the game. Caleb Love, who sank the dagger against Duke on Saturday night, shot a three, but this time, it was off the mark.
"Coach (Hubert) Davis and Coach (Brad) Frederick drew up a play for either Brady or me to get the ball, and whoever got open," Love said of the final shot. "There was kind of a screen to get me open. I got the ball, and I took the shot, and it came up short."
North Carolina finished the season 29-10 overall. It was the program's first trip to the Final Four and the national championship game since winning the title in 2017.
"I told them after the game, my desperation for them to have these experiences in a Carolina uniform was very important for me," said first-year head coach Hubert Davis. "I was very thankful that I feel like this year, they were able to have it. They were able to have a number of experiences that they can grab on, lean on and smile about.
"I can't remember a time in my life where I should be disappointed, but I'm just filled with so much pride. I'm so proud of these guys of what they have done for themselves, individually, as a team, and the way that they have represented our university, this program and our community."
North Carolina, who dealt with inconsistency midway through the season and hit a low point marked by mid-January lopsided losses to Miami and Wake Forest, picked it up in the postseason.
As the No. 8 seed, it dispatched Marquette, upset defending national champion and No. 1 seed Baylor in overtime — behind a career-high 30-point game by Davis — then followed with wins to spoil Saint Peter's Cinderella run and coach Mike Krzyzewski's final NCAA Tournament before retiring from Duke.
Despite the loss, it's a journey Davis and his teammates won't forget.
"We've banded together this whole year and we made it this far for a reason," Davis said. "This team is special. I'm glad we have shared memories of big games that we'll all talk about and cherish forever. We've been through a lot this year, faced adversity, overcame it. All the hard work that we put into the offseason through the summertime, preseason, brought us to this point that we're at."

French elections: Five reasons why you should care about the vote
Purchasing power is the top issue on many French voters’ minds in an election that includes far-left and far-right candidates.
Paris, France – On Sunday, French people will head to the polls to vote in the first round of presidential elections.
While the Emmanuel Macron presidency has been beset with tumultuous events in the past five years – such as the increasing cost of living and the coronavirus pandemic – voters will have a chance to choose whether to stick with him for another term or change course in favour of more radical leaders.
Here are five issues on the minds of the voters:
France’s global standing
Russia’s war on Ukraine has given Macron an opportunity to flex his muscles as a head of state, using France’s membership of NATO to conduct shuttle diplomacy.
“NATO is becoming important again for the French people, and France is becoming essential again within the alliance,” former French ambassador Michel Duclos told Al Jazeera.
Despite Macron being the only frontrunner who is pro-NATO, the unlikely event of France leaving NATO should another candidate win will only marginalise the country from its allies, most importantly the United States.
And while far-right Eurosceptic candidates Marine Le Pen and Eric Zemmour have made no secret of their staunch criticisms of the European Union, they have stopped short of calling for “Frexit”.
“Europe has been a huge part of Macron’s agenda during his term,” Duclos said. “His track record has been mostly positive, with the vaccination and stimulus package as a result of the coronavirus pandemic all dealt at a European scale.”
This has made it more complicated for candidates to base their campaigns on leaving the EU.
“Marine Le Pen understood this, but nonetheless she’s still hostile to European institutions and will vouch for state sovereignty above all. If elected, it will definitely weaken France’s position in Brussels.”
Purchasing power
According to research conducted by the Ipsos group, 58 percent of those polled said purchasing power is the most important topic to them. Healthcare and the environment followed, at 27 percent and 25 percent respectively.
Frederic Marty, an economist at the National Centre of Scientific Research (CNRS) and lecturer at the University of Cote d’Azur, said France is witnessing its worst inflation in 30 years.
The concept of the decline in purchasing power is not new, he said, adding that it appeared right after the transition to the euro currency.
“This was essentially linked to what we call an anchorage bias, with the consumer’s perception set in the past,” Marty said. “Between 2000 and 2020, we witnessed an inflation of approximately 2 percent per year. Over 20 years, that accounts for 35 percent.”
The ones that are most affected by this are lower-income households, who are finding themselves struggling to make ends meet.
People who live in the suburbs and use a car to commute are finding it difficult as well, due to the rise in energy prices – which the Ukraine war has exacerbated.
The demise of the left
Out of the 12 candidates running for election, seven of them are from the left. A lukewarm attempt made last April for the left to run as a united front behind a single candidate was rejected, resulting in the ever-widening fragmentation of left-wing votes.
Unlike the French right wing, which runs campaigns based on differences of opinions, the left wing has core beliefs they disagree on, said political analyst Thomas Guenole.
“The French left wing should have two major candidates: reformist and radical,” he said.
While far-left Jean-Luc Melenchon – currently polling in third place – can be considered from the radical camp, his party’s anti-capitalist ideology refuses the idea of a united left on principle.
“Melenchon will never be able to go to the second round and to unite the left behind him because he is an extremist,” Guenole said.
The reformist left, represented by the Greens and the Socialist Party, also refuses to merge – even if their views are, according to Guenole, representative of the right and left wing of the same party.
The scattering of the left vote – or the collapse of it – is attributed to the political spectrum’s general shift to the right.
“Half of the far-left voters are now left voters,” he said. “Left voters have shifted to the centre or towards the right.”
“In 1982, 50 percent of the constituents were voting for the left,” he added. “Nowadays, one voter out of four is doing so. The global electoral left has collapsed by more than 50 percent.”
Immigration
The issue of immigration has been a staple of French presidential elections for decades, particularly with the rise of the far-right National Front party in the 1980s.
According to Gilles Ivaldi, a researcher at Cevipof Institute at Sciences Po, the fear of immigration is directly linked with the “economic and cultural concerns” of a multicultural society – mainly understood to be how Muslims fit into European societies.
“All these issues became political concerns,” he said. “Studies show that French people think there are too many immigrants in France, and a major part of them want to limit the number entering the country.”
Macron has “hardened his immigration policy due to the pressure of the public and the rise of the far right”, Ivaldi said.
The overall trend in public opinion, which stretches to the majority of European countries, is what Ivaldi described as an “identitarian closure”.
For politicians, he went on to say, it is a matter of striking a balance between this trend, the necessity of immigration to bolster the workforce of an ageing country, and the obligations to international law regarding refugees and family reunification.
The far right
France, like many of its European counterparts, has seen the rise and mainstreaming of the far right within its political arena.
“The far right’s success is related to socioeconomic status,” Ivaldi said. “As we know, the far right thrives when unemployment rates are high.”
The far-right has packaged concerns about Islam, immigration, and a multicultural society within very restive and anti-immigration rhetoric, he said.
For 40 years, the far-right National Front (FN) party – now called the Rassemblement National – has spread such ideas in French society.
“Many parties, especially on the right-wing, take as their own some of the FN’s favourite themes to limit the rise of the far right,” Ivaldi said.
“So there is a first phenomenon that the far-right ideas on immigration, Islam, multiculturalism and this conspiracy idea of ‘le grand remplacement’ (the great replacement) – all of these ideas are now trivialised, mainstreamed,” he said.
These candidates, Ivaldi said, appear less shocking to the public now that their ideas are already known and shared by many people.

The gates to Augusta National opened a little after 7 am. It didn't feel as though Masters week started until just before 3 pm. (More Sports News)
Tiger Woods was on the first tee on Monday, and this was no time to be shopping for shirts and caps or standing in line for pimento cheese sandwiches. That much was evident by the biggest golf crowd this year on one hole except for the circus par-3 16th at the Phoenix Open.
Woods consumes attention at every Masters he plays. It's been that way since the first of his five green jackets he won 25 years ago.
Now it's even greater under these unusual circumstances.
He hasn't played against the best in 17 months, not since the 2020 Masters in November, while recovering from a car crash that once looked as though it might end his career. And still to be determined is whether he plays this one.
Woods has said it would be a "game-time" decision whether his battered right leg and ankle can handle walking and competing over 18 holes at Augusta National.
"There's always buzz around this place," Billy Horschel said.
"But there's just another level of buzz to see him and see him play. I've thought about it in the past, and I may be on the first tee watching him tee off if my tee works out and everything, just because it's a special moment."
It's not as though this Masters was devoid of drama.
Rory McIlroy gets another crack at the career Grand Slam. He spent Monday in an Irish fourball alongside Shane Lowry, Padraig Harrington and Seamus Power. They have eight majors among them; Power is making his Masters debut.
Bryson DeChambeau is back, even though he says his doctors don't recommend it.
DeChambeau said he first hurt his left hip two years ago while speed training — swinging as fast as his body allowed — and slipping on concrete.
Then, he didn't work on finger strength, and that led to a popping sound in his wrist before his TV match against Brooks Koepka in Las Vegas last November. That led to a hairline fracture of his hamate bone in his left hand. And then he slipped on marble while playing table tennis is Saudi Arabia in early February, went horizontal and landed on his hand and his hip.
He declared himself 80 per cent, though he liked the way he felt coming into the Masters. DeChambeau hasn't make a 36-hole cut since The Northern Trust in late August — then again, he has played only eight times since then, six of those tournaments without a cut.
"The past few weeks have been very, very difficult on me, not playing well and not hitting it anywhere near where I know I should be hitting it," he said.
"Yelling Fore!' off the tee every time is just not fun. It's very difficult on your mental psyche as well."
Playing the Masters was a "huge risk" a few weeks ago and a decision he said his doctors did not recommend. He was day to day until he felt comfortable giving it a go.
"Different situation than Tiger, obviously, but it was definitely a day-by-day process of figuring out if I could do this," he said.
So much goes back to Woods, who had broken bones in his right leg and ankle from the car crash outside Los Angeles in February 2021 that left him immobilized for three months and not swinging a club until last November.
Brooks Koepka knows a thing or two about playing with injury, even if not as many were people were paying attention.
Koepka had surgery on his right knee three weeks before the Masters last year and still was determined to play. It was so bad he couldn't crouch to read putts. Koepka is finally back at full strength, though he still hasn't won since the Phoenix Open more than a year ago.
He is more concerned with his own game that what Woods has going on, though Koepka can appreciate the walk Woods is facing better than most players.
"Look, I'm happy he's becoming healthier and able to play golf," Koepka said.
"We need him, the game needs him, everybody needs him, the fans need him, all that stuff. But at the end of the day everybody is just out here competing. I'm worried about myself and I'm sure everybody else is worried about themselves."
Koepka said he required cortisone shots just to play. Throw in the hours to prepare before the round and to recover after the round, and that has led to some long days.
"I understand what he's up against. It'll be difficult. But if anybody can do it, it's him," Koepka said.
"I don't know everything he's going through. His was a lot worse than mine, so I'm not trying to compare it. I just know it's difficult walking this place when you don't have the same body parts you're used to."

We argue every year about what should win best picture, and what will win best picture — but what about the best best picture? We turned to our listeners with a poll to set all the best picture winners against each other to reach a final, Thunderdome-style result. Recency bias! Nostalgia! Familiarity and unfamiliarity! All kinds of forces collided as our listeners chose their 15 favorite best picture winners (each person got to vote for five), and we're here to count them all down.
15. Amadeus (1984)
Amadeus may be the prototypical sprig of Oscars catnip: a heavily fictionalized historical drama fueled by thundering lead performances from F. Murray Abraham (as Antonio Salieri) and Tom Hulce (as his brilliant-but-doomed tormentor, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart). But damned if it isn't grandly appointed, richly thought-provoking catnip. Nearly 40 years after its release, Amadeus still informs countless conversations about genius, envy and the horrors of being second-best. – Stephen Thompson
14. West Side Story (1961)
Since the announcement of Steven Spielberg's remake a few years ago, I've noticed a lot more pointed critiques and flat out dismissals of the 1961 original film, and its Broadway inspiration. Sure, Natalie Wood is woefully miscast, Rita Moreno wore brownface for her Oscar-winning role as Anita, and the characters as written are as thin as the blades that fell Bernardo and Riff at the rumble ... and yet, its cultural imprint seems unlikely to be erased anytime soon. The show has lived on as long as it has in countless school productions and several revivals largely (mostly?) because of this movie and the hold it maintains on American imaginations, for better and for worse. – Aisha Harris
13. Forrest Gump (1994)
Wait, I thought collectively we'd all agreed this movie is Bad, Actually – saccharine, slight, a frustratingly watered down and apolitical take on history ... No? Hm, well, I guess nostalgia remains a helluva drug; the movie itself is already stuffed with corn-fed heaps of it, and nearly 30 years since its release, it's become a nostalgic artifact of its own. It's still not hard to stumble across it on cable TV, and aside from Woody the cowboy, this simple guy may turn out to be Tom Hanks' most enduring character. – Aisha Harris
12. No Country for Old Men (2007)
Has there ever been a Best Picture winner more brutal and nihilistic than No Country for Old Men? I suppose a case could be made for The Silence of the Lambs, but with this film, the Coen Brothers took themes they'd explored in movies like Fargo and Blood Simple – the implacable nature of violence, human helplessness in the face of fate – and distilled them into the unforgettable figure of Javier Bardem's laconic, relentless hitman Anton Chigurh. – Glen Weldon
11. All About Eve (1950)
If you haven't seen this film in a while, you might have forgotten how bracingly fresh and fierce it remains, how every line of dialogue uttered by George Sanders as theater critic Addison DeWitt drips pure green poison. Broadway star Margo Channing is the role of Bette Davis' life, and Anne Baxter serves you wide-eyed innocence and scheming vindictiveness, in turn – and sometimes, miraculously, both at once. – Glen Weldon
10. The Godfather Part II (1974)
Duh, right? The ascendance of Al Pacino's Michael Corleone as the heir to his father's throne is the stuff that masterful epics are made of. Meld that with a hop back in time, via the striking performance of Robert De Niro as the young Don Vito Corleone, and you've got one of the greatest movies ever made, period. The generational contrasts, the historical context, the astounding tragedy of it all ("I know it was you, Fredo"). Really, what more can be said that hasn't already been said? – Aisha Harris
9. Titanic (1997)
Titanic might have fared better in the popular imagination if it had not won best picture. Its huge popularity, its catch-phrase-able script, and best picture? It's the kind of omnipresence that can transform a film from beloved to "ugh" in a hurry. But Titanic is still a swoonily romantic, technically intricate spectacle with two star-making performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet — plus, it created the "was there room for Jack on that door?" debate that lives on to this day. – Linda Holmes
8. The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2003)
Look: The logistics alone should send this film to #1. Think about it: From a brass tacks, film production perspective alone, this movie – the capstone to Peter Jackson's trilogy adapting J.R.R. Tolkien's sweeping saga of high fantasy and hairy feet – is a towering achievement. Think of the sheer work required to channel the technical and artistic skills of so many thousands of people into a single endeavor. Think of the huge amount of international, interdisciplinary communication, coordination and integration involved. Think of how just the line-item in the budget for elf-ears alone would choke a Mumakil. – Glen Weldon
7. The Sound of Music (1965)
The songs! The children! The escape from war! The Baroness, who really cannot be blamed for wishing she had brought her harmonica! The Sound of Music is the movie musical that defines the genre for a lot of people (some of whom love it and some of whom ... do not). And for all its schmaltzy sweetness, it packs a surprisingly sexy punch in the burgeoning relationship between Maria and Captain von Trapp. It even has hero nuns! It's no surprise to find it's one of our listeners' ... favorite things. (I'm sorry.) –Linda Holmes
6. The Godfather (1972)
Not every movie that's so deeply embedded in pop culture has been able to withstand the test of time. (Ahem, Gone With the Wind.) But The Godfather remains fresh, with credit due to its timeless themes, stacked cast, and sheer cinematic quotability. Even if you've never seen this film before, you've seen it before, because it's touched nearly every facet of life (including politics) of the last 50 years. Proof that sometimes, the Oscars do get it right. – Aisha Harris
5. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
The phrase "cannibalistic serial killer" doesn't turn up in the synopses of most best picture winners, but The Silence of the Lambs isn't just any horror movie. It's a psychological thriller headlined by Oscar-winning performances from Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins, who makes a meal (sorry) of some of the film's juiciest bits of dialogue. The portrayal of serial killer Buffalo Bill hasn't aged well, but the deeply uneasy relationship at the film's center haunts audiences to this day. – Stephen Thompson
4. Schindler's List (1993)
The cultural significance of Schindler's List extends well beyond its Oscars pedigree: Steven Spielberg's film, which tells the story of German industrialist Oskar Schindler, also helped spark a worldwide reckoning around the Holocaust while many of its survivors were still alive to tell their stories. It's also a sublimely made film, thanks in part to stunning cinematography (by Janusz Kamiński), an unforgettable score (by John Williams) and riveting performances from Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley and Ralph Fiennes, among others. – Stephen Thompson
3. Moonlight (2016)
Yes, best pictures can be about spectacle, bombast, "dreams made of shadow and light," etc. But in the right hands, they can also explore something as deeply personal and shockingly intimate as identity, as in this searchingly empathetic film written and directed by Barry Jenkins, which follows a queer Black boy through his adolescence and manhood. Every frame is shot through with the ache of melancholy, a desperate yearning for connection, and the main character's exhausting self-vigilance to keep anyone from seeing him for who he is. Not for nothing, it also supplied us with the most memorable Oscar-night moment in recent memory. – Glen Weldon
2. Casablanca (1943)
Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid form a haunted love triangle in a Moroccan World War II purgatory full of faint promise, deadly peril and a song that can't stop conjuring old, hard memories. Virtually every line of Casablanca has long been etched in the cultural firmament, serving as the source material for many generations' worth of callbacks and references. Yet the film hasn't lost its relevance or emotional pull, as its story of refugees, uncertainty and war continues to reverberate. – Stephen Thompson
1. Parasite (2019)
Not only is Bong Joon-ho's Parasite a brilliant satire and a twisty story that's practically two movies in one; it was one of the most satisfying best picture victories ever. If you wanted the Oscars to move past the dutiful, boring wins that some years had brought, the idea of Parasite actually taking the trophy was just about the best thing you could hope for. Together with Moonlight winning a couple of years earlier, it really started to seem like the wonderful films you wished could win best picture actually could. – Linda Holmes

World No. 2 Medvedev could be banned from playing in Wimbledon this year: Report
By IANS | Published: April 5, 2022 01:53 PM2022-04-05T13:53:08+5:302022-04-05T14:05:22+5:30
London, April 5 Wimbledon could ban Russian tennis player and current world No. 2 Daniil Medvedev from competing ...
London, April 5 Wimbledon could ban Russian tennis player and current world No. 2 Daniil Medvedev from competing in the tournament this year over fears that a win could "boost (President) Vladimir Putin's regime amid the invasion of Ukraine," according to a report in mirror.co.uk.
While Russian players are allowed to compete without flags or anthems in the wake of Russia's aggression in Ukraine, the report said that the All England Club could likely impose stricter measures on Russian tennis players, including Medvedev.
The report added that the All England Club had been advised that its independent tournament status means it "could implement a ban on Russian players that fail to condemn the actions of Putin and not face legal repercussions".
As with other tournaments on the tour, including the three other majors, which have remained neutral "due to fears they could be taken to court", Wimbledon can take stricter measures as the tournament "possesses a different status", the report added.
A spokesperson for the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) appears to have confirmed the Championships may ask Russian athletes to go a step further and maybe sign a form condemning Putin's action in order to compete at Wimbledon, according to the report.
"Private member clubs have more freedom as to who to allow in or not, so they wouldn't be subject to the same discrimination laws as the tours," the spokesman was quoted as saying in the report on Monday evening.
"If you are running the main tennis tour, you have the freedom to ban players if they have been found guilty of match-fixing or doping, for instance but you have to be able to show that this course of action is reasonable.
"In this instance, if the tours took strong action, Russ players could argue that they are being prevented from making a living through no fault of their own. That is not so much of an issue for Wimbledon, however," the spokesman said.
The AELTC will likely release their policy next month before the deadline for the entries ends, said the report. "It would allow impacted players to know what is expected of them if they hope to play at the grass-court grand slam," added the report.
UK sports minister Nigel Huddleston recently declared that Putin must not be allowed to take political advantage of any Russian athletes and their achievements in Britain, according to the report.
He has suggested that "Medvedev and Belarusian world No. 5 Aryna Sabalenka should only be allowed to participate in major sporting events in the UK as long as they sign a form denouncing Putin and his actions".
"We wish to get assurance in a written declaration that they are not receiving money from Putin, Russia or Belarus (and) that they will not be making supportive comments of Putin, Russia or Belarus," Huddleston said.

By Cathy DeDe, Chronicle Managing Editor
Campaign signs are already up for Linda Clark and Lisa Doster as they challenge for Lake George School Board seats in the May 17 election.
Three seats are up for election.
Incumbent Maryanne MacKenzie, is seeking reelection, but Linda ‘Lin’ King and Melissa Seale are not.
Elementary parent and business owner Chris Picard announced on Facebook that he is running for school board, too.
Petitions are not due until April 18.
The Chronicle contacted the four candidates. (Also see separate sidebars.)
Ms. Clark and Ms. Doster are running as a team. They became active at school board meetings this last year over issues including sports team mergers, the district’s Warrior logo, and plans to bring Diversity, Equity and Inclusion — DEI — programs to the school.
“We’re friends and neighbors on Glen Lake,” which is in the Lake George School District, the women told The Chronicle in a joint interview.
Ms. Doster, a cosmetologist with many family and business involvements, has two children in the middle and high school.
Ms. Clark is a retired Schuylerville High School English teacher who remains president of the teachers union.
“I am very well trained in how to protect teachers and I believe in fair labor practice,” she said. Her two children graduated from Lake George “many years ago.”
Ms. Doster said, “I’m running personally to inspire a safe and healthy learning environment that allows parents the right and voice in their children’s education process.”
She got involved last summer when parents were “blindsided,” she said, over a plan to merge football programs with Corinth. With parent input, the district instead merged with Warrensburg, “a better fit,” she believes.
Doster & Clark cite DEI issue
“We love the school district,” both women said, but Ms. Clark adds, “We see changes nationally and we want to make sure we are not going in that same direction.”
Both women joined the board’s ad hoc committee to form a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion plan. “We don’t feel DEI is necessary in our district, but we want a voice in how it is created, so we are participating,” Ms. Clark says.
“DEI is not mandated by the state,” she says. “We are confused as to why Lake George thinks we need it.”
“The board couldn’t answer us,” Ms. Doster said. “What bias is in the district to bring forth a policy like this? The question still goes unanswered.”
“I did a lot of research,” Ms. Clark said, which she says links DEI to what’s known as Critical Race Theory, or CRT, “a big concern across the country.”
“It’s got a whole bunch of components having to do with racial issues. It’s not Lake George,” Ms. Clark says. “There aren’t these issues in Lake George.”
“A ton of policies we already have kind of encompass this,” Ms. Doster says. “There are state laws on disability, civil rights. We don’t need another policy. Maybe an affirmation, maybe recognizing and doing more with social emotional learning.”
“The school board told us it is an affirmation,” Ms. Clark said, “but the draft just came out and — it’s a new policy. There’s a lot of vagueness that could go in a lot of different directions.
“DEI is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a utopian presentation but it becomes a totally different beast.”
The women say they seek transparency, and parents’ voice in the process, “and in their children’s education.”
“Everything in moderation,” Ms. Clark says. “Race, gender, religion…You can’t judge a book from its cover. We all come from different and unique backgrounds and no one can point at something that is right or wrong about any.”
Meanwhile, looking at the school’s Warrior logo of a Native American Indian head, they said the school board “followed community desire,” when they designated it a “heritage logo.”
They also observe the Indian head logo is not being used on some school apparel, and it was removed from the gym floor.
“Why not present that symbol as a teachable moment,” Ms. Clark suggests. “What it means, how Native Americans impacted the community. That’s different than running around in the auditorium with a tomahawk screaming and yelling…Every student at every level should be understanding of that logo and what it means.”
“It comes down to respect,” Ms. Doster says.
Lin King’s view as she steps down
Mrs. King, who is stepping down from her school board seat, told The Chronicle, “We have just successfully completed a comprehensive, inclusive search for a new superintendent and I feel it is time to have some fresh eyes on our very competent board.”
She said, “I am remaining on the WSWHE BOCES board. So I will remain involved in public education.”
Maryanne MacKenzie seeks re-election to LG School Board
Maryanne MacKenzie, Vice President seeking reelection to the Lake George School Board, told The Chronicle via e-mail:
“My focus has been on assuring sound policies and processes, systems and structures that guide the district toward best outcomes and ensure that all stakeholders have agency as they navigate the school experience.”
As chair of the policy committee, she said they “engaged a large group of Lake George stakeholders,” by creating the ad hoc committee to develop a DEI policy “that is just right for Lake George Schools… in ensuring that everyone experiences being welcome, important and valued in our schools.”
She said, “We are still in process with this incredibly meaningful experience.”
Ms. MacKenzie says, “I have actively worked to create a welcoming and safe environment for anyone wishing to express themselves.”
“I genuinely care about every person I interact with or am in front of. I am objective and fair-minded and seek always to serve and support with integrity and in the most positive and collaborative ways possible. It is rewarding to welcome voices to the table.”
She said she also headed up efforts to refine district hiring policies and other guidelines.
Asked about the school’s Native American mascot, Ms. MacKenzie said it’s a “relevant” topic of conversation “nationally, statewide and locally.”
“We have demonstrated responsiveness to this by encouraging and welcoming dialogue on this topic, as well as openness to differing perspectives and opinions.” —Cathy DeDe
Candidate Chris Picard: Impact on his child; add male voice to board
Elementary parent and business owner Chris Picard announced on Facebook that he is running for the Lake George School Board.
He tells The Chronicle he got interested in the school board during Covid. “I think Lake George did well but there were a lot of inconsistencies,” particularly, he said, as the parent of a daughter with ADHD. “I saw how her education has regressed.”
At a board meeting last summer, when questions had to be submitted in writing, he said he and his wife felt “not heard.”
“It seems the school board has gone rogue and parental input is not there. Everyone on the board seems to have the same mind-set.”
Mr. Picard notes, “There are no men on the board. That’s not huge, but it would seem good to have at least one male.”
He said, “I have a construction background, so I would like to focus on building and grounds. I own several businesses. I’d like to work on the budget, and making sure students have access to skilled trade programs like BOCES.
“Lastly, I’d want to work on improving communication and respect, bring it back to the stakeholders. I wouldn’t have run if I didn’t feel I was not heard. I’m not right, I’m not left. I’m middle.”
Of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, he said, “These conversations need to be had. It needs to be balanced.” —Cathy DeDe
Rachel Seeber weighs in for Lisa Clark, Lisa Doster: they all downplay it
Queensbury At Large County Supervisor Rachel Seeber weighed in on behalf of Linda Clark and Lisa Doster on her “Team Seeber” web page.
“For my friends in the Lake George school district — here are two strong, independent, educated and intelligent, results-driven candidates to vote for! Best of luck to Lisa Doster and Linda Clark,” wrote Ms. Seeber, adding the hashtag “womensupportingwomen.”
Ms. Doster and Ms. Clark downplayed the comment, as did Ms. Seeber.
Ms. Doster said, “I’m a people person with a lot of friends,” adding, with Ms. Clark, “We haven’t been endorsed by anyone.”
Ms. Seeber deferred, “I don’t see how anything I would have to say would be relevant in a town I don’t live in or a race that I am not involved in.”

Alexander Volkanovski is being tipped to go on one of the greatest winning runs in UFC history — and potentially land a super fight against Conor McGregor — with countryman Robert Whittaker declaring: “I find it hard to see him losing to anyone”.
Currently undefeated in all 10 UFC appearances, Australia’s UFC featherweight king will look to officially etch his name among the company’s greatest winners at UFC 273 on Sunday.
Should Volkanovski defend his title for a third time against Chan Sung Jung, aka The Korean Zombie, he will become just the 11th fighter in UFC history to win 11 straight.
Watch UFC 273: Volkanovski vs The Korean Zombie LIVE on Main Event available on Kayo & Foxtel, Sunday 10th April from 12pm AEST. ORDER NOW >
Better, the 33-year-old will also enter discussions for a host of super fights against the likes of Max Holloway, Henry Cejudo, even UFC megastar McGregor.
Speaking with News Corp from Jacksonville, Florida this week, where he headlines on Sunday, Volkanosvki suggested he would go as heavy as welterweight to land a fight with the Irishman, who wore the featherweight crown in 2015.
While reluctant to look too far beyond this weekend — “my focus is on Zombie” — the $1.13 TAB favourite confirmed the idea of facing McGregor was appealing, even if it meant going 11kg heavier than where he fights now.
Already, Volkanovski has beaten the division’s other champions in Jose Aldo and Max Holloway, the latter twice.
“So I beat McGregor and I’ve taken them all,” he said.
“You and I have spoken a lot over the years but I’ve never really talked about legacy.
“Never thought too much about it. But now, I’m changing my whole view on this.
“I want my name written into the history books. I want people to remember me.
“That’s really driving me now.”
American heavyweight Jon Jones owns the longest UFC win streak, with 17.
Then follows Brazilian legend Anderson Silva (16) and welterweight champ Kamaru Usman (15), with four more fighters boasting a run of 13 straight – Khabib Nurmagomedov, Georges St Pierre, Max Holloway and Demetrious Johnson.
Should Volkanovski beat Zombie as expected, he will almost certainly be pitched into a trilogy bout against Holloway, who he has already beaten twice.
Yet while their last fight may have finished controversially, and left many fans convinced Holloway did enough to claim the win, Australia’s first UFC champion Whittaker has tipped his countryman to not only get the victory on Sunday, but then continue to dominate the featherweight division.
“I think Zombie is in a hard position with this fight,” Whittaker said. “Because at featherweight, Alex has become a real powerhouse. He’s got it all.
“I find it hard to see Volk losing not only to Zombie, but anyone else in that division right now.”
Certainly bookmakers are backing Whittaker’s claim, with the former Wollongong concreter firming for one of the most lopsided championship bouts in years.
In Las Vegas, oddsmaker have Volkanosvki as short as -800.
On the TAB, meanwhile, he has firmed to $1.13, with Zombie a $6 outsider.
Quizzed on how far he would go to make the McGregor fight happen, given the Irishman is little chance of going back to featherweight, Volkanovski continued: “I’d go to welterweight.
“I know he (McGregor) can get lower than that, and there’s no use going that high just for the sake of it. But if anything lighter were a deal breaker then, yeah, I’d do it.
“Because McGregor’s the only other (featherweight) champion I haven’t beaten.
“I take him out, I’ve then taken them all.”
Meanwhile, Whittaker is also back in fight camp himself, despite losing to UFC middleweight champ Israel Adesanya in February. The Sydneysider is booked to face Italian Marvin Vettori at UFC 275 in Singapore on June 12.
While Whittaker has lost twice in title fights to Adesanya, he insists a win over Vettori should put him right back into the title picture.
So close was Whittaker’s decision loss to Adesanya at UFC 271, large sections of the Houston, Texas crowd erupted in boos when the judges’ scorecards were announced.
Afterwards, Whittaker also told reporters he had done enough to be declared the winner.
Quizzed on the gap that existed between himself and an Adesanya trilogy, Whittaker replied: “I’d love to beat Vettori and have maybe one more. But who knows?
“Look how far he (Adesanya) was running the first time when I tried to get a rematch.
“And now that the second fight was as close as it was, he’s going to be double-timing it away. So who knows?
“It’s unchatered territory.
“And we have seen guys in the past get stuck in this position. But all I can do is beat up everyone that’s in front of me. Luckily, I get paid to do that too.”

A MARTINEZ, HOST:
Today marks one year since eight people, including six women of Asian descent, were shot and killed at spas and massage parlors in metro Atlanta. Events have been happening across the country to remember the victims and rally against anti-Asian violence. Some communities, including cities such as Nashville, with smaller Asian populations, say they're more determined than ever to unite. From NPR's member station WPLN, Juliana Kim reports.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
JULIANA KIM, BYLINE: In a small, dimly lit bar in East Nashville, a group of Asian Americans mingle. They sip on lychee cocktails and munch on sriracha-splattered fries. On stage, a Chinese American country singer named Andrei belts a cover of Chris Lane.
ANDREI: (Singing) I don't know about you, but I never come into this bar.
KIM: The get-together is organized by API Middle Tennessee. For over a year, the group has been hosting a monthly happy hour for fellow Asians and Pacific Islanders. The founder, Joseph Gutierrez, says spaces like this are rare in Nashville.
JOSEPH GUTIERREZ: A lot of people, I think, were like myself, recognizing, you know, there just - there wasn't a place to feel like you were connected to people.
KIM: He's originally from Los Angeles, which is one of the largest Asian populations in the country. Meanwhile, in Nashville, Asian Americans make just shy of 4% of the city.
GUTIERREZ: There's one story that really sticks out from one of our community members that kind of had typed in that exact question on Google. Like, where are the Asian people at in Nashville? And their No. 1 result for a while was, like, P.F. Chang's. I was just like, this is terrible.
KIM: For Gutierrez, it was only on rare occasions that he would meet fellow Asian Americans, either through work or friends of friends. He thought to himself, there must be a better way. All of this unfolded at a time when there was a resurgence of anti-Asian violence, some of it tied to the COVID-19 outbreak. From March 2020 to this December, over 10,000 attacks against Asian Americans were reported in the U.S., according to the group Stop AAPI Hate. The FBI also reported a spike in anti-Asian hate crimes since 2019.
GUTIERREZ: One of the immediate things after the shootings was recognizing that an organization like this now has a dimension of safety to it, right?
KIM: After the attack, his group organized a vigil downtown. For some, it was the first time in Nashville they saw so many Asian Americans gathered in one place. Gutierrez and others realized there's a lot more work to do.
And it's not just Nashville. Other places with relatively small Asian populations have channeled their grief and anger to spur progress. In Indianapolis, organizers have been pressing elected officials to recognize and denounce anti-Asian hate. In Milwaukee, advocates have been pushing for more Asian American history to be taught in schools.
CHRISTINE LAI: People are recognizing that we can't be just an island.
KIM: Christine Lai is the president of the Greater Nashville Chinese Association. The group has been around for decades, but only recently have they started to protest, track legislation and brainstorm ways the city can be more inclusive. Lai says their WeChat group has never been so active.
LAI: We're not shy to speak out or ask for respect to protect our community.
KIM: She and other Asian Americans are asking themselves what progress would look like in Nashville. For Daniel Yoon, a Korean adoptee, all of these discussions are happening while he's learning to embrace his heritage and identity. But he says one thing is already clear.
DANIEL YOON: I want Asian American Pacific Islanders to join other people of color in this city and state and truly be powerful.
KIM: Until then, Yoon says, he won't be satisfied.
For NPR News, I'm Juliana Kim in Nashville.

MANILA - The Marcos family has yet to pay the estate tax of P23 billion according to a 1997 ruling of the Supreme Court. This amount has since ballooned to P203 billion, because of penalties and interest.
Amid persisting disinformation about how the Marcoses are not compelled to pay as heirs, the Bureau of Internal Revenue recently said it was "collecting and demanded payment from the Marcos Estate Administrators."
The unpaid estate tax can shoulder the costs of the health sector with regards to funding programs or purchasing expensive medical equipment, pay for the hospitalization and treatment fees of Filipinos for diseases such as COVID-19, tuberculosis, cancer, HIV, etc.
Here's a detailed look:
Universal Healthcare (UHC)
According to DOF estimates in 2019, the initial funding required is P257 billion, with an annual increase of P11 billion to P12 billion, or a five-year total budget of P1.44 trillion by 2024. 1 The budget will be sourced from the sin tax hike.
The average annual cost of UHC’s implementation over the 5-year period is thus P288 billion per year.
For the UHC, P203 billion is enough to cover 70% of the UHC’s budget for one year.
Funding the pandemic
For COVID-19, according to a study titled “Hospitalization Expenditure of COVID-19 patients at the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) with PhilHealth Coverage,” the average hospital expenses of a COVID-19 patient confined at the UP-PGH, with PhilHealth coverage, based on the study's sample of 691 patients, was around P231,300.
For COVID-19 patients, P203 billion is enough to cover the hospitalization costs of about 877,600 COVID-19 patients with PhilHealth coverage at the UP-PGH.
Tuberculosis costs
According to House of Representatives Committee on Health Chair Dr. Angelina Tan, “drug- susceptible TB (DSTB) or the type of TB that can be treated by first line drugs, treatment for an adult may cost P2,300 for six months. For the more potent type called drug resistant TB (DRTB), treatment cost ranges between P35,000 to P600,000, depending on the treatment regimen.”
For Tuberculosis patients, P203 billion is enough to cover the treatment of 88.26 million adults with drug-susceptible TB (DSTB) or the treatment of between 338,000 to 5.80 million adults with drug resistant TB (DRTB) depending on the treatment regimen.
Trying to cure cancer
Based on the medical costs of a Filipino mother with ovarian cancer for six years from 2010 to 2016, her family spent P100,000 per cycle of chemotherapy every three weeks; P20,000 pesos for oral medications per month; and more or less P100,000 pesos for a series of diagnostic tests to monitor the progress of her medications.
For cancer patients, P203 billion is enough to cover 2.03 million chemotherapy sessions; 10.15 million oral medications for cancer treatment; and more or less the series of diagnostic tests to monitor the progress of cancer medications of 2.03 million cancer patients.
HIV Treatment
According to Sam Hytham, a person living with HIV, it costs him about “P20,000 to P25,000 at least twice a year” for laboratory exams in order to find out if his body was reacting well to his antiretroviral treatment.
For HIV patients, P203 billion is enough to cover the cost of between 8.12 million to 10.15 million laboratory PLHIV tests.
Quality medical equipment
According to the medical equipment supplier Block Imaging, the price of a mid-end quality CT Scanner machine ranges from USD120,000-USD160,000 or roughly P6.2 million to P8.29 million per unit.
A mid-end quality MRI Scanner machine will cost anywhere from USD325,000-USD500,000 or roughly P16.8 million to P25.9 million.
A mid-end quality General X-Ray room will cost anywhere from USD50,000 - USD75,000, or roughly P2.6 million to P3.9 million per unit.
According to a report by Fior Markets, an ICU Bed will cost anywhere from USD25,000 to USD30,000 or roughly P1.29 million to P1.55 million per unit.
For hospitals, P203 billion is enough to:
- Fund the purchase of 24,500-32,700 CT Scanner Machines.
- Fund the purchase of 7,800-12,000 MRI Scanner Machines.
- Fund the installation of 52,000-78,000 General X-Ray rooms.
- Fund the purchase of 131,000 to 157,000 ICU beds.

Avinash Sable, India’s Tokyo Olympian and 3000-meter steeplechase specialist, has a knack for breaking track records. Since 2018, he has improved the national steeplechase record half-a-dozen times.
Last month, the 27-year-old Maharashtra athlete further improved his own national steeplechase record. At a domestic meeting, he clocked 8:16.21 to better the 8:18.12 seconds set last year at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
This week at the 25th National Federation Cup Athletics Competition in Kozhikode, the promising track runner has set his eyes on the men’s 5000m national record of 13:29.70 set in 1992 by Bahadur Prasad in Birmingham. The 5,000m race is scheduled for Wednesday, the last day of the competition.
Even more astonishingly, Sable has never attempted a 5000m track race in the past. If he achieves his goal, he will be the first Indian to hold both a 3000m steeplechase and a 5000m record.
The army runner has competed on the Indian road racing circuit ranging from 21km to 25km distance, but the 3000m steeplechase has been his preferred event on the track.
Sable holds the national 21km record of one hour and 30 seconds set in 2020. He was the first Indian male runner to break 61 minutes for 21km.
According to a senior national athletics coach, Sable’s current form hints at the possibility of erasing the long-standing national 5000m mark.
“In my opinion, Sable has the potential to clock below 13:30 seconds for the 5000m track race,” he said. “It will be an exciting race as the field is strong in 5000m.”
Abhishek Pal and Govindan Lakshmanan are at least two runners in the group that have clocked below 14 minutes for the 5000m race.
“Pal or Lakshmanan are good runners and are strong contenders for a podium finish," the coach further said. "But it depends on what their race strategy for Wednesday’s track race is. Whether they go all out from the start or play a waiting game and surge in the last lap remains to be seen."
Amrish Kumar, a former national coach, said Sable might have the potential to break new barriers in the steeplechase race, but the 5000m track race is different. Kumar, who was also Sable's coach since 2016, said:
“There is a possibility of a good time in the 5000m race if the leading group of athletes push each other. If Sable runs solo, it will be a challenging task to break the 5000m record."

In early March, the $120 million superyacht Amore Vero was one of the first seized vessels. France's government released a statement saying they got the one belonging to Igor Sechin. However, he denied ownership, and it looks like the government doesn’t know who will foot the bill.
It was on March 2 when the French government seized a superyacht named Amore Vero (True Love), as a result of Russia’s violent invasion of Ukraine. The governments had just started imposing sanctions on Russia, many of them meant for its many oligarchs, who have been losing billions since the outbreak of war.
The measure to seize superyachts pushed some billionaires to take their assets and move them out of reach, while others didn’t have such luck. Among the unlucky ones seems to be one more of Vladimir Putin’s cronies, Igor Sechin. Thought to be Russia’s wealthiest and most powerful man after the State Leader, the Russian oil baron has a non-estimated wealth.
On March 2, the French Minister of Economy, Bruno Le Maire, shared on Twitter a letter that explained that authorities seized the Amore Vero superyacht in the port of La Ciotat in Southern France. The vessel had arrived there on January 3 and was supposed to leave on April 1, after undergoing repairs.
But now it’s been a month since the vessel was seized, and it’s been nothing but a headache. Government seizing gives authorities custody over the vessel, but the owner still has to pay for all the mooring fees.
A statement sent to Reuters by Rosneft, the company Vladimir Putin appointed Sechin as CEO of, denies that the superyacht belongs to one of the unnamed firms owned by the Russian magnate. This left the French government in a state of uncertainty, as it is yet unclear who is responsible for Amore Vero’s upkeep.
"We're continuing to invoice," Alice Boisseau, communications officer for La Ciotat Shipyards told Reuters. Asked who would foot the bill, she said: "We don't know." The bills include mooring, fuel, and upkeep, and, for some vessels, it can reach millions of dollars every month.
Over in Spain, authorities impounded the $600 million megayacht Crescent in the port of Tarragona, in Catalunya, which is also said to belong to the Russian oligarch.

Georgia Tech’s on and off field coaching staffs continue to evolve as spring practice has wound down, and another wave of transfer portal activity awaits. Last week, Kerry Dixon made official his rumored departure by accepting an Assistant QB Coach job with the Baltimore Ravens. Congratulations to Coach Dixon for getting an on-field role in one of the NFL’s premier organizations.
Georgia Tech responded by hiring Del Alexander to fill the newly-vacated Wide Receiver coaching position. Alexander is a veteran coach with four previous P5 jobs, including having worked the past 5 years as the WR coach at Notre Dame. Alexander was not retained this offseason, and Chip Long moved to hire up a coach that he oversaw for 3 of those years at Notre Dame.
Alexander’s working relationship at Notre Dame appeared to grow stale, but there’s no clear lag in overall offensive performance that appeared to necessitate his dismissal. Let’s look at the numbers from a couple of perspectives. It is difficult to parse out the contributions of a wide receivers coach to overall offensive performance, but we will focus on numbers that should be correlated with the receiving group, at the least. First, we will compare the offensive performance of Notre Dame for the two years prior to Alexander’s arrival to the average performance during his tenure.
ND Offense Before and During Del Alexander’s Tenure
As you can see, Notre Dame hasn’t changed a whole lot, although there has been a decline in performance on passing downs (2nd and 8, 3rd and 5 or longer). Slight upticks in overall and passing down explosiveness are a good reflection on the receivers coach; otherwise, the offense shows very marginal change. This has been a solid offensive football team for a while now.
What about a possible downturn towards the end of Alexander’s time?
ND Offensive Performance During Alexander’s Tenure
Not much evidence points in that direction. Notre Dame has been remarkably consistent on offense. After a 2019 lull in explosiveness, those numbers surged back up this past season. There’s no clear numerical reason for Alexander to have been let go this past season, and his overall tenure correlates with solid Notre Dame offensive output. This has been an offense with a clearly superior passing game to GT over this time period. We have reason to believe that this hire will bring a meaningful improvement in the on-field coaching elements for GT’s Wide Receiver corps.
The second hire of the week is a new Offensive Analyst position that will be occupied by Jim Chaney. The veteran offensive coordinator spent a year as an analyst with the New Orleans Saints before deciding to come to the Flats and work with his former QB Coach Chris Weinke. Chaney has a coaching career that has spanned more than 35 years and has most recently been the offensive coordinator for Arkansas, Pittsburgh, UGA, and Tennessee.
Let’s take a look at the impact he had at each of these stops (combining the two UT tenures) by comparing the 3 years prior to his arrival to the performance while he was OC:
Offensive Comparison for Jim Chaney’s Tenures
The most striking feature of this comparison is that Chaney oversaw improvements in PPA/play at each of his last four schools. As a reminder, PPA is an expected points metric developed by www.collegefootballdata.com that gives us a very predictive measure of a team’s overall ability. The improvement of nearly 0.08 PPA/play at Tennessee is a full standard deviation, which is the kind of jump that GT absolutely has to make in 2022. Beyond that, the consistency in PPA improvement bodes well for the kind of impact we should expect from Chaney on GT’s offensive efficiency. The other numbers are less exciting, as they tell a more mixed story, but PPA is by far the most predictive of these four measures, and it’s good to see GT adding another offensive mind with this track record of improvement.
Questions remain on the personnel side, and the staff is clearly immersed in bringing in more bodies through the portal. On the coaching side, these hires look like wins.

Over the last two years, NPR's All Things Considered has been remembering some of the people who have died of COVID-19 in the U.S. People like Carol Cohn, known as Mommom to her family.
Melanie Gardiner likes to remember her grandmother by wearing her jewelry and reflecting on her distinctive taste in fashion.
"Mommom always had a matching outfit," Gardiner said. "Black and white was her favorite color combination because it was just so classic, nothing could beat it."
"If it was a black and white outfit, she'd have black and white earrings. If she was wearing a pink outfit, bright pink earrings to match. And if we have 10 fingers, rings were on about 8 of them."
Gardiner says it wasn't just Mommom's bling that shone. She also had a quick wit that often lit a room in peals of laughter.
"There was a time where my cousin, Michael, asked my grandma as she was putting eye drops in here eyes, what she needed it for," Gardiner recalled. "And without missing a beat she said, 'It's so I can see your ugly face better!'"
Although she liked to tease, Gardiner remembers Mommom as a loving grandmother who loved to spoil her family.
One of her favorite ways to do that was by preparing traditional Jewish meals like lokshen kugel, stuffed cabbage, and, of course, Mommom's matzo ball soup. Gardiner made sure to get the recipe for that one.
"She gave me a pen and paper and said, 'You're going to take notes and you're going to watch me do what I'm doing,'" Melanie said. "And as she's putting together the matzo balls, she's like cupping them in her hands, making them into balls before dropping them in the pot of boiling water. And she goes, 'Honestly, Mel, it's so easy even an idiot can do it!'"
Carol "Mommom" Cohn died at age 91 from COVID in April 2020. In her honor, Melanie is sharing the beloved matzo ball recipe and spreading the word even further.

When are the Champions League semi-finals? Dates, teams, how to watch & everything you need to know
By the time any Champions League campaign reaches the semi-final stage, dreams of savouring ultimate glory will have started to form for those still left in the running.
In 2021-22 the finishing line is almost in sight, with four teams set to be involved in what promises to be a thrilling battle for continental supremacy.
Who are those sides, when will they be locking horns and how can you keep right up to date with all of the action in Europe’s premier club competition? GOAL has everything that you need to know right here.

- How Benfica became Tottenham to help Liverpool win the 2019 Champions League
When did the Champions League semi-final draw take place?
The route to the final of the 2021-22 Champions League was mapped out on March 18 when the quarter-final draw was held.
At that point, the eight sides left in the running were made aware of which paths they would need to cross in order to make their way to the final at Stade de France in Paris on May 28.
What dates will the Champions League semi-finals be played on?
The first legs of the 2021-22 Champions League semi-finals will take place on April 26 and 27, with opportunities presented there in which to put one foot into the final.
Return dates are pencilled in for May 3 and 4, with those contests ultimately determining who goes forward to take a shot at landing the ultimate prize.

Which teams are involved in the Champions League semi-finals?
The quarter-final draw saw eight teams pulled out of the hat, with defending champions Chelsea still in contention to successfully defend their crown.
Real Madrid stunned Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 to keep their dreams alive and it would be foolish to write Premier League heavyweights Liverpool and Manchester City off.
Bayern Munich know what it takes to go all the way, Atletico Madrid have reached a couple of finals in the recent past, while Benfica and Villarreal are filling the roles of plucky underdogs.
The winners of Chelsea’s clash with Real Madrid will face either Manchester City or Atletico Madrid in the last four, while the other side of the draw will see Liverpool or Benfica take on the victors of Bayern Munich’s clash with Villarreal.

A MARTINEZ, HOST:
Many of us are still talking and tweeting about it - the slap at the Oscars. Will Smith lashed out after presenter Chris Rock told a joke about Will Smith's wife and her hair. But her shaved head isn't a fashion statement; she has a medical condition called alopecia, which causes hair loss. The day after the slap, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences condemned it, and Will Smith publicly apologized to Chris Rock on Instagram, saying he was out of line and wrong. Soraya Nadia McDonald is the senior culture critic for Andscape, formerly known as The Undefeated. Soraya, I mentioned that Will Smith has now apologized to Chris Rock, but when he won the best actor Oscar, he gave a tearful speech. You have written that you don't buy it. So what struck you as off about it?
SORAYA NADIA MCDONALD: Yes. Well, you know, there's something about that speech that I think speaks to a certain self-aggrandizement, you know, because it ended up kind of reinforcing the thing about this evening that I think ended up being the most profane, which is that it really sort of directed attention from everyone who is gathered there, you know, for this yearly industry fete and focused it all on Will Smith, but not in the way that I think he wanted it to. And even in his apology, you know, the live apology at the Oscars, the thing that sort of comes through is this need to center himself - right? - over, you know, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, who won the Oscar for best documentary feature, you know, over his wife and everyone, you know, even himself and, you know, the other nominees that evening.
MARTINEZ: Yeah. And he called it an act of love, to defend his wife. Soraya, I mean, if you were in Jada's seat and that happened to you, what's the first thing you would have said to Will when you had a moment alone?
MCDONALD: Please don't do that.
(LAUGHTER)
MCDONALD: You know, because here's the thing. You know, think about this - you know, say NPR has a yearly gala for everyone, you know, who works in public broadcasting. You know, how would you like it if your spouse went up and slapped someone in front of everybody that you work with?
MARTINEZ: Yeah, that would be bad. But the thing is, I mean, Chris Rock's a comedian. I mean, aren't they supposed to be making fun of celebrities at these awards shows? It's kind of like, they're there because they know they're going to get knocked down a peg.
MCDONALD: That is absolutely true. That is, you know, certainly something that happens at the Oscars every year. It's a tradition - right? - particularly in the opening monologue. And I think that was what initially made it so confusing, is that people really had a hard time trying to figure out whether or not this was a bit, until, you know, you could sort of see the anger on Will's face as he was shouting at Chris Rock from his seat after he'd returned.
MARTINEZ: And you mentioned, Soraya, that it's kind of like Will Smith, in your opinion, was kind of centering himself on this, when it came to that speech he gave. But some have also called what we saw on stage toxic masculinity.
MCDONALD: Yes.
MARTINEZ: I saw "The View's" Sunny Hostin call it a show of toxic masculinity. How do you see it? Is there any - does it hold any water?
MCDONALD: Yeah, I think so. I agree completely. You know, this idea that a woman's honor must be protected or defended, you know, with physical violence is something that I think doesn't really benefit the woman very much, right? It's much more about sort of brandishing one's own sort of masculine bona fides, but in a way that, you know, when we see this happen in real life, I don't know that it's necessarily so romantic. If anything, it's highly disturbing because it - you know, there's a violence there.
MARTINEZ: Yeah, especially, well, when you hear, love makes you do crazy things - I think a lot of people might have had some bad flashbacks hearing that.
MCDONALD: I think so and justifiably so. You know, that is something that we hear from folks who really have trouble with boundaries.
MARTINEZ: Senior culture critic for Andscape, Soraya Nadia McDonald. Soraya, thanks a lot.
MCDONALD: Thank you so much. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A track from Kirby Super Star has won a Grammy, after popular gaming cover band The 8-Bit Big Band covered it in early 2021.
A cover of ‘Meta Knight’s Revenge’ by The 8-Bit Big Band was nominated for the Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Capella award back in 2021, and was announced as the category’s winner at this year’s Grammys.
The Kirby cover managed to win despite competition from nominees Bill O’Connell, Emile Mosseri, and Robin Smith – whose rendition of Braveheart‘s ‘For The Love Of A Princess’ featured the London Symphony Orchestra.
You can listen to the Grammy-winning arrangement of ‘Meta Knight’s Revenge’ below.
‘Meta Knight’s Revenge’ is a track that first appeared in Kirby Super Star back in 1996, and was covered by The 8-Bit Big Band in January 2021. The cover band – which is known for creating jazz covers of video game soundtracks – is led by arrangers Charlie Rosen and Jake Silverman, who took to Twitter to share their win.
“Holy shit we won the Grammy!! Long live video game music!! Thanks to everybody who’s ever listened to The 8 Bit Big Band,” shared the pair, who also thanked “all of [the] artists who have contributed their time/talent.”
Upon hearing that they had won, Rosen and Silverman wasted no time in dancing up to the stage. You can see their acceptance speech below.

Biden-Obama: White House reunion to celebrate health law
WASHINGTON (AP) - The last time President Barack Obama was in the White House was on Jan. 20, 2017, when he left to escort his successor — bent on overturning “Obamacare” — to the Capitol to be inaugurated.
Obama returns to the White House on Tuesday for a moment he can savor. His signature Affordable Care Act is now part of the fabric of the American health care system, and President Joe Biden is looking to extend its reach. Sign-ups under the health law have increased under Biden’s stewardship, and more generous taxpayer subsidies have cut costs for enrollees, albeit temporarily.
Biden and Obama are marking the 12th anniversary of the law that back in 2010 the then-vice president had memorably called a “big (expletive) deal.” Its staying power has been enhanced by three Supreme Court victories and an emphatic thumbs-down vote by the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., which took the wind out of President Donald Trump’s efforts to repeal and replace it.
The law was such a bugaboo in 2010 that Democrats rarely invoked it as they went into a midterm election that turned out to be, in Obama’s own words, a “shellacking.” Now, Democrats are hoping the political equation will work to their advantage, and that a focus on shoring up the tween-age health law can help them avoid a debacle at the polls this November.
In addition to talking health care at the White House, Biden and Obama plan to meet for lunch, recalling their weekly ritual when Biden served as Obama’s vice president.
“They are real friends, not just Washington friends,” said White House press secretary Jen Psaki. She indicated that the two presidents would also discuss Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and other world events.
Obama likes to refer to his health care law as a “starter home” that Americans can build upon, gradually reducing the 9% share of the population that remains uninsured. The rate was nearly 15% in 2013, before the coverage provisions of the law took effect. Between the health law’s Medicaid expansion and its health insurance markets, more than 30 million people are now estimated to be getting coverage.
Shortly after taking office, Biden opened up the health insurance markets to anyone seeking coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic, and his coronavirus relief bill provided a significant, though temporary, increase in financial assistance. The result was a record 14.5 million people signed up for subsidized private coverage.
When it comes to how to keep that trend going, Obama and Biden have no shortage of options to discuss.
The Biden administration has been working on a fix to what’s known as the law’s family glitch, a quirk estimated to be keeping about 5 million people from getting coverage under the law. The White House announced the new policy proposal Tuesday.
People tripped up by the family glitch are dependents of workers who have an offer of employer coverage that the government interprets as being affordable. As a rule, people with affordable employer coverage are not eligible for taxpayer-subsidized ACA plans.
But the issue with the current interpretation is that affordability is determined by the cost for employee-only coverage, and not more expensive family policies. Workers able to afford their own share may not be able to cover premiums for the entire family. So the family is cut out of ACA coverage.
A Biden administration regulation addressing the issue recently cleared White House review. The intent of the original policy was to prevent people with employer coverage from going into the health law’s subsidized markets, but advocates say it has proven too restrictive.
The White House estimates that the fix would help 200,000 people get insurance and bring costs down for nearly 1 million more.
There are more fundamental issues for the two presidents to consider as well, both policy-wise and politically.
Unless Democrats in Congress finally coalesce around a version of Biden’s social legislation, his enhanced financial assistance for millions purchasing ACA plans will expire at the end of this year. A return to higher premiums would likely trigger an increase in the number of uninsured people, a political embarrassment for Democrats committed to expanding coverage.
The Biden legislation, which passed the House but sputtered in the Senate, also includes a mechanism for providing coverage to as many as 4 million uninsured low-income adults in states that have refused the health law’s Medicaid expansion. It would deliver on Biden’s campaign promise to build on existing government programs to move the U.S. closer to coverage for all.

Connecticut must better educate its students on climate change
In schools across Connecticut students are not being taught about the climate crisis. Even in high school climate change is often not woven into the curriculum, leaving students with little-to-no knowledge.
As the climate crisis continues to worsen, as demonstrated in the latest UN report, Connecticut is not preparing youth to handle this issue, an issue that youth will bear the brunt of, particularly in communities that are a majority BIPOC —Black, Indigenous, and People of Color —or low income.
I am currently a sophomore in high school. I have never been taught about climate change to the extent that many people—including our state legislators —believe it is being taught. I have been to Windham Public schools, Hartford Public schools, and now am a student at E.O. Smith High School. Throughout my time at all these schools the extent of my climate education has been the definition of climate change and the greenhouse effect. This is not nearly enough to allow students to understand climate change or possible solutions.
On March 4 I delivered testimony to the CT General Assembly Education Committee in support of HB 5285 , which would require that all school districts provide climate change instruction as part of the science curriculum. When I informed the legislators how little climate education I have received throughout my 11 years in school, I could see the visible shock on their faces.
It is time to dispel the myth that students are already receiving adequate climate change education. We are not. Instead, we must focus on ensuring that all current and future students receive adequate climate education. This is exactly what HB 5285 strives to accomplish.
This bill, titled An Act Concerning the Public School Curriculum , would require all public schools to teach about the climate crisis and hold them to Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS) levels. Students would have the opportunity to understand the scientific basis of the issue, including human impact, as well as possible solutions, such as a transition to renewable energy.
At the end of the day, climate education is science education. By making it required we are preparing Connecticut’s youth for the future. We are ensuring that students are aware of global scientific issues and can act accordingly.
We deserve an education that prepares us for the future and that is exactly what HB 5285 does. To any legislator that may read this, I ask that you support climate education. To every Connecticut resident who might read this, I ask that you write to your legislator and ask that they support HB 5285. I ask everyone to support our students’ education and by extension, our future.

Disney says character hugs, interactions will return soon
(CNN) - Disney guests will soon be able to hug their favorite characters again.
Walt Disney World and Disneyland guests can get up close and personal autographs, photos and hugs with Mickey Mouse and friends. COVID restrictions will be relaxed as early as April 18 for the traditional character interactions.
Disney parks have slowly been returning to normal operations, with Disney World’s Festival of Fantasy Parade starting back two weeks ago.
Meanwhile in California, Disneyland’s famous parade is expected to start up the marching band again the weekend of April 22.
While Disney is getting rid of some COVID restrictions, face masks are still required for all guests, ages 2 and older, on Disney buses and monorails. In Florida, masks are expected indoors for all guests who are not fully vaccinated, and in California, masks are recommended for everyone indoors.
Both parks encourage guests to get vaccinated.

In the Star Wars movies, the phrase “May the Force be with you” was used by Obi-Wan Kenobi to wish someone luck or goodwill. The "Force" was a mysterious "energy field" in the Star Wars fictional universe, and harnessing the power of the Force was said to give the Jedi and others sensitive to the “spiritual energy” extraordinary abilities and direct their path. The typical response to that phrase was, "May the Force be with us all."
I do not know about “the Force” of the Star Wars universe that Hollywood created but I do know about the most powerful Force in the real universe; the one God created. And that Force is the love of God, made manifest by His grace through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ.
That Force has nothing to do with "luck or goodwill." That Force enables people to be set free!
The love of God, poured out on the world through His Son’s death on the cross, has the power to save us from eternal death. But it also has the power, unlike anything else on earth, to restore broken relationships, free the prisoner (physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually), heal the wounded and infirm (physically and emotionally), and so much more! That is the Force you want with you.
Unfortunately, many people are running from the greatest Force in the universe. They are running from the one thing that can change their lives and set them free. Some are running because they believe God's love and grace are too good to be true. Some feel unworthy or undeserving of God's love. They’re running because they have bought into the enemy's (Satan) lie, which tells them God could never love them, so they just keep running.
Here’s the truth: There is no sin more powerful than the love of God! God's love is truly – a Force to be reckoned with. The scripture teaches that we can do nothing to earn God’s love nor can we do anything to lose it. All we can do is receive it, by faith, through believing in God's Son, Jesus Christ.
"But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
Christ died for you and me while we were still sinners. He did not wait for us to clean ourselves up, to earn or deserve His love by “living right,” because He knew we could not do so in our own strength. Because of His great love for us, He came, He died and He rose again, that through Him, we might have the forgiveness of sins and eternal life, who believe.
Friend, if you are running from the greatest Force this world has ever known, you are in essence running from God Himself. The scriptures tell us, "God is love" (1 John 4:8). And if you are running from God, I pray you will stop in your tracks, turn around, and start running toward Him today. He loves you! And I promise, He will welcome you with open arms and enable you to harness the Force that is His love and will give you much more than luck and goodwill. He will give you His Spirit, and with His Spirit comes extraordinary abilities and gifts you never imagined yourself having and His Spirit will forever direct your path.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
In the words of Obi-Wan Kenobi – “May the Force be with you”… and be with us all.

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Security Matters Limited (ASX: SMX), a company focusing on digitising physical objects on the blockchain, has successfully marked recycled plastics by studying the impact of different feeding methods on final PCR readings with high accuracy.
The UK and other countries have or will soon implement their recycled Plastic Packaging Tax Legislations, enabling companies which use SMX's automated auditing technology, to avoid human auditing errors and increase cost-savings.
"SMX is proud of the successful outcome of proving commercial readiness which will enable companies to join the global sustainability effort and comply with the new plastic regulations as they meet their business goals. Our revolutionary technology provides companies with economical and transparent solutions to identify and report on their recycled contents used in plastic packaging, and remove their dependency on human auditing," said Haggai Alon, SMX CEO and Founder.
The compounding extrusion processes to prove the commercial readiness was performed in a fully industrial facility, where SMX's marked PCR pellets were sent to a bottles manufacturer to validate the accuracy throughout the production phases.
The marked PCR bottles were scanned using an SMX handheld portable reader and digitally recorded for traceability. There were approximately 50 different bottles, produced with different inclusion levels, layer configurations and pigment choices.
It was found that the quantification of the PCR was successful and did not affect the accuracy of the PCR reading. The addition of pigments and regrinding materials had no effect on detectability or sensitivity to thickness variation.
SMX is the one solution to create a circular economy as they are able to track, trace, certify and authenticate gas, liquid, and solid products across supply chain processes from raw materials, productions, and recycling.
SMX's portfolio in the plastics department include joining NextCycle Michigan; the recent release of the SMX Generation 2.0 online unit; being awarded the Frost and Sullivan 2021 Global Waste Management and Recycling Digitalization Technology Innovation Leadership Award; and the implementation of SMX's technology into BASF's ReciChain project in North America in 2020.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate bargainers have reached agreement on a slimmed-down $10 billion package for countering COVID-19 with treatments, vaccines and other steps, the top Democratic and Republican negotiators said, but ended up dropping all funding to help nations abroad combat the pandemic.
The compromise drew quick support Monday from President Joe Biden, who initially pushed for a $22.5 billion package. In a setback, he ended up settling for much less despite administration warnings that the government was running out of money to keep pace with the disease’s continued — though diminished — spread in the U.S.
“Every dollar we requested is essential and we will continue to work with Congress to get all of the funding we need,” said White House press secretary Jen Psaki. “But time is of the essence. We urge Congress to move promptly on this $10 billion package because it can begin to fund the most immediate needs.”
Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., his party’s lead bargainer, abandoned Biden’s request to include $5 billion to help countries — especially poorer ones — where the disease is still running rampant.
The inability of Biden and top Democrats to protect the additional spending they wanted came after the two parties gridlocked over GOP demands to pay for it by pulling back unspent aid from earlier pandemic measures. It also reflected the diminished political force that battling COVID-19 has this election year, two years into a pandemic that began with bipartisan support for throwing trillions of dollars at it.
Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, the lead GOP bargainer, hailed the accord as one that would address “urgent COVID needs.” He also trumpeted the measure’s savings, which he said meant it “will not cost the American people a single additional dollar.”
Still uncertain Monday was whether objections by some Republicans might prevent the Senate from considering the bill this week, as Biden wants, before Congress begins a two-week spring recess. It was also not yet certain there would be the minimum 10 GOP votes needed for passage in the 50-50 chamber.
Its fate was also not guaranteed in the House, where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and many liberals have criticized the ejection of global assistance. But party leaders there signaled they were ready to compromise.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said, “That’s all the Senate can do right now, which I regret deeply, then I think we need to pass that” as fast as possible. A senior House Democratic aide, speaking on condition of anonymity to describe internal thinking, said it would be best to take what was achievable and fight for more later.
Schumer said the agreement would provide “the tools we need” to help the country recover from the economic and public health blows that COVID-19 has inflicted. But he said while the $10 billion “is absolutely necessary, it is well short of what is truly needed to keep up safe” over time.
He said members of both parties want to craft a second spending measure this spring that could include funds to battle COVID-19 and hunger overseas and more assistance for Ukraine as it continues battling the Russian invasion. The fate of such a measure is uncertain.
Romney also suggested an openness to considering future money. “While this agreement does not include funding for the U.S. global vaccination program, I am willing to explore a fiscally responsible solution to support global efforts in the weeks ahead,” he said.
The agreement comes with BA.2, the new omicron variant, expected to spark a fresh increase in U.S. cases. Around 980,000 Americans and over 6 million people worldwide have died from COVID-19.
At least half the agreement’s $10 billion would be used to research and produce therapeutics to treat the disease, according to fact sheets from Schumer and Romney.
The money would also be used to buy vaccines and tests. At least $750 million would be used to research new COVID-19 variants and to expand vaccine production, the descriptions said.
Administration officials have said the government has run out of money to finance COVID-19 testing and treatments for people without insurance. They’ve also said funds are running low for boosters, vaccines focused on specific variants, free monoclonal antibody treatments and care for people with immune system weaknesses.
The deal is also a reduction from a $15 billion version that both parties’ leaders negotiated last month. Pelosi abandoned that plan after Democratic lawmakers rejected proposed cuts in state pandemic aid to help pay for the package.
Democrats from both chambers complained about the eliminated global spending.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., leader of the House Progressive Caucus, said it is “a big problem” to erase the international assistance and “not spend money on making sure this virus is contained around the world.”
Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., a leading foreign policy voice, said he would back the bill but called it a “grave mistake” to not help other countries’ efforts. He called it “fiscally foolish” to not send tens of millions of unused U.S. vaccines abroad to the 2.8 billion unvaccinated people worldwide.
The measure is fully paid for by pulling back unspent funds from previous pandemic relief bills that have been enacted, bargainers said.
Romney’s fact sheet says that includes $2.3 billion from a fund protecting aviation manufacturing jobs; $1.9 billion from money for helping entertainment venues shuttered by the pandemic; another $1.9 billion from a program that helps states extend credit to small businesses; and $1.6 billion from agriculture assistance programs.

There’s no shortage of things to complain about when it comes to driving these days, whether it’s the high cost of gas or the poor quality of roadways. And we’ve never been shy about objecting to year after year of toll increases on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
But there’s another troubling aspect of highway tolling that the Pennsylvania Capital-Star raised in a recent report. Many motorists have no idea how much they’re paying.
The turnpike hasn’t distributed paper tickets for tolling since June 2020. The highway relies entirely on an electronic system to track motorists and calculate their tolls. Motorists with E-ZPass have the amount charged to the credit card linked to their account. For others, the system takes a photo of their license plate and bills them by mail.
The problem does pose a conundrum. Ideally people shouldn’t be surprised to find out how much their trip cost days or weeks after they traveled. But there’s not really a practical way to transmit the information.
Putting up a sign listing rates for a bridge or tunnel is relatively simple. It’s pretty much one price. There may be slight variations depending on such things as the time of day and E-ZPass usage, but the price list is pretty short.
There are dozens of interchanges on the turnpike, and the toll varies depending on where the driver got on the highway and where they exit. Even back when the turnpike gave out paper tickets with a table outlining the various toll possibilities, it wasn’t all that easy to read. Trying to put that information on a road sign would be pointless, not to mention dangerous for any driver who actually attempted to read it.
The best that can be done is to spread the word that the information is available on the turnpike’s website (www.paturnpike.com), which lists the rates and has a toll calculator tool. It would be an especially good idea for Pennsylvania residents expecting out-of-town visitors to share the information so they can factor it in when they plan their route.
We’re talking serious money here. The days of throwing a handful of change in a basket are long gone. A trip all the way across the state on the turnpike costs nearly $50 with E-ZPass and a whopping $95 without.
Turnpike officials said there have been incidents of visitors to Pennsylvania complaining of “sticker shock” when the bill for their journey came in. Informing people ahead of time can prevent such surprises.
Another issue raised in the Capital-Star report has to do with billing errors in the turnpike tolling system. One part of the problem is that the turnpike has lost out on millions of dollars in bills due to failures in the system.
And we agree with activist Jim Sikorski Jr. of the National Motorists Association when he notes that there should be some way for a driver to know if the turnpike’s toll booth transponder successfully read the vehicle’s EZ-Pass. Right now you don’t know until you get a bill in the mail for the toll.
Here are a few tips on this subject for Pennsylvania residents and visitors to the area.
If you don’t have an EZ-Pass, get one. It offers significant savings on tolls in Pennsylvania and nearby states, and eliminates the need to wait at toll booths where cash payment is still an option.
E-ZPass holders should check their statements regularly and keep a close eye on their credit card bills. The latter is good advice under any circumstances, of course. Too many people fail to notice what charges they’re facing month after month. In a world where there are so many services that automatically take money from people’s credit cards every month, it’s vital to keep track. Doing so is also crucial for identifying fraudulent activity.
We wish traveling weren’t so expensive, but that’s the reality. At least people should know what they’re getting into before they leave.

In honor of National Library Week April 3 to 9 — a time to highlight the essential role libraries, librarians and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening communities —the Pennsylvania Library Association announced the 2022 first quarter PA Forward Star Library awardees showcasing libraries who are committed to providing quality literacy programming to their communities.
Village Library of Morgantown received a Gold Star for Maintenance.
The theme for this year’s National Library Week is “Connect with Your Library,” which promotes the idea that libraries are places to get connected to technology by using broadband, computers, and other resources. Libraries also offer opportunities to connect with media, programs, ideas, and classes, in addition to books. Most importantly, libraries also connect communities to each other.
Libraries of all types continue to go above and beyond to keep their communities connected by expanding resources and embracing inclusion in their programming, resources, and collections. Libraries across Pennsylvania are making a difference in people’s lives by providing electronic learning resources like online homework help and wi-fi access for students and workers who may lack internet access at home.
“Yes, you can go to your local library and check out books, but these agile institutions demonstrate day in and day out they offer more than books,” Buker added. “Libraries offer the world to those who enter their doors. It is an honor to highlight those efforts with the PA Forward Star Library designation. Congratulations to all of our participating Star Libraries.”
PA Forward, which launched statewide in 2012, works through five key literacies – Basic, Information, Civic & Social, Health and Financial – to assist individuals in enhancing their overall quality of life. To continue helping libraries use PA Forward to demonstrate all their libraries offer, in January 2017, the Association kicked off the Star Library program statewide. The Star Library recognition offers support to libraries who participate and integrate PA Forward’s literacies in their programming activities. Program topics can include information such as retirement planning (financial literacy) to more physically active programs such as walking book club discussions (civic and social literacy and health literacy).
Libraries are recognized by their peers for meeting benchmarks within the bronze, silver, and gold star levels of the program. While one star is awarded for both the bronze and gold levels, a total of five stars are awarded in the silver category – one silver star for each of the five literacies of PA Forward. For each silver star award, a number appears denoting the number of silver stars obtained to date.
Stars are awarded on a quarterly basis in the calendar year and the recognition is for the highest level attained in the program at the time of the award. The libraries noted below are those that earned a first-time star or a new star level between January 1 and March 31. For more information about the Star Library Program, visit https://paforward.org/pa-forward-star-program/.
The next round of awards will be announced after July 6.

LONDON, April 5 (Reuters) - Copper prices rose to a
four-week high on Tuesday as a fall in output from top producer
Chile and pressure for more sanctions on Russia, another large
producer, raised supply risks.
Benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange (LME)
was up 0.4% at $10,514.50 a tonne by 1004 GMT, after reaching
$10,580, near the record high of $10,845 reached a month ago.
The metal used in power and construction is up around 8%
this year after rising around 25% in 2020 and 2021.
"Chilean copper production was incredibly low in February,"
said Commerzbank analyst Daniel Briesemann, while noting a rise
in the fees smelters are charging to refine ore suggests supply
is still reasonably abundant.
Prices should remain high or rise further, before falling
towards year end, Briesemann said.
CHILE: Chile's copper production fell by 7.5% in February to
394,700 tonnes, the government said.
CHARGES: China's top copper smelters raised their floor
treatment and refining charges (TC/RCs) for copper concentrate
in the second quarter by 14%, sources said last week.
SANCTIONS: Russia faced more Western sanctions in
retaliation for civilian killings in Ukraine. Russia produced
about 3.5% of the world's refined copper last year.
ZINC: On-warrant inventories of zinc in LME-registered
warehouses fell to 64,025 tonnes from 130,000 tonnes in
mid-March, highlighting fears of tight supply. <MZNSTX-TOTAL>
Some smelters in Europe have been forced by high power
prices to cut production. LME zinc was down 1.2% at
$4,316.50 a tonne but is up around 22% this year having reached
a record high in March.
OUTBREAK: Authorities in China, the biggest metals consumer,
extended a lockdown in Shanghai to cover 26 million people. The
COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted some industries.
ALUMINIUM: Some Japanese aluminium buyers have agreed a
premium of $172 a tonne for the second quarter, down 2.8% from
the first, sources said.
PRICES: LME aluminium was up 0.8% at $3,476 a tonne,
nickel rose 1.1% to $33,605, lead gained 0.2% to
$2,416.50, and tin was flat at $44,150.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — A top official in the global campaign against the use of land mines urged Russia on Monday to stop its troops in Ukraine from laying the weapons that too often kill and maim civilians.
Alicia Arango Olmos, Colombia’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva and this year’s president of the state parties to the 1997 convention banning the production and use of land mines, expressed deep concern at media reports that Russia is using land mines in its war in Ukraine.
She pointed to Human Rights Watch, which said on March 29 that Ukrainian explosive ordnance disposal technicians located banned anti-personnel mines in the eastern Kharkiv region a day earlier. The rights group said Russia is known to possess the type of mines that were discovered, but Ukraine doesn’t have them.
Arango Olmos said at a news conference Monday — the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action — that Ukraine is one of the 164 state parties to the convention, but Russia is not.
She said her appeal to Russia is: “Anti-personnel mines only cause victims, they don’t resolve any type of problem.”
“So please, Russians, please stop using it, because many of the people that are victims of land mines have nothing to do with what’s happening between Ukraine and Russia,” Arango Olmos said.
Prince Mired of Jordan, the special envoy trying to make the land-mine convention universal, said about 80% of the world’s nations are parties to the convention. He said 33 countries have not joined, among them some that may collectively hold tens of millions of anti-personnel mines in military warehouses and unfortunately have buried millions more in the ground.
Some countries that are not parties have “the power to significantly turn the tide and eliminate this horrendous weapon such as China, India, Pakistan, Russia and the United States,” he said. “A coordinated and concerted effort is needed at the highest level in order to achieve further accessions. This will not be easy, but it’s possible.”

A Deputy Minister of Health, Tina Mensah, has received 309,600 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines from the government of Japan through the COVAX facility to support Ghana's COVID-19 vaccination campaign.
Addressing a gathering during the donation, she thanked the government of Japan for supporting Ghana’s health sector through projects such as the UHC roadmap, expansion of CHPS in the five northern regions, the Maternal-Child Health Record Book project as well as Supporting Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR).
In a related development, the government of the United States of America has also announced a new $24.7-million support to Ghana, as part of the Covid-19 vaccine drive.
Speaking to the media during the donation, the Acting Mission Director, Janean Davis, explained that her country has already donated $9.6 million to Ghana to help in mobilisation for the Covid-19 vaccination exercise.
According to her, the American government had been working with the government of Ghana from the moment the pandemic hit, adding that it is about time they intensified their support with the $24.7million fund.
She stated that the support will be used to get more vaccines on time and also help secure vaccines for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
The representative of the Director of Public Health, Dr Charity Sarpong, said about four per cent of those who contracted the disease lost their lives, adding that it is the reason Ghana has to improve upon her vaccination regime and systems, especially among pregnant women.

Colleges across the U.S. are pulling students from study abroad programs in Russia, ending research partnerships and cutting financial ties as part of a global wave of condemnation over the invasion of Ukraine.
At the same time, colleges have promised to support Russian students on their campuses, opposing calls from a few in Congress to remove them from the country as a sanction against their homeland.
The moves are mostly symbolic — U.S. colleges have little power to sway Russia or squeeze its finances, and academic exchange between the nations has always been meager. But the suggestion that some or all Russian students should forfeit the opportunity to study here has drawn new attention to the role of universities in global disputes.
Last academic year, U.S. colleges hosted nearly 5,000 students from Russia, less than 1% of all international students. Advocates for international education say losing those students would forgo a chance to expose them to western ideals, and they say Russians who choose to study in America are already more likely to want change back home.
"Leaders need to make a distinction between Putin and Russian people who want a better life," said Jill Welch, a senior adviser for the Presidents' Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, a coalition of university presidents. "Sending anyone back wouldn't shorten any war by a day."
Schools have urged compassion for students from Russia
Many universities have called for compassion for students from Russia who, like those from Ukraine, may fear for the safety of family members or face sudden financial difficulty.
In a message to students, Columbia University's president said students from both countries face a "bewildering and uncertain road ahead."
At the University of Washington, President Ana Mari Cauce said the campus stands with Ukraine but "must also take care to not let the actions of Russia's authoritarian government affect our treatment of Russian students, scholars and community members who have no role in its policies."
Some in Congress have pushed for visa restrictions against Russian students. Speaking on CNN last month, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said the U.S. should consider "kicking every Russian student out of the United States" as a way to stir backlash against Vladimir Putin in Russia.
The idea has gained little support in Washington, but the White House later suggested that its separate sanctions against Russian oligarchs are partly intended to block access to U.S. universities.
"What we're talking about here is seizing their assets, seizing their yachts, and making it harder for them to send their children to colleges and universities in the West," press secretary Jen Psaki said last week while discussing the sanctions.
College leaders aren't fighting the idea that oligarchs and their children should lose access to American education. But wider action against Russian students would carry echoes of America's discrimination toward Japanese and German immigrants during World War II, advocates say.
"In our country, we do not punish children for the crimes of their parents," said Barbara Snyder, president of the Association of American Universities and a former president of Case Western Reserve University. "You have to think carefully about the consequences of targeting people because of their country of origin."
Study abroad programs shrank during the pandemic
For many colleges, the first priority has been to remove American students studying in Russia or Ukraine, although few are believed to have been there. A total of 1,400 Americans studied in those nations in 2018, and overall study abroad figures have plummeted during the pandemic.
Middlebury College in Vermont suspended a study abroad program in Russia at the end of February citing safety concerns, urging the 12 students to return home. Among them was Zavier Ridgley, who was studying in Moscow when he was told to book a flight home quickly.
The 22-year-old said he respects the decision but was disappointed. A senior at Tulane University, he had been trying to get into the Middlebury program since 2019, but it had been delayed by the pandemic.
"The month I've been here has been nothing short of the opportunity of a lifetime, and to have it cut so short so abruptly really is terribly sad," said Ridgley, who has since returned home.
Other schools have joined in barring student travel to Russia, and some including Dartmouth College have canceled upcoming study abroad programs. A growing number are also severing financial and academic ties as a rebuke of Putin, but the U.S. response has been more scattered compared with Europe, where nations including Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark have ordered colleges to freeze academic exchange with Russia.
Soon after the invasion began, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said it was ending its partnership with the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, a research university it helped found near Moscow in 2011. MIT officials called it a rejection of "the unacceptable military actions against Ukraine."
After Colorado Gov. Jared Polis urged universities to cut investments with Russia last week, the University of Colorado said it was divesting all holdings in the country, including $3.5 million in mutual funds.
Several states have told colleges to pull their investments from Russia
Several other states have also told colleges to pull investments, including Virginia, Ohio and Arizona.
Presidents of Arizona's public universities notified the state Monday that they were ending financial and academic ties with Russia in response to an order from the state's board of regents. Arizona State University announced it will part with a corporate training center in Moscow affiliated with its business school.
Other colleges are reviewing contracts or financial donations from Russian sources, but some had no plans to return the money or end deals.
Stanford University received $1.6 million through a contract with an undisclosed Russian source in December 2020, according to U.S. Education Department records. A university spokesperson said it's an agreement for online business courses and that Stanford is in "full compliance" with U.S. sanctions.
Last year, Rutgers University reported a new contract with Russia. The school said it's a deal with the Russian State University for the Humanities in Moscow for research and information exchange through November 2023. Officials said the agreement is currently inactive.

Late Stage VC-Backed Companies - Replit and Alto - Launch Community Round™ Campaigns
SAN FRANCISCO, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wefunder, a platform that helps founders raise a Community Round from their most passionate customers and fans alongside venture capitalists, announced today the launch of communityround.com, a place to showcase the venture funded startups that have successfully raised Community Rounds and those that are planning to.
Wefunder is leading the movement to mainstream Community Rounds for any startup that has, or wants, to build a strong community of supporters and evangelists. A Community Round is a funding round where anyone—including customers, users, community members, friends, and family can invest in a company for as little as $100.
Wefunder has played a foundational role in revolutionizing the impact and opportunities in the crowdfunding equity regulation market. Wefunder helped create the industry in 2012 and worked alongside Congress to pass new laws. Wefunder then worked to fundamentally change the startup financing landscape - creating a whole new marketplace for investments accessible to everyone. Starting in May of 2016, thanks to a new law called Regulation Crowdfunding, it became legal for everyone to invest small amounts of money in the startups they believed in. But it took until March 2021 for the laws to be reformed to be workable and attractive to all companies.
"One of the most powerful forces in the world is when someone believes in you and backs it up with a bit of their own money. Wefunder now allows that to happen at scale," said Nick Tommarello, CEO and Co-Founder of Wefunder. "It's a mark of prestige when a startup raises a Community Round. It's hard to build a business that your customers believe in so much that they actually want to invest their hard earned money in the company's success."
These venture-backed companies are raising a Community Round on Wefunder this month:
- Replit - the easiest place to start coding, build, deploy, and host apps, collaboratively. Replit's mission is to bring the next billion software creators online and has raised more than $120M in venture capital. Replit launched its Community Round on Wefunder in early April with over $5.7M reserved in less than 24 hrs1.
- Alto - is a self-directed IRA solution that enables individuals to invest their tax-advantaged retirement funds in alternative assets like startups, real estate, farmland, securitized wine and art, and crypto. Alto has raised $70.3M to date, including a recent Series B, and will be launching its forthcoming Community Round in alignment with its mission to make investing in private offerings accessible to everyone.
Nearly $442M has been raised on Wefunder to date, and more than half of that was in the last year due to the latest round of regulation improvements. There are now more than 1.4M investor accounts on Wefunder who have collectively backed over 1,800 founders, but unlike traditional [accredited] investors, Wefunder investors put in a median investment of $250. Companies are raising a Community Round because of the clear benefits of turning fans into investors.
"When a community of users loves a product so much they want to personally invest in it, that's great product validation. I support founders offering ownership opportunities to their community," said Andrew Chen, general partner at Andreessen Horowitz and investor in Replit, who just raised their Community Round.
With Wefunder, people can invest in the startup market for as little as $100. Wefunder is making it as easy as possible for founders to open up funding rounds to their community. Community Rounds are changing the future of investing; sharing ownership with customers and fans. To back the startup you love visit: wefunder.com and to learn more about Community Rounds visit communityround.com.
About Wefunder:
Wefunder is a platform that helps founders raise a Community Round from their most passionate customers and fans. Headquartered in San Francisco with a distributed team across the country, Wefunder has fundamentally changed the regulation crowdfunding space from the regulations to making it accessible to all at scale. Wefunder is a Public Benefit Corp, not only for its mission to fix capitalism, but because it's the way companies should be run. To learn more visit communityround.com or wefunder.com.

BERLIN (AP) — German prosecutors on Monday arrested a right-wing extremist over an arson attack on a home for asylum-seekers more than 30 years ago in which a Ghanaian man was killed.
Federal prosecutors said the suspect, a German citizen identified only as Peter S. in line with local privacy rules, is accused of murder, attempted murder and arson leading to death.
They said that, on the evening of Sept. 18, 1991, the suspect and far-right acquaintances discussed racist attacks in the eastern town of Hoyerswerda and agreed that they would approve of similar attacks in their own town, Saarlouis in western Germany.
After the bar where he met his acquaintances closed, prosecutors said, the suspect went to the residence for asylum-seekers, poured gasoline on the staircase and set it alight.
The fire spread quickly. A 27-year-old Ghanaian resident, Samuel Kofi Yeboah, suffered severe burns and smoke inhalation, and died hours later. Two other residents escaped the fire by jumping out of windows, leaving them with broken bones. The other 18 people living in the building escaped unhurt.
An initial investigation against persons unknown was dropped after local authorities couldn’t find a perpetrator. Years later, new evidence let to the investigation being reopened and being taken over by federal prosecutors, who handle national security cases in Germany.
The police chief in Saarland, a region on the French border, said he was relieved that the case now appears to have been solved but the police still have work to do to determine what went wrong in the probe.
“I apologize in the name of the state police leadership for the fact that shortcomings in the police’s work at the time evidently helped lead to the investigations being closed,” Norbert Rupp said in a statement.

Tire Nightmare: Will Beacon’s Latest Change Help Fix Road Conditions?
What's the top complaint about quality of life in the Hudson Valley?
It has to be a tie between road conditions and cell service. Ok fine, add New York City tourist traffic to the list too. The good news for Beacon residents is that one of these problems may start to see improvements sooner rather than later.
Road Conditions in the Hudson Valley
In my experience, the road conditions in Beacon mirror a lot of Hudson Valley towns: Perfectly drivable with some huge exceptions. I find the same thing on my drive home through the suburbs of Poughkeepsie as well as in my own town of Newburgh. But Beacon has something that Poughkeepsie and Newburgh don't: a new solution.
Potholes in Beacon, NY
"Road conditions" can be a pretty broad term, but the focus on the change in Beacon is centered specifically around potholes. The tire and rim-destroying eyesores have pushed Beacon's government to add a very special link to their website.
New Addition
If you visit the town of Beacon's website, you'll notice a new addition: the option to report a pothole. The link takes you to the following submission page that allows you to report a road rupture as soon as you see it.
How Does a Pothole Form?
Beacon isn't the first government to try and tackle New York's pothole problem. The New York Department of Transportation (NYDOT) has a tip line of its own, asking drivers to report issues by calling 1-800-POTHOLE (no, really). They also explain how potholes are created.
Precipitation and freezing temperatures - two things the Hudson Valley has in abundance. Here's to hoping Beacon's new solution is a helpful one. At least we're not alone. Check out these hazards below:

Elon Musk has wasted no time making his Twitter feature priorities clear after becoming its biggest shareholder yesterday. The Tesla CEO has polled his 80 million followers about whether they’d like to be able to edit their tweets after posting them. Twitter’s new CEO Parag Agrawal subsequently quote-tweeted Musk’s poll to say that “The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully.” The phrasing mirrors a similar tweet from Musk about free speech on March 25th, days after he acquired almost 10 percent of the company.
The so-called “edit button” has been one of the most commonly requested features of the social media platform. In an ideal world it would simply allow users to clean up typos after publishing their tweets, but critics claim the feature could be ripe for abuse, allowing users to substantially change the meaning of tweets after they’ve been shared across the platform. Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey said that the company would “probably never” add an edit button in an interview in early 2020.
Responding to his poll, Twitter user “Everyday Astronaut” suggested that the edit button only be available for a short time after first tweeting, and that edited tweets contain a link showing the edit made. In response Musk said, “that sounds reasonable.” Many other social media platforms already allow users to edit their posts, but as my colleague Casey Newton argued, none have seen this feature widely abused. Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth said Facebook had “solved” the edit button problem in response to Musk’s poll.
The poll comes days after Twitter’s official account said “we are working on an edit button,” but it made the statement on April Fool’s day (the most untrustworthy day of the year). However this week Twitter product lead Michael Sayman quote tweeted this apparent gag, and called it the company’s “official statement” on the feature.
Musk is technically a passive shareholder of Twitter. He disclosed his investment in a Schedule 13G filing, which is normally reserved for stakes that have not been acquired “with any purpose, or with the effect, of changing or influencing the control of the issuer,” according to Bloomberg’s Matt Levine. But the Wall Street Journal reports that Musk’s filing didn’t include the standard certification saying he doesn’t intend to influence the company, and that the Tesla CEO simply wrote “Not Applicable” instead.
Musk’s tweets do not instruct Twitter to add an edit button, but his poll (which as of this writing is 73.7 percent in favor) sends a pretty strong signal to Twitter about whether one should be added. “If the people vote overwhelmingly for something, it is at least *a* data point!” Musk wrote in a follow-up tweet, before calling crypto bots the “single most annoying problem” on the platform.
Whatever Musk’s intentions, Twitter’s CEO is clearly paying attention.

MADRID (AFP) - Carlo Ancelotti knows better than anyone how quickly things can change at Real Madrid.
After the sensational comeback against Paris Saint-Germain, Real were euphoric. They had defeated one of Europe's elite, humiliated an economic rival, neutralised Lionel Messi and, many believed, convinced Kylian Mbappe. They were about to win La Liga and suddenly looked contenders in the Champions League too.
Three weeks later, the advantage in the league is still intact thanks to a scruffy, albeit morale-boosting, 2-1 win over Celta Vigo on Saturday (April 2). But Ancelotti's credit has all-but evaporated.
Real were waiting until Tuesday to decide if their coach will be able to travel to the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea on Wednesday, after he tested positive for Covid-19 last week.
The outcome of the tie could decide if he continues as coach next season.
It says something about the weight of the Clasico fixture that eight months of largely impressive work can be almost entirely erased by one, disastrous, 90 minutes.
There has been criticism of Ancelotti - of Real's counter-attacking style, his lack of rotation and, in particular, the manner of the passive first-leg defeat by PSG - but a dominant position in La Liga had mostly kept the sceptics in check.
Losing 4-0 to Barcelona, though, at the Santiago Bernabeu, when Real could easily have shipped six or seven, has brought doubts to the fore, not least because that result served as a warning for what may be to come.
Barca, with a game in hand, are 12 points behind Real in the table but it is Xavi Hernandez's resurgent young side who are finishing the season as the strongest team in Spain.
For Ancelotti, the Clasico defeat means winning La Liga may no longer be enough. How they win the title, with eight games to go, and how they fare against Chelsea will now frame how the first year of Ancelotti's second tenure is viewed.
Real's president Florentino Perez met Ancelotti over the international break and while Perez reassured Ancelotti his future was secure, the need for talks was significant. When Ancelotti was sacked by Real in 2015, a year after winning the Champions League, he later admitted the moment he was told to meet Perez was when he first knew his days were numbered.
The Italian's arrival last summer was a surprise, for everyone, including Ancelotti himself and Perez. It was only a chance conversation between them that saw the idea floated and then quickly take shape.
"It's happened fast," Ancelotti said at his unveiling.
That contributed to the sense that this was a short-term appointment, one that could be curtailed without much fuss or financial penalty.
If there is a parting this summer, it is unlikely to be bitter. If the league title is won, both parties would consider it a success.
But Ancelotti's appointment was also perhaps a reflection of the market last summer, when there was a dearth of top coaches available.
Barcelona looked to replace Ronald Koeman but stuck with the Dutchman after finding nobody else was suitable. Manchester United continued with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Juventus turned back to Massimiliano Allegri.
This summer, there could be more persuasive options, with Mauricio Pochettino expected to part ways with PSG. Erik ten Hag may be prepared to leave Ajax Amsterdam and Raul Gonzalez, Real Madrid's legendary former striker, will have completed three years with the B team and could be ready to follow the path of Zinedine Zidane.
Depending on the ownership situation at Chelsea, perhaps even Thomas Tuchel could be lured.
Even if Chelsea's future is resolved and Tuchel reassured, his presence in this tie is awkward for Ancelotti, the German representing the type of younger, more progressive coach that Real have so far avoided but might need if they are to stay ahead of Xavi's Barcelona.
A positive showing should be enough to convince Perez that Ancelotti is worth a second season, especially with Mbappe expected to join in the summer.
Ancelotti has an enviable track record of getting the best out of top players. His work with Vinicius Junior, who currently plays in Mbappe's position, has been transformative.
But defeat would leave Ancelotti vulnerable, compounding the Clasico loss at a time when his critics are gathering ammunition. He will know there is no margin for error.

MADSION — A husband tells her wife to stop with her housework and sit down. If I sit, she tells him, I will weep.
That woman is the mother of storyteller Carol Birch, according to Jennifer Munro, who’s co-producing “Women Tell: Our Stories Through the Decades,” a storytelling series that will premiere with six accounts set in the 1920s at Madison’s historic East River Reading Room Sunday, April 10.
Munro, a decorated storyteller, said the series, which is co-produced with Denise Page, seeks to commemorate the evolution of women.
“These are true stories, not of historical personages, but of ordinary women whose lives might otherwise fall by the wayside,” she said.
In another story, set in 1927, the storyteller’s mother is 16. She desperately wants to go to library school. No, her father tells her. She will start work the next day at Sears. “That was it,” Munro said.
There’s also an account in that same year, Munro said, “of the exact opposite, of a young woman being told that no matter what you do, no matter the cost, you must get an education.” Another details a grandmother who suffered from mental illness and its effect on the rest of the family.
Storytelling, not to be confused with story reading, involves telling a story from memory without the aid of a book or written script, she said.
“We know when we listen to someone who’s a gifted speaker, speaking extemporaneously, how powerful that is, and what sort of impact it has on us personally,” she said.
The world of storytelling goes well beyond the Moth radio hour on NPR. “It’s been going on in this country for at least 50-odd years, with festivals all over the country and stories that are not only personal narratives, but also myths, legends, and fairytales,” Munro said.
“I think people have forgotten how lovely it is to be told a story,” she said. “If we’re lucky, we have fond memories of parents reading to us, and if we’re really lucky, telling us stories from their own experience.”
Focusing on the stories of women was intentional.
“Women’s voices have been marginalized, more so than men,” she said. “What I love about this series is that we’re reviving those forgotten moments from almost forgotten lives.”
The hope, she said, is that “the series will provide a platform for stories that would otherwise be lost forever.”

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A former Trump administration official now running for Congress in New Hampshire voted twice during the 2016 primary election season, potentially violating federal voting law and leaving him at odds with the Republican Party’s intense focus on “election integrity."
Matt Mowers, a leading Republican primary candidate looking to unseat Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas, cast an absentee ballot in New Hampshire's 2016 presidential primary, voting records show. At the time, Mowers served as the director of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's presidential campaign in the pivotal early voting state.
Four months later, after Christie's bid fizzled, Mowers cast another ballot in New Jersey's Republican presidential primary, using his parents' address to re-register in his home state, documents The Associated Press obtained through a public records request show.
Legal experts say Mowers' actions could violate a federal law that prohibits “voting more than once” in “any general, special, or primary election." That includes casting a ballot in separate jurisdictions “for an election to the same candidacy or office.” It also puts Mowers, who was a senior adviser in Donald Trump's administration and later held a State Department post, in an awkward spot at a time when much of his party has embraced the former president's lies about a stolen 2020 election and has pushed for restrictive new election laws.
The issue could have particular resonance in New Hampshire, where Republicans have long advocated for tighter voting rules to prevent short-term residents, namely college students, from participating in its first-in-the-nation presidential primary.
“What he has done is cast a vote in two different states for the election of a president, which on the face of it looks like he’s violated federal law,” said David Schultz, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School who specializes in election law. ”You get one bite at the voting apple."
Mowers' campaign declined to make him available for an interview. In a brief statement that did not address the double-voting, campaign spokesman John Corbett cited Mowers' work for Trump's 2016 campaign.
“Matt was proud to work for President Trump as the GOP establishment was working to undermine his nomination,” Corbett said. “Matt moved for work and was able to participate in the primary in support of President Trump and serve as a delegate at a critical time for the Republican Party and country.”
There is little chance Mowers could face prosecution. The statute of limitations has lapsed, and there is no record of anyone being prosecuted under this specific section of federal election law, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, which tracks the issue.
A separate New Hampshire law prohibits double-voting in two different states, but makes an exception if someone “legitimately moved his or her domicile.”
Mowers is just the latest former Trump administration official to draw scrutiny for potentially violating voting laws.
Mark Meadows, a former North Carolina congressman who served as Trump's chief of staff, was registered in two states and listed a mobile home he did not own — and may never have visited — as his legal residence weeks before casting a ballot in the 2020 election. North Carolina state officials are investigating.
Not everyone agrees Mowers' double-voting is a clear-cut case of voter fraud. For starters, it’s an undeveloped area of law. Any court would have to contend with complicated issues such as whether a primary could be viewed as a public election or as an event held by a private organization that is administered with government help.
“With the right set of facts, it could be construed as a violation, but it's just not at all obvious to me that it is,” said Steven Huefner, an Ohio State University law school professor who specializes in election law. “It is a pretty murky question.”
Charlie Spies, a longtime Republican election lawyer who contacted the AP at the request of Mowers' campaign, called the matter “silly." He said the double-voting was “at worst a gray area" of the law and “not the sort of issue anybody would spend time on.”
That may not matter in a congressional primary race that has drawn a half-dozen Republican candidates. Among them is former Trump White House assistant press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who has already attacked Mowers for being soft on the issue of "election integrity."
In September, after Mowers said President Joe Biden rightfully won the 2020 election, Leavitt said Mowers "rolled over and sided with Joe Biden and the Democrats by refusing to stand for election integrity."
Mowers' campaign called her criticism “fake news" at the time.
His own campaign website has leaned in on the issue, featuring a section dedicated to “election integrity." It states that new rules are needed to “provide every American citizen with the certainty that their vote counts.”
He also echoes the long-standing Republican criticism about out-of-state voters, endorsing an efforts by the state's legislature to make sure “only legal residents of New Hampshire are entitled to vote."
This isn't the first run Mowers, who is in his early 30s, has made for the seat, which is a top Republican target in the 2022 midterm elections. In 2020, he earned Trump's endorsement and won the Republican nomination before losing to Pappas by 5 percentage points.
This time could be different, though. Biden's flagging approval rating has made Republicans bullish on their prospects. And thanks to a once-in-a-decade redrawing of congressional districts, Republicans who now control the state legislature and governor's office, are poised to approve more advantageous maps.
Mowers promotes his time living in New Hampshire with his wife and young child. But he is not a native to the state, spending much of his life in New Jersey.
A graduate of Rutgers, he came up through New Jersey politics, working for Christie's gubernatorial administration, as well as Christie's reelection campaign. That led to an appearance in the 2016 “Bridgegate” trial, where Mowers testified about his unsuccessful attempts to prod a Democratic mayor to endorse Christie, which resulted in acts of retribution and ultimately two convictions of close Christie allies. Mowers was not accused of wrongdoing in the case.
He moved to New Hampshire in 2013 to take on a role as the executive director of the state Republican Party. He resumed working for Christie in 2015 to lay the groundwork for a presidential campaign.
After Christie's White House run, Mowers moved back to New Jersey, taking a job with the lobbying firm Mercury. He joined the Trump campaign in July 2016, and ultimately relocated to Washington after landing a spot in the administration.
He launched his first bid for Congress after leaving the White House.

A warehouse in Moldova is piled high with crates of red apples but for an industry reeling from war in neighbouring Ukraine, the sight is far from appetising.
The conflict has all but ended apple exports to Russia, traditionally the main buyer of produce from Moldova’s orchards.
“I don’t know what we are going to do with the apples that are left over,” admits grower Valeriu Matcovschi.
“There are too many for us to sell on the Moldovan market,” he says in the northern village of Bilicenii-Vechi.
In normal times, lorries would arrive at least five times a week to take his 2,000-tonne yearly harvest to Russia.
Now he is scrambling to find new customers.
In late March he sent a first shipment to Kuwait, but he had to slash his prices by a third and accommodate clients with different demands about which varieties of apple they will take.
“I hope I won’t have to start pulping the fruit. That would be a tragedy,” he says.
Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe. The former Soviet republic of around 2.6 million people is sandwiched between Ukraine and Romania.
– Desperate appeals –
Moldova is in a “difficult situation”, senior government official Dumitru Udrea told AFP.
More than 360,000 Ukrainians have fled into Moldova since the start of Russia’s invasion. The vast majority have travelled on elsewhere, but 90,000 have stayed.
Energy price hikes, already rising but now exacerbated by the war, could push inflation to 30 percent by the end of the year.
Udrea fears the effects of the war mean that “in 2022 we could see a recession of between three and 15 percent”.
The largely rural country, whose gross domestic product (GDP) is 0.4 percent that of Britain’s, was already struggling to recover from a string of political and economic crises.
These came on top of a 2014-15 banking scandal that led to the disappearance of around one billion dollars (911 million euros).
Responding to desperate appeals from Moldova — which formally asked to begin the process of joining the EU at the beginning of March — Germany, France and Romania are holding a donors’ conference in Berlin on Tuesday to help lighten the load.
Udrea says the government hopes for four billion euros from donors to boost energy security and protect Moldovans’ purchasing power.
Thanks in part to a 2014 association agreement with the EU — which drew the ire of Moscow — trade with countries to its west now accounts for more than 60 percent of Moldova’s total foreign trade.
– Ties to Russia –
But some traditional economic ties with Russia, Ukraine and Belarus have been less easy to replace.
“At first sight the share of exports to these countries — 15 percent — doesn’t seem huge but several sectors are very dependent on it, above all apple growers,” economist Adrian Lupusor, from the Expert-Grup think tank, told AFP.
Construction and agriculture are dependent on materials shipped from Russia and Ukraine. “Even if importers find suppliers elsewhere, the prices will be much higher,” Lupusor says.
Udrea says the war could also see a plunge in the vital remittances sent back to Moldova by the more than one million people who have emigrated over the past 20 years.
That stream of income is a lifeline for many who remain in the country and represents some 15 percent of GDP.
Lupusor says that some of the 300,000 or so Moldovans working in Russia may decide to come back, putting the labour market and social security system under fresh pressure.
Meanwhile in Bilicenii Vechi, as workers sort shiny apples and forklift trucks trundle around him, Matcovschi worries for the future of the 50 or so people he employs.
Asked about possible redundancies, he replies, “I dare not think about it.”
“I hope we’ll be able to hold out.”

“We’re working hard and as fast as we can with our contractors to make these improvements and I want to thank everyone in advance for their patience.

(Bloomberg) — Cyclical shares tied to the U.S. economy’s health including banks, homebuilders and transports are struggling against the broader stock market, a telltale sign that investors remain hesitant to pour money into riskier corners of the market, according to BTIG, a U.S. brokerage firm.
Most Read from Bloomberg
The S&P 500 Index has rebounded 8% since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. But sectors perceived as safer such as utilities and real estate have outperformed their cyclical counterparts this year, raising questions about the durability of the benchmark index’s latest rally as investors remain concerned about the trajectory of the global economy. In a note to clients called “Trouble Brewing Under The Hood,” BTIG said it maintains a cautious view broadly on U.S. equities.
“The late March rally broke the market’s downside momentum, but hasn’t thus far done enough to reverse it,” Jonathan Krinsky, chief market technician at BTIG, told clients. “The magnitude and velocity caused many bulls to declare the low is in, and while that could certainly be the case, when we look under the surface, the market is giving a pretty cautious message.”
The recent rally in utilities and REITs has occurred alongside a surge in Treasury yields. Last week, a key part of the yield curve inverted, with the U.S. two-year yield exceeding the 10-year for the first time since 2019. That has triggered worries of an eventual recession.
Investors who are hungry for yield tend to pour money into utilities and real estate in times of uncertainty because they typically pay higher dividends and have steady cash flow. Banks, however, have struggled during yield curve inversions since it can hinder their net interest margins since they’d be borrowing money at higher rates.
Read: Morgan Stanley’s Wilson Says ‘Bear Market Rally’ Is Now Over
In addition, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, which has climbed 4% in the past month, is testing support against the S&P 500 and is threatening to turn in a downtrend, Krinsky pointed out. Chip stocks, used in several hot areas of growth from data centers to artificial intelligence, were swept up in this year’s tech rout amid concerns over rising interest rates and supply shortages, but they have showed signs of demand recently. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has shed 14% in 2022.
To be sure, strategists at JPMorgan Chase & Co. think growth concerns are overblown and have called for more upside to stocks. BTIG’s cautious view on equities comes as Morgan Stanley said the recent rebound in the stock market will prove short-lived.

CJ McCollum scored 19 points, Brandon Ingram added 15, and Jaxson Hayes had 12 points and 10 rebounds to lead the ninth-place Pelicans (34-44), who missed an opportunity to clinch a play-in berth.
The Clippers took control by outscoring the Pelicans 29-13 in the second quarter to build a 22-point halftime lead.
The lead shrunk briefly to 19 points early in the third quarter, but Los Angeles extended it to 25 before holding a 92-71 lead at the end of the period.
New Orleans scored the first four points of the fourth quarter to pull within 17, but the Clippers scored the next six points.
The score was tied five times, and the lead changed hands five times in the first quarter, which ended with the Clippers holding a 37-31 lead after making all eight of their 3-point attempts.
Los Angeles scored the first four points of the second quarter to push the lead to double figures before Naji Marshall’s basket provided the Pelicans’ first points of the period.
The Clippers scored 12 straight points to take a 53-33 lead before Jonas Valanciunas’ basket ended the run.
The lead grew to 23 points twice, and Los Angeles went into halftime holding a 66-44 advantage.

Heatherwick Studio has been selected to design a tropical opera house for the island province of Hainan at the southernmost point of China, the studio's first opera house or music venue project. The design features three performance spaces: an opera house, a concert hall, and a theatre, that come together under a sweeping canopy referencing to the island’s unique geology.
The inspiration behind the design came from the volcanic landscape and the costumes, colours, and movement of Hainanese Opera. The structure was developed through intensive analysis and physical and immersive digital modelling, creating an architecture that responds to the local ecology and climate, and reduces energy consumption and costs while cooling the environment for visitors and performers.
The center will have capacity for approximately 3,800 people, combining spaces for arts, learning, rehearsals and performances. The venue will offer visitors a range of large-scale opera, ballet, and musicals to avant-garde drama, fashion, and immersive multimedia performances.
Many opera houses are cut off from their surroundings and only come to life when a performance is on. We wanted to create a space that is an extension of the city and will contribute to life on the street throughout the day. So the canopy shelters a mix of different spaces that form an open-air village, of which the halls are a part. It blends the formality of performance with the informality of island culture, making opera more accessible and offering everyone a space to meet whether you have a ticket or not. -- Eliot Postma, Partner and Group Leader at Heatherwick Studio
The design is a competition entry organized by Haikou Tourism & Culture Investment Holding Group. Construction of the main building is scheduled to begin towards the end of 2022.
Earlier this year, Heatherwick Studio proposed Leaf, a dynamic multi-leveled pier that promotes notions of "community spirit, activity, equality, play, and togetherness". The project will feature plant-covered platforms built on the Han River, and will offer visitors recreational and cultural spaces across a floating platform.

Special counsel John Durham wants to bring up the infamous Trump-Russia dossier and might even call its author Christopher Steele as a witness at the upcoming criminal trial of Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, according to court papers filed on Monday.
Two late-night filings from Sussmann and Durham provided the first indication that the special counsel plans to introduce Steele and his politically fraught dossier from 2016 into the case.
Sussmann was charged with lying in regard to a September 2016 meeting with a senior FBI official, where he provided a tip about strange cyberactivity between the Trump Organization and a major Russian bank. Prosecutors say Sussmann falsely denied providing the tip on behalf of a client -- and was really working for the Clinton campaign at the time. He has pleaded not guilty.
The new filings on Monday suggest that instead of narrowly focusing on Sussmann's alleged lie and the specific meeting where it allegedly occurred, Durham plans to describe at the trial how the Clinton campaign tried to dig up dirt about then-candidate Donald Trump and his ties to Russia.
Attorneys for Sussmann want the judge to block Durham from introducing evidence about the dossier at trial and to stop prosecutors from calling Steele as a witness at the trial next month.
"The Special Counsel should not be permitted to turn Mr. Sussmann's trial on a narrow false statement charge into a circus full of sideshows that will only fuel partisan fervor," the lawyers wrote, saying Steele's work has "no bearing" on the case and is "inflammatory and irrelevant."
Durham's prosecutors said in their own filing that they expect to bring up at trial an old Steele deposition about a meeting he had with Sussmann where they discussed the Trump-Russia cyber claims. Taken together, the filings indicate Durham may try to call Steele as a witness.
It's ultimately up to Judge Christopher Cooper of the DC District Court to decide how much information about Steele can come up at trial. He is also reviewing a motion from Sussmann to throw out the indictment altogether, citing legal flaws. Durham's team says their case is sound.
The Durham investigation has repeatedly faced criticism for trying to keep alive right-wing grievances about the Russia probe. Durham hasn't brought any cases alleging the widespread abuses by US intelligence or law enforcement agencies that are central to these grievances.
There's no indication in the 27-page indictment against Sussmann that he discussed the Steele dossier during his meeting in September 2016 with then-FBI general counsel James Baker, where Sussmann allegedly uttered the false statement that is the basis of his criminal charge.
However, Sussmann was working at the time for Perkins Coie, the law firm that was retained by the Clinton campaign and indirectly hired Steele to research the Trump-Russia relationship. And Sussmann met with Steele one month before he met Baker, but he didn't know that the dossier existed until after the 2016 election, according to Sussmann's previous testimony to Congress.
The Steele dossier contained explosive and salacious allegations about Trump, including unproven claims that his campaign worked closely with the Kremlin to defeat Clinton in 2016. But in the years since that election, a series of federal investigations and civil lawsuits have discredited many of Steele's central allegations and exposed the unreliability of his sources.
If Durham is allowed to bring up the dossier at trial, it would put a spotlight on the secretive efforts by Clinton allies to push the collusion narrative, which has become a hotly debated political topic. Trump denies wrongdoing and says the Democrats faked his ties to Russia, while many Democrats still believe Trump's dealings with Russia are a grave national security threat.
The FBI investigated Sussman's tip but didn't find any improper cyberlinks between the Trump Organization and the Moscow-based Alfa Bank. But related inquiries found substantial ties between Trump's orbit and Russians who were connected to the Kremlin's pro-Trump meddling efforts. The new filing now indicates that Sussmann's case will likely revisit some of this history.
Special counsel Robert Mueller spent two years investigating potential collusion in the 2016 election. His investigation did not establish a criminal conspiracy between Trump and Russia, but it uncovered dozens of contacts between Trump campaign associates and Russian agents.
For his part, Steele previously testified in a deposition as part of at least one civil lawsuit related to the dossier, met with Mueller's investigators, and gave written testimony to a Senate panel.

Dutch energy minister to outline plan to reduce Russian coal, oil, gas
- Country:
- Netherlands
Dutch imports of Russian oil and coal have fallen as a result of the war in Ukraine, the minister for climate and energy said on Tuesday, adding that he would outline the government's plan to further reduce Russian energy dependence later this month. In a letter to parliament, Rob Jetten said he was "calling on companies to limit the import of Russian oil and coal as much as possible".
Among major energy users in the Netherlands, Tata Steel has stopped using Russian coal, while Shell, which operates the Pernis oil refinery, Europe's largest, halted purchases of Russian crude in March. In 2021, coal throughput at Rotterdam Port was 24.5 million tonnes of coal, of which around 20% was from Russia.
Throughput at Amsterdam Port was 10.4 million tonnes of coal in 2021.

Paramount+ has revealed a slew of new U.K. originals ahead of its launch in the country this summer, including two adaptations of thriller novels.
The Ex-Wife, based on the novel of the same name by Jess Ryder, sees a woman’s perfect life turned upside down when her husband’s ex-wife refuses to leave her family alone. Céline Buckens (Showtrial) is set to star in the lead role.
The Ex-Wife is co-produced by Clapperboard Studios, BlackBox Multimedia and Night Train Media, with Night Train Media financing and handling worldwide distribution rights. The adaptation is written by Catherine Steadman, who will also serve as executive producer alongside Mike Benson for Clapperboard; Giuliano Papadia and Chiara Cardoso for BlackBox Multimedia; Olivia Pahl and Herbert Kloiber for Night Train Media; and Ryder.
The drama The Burning Girls is also on the slate. Based on CJ Tudor’s novel, The Burning Girls centers on Chapel Croft, a village haunted by a dark history. Five hundred years prior, protestant martyrs were betrayed and burned at the stake, including two young girls. Only thirty years ago, two teenage girls disappeared without a trace. When a female vicar and her daughter arrive with the hopes of a fresh start, they find anything but peace.
The Burning Girls adaptation is produced by Buccaneer Media (Marcella, Whitstable Pearl) in association with VIS. Richard Tulk-Hart, Tony Wood, CJ Tudor and Hans Rosenfeldt (Marcella, The Bridge) serve as executive producers. Rosenfeldt also serves as the lead writer, with Camilla Ahlgren (The Bridge) part of the writing team.
Paramount+ has greenlit a number of unscripted titles as well, including LA Hairdressers (w.t.), Fashion House (w.t.), Pervert: Catching the Strip Search Caller (w.t.) and Girl, Taken (w.t.).

Eco mob glue themselves to road outside oil terminal in Warwickshire on FIFTH day of chaos - as total arrested in UK fuel protests tops 275
- Activists from Just Stop Oil block critical oil facilities at Kingsbury oil terminal in Warwickshire
- 20 protesters are involved in today's action with group claiming five have been arrested so far
- Police have already arrested 275 people as fuel protests have caused havoc since last Friday
Activists from Just Stop Oil today blocked critical oil facilities for the fifth day in a row – with police having already arrested a total of 275 people as the series of fuel protests continue to cause havoc across the UK.
Some 20 protesters from the environmental organisation sat down in the road with banners at the gate to the Kingsbury oil terminal in Warwickshire this morning, which they said was causing tankers to be turned away.
The group claimed five people have been arrested, while those remaining were either glued to the road or locked on - and a roadblock was also established on a tanker route to and from the terminal near Junction 9 on the M42.
Warwickshire Police said today that a total of eight activists had been arrested, and this brings the UK total to 283.
Demonstrators from Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion have been working together to block access to oil terminals across England over the past four days, demanding that the Government stops new oil and gas projects.
They also claimed today that supporters of the group who had dug a secret network of tunnels at the Navigator Oil terminal in Thurrock, Essex, remained underground as part of the action despite going 60 hours with no food.
It comes as UK motorists continue to suffer at the pumps with petrol prices hitting record levels in recent weeks after Brent crude oil hit a high of $128 last month - up from lows of $19 seen at the peak of the pandemic.

Among the activists in Kingsbury today was Thalia Carr, 60, from Oxfordshire, who said: 'The IPCC said yesterday that nobody is taking action at the speed we need to avoid wars, starvation and billions of refugees which will be the inevitable result of a broken climate with multiple extreme weather events.
'How can that be? I'm sure it makes most people think, 'well it can't be that bad'. Unfortunately that's not true. It is that bad and no-one is doing anything on the scale and at the speed we need.
'Nothing I have tried so far has made a tiny bit of difference so I am forced to put my whole self out there and hope that the government will listen before it is too late.'
She was referring to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report released yesterday in which United Nations scientists called for an end to the fossil fuel age and warned immediate action was needed to curb dangerous climate change.
Claudia Penna Rojas, 24, a student activist, added: 'The UN Secretary General said yesterday that the world was on a fast track to climate disaster, so why then is the UK government planning to licence over 40 new oil fields?
'The reality is that everything good, all that we love, the lives of our children…are all at stake. The need for large-scale, radical civil resistance has never been more urgent. This is the fight for our lives and we all need to be a part of it. It's the only chance we've got.'
And Miranda Whelehan, 21, a student from Brighton, said: 'The government and the media sell us a lie that it is impossible to stop oil. We are told there is not enough money for renewables, whilst they drip more than one million pounds an hour into the overflowing pockets of UK oil companies.
'I do not want a future that is dependent on a resource that funds war, climate breakdown, and poverty. I want to live and I want others to have the future they deserve. And that is just not possible whilst we continue with oil.'
As of yesterday, police across the UK had arrested a total of 275 people in connection with the fuel protests - including activists who erected bamboo towers outside an oil terminal near London Heathrow Airport yesterday.
Essex Police said they had arrested 10 people yesterday following a number of demonstrations at fuel sites in the county on Friday.
The force added it had now arrested 172 people in total and it was 'continuing to engage with a small number of people remaining in situ'.
Yesterday, Extinction Rebellion said around 30 protesters returned to the Esso oil facility near Heathrow Airport at 4am, erecting a bamboo structure in front of its entrance.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said four people had been arrested, bringing the total number of arrests following protests in London and Staines to 18.
Warwickshire Police meanwhile said it had arrested 68 people for a range of alleged offences including criminal damage, obstructing a highway and public order offences after weekend protests at Kingsbury Oil Terminal.
West Midlands Police said 13 people had been arrested following a protest at a terminal in Tyburn, Birmingham on Sunday.
Hampshire Police said its figure stood at four arrests after demonstrations took place on Friday at Hythe Terminal in New Road in Hythe and at BP in Hamble Lane and Copse Lane.
Andrew Smith, from Extinction Rebellion, said following the Esso protest: 'We're here to say that climate action cannot wait. Right now, governments are choosing to exploit the crisis in Ukraine to hand out oil licences and continue the fossil fuel economy that's destroying us.
'The reality is, the UK public wants faster action on climate as the energy crisis hits. We know what is happening and what needs to be done - by acting in favour of corporate interest over the will of the people, the Government is showing contempt for the people who elected them.
YESTERDAY -- 30 protesters returned to the Esso oil facility near Heathrow Airport yesterday, erecting a bamboo structure
SUNDAY -- Police speak to activists from Just Stop Oil taking part in a blockade at the Kingsbury oil terminal in Warwickshire
SATURDAY -- Police officers work to free a Just Stop Oil activist involved in a blockade at the Titan Truck Park in Grays, Essex
LAST FRIDAY -- Activists from Just Stop Oil block the route of a tanker as they blockade the Esso Birmingham Fuel Terminal
'How long ago did our Prime Minister say Cop26 was our last chance to save humanity? And now they're sidelining climate policy once again. This is not living in reality.'
The group said further action is expected from this Saturday in London's Hyde Park.
A Government spokesman said: 'Any criminal activity will not be tolerated, and swift action is being taken by the police, preventing significant disruption to the public and industry.
'While we are working to drive down our use of expensive fossil fuels, there will continue to be ongoing demand for oil and gas over the coming decades while we transition to cheaper low-carbon energy.
'As the Business Secretary has said, turning off our domestic source of gas overnight would put energy security, British jobs and industries at risk, leaving us more dependent on foreign imports.'

The much-talked-about and much-awaited movie Chandramukhi based on Vishwas Patil’s novel of the same name has been a source of public interest for almost two years now. It is a romantic drama about an ambitious, shrewd politician and a beautiful dancer played by Amruta Khanvilkar.
With a little more than three weeks left for the film’s release, the song, Chandra, featuring the leading lady was released last week. The song was met with a humungous response from the public. Amruta’s dance has been widely appreciated by the Marathi audience. The song is making waves on social media. And now, in a new video, someone else has joined Amruta in a dance performance to the song Chandra.
It is none other than director Prasad Oak’s wife Manjiri Oak, who has made a dance video along with Amruta on the song and has posted it on her social media handle. Sharing the video, Manjiri wrote in the caption “Amruta, the magic of your dance is such that seeing you dance, even those who cannot dance will want to shake a leg. I am one of them. You and Ashish are magicians. You can make anybody dance”.

Prasad Oak commented on his wife’s dancing and said that he didn’t have words to appreciate her. Amruta also had a word of appreciation for Manjiri, who is an entrepreneur by profession. She has also worked with her husband Prasad Oak as an assistant director and is very active on social media.
Chandramukhi is scheduled for release on April 29. Akshay Bardapurkar, the head, and founder of Planet Marathi said about Chandramukhi, “We are dedicated to giving the public the best and hence we have built a great work of art for them. Working with Prasad Oak was a great opportunity for us”.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett said Monday that judges are not deciding cases to impose a “policy result,” but are making their best effort to determine what the law and the Constitution require.
In a nation splintered by partisanship and wracked by incivility, Barrett in remarks at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library appeared to acknowledge that expected court decisions on reproductive rights and gun control would be seen through a political lens and lead to division. She urged Americans to “read the opinion” and consider the court’s reasoning before making judgments about the outcome.
“Does (the decision) read like something that was purely results driven and designed to impose the policy preferences of the majority, or does this read like it actually is an honest effort and persuasive effort, even if one you ultimately don’t agree with, to determine what the Constitution and precedent requires?” she asked.
Americans should judge the court — or any federal court — by its reasoning, she said. “Is its reasoning that of a political or legislative body, or is its reasoning judicial?” she asked.
The program was briefly interrupted by a heckler. Barrett said afterward, “As a mother of seven, I am used to distractions and sometimes even outbursts,” which elicited a round of applause from the capacity crowd.
In a wide-ranging, 45-minute interview at the hilltop library, Barrett also spoke dubiously of introducing cameras to the high court, defended free speech rights and admitted she is a lousy basketball shot.
While she said she was not expressing an opinion on cameras in the courtroom, she added “people don’t behave the same when they know that there’s a camera there.”
Barrett’s appearance at the library — in Simi Valley, northwest of Los Angeles — came on the same day that Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney said they will vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court, bolstering bipartisan support for the first Black woman to be nominated.
Barrett was asked what advice she would have for a new justice.
“I think one of the difficult things that I experienced that I wasn’t really fully prepared for, was the shift into being a public figure,” she said. “Also, security is much different now. … We all have security details and that’s different.”
Barrett was nominated by then-President Donald Trump to fill the vacancy after the death of liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was confirmed without Democratic support in late October 2020 – just days before the election — in a deeply divided Senate, 52-48. Her approval by the Senate’s Republican majority cemented conservative control of the court.

Ukraine’s President Zelensky will appear before the UN Security Council today. He will be doing what he has been doing since the invasion started – plead for more help and show the atrocities Putin’s armed forces have committed against Ukrainians.

Santa Fe Literary Festival
Sandra Cisneros: ‘If I don’t write I can get sick’
“Some people go to meditation or the church. And when I write, that is my meditation, that’s my church, that’s my analyst.”
For some writers, writing is just part of the day job. But for Sandra Cisneros, the internationally celebrated author of House on Mango Street and Martita, I Remember You, writing is a matter of life and death.
“I found, especially when I went through severe depressions, it’s because I wasn’t writing,” Cisneros said. “I have gotten sick when I haven’t written in urgent times. I have nightmares, I have dreams. I always feel dreams are poems your body writes and you have to analyse them.”
In an interview with The Independent about her upcoming appearance in the Santa Fe Literary Festival, Cisneros talked about the joy of owning a house, the importance of gaining independence as a woman, and her favourite: writing.
“Some people go to meditation or the church. And when I write, that is my meditation, that’s my church, that’s my analyst, that’s my way of avoiding taking medications. It keeps my face clear,” Cisneros said.
There is a certain light that radiates from Cisneros. Everything around her is colourful: from her personality to her beloved house in San Antonio, which was painted a bright periwinkle purple. Even now, talking from her bed, her pillows are decorated with a bold floral embroidery.
But as upbeat as Cisneros is, she is also a master of grief, and knows how to turn it into art like few others. While some shy away from loss and hurt, Cisneros said these emotions, more than any others, drive her impulse to sit down and write. Her belief is that being happy you can always write about later. Grief, on the other hand, demands urgency.
“It’s like when the rug is on one side of the washing machine and you have to hear the buzzer and you’ve got to stop the machine and relocate whatever that’s locking this washing machine so it can function”, Cisneros said. “I think grief is like that for us; it really breaks our heart into such pain that there’s no way we can make it go forward until we attend to it.”
Cisneros always finds an unexpected way to explain things. It’s a talent she undoubtedly got from her mom, whose unique phrases appear repeatedly in Cisneros’ work.
After the massive success of The House on Mango Street, she was frequently asked if, and when, she would write a novel. And, even though she went on to write several, Cisneros is deeply passionate about poetry. Poets, she believes, are the truth tellers (“the opposite of a poet is a politician”), the brave ones, the authentic ones. Cisneros believes authenticity is one of the best qualities a writer can have.
“Before, I was trying to write like everybody else and I didn’t realise the real key is to write like nobody else. What is it that I know that nobody knows? What can I write about that nobody else can write about like me?”
And even though there are still economical and societal pressures that come with being a celebrated author, what compels Cisneros to write, even nowadays, is the passion for her craft.
“If you’re doing it for the wrong reasons, to get published, to get an award, or to buy a house, then you’re never going to be a great writer,” Cisneros says. “Great writing comes from writing from your heart and writing with love on behalf of those you love with no personal agenda. That’s what great writing is. That’s what I learned.”
The inaugural Santa Fe Literary Festival will be taking place between 20-23 May 2022. The four-day event is set to explore issues at a time of extraordinary change – in politics, race, immigration, the environment, and more. The Independent, as the event’s international media partner, will be providing coverage across each day of the festival as well as during the lead up with exclusive interviews with some of the headline authors.
