How brilliant is record-breaking Lyon captain Wendie Renard?
Friday 1 April 2022
Article summary
The holder of many UEFA Women's Champions League records: we salute Lyon and France defender Wendie Renard.
Article top media content
Article body
If one image sums up the decade since the UEFA Women's Champions League came into being, it is the towering Wendie Renard lifting the trophy.
She has done it as Lyon captain for five seasons in a row and has played in nine finals and won seven titles overall since the UEFA Women's Cup rebrand in 2009/10. Indeed, the only other person who can match both those feats in Europe's premier women's or men's club competitions is Renard's own long-time club and country colleague Sarah Bouhaddi.
On top of that, in 2020 Renard was selected in the top ten of the UEFA Women's Player of the Year award for a record seventh time and finally made the shortlist of three, being named the first UEFA Women's Champions League Defender of the Season.
We salute a player who has made more UEFA women's club competition appearances than anyone else, and a defender who features in the all-time top 20 for goals scored.
What they say
"Wendie Renard is an exceptional player. Wendie cannot be categorised and cannot be replaced."
Jean-Luc Vasseur, Lyon coach
"I don't think there's anyone quite like her in the women’s game."
Maren Mjelde, Chelsea and Norway player
"I don't think all the media or public are sufficiently aware of the impact that Wendie Renard can have on a game, by her quality of play, her leadership qualities and her professionalism. I leaned on Wendie and it was not easy because she has a hell of a personality and we didn't always agree, but we had a common goal."
Gérard Prêcheur, former Lyon coach
"She is a young woman who suffered a lot when she was young, who lost her father when she was eight. She was a little disoriented when she arrived at Lyon. She was able to climb the ladder and earn her place with great athletic qualities and a lot of personality. Today she is for me the best defender in the world."
Jean-Michel Aulas, Lyon president
Claims to fame
Lyon
• Renard is from the Caribbean French territory of Martinique, the youngest of four daughters.
• The teenage Renard flew to mainland France for a trial at the national-team academy in Clairefontaine; she was not successful but got on a train to Lyon and earned a contract there ("It was destiny," she later wrote), joining when she was 16 in 2006.
• Renard soon broke into the team, playing twice in their first French title-winning season of 2006/07 and becoming a regular in the following campaign, playing in OL's debut UEFA Women's Cup game against Slovan Duslo Šala on 9 August 2007.
• Renard at centre-back has been the fulcrum in Lyon's rise from ambitious French league hopefuls to the dominant club in European football over the last decade, taking over as captain in 2013.
• She is the club's appearance record holder and sixth in their all-time goalscoring list, notably providing an aerial threat at set pieces – as with Lyon's first-ever goal in a Women's Champions League final when they defeated Turbine Potsdam 2-0 in London in 2011.
• So far during Renard's time at Lyon, along with their seven Women's Champions League successes, they have claimed 14 straight French league titles and nine French Cups alongside several other invitational tournament victories. She has been captain for most of them, including the current run of five Champions League final wins in a row (also being selected in the official UEFA squad of the season on all five occasions and named the first UEFA Women's Champions League Defender of the Season in 2020/21).
• She started 2021 with an incredible scoring streak: her penalty for the 1-0 Women's Champions League quarter-final first-leg win at Paris made it nine goals in nine games for club and country.
• Lyon ended up losing their European and French titles while later in 2021 Renard suffered injury but she returned in full force in 2022.
France
• She might not have got into Clairefontaine but Renard soon earned a place in the France youth set-up, playing at the 2008 and 2009 UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship final tournaments as well as the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
• Renard's senior debut came on 2 March 2011 against Switzerland in the Cyprus Women's Cup and by that summer's FIFA Women's World Cup, where they reached the semi-finals, she was established as a regular in central defence, which she remains.
• She captained her country between 2013 and 2017.
• Renard was named in the official squads of the tournament at both UEFA Women's EURO 2013 and the 2015 World Cup.
• Renard got three goals for the hosts at the 2019 World Cup, and although she is not yet in France's top ten appearance-makers, the defender ranks tenth among their all-time scorers.
What you might not know
• She was watching the French women's team play on television in Martinique when Marinette Pichon came on the screen. Renard told her mother, "One day, you'll see me on TV wearing that jersey."
• When asked at school what she wanted to do for a living, her two choices were professional football player and flight attendant. Her teacher made her cross out the word professional, explaining, "That job doesn't exist."
• Renard finished seventh and sixth in the voting for the first two women's Ballons d'Or in 2018 and 2019, both times the highest-ranked central defender. Also in the top 20 in 2021.
What she says
"It was rare for girls to play football in Martinique, so it was even rarer that it was the women in my family who pushed me to play. They were the ones who loved football as much as me. My aunt was a referee on the island. My mum played a little and watched matches all the time. So when my sisters and I got into fights about the TV, I always had the judge on my side."
"I joined [Lyon] at a really young age, and I met players who naturally had that [winning] DNA, so you gradually begin to learn. Training sessions are war; you play a little training match and you want to win. You progress by mixing with great players, players who hate losing, and even coaches who drum it into you. When a coach keeps telling you to win, win, win, win, you can't go thinking about losing, losing, losing."
On Lyon's first UEFA mini-tournament in North Macedonia in 2007... "I remember we played hide-and-seek in the hotel. Some of us even hid on the hotel roof. A wedding was taking place in the hotel and the forfeit was to give a kiss to the bride and groom. I don't remember who had to do it! It was good fun. We would meet and play in the corridors. After winning our three games we went to the hotel pool, where music was playing. We just relished the moment since it was the first time the club had got through to the next round."
“We have equalled this record [Real Madrid's five European titles in a row] but now we have to go for the sixth to beat it. I'm never full; you can count on me to be there next year."
"Growing up, I had this objective of winning titles, but more importantly of succeeding in mainland France. I'm enjoying the moment but I know I need to keep being self-demanding, as it can all vanish if I make a mistake. I'm aware of my development but I achieved that within a team and with fully committed people. We did this together and it's not over yet. I'll keep writing history."
What she might achieve yet
• With Lyon, all Renard can do is extend the records she and they already hold: she is one away from 100 UEFA Women's Champions League appearances.
• France, on the other hand, are yet to reach a major final despite having had so much talent to call upon, not least Renard and her Lyon colleagues. UEFA Women's EURO 2022 in England and the 2023 World Cup in Australia are her next chances.

Empty Canals, Dead Cotton Fields: Arizona Farmers Are Getting Slammed by Water Cuts in the West
On the drought-stricken land where Pinal County farmers have irrigated crops for thousands of years, Nancy Caywood stopped her pickup truck along an empty canal and pointed to a field of dead alfalfa.

The world still has time to avoid the most extreme dangers of climate change, but only if nations cut greenhouse gas pollution much faster from nearly every aspect of human activity, according to a landmark international climate science report.
The technology and solutions are available to rein in emissions, but the world is rapidly running out of time to deploy them, the report notes.
"It's now or never," says Jim Skea, professor of sustainable energy at Imperial College London and one of the co-chairs overseeing the report. "Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible. "
The report issued on Monday is the latest by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a United Nations body that brings together the world's researchers to assess the prevailing science on planetary warming. The new report looks at worldwide efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and recommends next steps to keep global average temperatures from rising to catastrophic levels.
Nations and industries need to make faster, deeper cuts to heat-trapping pollution. Average annual greenhouse gasses in the last decade were the highest in human history, which means the world is not on track to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit), the report says. With warming beyond that level, the planet will see increasingly dangerous heat waves, floods and storms that would affect millions of people, especially the most vulnerable.
As a crucial near-term step, "substantial reduction" in the use of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas would need to happen, the report finds. By 2050, low-carbon energy like solar and wind power will need to supply the majority of the world's energy.
Experts say this report, part of a scientific assessment done roughly every seven years by the IPCC, is likely the last to be published while the key goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is still possible.
The report's final summary was adopted after marathon negotiations among the 195 member countries of the IPCC. Some countries wanted to see more support for fossil fuel use in developing countries, as well as larger demands on developed nations to reduce emissions. Industrialized nations are the biggest emitters of greenhouse gasses, with the United States being the largest polluter over time.
The report builds on the dire warnings of two others also released in the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report. The first documented how heat-trapping emissions from burning fossil fuels were the "unequivocal" cause of rising temperatures. The second, released in late February, showed how billions of people around the globe are at risk of more extreme disasters.
This latest report comes amidst a renewed push for oil and gas drilling, as the war in Ukraine drives a spike in oil prices. Carbon emissions already roared back to their highest levels ever in 2021, rebounding after a decline during the pandemic.
"The truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels," U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said in a speech. "Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness."
#1 - Grow renewable energy. It's cheap enough
The report lays out what scientists consider to be the most effective steps to reducing emissions fast. The clearest is accelerating the use of renewable energy and cutting fossil fuels. The cost of solar energy has plummeted by 85 percent since 2010, according to the report. Batteries have fallen by the same amount, a key technology for storing solar and wind power so it can be used when it's dark or the wind isn't blowing.
That makes low-carbon energy sources more economically viable than fossil fuels in many cases, the report finds. They also improve public health, since renewable energy doesn't produce air pollution. Still, renewables are not being deployed fast enough, especially in developing countries.
In order to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the world's energy supply would need to reach net-zero as soon as 2050, which means if the sector is still producing emissions, those emissions are captured in some way before reaching the atmosphere. That's because other areas, like heavy industry and transportation, would likely take longer to fully cut their emissions.
Continuing the world's existing fossil fuel energy projects at their current pace, as well as developing new ones, puts the energy sector nowhere near that necessary trajectory. The emissions from fossil fuel use would be almost double the amount needed to keep warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. And as renewable energy grows, trillions of dollars of fossil fuel infrastructure risks becoming "stranded", or worthless, as governments shift to cleaner energy sources.
"The sobering conclusion is that, although we have all the tools we need, emissions would need to decrease immediately and at a much larger scale than they have been," Stephanie Roe, one of the lead authors of the IPCC report and Global Climate and Energy Lead Scientist at the World Wildlife Fund.
#2 - We'll probably need to suck carbon emissions out of the air
Even if the world rapidly transforms where its energy comes from, some aspects of modern life will take longer to shift from fossil fuel use, like airplanes, shipping and heavy industry. Gas-powered cars being bought today will also remain on the road for potentially decades.
New technology could eventually transition those industries and vehicles away from fossil fuels. But the delay means that to avoid extreme warming, countries and companies will likely have to remove some of the carbon dioxide emissions that are already in the atmosphere, the report finds.
The most tried and tested method uses Mother Nature. Plants and soils are carbon sponges. So restoring forests and wetlands can help soak up emissions, providing a relatively low cost way of making up for emissions from other sources.
The report also points to more cutting-edge approaches, like using technology to suck carbon emissions directly from the air. That process could potentially use large amounts of energy, which would negate its climate usefulness. Some climate activists also worry it could amount to a free pass for the fossil fuel industry to keep operating and pumping out greenhouse gas emissions. The technology has a long way to go before it could make a large impact on the atmosphere, the report concludes.
#3 - Your decisions matter to slowing climate change
Changing the way humans work, live and eat in cities and buildings can have a major impact on reducing emissions, as much as 40 to 70 percent in some of those sectors, the report finds.
The report is not just talking about recycling. Redesigning and zoning cities so people live closer to where they work and can walk and bike could reduce transportation emissions by as much as a third, the report says. Electric cars that are charged with renewable energy from the grid would reduce fossil fuel use. Making buildings more energy efficient and using renewable energy like solar has a decades-long impact.
With many cities around the world still growing and urbanizing, building in a sustainable way is especially important in developing countries, the report finds. Cities are vulnerable to flooding and air pollution, as well as extreme heat waves made worse by the way pavement absorbs heat.
"There is a really amazing role that we can play, not just as consumers, but also as professionals," Roe says. "If you're a builder, if you're an urban planner, if you're an influencer or a role model, you have a role to play. And it's not about individual actions necessarily. It's about individual actions that make cascading impacts across society."

Tribute paid to Chinese martyrs of KKH
ISLAMABAD, Apr 5 (DNA): Officials and locals from Gilgit-Baltistan paid tribute to Chinese workers and engineers who lost their lives about 50 years ago in the construction of Karakoram Highway (KKH).
According to Gwadar Pro, the “April 4, National Mourning Day” was organised by Overseas Chinese Association Gilgit Baltistan (OCAGB). Officials, local notables and students were gathered at “China Yadgar”, the Chinese cemetery, located in Danyor, about 10 kilometers away from Gilgit city across the Gilgit Giver.
The officials, locals and students laid floral wreaths on the graves of Chinese workers and engineers who laid their lives in the construction of KKH, also known as the Eighth Wonder of the World.
Poems eulogizing the sacrifices and Chinese and Pakistani workers who laid their lives in the construction were also played.
“Fifty-four Chinese are buried in the cemetery; every year on April 4, we pay tribute to the Chinese workers and engineers at China Yadgar,” said Ali Ahmad Jan, a local from Gilgit, adding “China and Pakistan’s friendship is a perfect example of one soul and two bodies. We are together at grief and happiness”.
“Due to China’s sacrifices, today our KKH is linked with China. This road is an integral part of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC),” said an official. He said that China has always stood by Pakistan’s side at critical times.
“Grave-keepers of the Chinese martyrs of the cemetery in Gilgit were honored by the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China and by OCAGB,” according to a statement of OCAGB.

Since it was launched in spring of last year, Drew Barrymore's line Beautiful has revitalized the kitchenware and appliances market and proven that pretty and practical can coexist, thank you very much. And the best part? Everything is incredibly budget friendly.
Adding to the extensive list of pieces the line carries, stand mixers were just added, and, true to the brand's form, they ring in at just $129. At first glance, that might seem a bit much for a kitchen appliance, but when you consider that similar high-quality mixers can cost up to $500, that price looks as good as the mixer does.
In addition to the launch of the mixers, Beautiful also released a new blue cornflower colorway for all the products just in time for spring baking. Added to the neutral palette of Black Sesame, Oyster Grey, and White Icing, the new color is a beautiful complement alongside the Sage Green hue.
It's not the first time Drew has launched a new release from the line that made our jaws drop. Earlier this year, Beautiful released a heart-shaped Dutch oven just in time for Valentine's Day, but perfectly suitable to use any time of year as far as we're concerned.
As with everything in the line, you can only find the stand mixer and the new colorway at Walmart, online and in store. Also like everything in this line, we don't expect these to last long. After all, the aforementioned heart-shaped Dutch oven sold out when it was still on preorder.

Which sports water bottles are best?
Sports water bottles have durable designs that withstand heavy use, whether you exercise indoors or out. They’re also equipped with a wealth of convenient features, ranging from insulation to rugged construction. The Iron Flask Sports Water Bottle, for example, has double-wall insulation and chills beverages for up to 24 hours, and it even keeps hot beverages warm for up to 12 hours.
What to know before you buy a sports water bottle
What is a sports water bottle?
Sports water bottles are equipped with handy features for athletes and active people. Many runners and cyclists, for example, choose designs with reflective details that boost their visibility to drivers. Bottles with wrist straps or loops that can be attached to backpacks or belts are excellent for camping, hiking or fishing. Insulated water bottles are popular for hot weather use because they keep drinks cold hours longer than regular water bottles.
Top beverages for sports water bottles
Besides water, you can fill your bottle with other clear beverages, such as sports drinks or iced tea. Certain sports water bottles also hold hot beverages, particularly coffee or hot chocolate. However, sports water bottles aren’t great for thick or chunky drinks because they can clog straws or sipping mechanisms.
What to look for in a quality sports water bottle
Capacity
Generally speaking, sports water bottles hold 12-64 ounces of liquid. The most common sizes, however, are 20-32 ounces.
When choosing the best bottle capacity, keep in mind that the higher its capacity, the larger the bottle will be. While it might seem obvious, the size may impact how convenient it is.
High-capacity water bottles often have stout bases that won’t fit inside cupholders. They’re also bulkier, heavier and harder to pack. Lower-capacity bottles that are tall and slender might be too thin to fit securely inside cupholders and will pop out of them during sharp turns or when you hit the brakes.
Bottle material
The most common sports water bottle materials are plastic, stainless steel, aluminum and glass.
- Plastic: Plastic bottles are lightweight, flexible and affordable. With that said, plastic bottles have shorter lifespans than other materials.
- Stainless steel: Stainless steel is the most durable option, and unlike plastic, it won’t affect the taste of water or other beverages. However, stainless steel is heavy and expensive.
- Aluminum: Aluminum has a sleek, modern appearance, and it’s notably lighter than stainless steel. However, because it can react to certain liquids, most aluminum bottles have epoxy or resin protective linings.
- Glass: Glass is easy to clean and stain-resistant, but you won’t find too many sports water bottles made of glass. They’re prone to cracks and chips, and they’re rarely, if ever, designed with insulation.
Opening design
Sports water bottles have several types of openings, including twist-off lids, flip-up straws and push spouts. Certain bottles have more than one opening for flexible drinking options, but the designs aren’t flawless. Many of these bottles are prone to leaking, including when they’re tightly closed. However, there are a growing number of multi-opening bottles that are leakproof with sealing mechanisms.
How much you can expect to spend on sports water bottle
Basic sports water bottles without insulation or sipping mechanisms cost $15 and below. Designs from $20-$30 include bottles with premium features such as leakproof seams, insulation and rugged construction. The $35-$60 range includes sports water bottles geared toward heavy-duty outdoor use.
Sports water bottle FAQ
How do I clean a sports water bottle?
A. Unless otherwise specified, most sports water bottles can be cleaned with gentle dish soap. Certain bottles require hand washing, whereas others are dishwasher-safe. Sports water bottles with narrow openings can be cleaned with bottle brushes, such as those used for cleaning wine glasses or baby bottles.
Can I recycle old sports water bottles?
A. It depends. Plastic water bottles are marked on the bottom if they’re recyclable. Most curbside recycling programs won’t recycle stainless steel or aluminum water bottles, and instead, you’ll need to bring it to a scrap metal yard. Otherwise, you can repurpose the metal bottle as a vase, mini herb garden or watering can.

With travel firmly back on the agenda again after an uncertain couple of years, packing up to head away has never felt more exciting.
Women’s wash bags are the best bet for carrying make-up, skincare, toiletries, accessories, and even loose electricals. Whether you’re taking a trip or organising the bathroom cabinet, they come in different shapes and sizes.
When it comes to picking one, potential choices include hanging wash bags that open to reveal a selection of pockets, vanity cases for storing a full make-up collection and classic zip-up offerings.
The material matters too, from vegan-friendly leather wash bags to soft fabric offerings, in bright shades, patterns, or neutral tones, depending on your style preference.
To help you choose which type is best for you, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide, covering wash bags suiting every need.

Their Nibs cosmetic bag set, pink Mardi Gras
Best: Overall
Rating: 10/10
This eye-catching wash bag duo includes a large and small zip-up option in the vibrant pink, floral and peacock feather Mardi Gras print. The biggest bag is 18cm x 28cm x 5cm and easily stores at least five 100ml bottles, or multiple miniature items. Meanwhile, we used its matching pouch for lipstick, eyeliner, and hair scrunchies.
The pretty satin-effect bags are machine washable and they both have a durable lining featuring Their Nibs branding, which we found quickly wipes clean. Our tester liked that the stunning print is combined with design practicality at a reasonable price. Between the two wash bags, we could pack plenty of toiletries, makeup, and accessories, and particularly enjoyed having a twin pair for travelling.

Otis Batterbee makeup vanity bag, camel tiger
Best: Vanity case wash bag
Rating: 10/10
This medium-sized (21cm x 17cm x 15cm) vanity case is made from vegan-friendly leather and features a glam animal print design. Straightaway we noticed how well made it looks and feels, with finishing touches including a chic top handle. There are four small pockets inside with popper fastening details as well as a separate lid pocket and detachable make-up mirror. Our tester used these clever compartments for hair clips, lipstick, and jewellery.
We found we could fit multiple bottles of perfume, foundation, and skincare in the main inner, which is waterproof to protect against make-up spills. All in all, this is a stunning carry case wash bag, with a structured shape much like a luxury handbag.

Fiils travel wash bag with rose gold minis
Best: Sustainable buy
Rating: 9/10
A useful buy for taking liquids away with you, this stylish silver vegan leather wash bag is made from recycled materials and includes four refillable 100ml aluminium bottles. Plus, a removable insert to stand them up in, and the option of pump or screw-top caps. There are three bottle colours to choose between including silver, copper, and the sleek rose gold we sampled.
We used this wash bag both with the bottles in and without, to keep nail varnish, make-up, or other cosmetics. There’s a zip pocket for secure inside storage too. Each bottle is named for use, across shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion picks, but we also found them handy to hold toner, cleanser, and make-up remover on the go.

M&S hanging make-up bag, blue
Best: Affordable buy
Rating: 9/10
This vegan leather hanging wash bag is available in coral and sage, as well as the powdery light blue shade we chose. It unfolds to reveal two transparent zipped pockets and a detachable make-up bag held in place by Velcro, which is a generous size for multiple full-sized products. A silver hook at the top enables hanging so we could see and store our products at the same time.
The dimensions when folded are 20cm x 28cm, with the length growing to 56.5cm after opening. We appreciated being able to compartmentalise packing, keeping our phone charger in a separate section to skincare. The sturdy gold zips and textured leather-look finish make the wash bag appear more expensive than its £15 price tag too.

The White Company leather wash bag, white
Best: Luxury buy
Rating: 9/10
This spacious white leather wash bag is 18cm x 28cm x 14.5cm and has a strong zip closure. Our tester took the sturdy bag away for a weekend and packed several items inside, including glasses, contact lens solution, hair products, face wash, a toothbrush, perfume, and an electric shaver. We also found the extra inside pocket ideal for popping in lipsticks, and hair ties.
We think this is a timeless wash bag option, which has a luxury feel. It’s robust, without being stiff, so it can be squeezed into a jam-packed suitcase too. And although it has a premium price tag, the high-quality leather and stitching look like they would last well for years to come.

Whistles Lenni quilted nylon wash bag, dark grey
Best: For space
Rating: 9/10
This roomy washbag is 21cm x 32cm x 12cm and includes a black looped handle for hanging up and a sturdy zip fastening. Our tester liked the hardy dark grey nylon outer that doesn’t mark easily and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The tactile quilted finish adds a stylish edge, and we can see dual purpose clutch bag potential too.
There’s a separate grey inner lining, and a slight stiffness so the wash bag holds its shape well. We could fit a large hairbrush and several full-sized shampoo, conditioner, and skincare products inside with ease. Plus, because the bag has a wide base, the zip wasn’t stretched even when full of toiletries.

Rawr Beauty terry towel cosmetic bag, pink
Best: Fun wash bag
Rating: 8/10
This bright pink terry towel wash bag is a small square shape with a gold zip fastening. At just over 20cm in length, there is enough room to store a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a few cosmetics. As it’s lined with quite a thick polyester inner, we found the terry towelling didn’t get wet from toothbrush sogginess either. The wipe-clean pouch worked equally well for storing a full stash of make-up on the move, without being bulky in our bag. Its bold shade and towelling texture add an uplifting summery vibe too.

FatFace bee print wash bag
Best: Fore make-up
Rating: 8/10
This navy blue (19cm x 9cm x 10.5cm) wash bag features a cute bee print and tassel zip detail. The outer composition is 100 per cent cotton, while its lining is polyester, which we found was durable against spills. As the shape is long and slim, our tester mostly used this wash bag for make-up, while bottles and tubes were well protected in transit, as the material and structure are quite tough. There’s also more than enough space for holding lipstick, foundation, mascara, eyeliner, an eyelash curler, a small eyeshadow palette, and blusher inside, with plenty of room to spare.

Aromatherapy Associates iconic wash bag
Best: Vegan-friendly wash bag
Rating: 8/10
A classic cream wash bag made from vegan leather, finishing touches include gold Aromatherapy Associates branding and a raised metal logo. The curved washbag has a 20cm length and 17cm height and is fully lined. This is an ideal option if you prefer muted accessories minus any print. Plus, we noted that any spills easily wiped off the cream material. Our tester put skincare products, perfume, or travel-sized haircare in the small wash bag, with their volume deciding how many would fit. As a rough guide, we slotted four 100ml bottles in comfortably.

Barbour quilted wash bag
Best: Soft wash bag
Rating: 8/10
This soft material wash bag of (15cm x 24cm x 4cm) lies flat when not in use for compact storage. The stitched quilted design features a chic pink check print, and logo branding on the front and zip. There’s a contrasting plain interior, and the material is polyester throughout. Although wiped clean, our tester was careful not to mark it too much because of the pale pink shade. We stored the wash bag in our hand luggage on a trip, for holding lipstick, hair accessories, and hand cream. Alternatively, we could fit several small skincare bottles in there too.

The Flat Lay Co. open flat drawstring make-up bag, tropical leaves print
Best: For quick access
Rating: 8/10
This nifty wash bag design comes in different colours and prints, including the green, gold, and the white tropical leaves one we chose. When opened – as the name suggests – it lies completely flat, so we could access all our products at once. There’s an internal zip-up pocket, and elasticated loops to hold mascara or make-up brushes, as well as a hanging hook.
Once full, we pulled the drawstring fastening and watched it quickly scoop up all our items. On the outside, there are two Velcro-fastening pockets for storage without unravelling everything. We appreciated the perk of grabbing products in a rush from this lightweight wash bag, minus any rifling through.

MERIDEN — A man was charged Sunday afternoon with speeding a car into the pumps at a Meriden gas station and causing a fire, according to the police department.
Police were called to the report of a crash and fire at a gas station on Cook Avenue. Police discovered a reckless driver was passing vehicles on the wrong side of the road while traveling south on Cook Avenue.
The vehicle lost control, veered out of the lane and into the parking lot of the gas station before striking the gas pumps, the Meriden Police Department said in a release Tuesday.
The surveillance footage shows a dark-colored vehicle driving at a high speed just before 1 p.m. Sunday. Though it missed the first row of pumps, it crashed into the second pair, causing flames to erupt in the car’s wake, the footage shows.
Police said there were no injuries reported from the incident.
The driver was charged with reckless driving, traveling unreasonably fast and unsafe passing. He was held on a $2,500 bond and is scheduled to appear in court April 18.

LEOMINSTER, Mass. (AP) — Residents of a Massachusetts city turned out in force Tuesday for the funeral of a U.S. Marine officer who died last month during a NATO training exercise in Norway and was known for his infectious smile and commitment to serve.
Capt. Ross Reynolds' casket was transported from Leominster City Hall to St. Cecilia's Church by a horse-drawn carriage and escorted by a contingent of Marines and city Boy Scouts.
Hundreds of residents carrying U.S. flags lined the streets and gathered outside the church where the private funeral was held.
Reynolds' family, including his wife of about two months, appreciated the support, Leominster Mayor Dean Mazzarella said.
“As tough as it was, I think they really wanted to make sure this was respectful, dignified and a celebration of life," he said.
The funeral service was followed by a private burial at the Massachusetts Memorial Veterans’ Cemetery in Winchendon.
“Ross is fondly remembered for his infectious smile, that lit up every room he walked into,” his family said in his obituary.
Reynolds, 27, was an Osprey pilot and one of four Marines killed when their aircraft crashed March 18 during a NATO drill in a Norwegian town in the Arctic Circle.
The others who died were Capt. Matthew Tomkiewicz, of Fort Wayne, Indiana.; Gunnery Sgt. James Speedy, of Cambridge, Ohio; and Cpl. Jacob Moore, of Catlettsburg, Kentucky.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but Norwegian police reported bad weather in the area. Officials in Norway said the MV-22B Osprey crashed in Graetaedalen in Beiarn, south of Bodoe.
The men were assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261, Marine Aircraft Group 26, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing stationed at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina.
Reynolds is survived by his wife, parents and a sister.

The number of world billionaires dropped by 87 in 2022, with 2,688 people maintaining a global net worth of $12.7 trillion, down from last year’s $13.1 trillion, according to an annual ranking from Forbes.
But the number of billionaires in the US has grown to 725 people, worth a combined $4.7 trillion, or roughly one-third of all billionaire wealth in the world.
Eight of the top 10 wealthiest people in the world on the Forbes list – Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Larry Ellison and Steve Ballmer – are all in the US, with a combined wealth of more than $1 trillion.
A total of 329 people dropped off the list in 2022, the most in a single year since the 2009 financial crisis, according to Forbes.
The 36th annual ranking – relying on a snapshot of wealth using stock prices and currency exchange rates, as of 11 March – reveals that despite volatile stock markets and the economic fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic, “more than 1,000 billionaires got wealthier over the past year,” according to Forbes assistant managing editor of wealth Kerry Dolan.
The top 20 wealthiest people in the world are worth a combined $2 trillion, alone, up from $1.8 trillion in 2021.
Within the first year of the pandemic, the world’s billionaires added more than $5 trillion to their wealth, with the richest 2,755 people on earth amassing more than $13 trillion, according to Forbes.
Despite the public health crisis and a global economic fallout leaving millions of people unemployed, the annual list grew roughly 30 per cent between 2020 and 2021, with 86 per cent of the world’s wealthiest people growing wealthier than they were the previous year.
Within that time, a new billionaire emerged every 17 hours on average, Forbes found.
Forbes began publishing its annual assessment in 1987, when the world’s billionaires’ combined wealth reached more than $295bn.
Over the following 35 years, that figure exploded by more than 45 times.
In 1987, the world’s richest man was Yoshiaki Tsutsumi of the Seibu Railway Group, whose net worth totalled $20bn.
Mr Gates entered the number one spot in 1995 with a net worth of $12.9bn. By the end of the decade, that figure reached more than $90bn. When he stepped down in 2000, his net worth fell to $60bn, still more than five times his net worth just five years earlier.
Now-former Amazon president Bezos was listed as the world’s wealthiest man since 2018. He was ousted by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Musk in 2022, 10 years after making his first appearance on the list, when he debuted in 2012 with an estimated net worth of $2bn.
Today, Mr Musk is estimated to be $68bn richer than just one year ago alone, with an estimated net worth of $219bn.
A 2022 report from Fight Inequality Alliance, Institute for Policy Studies, Oxfam and Patriotic Millionaires found than an annual wealth tax among the wealthiest US households – with rates at 2 per cent over $5m, 3 per cent over $50m and 5 per cent over $1bn – would raise more than $928bn.
A more progressive annual wealth tax at 10 per cent on wealth over $1bn would raise more than $1.3 trillion.
Such revenue “could raise the government’s health budget by a third or it could eliminate half of US households’ out-of-pocket health costs,” according to the report.
US billionaires own half a billion more in wealth than the bottom 60 per cent of the country, the report found.

Hungary’s ultra-conservative prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has preserved his two-thirds super majority in the country’s parliamentary elections. Orbán faced a coalition of six major opposition parties, who made the historic decision to run together under the United for Hungary coalition.
Participating parties spanned the political spectrum, including the green LMP (Magyarország Zöld Pártja), the social-democratic MZSP (Magyar Szocialista Párt) and DK (Demokratikus Koalíció), the liberal Momentum, and the far right Jobbik party. The results of the election serve as a lesson on why opposition parties need to be careful about who they partner with to topple a leader like Orbán.
This coalition of strange bedfellows was led by Péter Márki-Zay, a Christian conservative independent politician who, in 2018, became the mayor of the town of Hódmezővásárhely after receiving the support of a similar coalition.
Orbán’s Fidesz party won by a significant margin, while the United for Hungary opposition coalition received just 35% of the vote. This was down 11.5 points compared to the total support received when the coalition partners ran separately in 2018.
While Orbán’s victory is conclusive, these elections took place on an uneven playing field that benefits Fidesz. Orbán and his circle have the control of the overwhelming majority of the media. During the election campaign, opposition parties were only granted five minutes of television air time – the legal minimum. Fidesz has also used government funds and platforms for its political campaign, including sending political messages to people who had signed up for COVID jabs.
The election results give Orbán’s party a free hand to change the constitution and appoint any state officials, allowing him to continue in his illiberal democracy project. Currently, no major democracy index, including those from the Varieties of Democracy Institute, the Economist and Freedom House classify Hungary as a full democracy.
A look at the opposition support from 2018
Our data from the ProDem project – a research project looking at how democracy has changed in Europe – shows that the United for Hungary ticket did not motivate voters equally across parties.
With the public opinion company YouGov, we surveyed 2,051 Hungarians between February 21 and March 3, asking them about their previous and planned vote. Overall, we found that one-third of those who voted for opposition parties in 2018 did not plan to support the coalition in the 2022 elections.
Supporters of the two social democratic parties, MSZP and DK, seemed to be the most convinced about the United for Hungary ticket. But this was not the case for all opposition backers. A whopping 29% of people who declared to have voted for Momentum in 2018 and 26% of people who voted for LMP that year said that they planned to abstain in 2022.
The least keen were supporters of the far right Jobbik party – only one in two planned to vote for the coalition when we surveyed them. Moreover, 15% of Jobbik voters planned to vote for the far right Our Homeland movement (Mi Hazánk), which splintered off from Jobbik in 2018. This probably explains the surprising performance of this new party in the elections – Mi Hazánk received 6.3% support and will be represented in parliament for the first time, with seven seats.
Transfer from 2018 vote to voter intention 2022
The efforts to accommodate Jobbik in the United for Hungary project prevented opposition parties from having a comprehensive policy agenda, limiting their message to opposing Orbán and the blatant corruption of his government. As our data found, notable proportions of Jobbik supporters disagree with the rest of the coalition’s voters on central issues in Hungarian politics.
One such issue is LGBTQ+ rights, which Orbán has worked to oppose as part of his policy agenda. We asked survey respondents about one particular issue, that of whether same-sex couples should be permitted to adopt children. Our data found that while fewer than 10% of supporters of most of the opposition parties were opposed to this policy, this proportion is three times bigger among voters who supported Jobbik in 2018.
Opposition voters on LGBTQ+ rights
Similarly, a sizeable proportion of Jobbik voters see migrants less favourably than supporters of the other opposition coalition parties. Our data found that 34% of Jobbik voters agree with the statement that migrants make Hungary a worse place to live, while only an average of 15% of supporters of other parties shared that view.
Opposition voter attitudes towards migrants
The European Union was another key issue in this election. While a majority of those who voted for MSZP, DK, Momentum and LMP in 2018 broadly trust the EU, this is not the case of Jobbik supporters, who tend to be more eurosceptic. While, across the rest of opposition party voters, the proportion of those who distrust the EU is below 20%, over 40% of Jobbik voters do not trust European institutions.
Opposition supporters on trust in the European Union
Should the opposition remain united?
The opposition’s coalition strategy seems to have been a failure. However, Hungary’s electoral laws are very punishing on smaller parties. Out of the 199 seats in parliament, 106 are in winner-takes-all constituencies. The remaining 93 seats are assigned through national party lists, where only parties who register candidates in at least 50 electoral districts qualify. A divided opposition would be less competitive in electoral districts and smaller parties with few organisational capacities outside cities would struggle to register enough candidates to run for the national party lists.
In the future, the opposition could consider restricting its coalition to parties whose voters are more like-minded, leaving Jobbik out. Excluding Jobbik would not only avoid the thorny issue of incorporating a far right party in a pro-democratic coalition. It would also potentially allow the coalition to be led by somebody who, unlike Márki-Zay, is more aligned with the liberal social values of its prospective voters.
While an independent Jobbik is unlikely to take a substantial proportion of votes from the coalition, it can seduce some Fidesz supporters who are concerned with the democratic backsliding in Hungary but still oppose the politics and scandals of the 2006-2010 socialist government led by Ferenc Gyurcsány. Our ProDem data shows that Hungarian citizens are concerned about the state of democracy in their country, including those who planned to abstain from the 2022 election, and some Fidesz voters.
Hungarian voters on the state of democracy
Since Orbán and the Fidesz party took power in 2010, they have built an illiberal democracy in Hungary that has undermined electoral competition and fairness. The future of the Hungarian opposition will likely benefit from continued cooperation, only if they stop trying to include the far right.

Following national title win, Jayhawks invited to return to Maui
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - After the team’s national title win on Monday night, the University of Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball team has been invited to return to the Maui Invitational in November.
The Maui Jim Maui Invitational announced on Tuesday, April 5, the 2023 field for the 40th annual Tournament. It said Gonzaga, the University of Kansas, Marquette, Purdue, Syracuse, Tennessee, UCLA and Chaminade will meet Nov. 20-22, 2023, at the historic Lahaina Civic Center in Maui.
“The Maui Jim Maui Invitational strives to bring the best college basketball teams and talent to the island of Maui and set the precedent for the rest of the season,” said Tournament Chairman Dave Odom. “The 2023 field very well may be the best one, at least on paper, that we’ve ever had. We could not be more excited to return to our home at the Lahaina Civic Center and show these teams the magic of Maui.”
The tournament said teams that have participated in the Maui Invitational throughout the event’s history own 70 of the 82 NCAA championships and seven of those schools have gone on to win the national championship after competing in Maui earlier that season.
“We are thrilled to announce the 2023 Maui Jim Maui Invitational field”, said Tom Valdiserri, Executive Vice President of KemperLesnik, the operator of the Maui Jim Maui Invitational. “These programs represent the best of college basketball, including the reigning national champions, and we look forward to hosting this historic field in Maui.”
The Invitational said the impressive collection of programs boasts a combined 253 NCAA Tournament appearances, 44 Final Four berths, 17 NCAA Tournament Championship Titles, and three AP Coach of the Year award winners - Jim Boeheim in 2010, Mark Few in 2017 and Bill Self in 2009 and 2016.
The Invitational noted seven of the 2023 participants are ranked in the top 46 all-time winningest schools, including Kansas, Syracuse, UCLA, Purdue, Gonzaga, Tennessee and Marquette. It said four of the eight programs will return as Maui Invitational champions - most recently Gonzaga in 2018 and Kansas in 2019.
The tournament said All-Tournament travel packages and school Booster travel packages for the 2023 Maui Jim Maui Invitational will be available at a later date.

Ricky Hatton says a knockout is the only way for Dillian Whyte to beat Tyson Fury and become the WBC heavyweight champion.
The former two-weight world champion thinks Whyte will be confident of doing just that after watching ‘The Gypsy King’ hit the canvas multiple times in his recent fights.
“I think he has to go for the knockout,” Hatton told talkSPORT when asked about the 23 April bout.
“Let’s have it right, he’s not going to outbox Tyson Fury, he’s not going to outspeed Tyson Fury.
“Tyson, for a giant, 6ft 10in, is so versatile. He showed in his last fight [against Deontay Wilder] and previous fights, that he can stand close and mix it up. He can box southpaw, he can box orthodox, he can box from a distance, he’s great defensively.
“So, there’s no point in Dillian going out there thinking he can outbox Tyson because he can’t. He’s got to go for the knockout and try and get that big one in. Tyson’s been on his backside a few times. Dillian will know he’s capable of landing that and beating Tyson.”
Hatton thinks Fury will revert back to his old style of fighting against Whyte after going toe-to-toe with Wilder in the last two fights of their epic trilogy.
“I think it’s all about what Tyson Fury turns up,” he continued.
“Tyson lately has been fighting like a 6’10’ Rocky Marciano. He wants to go to war and be in the trenches with everyone at the minute.
“For this fight, I think we’re going to see a bit of the old Tyson Fury. Distance, you know, try break Dillian down a little bit. Let the storm blow itself out a little bit and then come on in the later rounds.
“I think Dillian has got to go in there and go for the knockout because I can see him winning on points.”

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Tuesday defended a television ad paid for by the Democratic Governors Association that attacks one of the Republican challengers for governor as “simply telling the truth.”
The ad, which was released last week, attacks Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin for his years as a criminal defense attorney. Irvin, who has the backing of billionaire hedge-fund chief Ken Griffin, has made blaming Pritzker for increasing crime a central point of his campaign.
“Richard Irvin's real record on crime? For 15 years, Irvin has been a defense lawyer profiting by defending some of the most violent and heinous criminals ...,” the ad's narrator says. “Irvin has been getting rich by putting violent criminals back on our streets.”
Pritzker, himself a billionaire who has donated more than $2.3 million to the DGA since 2017, made his first comments about the ad Tuesday at a bill-signing ceremony in his state Capitol office.
“It’s important that Democrats be involved in telling the truth out there and when it comes to what the DGA's doing here in Illinois, they’re simply telling the truth, which is more than the Irvin campaign can say,” Pritzker said.
Republicans have knocked Pritzker for the ad because everyone accused of a crime is entitled to a competent defense. They says it is hypocritical for Pritzker to criticize Irvin's record as a defense lawyer after last year signing a criminal justice overhaul that set strict standards for police behavior and initiated pro-defendant reforms such as the elimination of cash bail. The law, he said, would help eliminate “systemic racism” and move "us closer to true safety, true fairness and true justice.”
Irvin, who was not made available for an interview Tuesday, said in a statement last week that Pritzker “would do anything to win.”
“Pritzker is trying to hijack the Republican primary because he can’t run from the facts: Crime is out of control, tax hikes continue, and corruption lives on in state government under Pritzker’s reign,” Irvin said.
Kent Redfield, professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Springfield and a campaign finance expert, said outside groups such as the DGA rarely try to influence an opposition primary campaign.
“They’re trying to affect things strategically,” Redfield said. “It’s not unprecedented, but it’s unusual.”
It’s likely the idea is to soften up Irvin, said Redfield, in favor of a candidate such as state Sen. Darren Bailey of Xenia, whom Pritzker fans consider more beatable. His money advantage makes Irvin, whose resume also includes a stint as a prosecuting attorney, the front-runner in the June 28 primary.
There’s nothing illegal about the ad or the way it was executed, Redfield said, but Pritzker “putting money into a second group and having that group spend the money on your behalf is something less than maximum transparency.”

Comment: This report was published April 2, a day prior to the reports of a "massacre" in Bucha.
Special forces have begun a clearing operation in the city of Bucha in the Kyiv region, which has been liberated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The city is being cleared from saboteurs and accomplices of Russian forces.
This has been reported by the National Police.
"At the moment, the combatants of the organised special forces regiment of the National Police, Safari, which includes the representatives of subdivisions of the Special Tasks Police, the Rapid Operational Response Unit, the Tactical Operational Response Police, and explosive ordnance disposal experts, is working in the city," the office reports.
The police have also said that the EOD experts are inspecting the places of Russia's war crimes and removing the explosives and ammunition which haven't detonated.
The law enforcement officers note that they are checking every yard and shelter, talking to the residents and providing help to them. "The residents who have had to experience the horrors of occupation are cooperating with the law enforcement officers the best they can. The police do everything to restore law and order on the liberated territory so the residents could get back to their hometown as soon as possible," the National Police notes.
As a reminder, the day before, the head of Bucha city Anatolii Fedoruk recorded a video message in which he announced that the city had been liberated from Russian invaders on 31 March.

Coachella Considering The Weeknd, RHCP for Kanye's Headliner Spot
Coachella Weeknd, Red Hot Chili Peppers ... Top of List for Kanye's Headline Spot
4/5/2022 2:05 PM PT
Coachella organizers are hard at work figuring out who will take Kanye's headlining Sunday spot at the festival -- and we've learned of 2 acts at the top of the list to take over.
First, who's out. We're told the organizers were hot for Silk Sonic, the dynamic duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak. The pair make a lot of sense, coming off a clean sweep at The Grammys, including Record of the Year for "Leave the Door Open."
We're told Bruno Mars shut it down, saying there wasn't enough time for them to get a proper show together in time for Coachella.
As for who's still in play -- there's The Weeknd, who is coming off an insane year on the charts -- a new album and an upcoming stadium tour. We're told there's been talks between both sides, which stalled at one point ... but there's still a chance he takes the stage in some capacity.
Our sources say organizers were testing the waters to see if The Weeknd would perform a few songs along with Swedish House Mafia. They were also interested in The Weeknd as a stand-alone act. Our sources say no decision has been made.
Finally, our sources say The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a name that's being seriously considered. The group is set to hit the road this summer -- and recently played a low-key show in L.A. -- so they're ready to go. What's more, our sources say RHCP makes a lot of sense, because currently there's no major rock 'n roll act on the lineup.
One thing our sources have stressed -- there are others who are being considered, but the ones we just mentioned are at the top of the list.
TMZ broke the story, Kanye dropped out of his headlining gig with less than 2 weeks to go before Coachella. The first of two weekends kicks off April 15. Billie Eilish, Harry Styles and Swedish House Mafia are all locked in as other headliners.

Here comes the bride! ET can confirm that Christina Haack and realtor, Josh Hall, are officially married. The Christina on the Coast star and Hall’s marriage news comes less than a year after they were first spotted holding hands back in July 2021. While Haack has yet to publicly confirm their nuptials, the HGTV star has changed her name to Christina Hall in her Instagram bio and added an infinity symbol emoji next to a key emoji.
Last month, Haack, 38, celebrated her man with a PDA-filled photo. “Prayed for a man who was all man but still treated me like his queen. Never give up. ❤️ ♾ 👑,”” she captioned the picture of her and Hall sharing a kiss on the steps.
In March, Haack shared a sweet photo of her man planting a kiss on her cheek next to the caption, "Ride or Die 🖤."
In September, Haack shared the news that she and Hall, 41, got engaged. “❤️♾🔒🗝 💍 ,” the Flip or Flop star captioned a series of photos of her and Hall on the beach.
Haack and Hall were first linked in July, one month after her divorce from Ant Anstead was finalized. Haack and Anstead are parents to 2-year-old Hudson. Haack is also mom to daughter Taylor, 11, and 6-year-old son, Brayden, with ex-husband and former Flip or Flop co-star, Tarek El Moussa.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Confronting the pandemic’s lasting shadow, President Joe Biden on Tuesday is ordering a new national research push on long COVID, while also directing federal agencies to support patients dealing with the mysterious and debilitating condition.
The White House said Biden is assigning the Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate an urgent new initiative across federal agencies, building on research already under way at the National Institutes of Health.
Biden also directed federal agencies to support patients and doctors by providing science-based best practices for treating long COVID, maintaining access to insurance coverage, and protecting the rights of workers as they try to return to jobs while coping with the uncertainties of the malaise.

DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - Solsa Inc. is closing down in Decatur, the company announced Tuesday on Facebook.
"It is with a heavy heart, that we have to inform you of our intent to close Solsa’s current operations at 2805 N. Main Street," the company's post said.
Solsa blamed multiple factors for the closing, which they said include but are not limited to mandatory wage increases, tax increases, product pricing and availability, and never truly recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Solsa thanked its vendors and loyal customers for their support in the last nearly six years. The company said it plans to post contact information later in the week.
"Most importantly, we would like to thank our past and current employees for all their hard work and dedication. Without them, Solsa would not have survived for the duration it did," the post added.

LEOMINSTER, Mass. (AP) — Residents of a Massachusetts city turned out in force Tuesday for the funeral of a U.S. Marine officer who died last month during a NATO training exercise in Norway and was known for his infectious smile and commitment to serve.
Capt. Ross Reynolds' casket was transported from Leominster City Hall to St. Cecilia's Church by a horse-drawn carriage and escorted by a contingent of Marines and city Boy Scouts.
Hundreds of residents carrying U.S. flags lined the streets and gathered outside the church where the private funeral was held.
Reynolds' family, including his wife of about two months, appreciated the support, Leominster Mayor Dean Mazzarella said.
“As tough as it was, I think they really wanted to make sure this was respectful, dignified and a celebration of life," he said.
The funeral service was followed by a private burial at the Massachusetts Memorial Veterans’ Cemetery in Winchendon.
“Ross is fondly remembered for his infectious smile, that lit up every room he walked into,” his family said in his obituary.
Reynolds, 27, was an Osprey pilot and one of four Marines killed when their aircraft crashed March 18 during a NATO drill in a Norwegian town in the Arctic Circle.
The others who died were Capt. Matthew Tomkiewicz, of Fort Wayne, Indiana.; Gunnery Sgt. James Speedy, of Cambridge, Ohio; and Cpl. Jacob Moore, of Catlettsburg, Kentucky.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but Norwegian police reported bad weather in the area. Officials in Norway said the MV-22B Osprey crashed in Graetaedalen in Beiarn, south of Bodoe.
The men were assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261, Marine Aircraft Group 26, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing stationed at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina.
Reynolds is survived by his wife, parents and a sister.

NEW YORK, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues its investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Medallion Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: MFIN) resulting from allegations that Medallion may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Medallion securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3040 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On December 29, 2021, before the market opened, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), filed a complaint alleging Medallion and two of its corporate officers engaged in schemes in attempts to reverse the Company's declining stock price. Charges in the complaint include violating antifraud, books and records, internal controls, and anti-touting provisions of federal securities laws amongst others. On this news, Medallion's stock price fell $1.78 per share, or over 21%, on December 29, 2021.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Pics: Ireland’s 2022 Home of the Year winner has been revealed
For the past few weeks now, Irish viewers have been given an inside look at just some of the lush homes scattered around the country, as we’ve been tuning into RTÉ’s Home of the Year.
Tonight, judges Hugh Wallace, Amanda Bone and Sarah Cosgrove announced this year’s worthy winners and we couldn’t be more delighted for them!
Kate and Shane Byrne lifted the coveted Home of the Year 2022 trophy earlier this evening for their 150-year-old farmhouse with modern extension in Co Wicklow.
The property has been in Shane’s family for decades but when they moved in, in 2018, they knocked through all the smaller rooms and added an extension to create an open plan living space with lots of natural light.
The family love the sense of history in their home and that their son is the fourth generation of the Byrne family to grow up there and that, in time, it will be a place for his own family.
The eighth series of Home of the Year saw the three judges visit 21 homes across the country but chose Kate and Shane's home as the ultimate winner.
Speaking about this magnificent property, Hugh said, "Arriving up you knew there was something special and walking through the door I just loved the hall. The scale and size of the kitchen was terrific and that big dining room table was smashing!”
“It was amazing because once you went through that door you could just feel the heartbeat of this spectacular home. There’s the intangible which is so important – that feeling when you walk around the home: of the family, the fun, the history, the memories that are in that home – that’s what makes a home for me,” he gushed.
Meanwhile, home-owners Kate and Shane excitedly said, “We are just so over the moon and blown away by the reaction to our home. For our farmhouse to make the final, never mind win is just so incredibly flattering. It is not something thing we could have ever imagined happening.”
“Our house is a part of our family’s history and is truly a home, not just a house. For the judges to see and recognise that is amazing. For us a home is not about the size of your floor plan or budget, instead what’s important for our family is the feeling the house gives you and those that visit it.”
“The other houses in the competition were beautiful and it’s such an honour to have featured alongside them. Just being part of the competition is such a great experience and one I would highly recommend,” Kate and Shane commented.
If you missed out on tonight’s final episode then don’t worry — you can catch up with all the episodes of series eight and earlier series of Home of the Year on the RTÉ Player.

1 Killed In Texas As Violent Weather Thrashes South; 17K Without Power
By Dani Medina
April 5, 2022
At least one person has been killed as violent storms thrash the South on Tuesday. According to The Associated Press, hail and high winds were prevalent, prompting tornado warnings for the violent weather forecast to resume for the next day or so.
W.M. Soloman died when a tree fell on Soloman's home in Whitehouse, which is about 100 miles southeast of Dallas, Mayor James Wansley said. At least four other homes in the area had trees fall on them.
More than 17,000 are without power in the Lone Star State as of Tuesday afternoon.
In Texas, one person was injured in Johnson County. Brittaney Deaton said she was trapped in an RV trailer when it flipped over. Her stepfather injured himself trying to free her. "I was screaming on the phone. I couldn’t get out. I was terrified. And I felt like I was just trapped, like it was going to roll with me in it. And I just thank God that I got out," Deaton told KDFW.
Her stepfather is expected to recover.
The National Weather Service said the violent storms are forecast to move north on Wednesday. The affected areas are western Alabama to the western tip of the Carolinas, including Atlanta, Birmingham and Chattanooga.

Higher risk of heart issues found after COVID compared to 2nd vaccine dose, CDC reports
(Gray News) - Researchers continue to look into life after COVID when it comes to heart issues following infection and recovery.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released a report on the increased risk for cardiac complications after SARS-CoV-2 infection and mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.
The report focuses on the ongoing risks and adverse health outcomes after a patient has gotten COVID. Findings also touched on the potential risk of heart issues after receiving an mRNA vaccine for the virus from Pfizer and Moderna.
According to the report, cardiac complications, “particularly myocarditis and pericarditis,” have been tied to the coronavirus and mRNA COVID vaccination.
However, findings from 40 health care systems that participated in the report from January 2021 to January 2022 showed that the risk for cardiac complications was significantly higher after the SARS-CoV-2 infection than after an mRNA COVID vaccination.
The report also states that male patients 12-17 years old had the highest risk of developing cardiac conditions after vaccination and infection:
“The incidence of cardiac outcomes after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination was highest for males aged 12–17 years after the second vaccine dose. However, within this demographic group, the risk for cardiac outcomes was 1.8–5.6 times as high after SARS-CoV-2 infection than after the second vaccine dose.”
According to the report, studies from Israel and the United Kingdom have found a higher risk for myocarditis after SARS-CoV-2 infection than after an mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.
Therefore, the CDC noted that the findings support the continued use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines among all eligible persons.

Local craft gin brand partners with celebrated baseball team to bring fun and unfiltered experiences to Oracle Park and San Francisco at large
SAN FRANCISCO, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Junipero Gin, the San Francisco-based award-winning brand that is celebrated as America's first craft gin, announced today it has entered into a partnership with the San Francisco Giants, solidifying the brand as an official gin partner of the team. Junipero Gin is distilled at the Hotaling & Co. Distillery on Pier 50, which is adjacent to Oracle Park, home of the Giants. Established in 1996, Junipero Gin's mission remains the same today as it was a quarter century ago – to be bold, challenge established norms and to Live Life Unfiltered. Born and bred in a city of firsts that is a home for those who break with convention to pursue an original path, San Francisco is Junipero Gin's largest fanbase.
As part of the three-year deal, the Giants will host Junipero Gin sampling events at Oracle Park, promote the brand in local television placements, and feature Junipero Gin celebrating "San Francisco Unfiltered" on Oracle Park's scoreboard and in-park signage.
"As a local brand with roots in San Francisco, we are proud that Junipero will enhance the ballpark experience for both the team and their fans," said Dan Leese, President and CEO of Hotaling & Co., Junipero Gin owner and producer. "Our proximity to Oracle Park and our support for the community make this a natural partnership that we are excited to see come to life."
"The Giants are proud to extend our partnership with Hotaling & Co., a local brand whose values and objectives align with ours", said Jason Pearl, Senior Vice President and Chief Business Development Officer of the San Francisco Giants. "Like the Giants and our food and beverage partners at Bon Appetit, Hotaling & Co. strives to offer their customers an extensive and quality array of products."
The deal will see Junipero Gin become an official gin partner of the franchise until late 2024.
For more information, please visit www.HotalingandCo.com.
About Junipero Gin
Based in San Francisco, Junipero Gin fearlessly led the birth of American craft gin in 1996. Junipero is Spanish for juniper berry, the main botanical in gin. Hell bent on elevating juniper & citrus flavors, the distilling team forged a new path by crafting each batch of Junipero in a small copper pot still, scouring the globe for the most expressive botanicals, and boldly bottling at an unfiltered 98.6 proof. Decades later Junipero is still made by hand in San Francisco and celebrates those who break with convention to pursue an original path. For more information on Junipero, visit JuniperoGin.com.
About Hotaling & Co.
Hotaling & Co., the leading San Francisco distiller & importer, creates, curates, and builds artisanal brands of unmatched character and quality. Hotaling & Co., originally named Anchor Distilling Company, was established in 1993 and is credited with releasing America's first craft whiskey (Old Potrero) and American craft gin (Junipero Gin) after Prohibition. In 2010, Anchor Distilling Company was sold to a business partnership that included Tony Foglio and London's oldest wine and spirit merchant, Berry Bros. & Rudd and began expanding to incorporate a collection of super-premium artisanal spirits imported from around the world. In 2017, Anchor Distilling became Hotaling & Co. The new name is a nod to one of Anchor Distilling's most beloved small batch whiskies (Old Potrero Hotaling's Whiskey) and to the San Francisco legend A.P. Hotaling, who came out West during the Gold Rush and quickly became one of the most reputable spirits dealers in the country. Today, Hotaling & Co. celebrates exciting growth and achievements; marking its 29th year of distilling and its 12th year of commercially uniting likeminded distillers from around the world to share the passion and raise the bar.

One of the oldest teams in Major League Baseball, the 139-year old franchise moved to San Francisco from New York in 1958. After playing a total of 42 years in Seals Stadium and Candlestick Park, the team moved to the privately constructed, downtown ballpark on the corner of 3rd and King. 2022 marks the Giants 23rd season at Oracle Park. The organization is widely recognized for its innovative business practices and baseball excellence having been named in the past decade the Sports Organization of the Year by Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal and Organization of the Year by Baseball America. Oracle Park is also the only ballpark in the country to have earned Silver, Gold and Platinum LEED certification for an existing building.
Since opening its gates, Oracle Park has become internationally-renowned as a premier venue in the world of both sports and entertainment. On the diamond, more than 63 million spectators have witnessed a number of magical moments, including a franchise record 107-win season in 2021, three World Series Championships (2010, 2012 & 2014), the raising of five National League Pennants and eight playoff appearances. On June 13, 2012, the organization's first-ever Perfect Game was thrown by Giants ace Matt Cain. On July 10, 2007, San Francisco was the center of the baseball universe when it hosted the 78th Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The ballpark has played host to some of music's biggest acts, including Lady Gaga, Beyoncé & Jay Z, Ed Sheeran, the Rolling Stones, the Eagles, Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band, Green Day and Billy Joel. It also was the site of the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens.
Off the field, the Giants have one of the premier community outreach programs in professional sports. Through its community outreach programs and award winning Junior Giants Program, the Giants and the Giants Community Fund work with corporate and non-profit partners to raise awareness, educate and generate interest in a variety of issues important to both their fans and community including education/literacy, violence prevention, health and youth recreation and fitness.

A Ukrainian zoo which has almost been completely destroyed by Russian shelling is to put all the animals to sleep.
The founder of the wildlife eco-park in Kharkviv revealed there is no way of rescuing the large animals at the attraction, which is believed to be the oldest zoo in Ukraine.
The website for the animal centre claims it keeps more than 6,000 animals. However, the Ukrainian MP, Oleksandr Feldman, who founded the zoo says Russian shelling has left them with no option but to put the animals to sleep because there is no possibility to evacuate or transport them.
Feldman posted a video on social media addressing the future of the animals and the zoo as he broke the devastating news about the centre and the grim reality about the future of the wildlife, according to Mirror Online.
He said “There is no more Ecopark. After yesterday’s shelling, I can say that the park has been almost completely destroyed.
“Animal cages have been destroyed, all the infrastructure has been destroyed, but tigers and lions have miraculously survived. Their cages have been badly damaged, and they can go outside at any moment.”
He said the enclosure where the bears are based is in a dreadful condition and they would be forced to “kill them, put them to sleep or move them.”
“The building where the bears live is in terrible condition. Today we will have to make a decision. We have until the evening to decide either to kill each one, put them to sleep, or to move them,” he said.
The zoo boss said there was nowhere where they could take the creatures and hoped to save some of them, with younger big cats possible.
But he added that all adult animals “are likely to be put down” as they could not be rescued or re-homed.
The attraction’s website says Kharkviv Zoo is the oldest in Ukraine.
It was opened in 1895 for visitors in 1903 and is based in the heart of the city next to the Park Shevchenko.
The Zoo which covers 22 hectares and is home to 6810 animals
It considers 103 species to be rare and are under protection and led to new animals being bred at attraction.
In a video by news channel Nexta on Twitter, the Ukrainian MP said: “ #Russian troops have almost completely destroyed the ecopark in #Kharkiv
“Today by the end of the day a decision will be made to put the tigers and lions down, because their enclosures have been destroyed.”

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- A man shot and killed by a Grand Rapids police officer a lengthy struggle has been identified as Patrick Lyoya, 26.
Grand Rapids Police Chief Eric Winstrom met with Lyoya’s family on Tuesday, April 5, prior to the release of his name.
Police said Lyoya was driving a car about 8:10 a.m. Monday, April 4 when an officer conducted a traffic stop.
“At this time, the circumstances that led to the stop are not clear, but subsequent inspection confirms the vehicle has a license plate that is not registered to that vehicle,” according to a Monday GRPD press release.

Police said that the driver exited the vehicle and had some interaction with the officer, but he began to flee when he learned he was going to be taken into custody.
A fight ensued between the officer and driver and the officer fired his weapon.
The officer, who began with the department in 2015, is on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. The practice is standard protocol.
Winstrom said he expects to release police video -- bodycam, dashcam or both -- as early as next week.
State police are investigating the shooting, which also is standard.

West Monroe man killed Tuesday morning in Ouachita Parish crash
A West Monroe man was killed in a single-vehicle crash Tuesday morning, Louisiana State police said.
Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop F responded at approximately 6:18 a.m. Tuesday to a single-vehicle crash which occurred on Louisiana 15 north of Louisiana 841. This crash claimed the life of 21-year-old Brandon Lewis of West Monroe.
Authorities said Lewis was driving south on Louisiana 15 in a 2013 Ford F-150. For reasons still under investigation, the Ford exited the roadway, struck a utility box and then impacted a tree.
Lewis, who was restrained, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Ouachita Parish Coroner. Impairment is not suspected to be a factor; however, routine toxicology samples were submitted for analysis.
Although the exact cause of the crash remains under investigation, troopers would like to remind the public that inattentive and distracted driving is dangerous and is a leading cause of crashes in our state. It is important for motorists to pay attention to what is going on outside of the vehicle they are driving and to get plenty of rest in order to remain alert.
In 2022, Troop F has investigated seven fatal crashes, which have resulted in eight fatalities.

Ramsey: Economic concerns loom over this year's state elections
Texas voters don’t like the way things are going in the U.S. and most don’t think their kids will have it better than they do, according to a Texas Lyceum poll framed around voters’ outlook for the rest of the decade.
Seven months before the next general election, Texans are grumpy, concerned about economic issues like inflation and housing, unhappy with the direction of the country, and somewhat happier with the direction of the state itself.
Many of their biggest concerns potentially set up an election that’s more about economic matters than about the social and cultural issues that have dominated some of the primary and runoff election debates so far this year.
And the polling, aside from detailing what voters are cranky about, is also something of a roadmap for lawmakers looking to work on big stuff, like roads, housing, health care, border security, jobs and the economy.
Two in five Texans cited economic concerns as the most important issues facing the U.S. — concerns that include the economy in general, inflation and rising prices, and energy/gas prices. That’s a top issue for about a quarter of the voters when asked about problems facing the state.
What’s more, only 27% said they believe their children will be better off than they are, while 35% said the kids will be worse off.
A large group of voters said opportunities for homeownership are “poor” or “terrible” where they live. More than half said they spend too much of their income on housing.
Two-thirds said the national economy is worse off than it was a year ago; only half as many said the state economy was worse than a year ago.
People living in rural areas were more likely to say their local economy was either “poor” or “terrible” (39%) than voters in suburban (24%) and urban (25%) areas, according to the poll.
This political year has already shaped up as an obstacle course for Texas Democrats. The parties of incumbent presidents regularly suffer in midterm elections, and Joe Biden is particularly unpopular in Texas right now.
Republican legislative majorities drew new political maps for the Legislature and the congressional delegation that — surprise, surprise — favor Republicans.
And it’s evident in the numbers that voters are less gloomy about the economy and outlook for the state than for the country. You can read that as the beginning of a political blame game that seats current problems in Washington rather than in Austin, and harder on the Democratic government there than on the Republican government in Texas.
But if anyone in politics is still interested, voters are telling them a lot about what needs to be addressed after November’s elections. Only 31% of Texas voters say the reliability and cost of electricity is either “poor” or “terrible.” The majority — 54% — say it’s “good” and 13% say it’s “excellent.” On balance, that’s good for incumbents, but the naysayers are numerous enough to push for change.
That’s true, too, for transportation in Texas: 28% are “unsatisfied” with the quality of the state’s roads. Nearly half of the state’s rural residents said their roads are either “poor” or “terrible.”
Polling like that offers some ideas for the political class that’s tangled in primary runoffs and, later this year, in a general election. Here’s what’s popular and with which voters, and here’s what’s not.
But it’s also got some clues for the lawmakers those politicians hope to become. In the 2018 elections, it was clear that voters wanted some work done on education and how public schools are financed. They scared the ruling class, and 2019 saw some sweeping changes.
It’s always possible for voters to change the tune.

5 Ontario islands that are way cheaper than the average Toronto home
If you’ve been house hunting in Toronto, then you know all too well that the housing market is as cutthroat as ever, with homes getting snapped up within days and selling for way over the asking price.
And the price of homes only continues to rise.
According to a recent report by the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), the average price of a home in the GTA now hovers at $1.3 million — that’s up from last year’s average of $1.1 million. So it’s no surprise that nearly half of millennials in Canada can’t afford to buy a home in Toronto.
It almost makes you want to get away from it all… perhaps on an island somewhere?
As it turns out, there are Ontario islands listed for way below the average price of a home in the GTA. Some of them are blank canvases, while others are move-in ready with cottages and guest homes.
If you’re ready to quit the Hunger Games that is the Toronto real estate market, now might be the right time to make your island ownership dreams come true.

- 0.75 acres

Private Island South – $622,899

San Francisco now has the highest coronavirus infection rate of any county in California, followed closely by several other Bay Area counties where COVID-19 downward trends have stalled as the highly transmissible BA.2 subvariant extends its dominance.
The Bay Area overall is reporting about 700 new cases a day across its nine counties, still reflecting its steep drop since the winter surge that saw a peak of more than 18,000 new daily cases. But the number remains much higher than the 200 reported during last year’s summer lull before the delta variant of the virus took hold.
It’s not yet clear how big an impact on trends and illnesses might flow from BA.2, the omicron subvariant that federal data shows now is fueling three out of every four COVID cases in the western region of the United States.
San Francisco reported a 7-day average of 14 cases per 100,000 residents as of Tuesday. By comparison, San Francisco was as high as 274 per 100,000 people during the winter peak, and recorded an average 1.1 per 100,000 at its low in June. State data released Tuesday showed the other Bay Area counties, along with Del Norte, clustered at the top of the list with the highest case rates in the state.
San Francisco’s effective reproduction number, which predicts the average number of people each infected person will pass the virus to, is now 1.12, compared to the overall California rate of 0.86. To slow down spread, the number should be below 1.
“That’s all fueled by BA.2,” said Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious diseases expert at UCSF. He said that the true proportion of the subvariant is likely higher than the federal estimates — which show BA.2 nationwide now accounting for 72% of coronavirus infections — due to a reporting lag.
“It is worrisome,” said Chin-Hong. “We have this thing coming, and we don’t know how it will impact the population.”
Travel, spring break activities, and loosening COVID safety measures are also contributing to the turnaround in case rates, Chin-Hong added.
“When you walk around San Francisco you see tons of people, and a lot of them are visitors. The city is dense,” he said. “That’s why you see that cases and the test positivity rate inching up.”
After more than two months of steep decline, daily average case rates across the Bay Area and much of California have levelled out while hospitalizations have continued to fall.
As of this week, the California Department of Public Health said it would stop providing daily updates on its public COVID-19 data dashboard. It will shift instead to providing its data releases on COVID-19 cases and deaths, test positive rates, hospitalizations and vaccine coverage only on Tuesdays and Fridays.
“We have learned over the course of this pandemic that it is more helpful to look at data trends over time and that public health recommendations should be based on consistent trends rather than day-over-day changes, which are impacted by various testing and reporting patterns over weekends and holidays,” the California Department of Public Health said in a statement to The Chronicle.
The change aligns with the state health department’s new “SMARTER” tracking system using multiple surveillance prongs “including wastewater surveillance which is not as subject to the evolving changes in testing patterns and behaviors,” state officials said. “This also better aligns state reporting with variable days of data reporting from local health jurisdictions and laboratories.”
The change makes sense for now as the state redeploys members of its pandemic response team to other health areas overshadowed in the past two years, said Dr. George Rutherford, a professor of epidemiology at UCSF.
“We have all these other problems we need to deal with, like the fentanyl crisis,” he said.
Rutherford said county officials would continue to monitor the data daily and state officials can increase reporting as needed. “It’s not like they can’t scale it back up again,” he said.
He expressed some optimism that BA.2 may sweep through the region without causing much disruption.
“If you look at Western Europe where BA.2 is the predominant variant, in many countries the case rates continue to fall,” Rutherford said. “The two outliers are the UK and Germany. It’s hard to tell exactly which way things will break.”
Experts see the potential for another variant to emerge as more concerning.
A new COVID-19 variant, known as XE, was identified in the United Kingdom this week. It is believed to be a combination of the original BA.1 omicron variant and its subvariant BA.2, known as a “recombinant” variant, and more transmissible than both.
Given the uncertainty around new variants, Chin-Hong said it may be premature for the state the change its daily reporting practice.
“The timing has some people on the edge of their seats because we don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said.
“Everyone will get nervous as these numbers continue to go up,” he said, “But because BA.2 is coming right after BA.1, the same rules apply. It’s all omicron. If you are vaccinated and boosted you still have an outstanding chance of staying out of the hospital.”
A poll conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California in March found that most Californians believe the worst of the pandemic is over, but also that more than 6 in 10 favor efforts to control the spread of COVID-19, even if this means some restrictions.
Fifty-seven percent, for example, supported requiring proof of vaccination to enter large outdoor gatherings or indoor spaces such as restaurants, bars, and gyms, while 41% opposed it, the poll found.
Public health officials continue pressing vaccination as the best course to stem the pandemic and are urging people to take advantage of the newly authorized extra booster shots available to people 50 and older and those with immune-compromising conditions.
“Getting an additional booster is the best way to strengthen protection against COVID,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Twitter.
In California, three quarters of those eligible, over age 5, are fully vaccinated. Of those, 57.3% have received booster doses.

JetBlue Airways is trying to buy Spirit Airlines and break up a plan for Spirit to merge with fellow budget airline Frontier.
Spirit said on Tuesday that JetBlue offered $33 a share, or about $3.6 billion. Florida-based Spirit says its board will evaluate the JetBlue bid and decide what's best for its shareholders. The JetBlue offer is about 40% higher than the value of Frontier's bid.
Frontier's offer in cash and stock was worth $2.9 billion when it was announced in February, but Frontier shares have fallen since then, reducing the value to Spirit shareholders. Spirit shares soared after the New York Times reported JetBlue's bid earlier Tuesday.
In a statement, New York-based JetBlue said buying out Spirit would create a situation where fairs would stay low by forming “the most compelling national low-fare challenger” to the U.S.'s four biggest airlines which are American, Delta, United and Southwest.

Police in Sacramento, Calif., have arrested a second man in connection with a weekend shooting downtown that killed six people and wounded 12 others. It is the deadliest mass shooting in the city's history.
The 27-year-old, identified by police as Smiley Martin, was found at the scene of the Sunday morning shooting with what police described as "serious injuries from gunfire."
While hospitalized, he remains under police supervision. He was taken into custody Tuesday morning and charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun.
The two suspects are related
A day earlier, police announced another arrest in the shooting — Martin's brother.
Dandrae Martin, 26, was charged with assault and illegal firearm possession.
Other than the two arrests, police have released only small details about what transpired early Sunday. Investigators are seeking information from the public on other suspects and what, exactly, happened.
The shooting followed a large fight
The gunfire erupted near the corner of 10th and K streets, close to the California State Capitol, around 2 a.m., police said.
Cellphone videos circulating online captured a fight among a large crowd of people on a sidewalk in the area of the shooting. The footage shows people running for their lives as the first shots ring out, followed by dozens more shots. It's not yet known how that fracas might be linked to the shooting.
The police have asked the public to submit any videos or photos through the department's evidence portal to help them find anyone who played a part in the shocking crime.
In a Tuesday morning update, Sacramento police said they were poring through 170 video and photo files that the public submitted.
Mourners hold vigils to honor the victims
At least two vigils were held several blocks apart in Sacramento on Monday, one day after the deadly shooting.
Mayor Darrell Steinberg, speaking at one of the remembrances, said the national spotlight was on Sacramento for the moment, according to Capital Public Radio.
"So if we can lift our voices as we have over these last couple of days to decry the senseless violence and the sickness that exists in our country around the proliferation of assault weapons... that indiscriminately kill and injure, we will lift our voices to do so," Steinberg said.
Mourners held photos of Melinda Davis, a 57-year-old unhoused woman who was killed in the shooting, and lit candles for Sergio Harris, a 38-year-old victim.
Jackie Henderson, who said he was Harris' cousin, criticized city and community leaders for not doing more to prevent gun violence, the station reported.
"The last time we had a mass shooting, you did the same thing, sat out here, held up our candles... How are you here for us if we're sitting here doing the same damn thing again?" he said.
The victims have been identified
Local authorities released the names of the six people killed in the melee. According to CapRadio, they are:

HBO Max executive vice president and general manager Andy Forssell is leaving WarnerMedia ahead of the close of the company’s merger with Discovery, which is now eyed asearly as Friday, Variety has learned.
News of Forssell’s exit follows two of his notable colleagues: WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar and studios and networks group chairman and CEO Ann Sarnoff.
As Variety reported earlier Tuesday, insiders previously said the transaction between Discovery and WarnerMedia’s current owner AT&T would be formally completed on April 11, leading to the creation of new company Warner Bros. Discovery. Two sources with knowledge of the situation, however, say the merger is now expected to finalized by the end of the week. Current Discovery CEO David Zaslav is set to serve as president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery.
Named to the position in May 2019, Forssell led the HBO Max operating business unit at WarnerMedia, reporting directly to Kilar. Forssell and his team were responsible for the product, marketing, consumer engagement and operations of HBO Max, including the HBO Max ad-supported version and the platform’s international rollout, which kicked off in markets across Latin America and the Caribbean in Summer 2021, followed by its first European launches in the Nordics and Spain last fall.
Prior to this, Forssell helped build the foundation for another WarnerMedia company, Otter Media, where he served as the company’s Chief Operating Officer.

Noel Cunningham
“Bullying, abuse, homophobia - they have not gone away. We still live and have a certain plague in this country, a toxic masculinity that does not sit comfortably with me.”
Those were the words from the new Donegal Person of the Year, Noel Cunningham, at a gala ball in Dublin at the weekend, where he became the 42nd recipient of the prestigious title.
The hugely popular TV personality and hotelier became the 2019 Donegal Person of the Year at a gala ball hosted in the Bonnington Hotel. Originally the Donegal Association in Dublin had planned to host the event in March 2020 but due to Covid-19 restrictions, it had to be put back.
In his speech after accepting the award, the Kilcar native said: “As far as I know - an assumption on my part - I am the only openly gay Donegal Person of the Year.”
This prompted a huge round of applause in what was a typically humorous address from a man who has done so much to promote Donegal and who has done a huge amount of charitable work.
But he also had some very serious words in relation to homophobia and battles against addiction and expressed his thanks to those who had supported him.
He spoke of working with young people in Donegal and to teach them “that there has to be respect, and tolerance, and inclusion, despite class or creed, or colour or sexuality.”
He continued: “I do tell you truthfully that I would not walk from my hotel down through Temple Bar this evening because I can assure you I would get abuse hurtled at me from all quarters. That’s a reality.
“That’s a fact. Young people in our school playgrounds are still coming under that narrow-mindedness, and that homophobia, and it is terribly sad.”
He said he would continue to try and do good in the best way he could and sometimes with a bit of “cheekiness and boldness”.
He also spoke about how some people in the media had played their part in supporting him when he had endured difficulties and said he would forever be in their debt.
He expressed his gratitude to those who had supported him in his journey.

Reading eased their Championship relegation fears as they moved eight points clear of the drop zone with a hard-fought 2-1 home victory over Stoke.
Skipper Michael Morrison put Reading ahead in the 13th minute as the home side dominated much of the first half, but Stoke substitute Romaine Sawyers equalised shortly before the interval.
Reading restored their lead midway through the second period when Lucas Joao’s header was deflected in by Stoke defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
The hosts had gone into the game unbeaten in three matches under interim manager Paul Ince.
Midfielder Josh Laurent scored an 82nd-minute equaliser in their 1-1 draw at relegation rivals Barnsley on Saturday, adding to his late winner in the previous 1-0 home win over Blackburn.
Mid-table Stoke had ended a winless run of eight league games with successive home wins over Millwall and Sheffield United.
However, they had not won on the road in seven outings since mid-January.
Reading’s Stoke loanee Tom Ince was ineligible to play against his parent club, with Junior Hoilett filling the gap.
And it was Canada international Hoilett who caused numerous problems for the Stoke defence on the right flank early on. From one of his many crosses, Reading went in front.
Morrison’s header was smartly saved by goalkeeper Jack Bonham at close range, but, fortuitously for the hosts, the ball rebounded back off Morrison and over the line.
Little was seen of Stoke as an attacking threat, with Reading goalkeeper Orjan Nyland not called upon in the early stages.
Stoke’s cause was not helped either when midfielder Jordan Thompson was injured after a poor tackle from Ovie Ejaria and had to be taken off on a stretcher.
One minute before the break, Stoke levelled through Sawyers, Thompson’s replacement, from their first attempt on target.
Sawyers sent in a powerful drive from the edge of the area and it flew through Nyland’s weak attempted save into the roof of the net.
Reading tried to quickly regain their lead after the break, but Laurent’s speculative effort from a tight angle was easily caught by Bonham.
Stoke replied through 11-goal top-scorer Jacob Brown, yet his optimistic 20-yarder flew well over the bar.
Bonham made a superb stop to deny Hoilett, but, in the 63rd minute, Reading went back in front.
Joao headed on John Swift’s corner and the ball ricocheted past Bonham off team-mate Harwood-Bellis.
Stoke tried to rally towards the end and should have made it 2-2, only for Brown to blast over an open goal from Tyrese Campbell’s pass.
And Reading held on for the much-needed win.

CEO of rental giant Hertz vows to fix false theft reports
NEW YORK (AP) — The new CEO of Hertz says he’s working to fix a glitch in the rental-car giant’s systems that has led to some of its customers being wrongly accused of stealing cars they had rented.
Stephen Scherr, who took over as CEO on Feb. 28, said the company has changed its practices to fix problems that have occurred when cars were reported stolen but the transaction was improperly recorded in Hertz’s system.
“This is among the first things that I have started to look to take care of and deal with in the first 30 days I’ve been at the company,” Scherr told CNBC on Monday. “It is not acceptable to Hertz to have any customer … caught up in some of what has happened.”
Some Hertz customers have said they were arrested and jailed because the company accused them of stealing cars that they had paid to rent and in some cases had returned long before their arrest.
It’s not clear how many people are affected. More than 200 customers asked a federal judge in Delaware to Hertz to disclose records about erroneous theft reports, and the judge ruled in the renters’ favor in February.
Scherr said the false reports involve several hundred customers out of Hertz’s 15 million annual transactions, but lawyers for the customers say the number is more like 8,000.
“We have changed our policies to avoid the possibility of this happening again,” Scherr said. “No one customer should be put through that.”
Scherr said that in some cases, vehicles have been reported as stolen, the report was withdrawn when the vehicle was found, “but that rescission wasn’t recognized.”
The CEO of Hertz Global Holdings Inc. appeared on CNBC to tout a plan to buy up to 65,000 electric vehicles over five years. The Estero, Florida-based company filed for bankruptcy protection in 2020, as it struggled under heavy debt and a drop in travel caused by the pandemic. It operates Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty car-rental brands.

Jon Batiste had the most Grammy Award nominations and his five wins outpaced everyone, yet he somehow seemed the biggest surprise on a joyous night for music that washed away some of the bad taste left by the Oscars a week earlier.
Batiste’s “We Are” won the prestigious album of the year award Sunday over music heavyweights like Tony Bennett, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift and Ye, who changed his name from Kanye West. Batiste ended his dance-filled performance of “Freedom” during the show by jumping on Eilish’s table.
Silk Sonic won four Grammys, including song and record of the year for the duo’s smooth soul hit, “Leave the Door Open.” Olivia Rodrigo’s three awards included best new artist. Foo Fighters, Chris Stapleton and CeCe Winans also won three each.
Yet Batiste captured the mood of a night where, despite some somber moments, the live performance skills of music’s best artists were on full display after COVID-19 had put much of the concert industry on pause.
“I was having such a good time,” Batiste said backstage after the show, describing the moment when Lenny Kravitz announced his best album victory. “I was hanging with my family, when my name came and the ‘We Are’ title was said by Lenny — such a full circle moment because we played together when I was 16. It was surreal.”
The versatile Batiste, music director on Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show,” also won Sunday for his song “Cry,” the video for “Freedom” and his work with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross on the soundtrack for “Soul.”
Kravitz had performed “Are You Gonna Go My Way” in a duet with H.E.R., his guitar skills and wardrobe unchanged since the song came out in 1993.
H.E.R. was still on a high backstage when she relived the moment.
“I watched Lenny growing up,” she said. “I literally studied all his videos of his performances. He’s one of the reasons why I wanted to play guitar.”
While sometimes-awkward performance partnerships have become a Grammy Award signature, Sunday’s show featured mostly sparkling performances by artists on their own. BTS high-stepped their way through “Butter,” rapper Nas fronted a big band, Rodrigo and Eilish powerfully channeled youthful angst, Stapleton delivered a bluesy version of “Cold” and Brandi Carlile, introduced by the formidable duo of Joni Mitchell and Bonnie Raitt, lived up to the challenge.
“I think we’re all having a great time,” host Trevor Noah said.
The show was a clear contrast to the bad vibes from the Oscars a week earlier, which will forever be remembered for Will Smith smacking comedian Chris Rock after taking offense at one of his jokes.
There were a few quick references to that moment at the Grammys. Noah said that “we’ll be keeping names out people’s mouths,” a reference to Smith’s profane order to Rock not to talk about Smith’s wife. Questlove, onstage Sunday to present an award, said he trusted that people will keep their distance from him. The maker of the “Summer of Soul” film, which won a Grammy Sunday, received an Oscar last week moments after the Slap.
In a more ham-fisted exchange during the untelevised portion of the Grammys, actor LeVar Burton told the audience to “remain in your seat and keep your hands to yourself” in introducing comic Nate Bargatze, who came onstage wearing a helmet.
The Academy Awards had also decided against giving time on its show to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week, even as some actors had advocated for it. The Grammys on Sunday played a special message from the wartime leader, who soberly reminded the audience that “our musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedos.”
His taped message was followed by a John Legend performance of “Free,” with accompaniment from three Ukrainian artists — a musician, singer and poet.
The Grammys also paid tribute to Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died a week ago while on tour. The band had been booked to play the Grammys. Eilish wore a shirt with Hawkins’ face as she performed her Grammy-nominated song, “Happier Than Ever.”
The Foo Fighters won Grammys for best rock performance, song and album — the latter for a record-setting fifth time in the category.
Bruno Mars made history as half of Silk Sonic with Anderson .Paak. He tied Paul Simon as the only artist to win record of the year three times. Mars won with his own “24K Magic” in 2018 and in duet with Mark Ronson on “Uptown Funk” in 2016.
The victory for “Leave the Door Open” in song and record of the year was a mild upset in a year where Rodrigo’s “Drivers License” was ubiquitous and Eilish was bidding for her third straight record of the year following “bad guy” and “Everything I Wanted.”
.Paak was giddy following Silk Sonic’s fourth award of the night, telling the Las Vegas audience that drinks were on him.
“We are really trying our hardest to remain humble at this point,” .Paak said. “But in the industry, we call that a clean sweep.”
Bennett won in the traditional pop vocal album category for a staggering 14th time, this year with duet partner Lady Gaga. Now 95 and retired from performing because of Alzheimer’s disease, he introduced a Gaga performance via taped message.
The Grammys paid tribute to behind-the-scenes concert tour employees who had been largely out of work during the pandemic, inviting four of them on to introduce performances by Eilish, Stapleton, H.E.R. and Carrie Underwood. The show also spotlighted artists in more specialized categories like gospel and bluegrass by having them perform before commercial breaks from the roof of the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It was the first time the Grammys, which had been delayed due to rising COVID-19 cases, was held outside Los Angeles or New York.
The location change allowed rap artist Baby Keem to enjoy a hometown Grammy in best rap performance for his collaboration, “Family Ties,” with cousin Kendrick Lamar.
“This is a dream,” he said.
Rodrigo, who starred in the “High School Musical” television series, thanked her parents for letting her follow dreams that briefly included being an Olympic gymnast. Alongside song, record and album of the year, best new artist is considered among the Grammys’ four most prestigious awards.
After some pre-show handwringing that included cancelling a planned performance by Ye due to some of his concerning online behavior. Ye wasn’t on hand to pick up either of the two Grammys he shared in on Sunday.
Mitchell won a best historical album Grammy for a project tracing her early work, while late Beatle George Harrison was honored for the 50th anniversary box of “All Things Must Pass.”
Louis C.K. won an award for best comedy album, five years after several women accused him of sexual misconduct.

JetBlue Airways has offered to buy Spirit Airlines for about $3.6 billion and break up a plan for Spirit to merge with rival budget carrier Frontier Airlines.
Spirit said Tuesday that its board will evaluate the JetBlue bid and decide what's best for its shareholders.
JetBlue offered $33 per share in cash, which would be about 40% higher than Frontier would pay for Spirit under terms of a deal announced in February. Frontier’s offer in cash and stock was worth $2.9 billion when it was announced, but Frontier's shares have fallen since then, reducing the value of the deal to Spirit shareholders.
Shares of Florida-based Spirit soared 22% after The New York Times first reported the JetBlue bid Tuesday.
In a statement, New York-based JetBlue said combining with Spirit would lead to lower fares by creating “the most compelling national low-fare challenger” to the nation's four biggest airlines: American, Delta, United and Southwest.
Denver-based Frontier used that same argument to support its acquisition of Spirit.
A Frontier-Spirit tie-up would combine Frontier’s route map in the western United States with Spirit’s network along the East Coast and the Caribbean. Both are discount airlines that offer rock-bottom fares and make up some of the difference by charging extra for many things that bigger airlines include in the ticket price, including carry-on bags and soft drinks.
JetBlue is not the same kind of so-called ultra-low-cost-carrier, and its base fares are often slightly higher than Frontier and Spirit. JetBlue's strength on the East Coast, including Florida, would mean much more overlap with Spirit.
Moreover, Frontier and Spirit are small enough that their deal might not get close scrutiny from antitrust regulators. Those same regulators already weighed in last year to try to block a much more limited partnership between JetBlue and American Airlines — that challenge is pending.
One area where all three are similar: consumer complaints. Spirit had the highest rate of complaints to the U.S. Transportation Department last year, followed by JetBlue and Frontier.

Microsoft continues to add new features and changes to Windows 11. Since the company unveiled the operating system in 2021, it has been updating it with some big changes. The newest Windows 11 update the company unveiled looks to make another few changes, including a cloud-based File Explorer and more security features.
Microsoft unveils Windows 11 update with File Explorer changes
The update that Microsoft showcased today looks to focus heavily around expanding the operating system’s capabilities for hybrid work. That means system-wide improvements like video-calling and even better security. With this unveiling, Microsoft introduced a new cloud-based File Explorer. The new system will give you access to all your files in one central place.
Additionally, with this latest Windows 11 update, Microsoft is adding the ability to open multiple tabs in File Explorer, akin to how browsers work. This will let you easily move between different folders. The company is also adding touch Snap layouts, which make it easier to arrange your apps on devices that utilize touch screens. This is all part of Microsoft’s bid to continue making Windows 11 the most accessible version of the OS.
New security tools to keep your work safer
Another big part of this unveiled Windows 11 update is the addition of new security features. Microsoft says these features will address the growing concerns around cybersecurity issues. These new enhancements include Smart App Control, which uses code signing to ensure that only trusted applications are run on your system.
The tech giant is also adding in Microsoft Defender SmartScreen. This system will detect when you are entering your Microsoft account login into a malicious application. It’s a handy feature, and one that will no doubt help bring extra protection to the operating system. Additionally, Microsoft says that it wants to bring that same power to the cloud with an updatable Microsoft Pluton security processor.
This is all part of the company’s plan to create chip-to-cloud security in Windows 11. However, Microsoft has not shared exact details of when you can expect this Windows 11 update to drop. Instead, all we can do is wait around and see what the company does next. This isn’t even the latest unveiling that the company has made, either.
Previously we saw Microsoft adding a message that shames you for running Windows 11 on an unsupported computer. We’ve also previously seen notes about the introduction of Smart App Control. It will be interesting to see what else Microsoft has cooking for its latest operating system.

Mackenzie Dern has her weight cut down to a science, but she is still shaking off lingering doubts. Dern faces Tecia Torres on the main card of UFC 273 and hopes to step foot inside the Octagon heavier than she has in recent fights.
Dern missed weight in two of her first three professional fights on the regional circuit. She received significant criticism after missing weight in her second UFC fight, marking the third time she missed weight in her six career strawweight fights. Cutting weight has not been an issue for years now and Dern credits the success to the birth of her daughter in June 2019.
"My pregnancy really did restart my body and my metabolism and everything. Breastfeeding, I lost so much body fat with that," Dern told CBS Sports. "When I made the transition from jiu-jitsu to MMA, I was doing these different kinds of weight cuts where they want you to lose water weight. In jiu-jitsu, you don't have that. In jiu-jitsu, we weigh in and we fight at the same moment. No one really cuts that way. I started my MMA career doing these different diets. My body and my hormones and everything were getting unbalanced... I lost a lot of muscle mass too."
Check out the full interview with Mackenzie Dern below.
Despite successfully hitting the scales in her last six consecutive fights, that turbulent period still weighs on Dern. In fact, the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction.
"Now my problem is -- almost because of what I went through with not making weight and the negativity and criticism and everything -- my last couple of fights, I've been so scared to not make weight," Dern said. "I'm on top of it. My last fight, I weighed 114.5. The [contracted] weigh-in is 115. The next day, I was 116 on the day of the fight. For me, I wish I was heavier than that but 'no, no, no, I shouldn't eat anything. I want to make sure I make the weight.' I needed to calm down and not worry. 'Don't worry, you can get it.' It was kind of a little bit of trauma."
Dern is teetering inside the UFC women's strawweight top five. A win over Torres likely puts her behind Marina Rodriguez as likely challengers for the winner of Rose Namajunas vs. Carla Esparza, assuming the outcome of UFC 274 does not conjure a Namajunas-Esparza trilogy fight. Dern is in no rush and prefers to hone her skills further before challenging for UFC gold.
"If I get in and submit or knock her out, if it's a great performance. I think we're definitely closer than further away," Dern said. "If it's a hard fight, a judges' decision, I'm definitely not in a rush to get to the belt so fast. I want to make sure I get ready and be prepared. Maybe I'd like to fight the loser of Carla and Rose. I've always wanted to fight a wrestler. I've never fought a wrestler before. I fought a jiu-jitsu girl, I fought strikers. I'd like to see how my game is."
Dern vs. Torres takes place in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, April 9. The pay-per-view card is headlined by UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski vs. "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung. The co-main event features UFC bantamweight titleholder Aljamain Sterling vs. Petr Yan.

April 5 (Reuters) - Ontario's ruling Progressive Conservative government said on Tuesday it plans to raise the hourly minimum wage by 50 Canadian cents beginning in October, in what would be the second hike in an election year for the most populous Canadian province.
The proposed pay raise, if passed by the provincial legislature, would take the general minimum wage to C$15.50 ($12.41) per hour starting on Oct. 1, nearly four months after the province's June 2 election, according to a statement from the Ontario government. That would translate to an annual pay increase of C$1,768 for minimum-wage workers working 40 hours a week.
"For many Ontarians, wages haven't kept up with the increasing cost of living, making it harder than ever to make ends meet," Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in the statement.
On Jan. 1, the hourly minimum wage in the province rose to $C15 from C$14.35.
Inflation in Canada is at a 30-year high, and a Bank of Canada survey showed on Monday that businesses now expect inflation to stay above the central bank's target range of 1% to 3% over the next two years.
Ford's government, which is favored to be re-elected, has announced a host of measures it says are aimed at reducing living costs for Ontario residents.
On Monday, the government introduced legislation to reduce taxes on gas and fuel that, if approved by the legislature, would take effect after the June election.
Ontario has removed tolls on some highways and eliminated vehicle license plate renewal fees in recent weeks. Ford has also announced an increase in the real estate speculation tax for foreign buyers to 20% from 15%. ($1 = 1.2490 Canadian dollars)

After a hiring scandal that led to the retirement of the Chief State’s Attorney, the Judiciary Committee approved two bills last week that will make sweeping changes in the way prosecutors are trained, overseen and reviewed.
The version of SB 307 will shorten the length of appointment for state’s attorneys who prosecute cases in 13 judicial districts from eight years to five years and require the state Office of Governmental Accountability to provide the administrative function for the state’s Criminal Justice Commission which hires, fires and disciplines prosecutors including the Chief State’s Attorney.
The bill also adds language that will allow the Criminal Justice Commission to discipline Chief State’s Attorneys for up to a 15-day suspension without pay, requires the state’s Criminal Justice Advisory Board to draft policies to increase efficiency and fairness and eliminate bias in all judicial districts and requires the Chief State’s Attorney to provide training in bias, collateral consequences of arrest, the role mental health and trauma have on behavior and other areas.
HB 5499 which also was approved Thursday prohibits prosecutors from holding elected office or practicing law outside of their duties within the state’s Division of Criminal Justice and allowed the Criminal Justice Commission to discipline Chief State’s Attorneys with up to a 15-day suspension.
Some of the changes were based on recommendations of the Criminal Justice Commission which accepted the retirement of Chief State’s Attorney Richard J. Colangelo Jr., on Feb. 9 as the body was seeking to conduct an investigation into a hiring scandal within his office.
But Rep. Craig Fishbein, R-Wallingford, called the legislation “anti-police” and “anti-prosecutor” before announcing he would be voting against it. “At some point there’s got to be accountability,” Fishbein said of the portion of the bill that required several agencies to collect data on arrests, diversionary programs and plea agreements. “People just don’t get up and get arrested because they woke up or left the house, they got arrested because they committed a crime.”
Fishbein and 15 other Republicans voted against SB 307 which passed with 23 votes. The bill will now go to the Senate for debate. Fishbein joined nearly every other Judiciary Committee member in voting in favor of HB 5499. That bill will go to the House.
Under current state law, the Criminal Justice Commission can only terminate a Chief State’s Attorney after a lengthy process that includes an investigation and a hearing. The Division of Criminal Justice provides the administrative function for the Criminal Justice Commission, which has no budget to speak of and no staff.
SB 307 would place the administrative function for the commission with the Office of Governmental Accountability which would also have additional duties to provide performance reports on all judicial districts based on a wide array of demographic and sentencing data compiled by the Division of Criminal Justice, the Judicial Branch, the state Department of Correction and the state’s Criminal Justice Information Sharing Governing Board.
The data will include information on arrests, arraignments, diversionary programs, the number of people who complete diversionary programs, the number of plea agreements and demographic data on defendants.
The policy recommendations drafted by the Criminal Justice Advisory Committee would be given to the Judiciary Committee for review and action, said Judiciary Committee Co-Chair Gary Winfield, D-New Haven. “I want to be clear that the policy recommendations will be coming to the elected body,” Winfield said.
Colangelo retired before the commission could conduct a hearing that members contended would have led to his termination. His actions came into question after he hired the daughter of state Office of Policy and Management Deputy Commissioner Kosta Diamantis as he was pressing the agency for raises for himself and other prosecutors.
Diamantis is now under federal investigation for his activities as the head of state’s school construction grant program. He retired in October as he was about to be placed on leave.
SB 307 requires the Chief State’s Attorney to provide extensive training in a number of areas including on bias in prosecution and ethics.
The Criminal Justice Commission is in the process of hiring a new Chief State’s Attorney. Commission chair state Supreme Court Justice Andrew McDonald told Gov. Ned Lamont in a letter providing recommendations on how to prevent future conflicts of interests within the Division of Criminal Justice that the next Chief State’s Attorney needed to stress ethics policies among staff.
“The Commission believes that the input of the new Chief State’s Attorney will be critical in determining what changes to these policies are appropriate in restoring public confidence in the integrity of the Division,” McDonald said in the letter.

If there was ever an ideal way to find out that Hollywood was making a reboot of the 90s cult classic, The Crow, learning that FKA twigs has been cast in the upcoming adaptation is a pretty damn close.
Fresh off the release of her star-studded CAPRISONGS mixtape, the UK singer-songwriter is set to appear opposite Bill Skarsgård — who recently terrorized the Stranger Things kids as Pennywise in the recent It adaptation — playing Eric Draven in the forthcoming reboot. It's unclear as to what role twigs will play in the film but early odds are on it being either Eric's fiancée Shelly Webster or friend of the couple, Sarah.
Based on the James O’Barr comic of the same name, The Crow tells the tale of Eric, a murdered musician who gets resurrected by a crow in order to avenge the death of his fiancée. The 1994 film is perhaps best known for the accidental on-set death of star, Brandon Lee, after he was shot by a prop gun, a tidbit that's become relevant once again given recent current events. Lee, the son of trailblazing actor and martial artist Bruce Lee, was posthumously praised for his role in the movie cementing its cult status.
There have been several previous attempts at rebooting the gothic superhero thriller with names like Jason Momoa, Mark Wahlberg, Bradley Cooper and director Corin Hardy all having been attached to the project at one point. The announcement of Skarsgård and twigs' castings, however, is perhaps the most promising sign that the reboot will get up off the ground.
Snow White and the Huntsman and Ghost in the Shell's Rupert Sanders is set to direct the "modern reimagining" of the film. "The Crow is beautiful, dark, poetic and sometimes disturbing," Sanders said in a statement. "It is a story of love, loss, grief and revenge. It is a great honor to revisit James O'Barr's iconic comic and reimagine The Crow as a foreboding voice of today."
Filming is set to commence as early as this June.

The Super Popular Meal Combo Dave & Buster's Is Bringing Back
You may have fond memories of Chuck E. Cheese as a kid, playing all the games and scoring heaps upon heaps of tickets in between stuffing your face with pizza. As an adult, you may not be able to go back to Chuck E. Cheese and relive memories of the ball pit, but you can still cut loose and have some fun at the intersection of entertainment and dining. Enter Dave & Buster's, which offers a more mature way to harness those childhood memories.
Ever since opening in 1982 in Dallas, Texas, Dave & Buster's have sought to create an atmosphere that combines the thrill of an arcade with the rowdy "good times" you'd find at any sports bar. Sure, there may not be a animatronic mouse singing about pizza, but with plenty of liquor, bar food, and sports on TV, it's safe to say it's a fair trade. While the whole "non-stop entertainment" gimmick has proven profitable — NASDAQ even went so far as to say this unique business model was "crushing the competition" back in 2015 — the food at Dave & Buster's is also a key part in keeping the restaurant chain in business. After all, there's no better way to cool off after a night of arcade games than sitting down to eat some wings and watching college basketball with your friends.
The restaurant and entertainment center has recently brought back a fan-favorite combo: the Eat & Play Combo, which encourages diners to do exactly that.
What is the Eat & Play Combo?
When you go to Dave & Buster's, you're given a "Power Card," which can be loaded with any number of points that you can use to play games. You can add points on your Power Card through real money transactions — the current exchange rate, according to the Dave & Buster's website, is $15 for 75 chips at minimum and goes up to $100 for 750 chips. But what does the Eat & Play Combo have to do with this?
According to a press release, the Eat & Play Combo allows you to get a meal and a pre-loaded Power Card for a set price. For $19.99, you can get one of seven entrees, like Buster's All-American Cheeseburger or a Double Pepperoni Flatbread, that comes with a Power Card loaded with $10 worth of points for arcade use. If a $10 Power Card isn't enough, you can pay extra to increase the amount of points that come on the card. The more points you get with the combo, the better the deal gets: The highest you can go is $75 dollars (or 550 points) for $78.99, which means you're technically getting an entree for just $3.99.
The Eat & Play Combo is only happening for a limited time — from March 28 to May 1. If you want to take advantage of the deal, it's recommended you find the nearest Dave & Buster's soon.

The recent revelation about the alleged sale of the (rights to) MySejahtera app from Entomo to MySJ Sdn Bhd for RM338.6mil has rattled Malaysian citizens and residents, many who assumed that the government was the owner and in control of the app.
Many are concerned about their health-related data falling into the wrong hands as well as the possibility of the government paying an exorbitant sum to a third party for ownership of the app and related services. They are right to fear this, as the government is negotiating to pay MySJ for the app, albeit with the assurances from Khairy that the figure is much lower than RM300mil, something that doesn’t quite sit well with most Malaysians.
We have now reached a point in the pandemic situation where contact tracing (being flagged based on check-in to a specific venue) is no longer being practiced and therefore, check-in requirement will be moot very soon. It is absolutely unnecessary to track the movement of people in accordance to their locations.
However, the vaccine certificates are still required for purposes of dine-in, travel and so on. That said, there is no need for vaccine certificates to be ‘hosted’ solely in the MySejahtera app.
There is nothing stopping the government from allowing other credible and verified apps such as Grab, Touch N Go for example, to also host the vaccine certificate within their app. The people should also be able to carry their vaccine cards as proof of vaccination instead of making MySejahtera mandatory.
This way, vaccine recipients can choose their method of choice to host the vaccine certificate and not have to rely on MySejahtera to prove their vaccination status.
The government also won’t be beholden to MySJ Sdn Bhd in negotiating price and terms for the application. The government also won’t have to cough up potentially hundreds of millions of ringgit to MySJ. Unless, the negotiations with MySejahtera have other motives like someone taking a cut of it.
The existing check-in data must also be deleted ASAP. And a mere announcement of deleting these data is not enough. We need at least one, if not two independent auditors to confirm that this has truly happened, and no data breach has happened.

Russian troops shot dead the mayor of Motyzhyn, a town 30 miles west of Kyiv, along with her husband and son, according to claims from local residents.
The bodies were reportedly thrown into a pit in a pine forest behind houses where Russian forces had slept, The Associated Press said.
The mayor’s husband had his hands behind his back, with a piece of rope nearby, and a piece of plastic wrapped around his eyes like a blindfold, the news agency reported.
Journalists found four bodies inside the pit, all of whom seemed to have been shot at close range.
Ukraine’s deputy prime minister Iryna Vereshchuk said that the mayor, Olga Sukhenko, had been killed while being held by Russian forces.
She added in a video message posted on her Telegram account that eleven other local community leaders across the country have been kidnapped by the Russian army.
Speaking on Sunday, Ms Vereshchuk said: “Up to today, 11 heads of local communities in the regions of Kyiv, Kherson, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv and Donetsk are in captivity.
“We are informing the International Committee of the Red Cross, the UN, all possible organisations, just like for the other civilians who have disappeared.”
Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Monday that the discovery of civilians’ bodies in Bucha and Irpin, some with their hands tied behind their backs, should be classified as a genocide.
Mr Morawiecki said Russia’s invasion was “pure evil” and supported the establishment of an international commission to investigate Russian crimes committed in Ukraine.
French president Emmanuel Macron said there were “clear indications of war crimes” in Bucha, and called for further sanctions on Russia.
The Ukrainian government has accused Russia’s armed forces of carrying out a “genocide”.
Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said: “[The] Bucha massacre was deliberate. We are still gathering and looking for bodies, but the number has already gone into the hundreds.
“Dead bodies lie on the streets. They killed civilians while staying there and when they were leaving these villages and towns.”
The Independent has a proud history of campaigning for the rights of the most vulnerable, and we first ran our Refugees Welcome campaign during the war in Syria in 2015. Now, as we renew our campaign and launch this petition in the wake of the unfolding Ukrainian crisis, we are calling on the government to go further and faster to ensure help is delivered.

Veterans of the music world – keyboardist Rick Wakeman and crooner Engelbert Humperdinck – have been recognised for careers spanning more than five decades.
Wakeman best known for playing with prog-rock superstars Yes, and who also worked with David Bowie and Sir Elton John, was made a CBE by the Princess Royal.
Humperdick, who rose to prominence in the late 1960s with chart-topping hits such as Release Me and The Last Waltz, was made an MBE during the investiture ceremony hosted by Anne at Windsor Castle.
Despite his advancing years, Wakeman shows no sign of letting up: “I’ve done London, Sheffield, Birmingham, Glasgow and Newcastle in the last five days and then it was cut short to come back and do this,” he said.
The 72-year-old, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017, added: “I love it, I wouldn’t do it otherwise.
“I was born in 1949 and radio was, shall we say, you had the Home Service and the Light Programme and television was in its infancy – by the time you turned it on and it warmed up, you had to turn it off – so it was just making music and playing football.”
Wakeman, whose solo albums have sold more than 50 million copies, was born and raised in Perivale, west London, and trained to become a concert pianist.
However, he quit his studies at the Royal College of Music in 1969 to become a session musician, with early work including Space Oddity by Bowie.
He was enlisted by The Strawbs in 1970 before joining progressive rock pioneers Yes a year later and went on to play on many of their most successful albums across two stints until 1980, and has since returned to the band on a number of occasions.
Looking back at his career, the musician added: “Working with David Bowie was amazing – I did quite a lot with him, his Space Oddity single, Hunky Dory album.
“I’ve played on some nice records: Cat Stevens’ Morning Has Broken – I did all the piano for that and then working with Yes playing big stadiums. And I enjoyed just as much playing in a small venue – I’m quite happy.”
As well as his quirky stage name, Humperdinck, 85, is famous for his trademark sideburns, dyed auburn hair and deep tan, which he shows off regularly in the jovial videos he shares on social media.
His popularity has endured through the decades and the singer was still active and touring before the coronavirus pandemic intervened.
Humperdinck was born with the slightly more mundane moniker Arnold George Dorsey in Madras, India, where his father was stationed with the British Army.
After some success in Europe in the mid-1960s, Humperdinck exploded in popularity with his 1967 cover of Release Me.
The song, which arguably remains his best known, reached number one in the UK – beating the Beatles’ Penny Lane – and broke into the top 10 across the Atlantic.
Humperdinck’s catalogue of saccharine love songs – including The Last Waltz, Spanish Eyes and Quando Quando Quando – earned him the nickname “the King of Romance”.
The veteran entertainer, who has sold more than 140 million records around the world, said after the ceremony: “I’m overwhelmed, and a Member of the British Empire is a great order, and I thank Her Royal Highness for giving it to me today.
“I’ve been successful since 1967 and I’m still doing it, and I start on a European tour very shortly and thank god the pandemic is over so we can continue with the job we do best.”
During the ceremony, actor Sir Jonathan Pryce, who declined to speak to the press, was knighted for services to acting and charity.
During his career, the 74-year-old Welsh actor, who has won two Tony Awards and two Olivier Awards, was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Pope Francis in The Two Popes.
He has also supported several charities, including Amnesty International, Epilepsy Action and Neurofibromatosis Association.
Dame Kate Bingham, former chair of the UK Government’s Vaccine Taskforce, was made a dame during the event.
She led the taskforce which selected and pre-ordered the most promising vaccine candidates while they were still in clinical trials which enabled the speedy rollout of the vaccine programme.
Dame Kate said: “I think it’s fantastic, I just wish somehow it recognised a team, because I’m put out as a figurehead when in fact it was a team of women and men from all different backgrounds and expertise.
“And we never met, we only ever did anything on Zoom and we had experts from industry who came together with experts from Government and it worked extremely well.”

Which body bronzer is best?
When it comes to making your skin appear darker than it usually does, tanning in the sun or via artificial beds isn’t the healthiest option for your skin. Body bronzers, on the other hand, can safely provide a golden glow with little effort. Be careful though — not all bronzers are formulated for maximum efficiency when used on the body, and some tanning lotions market themselves as bronzers when they aren’t.
If you’re ready to give body bronzers a try, the best is the Firstfly Liquid Illuminator for Face and Body. It’s moisturizing, illuminating and comes in three shades.
What to know before you buy a body bronzer
Formula
Body bronzers come in three formulas: powder, liquid and cream.
- Powders are best for oily skin types. They typically come in compact disks and are usually applied by brush.
- Liquids are the most varied formula. Some can be as thin as water, others are thick enough to practically be creams. Depending on the thickness of the formula, they can come with pump, doe-foot or squeeze tube applicators. They can be used with oily skin but are best for drier skins.
- Creams are the thickest formula. They often have the most moisturizing properties and the highest degrees of sun protection. They usually come in pots, though some may use squeeze tubes. They can be suitable for most skin types, depending on the specific formula.
Body vs. face
A majority of bronzers are designed for use on both the face and body or only the face. There are a handful of bronzers meant for use only on the body. They often have higher levels of moisturization than face-only or mixed-intention bronzers and can lead to breakouts and clogged pores if used on the face. Conversely, it’s perfectly fine to use a face-only bronzer on the body — it just won’t be as effective.
Self-tanning
Some body bronzers include elements of tanning lotion. These provide an immediate benefit of artificial skin darkening while promoting natural tanning that can leave your skin darker for as long as a week. Use caution when shopping for bronzers with self-tanner — some tanning lotions market themselves as bronzers but don’t provide the immediate darkening effect, only a boost in natural tanning.
What to look for in a quality body bronzer
Shade and finish
Each body bronzers has a shade and finish.
- Shade: Body bronzers don’t have the same range of shades that most other makeups do. Many only come in one shade or offer deeper tones of the same shade. Bronzers with multiple shades usually offer one bronze-like shade and alternate colors such as gold.
- Finish: Most bronzers have radiant or glittery finishes. After all, bronze is a metal and metals typically have some amount of shine to them. Some powder bronzers do offer matte looks if you prefer.
Sun protection
Some bronzers, especially liquids with elements of self-tanning, include a small degree of sun protection. This is usually no stronger than 15 SPF, though some high-priced bronzers offer higher SPF.
How much you can expect to spend on a body bronzer
Body bronzer costs range between $5-$50. For less than $15, you’ll find effective products that don’t offer many special features. Spend up to $30 and you’ll find many special features. The very best cost $30 and up.
Body bronzer FAQ
What’s the best way to apply bronzer to the body?
A. That depends on the formula. Liquid and cream bronzers can be most easily applied to the body in one of two ways: by hand or by using a makeup sponge. Creams and thicker liquids are usually easier to apply by hand while thinner liquids are easier by sponge. Either method is doable for both creams and liquids should you find a particular method to be more comfortable for you. Powdered bronzer needs to be applied by makeup brush. Technically you can also apply liquid and cream bronzers with a makeup brush, but this will take much longer.
How long does a body bronzer last?
A. That depends on the formula. Most liquid and cream bronzers won’t last longer than a year, though a few might be stretchable to a year and a half. Powdered bronzers last longer, usually for 2-3 years.

Stocks fell in afternoon trading on Tuesday in New York and bond yields jumped as investors monitor the latest developments around Russia’s war against Ukraine and prepare for the next round of corporate earnings reports.
In late trade, the S&P 500 closed 1.6 per cent lower, the Dow Jones shed 0.8 per cent and the Nasdaq slumped 2.3 per cent. It sets up the Australian sharemarket for losses, with futures at 6.35am AEST pointing to a fall of 54 points, or 0.7 per cent, at the open.
Weakness from big technology stocks weighed down the broader market. Companies in the sector, with their pricey valuations, tend to push the market higher or lower more forcefully. Chipmaker Qualcomm fell 4.6 per cent.
Twitter rose another 4.2 per cent after disclosing an arrangement with Tesla chief Elon Musk that will give him a board seat but also limit how much of the company he can buy while he’s a director. The company disclosed a day earlier that the mercurial billionaire and Twitter critic had become the company’s largest shareholder.
Treasury yields jumped again as investors brace for more aggressive moves by the Federal Reserve to rein in the hottest inflation in 40 years. Federal Governor Lael Brainard said in a speech that it’s “of paramount importance” and that the central bank is set to keep raising short-term interest rates following its March hike, which was its first increase since 2018.
Traders are pricing in a nearly 78 per cent probability the Fed will raise its key overnight rate by half a percentage point at its next meeting in May. That’s double the usual amount and something the Fed hasn’t done since 2000. That helped the yield on the two-year Treasury jump to 2.51 per cent from 2.46 per cent, its highest level since March 2019.

NEW YORK, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues its investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: TCBI) resulting from allegations that Texas Capital may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Texas Capital securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=2747 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On March, 29, 2021, shares of Texas Capital stock dropped 13% on unusually heavy trading volume as prime brokers associated with now-defunct family office, Archegos Capital Management, unwound large U.S. stock positions linked to the fund.
A Bloomberg article published on November 16, 2021 detailed how Archegos built up a previously undisclosed position equal to 20% of Texas Capital prior to the margin calls that forced Archegos' liquidation. According to the article, Texas Capital was aware of the large position held by Archegos while it raised additional capital from investors in February 2021.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Reading edge out Stoke to boost survival hopes
By PA Staff published
Reading eased their Championship relegation fears as they moved eight points clear of the drop zone with a hard-fought 2-1 home victory over Stoke.
Skipper Michael Morrison put Reading ahead in the 13th minute as the home side dominated much of the first half, but Stoke substitute Romaine Sawyers equalised shortly before the interval.
Reading restored their lead midway through the second period when Lucas Joao’s header was deflected in by Stoke defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
The hosts had gone into the game unbeaten in three matches under interim manager Paul Ince.
Midfielder Josh Laurent scored an 82nd-minute equaliser in their 1-1 draw at relegation rivals Barnsley on Saturday, adding to his late winner in the previous 1-0 home win over Blackburn.
Mid-table Stoke had ended a winless run of eight league games with successive home wins over Millwall and Sheffield United.
However, they had not won on the road in seven outings since mid-January.
Reading’s Stoke loanee Tom Ince was ineligible to play against his parent club, with Junior Hoilett filling the gap.
And it was Canada international Hoilett who caused numerous problems for the Stoke defence on the right flank early on. From one of his many crosses, Reading went in front.
Morrison’s header was smartly saved by goalkeeper Jack Bonham at close range, but, fortuitously for the hosts, the ball rebounded back off Morrison and over the line.
Little was seen of Stoke as an attacking threat, with Reading goalkeeper Orjan Nyland not called upon in the early stages.
Stoke’s cause was not helped either when midfielder Jordan Thompson was injured after a poor tackle from Ovie Ejaria and had to be taken off on a stretcher.
One minute before the break, Stoke levelled through Sawyers, Thompson’s replacement, from their first attempt on target.
Sawyers sent in a powerful drive from the edge of the area and it flew through Nyland’s weak attempted save into the roof of the net.
Reading tried to quickly regain their lead after the break, but Laurent’s speculative effort from a tight angle was easily caught by Bonham.
Stoke replied through 11-goal top-scorer Jacob Brown, yet his optimistic 20-yarder flew well over the bar.
Bonham made a superb stop to deny Hoilett, but, in the 63rd minute, Reading went back in front.
Joao headed on John Swift’s corner and the ball ricocheted past Bonham off team-mate Harwood-Bellis.
Stoke tried to rally towards the end and should have made it 2-2, only for Brown to blast over an open goal from Tyrese Campbell’s pass.
And Reading held on for the much-needed win.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States should look at the development of more bases in Eastern Europe to protect against Russian aggression, but rotate forces through them rather than make permanent deployments, the top U.S military officer told Congress on Tuesday.
Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the basing could be funded by other countries such as Poland and the Baltics that want more U.S. troops. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said any effort to expand security in Eastern Europe is a “work in progress” that probably will be discussed at the NATO summit in June.
Milley and Austin were testifying before the House Armed Services Committee on the 2023 budget proposal, but much of the focus of the hearing was the Russian war against Ukraine and what the U.S. can do to better help Ukraine and strengthen security across Europe.
Milley was asked about the need to reallocate forces toEurope’s eastern flank, where NATO allies are worried that they may be Russia’s next target.
“My advice would be to create permanent bases but don’t permanently station (forces), so you get the effect of permanence by rotational forces cycling through permanent bases,” he said. “I believe that a lot of our European allies, especially those such as the Baltics or Poland and Romania, and elsewhere — they’re very, very willing to establish permanent bases. They’ll build them, they’ll pay for them.”
Austin added that he recently visited and spoke with leaders in the Baltics, noting that they made it clear they value U.S. troops there. “We’ll continue to work with NATO to assess what the requirements will be moving forward,” Austin said. “We will be part of that solution.”
The Pentagon is continuing to review its troop numbers across Europe, and whether to add more or shift some of those already there to other locations. Milley said Tuesday that while there are no decisions yet, there’s a possibility, if not a probability” of increase U.S. troops in Europe, and that need could be filled by rotational forces.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg announced last month that NATO is creating four new battlegroups, which usually number between 1,000 troops and 1,500 troops, to send to Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria. NATO allies are set to discuss additional security measures at the upcoming summit.
Milley has advocated using rotational forces more around the globe to defray the costs of permanently stationing troops and their families in allied countries at risk of war, such as South Korea and in the Persian Gulf. He said using this would eliminate some of the costs associated with schools, housing and other such services.
Rotational forces deploy for shorter periods of time. Permanent forces are often deployed for two years to three years.
Milley also agreed that Moscow’s aggression in Ukraine, and its ongoing demands that the U.S. and NATO reduce troops and arms in European countries along Russia’s borders, signal a lengthy conflict in the region that extends beyond Ukraine.
“I do think this is a very protracted conflict and I think it’s at least measured in years. I don’t know about decades, but at least years for sure,” said Milley. “I think that NATO, the United States, Ukraine and all of the allies and partners that are supporting Ukraine are going to be involved in this for quite some time.”
Austin added that the broad Russian demands were not acceptable to NATO, and the U.S. is looking at ways to provide additional aid and training to countries, including non-NATO allies such as Georgia and Finland.
Members of Congress pressed Austin and Milley on what could have stopped Russia from invading Ukraine, and that sanctions did not work as a deterrent.
Both said that the only possible way to deter Russian may have been to put U.S. troops on the ground inside Ukraine, but that option was rejected because it risked a broader U.S. war with Russia. Milley said he isn’t sure Russian President Vladimir Putin was deterrable since invading Ukraine has been a long-term goal for Moscow.
Milley and Austin also told the committee that the U.S. has learned a number of things as it has watched Russia struggle to fight against an unexpectedly fierce Ukrainian defense over the past month. They said Russia has significant military capabilities but has been unable to use them effectively.
Austin said Russian forces lack training among their noncommissioned officers and the Kremlin has been unable to get the supplies and logistics needed to ground troops
Austin said Ukraine has used Stinger and Javelin missiles effectively against Russian troops and weapons. Milley said that Ukraine’s junior officers, many trained by the U.S., have shown initiative and good command and control abilities.

Henderson County to receive nearly $9 million in opioid settlement funds
Henderson County is set to receive nearly $9 million in opioid settlement funds to use toward treatment programs and support services.
Chairman Bill Lapsley made the announcement at Monday’s board of commissioners’ meeting. The county will receive $8.89 million over the course of 18 years. The first payment will drop in 2022 and the last in 2038. Over $1 million will pour into Henderson County this calendar year. The first payment will be $341,845, and the second $751,785.
The county’s Substance Abuse Task Force will bring recommendations to commissioners, who will ultimately decide how to disburse the money to local agencies and programs. The task force, which originally formed in 2018, has met three times since January. It will likely meet once more before meeting with commissioners, who will work with nonprofits, local law enforcement and the court system on the next steps.
Lapsley, who helped led the substance misuse task force, shared the four key recommendations the group gathered from its meetings this year:
Early intervention programs
- Services for children and adolescents with problematic use of drugs or mental health conditions
- Training programs for parents and families, school staff, county social services and public health staff, among others
Criminal justice diversion programs
- Pre-arrest, post-arrest and pre-trial service programs to connect individuals to addiction treatment, harm reduction services, etc.
Recovery support services
- Evidence based peer support services with specialists or care navigators
- Housing support for people in treatment or recovery (rent assistance, utilities, etc.)
Evidence-based addiction treatment
- Opioid treatment programs through office based/federally qualified treatment centers
- Treatment in conjunction with criminal justice programs
- Support evidence-based addiction treatment facilities per the national practice guidelines
“...I am proud that we are doing some of these already,” Lapsley said.
All commissioners appeared onboard with the recommendations Lapsley presented. Vice Chair Rebecca McCall requested that none of the funds go to treatments that will end up benefitting the entities that caused the opioid crisis in the first place.
North Carolina
North Carolina will get $750 million from the settlement. The total nationwide agreement is for $26 billion from three major pharmaceutical distributors — Cardinal, McKesson, and AmerisourceBergen — and Johnson & Johnson.
“These companies made billions of dollars while millions of Americans got hooked on opioids,” Attorney General Josh Stein said in a statement back in February. “In North Carolina, we’ve already lost at least 20,000 people to this crisis, and countless families more have been devastated by loss and addiction. That’s why I led a bi-partisan coalition of attorneys general from across the country to hold them accountable. We achieved the second-largest state attorney general settlement in history — $26 billion.
“As a result, North Carolina communities will begin to receive money this year to help people struggling with substance misuse. The treatment, recovery, prevention and harm reduction services that will be available across the state will help people regain control over their lives and make North Carolina safer. I’m grateful to the counties and cities that have joined us in the years-long work to bring this money home to North Carolina. I pray that these funds will help us take a giant leap forward towards a better future for all North Carolinians.”
The agreement marks the culmination of three years of negotiations to resolve more than 4,000 claims of state and local governments across the country. It is the second-largest multistate agreement in U.S. history, only exceeded by the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement, according to a news release from Stein’s office.
Fifty-two states and territories have signed on to the agreement as well as thousands of local governments across the country.
In North Carolina, all 100 counties as well as 47 municipalities have signed the agreement. As a result, North Carolina will receive its full share of $750 million. Eighty-five percent of these funds will go directly to North Carolina’s local communities to support treatment, recovery, harm reduction and other strategies to address the opioid epidemic. The balance will go to the state for the same purposes, according to the release.
North Carolina’s opioid settlement dashboard, ncopioidsettlement.org, offers tools, resources and other information to local governments receiving opioid settlement funds and will serve as an information clearinghouse for reports on the use and impact of opioid settlement funds for the duration of the 18-year settlement.

In an interview with The Ringer shortly after his triumphant WWE return at WrestleMania 38, Cody Rhodes was asked the first person he called after inking a WWE contract few weeks ago.
“Nobody,” Rhodes responded. “The real ones, the OGs knew [I was coming back]. The one guy who had a hard time not being told was Kevin Owens. I was just wanted to keep it quiet, keep it on the low.
“I didn’t even tell Randy [Orton], I haven’t even seen Randy. I heard he’s a really good guy. It blows my mind. This guy threw a dynamite stick in a lobby in Mexico the first week I met him. Now, he’s a family man? What the hell are we doing? I didn’t tell anyone, I kept it very limited. Only Randy knew, my mom knew, maybe a few others.
“My cousin works here as a timekeeper, and even he didn’t know. It was the best-kept secret in wrestling but I really wanted to keep everything low-key. WrestleMania is the one time you don’t know what’s happening, and won’t know until you see it. Like when Bryan Danielson won the title at WrestleMania 30, you knew he was going to, but had to wait until the end of the night to see it.”
When asked why his WWE comeback match happened against Seth Rollins, Rhodes felt a WrestleMania showdown against Rollins was ordained for years.
“There’s nobody else it could have been,” Cody Rhodes said. “Seth walked into the ring at a live event in Michigan, it was his first match after coming out of FCW. It was against me. Then, in Dayton, Ohio, he had his first dark match on TV against me. The Shield vs. Rhodes Brothers were some special matches that I blocked out of my head for some reason.
“It needed to be him. And here’s why: this isn’t a knock against Seth, but I heard so much about Dusty’s kids at NXT, to the point where: ‘what about his real kids?’ Again, [I’m a] slow learner, maybe it took me a while to walk out there and win his respect, as he earned mine once. But this is a different guy now, he’s been to the top of the mountain. It couldn’t have been anybody else. It had to be him – now that I think about it.”

NEW YORK — In a move that ends a tradition dating more than 150 years, Major League Baseball approved the use of an electronic device for catchers to signal pitches in an effort to eliminate sign stealing and speed games.
Since the beginning of baseball in the 19th century, catchers had used their fingers to signal the type of pitch and its intended location.
As video at balllparks increased in the 21st century, so did sign stealing — and worries about how teams were trying to swipe signals. The Houston Astros were penalized for using a camera and banging a trash can to alert their batters to pitch types during their run to the 2017 World Series title.
“It basically eliminates all need to create a sign system, for a catcher giving signs,” MLB chief operations and strategy officer Chris Marinak said Tuesday. “You literally just press a button and it delivers the pitch call to the pitcher. And what we've seen so far, it really improves pace of game."
Some teams tried the system in spring training, with manager Tony La Russa of the Chicago White Sox and Aaron Boone of the New York Yankees among those saying they liked what they saw.
Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka used it a couple times this spring training, including Tuesday with pitcher Michael King against Detroit in New York's final exhibition game.
“There’s still some stuff we’ve got to work through, but I mean the fail safe is always just give signs. So, that’s always there when we need it. We’re just working out all the kinks right now. If we run into stumbling blocks in-game, we can always give signs. I’m not too worried about it being confusing,” he said.
“I like it. At first today I gave signs to King because I didn’t have a chance to talk to him about it, so I started getting all messed up with it. So I just decided to give signs, and that worked fine," he said.
MLB is providing each team with three transmitters, 10 receivers and a charging case for the PitchCom Pitcher Catcher Communication Device. It is available in English and Spanish.
“A maximum of five receivers and one transmitter may be in any use at any given time," MLB wrote in a five-page memorandum Tuesday to general managers, assistant GMs, managers and equipment managers, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press.
A catcher has nine choices on his wristband device: “four seam high inside, curve hi middle, slider hi outside, change mid inside, sinker middle, cutter mid out, splitter low inside, knuckle lo middle, two seam low outside.”
A thin band tucked inside a cap allows the audio to be heard at an adjustable level, envisioned to be used by pitchers, second baseman, shortstops and center fielders.
“When changing pitchers, the manager shall provide a receiver to the replacement pitcher,” the memo said.
Receivers and transmitters can be used only on the field and may not be operated during games in clubhouses, dugouts or bullpens.
“Signals communicated via PitchCom may only be given by the catcher in the game. Signals may not be sent from the dugout, bullpen, a different player in the field, or anywhere else,” the memo said. “Clubs are responsible for their PitchCom devices. Any club that loses a transmitter or receiver will be charged a replacement fee of $5,000 per unit.”
Marinak said about half of the 30 MLB clubs had expressed interest.
“I'm not sure that every team will use it," Marinak said during MLB's third annual innovation and fan engagement showcase. “I think this is a kind of a personal preference kind of thing.”
Union head Tony Clark pointed out the devices are not mandatory.
“It was important to ensure the flexibility for players to use — or not use — the technology at their own discretion," the former All-Star first baseman said in a statement. "The guys on the field are in the best position to make decisions as individuals about whether it’s right for them.”
Players may not longer watch in-game video replays on clubhouse televisions but may review video only on iPads controlled by the MLB office. The video will be updated only at the end of each half-inning and players can go back and replay, but may not see content during a half-inning in progress.
“Players don't have access to any technology that's above and beyond what we're offering in terms of in-game video," Marinak said. "We also monitor all the transmission of traffic so that we understand what content is being delivered to the iPad.”
The new system of umpires having microphones to explain video reviews to fans began with an exhibition game at Dodger Stadium on Monday night. MLB also is now taking in video from 104 of 120 minor league ballparks
The automated ball/strike system of computer plate umpires will be used at 10 Triple-A West parks, Charlotte in Triple-A East and Low-A Southeast. MLB intends to illustrate the calls on stadium scoreboards.
Pitch clocks will be used at all minor league stadiums, likely a prelude to their installation at big league ballparks for 2023.
MLB showed off its new 1,400-square foot replay operations center in midtown Manhattan, which opened just as COVID-19 struck in 2020 and replaced a 900-square foot facility in SoHo that had been used since 2014.
There are 90 46-inch professional monitors and 60 24-inch touchscreen monitors in the 31 x 29-foot room, with three desks with six screens behind them for supervisors and administrators, then two more rows with technicians.
MLB takes in 18 cameras from each ballpark showing 60 frames per second plus up to four high-speed cameras as fast as 360-480 frames per second, according to Chris Zagorski, vice president of replay operations and technology.
There is a backup replay center in San Francisco, in case of a power outage in New York. For special event games such as in Dyersville, Iowa, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and London, a replay room is set up on site.
Marinak said that fans using the MLB Ballpark app to enter stadiums with electronic tickets rose from 3% in 2017 to 19% in 2019 to 56% in 2021.
MLB also said the earliest helmet advertisements would begin appearing would be during the 2022 postseason. Players agreed last month to uniform and helmet ads, and the jersey ads will not start until 2023 at the earliest.

For many, age is just a number, but it’s the body that can end up slowing you down rather than the brain or the way you feel on the inside.
BestReviews’ fitness expert Judd NeSmith, NASM-CPT, PES, is a skilled personal trainer and the founder of Serious Fitness. In 2020, he created an online program containing strength and conditioning workouts for people ages 50-plus.
NeSmith is here to give the lowdown on exercises that can reduce pain caused by aging.
Exercises for neck and shoulder pain
Scapular wall slides
“The neck and shoulders of the cervical spine area is a really common area where people experience a lot of pain as they get older,” says NeSmith. He recommends scapular wall slides to help people with neck and shoulder pain. It’s a simple exercise you can do anywhere with access to a wall.
- Start by standing with your back against a wall and your knees slightly bent.
- Put your arms against the wall and imagine you’re making a W with your elbows close to your waist.
- Slide your arms against the wall above your head to make a Y.
- Repeat 10 times.
“This strengthens a very notoriously weak muscle called the lower trapezius muscle. It also stretches the front part of your shoulders and area called your pectoralis minor,” NeSmith explains.
Chin tucks
NeSmith recommends chin tucks for anyone who suffers from neck or shoulder pain. He says, “I do these daily. I do them in the shower — I do them while I shave — I do them in the gym — because I’m that guy who had a lot of neck and shoulder problems from playing football.”
- Sit in a chair or stand with your arms hanging by your side.
- Turn your palms forward to open up your shoulders. Bring your shoulders down and try to push your chin back as far as possible. Imagine you’re trying to press the back of your head into an invisible wall behind you. The name “chin tuck” can be misleading because you’re not tucking your chin down into your chest.
- Now bring your chin forward and repeat 10 times.
Exercises for lower back pain
Dead bugs
Pain in the lower back is a common complaint as people age. NeSmith recommends an exercise called dead bugs. He says it can “re-educate somebody on how to properly recruit their core muscles to stabilize their spine. It also will correct what is called an anterior pelvic tilt, because a lot of us sit for a living and we get notoriously tight in our hip flexors.”
- Lay on your back with your knees bent over your hips and feet off the ground. Hold your arms straight up, pointing towards the ceiling.
- Draw your belly button in so your lower back touches the floor.
- Hold this posture in your back while simultaneously straightening and lowering your right leg towards the ground and lowering your left arm straight behind your head.
- Alternate with the left leg straight towards the ground and the right arm straight behind you.
- Do that for eight reps on each side for a total of three sets.
Side-lying thoracic spine rotation
Side-lying thoracic spine rotation is an exercise that strengthens the middle back, which in turn can address lower back pain. The exercise strengthens the area of the back called the thoracic spine. NeSmith explains, “It’s the only area of our spine that needs a lot of mobility. Your lower back does not need much mobility at all. So when someone gets tight in their middle back, the body then seeks mobility from the lower back.” This can cause lower back pain.
- Lie on your left side with your head on a yoga block or pillow to keep your neck aligned with your spine. Bend your knees so that the tops of your thighs are at a 90-degree angle to your torso.
- Straighten your arms in front of you, then take your right arm and move it over your body, above your head and behind your back, reaching it as far toward your back pocket as you can, keeping your arm straight the whole time. Reverse the exercise to bring your arm back round to the front.
- Now switch to lying on your right side and repeat the exercise.
Exercise for knee pain
Pigeon pose
According to NeSmith, “The good old-fashioned pigeon pose would be a great stretch to help someone restore flexibility.” This is a yoga pose, but you don’t need any yoga experience to pull it off.
- Kneel on a yoga mat and extend one leg behind you. Press the top of the foot into the mat, with the sole of the foot facing the ceiling.
- Bring your other leg in front of you with your knee bent inward and in line with your hip. Place your palms or fingertips on the mat on each side of you for support.
- Lean your body forward so your torso is over your front leg and your arms come to rest on the mat. Relax in this position for as long as you like.
- Sit up before repeating the exercise with your legs in opposite positions, so what was your front leg is now your back leg and what was your back leg is now your front leg.
Other ways to reduce pain caused by aging
In addition to exercises, NeSmith suggests using a massage gun on low intensity on muscles that are tight or stiff, particularly the quadratus lumborum muscles in the back and the levator scapula muscles on the tops of your shoulders and sides of your neck.
He also says using a foam roller on the quadriceps at the front of your thigh can open up the hip flexors and reduce lower back pain.

How soon will you be able to edit your tweets? Twitter says they're working on it
Well, that was fast.
Twitter announced Tuesday, via Twitter, that it is indeed working on an edit feature for tweets.
Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO and power Twitter user who is now Twitter’s largest shareholder and newly appointed board member, on Monday evening launched a Twitter poll asking users if they wanted an edit button, cheekily misspelling “yes” as “yse” and “no” as “on.” More than 4 million people had voted as of Tuesday evening.
Musk also tweeted that he is looking forward to making “significant improvements to Twitter in coming months!”
Many Twitter users — among them, Kim Kardashian, Ice T, Katy Perry and McDonald’s corporate account — have long begged for an edit button. The company itself recently teased users with an April Fool’s Day tweet saying “we are working on an edit button.” Its Twitter account said Tuesday that the April 1 tweet wasn't a joke and it has been working on it since last year — and that it didn't get the idea from Musk's poll.
Video above: Twitter tests new feature allowing users to flag misinformation
Twitter said it will test the feature in its paid service, Twitter Blue, in the coming months. It said the test would help it “learn what works, what doesn’t, and what’s possible.”
So it may be a while before most Twitter users get to use it, if they do. Twitter spokesperson Catherine Hill declined to answer if it was a feature that would be rolled out for all users.
Twitter’s vice president of consumer product, Jay Sullivan, tweeted Tuesday that an edit feature has for years been the most requested, since people want to fix mistakes, typos, and “hot takes.”
Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey had said that Twitter had considered an edit button, but in a January 2020 Q&A maintained that “we’ll probably never do it.” He cited wanting to keep the spirit of Twitter's text-message origins — texts can't be edited — and the confusion that could result from users making changes to a tweet that has already been highly circulated by others. Dorsey stepped down as CEO in November 2021.
People who study Twitter also say adding an edit button would change the nature of Twitter, making it less valuable as a historical warehouse that stores official statements by politicians and other high-profile people. Twitter, for better or worse, “has become the de facto news wire,” said Jennifer Grygiel, a Syracuse University communications professor and an expert on social media who researches propaganda.
Tweets are often embedded in news stories, which could cause problems if the users edit important or controversial tweets without leaving evidence of the original statement. Grygiel suggested instead giving Twitter users a window of time to edit their tweets before they publish them.
Letting powerful Twitter users edit their tweets means they would not be historical statements anymore, Grygiel said. “We need to think about what the implications are, what these tweets are, who has power.”
The company acknowledged those concerns Tuesday evening. Sullivan, tweeted, “Without things like time limits, controls, and transparency about what has been edited, Edit could be misused to alter the record of the public conversation. Protecting the integrity of that public conversation is our top priority when we approach this work.”
Musk, too, had said that a proposal for a post-publication edit window of a few minutes “ sounds reasonable.”
Musk is someone who could seemingly use an edit button. His tweet about taking Tesla private at $420 per share, when funding was not secured, led to a $40 million SEC settlement and a requirement that Musk's tweets be approved by a corporate lawyer. Musk is still embroiled in a fight over that settlement.
Twitter had earlier seemed to be taking a tongue-in-cheek approach to Musk’s poll. Twitter’s CEO, Parag Agrawal, retweeted the poll with a seeming reference to an earlier tweet by Musk, saying “The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully.” Musk had used the same language in a March tweet describing another one of his polls that asked whether Twitter adheres to free speech principles.

A man has appeared in court accused of murdering Aberdeen grandmother Sherry Bruce and attempting to murder her son.
Thai Hoang, known as Beaton, appeared in private at Aberdeen Sheriff Court where he made no plea to charges of murder and attempted murder.
The 24-year-old was committed for further examination and remanded in custody. He is due to appear again over the matter in the next eight days.
Sherry, 58, was found seriously injured at Glenbervie Road at about 5.30pm on Sunday evening.
It’s understood she was pronounced dead at the scene after being stabbed multiple times.
A 26-year-old man was also found injured by emergency services. He was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where he remains in a stable condition.
They are believed to be mother and son.
The statement said: “She was a kind and caring mum with a soft heart who adored everyone she met. She was very family-oriented and devoted to her job.
“She was loyal and a wonderful grandmother and will be sorely missed.”
Detective Inspector Gary Winter, of the police’s major investigation team, said: “This would appear to have been an isolated incident and there was no wider threat to the local community.”

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt made his case against the McGirt decision last week on Fox News — which brought response from the state’s tribal leaders.
Stitt said in a less than 2-minute interview on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that there were two sets of laws in Oklahoma depending on if a person was Native American following the July 2020 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in McGirt v. Oklahoma that changed criminal jurisdiction.
The governor brought up the case of 28-year-old Daniel Vivier, an Ada man who was charged as a youthful offender in 2011 along with two others in the 2011 beating and robbery of an 85-year-old man at his Pontotoc County home.
Vivier accepted a sentence modification in 2013 for seven felony counts and was sentenced to 40 years in prison with 10 years suspended.
In March 2021, Vivier’s state charges, conviction and sentences were vacated after the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals applied the McGirt ruling to the Chickasaw Nation.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma and the Chickasaw Nation both said that due to statutes of limitation, the federal government nor the Chickasaw Nation would be able to pick up the case against Vivier, who was released from state custody on April 6, 2021.
Following an August 2021 ruling by OCCA that said the McGirt ruling could not be used retroactively in cases where the defendant has exhausted all appeals and a final judgement issued, the state of Oklahoma filed a motion to have the relief vacated and for Vivier to serve out his remaining sentence.
A hearing on the matter was scheduled for December 2021 but did not occur due to Vivier not being located in order to serve proper notice of the hearing.
Stitt also said that death-row inmates were doing DNA tests to prove Native American ancestry in an attempt to have their state convictions overturned.
Court records show a death-row inmate convicted for two counts of murder in McClain County did submit an at-home DNA test showing “‘indigenous American lineage” during his trial, but the claim was rejected by a judge.
A spokesperson with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections told an Oklahoma City television station on Thursday that “Only court-ordered, professionally administered DNA tests are allowed inside ODOC facilities. The overwhelming majority of those are done to settle issues of paternity” and that at-home DNA tests were not allowed to be sent to inmates.
Stitt also said that police were “having a tough time” determining who was Native American or not in eastern Oklahoma. The governor’s office did not respond to request for comment.
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Chief Gary Batton said that Stitt was misrepresenting the truth when it came to the McGirt decision.
“Once again, Gov. Stitt has chosen to blatantly misrepresent the issues involved in the McGirt decision and its impact,” Batton said. “Rather than cooperating with tribes to ensure public safety, he spreads falsehoods, misinformation and racist ideas.”
Batton said his tribe has added more than 120 new public safety positions, including 38 new police officers since McGirt was decided with tribal prosecutors filing 622 felony cases in 2021.
“While some cases have moved from state to tribal or federal courts, the Choctaw Nation and other tribes are doing their duty and holding perpetrators accountable. Batton said.
The Cherokee Nation, who Stitt is an enrolled member, issued a statement on Twitter.
“#ThankfulThursday: As a tribe of 410,402 citizens, we’re thankful for the 410,401 Cherokee citizens who aren’t going on TV to undermine our rights and sovereignty.”
Batton said tribal nations will continue to ensure the safety of communities in Oklahoma and will work with all agencies towards that goal.
“We have dozens of agreements in place that allow law enforcement officers to continue to do their jobs, and we are disappointed the governor continues to lie and denigrate that work.”

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A Virginia man convicted of murdering his 18-year-old stepdaughter and hiding her body behind an abandoned house in 2015 has been sentenced to life in prison plus 15 years.
Wesley Hadsell was convicted earlier this year of killing 18-year-old Anjelica “A.J.” Hadsell. He was sentenced Monday by a judge to the maximum allowed for each charge he was convicted of, including first-degree murder, concealing a body and possessing drugs in jail, The Virginian-Pilot reported.
Hadsell asserted his innocence, suggesting his stepdaughter had killed herself, drawing a sharp rebuke from Circuit Judge L. Wayne Farmer at sentencing.
“I have been wrongfully convicted of these crimes, but this fight is not over,” Hadsell told Farmer, saying he would appeal.
Farmer scolded Hadsell for trying to pin the crime on others, then implying the woman took her own life.
“To blame her — it’s offensive,” the judge said. “You took a beautiful life and dumped it like trash.”
Prosecutors said the defendant had kidnapped the stepdaughter, assaulted her and then injected her with a lethal dose of heroin. She was spending her spring break from Longwood University at her family’s home in Norfolk when she disappeared in March 2015.
Her body was found five weeks later partially buried in a drainage ditch behind an abandoned house. A medical examiner determined she had died from acute heroin poisoning and “homicidal violence.”
Hadsell wasn’t charged for the murder until 2018. His first trial in 2020 was declared a mistrial after two days over a disagreement on what evidence the jury should be allowed to hear.
Prosecutors said that shortly before A.J. Hadsell disappeared, Wesley Hadsell's wife kicked him out of the house because of his drug use. Investigators said Wesley Hadsell kidnapped his stepdaughter while she was folding laundry and listening to music in the living room.
Hadsell then tried to distract police by lying and planting evidence in various places, including one of her jackets at her friend's home, prosecutors said. Hadsell admitted to breaking into the home during an interview with a local TV station, but denied hiding the jacket there.

A 27-year-old man who was seriously wounded in a shooting in Sacramento over the weekend that left six people dead was arrested on Tuesday for illegal possession of a firearm and possession of a machine gun.
Police in California’s capital city took Smiley Martin into custody at a local hospital, the Sacramento Police Department said in a statement. Authorities will book the suspect after doctors determine that he is fit for incarceration.
Martin is the brother of Dandre Martin, 26, who was taken into custody on Sunday as a “related suspect” in the case, police said. Dandre Martin was booked on suspicion of assault and illegal possession of a firearm.
Police did not elaborate on the men’s alleged roles in the shooting and it was not clear if additional suspects remained at large. Police Chief Kathy Lester has said that “multiple” shooters were involved in the massacre that killed six people and injured 12 others.
A third man, 31-year-old Daviyonne Dawson, was taken into custody on Monday on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, police said, but he was not accused of being involved in the mass shooting.
The gunfire erupted at about 2 a.m. local time (0900 GMT) on Sunday near the Golden 1 Center, home of the National Basketball Association’s Sacramento Kings.
Police believe the shooting followed an altercation at a nearby nightclub and asked for the public’s help in obtaining videos of that incident that had been posted on social media.
Investigators said they found more than 100 spent shell casings at the scene and a stolen handgun that was found to have been converted to a weapon capable of automatic gunfire.
Of the 12 victims who survived, police said they were “suffering from gunshot wounds ranging from minor to critical but stable.”
The violence took place in an area recently revitalized as an entertainment center and just hours after rapper Tyler the Creator had performed at the Golden 1 Center on Saturday night.

Srinagar, Apr 5: Former union minister Prof Saifuddin Soz on Tuesday said the Delimitation Commission has already courted controversy by not inviting political parties properly.
In a statement he said that instead the Commission has invited individuals as per a list, the author of which is yet to be known.
“The Jammu and Kashmir Delimitation Commission has already courted controversy by not inviting representatives of political parties to appear before it. Instead, it has invited individuals as per a list, the author of which is yet to be known,” Soz said.
He added that it is not yet known as to why it (the Commission) has not invited political parties, who could highlight public demands in a responsible manner.
“The Commission has not taken adequate notice of the fact that it has a very serious business of public interest on hand and it should deal with the subject, rather seriously, "he said.

Liam Manning calls for discipline as MK Dons keep up promotion push
Liam Manning refused to get carried away after his resurgent MK Dons soared into League One’s top two for the first time this season.
Dons battled past rock-bottom Crewe as Republic of Ireland aces Troy Parrott and Conor Coventry grabbed the goals at Stadium MK.
Bassala Sambou pulled one back for the struggling visitors in injury time but the Dons held on to leapfrog Rotherham – who have two games in hand after Sunday’s Papa John’s Trophy triumph over Sutton – into the automatic promotion places.
Boss Manning, 36, said: “We’ll keep chipping away and controlling what we can.
“That’s about turning up with the right focus, with the right discipline, the right intensity and churning out performances because that’s what gets you wins to keep us in the position that we want to be in.
“We’ve said it so many times this season that every week you’re facing a really difficult opposition – irrespective of where they are in the league, they’re tough to play against.
“It was the same when we went up there earlier in the season and first half how they set up, the block and the man-to-man press is tough to get into space behind them.
“But we showed some good moments to get there and then other moments a bit sloppy at times.
“The ball from skip (Dean Lewington)’s magnificent, and there was good movement and composure for the finish.
“Same as the second goal – it’s a moment of real quality that ultimately deserves to win us the game.”
Spurs loanee Parrott was the beneficiary of a sublime pass from captain Lewington, which he controlled and lifted over Alex goalkeeper Dave Richards.
Top scorer Scott Twine tested the crossbar with a free-kick just past the half-hour mark before West Ham loanee Coventry made it 2-0 when he slammed home his first Dons goal.
The defeat marked a 14th loss in 15 matches for the visitors, who did nick a goal through Sambou late on but remain 13 points adrift of safety at the bottom of the League One table.
Manager David Artell said: “MK Dons are the best footballing team in the division and for the large parts of the second half we more than matched them.
“We made a far better fist of it second half, I thought we were far too bold in our aggressive actions in terms of trying to get the ball back and they kept getting in behind us.
“In the second half that happened far less and we were actually getting more opportunities, certainly had more action in and around their penalty area which culminated in a deserved goal – but by that point it’s too little, too late.
”We’ve just had a good chat in there with the players and for the first time in a while there was something back from the players and that was good, healthy and will stand us in good stead going forward.”

Bulls guard Lonzo Ball is expected to be shut down for the remainder of the season, sources confirmed to The Athletic. Ball has been rehabbing from meniscus surgery in late January, but continues to feel discomfort amid several recovery methods to return to action and a bone bruise in his knee.
Ball, 24, underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a small meniscus tear in his left knee in January. He was expected to return after 6-8 weeks. Ball received arthroscopic surgery on that same knee in 2018.
Ball joined the Bulls on a four-year, $85 million contract in August after a sign-and-trade that sent Tomáš Satoranský, Garrett Temple and a second-round pick to the New Orleans Pelicans. He averaged 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists for the season.
Chicago is fifth in the Eastern Conference standing with a 45-33 record.
