HAMILTON: A tearful Ross Taylor was given a standing ovation as the New Zealand great made an emotional farewell to international cricket on Monday after 16 years at the top.
The visiting Netherlands team gave the 38-year-old a guard of honour as he came out to bat at number four in the third one-day international at Seddon Park in Hamilton.
He was dismissed for 14, before the home side went on to win the match by a dominant 115 runs to sweep the series 3-0, with Taylor taking the final catch to wrap up victory in fitting fashion.
Taylor announced in December that the series against the Dutch would be his last hurrah.
With his children on one side and teammates on the other, Taylor was in tears before the match as the players lined up for the national anthems, in his 450th and final appearance for New Zealand.
The Seddon Park spectators rose to their feet and applauded generously as he came to the crease for the final time, and then again when he came out to field.
Taylor bowed out of Test cricket in style in January, taking the last Bangladesh wicket to ensure New Zealand won the second Test in Christchurch and drew the series.
Taylor has been a mainstay in the New Zealand batting order since making his debut in 2006, amassing a plethora of records and achievements.
Among them are a New Zealand record 7,683 Test runs and he also scored the most runs for the country in ODIs. He also made the highest Test score in Australia by a visiting player, 290 at Perth in 2015.

From April 2nd, approximately 1.6 billion Muslims around the world observed Ramadan - a month of spiritual rejuvenation, humility and togetherness, and the holiest month of the Muslim year. Whilst the fundamentals will remain the same for many of those observing Ramadan, each country has its own cultural nuances, as shown by new data from Spotify.
The rise of Nasheeds and Maher Zain
Audio and spirituality are intricately connected to provide inspiration, an outlet for expression or to create the right atmosphere for prayer and contemplation.
Last Ramadan, Spotify saw a 68% increase worldwide in streams in nasheeds (Islamic devotional songs or spiritual hymns) during April than the previous month. This trend is expected to continue this year and based on streams in March 2022, Egypt is streaming nasheeds more than any other Arab country followed by Morocco and Saudi Arabia.
There are also clear listening trends on Spotify that reflect how the Muslim community around the world embraces Ramadan. Lebanese-Swedish R&B singer Maher Zain was one of the most streamed artists with Ramadan-related songs last April. His song Ramadan - English version saw around a 1000% increase in the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Jordan during Ramadan last year followed by his song Ya Nabi Salam Alayka which witnessed a 311% increase in the United Arab Emirates alone.
Interestingly, Zain’s songs in different languages also appealed to different Muslim communities such as Assalamu Alayka - Arabic Version in France, UK, USA and Morocco and Neredesin - Turkish - Türkçe in Turkey, Germany and Indonesia. Whilst spiritual British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Sami Yusuf’s track You Came to Me - English trended in the US with a 260% increase in the same time frame.
A month defined by tranquillity on Spotify
Muslim communities globally are creating user-generated playlists of their favourite nasheed and spiritual music, with Ramadan related words such as zikir (remembrance), ilahi (divine), hati (heart) and doa (supplication) to share with friends and family to soundtrack the month.
A strong connection between Oud and the spirit of Ramadan
Each year, Spotify refreshes its dedicated Ramadan Destination offering content for every Ramadan moment throughout the day whether it’s nostalgic Ramadan songs, Oud soundscapes, or health and fitness podcasts.
Looking ahead to Ramadan this year, streams for Chill-oud have risen over 200% in March across the likes of Algeria, Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, UAE and even Germany. Ramadan Spirit, an Amdah and Anashid songs playlist, is also a popular playlist across multiple Arab countries such as Morocco, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and UAE. With families and friends gathering around their TVs to catch their favorite Ramadan series, it was not surprising to see Ramadan Series مسلسلات رمضان gaining momentum in the region and beyond.
Those observing Ramadan are also turning to podcasts for an audio journey of self-reflection during Ramadan. Spotify has curated a list of podcast recommendations for listeners around the Arab world - here is a top 10 list of must listen to podcasts this Ramadan:
- Juha
- Alsilah
- Wijdan by Osama bn Njifan
- Maida by Kiri
- Alrasol
- Arous Beirut Podcast
- 1001 Nights
- Sukoun
- Mahdoom
- Mindful Muslimah Speaks

The new season of Bridgerton is here and if you’re anything like us, you’re probably completely obsessed.
No, we don’t have the steamy scenes between the Duke and Daphne to get us hot under the collar this time, but there is still plenty to peak our interest (hello Anthony Bridgerton).
Everything about the style, romance and aesthetic of the hit Netflix show seems to be a source of inspiration at the moment, with people imitating regency fashion and styling their interiors based on the drama.
But would you take your love for the TV show as far as to name your child after one of the characters?
A new report from The Edit by Silver Cross has now revealed the most popular and unique Bridgerton inspired baby names – and some of them are seriously cute.
For parents-to-be, baby names are something that’s always on the mind, and with the release of the second season of Bridgerton, there’s a whole range of vintage, regal names which you may be adding to your list of potential monikers for your tot.
The new report reveals the popularity of Bridgerton character names over the last two decades, looking at data from right back in 1996 to the present day.
Though the first season of Bridgerton aired on Christmas Day 2020, the popularity of these names has harks back to long before the TV show ever hit our screens.
The most popular Bridgerton girls names
Regal baby girls’ names have been used on and off for many years, but how popular have they been over the last two decades?
Charlotte, inspired by the powerful and respected Queen Charlotte, has been a firm favourite over the last couple of decades, never dropping out of the top 30. With the popular name also being the pick of William and Kate for their baby girl back in 2015, the name is set to continue to climb high in the rankings over the next couple of years.
Some names, though once extremely popular, have over recent decades become distinctive and individual, as shown by the rankings.
Portia and Philipa, for example, inspired by the Featherington mother and daughter duo, have been rare picks for mothers over the last few decades, but experts tip that these names are set to climb once again due to the popularity of the show.
This season there are also the Sharma sisters – Kate and Edwina – with the former a more classic and always popular name, and the latter being more archaic and unique.
Top Bridgerton Girls names
- Charlotte
- Eloise
- Violet
- Penelope
- Genevieve
- Marina
- Daphne
- Portia
- Philipa
The most popular Bridgerton boys names
William, inspired by Will Mondrich, the boxer from season 1, tops the list with an average rank of 11.
Ever a favoured royal name, and with the birth of Prince William in 1982, it’s no surprise it’s held strong in the top 20 over recent years.
On the other end of the scale, a more unique name choice would be Colin, inspired by the sweet and soft natured Colin Bridgerton who won our hearts in season one. Whilst ranking on average 636th since 1996, the vintage name could be set to make a revival over the next year.
Top Bridgerton boys names
- William
- Henry
- Anthony
- Simon
- Benedict
- Gregory
- Archibald
- Colin

SEATTLE, April 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chinook Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: KDNY), the IgA Nephropathy Foundation and Komodo Health today announced an outreach initiative leveraging data and technology to drive awareness of Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy and engage key medical providers at nephrology practices across the U.S. On the heels of National Kidney Month in March, the collaboration will drive strategic, targeted medical outreach to nephrology care providers to better address the tremendous unmet patient need for this rare kidney disease. The initiative also raises awareness about the IgA nephropathy disease burden and ensures patients have access to optimal support and treatment options earlier in their journey.
IgA nephropathy is a serious progressive autoimmune disease in which galactose-deficient immunoglobulin A1 is recognized as a critical autoantigen to which IgA nephropathy patients develop circulating autoantibodies, resulting in the formation and deposition of immune complexes in the glomeruli of the kidney. This process initiates an inflammatory cascade that damages the glomeruli, resulting in protein and blood leaking into the urine, called proteinuria and hematuria, respectively. Ultimately the filtration function of the kidney is impaired, reducing the ability to remove waste products from the blood. As the disease progresses, these waste products accumulate and can result in potentially life-threatening complications that often lead to the need for dialysis or kidney transplant. Yet, few resources exist to help patients and caregivers optimally manage their disease earlier in its progression.
To better support early diagnosis and potentially slow disease progression, this effort will apply insights from Komodo’s Aperture software to drive strategic outreach and education to healthcare providers who are likely to encounter patients with IgA nephropathy. Komodo’s technology tracks disease burden trends using de-identified, real-world healthcare data for more than 330 million patients in the U.S. This comprehensive, longitudinal view into the healthcare system will allow the IgA Nephropathy Foundation to more effectively identify the providers and regions of the country most in need of outreach and education, arming them with resources that can optimize treatment options for people who have been diagnosed with this disease, including information about clinical trials.
“Through our collaborative efforts with the IgA Nephropathy Foundation as well as our work at Chinook developing atrasentan and BION-1301 for IgA nephropathy, we have learned that the patient journey can be daunting and isolating. Managing this condition is not only about the physical symptoms and signs that kidney function may be declining, but also about coping with the challenges, uncertainty and emotions that come with living with IgA nephropathy,” said Eric Dobmeier, president and chief executive officer of Chinook Therapeutics. “Our collaboration with the IgA Nephropathy Foundation and Komodo Health aims to address these obstacles, arming the patient and provider communities with important tools and connections to improve the diagnostic and treatment journey.”
It is these very challenges facing patients that serve as a driving force for the IgA Nephropathy Foundation in pursuing its mission.
“Although we are making strides, IgA nephropathy remains poorly understood and is often misdiagnosed,” said Bonnie Schneider, director and co-founder of the IgA Nephropathy Foundation. “Patients frequently don't know where to turn for support or tools to better manage their disease. The IgA Nephropathy Foundation is that caring community providing support, information and hope. With support from Chinook, we are working with Komodo’s clinical intelligence software, giving us a more comprehensive view of the U.S. healthcare landscape so we can pinpoint and engage with the right nephrology practices faster than ever before to provide them with vital resources for patients and caregivers.”
Research has previously shown that patients who actively participate in their care and understand their disease report higher levels of satisfaction with their care, are more likely to adhere to diagnostic and treatment plans, and generally feel more in control of their future health despite being faced with a serious disease. The technology and insights from Komodo Health will help the IgA Nephropathy Foundation better track and manage how they identify nephrologists across the U.S., with the goal of making it easier and faster to connect the IgA nephropathy patient community with appropriate healthcare providers, clinical researchers and patient support resources.
“Our goal is to reach patients with IgA nephropathy much earlier in their disease course, to ensure they are optimally treated and to slow declines in kidney function. It is also critical to connect them to others living with the condition and to ensure they have the tools to navigate living with kidney disease so that they don't feel alone,” said Jonathan Barratt, Ph.D., F.R.C.P, the Mayer professor of renal medicine at University of Leicester, honorary consultant nephrologist at Leicester General Hospital and co-chair of the atrasentan ALIGN Study steering committee. “It can be scary to find out you or a loved one has IgA nephropathy. Encouraging nephrologists to refer patients to the IgA Nephropathy Foundation for information and support is critically important as we want patients to understand their condition and feel better prepared to manage it over time.”
Though more clinical trials are becoming available for people living with IgA nephropathy, the disease remains misunderstood, and many patients share stories of misdiagnosis before finally obtaining the correct diagnosis and finding a nephrologist who is knowledgeable about the disease. The IgA Nephropathy Foundation helps patients navigate the important steps necessary to support their kidney health and manage the challenges of living with IgA nephropathy.
“This effort will help to educate clinicians and patients alike to improve quality of care,” said Web Sun, co-founder and president of Komodo Health. “In line with our mission, we’re honored to provide the technology resources necessary to help address the significant burden of disease facing patients with this rare disease.”

A MARTINEZ, HOST:
In Hungary, an estimated 90% of the media is believed to be under the influence of Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling party. And as the country prepares for an election on Sunday, Hungarian newspapers, radio and TV appear focused on getting Orban reelected. But as NPR's Rob Schmitz reports, one grassroots organization is distributing what it deems real news one mailbox at a time.
(SOUNDBITE OF DOG BARKING)
ROB SCHMITZ, BYLINE: It's a sound familiar to anyone who's delivered a newspaper. But here in the rural Hungarian town of Dunabogdany, it's not just the dogs who view this deliveryman with suspicion.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: (Non-English language spoken).
SCHMITZ: As Kornel Klopfstein is about to slip a leaflet into another mailbox, its owners tell him not to bother. They're not interested in politics. He slips it into their mailbox and moves on.
KORNEL KLOPFSTEIN: It says, I don't want any leaflet. But I'm going to put it anyways (laughter). So you know...
SCHMITZ: Klopfstein is the co-founder of Print-it-Yourself, a weekly newspaper printed on a single sheet of A4-sized paper that's distributed by thousands of volunteers throughout rural Hungary, where people's access to news is typically limited to government propaganda.
KLOPFSTEIN: We are distributing these leaflets to show them that there is another reality out there. There is actually other news, corruption cases or how the health care system is doing or how the economy's doing.
SCHMITZ: Print-it-Yourself - called Nyomtass Te Is in Hungarian - has been around for four years. They printed up more than a million copies for their latest edition. It's funded by private donors and foundations, including George Soros' Open Society. This week's edition carries stories about official corruption, the platform of the opposition candidate to Orban and tells people where to vote. The paper is inspired by the samizdat tradition from the 1980s, when dissidents printed, copied and distributed news to counter communist propaganda. Hungary media expert Miklos Haraszti (ph) says today's threat to independent media in Hungary is no different, but that what's most frightening to him is that this top-down media consolidation has happened inside what is supposed to be a liberal democracy.
MIKLOS HARASZTI: It's a country where you have parliament, where you have elections and where you have market forces. And nevertheless, they could turn the part of the media which they sponsor into a totalitarian propaganda model.
SCHMITZ: And that, says Haraszti, has erased a crucial forum for public debate.
HARASZTI: Two generations have now grown up without experiencing what debate, what parallel measurement of arguments means.
SCHMITZ: Print-it-Yourself co-founder Klopfstein says he's encouraged by a survey that found 10% of Print-it-Yourself recipients change their opinions after six weeks of reading his paper.
(CROSSTALK)
SCHMITZ: But that is not the case for Marika Varga (ph). Klopfstein just gave her a newspaper. And as she reads it, she provides pro-government counterpoints. Like everyone I talked to in this town, Varga says she'll vote for Orban's party because she believes he has improved the country's economy. I ask her what she thinks of Klopfstein's newspaper. She answers through an interpreter.
MARIKA VARGA, BYLINE: (Through interpreter) I'm sure there's people who like it.
SCHMITZ: Not a glowing review but a better reaction than that of the first man Klopfstein delivered his paper to.
He took your flyer. He ripped it up. And then he put it under the windshield wiper of the car that you arrived in.
KLOPFSTEIN: Yeah. I mean, it's quite shocking - right? - I mean, that people just see, like, a newspaper and it makes them so angry. I mean, sometimes - yeah - I'm like, wow.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: (Non-English language spoken).
SCHMITZ: As we ponder the ripped-up newspaper, the man comes out of his house and yells at Klopfstein.
KLOPFSTEIN: Oh. I'm going to be, like, in the war. I'm going to catch some bullet. That's what he says.
SCHMITZ: OK.
KLOPFSTEIN: Well, I'm not going to reply.
SCHMITZ: We get in the car with the man still yelling. Klopfstein shakes his head, sighs and says, this is Hungary in 2022.

ISLAMABAD: Expressing grave concerns at the recent political developments and ensuing constitutional crisis, the Free and Fair Election Network (Fafen) has identified multiple constitutional, legal and operational challenges to the conduct of an early election.
While the constitutionality of the measures leading to the dissolution of the National Assembly will be decided by the Supreme Court, Fafen hopes for a prompt decision by the apex court, which rightly took up the matter suo motu, as any delay will continue to accrue collateral issues arising out of the constitutional deadlock.
Public confusion and political divisions that have already arisen as a result can potentially translate into violent expression. Political parties have a great responsibility to manage their workers and make sure that political disagreements do not turn into violence especially ahead of an early election.
According to Fafen, an early election may not be a smooth process in view of several constitutional and legal complications. The most critical factor for the legitimacy of any election will be the completion of the Election Commission. The Commission Members from Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have yet to be appointed. The constitutional procedure for the appointment of members of the Commission after the dissolution of the National Assembly under a caretaker set-up remains unclear under Article 213 (2B), which requires the prime minister and the leader of the opposition to initiate the process in a specially formed committee comprising only senators.
Another concern is the constitutional and legal status of the current delimitation of National and provincial assembly seats since it was carried out on the basis of provisional results of the 2017 census.
The 25th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2017 through a proviso to Article 51 (5) of the Constitution provided for only a one-time exception to delimitations on the basis of provisional census results for GE-2018.
A fresh delimitation on the basis of the last preceding census officially published is, therefore, essential for the legality of future elections as per Section 17(2) of the Elections Act, 2017. However, the process of delimitation cannot be completed within three months as per the requirements of Chapter III of the Elections Act, 2017 and corresponding rules.
Similarly, confusion continues to shroud the practicality and enforcement of the recent amendments to the Elections Act, 2017 pertaining to the use of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and the facilitation of overseas Pakistanis to vote in their country of residence, which were passed by the Joint Sitting of the Parliament without the support of the opposition parties.
Fafen has always urged the need for electoral reforms through political consensus as majoritarian changes to election law always lead to challenges to the legitimacy of the election outcome and political stability.
Nevertheless, there is a need to grant representation to overseas Pakistanis as all political parties have made such commitments to the country’s diaspora in their election manifestoes. The under-registration of women on the electoral rolls is also one of the major issues that the Election Commission had started to successfully address through targeted campaigns.
While the ECP has been able to arrest the rising gender gap on the electoral rolls, there still are 11.37 million women who remain unregistered as voters.
In case the elections are called within three months, the electoral rolls will have to be frozen thirty days before the announcement of the election programme as per Section 39 of the Elections Act, thereby rendering millions of women voters disenfranchised.
Although ECP can employ powers under Sections 4(3) and 49 of the Elections Act to maximize voter registration, such efforts may not yield adequate results considering the scale of the gender gap on the electoral rolls in a short time.
Another challenge to early elections is the operational and logistical preparation by the ECP involving recruiting and training around one million polling staff, and printing, publishing and transportation of election materials as well as selection of locations for more than 10,000 polling stations that are to be established due to the addition of more than 15 million voters on the electoral rolls since GE-2018.
The quality of these critical electoral processes is vital to the integrity of any election. Fafen believes in the continuity of the democratic process as the only way to resolve the political disputes and disagreements particularly related to the country’s election system.
Even sincere efforts to correct the election system-related issues that are devoid of a larger political consensus will be counter-productive and will add to post-election political instability. Protecting the integrity of any future election is vital to strengthening democracy as well as ensuring the much-needed stability of political institutions that is critical to the country’s social and economic development.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — A group of Sri Lankan governing party lawmakers called Tuesday for the appointment of an interim government, warning that a failure to do so would lead to violence and anarchy, as demonstrators continued to demand the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa over the country’s worst economic crisis in decades.
The lawmakers urged the speaker of Parliament to lead discussions with all parties to select an interim prime minister with the support of a majority of legislators.
The largest opposition party, however, said it will not support any interim government and insisted that the president resign immediately.
“We must heed the voices in the streets. The government should go, starting from the president,” said Sajith Premadasa, leader of the United People’s Force, or SJB.
The SJB has 54 of Parliament’s 225 seats. The governing coalition controlled nearly 150 seats before the current crisis, but is believed to have lost the support of some lawmakers.
Sri Lanka’s Cabinet resigned Sunday night after thousands of people defied a state of emergency and curfew and joined street protests denouncing the government.
The president and his older brother, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, continue to hold onto power, despite their politically powerful family being the focus of public ire.
For several months, Sri Lankans have endured long lines to buy fuel, cooking gas, foods and medicine, most of which come from abroad. Shortages of hard currency have also hindered imports of raw materials for manufacturing and worsened inflation, which surged to 18.7% in March.
As oil prices soar during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the island nation’s fuel stocks are running out. Authorities have announced countrywide power cuts extending up to 7 1/2 hours a day because they can’t supply enough fuel to power generating stations.
Parliament met Tuesday for the first time since protests flared earlier this month.
“The first condition to solve this problem is that this government has to leave. In its place there should be an interim government,” said lawmaker Wimal Weerawansa, a former member of Rajapaksa’s Cabinet.
“We as members of the government and opposition have a responsibility to solve this problem. If not, there can be a bloodbath in this country,” said governing party lawmaker Wijayadasa Rajapakshe. “If that happens, you and all of us will be responsible.”
Both Weerawansa and Rajapakshe were elected on the governing party ticket but later opted to be independent of coalition instructions in voting.
During Tuesday’s session, nearly 40 governing coalition lawmakers said they would no longer vote according to coalition instructions, significantly weakening the government.
Lawmakers also asked the speaker on Tuesday to ensure their safety after irate protesters surrounded the homes of several governing party members on Monday shouting slogans and pelting stones.
Police barricaded the area around Parliament, where a small number of protesters had gathered holding placards.
President Rajapaksa has assumed emergency powers which give him wide authority to protect public order, suppress mutinies, riots or civil disturbances or for the maintenance of essential supplies. Under the decree, the president can authorize detentions, seizure of property and search of premises. He can also change or suspend any law except the constitution.
On Monday, Rajapaksa invited all parties to join a unity government to resolve the crisis, but the SJB immediately rejected the proposal.
The extent of Sri Lanka’s economic crisis became clear when it couldn’t pay for imports of basic supplies because of its huge debts and dwindling foreign reserves. The country’s usable reserves are said to be less than $400 million and it has nearly $7 billion in foreign debt obligations for this year alone.
The pandemic has dealt a heavy blow to an economy that depends heavily on tourism and trade, with the government estimating a loss of $14 billion over the last two years. The economy is estimated to have contracted by 1.5% in July-September 2021, according to the central bank.
The already dire economic crisis has deepened as oil prices have surged above $100 a barrel with the war in Ukraine. Vehicles are stranded with empty tanks, power cuts deprive students of study time for exams and shopping mall air conditioners are being switched off to conserve energy. Sri Lanka was already so short of hard currency that authorities ordered bans on imports of cars and fertilizer and appealed to the country’s expatriates to send money home to help restore its depleted foreign reserves.
Rajapaksa last month said his government was in talks with the International Monetary Fund and had turned to China and India for loans.
Two brothers of the president, Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa and Irrigation Minister Chamal Rajapaksa, were among the Cabinet members who resigned on Sunday, along with the prime minister’s son, Sports Minister Namal Rajapaksa. Those resignations were seen as the family’s effort to pacify public anger while retaining executive, defense and lawmaking powers.

More evictions link to higher crime rates in Rochester, Cornell University study shows
ROCHESTER, N.Y (WROC) — A new study shows zip codes across Rochester that have experienced the most evictions over the last five years have also seen the highest spikes in crime. A local non-profit argues this shows reform to better access to affordable housing in the city could reduce crime.
Cornell University gathered eviction filing data from the New York State Unified Court System from 2016 to 2021. Then studied crime trends in every Rochester zip code over that same timeframe. They found that almost in every area, the higher the evictions, the more crime took place .
For the past four years, Oscar Brewer has lived with his family off Clifford Ave. By working closely with people in economically challenging times while facing them himself, he’s seen firsthand how losing your home can lure people into trouble.
“What else are they going to do if they can’t go to work, can’t buy anything to eat, find a way to wash their clothes,” Brewer said. “Then a common person who’s never thought about breaking into homes, breaking into local business result to this.”
Research from Cornell University found that from 2016 to 2021 most zip codes in Rochester that had more evictions also saw the most crimes than communities with fewer evictions . Showing correlation to larger systemic problems like poverty, housing insecurity, and economic inequality. Leading people to crime.
“When they’re evicted, they’re more likely to lose their employment, they’re likely to experience more poverty, they’re going to have mental health issues, sometimes increase in drug abuse,” Ritti Singh, Communications Coordinator for City-Wide Tenants Union of Rochester, told us. “All of those things are factors that lead someone to turn to crime. Evictions correlate with every kind of crime.”
Earlier this year Oscar and his family were served an eviction they’re currently fighting in court. He explains that the possibility of being thrown onto the streets has a lot of stress spreading throughout his entire family.
“My five-year-old daughter looked at me and said Dad I don’t want to lose my toys,” Brewer said. “She came to me crying I don’t want to lose toys and the apartment. Mentally for my depression and anxiety that didn’t help out.”
The local Tenants Union argues these problems can be reduced severely if the city and state governments act.
“We could get that stability if the state passes good cause eviction protections keeping families in their homes safe and stable,” Singh stated.
Researchers from Cornell University analyzed trends from 2016 to 2021 by looking at homicides, violence, and property crimes using the Rochester Police Data portal. At the rate per-1,000 people. For a look at the entire study click here .
The Rochester zip codes at the top of the list for highest crime and evictions were the 14604 and 14614 communities.

Turning off the lights and closing the curtains isn't exactly a catchy, new sleep hygiene hack, but this common sense advice is gaining even more scientific credibility.
Many Americans sleep in a room that's punctuated with some form of artificial light — whether it's coming from a TV, a jumble of electronics or an intrusive streetlight.
New research suggests that one night of sleep with just a moderate amount of light may have adverse effects on cardiovascular and metabolic health.
"I was surprised that even this fairly, I would say, small amount of light just getting through the eyes to the brain still had such notable effect," says Dr. Phyllis Zee, senior author of the new study and director of the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine at Northwestern University.
The findings tie into a broader body of evidence that indicates being exposed to light at night may be harmful in a variety of ways and could predispose people to chronic diseases.
Physiological effects of light
The small, 20-person study conducted by Zee and her team at Northwestern was designed to measure the physiological effects of 100 lux of artificial light on healthy adults while they were sleeping.
"This is about enough light that you could maybe see your way around, but it's not enough light to really read comfortably," says Zee. For the study, all the participants spent their first night sleeping in a mostly dark room. The next night, half of them slept in a more illuminated room (the light was placed overhead).
Meanwhile, the researchers ran tests on the sleepers: they recorded their brainwaves, measured their heart rates and drew their blood every few hours, among other things. In the morning, they'd give both groups a big dose of sugar to see how well their systems responded to the spike.
The results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences this month, show several clear differences between the two groups.
Unlike those who spent both nights in the dark, the group exposed to the light had elevated heart rates throughout the night. They also had increased insulin resistance in the morning, meaning they had more trouble getting their blood sugar into a normal range.
Light can disrupt metabolism
Zee says there are multiple potential ways that being exposed to light at night could disturb our metabolism.
One possibility — supported by research — is that having the light on disrupts the quality of sleep, but surprisingly this study did not find that result while monitoring the people in the lighted room. In fact, the participants generally reported that they thought they slept fine.
The researchers also measured levels of melatonin, a hormone that helps with the timing of circadian rhythms and promotes sleep. Melatonin is typically suppressed during the day and rises at night.
Studies show artificial light at night can suppress melatonin levels, and scientists have found a link between the disruption of melatonin and several diseases, including cancer and diabetes. Though here, too, the study did not find evidence that melatonin levels were lower among the people sleeping with the light on.
"That probably means that the light level that was getting through the eyes was not really bright enough to suppress melatonin," says Zee.
However, Zee and her team believe that this small amount of light was enough to activate the sympathetic arm of the autonomic nervous system — what's responsible for the body's fight or flight response. This is supposed to cool down during sleep as the body moves into a parasympathetic state, when the body's heart rate and respiration decrease.
The changes in cardiovascular function suggest the small amount of light was enough to shift the nervous system to a more activated and alert state.
"It's almost like the brain and the heart knew that the lights were on, although the individual was sleeping," says Zee.
The study is an important example of how even relatively dim light exposure can be disruptive to our sleep-wake cycle, says Dr. Chris Colwell, whose lab at UCLA studies the mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms.
He says the findings makes sense because the autonomic nervous system has a robust daily rhythm.
"There's a lot of coordinated actions that have to occur in order for us to get a good night's sleep and the autonomic nervous system balance regulates that," says Colwell.
This effect on the nervous system wasn't "dramatic" — not as if the people were awake — but Colwell says it's still concerning: "You don't want that going on when you're trying to get a good night's sleep."
Increased risk of chronic illness
The study's findings that metabolic health suffered aren't entirely surprising.
Colwell notes there's already a solid pool of research, as well as large population studies, showing that disrupting circadian rhythms makes it harder to regulate blood glucose levels.
Some of these human studies have used a much brighter intensity of light — and not while people were actually sleeping. And while the findings of this study alone can't predict what would happen in the long term, Colwell suspects the harmful effects would be cumulative: "This was only one night, so imagine if you're living that way constantly?"
The body's "master clock," called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, is found in the brain, but organs and tissues throughout the body have their own cellular timekeeping devices. Cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin are one example. Disrupting the sleep-wake cycle can affect their ability to appropriately secrete insulin, which in turn controls blood sugar.
"That's going to increase the risk of chronic diseases like insulin resistance, diabetes and other cardiometabolic problems," says Dr. Charles Czeisler, chief of the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and a professor at Harvard Medical School.
For example, a large observational study of more than 40,000 women found that sleeping with a TV or light on was associated with a 17% increased risk of gaining 11 lbs over the course of five years.
Czeisler's own research has looked at the metabolic consequences of disruptions in circadian rhythms for longer than just one night.
In a recently published study, he and his colleagues conclude that the negative effects on metabolism observed in their study participants over the course of three weeks were primarily because of disruptions to circadian rhythms — not necessarily because of sleep deficiency.
"When we did not increase their exposure to artificial light at night, we did not see adverse effects of chronic sleep deficiency on glucose metabolism," he says.
This is not to say that sleep deficiency doesn't also have major adverse effects on health — it does — but he says it simply underscores the far-reaching consequences of being exposed to light at nighttime.
"People think that as long as they fall asleep and are unconscious, it's not having physiological effects, but that's simply not true," Czeisler says.

Serzh Sargsyan to attend opposition rally
YEREVAN, APRIL 5, ARMENPRESS. Third President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan will participate in the upcoming rally organized by opposition parties.
The rally is organized by the Hayastan and Pativ Unem opposition blocs of the Armenian parliament. It is scheduled to take place Tuesday evening in Freedom Square, Yerevan.
“The President of the Republican Party of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan will participate in the rally,” the Republican Party of Armenia Vice President Armen Ashotyan said in a statement. “He will participate not only as the leader of one of the organizing forces, not only as a person having enormous contributions for the freedom and security of Artsakh and Armenia, but also as a concerned citizen of the Republic of Armenia,” Ashotyan said.
Meanwhile, it is still unclear whether or not Second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan, the leader of the Hayastan bloc, will attend the rally. Kocharyan’s office told Sputnik Armenia that he’s being treated for a sports injury and that his participation would depend on his well-being.

Hiring a property management company is one of the best ways to take off the worry of dealing with your rental property. The main reason someone might hire a property management company is that they want their investment in the form of their home or multiple real estate properties to get the proper care without dealing with legalities, maintenance issues, and potential tenant conflicts. All these get very complicated at times.
Property managers can usually deal with many types of situations involving your tenants since they work directly with them. These skills can include screening tenants, negotiating rent rates, and handling all maintenance needs within or around your property. At the same time, they realize that local law enforcement and states have their rules and regulations about such things. Hence, they understand the need to comply with them to avoid facing any fines. Since not all property managers are equal, it’s essential to know what they will care for and what you will have to manage yourself. Here are some crucial insights.
Property promotions
They would make a walkthrough video of your home and write up a list of repairs and remodels that will help attract more tenants to your property. They can inform what items need upgrades, fixing, or replacement so your property looks move-in ready. They may also offer assistance with materials and technicians for optimum functionality at the lowest prices possible. With this, you can expect them to showcase your rental home to a target audience through videos, photos, blogs, and other means to speed up renting. The good ones can also recommend a reasonable rent rate for the locality to make your property more marketable, something you may not predict without proper research and worry about the high vacancy percentage.
Do you need help with your Santa Rosa property management? Don’t worry! Many local companies specializing in this domain are available. You only have to pick the one with a trusted background.
Accounting-related matters
Since rent collection tends to be one of the most painful tasks for landlords, the property managers assume this role on their behalf and ensure a smooth experience for their clients. They follow up with tenants to collect money on time and can charge late fees for the delay. Usually, they deduct their management fees and other costs from the monthly payment before transferring the final amount into your account. Since they provide a detailed view of all the charges, you know they are not abusing your money. If a tenant creates trouble by not paying, it becomes the company’s responsibility to evict them.
From bringing tenants to looking after repair and replacement to ensuring lower or no vacancy, a qualified property management company in Santa Rosa offers comprehensive services so you can focus on more income generation avenues. While they handle operational work, which requires time and energy, you expand your real estate business to create wealth. Undoubtedly, many benefits are there if you work with them. However, as said, you must select the best company only.

Dave Grohl’s 15-year-old daughter Violet sang at the MusiCares Person of the Year event on Friday.
The teenager took to the stage at the MGM Grand Marquee Ballroom in Las Vegas to honour the gala’s 2022 Person of the Year, Joni Mitchell, by performing a rendition of the singer-songwriter’s track Help Me.
Other performers during the event included John Legend, Billy Porter, Jon Batiste, Sara Bareilles, St. Vincent, Beck, and Chaka Khan.
Violet walked the red carpet with her mother, Jordyn Blum, and 12-year-old sister, Harper, with the three of them dressed entirely in black. The Foo Fighters rocker did not join them.
The family’s appearance at the pre-Grammys event comes shortly after Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins died on 25 March. The band cancelled their tour in the wake of his death and pulled out of their performance at the 2022 Grammy Awards on Sunday.
The group were awarded three prizes during the ceremony – Best Rock Performance for Making a Fire, Best Rock Song for Waiting on a War, and Best Rock Album for Medicine at Midnight.

Frank Lampard has confirmed Everton’s team news for their trip to Burnley tomorrow.
The Toffees have a huge clash against their relegation rivals at the bottom of the Premier League.
Everton are 17th in the table and can move seven points clear of the 19th-placed Clarets with a win at Turf Moor.
Everton were without a number of players for the 2-1 loss at West Ham last Sunday.
Nathan Patterson was due to make his Premier League debut after arriving from Rangers in January - but rolled his ankle on the eve of the game.
Now the Scotland international is due to have an operation later this week - and his season looks over.
Lampard said: “Nathan Patterson will be out for a certain period of time.
“He’s been down to see a specialist on his ankle and we’re looking at having a small operation later this week.
“He was due to make his debut, he knew that. He is frustrated but it’s easy as a slightly older man to tell him that he’s young and has so much time.
“The timing means he’ll have the summer to get over it and be fighting fit for the start of next season.
“We just have to accept it and Nathan does. He’ll get all the support in the short term and he’ll be back.
“Possibly [his season is over]. The diagnosis we have is it’s looking like a 8-10 week injury”.
Delph boost
Meanwhile, Fabian Delph will be back in the Everton squad, having not played for almost four months due to a thigh issue.
Seamus Coleman missed West Ham because of illness but will also be involved against Burnley.
Yerry Mina (quad) remains sidelined.
Lampard said: “Fabian Delph is back in the squad, which is good news. He’s been working hard for us.
“Yerry Mina isn’t fit yet.
“Seamus is better now having not been well and will be in the squad.
“Whether he can start will be one to keep an eye on in the next 24 hours.”
Donny van de Beek pulled up in the warm-up before West Ham and was forced to sit out.
The Manchester United loanee is ruled out of Burnley while he’s unable to play against his parent club at the weekend.
“Donny won’t be fit tomorrow. It’s a small grade thigh injury,” Lampard added.
“He can’t play against Manchester United anyway so he’ll be fit for our next game.”
Meanwhile Michael Keane and Allan and both suspended for Everton.

Calumet City woman killed, officer injured in police-involved shooting in Oak Forest, officials say
A Calumet City woman is dead and an officer is injured after a police-involved shooting in Oak Forest Sunday, according to officials. There were some very scary moments for shoppers at the Food4Less, where the incident escalated. Just before 11 a.m., Oak Forest police responded to the 6000 block of 159th Street for a possible motorist needing assistance. When they arrived, officers determined the driver was armed with a firearm, according to police. "A car pulled out of the Subway parking lot and t-boned her, and the lady got out of the car with her gun drawn," said witness Josh Graham. "The lady with the gun came out of the car lot right next to our vehicle and she basically looked right into my face. And I just went, no, not today -- I don't want to be carjacked or anything like that -- and the cops were right there with their tasers drawn." That driver was identified as 21-year-old Ketura Wilson of Calumet City, Illinois. Police were attempting to transport Wilson to a hospital for a mental health evaluation when she managed to escape, ending up in the parking lot of this Food4Less three-quarters of a mile away, Illinois State Police said. Officers followed her and attempted to negotiate, ISP added. "I was just doing my job pushing the carts and then about three squad cars pulled up and then, essentially put, they tried to taze her first because they apparently knew who she was," said witness Bryce Hartsfield. Witnesses said the shooting started outside, then moved into the store, sending shoppers fleeing towards a back room. "When they tased her, she pulled out her gun and then when she fired off shots, many rounds were pulled and they chased her into the grocery store and she was shooting them," Hartsfield described. "She ran into the store trying to get away from them, and she was firing off shots in there and they were firing off shots at her in there." RELATED: Southwest Side shooting leaves 2 critical; gunman killed by police after firing at officers: CPD "The yelling escalated even more. And then I just heard gunfire. I knew it was gunfire," said Jackie Human, who also witnessed the incident. A typical Sunday grocery run turned into an unforgettable one. "I was kind of dumbfounded that I'm in Food4Less, why am I hearing gunshots? And where are they coming from," Human said. "As I walked out with the officers, there was what I believed was an officer wounded on the ground in the produce area. He did look alive. He just look wounded." "I Have a five year old son in the car. My wife is in the car. I was pretty terrified. My initial thought was to get my family out of there," Graham added. Wilson and an Oak Forest police officer were both injured in the shootout and were both transported to area hospitals. The officer is in serious but stable condition, but Wilson has died from her injures, officials said. "You can't even go, do something as routine as your Sunday grocery shopping without having to worry whether you're going to go home," Human said. The incident is being investigated by the Illinois Public Integrity Task Force, as well as the Oak Forest Police Department. No other details were given at this time.

Afghan evacuees mark first US Ramadan with gratitude, agony
By GIOVANNA DELL’ORTO and MARIAM FAM
The Associated Press
LAS CRUCES, New Mexico (AP) — Afghan families evacuated to the United States when the Taliban regained power are celebrating the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. They are doing so with gratitude for their safety, but also the agony of knowing their relatives back home are still in harm’s way. Ramadan is a time of fasting, worship and togetherness with family and friends. But for those rebuilding their lives in the U.S., the holiday is bewildering and bittersweet knowing their loved ones are still under the repressive Taliban regime. Most fled because working with Americans during the war made them Taliban targets. But in the chaotic withdrawal, they left behind close-knit families and their cheerful, prayerful feasts.

(The Hill) — The Secret Service is spending more than $30,000 each month renting out a Malibu mansion in California to protect President Biden’s son Hunter Biden, according to a new report by ABC News.
Hunter Biden, who is under federal investigation for his foreign business dealings, has been staying in Malibu throughout his father’s presidency, spending $20,000 of his own wealth each month to rent out a mansion, according to the report. The Secret Service, the agency responsible for protecting the president and his family, spends even more money per month on a mansion nearby to protect him.
Sources told ABC News the Secret Service chose the mansion, where a team of agents live and work, to be as close as possible to Hunter Biden.
“Due to the need to maintain operational security, the U.S. Secret Service does not comment on the means, methods or resources to conduct our protective operations,” the Secret Service wrote to The Hill in an email when asked to confirm the report.
This report comes as the investigation into Hunter Biden intensifies.
His work in countries in Europe and Asia, but especially Ukraine, came under scrutiny during the 2020 presidential race and helped set off former President Trump’s first impeachment. Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to find information on Hunter Biden and Joe Biden in a phone call at the center of the controversy.
The U.S. government is looking into whether Hunter Biden violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
The White House has expressed confidence that Hunter Biden broke no laws.
In recent weeks, major news organizations also confirmed the authenticity of some of the emails found in Hunter Biden’s laptop, from 2009 to 2019, when he acted as a consultant to companies in China and Ukraine. Some of the emails included information about foreign business dealings. The laptop is now in possession of the FBI.
The high costs of protecting first families is not isolated to the Bidens. According to a new report by The Daily Beast, Secret Service spent $1.3 million on protection for President Trump and his family since they left the White House.
Republicans have gone on the attack again on Hunter Biden. GOP lawmakers in the House and Senate last week signaled they will push the government for more information on Hunter Biden’s doings, signaling a likely line of attack if they retake the House and Senate this fall.

Over 600 social media accounts of the central government were hacked in the last five years, Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur told the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.
Responding to a query on the hacking of government’s Twitter handles and e-mail accounts, the minister said since 2017, 641 such accounts have been hacked.
Altogether 175 accounts were hacked in 2017, 114 in 2018, 61 in 2019, 77 in 2020, 186 in 2021 and 28 so far this year, he said in a written reply.
Thakur said the information was made available by Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) to the Ministry of Electronics And Information Technology (MeitY).
Responding to the query on steps being taken by the government to prevent such intrusions in future, the minister said in order to enhance cyber security, CERT-In was set up.
It issues alerts and advisories about latest cyber threats and countermeasures on a regular basis to ensure safe use of digital technologies.
"CERT-In has issued 68 advisories for organizations and users for data security and mitigating fraudulent activities.”
"On observing compromise of websites/ e-mail/ Twitter accounts, CERT-In notifies the affected entities along with remedial actions to be taken. CERT-In coordinates incident response measures with affected entities, service providers, sectoral Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) as well as Law Enforcement Agencies,” the minister said.
CERT-In is operating an automated cyber threat exchange platform for proactively collecting, analysing and sharing tailored alerts with organisations across sectors for proactive threat mitigation actions by them.
He said security tips have been published for users to secure their desktop, mobile/smart phones and preventing phishing attacks.
"CERT-In has set up the National Cyber Coordination Centre (NCCC) to generate necessary situational awareness of existing and potential cyber security threats. Phase-I of NCCC is operational,” the minister said.

Man fired replica pistol into crowd in Corby pub beer garden in revenge attack
‘It looked like there was a gunman cycling towards them, firing at them, and they feared for their lives’
A man fired a starting pistol he’d painted to look like a real gun into a crowd of pub-goers which included children.
Jack James Sikora cycled calmly up to the pub before discharging the modified weapon. Drinkers sprinted away from the scene during the incident outside The Phoenix in Beanfield Avenue.
Then a group of men chased the ‘gunman’, brought him to the ground and wrenched the imitation firearm off him.
Northampton Crown Court was shown horrifying CCTV footage of the incident during a sentencing hearing on Friday (April 1).
His Honour Judge Rupert Mayo heard how the pub garden had been busy during the spring evening on April 17 last year.
Footage showed a boy holding a football while families enjoying the warm weather chatted outside.
But at just after 8pm, there was a scuffle between a group of men in their 20s – which included Sikora – and a second group in their 30s and 40s at the side of the pub.
It ended after a punch was landed and the groups split.
But Sikora, 20, went home, got changed into a jacket, balaclava and gloves and borrowed a friend’s bike. Minutes later, at 8.21pm, he slowly cycled into the car park from Beanfield Avenue with a starting pistol he’d bought on the internet, spray painted black, loaded with blanks.
Witnesses had later told police they’d heard the defendant shout an obscenity at the beer garden before get their attention, before firing the gun two or three times.
People in the garden got down on the ground or fled the scene. The young boy, still holding his football could be seen sprinting away from the pub.
In a witness statement, landlady Lorraine McKimmie said she had been shocked by the sound of gunfire and dropped the tray of drinks she was carrying.
"I was sick to the stomach,” she said.
"I was worried about my staff and customers.”
As Sikora, of Thoresby Court, cycled towards flats in Wedmore Court, the brave group of men who he’d earlier been in confrontation with ran towards him and he again pulled the Bruni Mod 92 8mm starting pistol from his waistband and began waving it around.
One of them punched Sikora and he fell to the ground, shouting ‘Give it a week and I’ll be back and you’ll be f***** getting it’. He was spitting blood from the cut on his face at the men who restrained him until officer PC Vince Bangs arrived on the scene and recovered the firearm.
After a trip to hospital, Sikora admitted the crimes in police interview and told officers the gun had originally been orange but he’d sprayed it to make it look more realistic.
He told officers he’d fired the weapon to scare those in the garden as revenge for the earlier incident.
In court, Sikora admitted possession of a firearm with intent to cause violence and of modifying an imitation firearm to make it look realistic.
In mitigation, the court heard Sikora had no previous convictions and had stayed out of trouble for the past year.
His barrister Jasvir Mann said: “This crosses the custody threshold by 100 miles.”
But he added that there was enough mitigation to keep his client out of jail.
"This is a young man who doesn’t need to go into immediate custody but he’s on a precipice,” he said.
"He’s come to court today with a trolley bag thinking the worst.
"These proceedings have had a salutary impact on the life of this young man.”
Judge Mayo said: “There were lots of folk around, including children.
"The response (to your actions) was fear because it looked like there was a gunman cycling towards them.. firing at them and they feared for their lives.
"You acknowledge that you were taking benzodiazepine and were drinking and your life had lost focus.
"I’ve no doubt what you did merits a custodial sentence, even though you have no previous convictions.
“People who fire guns into pub gardens go to prison.”
He said the starting point was two years in custody with a range of one to four years but because Sikora had pleaded guilty he would give him a 14 month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months. He will also have to undertake 30 rehabilitation requirement days and be subject to GPS monitoring for three months which will allow probation officers to see where he has been.
Judy Mayo added: “I want the people of Corby to understand just how serious firing a gun in a car park is.
"I am not responsible for your welfare but I have brought up four children and if you were one of mine I’d say the best thing you can do is to get a job or volunteer somewhere.
"Give it a try. It gives you some purpose in life.”
He said he will review the sentence in six months and ordered Sikora to appear before the court at that point so he can assess his progress.
The ownership of a starting pistol is not illegal, but altering it in order to make it fire real ammunition, or to make it look like it fires ammunition, is an offence. The model that Sikora was carrying can be bought online by over-18s for under £100 with no checks. It is marketed as being a ‘realistic’ replica of a Beretta M92 and having a ‘louder noise’ than other guns.

Kansas makes historic comeback, tops North Carolina 72-69 to win NCAA title
NEW ORLEANS - Best. Comeback. Ever. Sounds pretty good next to Rock Chalk, Jayhawk.
What looked like a lost cause turned into one of the sweetest wins ever for Kansas.
The Jayhawks brought their fourth NCAA title back to Allen Fieldhouse on Monday thanks to a second-half flurry that erased a 16-point deficit and eventually overcame North Carolina 72-69 in an epic battle of power programs.
It was the largest comeback in national championship history, surpassing the 1963 title game when Loyola overcame a 15-point deficit to beat Cincinnati at the buzzer, 60-58.
"We just locked in as a family, as a team, and that’s what we do," said Kansas big man David McCormack, after making last two baskets of the game. "We overcome the odds. We overcome adversity. We’re just built for this."
McCormack scored the go-ahead bucket from close range with 1:21 left, then another at the 22-second mark to put the Jayhawks ahead by three.
North Carolina missed its final four shots, including Caleb Love’s desperation 3 at the buzzer. His heave came up short after officials ruled that Kansas guard DaJuan Harris Jr., stepped out on an inbounds pass with 4.3 seconds left.
The Tar Heels went scoreless over the final 1:41. They couldn't find an answer for KU over the final 20 minutes.
"They were penetrating and doing whatever they wanted," Love said.
After McCormick’s go-ahead bucket, Love drove to the basket but his shot got blocked. North Carolina grabbed an offensive rebound and got the ball to Armando Bacot under the bucket. But he lost his footing and turned it over, then limped off the court, unable to return.
"I thought I really got the angle that I wanted and then I just rolled my ankle," Bacot said.
That put Brady Manek, not as good a defender, on McCormack, and the Kansas big man backed in Manek for the shot that put the Jayhawks ahead by three.
"When we had to have a basket, we went to Big Dave, and he delivered," said Kansas coach Bill Self, who has two of the program's four championships.
McCormack and Jalen Wilson led KU with 15 points each. Christian Braun scored 10 of his 12 in the second half and transfer Remy Martin had 11 of his 14 over the final 20 minutes. The Jayhawks outscored Carolina 47-29 in the second half.
"When we saw our own blood, we didn’t panic and we came out the second half coming in hot," Self said. "I was thinking at the 14-minute mark, ‘There’s no way these guys can play for 20 minutes defense like this,' but they did."
The Tar Heels shot 11 for 40 in the second half.
But it was Kansas that couldn't buy a basket late in the first half, as Carolina ran over and around the Jayhawks during a 16-0 run. The Tar Heels led 40-25 at the break. Then, top-seeded KU (34-6) started trapping and pressing more, moving the ball around on offense, and Carolina started getting a taste of what everyone else has this season: You can't stop 'em all.
The Jayhawks went on a 31-10 run to take a six-point lead at the 10-minute mark and set up a fantastic finish.
Bacot had 15 points and 15 rebounds to become the first player to record double-doubles in all six tournament games. He finished the season with 31 double-doubles, but it was not enough. Carolina was trying to join 1985 Villanova as only the second 8 seed to win March Madness.
Instead, the Tar Heels (29-10) fell one win short and dropped to 6-6 all-time in title games. This was their record 21st — and possibly most unlikely — trip to the Final Four. They made it to the final by beating Duke in a back-and-forth thriller and sending Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski into retirement.
"I can’t remember a time in my life where I should be disappointed," said rookie UNC coach Hubert Davis, who was trying to become the first person to lead a team to a title in his first full year as head coach. "But I am filled with so much pride."
A great season — but the banner will hang in Lawrence.
And McCormack, thanks to his late-game heroics, will go down in KU lore, along with Mario Chalmers (2008), Danny Manning (and the miracles in 1988) and the rest of the Kansas greats.
This title was three years in the making. KU was 28-3 and the odds-on favorite heading into March of 2020. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and stopped both the Jayhawks, and the season, in their tracks.

Seven players from that roster are on this one, as well. In some of their minds there were no "what-might-have-beens" about 2020 -- they knew they would have won it. They won this one instead, and showed, once again, it’s never good to count them out.
While this wasn't quite the 47-15 beatdown they put on Miami over the final 20 minutes in the Elite Eight, it was still darn impressive given the circumstances.
Ochai Agbaji, who was named the Final Four's most outstanding player, finished with 12 points and found breathing room after UNC’s lockdown guard, Leaky Black, got his fourth foul 6 minutes into the second half.
"This is a special group of guys," Agbaji said. "We’re going down in history. All I got to say is, ‘Rock Chalk, baby.’"

- Kieron PollardWest Indian cricketer
- Dwayne BravoWest Indian cricketer
West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard was the first pick of the 2022 men’s Hundred draft while Australia’s World Cup winners dominated the opening women’s selections.
The 34-year-old Pollard will join London Spirit after going for the highest possible price of £125,000 when the draft took place behind closed doors on Monday.
Pollard’s fellow West Indian stars Andre Russell and Dwayne Bravo were also snapped up for the maximum amount, the all-rounders joining Manchester Originals and Northern Superchargers respectively.
Spirit also splashed out £125k for England spinner Liam Dawson and £75k for Australian fast bowler Riley Meredith as they remodel their squad after finishing bottom of last season’s standings.
Dawson, part of the Southern Brave squad that won the inaugural Hundred title last season, said: “It’s an honour but I was surprised to be one of the first picks in the draft for the Hundred this year.”
Welsh Fire bolstered their batting with the signing of Joe Clarke for £125k.
A taste of what's to come this summer! 👀

Australia spinner Adam Zampa and South Africa batter David Miller will also be heading to Cardiff as overseas signings alongside Pakistan paceman Naseem Shah. Fire also re-signed Somerset batter Tom Banton.
“To be second pick in the Hundred draft is really quite something,” Clarke said. “I’m honoured that Welsh Fire have chosen me to join their side.
“We’ve got the makings of a great side and we want to be up the top of the table.”
Alongside Russell, the Originals also signed English white-ball specialist Laurie Evans and Sri Lanka spinner Wanindu Hasaranga.

Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz will be part of the overseas contingent at the Superchargers alongside Bravo.
Bravo said: “I’m really looking forward to joining the Northern Superchargers this summer. Last year’s competition turned a lot of heads so Sir Champions is excited to play the format and see the music and crowds for myself. Bring it on.”
Australian stars were in high demand in the women’s draft, with Spirit swooping for Beth Mooney and Megan Schutt just two days after they helped their country beat England in the World Cup final.
West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin topped the women’s pick for the Manchester Originals, going for £25k, having been at London Spirit previously.
England opener Tammy Beaumont made the switch from Spirit to Welsh Fire where she will be joined by Australian duo Rachael Haynes and Annabel Sutherland, the former having just finished as the second-highest run scorer at the World Cup.

West Indies’ Hayley Matthews completes the overseas contingent at Fire, with former England pair Fran Wilson and Alex Hartley also moving to Cardiff from Oval Invincibles and Manchester Originals respectively.
Jenny Gunn joined the Northern Superchargers, while the Originals signed Amy Satterthwaite to link up with the retained Sophie Ecclestone – the top-ranked limited-overs bowler in the women’s world rankings – and South African Lizelle Lee.
Oval Invincibles signed overseas players Sunil Narine, Rilee Rossouw and Hilton Cartwright, with Narine the headline pick at £125,000.
Trent Rockets brought in Tom Kohler-Cadmore from the Northern Superchargers and overseas player Colin Munro, who was previously with the Originals.
The Rockets also strongly bolstered their women’s squad with the signings of World Cup-winning Australia captain Meg Lanning and leg-spinner Alana King along with South Africa’s Mignon Du Preez.

Henderson's scoring outburst lifts Gamecocks to title
MINNEAPOLIS — (AP) — The smallest player on the court came up huge in the biggest moments for South Carolina.
UConn opened the fourth quarter with a quick basket to cut South Carolina’s lead to seven in the NCAA title game Sunday night. The Huskies, with a pedigree unmatched in women’s college basketball, were trying to overcome a huge size disadvantage that put them in a double-digit hole early in the game.
Then, 5-foot-7 Destanni Henderson stepped up — and buried them. And led the Gamecocks to a 64-49 victory.
South Carolina’s senior point guard followed the UConn bucket with a driving layup, slicing her way through the lane, using her slight frame to shield the ball from a defender as she approached the hoop.
On the next trip down the court, the Gamecocks' Aliyah Boston — the AP National Player of the Year — blocked a shot at the top of the key. Henderson sprinted behind the defense, hauled in Boston’s outlet pass, and made another layup — uncontested this time.
Later in the fourth quarter, Henderson scored again on consecutive possessions, with a long jump shot and another layup. The second basket pushed South Carolina’s lead to 16 with 4:18 to play, essentially ending the hopes of the Huskies, who didn’t get closer than 10 the rest of the way.
Henderson finished with a career-high 26 points, shooting 9 of 20 from the field as the Gamecocks won their second national title. She added four assists and helped hold Paige Bueckers to 14 points, teaming with junior Brea Beal to keep the UConn star in check most of the night.
“She was super aggressive on both sides of the basketball,” Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley said. “We started her off on Paige, and Plan B was to put a bigger body on her like Brea Beal, but we didn’t really have to do that because (Henderson) was super focused on making it really hard for her.”
Henderson provided a hint of things to come when she opened the game with a 3-pointer. She did it again to start the second quarter, then hit another 3 to put South Carolina up 30-12 just 12:25 into the game.
“I feel like my teammates just put me in a good position to score the basketball,” Henderson said. “I just found open gaps and when they collapsed in the paint, Aliyah or whoever it was passing the ball just found me out in the corner and I just let it fly.”
Many of her points proved to be timely. A 10-0 run late in the third quarter pulled UConn within 43-37. But Henderson scored the last three points of the quarter on a free throw and another coast-to-coast layup to restore order.
“She’s a quiet soul, a smooth operator,” Staley said. “She had a different look this tournament because she knew it was going to be her last tournament. So each and every game ... she was locked in.”

“I can’t even speak to the number of things that she’s accomplished, but she’s incredibly deserving to be part of Mortar Board,” Beckett said.
As the vice president of service for the 108 th class of Mortar Board, Beckett and her fellow members have collected more than 1,000 books as part of their service project Reading is Leading, but they still need more.
“What we decided to do was collect books for a local elementary school — it’s actually right behind OSU, it’s called Graham Elementary and Middle School (GEMS), and then we’re also donating to two different domestic violence shelters,” Beckett said of the group’s efforts.
Do you know your state’s signature drink? Find out Ohio’s hereMore than 35 active Mortar Board members have held fundraisers throughout the year to help raise awareness for its mission to increase literacy in central Ohio.
“The reason that we chose GEMS was because they had to sacrifice their library space due to COVID, so now those kids don’t have any books to take home and read and really advance their literacy skills, their creativity,” Beckett said.
She hopes by giving local children an opportunity to read various books, it might one day shape them into thriving leaders within the community.
“Having a lasting impact on a community that I’ve been a part of for four years, but then these books are going to benefit, you know, five, seven, ten years to come,” Beckett said.
Beckett said the group will be collecting books throughout the spring and it has started an Amazon wishlist with specific books for certain grade levels that still need to be donated.

Before acquiring DeVante Parker via trade from Miami, the New England Patriots had added just one outside player over the course of the offseason to bolster their offensive skill position group: free agent running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery was signed to a two-year, $3.6 million contract that does not guarantee him a spot on the roster.
However, it does give Montgomery an opportunity to carve out a role as a versatile and experienced member of New England’s offense capable of bolstering the depth at two different positions. That said, he does not come without his questions, and his injury history is one of them.
Injury history
2012 (Stanford): Coming off a solid freshman campaign at Stanford, Montgomery was dealing with a hand injury that forced him to miss parts of the school’s spring practices.
During the season, he suffered a knee injury in a win versus Arizona. The ailment kept him out for the next three games as well.
In his second game back from the knee ailment, Montgomery suffered a bruise. He did not miss any significant time because of the issue, however.
2013 (Stanford): During practices leading up to his junior campaign with the Cardinal, Montgomery was held out of one session after previously landing awkwardly. He did not miss any game time, but had to undergo shoulder surgery after the season. Whether or not there is a relation between the two is not known, however.
Montgomery proved himself a consistent playmaker in 2013, but he was unable to finish the biggest game of the season. A knee injury forced him to exit the Rose Bowl versus Michigan State in the early fourth quarter; Stanford ended up losing 24-20.
2014 (Stanford): A shoulder sprain suffered in late November versus Cal kept Montgomery out of two games. He was not able to dress versus UCLA and Maryland and therefore ended his college career on the sidelines.
2015 (Packers): Montgomery’s first training camp saw him suffer an undisclosed injury during an August training camp session. He later dealt with some hamstring tightness and was declared inactive for the preseason finale versus New Orleans.
In Week 6 versus the San Diego Chargers, Montgomery’s left ankle bent awkwardly and he had to be carted off the field. He was later placed on season-ending injured reserve because of the issue.
2016 (Packers): Coming off his season-ending ankle injury, Montgomery started the Packers’ 2016 training camp on the physically unable to perform list. He was later activated again, but was not given a 100 percent workload after his return.
During the regular season, a kidney-related ailment kept Montgomery out of Green Bay’s late-October game in Atlanta. He was held out for precautionary reasons, but one week later was cleared to take the field again.
In December, Montgomery hurt his shoulder in a game versus the Seattle Seahawks. He tested the shoulder on the sideline, and later was limited in practice due to the issue.
The regular season finale versus Detroit saw Montgomery suffer an apparent right ankle injury. However, no official status was announced and he was back in action the following week.
That very next game again saw him go down. Montgomery suffered a leg injury versus the New York Giants in the wild card playoff round, and had to be helped off the field. He missed several plays but returned late in the fourth quarter. He was not listed on the injury report the following week.
2017 (Packers): According to himself, Montgomery suffered a wrist injury versus Cincinnati in Week 3. He played through it, but the issue did not get better and required surgery in early December.
At that point, he was already on injured reserve. Montgomery had cracked some ribs five snaps into a late-September game versus the Chicago Bears, and was forced to sit out the following contest in Dallas. He did return a week later, but re-aggravated the issue in mid-November. The Packers subsequently sent him to injured reserve because of his ribs and wrist, ending his season.
2018 (Packers/Ravens): Montgomery suffered a foot injury in the first quarter of Green Bay’s exhibition game versus Oakland, and sat out the preseason finale a week later. However, he went through 2018 without any additional reported or announced injuries.
2019 (Jets): Montgomery’s first training camp as a member of the New York Jets saw him get hurt two separate times. In early August he injured his ankle, but was back the next day.
Later that same month, he limped off the field due to a potential groin injury. Montgomery played a limited role in the season opener, but it appears that the issue was not the reason for that.
In November versus Miami, he hurt his right knee but walked off under his own power. He ended up playing just two snaps that day, which was a season low but not significantly below his usual workload as a Jet.
Foot and hip issues forced Montgomery to head into a mid-December game versus Baltimore carrying the “questionable” tag. However, he was active and played a combined 20 snaps on offense and special teams.
2020 (Saints): Montgomery had an injury scare in the New Orleans Saints’ 2020 season opener versus Tampa Bay, staying down after a kickoff return. He left the field under his own power during the injury timeout and eventually returned to the contest.
Later that month, Montgomery suffered a hamstring injury in practice. The issue forced him to spend six weeks on injured reserve and miss additional time as well; in fact, he was bothered by the ailment for much of the season.
2021 (Saints): Montgomery’s second season with the Saints also saw him struggle with injuries. In mid-August, he was carted off at practice but returned the next day; he did miss the preseason finale, however.
In November, a hamstring ailment forced him to miss one game. He returned the following week versus the Tennessee Titans, but left just six snaps into that contest.
Montgomery had hurt his finger — an apparent left pinky dislocation — but was back on the field after a one-week absence.
In December, he tested positive for Covid-19. Montgomery spent a week on the league’s reserve list.
The following month, Montgomery struggled with back issues. He missed two practices due to a back injury and was questionable in Week 17 versus Carolina, playing just eight offensive snaps. His back also was an area of concern the following week in Atlanta, when he landed hard on an incomplete pass in the end zone.
What it means for the Patriots
Montgomery suffered his fair share of bumps and bruises during his time in college and the NFL, missing considerable time in three of his seven seasons as a pro. That said, there are no obvious medical red flags: his season-ending ankle and rib/wrist injuries were more freak accidents more than anything, while his hamstring issues are also not overly concerning.
Nonetheless, New England signed him to a low-risk contract. His two-year deal includes only $300,000 worth of guarantees, and is filled with play-time incentives and active roster bonuses: if he can stay healthy in both 2022 and 2023 and become a regular contributor, Montgomery will earn more than the deal’s base value of $3.6 million.

The global price of crude oil has surged due to the Russia-Ukraine war.
Those surveyed said they wanted the government to freeze the price of all necessities, not just cooking gas and NGV or LPG for taxis.
Street vendors told the reporters that they want the government to offer additional subsidies to low-income earners, while taxi drivers said the reduction of fuel prices was “too little”.
The government recently launched subsidies to help low-income earners for three months from May to July, including a discount on cooking gas and gas for vehicles.
Anusorn Thamajai, former dean of Rangsit University’s Economics Faculty, however, said three months was “too short” a period for the measures to make an actual difference. To have a palpable effect, he said, the measures should be extended for at least six months.
“The Russia-Ukraine war is expected to linger on, so immediate measures will only deal with the problem temporarily,” he said.
The academic also called on the government to update its database on people below the poverty line, so financial assistance goes to those who are actually affected.

While the promos of 'Runway 34' have intrigued the audiences, the first song ‘Mitra Re’ from the film, has been lapped up by music and film lovers with crossing 20 million views in just 3 days.
The song that was released on Ajay Devgn’s birthday is composed by Jasleen Royal and the lyrics are written by Aditya Sharma.
“The film has terrific highs and alarming lows, a sense of jubilation and dejection, and the music is a part of the narrative and the story-telling. ‘Mitra Re’ takes the story forward, but despite the turbulence you see on screen, the song has a beautiful, uplifting, quality which owes a lot to Arijit’s haunting voice quality and gives it a repeat value. I am not surprised that people have loved the song for its soulfulness,” asserts Ajay.
Jasleen, who had earlier sung the evergreen ‘Raatein’ for Ajay’s earlier directorial 'Shivaay' and more recently won hearts with Shershaah’s ‘Ranjha’, is equally excited about ‘Mitra Re’. “I am super thrilled to be a part of this epic project. We have got off to a flying start with the song already playing on the loop. And why not? A collaboration with Ajay sir and Arijit can only create magic and there’s more to come,” she promises.

NEW YORK (AP) — Author, playwright and longtime champion of multiculturalism Ishmael Reed is receiving a lifetime achievement award for his contributions to literature.
Reed is among this year's winners of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, given for work that “confronts racism and explores diversity," the Cleveland Foundation announced Tuesday. Percival Everett's novel “The Trees” won for fiction and Donika Kelly's “The Renunciations” was cited for poetry. Prizes for nonfiction were given to George Makari's “Of Fear and Strangers: A History of Xenophobia” and Tiya Miles' “All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley’s Sack, a Black Family Keepsake.”
“This year, we honor a satiric novel about lynching disguised as a detective story, a poetry collection that remakes the meanings of childhood abuse, an innovative look at the idea of xenophobia, and a story of recovered history based on an embroidered sack," jury chair Henry Louis Gates Jr. said in a statement. "All is capped by the lifetime achievement of Ishmael Reed, a genre-bending and genre-transcending colossus of literature.”
Philanthropist Edith Anisfield Wolf founded the prize in 1935. Previous winners include the Rev. Martin Luther KIng Jr., Toni Morrison and Nadine Gordimer.

Revolution II were victorious in their 2022 MLS Next Pro home opener on what was a special day for many involved.
Besides picking up the victory, Revs II hosted fans for the first time and two players scored their first professional goals.
Brazilian midfielder Michel was the first Revs II player to find the back of the net in front of fans.
“It was amazing because this is what I’ve been working for my whole life,” he said about scoring the goal. “And I’m glad, because I work so hard and I put myself in a position where I could make it happen.”
Michel also was able to complete 90.6 percent of his passes, was fouled three times, and played all 90 minutes in the 3-1 victory over Rochester New York FC.
“Michel worked very hard and has been eager to score, so I’m happy he finally got the monkey off his back,” head coach Clint Peay said after the victory.
The Brazilian wasn’t the only player who showed his skill. Sean O’Hearn scored on a beautiful free kick just before halftime.
“And then for Sean [O’Hearn], great free kick,” Peay added. “He’s always talked about how he should be the guy taking it and he proved himself correct.”
O’Hearn also added an assist to his tally on Sunday and is likely to get some more free kick opportunities after a beautiful goal.
“Well, I’m the one who thinks I should take it, but I’ve let Esmir [Barjraktarevic] and other people like Tico [Damian Rivera] take it in the past because they feel confident and I stepped up and I took it,” O’Hearn said. “It was a tall wall, like probably everyone in the wall is like 6-5 or 6-4. I just got it up over the wall and I was really excited to get my first goal on a free kick like that.”
Similar to the first team, Revs II heads into a bye week banged up. O’Hearn hopes that his teammates can get healthy during the break. Goalkeeper Yannik Oettl, Marzuq Puckerin, and defender Michael DeShields were all ruled out of Sunday’s match due to injury.
“Yeah, a lot of the guys have little knocks and injuries, so really the most important thing is getting healthy and just being ready to take it to the team we play next,” said O’Hearn.

“Face your fears.” “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” We throw these phrases around to encourage others to do what is difficult. Like most quotes and adages, they are as limited as they are universally used.
“Facing your fears” might help you climb a ladder to overcome your fear of heights, but it is a paper shield against a force of real fear, cancer. While slogans, hashtags, and cause bracelets feel good, they vanish when you’re left alone with the quietest, confident, and most effective killer we know, the Big C.
The Grim Reaper, the Bogeyman, and Freddy Krueger have nothing on cancer.
I’m not trying to be a fearmonger. Rather, I want more people to understand what a cancer patient, survivor, or caregiver might be feeling behind that strained smile and “fine” reply when you ask how they’re doing. Regardless of which of those categories your friend or family member is in, I guarantee cancer’s chilling fingers have grabbed hold of them.
It’s like hearing heeled shoes on a cobblestone road; the click-clack lets them know cancer is always close behind.
…
My wife Alicia was recently diagnosed with Hairy Cell Leukemia (HCL), a blood cancer. While HCL is not curable, it is treatable. The success rate for treating HCL through chemotherapy is exceptional. Neither my wife nor I believe that she will die from HCL. Nonetheless, cancer’s cold grip tightened on both of us.
The process to get to remission is brutal on the body, and in most cases, it’s a temporary relief. For the rest of their lives, HCL patients will look over their shoulders to see just how close that monster is following them. It’s like hearing heeled shoes on a cobblestone road; the click-clack lets them know cancer is always close behind.
That haunt is real for cancer survivors. Since becoming a cancer caregiver, I’ve had the opportunity to hear the stories of many affected by cancer. One friend in remission shared with me that he has panic attacks and sleepless nights because he knows cancer will come back (his is incurable). Another shared with me that she lives in fear until she hits the magic x number of years cancer-free mark her doctors gave her, which is supposed to provide her peace of mind. I think she doubts that. A caregiver told me he self-medicates most nights with mild sedatives to get sleep due to cancer anxiety.
I remember clearly when cancer’s fear grabbed me. It wasn’t the first time I was overcome with emotion regarding Alicia’s cancer. This was different. It came in the middle of the night, following a fun evening we shared with friends. It was a last hurrah of sorts before she began chemo.
In my thoughts, I saw Alicia. Floating around the party like she does, with her contagious smile as she randomly pulls people into her orbit and coaxes the best times out of wallflowers. She is full of life. Her always fashionable shoes seem to never make contact with the earth for too long. I love watching her from across the room.
I went to bed that night, smiling at those thoughts.
Then it happened. I woke up with a start. I couldn’t breathe. My chest felt like it was flattened by an anvil weighted with fear and sadness. I got up and walked to my desk, and I wrote everything I felt and saw. It was the darkest, saddest, most hopeless thing I’ve ever written.
In my thoughts and dreams, cancer taunted me. He showed me that he would snatch my love away. He held her smile, her laugh, her enthusiasm for life, hostage. He showed me her body battered by chemo poison; he showed me her lying in bed for a month, or longer, without the energy to get up, let alone paint smiles on the faces of strangers. Cancer showed me that he owned her body and soul, if only for a few months.
It gutted me. Cancer made me feel that I would lose my wife, lover, and best friend in a few days’ time.
I’ll try to describe the cancer fear in words. It’s cold. It’s still. It sucks your words right out of you. It’s not fast. It’s more like a smooth subway pickpocket. You’re riding along just fine, and then suddenly, without notice or noise, your security vanishes. It’s just gone.
The tears? They flow like water squeezed out of a sponge. No sobs or stuttering words because the fear took those too. Quietly.
I’ve been afraid plenty in my life. I’ve had a gun pointed in my face, I’ve nearly severed my thumb off, and I’ve been thrown like a rag doll by 12-foot swells while SCUBA diving. This was entirely different.
After the sponge wrung tears silently down my face, I shared my writing with Alicia. She looked me in the eyes as she never had before. She was scared, but she was more confident than me. In fact, she seemed oddly thankful. I realized that I had caught up with her. Cancer had already violated her in the same way, weeks ago. But now I understood the feel of the silent chill.
In that shared experience, Alicia knew she would never be alone in this fight. At that moment, I realized that I could admit my fear, even with just a look, and get back to my job — taking care of her.
Cancer is not one of those “nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror(s)” that FDR railed against in his famous speech. It’s real, and it lets you know it.
I know the fear I felt that day will never go away. Alicia and I will hear those heeled shoes click-clacking on our life’s cobblestone road. Sometimes softer, sometimes louder, sometimes slower, and sometimes faster.
That sound will never leave us. Cancer will subtly remind us that he lurks in the background with each questionable lab report, spot on our skin, or weird fever. He’s waiting to take one of us again.
Much like HCL, the cancer fear is not curable, but it is manageable. We manage the fear by respecting its power and knowing we never have to face that fear alone. We never have to feel misunderstood. Because there’s a club of us out there, a “Cancer Club,” who know the chill and the silence, and we’ve lived on anyway. This “Club” is the best defense and offense we have against that click-clacking incorrigible bastard. Even Freddy Kreuger thinks cancer’s an asshole.

New Delhi, Apr 4 (PTI) As several states have decided to end the mask mandate amid the declining COVID-19 cases, 90 per cent Indians believe that most people either do not have a mask or are not wearing it properly, a survey has found.
The survey was conducted by LocalCircles, a social media platform that raises people's voices.

According to LocalCircles, the survey received more than 30,000 responses from people residing in 349 districts of India.
The respondents were asked questions to understand "where things stand currently in regards to masking compliance as states remove the mask mandate".

As per the survey, 57 per cent of the respondents said that most of the people in their areas have a mask but don't wear it properly, while 22 per cent said that most have a mask but don't wear it at all.
As many as 11 per cent of the participants said, “Most don't even have a mask with them now”. Only 7 per cent respondents said that most have a mask and wear it properly, while 3 per cent did not have an opinion, the survey found.
Around 68 per cent of the respondents were men while 32 per cent were women, it said, adding that 48 per cent of the respondents were from tier 1, 31 per cent from tier 2 and 21 per cent from tier 3, 4 and rural districts.
Also, of those who are wearing masks, 66.67 per cent are wearing a “cloth mask” which provides limited protection from the viral infection, the survey showed.
Several states, including Delhi, Haryana, Telangana and Maharashtra, have lifted COVID-19 restrictions and made use of face masks optional in public places in view of the decline in COVID-19 cases across the country.
As per the survey, the compliance is very low already and such mandates issued by some state governments could lead to masking becoming an exception rather than the norm.

Mumbai, Apr 5 (PTI) A special court here has sentenced a man to 25 years of rigorous imprisonment for repeatedly raping his minor daughter and lauded the girl's grandmother for seeking justice.

Special judge Bharti Kale last week found the accused guilty of an offence committed under the relevant provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The detailed order was made available on Tuesday.

The victim was living with her grandparents, father, uncle and two siblings, as her mother had left the accused seven years before the incident due to family dispute.
The complaint was lodged by the victim's grandmother after she came to know about the incident.
“The victim's grandmother needs to be commended for seeking justice even though she will be required to look after the children of the accused at such old age,” the court observed, in its order.
Further, the judge said a father lays a foundation of security, trust and love. He makes his daughter's life safe and protects her from getting hurt.
“But the victim's father himself has caused immeasurable pain to her. The childhood trauma is bound to affect the victim. The court is confident that she will cope with the same with the help and guidance from various agencies established under the POCSO Act,” the court said.
It noted that the accused does not deserve much leniency, as the offence committed by him “is heinous which affects the fabric of life”.
The advocate for the accused submitted in court that the man had stopped his daughter from playing and talking to the boys. Hence, there were frequent quarrels between her and the accused, who has been falsely implicated.
Further, the incident as narrated by the victim is highly improbable, as about seven to eight persons were staying in a 10' x 10' room, he argued.
The court, however, held that the accused himself had not entered into the witness box, nor did he give any reason as to why his daughter and mother were deposing against him.
The victim has categorically deposed that she was not in relationship with any man. Therefore, the defence of the accused that he has been falsely implicated due to the affair of the victim is not proven through probable evidence on record, the court said.
The court further said that the incident occurred when the victim was sleeping in 10' x 10' room with her grandmother, siblings and the accused. If the victim had shouted then such heinous acts would have been averted.
The victim's failure to raise her voice is mainly for the reason that there is fear in the minds of children that if a close relative commits such an act then what will happen to their life. This kind of fear is real when the children are not protected in their own house and they are afraid of the outside world, the court observed.

US stock futures are down 0.2% after a solid day yesterday. Nasdaq futures are 0.3% lower.
This is an ominous warning from Bank of America: "We are in the late-stages of a short-cover-rally as the implied vol spike in heavily-shorted names has started to fade."
The weekly Nasdaq chart shows it's nearing the 61.8% retracement of the Dec-March fall.

NEW YORK (AP) — When a scrappy group of former and current warehouse workers on Staten Island, New York went head-to-head with Amazon in a union election, many compared it to a David and Goliath battle.
David won. And the stunning upset on Friday brought sudden exposure to the organizers and worker advocates who realized victory for the nascent Amazon Labor Union when so many other more established labor groups had failed before them, including most recently in Bessemer, Alabama.
Initial results in that election show the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union down by 118 votes, with the majority of Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer rejecting a bid to form a union. The final outcome is still up in the air with 416 outstanding challenged ballots hanging in the balance. A hearing to review the ballots is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
Chris Smalls, a fired Amazon worker who heads the ALU, has been critical of the RWDSU’s campaign, saying it didn’t have enough local support. Instead, he chose an independent path, believing workers organizing themselves would be more effective and undercut Amazon’s narrative that “third party” groups were driving union efforts.
“They were not perceived as outsiders, so that’s important,” said Ruth Milkman, a sociologist of labor and labor movements at the City University of New York.
While the odds were stacked against both union drives, with organizers facing off against a deep-pocketed retailer with an uninterrupted track record of keeping unions out of its U.S. operations, ALU was decidedly underfunded and understaffed compared with the RWDSU. Smalls said as of early March, ALU had raised and spent about $100,000 and was operating on a week-to-week budget. The group doesn’t have its own office space, and was relying on community groups and two unions to lend a hand. Legal help came from a lawyer offering pro-bono assistance.
Meanwhile, Amazon exercised all its might to fend off the organizing efforts, routinely holding mandatory meetings with workers to argue why unions are a bad idea. In a filing released last week, the company disclosed it spent about $4.2 million last year on labor consultants, who organizers say Amazon hired to persuade workers not to unionize.
Outmatched financially, Smalls and others relied on their ability to reach workers more personally by making TikTok videos, giving out free marijuana and holding barbecues and cookouts. A few weeks before the election, Smalls’ aunt cooked up soul food for a union potluck, including macaroni and cheese, collard greens, ham and baked chicken. Another pro-union worker got her neighbor to prepare Jollof rice, a West African dish organizers believed would help them make inroads with immigrant employees at the warehouse.
Kate Andrias, professor of law at Columbia University and an expert in labor law, noted a successful union — whether it is local or national — always has to be built by the workers themselves.
“This was a clearer illustration of this," Andrias said. "The workers did this on their own.”
Amazon's own missteps may have also contributed to the election outcome on Staten Island. Bert Flickinger III, a managing director at the consulting firm Strategic Resource Group, said derogatory comments by a company executive leaked from an internal meeting calling Smalls “not smart or articulate” and wanting to make him “the face of the entire union/organizing movement” backfired.
“It came out as condescending and it helped to galvanize workers,” said Flickinger, who consults with big labor unions.
In another example, Smalls and two organizers were arrested in February after authorities got a complaint about him trespassing at the Staten Island warehouse. The ALU used the arrests to its advantage days before the union election, teaming up with an art collective to project “THEY ARRESTED YOUR CO-WORKERS” in white letters on top of the warehouse. “THEY FIRED SOMEONE YOU KNOW,” another projection said.
“A lot of workers that were on the fence, or even against the union, flipped because of that situation,” Smalls said.
Experts note it’s difficult to know how much of ALU’s grassroots nature contributed to its victory when compared with the RWDSU. Unlike New York, Alabama is a right-to-work state that prohibits a company and a union from signing a contract that requires workers to pay dues to the union that represents them.
There was also a grassroots element to the union drive in Bessemer, which began when a group of Amazon workers there approached the RWDSU about organizing.
At a virtual press conference Thursday held by the RWDSU following the preliminary results in Alabama, president Stuart Appelbaum said he believed the election in New York benefited because it was held in a union-friendly state and Amazon workers on Staten Island voted in person, not by mail as was done in Alabama.
Despite some friction between the two labor groups in the leadup to the elections, both have adopted a friendlier public relationship in the past few days. Appelbaum praised Smalls during Thursday's press conference, calling him a “charismatic, smart, dedicated leader.” Likewise, Smalls offered the RWDSU words of encouragement after their initial election loss.
For now, ALU is focusing on its win. Organizers say Amazon workers from more than 20 states have reached out to them to ask about organizing their warehouses. But they have their hands full with their own warehouse, and a neighboring facility slated to have a separate union election later this month.
Organizers are also preparing for a challenging negotiation process for a labor contract. The group has demanded Amazon officials to come to the table in early May. But experts say the retail giant, which has signaled plans to challenge the election results, will likely drag its feet.
“The number one thing is going to be fighting for the contract,” Smalls said. “We have to start that process right away because we know the longer drawn out the contract is, workers will lose hope and interest.”
Meanwhile, some workers are waiting to see what happens.
Tinea Greenway, a warehouse worker from Brooklyn, said before the election, she felt pressured by the messages she kept hearing both from Amazon and ALU organizers, and just wanted to make the decision herself. When the time came, she voted against the union because of a bad experience she’s had in the past with another union who she says didn’t fight for her.
“They won,” she said of the ALU. “So let’s see if they live up to the agreement of what they said they were going to do.”

Jet2 couple's 'disaster' honeymoon over exploding fuse at apartment
A COUPLE had a "disaster" honeymoon after a fire broke out at their apartment in Fuerteventura.
Clare and Andrew Carr say Jet2, with which they booked the break, refused to take responsibility for the ruined trip and have ignored requests to send an up-to-date fire certificate to cover the apartment's safety. Clare, 46, was alone in the apartment, as Andrew had popped to the shops, when the fuse box suddenly exploded.
Staff rushed to help Clare past the burning fuse box and out of the apartment, but she needed two lots of medication and three days of nebulisers for bronchitis.
A spokesperson for Jet2 says staff "did all they could" to support the couple including "arranging medical assistance" and "assisting them in moving rooms."
But Clare, a former safety marshal, had to visit a medical centre, which she says was doubling as a Covid centre, for five days on the Canary Island.
Recalling the ordeal, the newlywed told Chronicle Live: "The lights began to flicker and then there was an almighty bang and I could see that the fuse box, which was behind the entrance door, was on fire and fuses inside it were exploding.
"Because of where the fuse box was, I could not use the door, so I ran on to the balcony and shouted for help before I rang Andrew. Two guests from downstairs heard my yells and ran to ask reception to call the emergency services.
"Andrew ran back to the apartment and tried to keep me calm, but I was absolutely frantic. I couldn't get out of the door and the apartment was on the second floor, so I couldn't jump down.
"It was awful for Andrew because he could see the state I was in and couldn't do anything to help me, until he had the idea of standing on a chair and a barman climbed on his shoulders up to my balcony, grabbed a towel and ran me out the apartment past the burning fuse box.
"The whole thing was absolutely horrific, and our ordeal carried on, as the room we were moved to had no smoke alarm, which completely freaked us out after what I had just been through, so we spent the night terrified the same would happen again and coughing because of the the smoke inhalation."
The couple were moved for a second time but claim the kettle tripped in their room, which Clare said caused her to panic and have flashbacks to being trapped on the balcony.
Clare, who is also recovering from treatment for a brain tumour, has called the holiday a "complete disaster".
But Jet2 says the hotel "complies with local health and safety requirements".
Clare and Andrew, from Forest Hall, Newcastle, spent £1,770 for the 19-day holiday but claim Jet2 only offered a £300 voucher against the price of a holiday as compensation.
"Andrew and I have enough going on in our lives without this happening," said Clare, who was diagnosed with her brain tumour in September 2020.
"We paid Jet2 £1770 for the holiday, without spending money, and it was not the holiday we had booked, looked forward to or paid for. This was meant to be as break for us after the terrible time we have had, and a late honeymoon because I couldn't go on a proper honeymoon as I was in the middle of chemotherapy when we got married.
"Instead it was a complete disaster.
"We have lost lots of days dealing with the fire, cleaning all of our things, washing our clothes, and attending the medical centre. I am very weak from the cancer treatment and having bronchitis so my husband had to do everything, so it was far from a break for him.
"Three months later, I am very traumatised by the whole incident, It has affected my sleep and I need to make sure I am by a door so can escape if I need to."
Clare has repeatedly contacted Jet2 regarding her experience.
She continued: "Jet2 just don't seem to care.
"I have written to the chief executive seven times and he has not bothered to reply to any of the emails. It just doesn't seem right. When I spoke to someone about it, she said I should have read the safety instructions in the room - but they were on the back of the door where the fire was! I was a safety marshal at St James's Park for 15 years, so I am well aware of fire safety regulations.
"Luckily Andrew and I are tough, we have been through so much. I have been told that my tumour will come back and it will shorten my life, so we are just trying to live each day to the fullest and experience as much as we can while I am able. We were regular Jet2 customers - we would normally have two holidays a year - but this has made us so angry. The company just doesn't seem to have any empathy at all."
A Jet2 spokesman said: “We are sorry to hear about Mr and Mrs Carr's experience and would like to apologise for any upset caused. Our teams did all they could to support Mr and Mrs Carr, after the fuse box tripped causing a small fire limited to the fuse box with smoke being produced.
"This included assisting them in moving rooms, arranging medical assistance, cleaning their clothes and completing regular welfare checks. The health and safety of our customers will always be our number one priority and following a thorough investigation we can confirm that the hotel complies with local health and safety requirements. We have provided Mr and Mrs Carr with a goodwill gesture in light of this experience.”

Spotify is testing a new feature — Featured Curators playlist — to bring user-created playlists to the homepage of the app. The feature is rolling out slowly and if you are a part of the test, you will be able to see the recommended playlist on your own Featured Curators carousel. Spotify hasn't specified which locations will the feature pilot in. The company is also reportedly testing a new 'audio newsfeed' feature for easy podcast discovery on its apps. Last month, the company had announced that users on Android are getting the much-awaited “Swipe to Queue” gesture.
Spotify's Featured Curators pilot will let listeners discover music via a collection of playlists curated by select Spotify users and influencers. The pilot is a limited-time test and promotes popular user and influencer playlists on the app alongside Spotify playlists.
The curators picked by Spotify are music lovers with established followings and popular playlists on Spotify. The feature is still in its test phase and according to Spotify, only users in ‘select markets' may soon begin to see the Featured Curators playlists recommended in-app and on their homepages.
Spotify is also reportedly testing a new 'audio newsfeed' feature for easy podcast discovery on its apps. The new interface is said to provide a TikTok-style vertical scrolling feed that features 60-second clips from various podcasts. It is reportedly utilising a technology that was developed by the startup company Podz, which Spotify acquired last year. This feature is currently said to be available to a limited number of users. These users get a dedicated 'Podcasts' button in the app to access the vertical feed.
Earlier last month, Spotify had also announced that Spotify users on Android are getting the much-awaited “Swipe to Queue” gesture. The feature makes it easy to add tracks to a Spotify queue with an easy gesture. The feature was exclusive for iOS users for years.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The last time President Barack Obama was in the White House was on Jan. 20, 2017, when he left to escort Donald Trump, who was bent on overturning “Obamacare,” to the Capitol to be inaugurated.
Obama is returning to the White House on Tuesday to savor his signature Affordable Care Act.
That law is now part of the fabric of the American health care system and President Joe Biden is looking to extend its reach.
Sign-ups have increased under Biden’s stewardship, and more generous taxpayer subsidies have cut costs for enrollees.
Biden and Obama are marking the 12th anniversary of the law's enactment, and they're out to expand its footprint.
The meeting between the two comes as the Biden administration announces a new rule that will give more families access to ACA subsidies.
Currently, workers who do not have affordable health insurance options through their employer or job can qualify for subsidized coverage on the ACA exchange.
The new rule will allow family members of workers with affordable single coverage to qualify for subsidies on the exchange.
If approved, the rule will go into effect in 2023.

Kriti Sanon has been on an upwards journey ever since her debut in Heropanti alongside Tiger Shroff. In her last release, Mimi saw her taking this content-driven film to the pinnacle of success single-handedly. This year is special for Kriti as she will do two experimental roles in genres she hasn't tried yet. One will be Bhediya which is a horror-comedy opposite Varun Dhawan. The other is an action film Ganapath, where Kriti will reunite with Tiger Shroff and will be seen doing some high-end action sequences herself.
Speaking to Bombay Times, she opened up about her upcoming projects, “Ganapath and Bhediya are two different genres, both I haven't done before. Ganapath is my first action film, where you will see me performing stunts, which is something I really wanted to do for a very long time. Bhediya, on the other hand, is my first horror-comedy. It has a very entertaining script and a very unique character. The look of my character in the film is also something that makes it stand out as it is something that I haven’t done before.”
She went on to talk about how her recent projects have allowed her to reunite with her former co-stars too, “I am working with Tiger after a gap of eight years (post-Heropanti) in Ganapath. And I am working with Varun after a gap of seven years (post-Dilwale) in Bhediya."

Elon Musk to join Twitter’s board
Elon Musk is joining Twitter’s board of directors a day after disclosing that the Tesla CEO took a 9% stake in the social media platform.
Twitter Inc. said in a regulatory filing Tuesday that it entered into an agreement with Musk on Monday that will give the billionaire a seat on its board, with the term expiring at its 2024 annual shareholders meeting.
Musk, either alone or as a member of a group, won’t be allowed to own more than 14.9% of Twitter’s outstanding stock for as long as he’s a board member and for 90 days after.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal said in a tweet that the company had been talking to Musk in recent weeks and “it became clear to us that he would bring great value to our Board.”
“He’s both a passionate believer and intense critic of the service which is exactly what we need on @Twitter, and in the boardroom, to make us stronger in the long-term,” Agrawal continued.
Putting Musk on Twitter’s board and limiting the amount of stock he can acquire while as a director may be a strategic move on Twitter’s part, as Musk became its biggest shareholder and openly questioned the social media platform’s dedication to free speech and the First Amendment.
Musk, who has 80 million Twitter followers, purchased 73.5 million shares, worth about $3 billion. He has also raised the possibility with his massive and loyal Twitter following, that he could create a rival social media network.
Musk has not spoken specifically about any Twitter rule changes he might push. He tweeted Tuesday that he wants to make “ significant improvements to Twitter in coming months! ” Late Monday he launched a poll asking whether users want an edit button, misspelling “yes” as “yse.”
In March, Musk told his millions of followers on Twitter that he was “ giving serious thought ” to creating his own social media platform, and has clashed repeatedly with financial regulators about his use of Twitter.
Musk is locked into a bitter dispute with the SEC over his ability to post on Twitter. His lawyer has contended in court motions that the SEC is infringing on the Tesla CEO’s First Amendment rights.
Shares of Twitter rose more than 6% before the market open.

Davies expected to return to Bayern lineup on Wednesday
It appears Canadian soccer superstar Alphonso Davies will return to Bayern Munich's lineup Wednesday in leg 1 of their Champions League quarterfinal matchup against Villareal.
TSN.ca Staff
It appears Canadian soccer superstar Alphonso Davies will return to Bayern Munich's lineup Wednesday in leg 1 of their Champions League quarterfinal matchup against Villareal.
Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann said Tuesday that Davies has been medically cleared to start and will make a decision soon as to how much he will play in Wednesday's game.
"Alphonso Davies will be in the squad, and the results of his medical mean that he has been cleared to start," said Nagelsmann on Tuesday. "We will make a decision over the course of the day. In general, I am leaning towards having him in the starting XI."
The 21-year-old has been out since early January after he was diagnosed with mild myocarditis following a bout with COVID-19.

La Jolla Business Roundup: Passion Tree hard seltzer, Easter feasts, Vons renovation, more
From a rebrand and a renovation to Easter dining to new faces on the La Jolla business scene, here’s a look at what’s new:
Passion Tree hard seltzer has La Jolla ties
Though it was released at the height of the popularity of hard seltzer (carbonated water with alcohol and fruit flavorings), Passion Tree hard seltzer looks to be a little different.
La Jolla resident Andy Kuklock helped launch the drink last year, and it is available at Ralphs supermarkets and select liquor stores.
Kuklock said Passion Tree is different from competitors in its 5.5 percent alcohol content, natural flavorings and less carbonation.
“Ours is cold-brewed from sugarcane to create the alcohol, which is the cleanest way to brew the seltzer with premium flavoring,” he said. “So it tastes smooth and natural, with no artificial or chemical aftertaste.”
The company also partners with environmental agencies to plant a tree for every case sold.
“This year we’re expanding the concept and localizing it as well,” Kuklock said. “We’re excited about that. We want to give back.”

La Jolla Vons to become Pavilions
Preparation is underway at La Jolla’s Vons supermarket at 7544 Girard Ave. to convert it to a more upscale Pavilions. A timeline for the switch is not yet available.
A spokeswoman for the company said it is waiting on permit approval to begin the change. “We have some planned improvements to the La Jolla store ... to convert the store to the Pavilions banner,” said Courtney Carranza, director of communications and public affairs for the Southern California division of Vons.
“The Pavilions stores are similar to Vons but are more upscale,” Carranza said. “We will feature an expanded selection of organic produce, butcher block featuring wagyu beef and dry-aged beef, a wine cellar and a specialty cheese selection.”
Vons and Pavilions are owned by the Albertsons Cos. of grocery stores. Learn more at vons.com.

Lenovo Yoga 9i (2022) Unboxing: What’s in the box?
Lenovo’s Yoga 9i series represents the firm’s consumer flagship, competing with Dell’s XPS 13 and HP’s Spectre x360 14. One of the key changes with this generation is the design. Indeed, if you put the Yoga 9i of yesteryear next to an HP Spectre x360 and a Dell XPS, it was clear which two were the prettiest, and it wasn’t the Yoga. That changes with this generation, with Lenovo adding rounded edges with a chrome-style finish.
That’s not all that changes with the new Yoga 9i. There’s also no pen garage anymore, something that was included in the product for several generations. You’ll be happy to know that a pen does still come in the box though.
Here’s the full list of what comes in the Lenovo Yoga 9i box:
- Lenovo Yoga 9i
- Lenovo Precision Pen 2
- Premium Travel Sleeve
- AC adapter
- 65W charger
It does come with the Lenovo Precision Pen 2, although not only is there no pen garage, but there’s no built-in way to store the pen at all. There’s no magnet to attach it to the side or anywhere else. It does, however, come with a sleeve, which is pretty cool on its own. But as you’d expect, that sleeve does come with a loop for pen storage.
There’s lots of cool new stuff with the Lenovo Yoga 9i. It comes with Intel’s 12th-gen processors, specifically the Core i7-1280P, which has a 28W TDP, four performance cores, and eight efficiency cores for 12 cores and 16 threads. It also comes with faster LPDDR5 RAM, Thunderbolt 4, and more. The integrated Iris Xe graphics should be pretty much the same as the previous generation model.
It also has an option for a 4K OLED display, which is absolutely beautiful. For an even more immersive streaming experience, Lenovo is still including the rotating soundbar, which packs two 3W woofers and two 2W tweeters. All-in-all, it looks like Lenovo’s new flagship could be a winner.
-
Lenovo's Yoga 9i has a rotating soundbar hinge, an OLED display, 12th-gen 28W processors, and more. It's one of the best laptops of the year.

US Services Surveys Disappoint In March, Confirm Rise In Prices "Sharpest On Record"
Following the mixed picture from US manufacturing surveys (PMI up, ISM down), the US Services surveys were both expected to rise in March.
Markit (S&P Global) US Services PMI rose from 56.5 in Feb to 58.0 in March (less than the 58.9 exp), but this was a drop from the preliminary print of 58.9.
ISM Services rose from 56.5 in Fed to 58.3 in March (after 3 straight months lower), but was lower than the expected rise to 58.5
This is as US macro surprise data's recent improving trend stalled in March.
Source: Bloomberg
Only ISM's Manufacturing survey dropped in March...
The detailed breakdown saw relatively flat prices, modest improvements in New Orders, New Export Orders and Employment, and a collapse in imports and inventory sentiment.
The rise in selling prices was the sharpest on record (since October 2009), as service providers reportedly passed through higher costs to clients, where possible. The rate of cost inflation accelerated to the quickest since December's series-record high, and was the third-steepest on record. Where higher cost burdens were reported, firms linked this to broad-based increases in input prices. Companies once again highlighted hikes in fuel, energy and wage bills as driving inflation.
It seems the prices of Steel Products are both rising and falling...
Meanwhile the survey respondents were confused if they are in the US or Weimar Germany:
Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global, said:
“Business activity in the vast service sector enjoyed a boost from the relaxation of virus-fighting restrictions in March, regaining strong momentum after the Omicron-induced slowdown seen at the start of the year. Demand for services is in fact growing so fast that companies are increasingly struggling to keep pace with customer orders, leading to the largest rise in backlogs of work recorded since the survey began in 2009.
"However, while this suggests that companies have a healthy book of orders to sustain strong output in the coming months, the downside is further upward pressure on prices as demand exceeds supply. With firms' costs inflated by the soaring price of energy, fuel and other raw materials, as well as rising wages, prices charged for services are rising at an unprecedented rate. Consumer price inflation therefore looks likely to accelerate further as we head into the spring."
The S&P Global US Composite PMI Output Index posted 57.7 in March, up from 55.9 in February (but down from the preliminary 58.5 print for March), with a familiar theme - inflationary pressures intensified as supplier costs soared. Input prices rose at one of the fastest rates on record, whilst costs passed through to customers drove up output charges at the joint-sharpest pace since data collection began in October 2009.

‘Batman Unburied’ podcast coming exclusively to Spotify next month
While we wait to see if he could become the next Black Panther in the MCU, Winston Duke is about to star as Batman in a new scripted podcast that’s on its way to Spotify. Last year, Warner Bros. revealed it was partnering with Spotify to create multiple podcasts based around iconic DC characters, with the first naturally focusing on the Bat of Gotham. At long last, it’s finally almost here, with the first episode of the series launching on the platform next month.
Titled Batman Unburied, the podcast has been announced (via The Hollywood Reporter) to premiere exclusively on Spotify this May 3. As created and executive produced by The Dark Knight screenwriter David S. Goyer, Unburied features a stellar cast, with Duke’s Bruce Wayne joined by Hasan Minhaj as the Riddler, Jason Isaacs as Alfred, Gina Rodriguez as Barbara Gordon, Lance Reddick as Thomas Wayne, Toks Olagundoye as Martha Wayne, John Rhys-Davies as Dr. Hunter, and Ashley Burch as Vicki Vale.
The podcast will likewise release globally as it’s been adapted into eight other languages for the territories of Brazil, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, and Mexico, with these international versions featuring local talent in place of the English-language cast. Further DC podcasts coming to Spotify will star the likes of Wonder Woman, Lois Lane, Catwoman, and Batgirl.
Unburied promises to be something of an Elseworlds tale as it will reimagine billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne as a forensic pathologist working in Gotham Hospital, examining the victims of a serial killer known as the Harvester. It’s also notable for marking the first time in an official DC production that the character has been played by an African-American actor.
Don’t miss Batman Unburied when it hits Spotify in a month’s time. And remember that Winston Duke is also set to star in Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever this summer.

CHICAGO, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitcoin of America, the leading virtual currency exchange, is announcing its return to BTC 2022 in Miami. Bitcoin of America made headlines last year at Bitcoin 2021 for promoting females in the cryptocurrency space. This year the company is back and bringing even more of its female team including its top women executives. The company has been very vocal about making cryptocurrency more inclusive to women and bringing more females into the industry.
Mayor Francis Suarez has become a staple to the cryptocurrency space with his immense support of Bitcoin and its importance in the emerging tech hub Miami. Suarez spoke last year at the Bitcoin 2021 conference. This year he is looking forward to welcoming the all women team from Bitcoin of America. "I am excited that Miami is hosting the largest Bitcoin conference for the second year in a row. What we don't see very often is promoting women in the cryptocurrency industry and its refreshing to see a top operator like Bitcoin of America sending its all-female executive team." Suarez said when speaking with Alice Gorodetsky, Bitcoin of America's Director of Business Development.
Bitcoin of America has been known as the leading operator in the cryptocurrency industry to provide fast and hassle-free transactions to their customers while offering top of the line customer support. The company operates 2000 Bitcoin ATM locations across the United States and is consistently expanding.
Last year at Bitcoin 2021 in Miami, the company made a splash at the all-male dominated conference.

Bitcoin of America is hoping to encourage other women to join the industry and are looking to add even more females to its team! All of the current female employees have been very vocal about Bitcoin of America's amazing work environment and company culture.
Bitcoin of America has continued to send their female executive team to attend conferences, expos, and more. They even revealed that most of their top tier positions
are filled by women.

Knutsford residents urged to come forward to take part in a historical project
The Town Council is producing a special film as part of the project.
Enid Leigh has shared her stories
Submitted by Adam Keppel-Green
Local residents are being encouraged to come forward and share their stories from the Second World War.
People who live in Knutsford, Cheshire are being asked to take part in the Town Council's oral history project.
The recollections will form part of a documentary film detailing the history of Knutsford during the war.
Three locals have already taken part.
Tony Leadbeater, Enid Leigh and William Cowburn shared their memories on camera for the project.
Each person was interviewed by a volunteer from the community who has undertaken oral history training.
Adam Keppel-Green, town clerk, said: "Watching the recordings and hearing the first hand memories of residents from this time is amazing.
"We are really keen to reach more of our residents who have memories of Knutsford during this period.
"If that’s you please do get in touch and if you know anyone around the age of 85+ please share this with them or let us know their details."
The interviews are being filmed to create an engaging video to reach all generations.
It will share the story of the town during the war, with the final video set to include archive footage and photographs from the era.
One of the memories shared so far was the sight of Lancaster bombers taking off and seeing paratroopers practising over Tatton Park.
Others remembered taking the battery for the wireless to be charged at a garage near the Conservative Club, to enable the family to listen to the news.
If you or someone you know could be part of the project, contact Tor Rogers on 01565 653 929 or 'tor.rogers@knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk'.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, preliminary readings suggest that worldwide telecom capex—the sum of wireless and wireline telecom investments—increased 9 percent year-over-year in nominal USD terms and remain on track to advance 3 percent in 2022 before tapering off in 2023 and 2024, confirming the positive momentum and the growth projections we have previously communicated with the telecom equipment programs (Broadband Access, Microwave Transmission & Mobile Backhaul, Optical Transport, Mobile Core Network, Radio Access Network, Service Provider Routers & Switch).
"Telco investments, in general, have shown remarkable resilience to external factors including Covid-19 containment measures, supply chain disruptions, and economic uncertainties," said Stefan Pongratz, Vice President and analyst with the Dell'Oro Group. "Surging wireless investments in the US taken together with non-mobile capex expansions in China will keep the momentum going in 2022," continued Pongratz.
Additional highlights from the March 2022 3-year Telecom Capex forecast report:
- Global capex growth is expected to moderate from 9 percent in 2021 to 3 percent in 2022, before tapering off in 2023 and 2024.
- The coupling between carrier investments and manufacturing infrastructure revenues is expected to prevail over the short-term—capex and telecom equipment are on track to advance 3 percent and 4 percent in 2022, respectively.
- Short-term output acceleration is expected to be relatively broad-based, with investments growing in China and the US. At the same time, challenging comparisons in the US are expected to drag down the overall capex in the outer part of the forecast.
- Following a strong showing in 2021, capex growth prospects across Europe will be more muted in 2022.
About the Report
The Dell'Oro Group Telecom Capex Report provides in-depth coverage of more than 50 telecom operators highlighting carrier revenue, capital expenditure, and capital intensity trends. The report provides actual and 3-year forecast details by carrier, by region by country (United States, Canada, China, India, Japan, and South Korea), and by technology (wireless/wireline).

In 2020, the event was played without fans in Asheville, N.C.
Kansas kicks off nearly every season with the Champions Classic in mid-November, the national showcase featuring Duke, Michigan State and Kentucky.
Gonzaga (1), Kansas (1), Tennessee (3), Purdue (3) and UCLA (4) were top-seeded teams in the 2022 NCAA Tournament.

For more terrestrially grounded people, writing about cricket can be seen as an exercise in distant planetary speculation. The Nobel laureate Harold Pinter did not think so, calling this old English game “the greatest thing that God ever created on earth.” Others might disagree with mild disgust, finding it archaic, jargon heavy and slow.
In the early 1990s, one figure broke through the stuffiness of willow bats, pads, leather balls and white flannel. When life left the overly worked body of Australia’s Shane Warne, who expired in Thailand at 52, the reaction was global. In India and Pakistan, hundreds of millions mourned. This most celebrated of error-prone buffoons was, as the emperor Vespasian might have said, becoming a god.
The Melbourne Cricket Ground, on March 30, became the venue for one such occasion: a state memorial service held in honour of the cricketer. For a brief spell, a sporting stadium had become a cathedral, the occasion heavy with solemnity. In it, Warne’s followers and admirers communed.
When Sir Elton John appears to commemorate you, the celebrity value is bound to inflate and discombobulate. There were others from the Hollywood set with recorded speeches (fittingly, Warne, with his peroxide hair, ear adornments and lifestyle had been given the name of “Hollywood”). The more cynical observer might wonder whether these people would necessarily know what a cricket pitch looked like, let alone what Warne’s expertise entailed. But sport in this era can enable a figure to move beyond fringes, catapulted to permanent, social media dissemination. Even prior to the advent of the tech giant platform, Warney had already broken the mould.
Nothing can be taken away from his expertise, in so far as it was practised on the cricket ground. The smell of leather whirring and whizzing upon flattened grass. Deception and guile, packed into the movement of the delivery. A mastery of tactics, field placements, with a sublime ability that enabled him to execute the “ball of the century” in 1993 against England’s bemused Mike Gatting.
Memorials, however, always risk going too far, slipping into soppy hagiography. Malcolm Knox tearily glistens by claiming that the cricketer was “a force of nature and an everyman”. Writing like a starstruck admirer, Knox is dewey. “If you ever walked behind Shane Warne through a crowded place, you might get an idea of what it was like. Some deferred by looking away again. Others grappled with their phones to take a quick shot.”
Another admirer of Warne’s, sports commentator Sam Newman, was aghast about Warne’s other, lesser-known activities. It came out during the memorial service itself. Warne, Andrea Egan of the UN Development Programme revealed, had joined its wildlife fund, Lion’s Share, in 2021. Her address seemed to transform the late sports figure into a modern incarnation of St. Francis of Assisi. She explained how his legacy lived on “in the people of Sri Lanka promoting sea turtle conservation, in an all-female anti-poaching unit in South Africa and the team of the Byron Bay hospital, who were supported in the wake of the bushfires.”
Egan’s appearance stunned Newman. “They had a representative from the United Nations! I tell you what, if that man has not taken all before him, I’d like to see someone who can top that.” It’s not often you hear a good word about the UN in these circles – Newman is as parochially soaked as they come – but he had to concede that Warne’s involvement, and the acknowledgment, “nearly blew me out of the water”.
Memorial services also serve to iron out wrinkles and add cosmetic touch-ups. Brilliance, or genius, can be mistaken as being broad rather than confined, somehow seeping into other areas of life. Unless you have a particular affection for laddish and occasionally loutish behaviour, for acts of spectacular stupidity in public life, cricket remains the throne upon which Warne sat most comfortably. But when he got off it and wandered around without orb and sceptre, the messiness began.
Warne made no secret of this tendency, though he proved unapologetic about it. In one of his three ghost written autobiographies, No Spin, he conceded to having “made a number of mistakes in my life and I will continue to make them. This is what it means to be human.”
With that standard in mind, Warne proved particularly human in accepting $5,000 in 1994 during a one-day tournament in Sri Lanka from a shady Indian bookmaker by the name of “John”. This was a stroke of good luck – Warne had frittered away about that same amount at the hotel’s casino in Colombo. This “gift” with “no strings attached” transpired because Warne’s own Australian teammate, Mark Waugh, had received $4000 from “John” for supplying weather and pitch reports.
In reflecting upon this incident, Warne gave one of his famously baffling reasons. He did not wish to insult John, who was offering the money to a figure he described as “a great player”. He would recall that this was “the sort of conversation I might have had with my dad and brother.” This dubious family analogy did not extend to the Pakistani cricketer Saleem Malik, who, fortunately for the slow bowler, failed in an attempt to make Warne throw a match for $200,000.
Family, however, makes an appearance again in 2003. The occasion was the injudicious taking of tablets, which pushed Warne, and Australia, into the less than flattering light of sports doping. That year, Warne was found to have taken a banned diuretic. Like many an idiot son in the lurch, he blamed his unwitting mother, who wished him to look “nice” when facing the media.
At the time, Dick Pound, former vice-president of the International Olympic Committee, found that explanationincorrigible, “laughable” and on par with the excuse, “I got it from the toilet seat”. In February 2003, the Australian Cricket Board drugs panel imposed a twelve-month ban.
An unrelenting Pound would continue to find Warne’s account dubious. In his 2006 book Inside Dope, the former sporting administrator is withering to the cricketer. Pointing the finger at his mother for wishing to see a more streamlined version of her son before the cameras concealed the fact that Warne was nursing a shoulder injury. “The diuretic was a masking agent that could have hidden the possible use of steroids that would help the injury cure faster. He had returned to play almost twice as quickly as the experts had predicted.”
With Warne’s entry into the pantheon of cricket’s immortals, ethicists and philosophers will have no reason to lose sleep. Dick Pound will remain unconvinced. The most profitable exercise will be to regard the player’s talent on the field with admiration, and his ability to command loyalty as remarkable. Keep him on cricket’s throne. He looks best there.

SINGAPORE - China National Nuclear Power Co's first-quarter power generation increased by 15.5% from the same period last year, with renewables growth outpacing its dominant nuclear arm.
Total power output was 47 billion kilowatts hours (kWh) in the first three months of 2022, including 44.3 billion kWh from nuclear power stations and 2.69 billion kWh from its wind and solar plants, the company said in a filing to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
The renewables division's output rose by 38% year on year, versus a 14% rise in nuclear generation.
The company holds controlling stakes in 25 operating nuclear power stations with combined capacity of 23.7 gigawatts (GW), while its renewables plants have installed capacity totalling 8.9 GW, it said.
For the whole of 2021, China Nuclear Power generated nearly 19% more electricity than a year earlier at 182.6 billion kWh.

Russia is turning to microchip manufactures in China to circumvent western sanctions which have boosted demand for bank cards linked to the Mir payment system, an executive with the domestic payment system said.
Western sanctions imposed on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine have cut Moscow off the global financial system and from nearly half of its $640 billion in gold and foreign exchange reserves.
Oleg Tishakov, a board member with the National Card Payment System (NSPK), said Russia is facing a shortage of microchips as Asian manufactures suspend production amid a coronavirus pandemic and European suppliers have stopped cooperating with Moscow following sanctions.
"We are looking for new microchip suppliers and found a couple in China, with certification process ongoing," Tishakov told a conference on Tuesday, without giving further details.
Some of Russia's biggest banks no longer have access to the SWIFT global banking messaging system, and international payment cards Visa and MasterCard have stopped servicing Russian accounts abroad. Mir's connection to Apple Pay was removed last month.
NSPK issued over 2 million Mir cards between the end of 2021 and March, according to Reuters calculations based on the system's data, with total cards outstanding now at 116 million.
All major Russian banks have reported an increased demand for the domestic card, which some now issue in a co-brand with China's UnionPay, an alternative payment system to Visa and MasterCard for purchases by Russians abroad.
Mir cards are also accepted by some banks in Turkey, Vietnam, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Georgia breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

KTR's attempts to compare Bengaluru with Hyderabad "utter joke", says Karnataka CM

Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday dismissed Telangana IT Minister K T Rama Rao's attempts to compare Bengaluru with Hyderabad as ''utter joke''.
He was responding to Rao's recent tweet asking an entrepreneur in Bengaluru to shift to Hyderabad, claiming better physical and social infrastructure there.
''It is an utter joke....not just India, people from across the world are coming to Bengaluru. Highest startups are in Bengaluru. Highest unicorns are in Bengaluru, million and billion dollars worth,'' Bommai said in response to a question on Rao's tweet.
Speaking to reporters here, he said, ''The highest FDI in the country, more than 40 per cent of FDI, for the successive last three quarters Karnataka is number one. So comparing Karnataka with Telangana or Bengaluru with Hyderabad is an utter joke.'' On March 31, responding to a tweet by serial entrepreneur Ravish Naresh, complaining about Bengaluru's infrastructure, Rao had asked him to ''Pack your bags & move to Hyderabad.'' ''...We have better physical infrastructure & equally good social infrastructure. Our airport is 1 of the best & getting in & out of city is a breeze. More importantly our Govt’s focus is on 3 i Mantra; innovation, infrastructure & inclusive growth,'' he tweeted.
Complaining about Bengaluru's roads and infrastructure, Naresh, who is Founder/CEO of Khatabook, in a tweet had said, ''Startups in HSR/Koramangala (India's Sillicon Valley) are already generating billions of $ of taxes. Yet we have v bad roads, almost daily power cuts, poor quality water supply, unusable foot paths. Many rural areas now have better basic infra than India's Sillicon Valley'' Also the nearest airport is about three hours away in peak traffic, he had complained.
In response to another tweet, Rao on Monday tweeted, ''Strange & sad are the state of affairs in Bengaluru!! And then some BJP politicos from Bengaluru come & lecture us on how to run the Govt in Telangana! What's happening in KA (Karnataka) is a shame on to all of us in India; ruins our reputation as a nation in attracting investments.'' PTI KSU RS KSU SS SS

Not within scope of court to dictate to cab aggregators on app features, says Bombay HC
- Country:
- India
The Bombay High Court on Tuesday said it was not within the scope of the court's powers to dictate to cab aggregators like Uber and Ola on features of its mobile application.
A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice M S Karnik said it was the legislature which was empowered to lay down guidelines to regulate cab aggregators.
The bench was hearing a petition filed by advocate Savina Crasto against transport aggregators, alleging the lack of a consumer grievance redressal mechanism to resolve complaints against Uber.
The Maharashtra government had, on Monday, told court it had granted provisional license to 12 aggregators, including Uber and Ola.
Crasto on Tuesday told the court the state government had still not specified or mentioned in its report if the condition while granting license included setting up of a grievance redressal mechanism. Crasto sought the court's intervention to ensure that proper mechanisms are put in place.
Replying to this, the HC said, ''The legislature has powers to issue guidelines. How can the courts do so? You want the app to have certain features, but can we do it?... The state is there to frame guidelines.'' As per the government report, Ola, Uber and 10 other cab aggregators have been granted provisional aggregators licenses under the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act and the Motor Vehicle Aggregators Guidelines of 2020.
Appearing for Uber, senior advocate Janak Dwarkadas pointed out that a grievance redressal mechanism was available. He contended that as a company wanting to do better business, Uber did not fall back with contemporaries.
''We do not like to fall behind, we do not want Ola to have better business than Uber. That is not good for our business. There is a service available of the same nature,'' he told the court.
The court then said it would grant two months time to the state government to check if the aggregators are complying with conditions stipulated under the guidelines.
The state is expected to consider the experiences and the nature of complaints that are lodged with the aggregators to find deficiencies, if any, in the system, the bench said.

The top 20 garden improvements most likely to add the most value to your home
New research from building and renovation expert, Roofing Megastore has revealed the top 20 garden trends that can increase the value of your home the most in 2022.
The findings are taken from Roofing Megastore’s Garden Trends Report where more than 2,000 prospective purchasers were asked about the garden trends they now value the most, and which would cause them to lower their offer on a property they were looking to buy.
Garden Improvements That Maximise Your Home’s Value
Over the past two years, our outside spaces have become more important than ever, and flexible living and at-home socialising dominate the top 10 most valued garden improvements.
With this in mind, a conservatory is the most prized garden feature, potentially adding almost £8,500 to the value of your home, and home office garden rooms are now second on a buyer’s wish list for things they’d like in a garden, adding over £7,200 to a property’s value. A garden gym room, an outdoor kitchen, an outdoor entertaining area and a hot tub all make the top 10 too.
Just outside the top 10, buyers would now pay £5,600 extra for a home that had a garden bar. A built-in pizza oven would add on £5,100 and a built-in BBQ could increase a home’s value by £5,000.
Top 20 garden trends that increase the value of your home
1 Conservatory by £8,449
2 Home office garden room by £7,261
3 Gym/studio room in the garden by £7,124
4 Orangery by £6,595
5 Outdoor kitchen by £6,385
6 Outdoor entertaining/dining area by £6,164
7 South facing garden by £6,161
8 Hot tub by £5,809
9 New paved patio by £5,752
10 New decking area by £5,638
11 Garden bar by £5,624
12 Mature plants/trees/flowers by £5,224
13 Children's treehouse by £5,158
14 Greenhouse by £5,157
15 Built-in pizza oven by £5,135
16 Built-in outdoor BBQ by £5,062
17 West facing garden by £5,008
18 Astroturf by £4,999
19 Pergola by £4,980
20 New garden shed by £4,916
Given the increased time many of us have spent at home and in our gardens during the pandemic, it’s understandable how many buyers are keen to maximise the amount of sunshine they get in their outside space.
South-facing gardens are historically the most prized, with dawn ‘til dusk sunshine on the cards during the summer months, and they could also increase the value of a home by £6,161. A home with a west facing garden would see its value increase by £5,008. But an east-facing garden could knock off £4,984 from a property’s value, and a north-facing garden could reduce a home’s value by £5,318.

Russia waged deliberate campaign to commit atrocities in Bucha - Blinken
Russia waged a deliberate campaign to commit atrocities in the Ukrainian town of Bucha, and the United States is supporting the efforts of the Ukrainian authorities in their investigation of these acts, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday.
- Country:
- United States
Russia waged a deliberate campaign to commit atrocities in the Ukrainian town of Bucha, and the United States is supporting the efforts of the Ukrainian authorities in their investigation of these acts, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday. "What we've seen in Bucha is not the random act of a rogue unit," Blinken told reporters before departing for Brussels for a NATO foreign ministers' meeting.
"It's a deliberate campaign to kill, to torture, to rape, to commit atrocities," he said. Russia, which says it launched a "special military operation" in Ukraine on Feb. 24 to demilitarize and "denazify" its neighbour, denies targeting civilians and said the deaths were a "monstrous forgery" staged by the West to discredit it.

Nairobi — A lucky Kenyan living in the diaspora in any part of the world will be flown back home for free thanks to an ongoing raffle by Tatu City.
The "Fly Me Home!" raffle is free and open to any Kenyan living abroad who is 18 or older. As an added bonus, the winner may invite a friend or family member to accompany them on the flight home.
Tatu City said in a statement that the raffle will be open for entries from April 1 to June 30, 2022. On July 1, 2022, the draw will be live-streamed on Tatu City's social media channels.
Lornah Kiplagat, a Tatu City resident, and the city's new Health & Wellness Ambassador said during the campaign's launch: "Tatu City is proud to support Kenyan diaspora and the incredibly important role they play in our country's economic development," she said, adding, "The controlled neighborhoods of Tatu City have long attracted members of the diaspora looking for a serene, secure, and rapidly appreciating real estate investment back home."
The raffle is licensed by the Betting Control and Licensing Board of Kenya.

Former NBA Coach of the Year winner Gene Shue dies at 90
The 2-time Coach of the Year took Washington and Philadelphia to The Finals in his career.
Gene Shue, who found success as a player, coach and executive in the NBA, has died. He was 90.
The NBA family mourns the passing of Gene Shue, a 5x NBA All-Star, 2x All-NBA selection and 2x NBA Coach of the Year. Gene dedicated his life to the game and left an indelible mark as a player, head coach and executive. We extend our deepest condolences to the Shue family.
— NBA (@NBA) April 4, 2022
Shue spent 22 years as an NBA coach, played 10 seasons in the NBA and had 19 years of experience as an executive in the league, too. He was a five-time All-Star with Detroit Pistons (1957-62) and led the team to five straight playoff berths. Prior to his success with Detroit, he spent his first two NBA seasons with the Philadelphia Warriors and New York Knicks and struggled to find success at either stop.
As a coach, Shue was well-known for his mix of fundamentals and willingness to embrace new wrinkles in the game. When the 3-pointer was officially adopted by the NBA in the 1979-80 season, it was Shue’s Clippers that led the league in 3-point attempts (543), 3-pointers (177) and had the league leader in 3-pointers made (Brian Taylor, 90). Overall, he was 784-681 in the regular season and 33-47 in the playoffs as an NBA coach.
His willingness to take on challenging situations and turn them around was also a hallmark of his career and one for which he was rewarded. He was NBA coach of the year in 1968-69 after taking the Baltimore Bullets (now Washington Wizards) from a 36-46 season to a 57-25 finish that season. He won it again in 1981-82 with the Bullets when they finished 43-39 after back-to-back 39-43 marks in 1979-80 and ’80-81.
Two years after his playing career ended in 1964, Shue began a 22-season long coaching career. He spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Bullets, compiling a 291-257 mark which included a run to the 1971 Finals (which Baltimore lost 4-0 to the upstart Milwaukee Bucks). He resigned after the 1972-73 season.
From there, Shue oversaw the start of one of the most successful eras in Philadelphia 76ers history as their coach. Although his debut season in Philadelphia ended with a 25-57 finish in 1973-74, he had the Sixers as a playoff team by 1975-76 behind talented guards Doug Collins and George McGinnis. The 1976-77 season saw Shue guide the Sixers — led by Julius Erving, Collins, McGinnis and others — to their first Finals in 10 seasons. Philadelphia took a 2-0 lead in those Finals, but lost four straight games to the youthful Portland Trail Blazers to lose the series.
Shue was fired six games into the 1977-78 season as the Sixers would go on to make three more Finals over the next six seasons and won the NBA title in 1983. After his stop with the Sixers, Shue coached the San Diego Clippers (now LA Clippers) from 1978-80, going 78-86, before heading back to the Bullets in 1980. In his second stint there, he went 231-248, made the playoffs three times, but only advanced out of the first round once and was fired in March of 1986.
He closed out his coaching career with another stop with the Clippers from 1987-89, amassing a 27-93 mark in 1 1/2 seasons of work before he was fired in January of 1989. After his coaching days were done, Shue served as GM of the 76ers from July, 1990 to May, 1992.

MENLO PARK, Calif., April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Endovascular Engineering ("E2"), a privately-held developer of next-generation thrombectomy devices to treat patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE), today announced the closing of a $15 million Series A1 financing. The financing was co-led by Santé Ventures and Cordis, who were joined by another strategic investor. E2 plans to use the proceeds to advance its thrombectomy platform through initial clinical evaluation.
DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in the deep veins, usually in the pelvis or leg. DVT can be fatal if a blood clot breaks free and travels through the heart and lodges in the lung arteries causing PE, the third most common cause of cardiovascular death after coronary artery disease and stroke.
The E2 thrombectomy system was invented by Dr. Luis Savastano and developed in partnership with Inventure Group LLC, a Menlo Park based medical device incubator focused on developing next generation medical devices to meet the needs of patients and the physicians that treat them.
Founder and CSO Dr. Luis Savastano said, "With the close of this funding we will continue the journey from concept to clinical use. We are confident our vision of single-pass peripheral thrombectomy procedures will be realized with the introduction of E2's thrombectomy solution."
CEO Mike Rosenthal said, "The E2 team is thrilled to welcome our new investment partners to further the pursuit of healthcare solutions that matter. We share a pioneering spirit dedicated to serving patients and physicians in the underserved peripheral indications."
"There is a large, unmet medical need for an efficient and easy to use thrombectomy solution in the peripheral space," said Dr. James Eadie, Managing Director at Santé Ventures and E2 board member. "E2's platform technology is elegant, procedurally focused, and backed by a strong team of medical device entrepreneurs and engineers."

Bengaluru: The situation is turning more serious in Karnataka with right-wing Hindu organisations planning to broadcast Hindu prayers at the time of azaan in mosques.
Hindu extremist Bharath Shetty stated on Monday that the campaign would start in Anjaneya temple of Yelahanka in Bengaluru at 5 a.m., during the time of azaan.
"The campaign is planned throughout the state", he said.
This being a sensitive issue, more so as Ramadan has just begun, the police is making elaborate security arrangements.
The Hindu organisations are planning to broadcast "Om Namah Shivay", "Jai Shri Ram" slogans and other Hndu devotional prayers exactly at the time of azaan (Adhan) in mosques.
The Shri Ram Sena has stated that it had submitted a request to the auhorities for stopping the use of loudspeakers at 5 a.m. "The tehsildar and the Pollution Control Board did not take any action on it", it said.
"We will submit a complaint to the District Commissioners as a last resort. The government should ask the Muslim community to follow the guidelines of the Supreme Court. We do not oppose their prayers. But, we oppose the use of loudspeakers because of which lakhs of people are put to inconvenience," Shri Ran Sena founder Pramod Muthalik stated.
"Every day at 5 a.m., there will be Ram Bhajans and prayers to Lord Shiva played in temples", he stated.
Karnataka is in national and international media since last four months first for ban on Hijab, then on Muslim traders and recently on Halal food.

Jury selection resumes for ex-officer’s Capitol riot trial
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jury selection resumed on Tuesday in the trial of a former Virginia police officer charged with storming the U.S. Capitol with a fellow officer who could be a key witness for federal prosecutors.
The federal judge presiding over former Rocky Mount police officer Thomas Robertson’s trial in Washington, D.C., questioned prospective jurors for several hours on Monday, the first day of jury selection.
Two other Capitol riot defendants already have been tried on federal charges arising from the Jan. 6, 2021, siege. The first two trials both ended with convictions, although a judge acquitted one of those defendants of a disorderly conduct charge.
One of Robertson’s former colleagues, Jacob Fracker, also was arrested on riot-relate charges. Fracker pleaded guilty last month to conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, the joint session of Congress to certify President Joe Biden’s electoral victory. Fracker agreed to cooperate with authorities and is listed as a potential trial witness.
Robertson is charged with six counts, including obstruction of an official proceeding, civil disorder, entering and remaining in a restricted building and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.
Robertson and Fracker both served as police officers in Rocky Mount. The town, which is about 25 miles south of Roanoke and has roughly 5,000 residents, fired both of them after their arrests.
Robertson and Fracker drove with a neighbor to Washington on the morning of Jan. 6. Robertson brought three gas masks for them to use, according to prosecutors. After listening to speeches near the Washington Monument, Fracker, Robertson and the neighbor walked toward the Capitol, donned the gas masks and joined the growing mob, prosecutors said. Robertson used a large wooden stick to impede police officers who were trying to hold off the mob, according to prosecutors.
Defense attorney Mark Rollins has said Robertson was inside the Capitol for only 10 minutes and didn’t assault anybody or break anything.
Robertson has been jailed since U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled in July that he violated the terms of his pretrial release by possessing firearms.
Robertson’s trial will be the first for somebody accused of entering the Capitol building during the riot.
On March 8, a jury decided the first Capitol riot trial by convicting a Texas man, Guy Reffitt, of storming the Capitol with a holstered handgun. In the second trial, a judge who heard testimony without a jury convicted New Mexico county official Couy Griffin of illegally entering restricted U.S. Capitol grounds but acquitted him of engaging in disorderly conduct.
Reffitt and Griffin entered restricted areas outside the Capitol but not the building itself.

“This song is dedicated to anyone whose life might’ve taken a turn for the worse or anybody who’s afraid their magic is gone,” said Jewel mid-way through her performance. “Take heart. The story is not over yet.” Performing her original song “The Story,” Jewel competed on American Song Contest, representing her home state of Alaska.
The stage was set to a shimmering cherry blossom inspired tree backdrop, Jewel, dressed in jeans and a feathery white flowing vest topped with a pink cowboy hat, sang the very pop song of hope, which built around the chorus This part makes me so emotional / Just a girl in a lonely world / Just praying for a miracle / Afraid she won’t see / But that’s not the end of the story.
The four-time Grammy winner who is about to release her 13th album Freewheelin’ Woman and recently won the last season of The Masked Singer, returned to her hometown and talked about her Alaskan pride and how it taught her to be different in a pre-recorded video shown prior to her performance.
The singer also reflected on her journey since her 1995 debut Pieces of You. “That album went on to sell 15 million albums,” she said. “My song ‘You Were Meant For Me’ ended up breaking all the records as the longest pop in the industry.”
She went on to talk about the magic of music, setting up her new song. “The thing I love about music is it’s the great leveler,” said Jewel. “Anybody can come up with a great song and it can be a hit, but I wanted to rapidly for this show to reintroduce myself to people who might be new to my music. My song is called ‘The Story.’
This week, Jewel joined other contestants, including Ni/Co (Alabama), Riker Lynch (Colorado), Nitro Nitra (Delaware), Ale Zabala (Florida), Brittany Pfantz (Louisiana), Brooke Alexx (New Jersey), Sabyu (Northern Mariana Islands), Jesse LeProtti (South Carolina), Judd Hoos (South Dakota), Tyler Braden (Tennessee) and Grant Knoche (Texas).
Following her performance, a video of fans cheering Jewel on from her hometown of Homer, Alaska came on-screen before hosts Kelly Clarkson and Snoop Dogg reacted to her song.
“That was such a cool song, I love that,” said Clarkson after her performance. “We all have plot twists.” She added, “I love her modulation. It went in all different places.”
Dogg added, “She is such a great storyteller. I love her swagger.”

Gold is still running on the war fumes, but its last moves bring to mind only bearish associations. Worse yet, a rising dollar appeared on the horizon.
On the technical front, we saw that the junior mining stocks moved higher in the first part of the session, but then declined and ended the day practically unchanged.
Why did junior miners rally initially? Perhaps for technical reasons. They were moving higher in their immediate-term trend, and thus, it might have been necessary for them to reach a resistance level before they could return to their downtrend.
Junior miners just found the resistance in the form of the declining line based on the previous March highs. After a tiny attempt to break above this line, the GDXJ declined and the breakout was invalidated, suggesting that the rally is over.
Now, the above-mentioned resistance line appears to be the upper border of the triangle pattern, which might concern you because triangles are usually a “continuation pattern”. In other words, the move that preceded the triangle is usually the type of move that follows it. The preceding move higher was up, so the following move could be to the upside as well.
However, for this to happen, junior miners would first need to confirm the breakout above the line, and we saw the opposite taking place yesterday – the breakout above the line was invalidated.
If – instead – we see a decline below the lower border of the triangle, the pattern would likely be followed by a decline. Please note that I wrote “usually” and now “always” with regard to the bullish implications of triangles.
If we look beyond the above chart, the bearish case is more justified than the bullish one.
I don’t mean just the extremely bearish situation in gold’s long-term chart, where it’s clear that gold is repeating its 2011-2013 performance, with the recent top being analogous to what we saw in 2012.
If it wasn’t for the Ukraine-war-tension-based rally, gold would have likely topped close to its current levels, which would be a perfect analogy to where it topped in 2012 – close to its preceding medium-term highs.
The fact that the RSI indicator moved lower recently after being close to 70 indicates that the top is already behind us.
If history is about to rhyme (and that’s very probable in my view), gold is likely to decline in a back-and-forth manner before it truly slides without looking back. Basically, that’s what we’ve been seeing recently. The recent consolidation is not a bullish development, but something in perfect tune with the extremely bearish pattern from 2012.
I don’t mean “just” the above, because we see similar analogies in silver and gold stocks (the HUI Index), and we get other indications (of more short-term nature) from the USD Index and the general stock market.
The technical picture of the S&P 500 index suggests that the final top and the initial corrective upswing are over.
The general stock market closed the week below its February highs, which means that the small breakout above them was invalidated. This is a very bearish indication for the following weeks. Many more investors are likely to become aware of the new interest-rate-hike-driven medium-term bear market once the S&P 500 breaks to new 2022 lows. That’s when the decline is likely to accelerate, quite likely also in silver and mining stocks that are usually most vulnerable to stock market moves.
Moreover, let’s keep in mind that the USD Index is likely to soar once again soon, triggering declines in the precious metals market.
In my previous analyses, I commented on the USD Index in the following way:
If we focus on the USD Index alone, we’ll see that yesterday’s decline was absolutely inconsequential with regard to changing the outlook for the USDX. It simply continues to consolidate after a breakout above the mid-2020 highs. Breakout + consolidation = increasing chances of rallies’ continuation. A big wave up in the USD Index is likely just around the corner, and the precious metal sector is likely to decline when it materializes.
As the war-based premiums in gold and the USD appear to be waning, a high-interest-rate-driven rally in the USD is likely to trigger declines in gold. The correlation between these two assets has started to decline. When that happened during the last two cases (marked with orange), gold plummeted profoundly shortly thereafter.
The USD Index rallied recently, once again clearly verifying the breakout above its mid-2020 high. This means that the USD Index is now likely ready to rally once again. Naturally, this has bearish implications for the precious metals sector.
All in all, technicals favor a decline in the precious metals sector sooner rather than later.

Sienna Miller Opened Up About How Playing A Wife Who’s Been Cheated On Helped Her Relive And Reclaim Her Humiliation 17 Years After Jude Law Admitted To Having An Affair With His Kids’ Nanny
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Sienna MillerBritish-American actress
- Jude LawEnglish actor
In a rare interview, Sienna Miller has reflected on how she reclaimed her humiliation after the emotional turmoil of Jude Law’s infamous cheating scandal in the 2000s.
But, before we get into it, let’s cast our minds back to 2003 for a reminder of exactly what went down.
So, Sienna and Jude met in 2003 while shooting the movie, Alfie. The duo hit it off instantly and wound up dating soon after, before eventually getting engaged on Christmas Day in 2004.
An important piece of context to note is that this was not Jude’s first public relationship. At the time he and Sienna met, Jude was in the midst of a divorce from his first wife, Sadie Frost, with whom he shares three children. Jude and Sadie were married for six years, and their divorce was ultimately finalized in October 2003.
And so, with his divorce from Sadie finally in the past, Jude and Sienna were well on their way to becoming Hollywood’s next it-couple. However, things quickly came tumbling down in July 2005 when it was alleged that 32-year-old Jude was cheating on Sienna with his kids’ nanny.
Reports of the affair first surfaced after the nanny in question, Daisy Wright, who was 26 at the time, opened up about her entanglement with Jude in an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mirror. As well as doing a tell all interview, she also handed over excerpts from her personal diary, where she documented the course of the affair in great detail.
Daisy alleged that Jude had seduced her while they were both based in New Orleans for one of his movie shoots. Her entries also claimed that one of the actor’s three children walked in on her and Jude while they were in bed together, which was supposedly how the children's mother, Sadie, became aware of the affair.
Unsurprisingly, Daisy lost her job shortly after speaking out about their relationship, and, just days later, Jude followed suit with a confession of his own.
In a shocking public apology provided to the British Press Association, the actor came clean about the affair and expressed regret over his actions.
“Following the reports in today’s papers, I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I’ve hurt Sienna and the people most close to us,” Jude said. “I want to publicly apologize to Sienna and our respective families for the pain that I have caused.”
He added: “There is no defense for my actions which I sincerely regret and I ask that you respect our privacy at this very difficult time.”
When the scandal broke, 23-year-old Sienna was starring in the West End theater production of Shakespeare's “As You Like It,” and has since opened up about navigating the emotional aftermath of Jude’s affair while performing in front of an audience seven days a week.
“That was one of the most challenging moments I hope I’ll ever have to experience. Because with that level of public heartbreak, to have to get out of a bed let alone stand in front of 800 people every night, it’s just the last thing you want to do,” she said during an interview with The Daily Beast in 2020. “It was really hard,” she added.
In the same interview, Sienna also revealed that the humiliation of the split took such a toll on her mental health that there was an entire six week period after Jude’s affair was exposed that she has absolutely “no recollection” of.
“There’s a whole six weeks of that experience that I don’t remember. I have no recollection of it,” she said. “People who came to see me said we had dinner, and I don’t remember. I was in so much shock over it all. And I’d really just begun. I was only 23. But if you get through that, you feel like you can get through anything.”
Despite the magnitude of their breakup, Sienna and Jude wound up rekindling their romance in 2009, before splitting up for good in 2011. The pair — who have both gone on to have children with new partners — seem to be on amicable terms, with Sienna revealing in 2016 that she has no hard feelings towards her ex.
“We don't see each other that much. I care about him enormously,” she told Porter Magazine.
And now, Sienna is back in the spotlight ahead of her role in a brand new Netflix show, Anatomy Of A Scandal — and it sounds like she utilized the lasting wounds of her very own scandal to bring her character to life.
Based on Sarah Vaughan’s novel of the same name, Sienna is set to portray Sophie Whitehouse, the wife of a politician whose world is tipped upside down after she discovers that her husband has been accused of raping a colleague with whom he’d had an affair.
Opening up about the role during a brand new interview with Elle UK, the actor reflected on how playing a cheated wife uprooted some “ugly” emotions from the past.
“It was familiar terrain, because I've experienced some of the things that she experienced. And the feelings were familiar,” she began, before comparing her character’s journey to her own lived experience. “[But] her way of dealing with what's thrown at her is the absolute antithesis of what my way is. And so, in a kind of twisted, tourism sense, I just wanted to see how it would feel to react differently.”
She went on to acknowledge that her outlook might be surprising to some given the trauma of her past experience, adding that exploring the character gave her an outlet to reclaim the humiliation of Jude’s betrayal.
“I know that sounds weird, because you’d think it would be deeply unpleasant to sit in that space,” Sienna said. “There is something cathartic, I suppose, about spending time in an ugly space that’s familiar. And maybe reclaiming it? I don’t know what the psychology of it is. But there is something where maybe you can substitute a memory with something else.”
But, in spite of the painful memories, it still seems like she thinks fondly of Jude, recalling the “magic” of their early relationship, before things unfortunately turned sour.
"I was just catapulted into a totally parallel universe while being in love [with Jude]," she said of her overnight transition into mainstream stardom. "There was a lot of magic at that time. At first, it was kind of comical, but very quickly it became insidious and, yeah, scary."

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The introduction differs slightly from tournament to tournament, though the general theme never changes.
“The defending Masters champion.”
Those words, or some version of them, have been what Hideki Matsuyama has heard on the first tee of whatever tournament he's played over the last year. And last week at the Valero Texas Open, the words seemed to resonate differently — because that’s when Matsuyama realized that his reign is about to end.
“It was a little sad,” Matsuyama said.
There’s one way to avoid that, of course: He just needs to successfully defend his Masters title, something nobody has done at Augusta National since Tiger Woods in 2002. Matsuyama, the first Japanese man to win a major championship, is hoping a balky neck that has been bothering him for a few weeks is good enough on Thursday to give him a legitimate chance of winning the Masters again.
He went 6 under in a seven-hole stretch of the back nine in the third round last year to take command, then held on with a final-round 73 to beat Will Zalatoris by a shot. Matsuyama has won twice more since: the Zozo Championship in Japan in October, then the Sony Open in Hawaii in January.
“It’s been a great year,” Matsuyama said. “It’s great to be back here at Augusta. I feel very proud and honored to be here as the defending champion. It’s been a great year with wins at Zozo and Sony. Last couple of weeks, though, have been a struggle. Hopefully I can find my game and be a worthy defending champion.”
That last part is the mystery. The neck has even him guessing.
The issue with the left side of his neck first presented itself during the second round at Bay Hill last month. He got through that tournament, tying for 20th, and went to Texas last week pain-free and feeling good for a couple of days.
Then came Wednesday, it stiffened up again and Matsuyama eventually withdrew.
“I haven’t really been able to hit a full shot, a 100% full shot in a long time, so that’s still a question,” Matsuyama said. “But I feel like the treatment I’ve been receiving is helping. I’m on the road to full recovery. ... I think by Thursday I’ll be ready to play my best, hopefully.”
He showed last year that his best is more than enough.
Matsuyama first came to Augusta National as an amateur in 2011, getting to the Masters after winning what was then called the Asian Amateur and is now called the Asia-Pacific Amateur. It’s a relatively new tournament, having been contested only 12 times and won by 10 men — three of whom are in this Masters field.
They all played a practice round together this week as well; Matsuyama was joined by reigning Asia-Pacific winner Keita Nakajima and 2018 winner Takumi Kanaya.
“Following the footsteps of Takumi Kanaya and Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama, it’s an honor to do that,” Nakajima said.
Matsuyama expected his playing partners to pepper him with questions about how to play this and that at Augusta National.
Turns out, he was the one driving the conversation.
“If I can be an inspiration to them, it makes me very happy,” Matsuyama said. “Hopefully last year’s Masters win will help inspire and encourage a lot of young people in Japan to take up golf and follow in my footsteps. ... I don’t know if they were bashful or what, but I was hoping to be able to talk more with them.”
Which, given Matsuyama’s penchant for privacy, is a bit of a surprising take. He’s polite in interviews, even smiling a bit and giving knowing nods when his best lines drew laughs after getting translated for largely English-speaking reporters on Tuesday, yet would never be described as an open book.
Matsuyama kept the menu for Tuesday night’s Masters Club Dinner — it’s more commonly called the Champions Dinner — largely under wraps until it was announced that morning. None of his selections was particularly surprising, especially since the theme was to celebrate the best of Japanese fare.
Sushi, sashimi and nigiri were to be served as appetizers, along with Yakitori — essentially meaning grilled — chicken skewers.
Miso-glazed black cod with a Japanese broth would be offered, as would the centerpiece: A5 Wagyu ribeye of beef, arguably the finest cut in the world, served with mushrooms and vegetables along with a sansho daikon ponzu, a sauce that gets a bit of a spicy kick from Japanese radishes.
For dessert, Japanese strawberry shortcake — sponge cake with Amaou strawberries, generally considered Japan’s best kind, ones that are typically available only through winter and some of spring in that country.
“I’m really looking forward to the Champions Dinner,” Matsuyama said.
It’ll provide him a chance to enjoy a perk that he’s rarely partaken in since winning the Masters. He’ll get to wear his green jacket.
Matsuyama carried the jacket — Masters winners get to take it off the Augusta National property for a year before it’s supposed to be returned — onto a commercial flight out of Atlanta the day after winning it a year ago. He tends not to wear it. He’s even leery of sending it out for dry cleaning.
“I thought about it and it needed to be cleaned, but I just was so worried that something might happen to it,” Matsuyama said. “So I didn’t want to let it out of my sight. I just spent a year looking at it. I haven’t really worn it that much, but I look at it a lot. And now I wish I would have worn it more.”
The introduction on tee boxes changes now. The jacket gets returned. He'll drape one over the shoulders of a new champion Sunday.
That is, unless he wins the Masters again.

Patients can now pay any medical provider using their credit, debit or HSA/FSA card through the PayGround mobile app, powered by Plastiq Connect
GILBERT, Ariz., April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PayGround, a healthcare fintech payments platform, has partnered with Plastiq, a smart payments platform that enables businesses to better manage payments and cash flow, to expand the payment options available to patients through the PayGround Digital Wallet.
PayGround introduced its app in December 2021 with ACH payment capabilities. With the integration of Plastiq Connect into the PayGround healthcare payments mobile app, patients can now pay any healthcare provider through their preferred method. Options include their bank account, their flexible spending account (FSA) and healthcare spending account (HSA), or via a credit card or debit card — all from one location inside the PayGround Digital Wallet.
"Making healthcare payments to multiple providers is a fact of life for most people, and it can get complicated. But it shouldn't be," says PayGround CEO and co-founder Drew Mercer. "We designed the app to make it easy to securely store payment methods within a PayGround Digital Wallet, so they can be easily accessed again in the future. My family likes to use our HSA card to pay medical expenses, and now with PayGround's partnership with Plastiq, we can do that through the PayGround mobile app."
All a patient needs to do is search for their provider in the app, add their payment amount and select their payment method. Additional benefits of the app include the ability to pay all providers for a single family from one account, reduce the time and hassle of sorting through medical bills and track payments via an easy-to-understand dashboard.
"The healthcare industry is long overdue for a change," says Illya Shell, Head of Integrated Partnerships for Plastiq. "PayGround is making that change happen by allowing patients to manage and pay all of their healthcare bills in one place and have the ability to pay with a credit card or bank account, whatever best suits their purpose, regardless of how their provider ultimately gets paid. Plastiq is thrilled to be a partner in this mission. Working together, we can create a better bill pay experience for patients everywhere."
