A federal grand jury charged 10 Arkansas residents with stealing millions of dollars from California's Employment Development Department debit cards, issued by Bank of America.
The indictment says a Bank of America contractor was on the inside, helping cohorts cash in phony EDD debit cards -- and make off with $2.7 million dollars.
This incident shows the long arm of the EDD fraud -- this time, authorities say, all the way from Arkansas.
RELATED: Disabled Californians plead for EDD to unlock their benefits after 340,000 accounts frozen
Previously Bank of America detected fraud and froze thousands of EDD debit cards to try to stop it. In the process, many legitimate workers were locked out of their unemployment benefits.
Diane Davis and Michael Conant watched as hackers drained their EDD debit cards.
"You guys took $16,000 from the account. Where did it go?" Conant asked.
"$7,000 was taken out of my account. It hurts," Davis said.
Bank of America denied their claims and froze their accounts, along with thousands of others.
RELATED: Unemployed workers who did not receive big 2020 tax break may soon get it
"We believe the overwhelming majority of frozen accounts represent frauds that were stopped, representing hundreds of millions or billions in criminal activity," said Bank of America executive Faiz Ahmad during an explanation to state lawmakers last year when questioned on why the bank froze all of those accounts.
A federal judge later ordered Bank of America to reopen those cases and restore legitimate claims.
Now, the latest attempt to unravel California's fraud fiasco has landed in the lap of a federal grand jury -- in Arkansas.
"What we will find out as the case unfolds is just what went on, how it happened and why..." said Assemblyman Jim Patterson (R - Fresno).
The grand jury in Little Rock has indicted 10 Arkansas residents on charges of cashing in California EDD debit cards.
The indictment names former Bank of America contractor Madison Clark of Little Rock, a customer service agent serving EDD card holders.
RELATED: CA EDD cuts benefits to new moms as it investigates massive disability fraud
It says Clark used her position and "accessed the Bank of America systems without authorization to re-issue debit cards, remove fraud blocks and add credits to unemployment accounts."
The U.S. Attorney's office said the other defendants then used the debit cards to withdraw $2.7 million dollars.
One defendant was out on bond facing a felony murder charge when authorities say he joined the conspiracy.
The U.S. Attorney's office said Bank of America discovered the breach last year and fired the contract worker.
RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: BofA says it wants out of unemployment benefits contract as EDD renews
"I've been concerned about that from the beginning," Assm. Patterson said.
Assm. Patterson has pushed for investigation of potential insider fraud at many state agencies, including the EDD.
"That's gonna be a big important lesson. I hope the EDD and Bank of America learn, so they're not vulnerable going forward," Assm. Patterson said.
The $2.7 million loss is a tiny fraction of California's unemployment fraud. The EDD estimates it gave $19 billion to fraudsters in phony unemployment claims. Bank of America says it lost at least $200 million to debit card fraud -- and says it wants out of the EDD business.
RELATED: Judge says Bank of America may have illegally denied EDD fraud claims
A class action lawsuit on behalf of thousands of EDD debit card holders is still ongoing in Southern California. A federal judge last year ordered Bank of America to reopen claims for reimbursement for unauthorized transactions. The bank had automatically closed thousands of them as it tried to stop fraud.

Tyler Brooks pitched the first three innings before getting into trouble, but came back to pitch the sixth inning and 1/3 of the 7th. Brandon Bakerian went 2 for 3 with a triple and four runs scored.
Also Tuesday, Hadley-Luzerne's Ryan Lott-Diamond pitched all five innings, striking out 7 and giving up three singles, and had a double at the plate as the Eagles defeated Argyle 14-2.
Ticonderoga's last-inning rally came up short, as the Sentinels left the tying run on third base in a 5-4 CVAC loss to Saranac Lake.

Rio Tinto, BHP join consortium to decarbonise iron ore shipping
Mining giants Rio Tinto and BHP will investigate establishing a green corridor for shipping iron ore from Australia to East Asia, using ships powered by ammonia.
The rival Pilbara giants have joined a consortium led by the Global Maritime Forum and including Oldendorff Carriers and Star Bulk Carriers in a bid to mobilise demand for zero or near-zero greenhouse gas emission shipping.
Green Corridors are specific shipping routes where the economics, infrastructure and logistics of zero- or near-zero emission shipping are more feasible, and rapid deployment can be supported by targeted policy and industry action.
Governments and industry decision-makers are increasingly looking to enable and simplify the task of decarbonising the maritime sector by establishing Green Corridors.
Global Maritime Forum chief executive Johannah Christensen said zero-greenhouse gas emission pathways required the creation of a parallel value chain that involved new ways of working, new contractual relationships, and drives the development of decarbonised fuel production and infrastructure.
“This new iron ore green corridor collaboration is an important step towards enabling zero- or near-zero greenhouse gas emission shipping from both the supply and demand side,” she said.
Last year, the Getting to Zero Coalition report The Next Wave demonstrated how Green Corridors could be conceived, prioritised and designed with a pre-feasibility study for an iron ore route between Australia and East Asia.
The study suggested green ammonia was the likely fuel choice for corridors based on favourable production conditions, an enabling regulatory environment and willing stakeholders.
Parties in the consortium plan to jointly assess green ammonia supply, bunkering and first mover support mechanisms, necessary for their participation in a viable Australia to East Asia iron ore Green Corridor.
Through the work in the consortium and with inputs from the wider supply chain, the partners aim to develop a framework as a preparatory step towards real-world implementation of a green iron ore shipping value chain.
BHP’s vice-president of maritime and supply chain excellence, Rashpal Bhatti, said the company’s membership of the Green Corridor consortium was testament to the importance it placed on targeted exploration and partnerships in identifying pathways to decarbonisation for the maritime sector.
“As one of the largest bulk charterers in the world, we recognise this opportunity and have announced a number of partnerships across our value chain to seek to accelerate the process,” he said.
Rio Tinto’s head of commercial operations, Laure Baratgin, said the company recognised it had an important role to play in the decarbonisation of its own shipping and the broader industry.
“This collaboration is another important step towards accelerating the delivery of our climate commitments on shipping, as part of Rio Tinto’s broader goal of net zero emissions by 2050 and a 50 per cent reduction by 2030, and supports efforts in providing our customers and partners with sustainable value-chain solutions,” she said.
The new consortium will facilitate a robust public-private dialogue to investigate conditions that need to be in place to mobilise demand and to feasibly scale zero or near-zero-GHG emission shipping on the corridor.

MONROE COUNTY, Miss. (WTVA) - There are 39 tornado sirens in Monroe County, but the one in the Darracott community needs to be fixed.
Tanya Williems of Monroe County Emergency Operations said it will be expensive to fix.
They have ordered the parts for the siren and when they arrive, it will be fixed.
"It's pretty rural at the Darracott community and it's the one at the fire department that's out.
She said the County Emergency Management Office does a silent test on the sirens every week to make sure they are working properly.
"They did go off last week and it is very important so that way they have a warning and they have enough time to get to a shelter," said Willems.

Our Shore For Ukraine Fundraiser To Be Held In Lavallette
LAVALLETTE – A fundraiser featuring food, music, raffles, a 50/50 drawing and much more will be held on April 23 with funds going directly to support Ukrainian refugees and those in Ukraine.
Lavallette resident Jack Sauer and his wife April formed the committee Our Shore For Ukraine which is working on a “zero cost/100% benefit” fundraising dinner to assist with this massive humanitarian challenge,” Jack Sauer said.
“We are working with St. Stephen Ukrainian Catholic Church in Toms River to deliver these funds via the church in Ukraine quickly and with no erosion of funds to corporate overhead.”
“Zero cost means that all food, materials and services are being donated by local businesses and organizations. So, every dollar will go to aid those who need it most. This is a grass roots, community driven effort and it is not just the Lavallette community that is involved but our broader community up and down the island as well as across the bay,” Sauer added.
Donations will be consolidated by the United States Ukrainian Catholic Archdiocese in Philadelphia and sent directly to Ukraine and neighboring countries to provide services and support the victims of the ongoing conflict caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The minimum requested donation for the event is $50. “Our thought was to set the minimum donation request low enough so that, hopefully, anyone in our community can afford to join us for this deeply meaningful evening, even given the current burden of inflation but our fervent hope is that, given the magnitude of this humanitarian crisis, those who can do more, will do the most that they can,” Sauer said.
Sauer noted, “as a point of reference, for the early ticket sales over these last few weeks, our community has been averaging a donation per ticket of over $120. We don’t expect that level of commitment from everyone but it is encouraging to see that initial response.”
Also, we have initiated a Special Donor Recognition Program for organizations and individuals who have the capacity and desire to do more. Checks should be made payable to St Stephen Ukrainian Catholic Church and sent to our attention at 405 Bay Blvd Lavallette, NJ 08735,” he added.
Donors should be sure to indicate the number of tickets requested or if they are making a direct donation and are unable to attend the event. “Tickets may be picked up at our home, 405 Bay Blvd, Lavallette, or can be held at “will call” at the event,” Sauer added.
Sauer said, “we lack the time or resources to establish a modern web site with electronic ordering capabilities. We’re happy to answer any questions at 973-650 4554. Donations are tax deductible and donors are urged to include an email address so that they can receive a receipt for tax purposes.”
“In addition to the horrors that we see on the news every day, we believe that many in our community are also moved by the fact that we have a significant Ukrainian immigrant population in our area and that in past summers, many young Ukrainians have been a vital part of our seasonal economy,” Sauer added.
”Noting a recent headline that reads “Ukraine Assault Uproots 10 Million”, Sauer explained, “uproots” means refugees. That’s about 25% of the entire Ukrainian population. That’s 800,000 more than the entire population of New Jersey and the numbers are growing every day.”

Siakam has 31 as Raptors beat Hawks to clinch playoff spot
Pascal Siakam had 31 points and 13 rebounds, Scottie Barnes added 19 points and 14 rebounds, and the Toronto Raptors clinched a playoff berth by beating the Atlanta Hawks 118-108 on Tuesday night.
Chris Boucher scored 18 points, Gary Trent Jr. had 14, Fred VanVleet 12 and Precious Achiuwa 11. Toronto has won 12 of 16. This victory, coupled with Cleveland’s loss at Orlando, ensured the Raptors (46-33) will finish no lower than sixth in the Eastern Conference.
“We did what we set out to do in the regular season,” VanVleet said. “Now it’s time to go see what we can do.”
Toronto rose to fifth in the East after Chicago lost to Milwaukee. The Bulls hold the tiebreaker over the Raptors.
Sixth place is the last guaranteed postseason spot, with teams finishing in the Nos. 7-10 spots headed for the play-in tournament.
Raptors coach Nick Nurse said he was proud of his players for exceeding expectations.
“They found a way to grind out enough wins to get them in this situation,” Nurse said. “I don’t think they were picked to be here, so that’s always a good accomplishment.”
Trae Young had 26 points and 15 assists for the Hawks, who lost for the first time in six games and locked themselves into a play-in berth. Atlanta (41-38) and Brooklyn are 1 1/2 games behind seventh-place Cleveland.
“Obviously we wish we were higher in the standings but we’re not,” Young said. “We are where we are. We’ve got to take care of business with what’s ahead of us.”
The Hawks host Washington on Wednesday before finishing the season with games at Miami and Houston. Atlanta is one game ahead of Charlotte in 10th.
Kevin Huerter scored 21 points, De’Andre Hunter had 20 and Bogdan Bogdanovic finished with 19. Clint Capela had 10 points and 14 rebounds.
“Their size definitely hurt us,” Huerter said of the Raptors, who outscored Atlanta 62-42 in the paint.
Toronto led 102-92 after Barnes made a 3-pointer with 7:38 left in the fourth quarter, but Atlanta answered with a 10-0 run, tying it at 102-all on Young’s basket with 4:29 remaining.
Young gave the Hawks their first lead of the fourth quarter by making one of two from the line with 2:53 to play, but Achiuwa made one to tie it and Barnes ended Toronto’s drought of 5 minutes, 45 seconds by converting a putback layup with 1:53 to go.
After Bogdanovic missed a 3, VanVleet connected from distance for Toronto, giving the Raptors a 108-103 lead with just over a minute left.
“It comes down to making shots and getting stops, and we didn’t do that after being able to tie that game 102-102,” Hawks coach Nate McMillan said. “You’ve got to close, you’ve got to finish that game.”
FINDING THEIR RANGE
The Raptors started 0 for 12 from 3-point range but finished 9 for 35. Thad Young made Toronto’s first 3 with 1:12 left in the first half.
ROCKY ROAD
Atlanta is 15-24 on the road. The Hawks have fewer road wins than any postseason contender in either conference except for the West’s 11th place Lakers, who were 11-27 on the road going into Tuesday’s game at Phoenix.
“It’s tough to win on the road in the NBA,” Huerter said.
TAKE A BREAK
With a playoff berth clinched, Nurse said he’ll give VanVleet and other regulars some rest in the final three games of the season. VanVleet has been playing with a sore right knee.
“We’re going to get him off his feet here for a couple days,” Nurse said.
TIP-INS
Hawks: F Danilo Gallinari sat because of a sore left knee. … Bogdanovic had nine rebounds.
Raptors: Nurse said F OG Anunoby’s sore left thigh is “much improved” but held the injured forward out for a second straight game. … VanVleet had nine assists and Siakam had six. … Young matched his season-high with five offensive rebounds.
UP NEXT
Hawks: Host Washington on Wednesday night
Raptors: Host Philadelphia on Thursday night.

SPOKANE, Wash. — A group called "Spokane Helps Ukraine" is living up to its name.
Created by local Ukrainians, the group raises money in order to feed family and friends still in their home country.
The group is in direct contact with people in Ukraine and some families that are escaping the country and heading to Spokane.
Sergei Stefalo, one of the group's organizers, says that he is amazed that people he didn't even know were offering help to the group's cause.
"A couple months ago, I didn't really even know their name," Stefalo said. "They're just coming through and offering help a lot."
Fellow organizer Greg Naker says that the origin of "Spokane Helps Ukraine" came from observing the Red Cross's support of the war-torn country and the substantial Ukrainian presence within Spokane.
"Sergei came from Kharkiv in 1997," Naker said. "And these people that we are sending the money directly to are friends of his."
Organizer Darin Klundt says the group's efforts began with a website. Soon after, a concept for the group was realized.
"And in a very quick, quick time, you got all this stuff together," Klundt said.
"Spokane Helps Ukraine" shirts are available at Cedar Coffee, Roller Valley Skate Center and two Kiev Market locations at East Sprague and North Nevada.
While Stefalo is happy that the group is garnering support, he is quick to remind himself and others that the charity's efforts are about more than shirts.
"It's not about t-shirts," Stefalo said. "It's about helping people out there. So, it's just such a touching moment to see that this is a community kind of coming together at the worst times. This show's what our community is all about. Just helping each other."
According to their website, the group has already raised nearly $50,000.

Arkansas Man, Leanthony Ray Moses Sentenced to Federal Prison for Nacogdoches Drug Trafficking
BEAUMONT, TX (STL.News) A Little Rock, AR man has been sentenced to federal prison for drug trafficking violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney Brit Featherston today.
Leanthony Ray Moses, 45, pleaded guilty on July 28, 2021, to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and was sentenced to 135 months in federal prison today by U.S. District Judge Michael Truncale.
According to information presented in court, on Sep. 17, 2019, Moses was stopped by local law enforcement in Nacogdoches for a traffic violation. The officer’s canine partner alerted to the presence of drugs in the vehicle during the traffic stop. A search of the vehicle revealed 2,926 grams of methamphetamine. Moses was indicted by a federal grand jury on Nov. 20, 2019, and charged with federal drug trafficking violations.
This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the Nacogdoches Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Donald S. Carter.

Rock Island's Taylor Pannell (3) is met by her teammates at home plate after hitting a two-run home run during the sixth inning Tuesday in Geneseo. The Rocks won 12-0.

Geneseo's Katelyn Emerick (22) pitches during the fourth inning Tuesday in Geneseo.
GENESEO — When the fifth inning started Tuesday, Rock Island High School softball was in a scoreless game against Geneseo on the road.
After seven, Rocky had a double-digit lead.
The Rocks’ offense exploded for 12 runs in the final three innings in a convincing 12-0 victory over the Maple Leafs. Taylor Pannell went 3-for-4 with a home run and 4 RBIs.
But the game was won in the circle. Senior Campbell Kelley pitched a dominant complete game three-hit shutout for Rock Island (4-1, 1-0).
“I was going in on them,” Campbell said. “It was nice to have that pitch working for me because I don’t throw the slowest. It was an advantage. It’s nice when I can go in and not allow them turn on it.”
Geneseo (3-4, 1-1) failed to get a runner on third base and Campbell set down 11 straight hitters at one point. She finished with five strikeouts in cold and windy conditions.
“She really competes, and with this weather to throw the ball how she did, she had a very nice game,” Rock Island coach Chris Allison said. “She shut out a team that can swing it. She let her defense play well behind her. Things worked out today.”
The Rocky defense was also impressive against Geneseo. Campbell rolled two double plays and made two good throws on comebackers, and center fielder Bella Allison made a pair of nice catches.
“We work on our defense a lot,” Chris Allison said. “It’s something we want to make sure we do well. We don’t want to give extra outs. We know good teams will score runs on those. I thought we did a good job today.”
But at the plate, Rock Island was kept in check for the first four innings.
Geneseo senior pitcher Katelyn Emerick hit her spots and had four strikeouts after her first time through the lineup. The Maple Leafs committed consecutive errors to begin the top of the fourth inning to allow runners on first and second, but Emerick got out of the jam.
“I thought we were anxious at the beginning,” Pannel said. “Once we started seeing more pitches we teed off.”
The change happened in the fifth. Alexis Carroll and Bailey Proffitt reached base to begin the inning and after Geneseo decided to intentionally walk Pannell to load the bases with one out, Bella Allison took advantage.
Rocky’s center fielder hit a slow roller into shallow right to give the Rocks a 1-0 lead. Gabriella Taber followed with a bases-clearing triple down the right field line that got past the fielder to make it 4-0. Kelley helped herself with an infield single to cap off the five-run inning.
“They started hitting it where it was pitched,” Chris Allison said. “We have a lot of kids who are back who had good years last year. They stick with it. They know the next person behind them has their back. That’s the nice thing about this group. Someone is going to pick them up this time if they didn’t that time.”
That frenzy hitting was evident and echoed by members of the team.
“Once someone goes, we all go,” Pannell said. “Our hitting is contagious. Once we go as a team, we really go.”
Pannell padded the lead in the sixth with a two-run shot over the left field wall. It was a no-doubter that landed in the parking lot.
“I felt like I was seeing my pitches (today),” Pannell said. “The one at bat I got out on I was mad at myself because I swung at a pitch that wasn’t mine. I tried to stay focus and wait for my pitch after that.”
Rock Island poured it on with five more runs in the seventh. Taber and Delia Schwartz began the inning with doubles and a Sydney Quinones single made it 9-0. Pannell’s second double of the game, this one in the left field gap, scored two more to make it 11-0.
Campbell let the first two runners reached in the seventh, but a double play ended the threat.
“That was definitely my best start so far,” Kelley said. “I felt like I came out ready to go. I wanted to put them down.”
Taber finished 2-for-4 with 3 RBIs. Carroll went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk. Proffitt finished 2-for-4 with an RBI.

Geneseo's Jaelyn Lambin, Sidney Spindel and Annabelle Veloz recorded the Maple Leafs' three hits.
Senior pitchers Katelyn Emerick and Morgan Snell combined to no-hit Galesburg, with their teammates providing ample support as Geneseo softball rolled to an 11-0, five-inning victory to open Big 6 play.
Taking on Orion in both teams' Three Rivers West Division opener, Rockridge picked up where it left off on opening day as it rolled to a 15-0, four-inning victory on a chilly Monday afternoon.
After a successful 22-6 campaign in 2021 that resulted in a regional title, Rock Island returns in 2022 with a large majority of the varsity roster from a year ago — looking to win its fifth straight WB6 title.

North American Industry Leader to Open 23,000 Square Foot Office in October
ATLANTA, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Southwire, one of North America's leading wire and cable producers and an emerging influence in the electrical industry, will soon open office space at The Battery Atlanta in Cobb County adjacent to Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. In late March, Southwire signed a deal for roughly 23,000 square feet of offices, meeting rooms, workstations and multipurpose space.
"We have embraced adaptability through the pandemic, and we have proven that we are able to successfully meet the expectations of our stakeholders in a hybrid work environment," said Rich Stinson, Southwire's president and CEO. "Having a presence at The Battery Atlanta offers additional flexibility to our team members and further demonstrates that Southwire is an employer of choice."
Headquartered in Carrollton, Ga., Southwire has had a presence in metro Atlanta for several years with a Southwire Commuter Hub in Cobb County and The Spark innovation center on Georgia Tech's campus, among other locations. Recently, the building in which the company's Commuter Hub is located was sold, and leaders sought other options to meet the needs of its workforce. Having a presence in metro Atlanta gives the company a competitive edge for recruitment and retention.
"As we have emerged from the pandemic and as we considered next steps with our Commuter Hub, the timing was right to move toward a larger presence in this area," said Fernando Esquivel, executive vice president of People and Culture. "Our office at The Battery Atlanta will provide us with increased visibility and opportunities to attract professional talent while allowing us to further connect, communicate, collaborate and celebrate with each other."
While expanding its presence in metro Atlanta gives the company a competitive edge for talent recruitment and retention, Southwire remains committed to each of its existing communities, and the company continues to drive the electrical industry forward.
"We have a long history of serving our customers with excellence and giving back to the local communities in which we work and live," said Norman Adkins, Southwire's president of Wire & Cable and COO. "Our presence in Atlanta has been — and will continue to be — no different. As we consider more than just the office space, we are also excited to forge a partnership with the Atlanta Braves that will add value to our employees, our customers and our communities."
Throughout its more than seven decades in business, Southwire has upheld a strong commitment to service, quality and innovation. The new office space and partnership with the Atlanta Braves serve as a culmination of these three objectives.
"Southwire celebrates 72 years as a company in 2022, and one of our late founder's frequently-shared phrases was about putting technology to work," said Brandon Moss, president of Tools, Components and Assembled Solutions. "This new office space will do just that — giving existing and new employees more opportunities to connect in the metro Atlanta area while at the same time supporting many of the tenets that define our commitment to growth and sustainability."
As the company finalizes plans for its office at The Battery Atlanta, Southwire has announced an agreement with the Atlanta Braves in which Southwire will now be a proud electrical products manufacturing partner of the Atlanta Braves. The partnership will also focus on strengthening both organizations' efforts to give back to the community, as Southwire connects with the Braves' established community and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts through sponsorship and volunteerism through at least two events this year.
"We are thrilled that Southwire will be joining the premier office-line up at The Battery Atlanta. Employees here have an incomparable array of amenities just outside their doors, and the World Series Champion Atlanta Braves as a neighbor," said Jeremy Strife, executive vice president of Braves Development Company. "We look forward to our larger partnership, including events and charitable programs that showcase how our core values align."

FRANKFURT, Germany, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sovereign borrowing will reach $10.4 trillion in 2022, nearly one-third above the average before the COVID-19 pandemic, says S&P Global Ratings today in its latest global borrowing report published today on RatingsDirect: ("Sovereign Debt 2022: Borrowing Will Stay High On Pandemic And Geopolitical Tensions").
For an interactive version of our global and regional borrowing forecasts see; "Global Sovereign Borrowing Outlook 2022".
"We expect borrowing to stay elevated, owing to high debt-rollover needs, as well as fiscal policy normalization challenges posed by the pandemic, high inflation, and polarized social and political landscapes," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Karen Vartapetov.
The global macroeconomic repercussions of the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine will put further upward pressure on government funding needs this year.
Tightening monetary conditions will push up government funding costs. This will pose additional difficulties to sovereigns that have been unable to restart growth, reduce reliance on foreign currency financing, and where interest bills are already critically high.
For advanced economies, borrowing costs this year, while on the rise, will likely remain below the effective interest rate on the existing debt stock, giving time to consolidate budgets and focus on pro-growth reforms.
Other key findings from our projections of 2022 borrowing from commercial sources by the 137 sovereigns we rate:
- The commercial sovereign debt stock will reach a record of $66.5 trillion by year-end, with the U.S. and Japan accounting for over one-half of it.
- The G-7 group of nations will continue to contribute 70% of the total commercial debt stock of all rated sovereigns.
- Investment-grade (rated 'BBB-' and above) sovereign borrowing will account for the majority of total issuance.

The skies opened up yet again on March 27. The city hopes to see the Scoots and the Qatars, the Turkmenistans and the Air Indias cloud the skies once again, bringing in pilgrims, tourists and NRI visitors, flying out leisure travellers and kids studying abroad. The era of restricted aero connectivity seems to have ended. No one is happier than the Ambarsari who has this unimaginable travel bug. Also joyous will be the beeline of young Turks dying to land on foreign shores one way or the other. The biggest surge in fact shall be of non-resident Punjabis and their friends, yearning for a darshan ishnaan at the Harmandir, the Golden Temple. So, acchey dinn indeed for the inbound and the outbound of our city.
This bug is indeed old, but the confidence to sail and the ability to disconnect are new. Prof. Mohan Singh, who enjoys Amritsar Calling immensely, related an interesting incident to me the other day. Just after the commonwealth of nations was formed in the 1960s, he sent a postcard (seriously, the old yellow standard) to the British High Commission asking for employment in Great Britain. The response was positive and a passport, as well as a visa with a guarantee of employment, took not so long. By 1962 after having shipped out basic belongings by steamer – rajai talai as he calls it- he informed his elders and his fairly new wife of his intent. Despite the familial resistance he boarded a train for the ultimate departure from Delhi. By the time he reached the capital his resolve dissolved, and he came right back to a future with his family on traditional terra firma, city Amritsar.
This reminded me of my father who, when informed of my job offer in New York, flew into erstwhile Bombay, where I was interning at Raymond’s in 1981. The overnight flyover was to convince me, the only son, to return and make a future with the family back home. And yet today parents would rather that their progeny explored their destiny elsewhere. The land of their birth in turn does not bind the new generation either. It is home of course, but they have no qualms of being somewhere else, even far away.
The Ukraine dilemma
The Ukraine crisis showcased dozens of kids from here studying medicine there. The rescue from the war zone has happened but their future is still in a quandary. How will they get to go back? Will they be able to continue their study here? Is their partial education even recognised? Was the qualification they had sought from there even acceptable in India? The vagaries of foreign shores, uncertainties, even racial attacks, have confounded the parents and the kids. Who would have thought of going to the breakaway nations of the USSR in yesteryears? And yet the lure of foreign shores, of differential costs, and most of all the possibility of making a living eventually on European soil is endearing for most. This is just one example. The millennials from town and the villages have literally formed a never-ending queue. Hundreds of IELTS centres and scores of authentic and some fly-by-night travel agents bear testimony to the desperation to look for a future elsewhere.
The whole generation next wants to run away. Is an exodus on the anvil? Not really. It has already happened. Everyone who is anyone and is an adolescent would rather be elsewhere rather than in this nation, for sure not in town. Imagine the contradiction though. Here they are corseted, served, underexposed, even spoiled, but they would rather be on a foreign shore, even if they are menials at work and at home. They cook, they serve, they clean the toilets, they sweep, they walk, they commute, they get abused racially. So, what is this propensity to be disgraced, to be subservient, to be underrated, to be exposed, to be berated and undervalued as a second-rate citizen? I have always wondered why the grass is greener on the other shore. What inspires these youngsters to strive to fly away. What is wrong with our upbringing, our national pride, our societal and familial bonds, our milieu, that our young, our progeny, our future would rather be a part of an exodus. As we approach 75 years of our independence, we must introspect why our kids aspire to go, as also why every parent now is keener for them to go away rather than be their support in old age. Something is amiss. Something just is not right.
That this exodus has been fed by the inherent envy of all those who have managed to scrounge a life on alien soil, some abundantly successful, some making do and others still behind fast-food counters or just trucking. Yet all of them have been landing at the Raja Sansi Airport, now the Guru Ram Das International airport, with elaborate pomp and show. In our time as teens, we would witness the whole village boarding buses, carrying the marigold garlands, showcasing the new damsels of the pind to anyone settled overseas. “Valaiton aya hae Chindo da munda,” was all that was needed to announce the arrival of Tony from Toronto or a Gary who went as a Grewal to Italy. Even the NRI girls, kids of those who left a generation ago, visiting the village, reluctantly though, can take a pick from the newest homegrown crop of bachelors, gabroo punjab de. Runaway brides or jilted girls, ditched grooms, well that’s another story you can have a series on Netflix about.
But today the reasons run deeper, perhaps even disenchantment with the way things are, the lack of opportunity, or even the lure of better living standards. Sounds certainly better than the frustrating existence on land that does not earn enough, jobs that are not available, or the lack of employability from the bookish learning of our academic institutions. Thus, the common refrain heard in the corridors of the city, “Ke peyaa eh ethey,” connoting the dearth of opportunity here.
Good or bad?
Has our society metamorphosed, or has it degenerated? Have our traditions, our sanskaar been ostracised or forgotten? A few years ago, I got a call from a schoolmate from the US. He asked if there was a halfway home, an elderly home of a good standard available. I was stunned and upset beyond measure. I had served my father to his last day, and was a shout away from my octogenarian mother, and here was a guy asking me the unthinkable for his mother. He had met me on his visit home for his father’s funeral. His mum was alone on her own choosing since she did not wish to burden her daughter who had a life and family of her own and a son who was satt-samunder-paar, overseas. It was not an easy decision for him either. He took her along later, but she was miserable. Eventually, he put her in a care home in Phagwara. She passed within six months. Is this an acceptable reality then?
The other day I was chatting with the Vice-Chancellor of a university in central India. She was suitably concerned with this terrible drain of youth. She lamented that the banks willingly lend money to the student paying quantum dollars, marks, pounds, even Chinese currency whereas excellent education is available within the country. She also shared that colleges are now depleted of students as this flow now is a cascade, even a deluge. Resources are leaving the nation. True that. I definitely agreed with her that the best brains, and the able-bodied who can, will continue to exit the country. But curbing this outbound tide is feasible only if we revamp the education system with experiential learning, make minds blossom as they do overseas in nurturing academic environs. We need to expand the capacities of IITs, the ISBs and IIMs. We need to generate employment as we work on employability. But who the hell is listening? Every few years we talk about a rosier future after slipping in the past and sliding in the present. India@50, India@75, or the new India in 2047. Selling dreams even the populace is least interested in.
On the flip side look at our chests swelling with pride. Kids from town are now heading unicorns and banks, Michelin star establishments and fleets, massive orchards, and farms. Armed with degrees from the top business schools of the world, they are honchos of technological high ends and sit on the high tables of the corporate world. This is indeed phenomenal for this sleepy old town regardless of the downsides of brain drain. In fact, till such time that we cannot build the environment to nurture and nourish talent, perhaps it is best that this brain drain is regarded as brain gain for the next generation of youth. In time they may connect when we have set our house in order, they may in fact be the instruments to usher in that change with global knowledge and contemporary skills at hand required for the change back home. And why not?
Going overseas in search of jobs is also an old tradition of these lands. Working on railroads for the British, enlisting to fight world wars in alien nations is not new to the people of this region. The risks they have been taken in yesteryears excite the youth even today. Narratives of Kartar Singh Sarabha and Shahid Udham Singh, slipping into Britain for a purpose, eventually avenging the tyranny back home after taking the steamers across raging seas, sacrificing, and ushering freedom to the nation. Or those who went abroad to study the new, learn the latest, and bring home the spoils the nation so needed.
The globetrotters of the last century
We are today spread across the globe, from Iran to Japan, Europe to the Americas, across Asia and Britain, even Africa and down under. Historically some of these flights of fancy were transitory, but many took root, became pioneers in places like British Columbia (early 1900s), and established a rich diasporic space in many lands. It is famously documented that in November 1914, a British colonel carrying out a recruiting tour of local villages near Amritsar found himself to be one of forty-two competing regimental recruiting parties in the neighbourhood. Such was the desire of the locals for foreign shores, enterprise at cost of lives and much loneliness, thus ensuring easy pickings for the English in search for fighters and workers.
So why lament when the roads outbound were treaded upon ages ago, shipping lanes frequented by the adventurous, and the legacy of heading for greener pastures established. Let’s instead salute the Columbian urges of youth for discovery, support them and let them shine wherever they wish to go.

FILM
AMBULANCE
★★★
136 minutes, rated MA
I’ve spent as much time railing against Michael Bay as the next film reviewer, but I’m prepared to give the devil his due: his films aren’t the kind that could have been made by just anybody.
A minute or two into new action-thriller Ambulance, I was already ticking off the signature elements: the low angles and sweeping camera moves, the fascination with reflective surfaces, the achingly unfunny banter, the thing about American flags.
I even found myself wondering, reluctantly, if I’d been doing Bay an injustice. Yes, his style has all the restraint of a two-year-old on a sugar high, but doesn’t that give his films a certain redeeming energy? And isn’t it preferable to the lacklustre anonymity that has overtaken so much blockbuster cinema?
Ultimately, I can’t respond to Ambulance with more than a shaky thumbs-up, but if you’re in the mood to tackle a Bay film with an open mind, this is as good a chance as you’re likely to get.
One immediate plus is the absence of giant computer-generated robots: Bay was quoted recently saying he doesn’t care for digital effects, which must have made completing five Transformers films something of a struggle.
Instead, the starting-point is a solid action movie premise taken from a little-known 2005 Danish film of the same title (which runs for a tidy 80 minutes. Bay’s version is well over two hours).
In the aftermath of a bank robbery gone wrong, the ambulance in question is hijacked by two desperate brothers, Will (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and Danny (Jake Gyllenhaal), launching an epic chase through the streets of Los Angeles.
This pair could represent the two halves of Bay’s own driven personality: Will is the relatively level-headed one at the wheel, Danny the hothead urging him on to ever greater recklessness.
Also on board is Cam (Eiza Gonzalez), a tough parademic who is styled to resemble one of Bay’s usual sports model types, but turns out to have a whole backstory about getting addicted to speed and failing her medical exams (everybody in this movie has a backstory: let no-one say Bay isn’t interested in his characters as people).
Most crucially, there’s Zach (Jackson White), a rookie cop who may be dying of his gunshot wounds in the back seat, but serves meanwhile as an especially valuable hostage. The need to keep him alive eventually forces the untrained Cam to perform surgery with the ambulance still in motion, a gruesome sequence which is one of the less anticipated excesses.
That may sound like a spoiler, but there are plenty more climaxes to follow. I’ve not yet mentioned the whole law enforcement side of the story, involving a surly police captain (Garrett Dillahunt) and a smarmy FBI agent (Keir O’Donnell) who went to college with Danny (more backstory), nor the family of Latino gangsters out of Breaking Bad.
Gyllenhaal does more bellowing than is usual for any actor who isn’t Al Pacino and in general seems to relish the chance to work with a director unfamiliar with the phrase “too much”.
But the main pleasures come less from the drama than from motion for its own sake: the airborne camera racing alongside an elevated railway track, or weaving between skyscrapers that loom uncannily against blue sky, as if Bay was missing the Transformers after all.
At some point, it all becomes a blur, making it impossible to judge how long the film has been going, or how much longer there might be until the end. It’s the same problem Bay always suffers: the need to ramp up every single moment leaves him no way to build a crescendo, and piling on more and more just leads to exhaustion.
But inducing this numb, exhausted feeling may be Bay’s exact goal, his way of making us feel that we’ve had our money’s worth. Again, justice where it’s due: reports claim that Ambulance was made for just $40 million, by his standards little more than spare change.
I can hardly believe this is correct – but if it is, I salute his ability to tire me out so much more thoroughly than most directors could with five times the budget.

Boris Johnson's Tory government has been slammed for increasing National Insurance payments as people face mounting living costs.
The SNP hit out as families across the country will be "thousands of pounds worse off" due to the hike in costs.
National Insurance (NI) will rise by 1.25 per cent from today, with workers now forced to pay 13.25 per cent.
The rise comes after the UK's energy regulator increased the price cap, meaning millions are now paying hundreds of pounds more for their electricity and gas.
For those on default tariffs who pay by direct debit the cap increased by £693 from £1,277 to £1,971.
While, prepayment customers saw a bigger jump, with their price cap going up by £708, from £1,309 to £2,017.
The regulator was forced to hike the energy price cap to a record £1,971 for a typical household as gas prices soared to unprecedented highs.
SNP Fair work and employment spokesperson Chris Stephens said families are facing a tough time.
He added: "The Tory cost of living crisis is spiralling out of control because of the damaging decisions imposed by Westminster, including Tory austerity cuts, tax hikes and Brexit.
"At a time when families are going to be thousands of pounds worse off, it is disgraceful that the Tories are hammering people's incomes further by raising regressive taxes like National Insurance and VAT, slashing Universal Credit by £1040, and scrapping the triple lock on pensions.
"In stark contrast, the SNP government is using the powers it has to put money into people's pockets by doubling the Scottish Child payment, raising Scottish benefits by 6%, and ensuring the lowest average rates of council tax in the UK - alongside the £150 rebate."
While, Lib Dems leader Ed Davey said families are struggling to make ends meet as it is.
He added: "Families are facing soaring energy bills and desperately need a tax cut to help them make ends meet.
"But instead of helping, the Conservatives are breaking their promises by raising taxes again and again."
During his Spring Statement Chancellor Rishi Sunak attempted to ease the blow by raising the threshold in which people start paying NI to £12,570, however it doesn't come into effect until July 6.
From today the threshold has risen from £9,568 to £9,880.
It's believed the Sunak announced could save people around £300-a-year.
The rise of 1.25 per cent will be in place for a year, with the rate going back to its 2021/22 level for the 2023/24 financial year, and the income stream replaced by a new health and social care levy of 1.25 per cent.
The proposal is predicted to raise £12 billion annually.
The Record has contacted the UK Government for comment.
How much will I pay under the new plans?
The amount of NICs you pay depends on your salary, however workers earning under £9,880 don't have to pay and won't have to pay the new levy.

- £20,000 annual pay: NIC now - £104; NIC from April 6 - £112; NIC from July 6 - £82

MANILA - Among the presidential candidates, Sen. Panfilo Lacson has the chance to "get the soft votes" from survey frontrunner Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, his assistant campaign manager said Wednesday.
Former Bureau of Internal Revenue commissioner Kim Henares joined Lacson's team after he resigned as chairman of Partido Reporma due to its transfer of support to Vice President Leni Robredo.
"We did some data analytics. If you look at it, for somebody to win, you have to get the soft votes from BBM. The person that has the chance to get the soft votes from BBM is Lacson," she told ANC's Headstart.
"We’re not really certain whether the surveys are correct or not. Because of the pandemic, there was a change in methodology," she added.
The former tax chief said she has been a "supporter of Ping Lacson from Day 1."
"We believe he will win. First of all when you talk to people, think majority of people say he’s the most competent of the candidates but he’s not winnable. The campaign is to basically remove 'but he is not winnable,'" she said.
"If you look at the survey and when talking to people he’s a strong choice. If everyone who thinks he’s competent votes for him, he will win. The campaign is to remove that 'but' phrase."
MARCOSES ESTATE TAX
Henares, meantime, countered former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile's (JPE) claim that an estate tax is levied upon the estate and not its heirs.
"I just read the provision of the law. First logically, when somebody’s dead can you run after him? How can you say it’s the tax of Ferdinand E. Marcos? You need somebody to implement the transfer of estate. Logically it’s somebody alive," she said.
"This is a tax quote of 1977, passed during martial law years by Ferdinand E. Marcos. Dura lex sed lex. The law said this, then we should apply this. Any law student, the first thing we are taught, when the law is clear, you implement it, you don’t need to interpret it."
She added, "Remember this is 1977. Most probably JPE had a hand in drafting this law. You don't need to be a lawyer, you just need to know English and read it."
Henares said the BIR during her time as commissioner had tried to "find properties, trying to collect this tax."
She later said that the "case never really came to my attention, nobody really raised it, we just followed what we had been doing."
"There was an option to file a criminal case but in a criminal case you have to prove willfulness not just failure to file. These are all circumstantial evidence. Is this enough at the time to prove willfulness of failure to pay," she said.
"I think at that time we never even thought about it because what we were concentrating on is really about working on cases that's really during our time nakita namin (we saw) we can prove and we had a chance of winning."

SAN ANTONIO — A Fort Sam Houston ISD student has a fearless attitude and she’s inspiring others with her fiery spirit and determination to succeed.
Arabella Ravnall is a vibrant force at Robert G. Cole High School.
“She's one of our very special kids who've been here her entire school career, and that doesn't happen much with the military school,” said Principal, Isabell Clayton.
Arabella’s teachers said she’s spunky, strong and able to leap over obstacles in a single bound.
“She really is the epitome of, if you fall, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again,” said Teacher, Dr. Kayla Nellums.
Clayton said Arabella is the unofficial school ambassador and one of the most welcoming students who ever attended Cole High School.
“She will reach out to anybody who's new and she'll make them feel comfortable, she’ll make sure they get to the right place,” said Clayton. “She's just amazing.”
Arabella earns top grades in the classroom while participating in a long list of school activities, including National Honor Society, Cheerleading, Student Council, and acting as Captain of the Soccer Team.
“Everything she does, she does with enthusiasm and she cares about everybody here, and that makes her stand out,” said Clayton.
Arabella said she’s honored to be a role model to her peers, and she leads with a humble heart.
“I try and motivate people to bring out the best in them,” said Arabella. “So, I don't really think about myself like that. I think about others before I think about myself.”
Arabella is creating a brighter tomorrow by showing others today that the bravest thing you can be, is yourself.
“Be proud of who you are because it's not easy,” said Arabella. “And, if you want to change, change for yourself, not for other people.”
Those are just a few reasons why Arabella Ravnall is a KENS5 All-Star Student.
Alex Hatzis representing over 60 UPS Stores across the region, presented Arabella with the All-Star Award.
Arabella said she hopes to continue her mission of inspiring others when she graduates and attends Texas Woman’s University. She plans to pursue a career as a social worker to work with children.
“She has the biggest heart that you will ever, ever, ever, ever find,” said Nellums. “and because she has such a big heart, she is going to take that and she's going to rule the world with it.”

Atlanta's G League team flourishes with women in key roles
Tori Miller didn’t play college basketball, since she thought standing 5-foot-2 would be a bit of a drawback. Kelly German’s only college playing experience was a brief intramurals career. Janice Koon grew up on a farm in northern Canada, not knowing much about the game.
The College Park Skyhawks might be lost without them.
The Skyhawks — the Atlanta Hawks’ affiliate — are the hottest team in the G League headed into Tuesday’s start to the playoffs, carrying an 11-game winning streak into the postseason. And much of their success can be traced back to the work of those three women, who aren’t exactly dissuaded by the fact that most of their colleagues across the league are men.
“All it takes it that one NBA team, that one team to believe and maybe five years from now, we’re not having this conversation,” said Miller, the first female general manager in the G League. “Maybe five years from now, we’ll see more women have these jobs. That’s what keeps me going, the idea that one day, this can be commonplace.”
It isn’t, yet. But Miller, German and Koon all agree it will be, soon.
German is the athletic trainer for the team. Koon is a vice president tasked with much of the day-to-day operations. Miller and German are also both Black and both from the Atlanta area, which only deepens the ties they feel with the Hawks and now the Skyhawks.
“I think it’s tremendously important,” German said. “In the world that we live in today, the society that we’re in, a lot of things are being brought to light and so a lot of people — not just women and women of color, but people across the world — are saying, ‘You know what, I can do that too.’’ And I think that by seeing someone in our roles and kind of bringing attention to it, it lets the world know, ‘If they can do it, why can’t I?’”
The three women all said they’ve never sat together and discussed how they could be considered trailblazers. Quite the contrary, really.
For her part, Koon cringes at the notion.
“I just feel like I work with really, really talented people,” Koon said. “For most of my young career — I actually don’t know how to say this — but I almost downplayed my role. I just wanted to do the work. And I never thought about myself being a girl. I thought about myself doing the work. I didn’t focus on anything else at all.”
The G League is currently the last stop for numerous female referees on their way to the NBA, a path many women's officials have already completed. The league has a long history of women's involvement, going back more than two decades to when current NBA broadcaster Stephanie Ready was the first female to be a head coach in the league — and that was in 2001.
Koo spent more than a decade with the Hawks before joining the Skyhawks. She was the liaison between the Hawks and their food-and-beverage partners, along with parking. For the Skyhawks, she runs the game-day experience for fans.
Miller is in her second year as general manager, after spending the previous three years in basketball operations and as an assistant GM. German was an assistant athletic trainer for the Hawks last season before taking over as head athletic trainer for the Skyhawks this season.
On Tuesday, the Skyhawks will play the Capital City Go-Go in the first round of the playoffs. It’s a single-elimination game, win or go home. And it will feature the league’s only two female general managers — Miller for College Park, Amber Nichols for Capital City. Nichols was hired in January 2021.
“There’s a huge responsibility that I feel each and every day,” Miller said. “This is a position that I don’t take lightly. I want to do well, because I know that can impact future generations. So, it’s a responsibility, but it’s fun. I’ll say that. It’s challenging. It’s fun and challenging and rewarding, all in the same breath.”

Grocery chain to pay $175K for egg price gouging in pandemic
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Grocery chain Smart & Final has agreed to pay $175,000 in penalties to resolve allegations that the grocer engaged in price gouging of certain organic and cage-free eggs at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, state authorities said Tuesday.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta said that between March 4, 2020, and June 22, 2020, Smart & Final increased the price of four premium egg products beyond what was allowable during a state of emergency.
An investigation found that Smart & Final sold over 100,000 cartons of eggs that were marked up by more than 10%, violating the law, Bonta said.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency, triggering price-gouging protections through August 2020.
The attorney general’s office said that it received many complaints about dramatic increases in the cost of eggs after Newsom’s emergency declaration. Many related specifically to price spikes at Smart & Final stores across California.
“Today’s settlement should serve as a warning to grocers and other sellers of essential supplies, follow state price gouging laws or you will pay the price and be held to account,” Bonta said.
Smart & Final operates more than 250 retail stores throughout the western United States.

A night out at a bar in downtown Indianapolis in March turned troublesome after multiple women reported feeling drugged there, according to the bar manager.
Now, its bartenders are putting lids on their cups when serving in an effort to make customers feel safe.
"The fear of being drugged is widespread," said Julie Morrison, a forensic nurse for IU Health.
Morrison said hospitals aren't seeing a high volume of patients feeling drugged, but it takes these allegations seriously. Morrison says there are several different date rape drugs out here that make testing difficult.
"We don't check for that class of drugs normally if somebody would come in and they are awake and talking. What we would do, is keep blood and urine from them and if and when they involve law enforcement but that doesn't happen very often it really doesn't," said Morrison. "Another problem with these drugs is they metabolize out of their system very quickly."
To avoid these concerns, keep your drink with you at all times. When in doubt, pour it out.
"It's worth the money to buy you a new drink when you return versus having a bad experience," said Cliff Rawley, a lead instructor at Midwest Bartending School.
Behind the bar, with every shake, mix and pour, Rawley and his staff teach hundreds of bartenders how to properly serve drinks and not put themselves in a position to be accused of pouring something in a drink.
"One thing we instill on the very first day of class is we build drinks on the front bar. Build them in plain view of the guest. Make sure you never turn your back to the guest with a glass in your hand or build a drink underneath the bar where the guest will lose sight of that glass. We want to make sure they always have a visual on it. We don't want our bartenders or their employers to ever be drug into a legal issue," said Rawley.

DraftKings contributors Steve Buchanan and Garion Thorne, along with Rotowire’s Erik Halterman, join The Sweat to give their favorite DraftKings value plays for MLB’s opening day slate.
Set your DraftKings fantasy baseball lineups here: MLB $400K Opening Day Special [$100K to 1st]
Video Transcript
Erik Halterman:
Well, if I get to go first here, that means I get to talk about Julio Rodriguez. Yeah, unless you’re both going to talk about Julio Rodriguez, in which case I’ll pivot and go with Steven Kwan to let somebody else talk about Julio Rodriguez.
Not nearly as exciting a prospect as Julio, but if Steven Kwan is starting, he’s at just $2,200. He’ll get to go against Zack Greinke, who at this stage of his career is not exactly an intimidating opening day guy—doesn’t really strike guys out anymore.
If Kwan plays, which I think he will, the Guardians aren’t exactly famous for spending money or starting their guys’ service time clocks or anything like that, so if he’s allowed to play almost every day, which I think he’s going to, he’s going to rack up a ton of hits. He’s an elite contact hitter. He’s a career 9.2% strikeout rate in the minor leagues— lower than his walk rate—a .328 hitter in the minors.
He’s got kind of that like Luis Arráez, Nick Madrigal type profile where he legitimately could win a batting title already. But you’re expecting probably single digit homers. He has more of a shot at 10 homers than the other guys, who are probably going to get about two, but he, I think, is already one of the best contract hitters in the league even though he hasn’t played at all. So if everybody in the world is going to Julio Rodriguez, who I would still include as well, I think Kwan is another way to get some value in your outfield.
Steve Buchanan:
Yeah, of course everybody’s going to go to Julio Rodriguez, I’ll leave that for Garion because believe me, you are going to hear plenty of Mariners talk from me for me throughout the season. We’re not even at opening day yet, so I’ll save that for later.
Let’s talk about the absurd pricing for Bobby Witt Jr., who is coming up here. He is that rare mix of speed and power that you don’t really get in major league baseball anymore. This is somebody who only played in the minors for two years, 2019 and 2021, because there was no minor league season in 2020. Through AA and AAA, nearly identical stat lines—16 and 17 home runs in 61 and 62 games. He did cut his K percentage down from Double A to Triple A, which is nice—wasn’t a big drop, went from 24 to 22.5 percent—rather see that go down rather than going up.
At third base, $2300 it’s a steal. You are never going to get Bobby Witt Jr. this low—maybe you will on Friday, because it hasn’t caught up yet—but believe me, by next week, you’re not going to be getting him at $2300.
Now let’s hear Garion talk about Julio Rodriguez.
Garion Thorne:
There’s not really much that needs to be said. This is someone who posted a 1.3 OPS in the spring, he’s one of the top prospects in all of baseball, he’s probably going to be hitting in the middle of this Mariners lineup—I mean, these are kind of the Kelenic rules. We did this last year and it took a really long time for Kelenic’s price to go up, although he struggled pretty immensely. I don’t think Julio Rodriguez is going to have that problem. But yeah, all of these top prospects who are just underpriced for the first week, you have to keep an eye on.
If you do want to go in another direction—and like the complete opposite direction—and just start taking some like boring veteran players who are probably going to be hitting in the middle of their respective team’s lineups, I do like Luke Voit at $3500 going up against Madison Bumgarner. I also like Corey Dickerson for the Cardinals—probably going to hit fifth or sixth. We just talked about how much Brubaker struggles against left-handed bats. I think Dickerson could be a sneaky play at $3,200.
Erik’s Pick: Steven Kwan ($2,200)
Steve’s Pick: Bobby Witt Jr. ($2,300)
Garion’s Picks: Julio Rodriguez ($2,100), Corey Dickerson ($3,200), Luke Voit ($3,500)

Police have detained eight men for money laundering. The group used stolen funds to purchase USD56 million (MOP430 million) in cryptocurrency over a six-month period, of which at least MOP180 million was transferred abroad.
According to Judiciary Police (PJ), they detained the eight men last week at a telecommunications store and a hotel in NAPE.
The suspects are aged 33 to 44. Two of them are Macau residents and owners of telecommunications stores. The other six men are unemployed Hong Kong residents.
The eight men were charged with money laundering and criminal syndication, and were referred to the prosecutor’s office for investigation yesterday morning, the PJ revealed.
The two local men are suspected of inviting Hong Kong residents into Macau to buy virtual money to help launder the proceeds of online fraud.
The six Hong Kong residents went to the telecommunications store to buy virtual currency with cash. They then sold it through a virtual currency overseas trading platform. The proceeds were transferred to a number of offshore bank accounts. The Hong Kong residents involved then withdrew the money from local ATMs.
Police said that after the suspects withdrew the money, they went back to the telecommunication store to buy virtual currency and kept on making circular transactions and transfers, “which made it more difficult for the police to trace.”
“Six Hong Kong men confessed that they were instructed by members of the crime syndicate to come to Macau to trade virtual currency for a daily reward of MOP2,000. Two of the Macau suspects refused to cooperate, However, the evidence obtained by the police indicated that all eight suspects were involved,” the police revealed.
During the operation, police seized the allegedly stolen Hong Kong dollars, Macau patacas, and Chinese yuan, amounting to MOP570,000 in cash.
Moreover, 168 bank ATM cards, mobile phones, an expensive watch and two cars suspected of being used in the crime were seized.
With the assistance of the Hong Kong police, PJ also froze a total of USD30,698 (MOP248,000) in cryptocurrency.

[4/5/22] Auditor’s Report On Douglas County Treasurer
A new report from the Washington State Auditor finds former Douglas County Treasurer Natalie Marx fell behind in paying $6.3 million in federal payroll tax before county commissioners ejected her from office last year.
The audit report, issued Thursday, finds the delayed payment of the taxes cost about $101,000 in IRS late fees. A separate audit also finds that Marx’s office did not appropriately reconcile its financial statements throughout 2020.
“Between March 2020 and March 2021, the County paid 13 payroll taxes payments, totaling about $6.3 million, one to four days late, with the exception of one payment that was 109 days late because of a technical issue the Treasurer’s Office did not identify timely,” the report says. “These payments included payroll taxes for the County and two other junior taxing districts” — the Eastmont and Bridgeport school districts, whose tax affairs are managed by the county treasurer.
Marx worked in the Douglas County treasurer’s office as a deputy for 13 years before being elected to head the office in 2018. She accepted responsibility for the errors last August, and commissioners removed her from office in September, as allowed under state law when an elected treasurer is found to have committed misconduct. She was never accused of criminal wrongdoing.
“The County Treasurer’s Office did not have a complete understanding of the IRS deadline, and leadership did not dedicate the necessary time and resources to meeting the deadline for all payroll tax payments,” the report finds.
The late payments resulted in about $30,000 in IRS late fees assessed for Douglas County, and an estimated $71,000 in late fees applied to the school districts. The IRS abated about $27,000 of the fees, and Douglas County reimbursed Eastmont and Bridgeport school districts for their federal fees.
Felisha Rosales was appointed to the treasurer’s post in December. In its written response to the audit, the county says it’s taken steps to ensure those tax and accounting oversights won’t happen again.

CHICAGO (AP) — Brook Lopez scored a season-high 28 points and the Milwaukee Bucks overcame a rather quiet performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo to clinch their fourth straight Central Division championship with a 127-106 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.
The defending NBA champion Bucks haven’t been on a run like this since Don Nelson’s teams won seven consecutive division titles in the 1980s.
They took control early and came away with an easy win even though DeMar DeRozan scored 40 for Chicago.
Antetokounmpo, trying to overtake LeBron James and Joel Embiid in a tight race for his first scoring title, finished with 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. But the two-time MVP started slow and spent most of the fourth quarter on the bench after picking up his fifth foul.
Lopez had his best performance after missing most of the season because of a back injury. Khris Middleton scored 19.
Grayson Allen and Bobby Portis added 13 points apiece as the Bucks completed a four-game season sweep of the Bulls.
DeRozan did all he could to carry Chicago, with two-time All-Star Zach LaVine sidelined because of ongoing soreness in his left knee.
Patrick Williams added 18 points. Nikola Vucevic struggled, going 3 of 19 and scoring seven points. He did draw loud cheers when he knocked Allen to the floor early in the fourth quarter, delighting fans angry about Allen’s hard foul earlier this season on Chicago’s Alex Caruso that resulted in a broken wrist.
But the Bulls once again lost to an elite opponent. They are a combined 2-20 against the top four teams in the East and West.
Chicago also fell to sixth place in the Eastern Conference, a game behind Toronto with three to play. The Raptors beat Atlanta.
Vucevic hit a corner 3-pointer for Chicago just before the halftime buzzer and DeRozan hit a jumper in the opening seconds of the third to cut it to 58-48.
Milwaukee regrouped and pushed the lead to 21, only to have the Bulls get within 10 again late in the third. Two free throws by Antetokounmpo in the closing minute of the quarter and a 3 from the top by Jrue Holiday made it 96-80 before DeRozan hit jumper to cut the margin to 14 heading to the fourth.
TIP-INS
Bucks: Antetokounmpo was available despite a sore right knee.
Bulls: PG Lonzo Ball experienced another setback in his recovery from surgery for a torn meniscus in his left knee, raising more doubt about whether he will play again this season. Ball felt some discomfort after he tried to ramp up activities again following a 10-day pause, coach Billy Donovan said. Donovan said the next step will probably be a “meeting of the minds” in the next day or two. And the possibility of Ball missing the remainder of the season is “on the table.” Ball has not played since Jan. 14. ... Donovan said he didn’t necessarily get the sense that LaVine will need to miss a chunk of games, though his status for Wednesday’s matchup with Boston was in question.
UP NEXT
Bucks: Host the Boston Celtics on Thursday.
Bulls: Host the Celtics on Wednesday.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Former Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman Doug Sutherland, a member of the Purple People Eaters, has died. He was 73.
The team released a statement saying Sutherland died Tuesday, but did not provide a cause of death.
“Doug Sutherland was one of our proudest legends,” Vikings owner Zygi Wilf and Owner/President Mark Wilf said in a joint statement. “His humble nature did not allow for him to talk much about his own playing career, but Doug was a key member of some of the best defenses in NFL history and three Super Bowl teams. Doug was also the consummate teammate after football. He was one of the most active members of Vikings legends events and didn’t miss a chance to help out at a community event or lend a hand where needed. Our thoughts are with Doug’s friends and family.”
Sutherland played 12 seasons in the NFL from 1970-81 with New Orleans, Minnesota and Seattle. Drafted by the Saints in the 14th round, he was traded to the Vikings the following season and played 10 years in Minnesota. Sutherland registered 29 sacks in 164 career games.
Sutherland replaced defensive tackle Gary Larsen after he retired, and became part of a feared defensive line that featured Pro Football Hall of Famers Alan Page and Carl Eller, and Jim Marshall.

Japanese robot can peel bananas cleanly, most of the time
TOKYO, April 6 (Reuters) - Robots in Japan are found on factory floors carrying out simple tasks or delivering food to restaurant patrons but researchers have now unveiled a robot capable of executing the delicate task of peeling a banana without squashing the fruit inside.
While the dual-armed machine is only successful 57% of the time, banana peeling points to a future where machines undertake more subtle operations than moving metal parts or delivering coffee.
Video from researchers at the University of Tokyo showed the robot pick up and peel a banana with both hands in about three minutes.
Researchers Heecheol Kim, Yoshiyuki Ohmura and Yasuo Kuniyoshi trained the robot using a "deep imitation learning" process where they demonstrated the banana-peeling action hundreds of times to produce sufficient data for the robot to learn the actions and replicate it.
In this case, the banana reached its success rate after more than 13 hours of training.
While still undergoing more testing, Kuniyoshi believes his robot training method can teach robots to do different simple "human" tasks.
He hopes the better-trained robots can alleviate Japan's labour shortage problems, for example at bento lunch box or food processing factories that are highly dependent on human labour.

BOULDER, Colo. — You don’t have to hike far to see the scars in Boulder County.
"It’s some kind of anxiety that builds up every time it’s windy," said Kinda, a hiker in Boulder. "When it’s windy, I just think back to when I had to evacuate."
There are scars on the hillside and in the memories of the people who know the impact fire and wind can have when they mix together.
Strong wind across Colorado is leaving communities on high alert as fire danger increases. The winds are expected to continue for the next several days, with Red Flag Warnings issued around the state.
"I remember the sirens, the police coming through the apartment complex, telling us to get out," said Kinda, who had to evacuate during the Marshall Fire in December. "The wind, the smoke smell, it brings back memories every time."
Less than two weeks ago, rangers with Boulder Open Space raced to evacuate people from the NCAR Fire. Tuesday, they were out warning hikers to not start fires and to be aware of smoke.
"Certainly when we get conditions like this, we all get a little more nervous. We get a little more tense. I think everyone does," said Phillip Yates with the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks. "When I see the wind whip like this, it’s an important reason why we need to deliver those communications."
The City of Boulder put out extensive warnings before this week’s wind event. They're warnings that come from the knowledge of what can happen with just one spark.
"We’re now living in a different context than we probably were even three or four years ago," Yates said. "Fire season is occurring likely throughout the year. We just had a pretty significant fire a week ago."
Boulder has seen an increase in people coming out to use hiking trails and public land, especially during the pandemic. That creates an even bigger concern that someone can unintentionally start a fire, and an even bigger reason to remind everyone to be careful.

Umar Riaz has been trending on Twitter after Rashami Desai spoke about his personal life during an interview. The actress, who shared a special connection with Umar inside the Bigg Boss 15 house, recently hinted in her interview that Umar might not be single which has irked his fans.
In an interview, when Rashami was asked about her bond with Umar, she said, “Umar might be having someone in his life as he is a very private person. We respect each other’s boundaries. I understand people love to see me with Umar, and I respect that. We are just friends and the kind of bond we have, is where we keep fighting a lot and having disagreements, though we fight the friendship is always the same."
This statement hasn’t gone down well with Umar’s fans and they have been slamming the actress for it. A user wrote, “Who the hell is she to comment on Umar’s personal life! When Umar himself said he is single!" Another one tweeted, “I had said it from day 1- her entry was to mess with Umar’s game and help her bestie Teja win it. And now look, both are in the same show and she is making music videos and chilling with people whom Umar made a bond with. She used him to revive her career."
Rashami later reached out to Mumbai police on Twitter and urged them to look into the matter as she alleged Umar’s fans were “harassing" her by “dragging" her family into it.
On the work front, Rashami is currently seen on Naagin 6 and her performance has been widely appreciated on social media.

The Colorado Department of Transportation and contractor partners Lawrence Construction and IHC Scott have nearly completed the removal of material from the Colorado River in six locations.
The work is part of several efforts to prepare Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon for possible 2022 spring runoff and summer debris flows. CDOT crews will soon resume a rockfall removal project in the canyon.
Crews will continue previous work to clear rock caught by rockfall fencing, repair fencing and remove loose rock from the canyon walls. Midwest Rockfall, Inc. is the contractor on the rock fence repairs.
Before (right) and after road repairs and river material removal at Blue Gulch (Mile Point 123.5) on I-70 in Glenwood Canyon.
“CDOT has made tremendous progress in recovery from the 2021 mudflows,” said CDOT Executive Director Shoshana Lew. “From fixing the road in record time to removing material from the river, as well as rockfall work and other mitigation, it’s been a team effort. And that team extends beyond this agency. CDOT will continue to work with agency partners to manage this complex section of I-70 and impacts on our vital alternate routes."
Preparation efforts included two coordination exercises organized by the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Federal, state and local agencies met in Glenwood Springs and Gunnison on March 29 and 30 to review emergency response protocol for closures of I-70 in Glenwood Canyon. One hundred and seventy participants from more than 50 agencies participated in the tabletop exercises.
“The importance of partnerships in emergency operations cannot be understated,” said Kevin Klein, director of the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
“The response to the 2021 mudflows and rockslides demonstrated the value of our partnerships. Exercises help strengthen these relationships making us better prepared for future incidents.”
“It is truly encouraging to see turnout from so many federal, state and local agency partners,” said Lew. “We look forward to continuing to work together with stakeholders from along the I-70 corridor, the northern alternate route and the southern route to build on the lessons learned from 2020 and 2021.”
Mudslides in July 2021 prompted an extended safety closure on I-70 for approximately two weeks. CDOT crews worked around the clock to remove boulders, dirt, rocks and other debris from the highway.
Road repairs were also necessary, and were completed in December 2021. Since January, contractor partners Lawrence Construction and IHC Scott have focused on removing material from the Colorado River at six locations.The debris piles at these locations were created in summer 2021 by mudslides and other material flows.
Removing material significantly helps protect I-70 and other infrastructure in the canyon, by lowering the risk of damage from high water or new mudslides. The Federal Highway Administration has concurred that mitigating the risk of runoff is critical to protecting the interstate and will reimburse the state’s costs pursuant to the emergency relief program supporting the repairs to I-70 over the past several months. Work is weather-dependent and motorists are reminded to drive the posted speeds through the work zone and drive for conditions.
For spring, summer and fall 2022, CDOT continues to have an I-70 Glenwood Canyon safety protocol in place to protect the traveling public. Motorists planning to travel on I-70, visit rest areas or use the recreation path in Glenwood Canyon should pay close attention to weather forecasts.
If there is rain in the forecast, be prepared for a safety closure of I-70, rest areas and recreation path. CDOT recommends that travelers have a back up plan in the event that closures are necessary. If a closure is anticipated to last longer than two hours, CDOT continues to recommend that travelers use the northern alternate route.
If a safety closure of I-70 in Glenwood Canyon is anticipated to last longer than two hours, CDOT recommends a northern alternate route using Colorado Highway 9, US Highway 40 and Colorado Highway 13. Motorists should anticipate delays on the alternate route due to additional detour traffic and possible construction or maintenance projects.
WESTBOUND I-70: Motorists coming from the Denver metro area or Interstate 25 can travel westbound on I-70 to Silverthorne, then turn north onto CO 9. In Kremmling, travelers should turn onto westbound US Highway 40 towards Steamboat Springs. After reaching Craig, motorists can return south via CO 13 towards Rifle. Access to I-70 westbound is at Rifle.
EASTBOUND I-70: Motorists traveling eastbound from Utah or Grand Junction can reach the Denver Metro area by traveling the route above in reverse. CO 13 north to US 40 east to CO 9 south.
CDOT strongly discourages travelers from using highways south of I-70 for an alternate route, due to extensive construction closures on US Highway 50.
CDOT also asks that motorists not use Cottonwood Pass Road (in Eagle/Garfield counties), Hagerman Pass, Eagle/Thomasville Road or other county or forest service roads in Eagle, Garfield and Pitkin counties as a detour. These roads are not built for heavy traffic or commercial oversize vehicles. Many of these four-wheel drive roads also do not have cell phone coverage.
Motorists should be familiar with the recommended alternate route (more information below) and should check www.cotrip.org for the latest road conditions and route options. CDOT also recommends that travelers bring an emergency kit with water, snacks, a flashlight and a blanket, as mountain conditions often change suddenly.

Petitioner wants stadia probe team declared illegal
What you need to know:
- He has also questioned Metto’s authority to appoint Mr Stephen Oundo as chairman of the investigating committee and Lorine Shitubi, the Chief Legal Officer of Sports Kenya, to the secretariat of the team.
- Justice Jairus Ngaah directed the respondents and interested parties to file their responses before the mention of the case on May 18, for directions on its hearing and determination.
Ongoing investigation on seven stadium projects undertaken by the government hangs in the balance following a court petition challenging the legality the composition of the probe team.
In a case certified as urgent, Mr John Ndegwa Wanjau has petitioned the High Court to declare the Independent Committee of Experts formed to investigate the multi-million shilling stadium projects an illegal entity.
The projects include Wote Stadium in Makueni County, Chuka Stadium (Tharaka Nithi County), Kinoru Stadium (Meru), Marsabit Stadium (Marsabit), Ruring'u Stadium (Nyeri), Kipchoge Stadium (Uasin Gishu) and Kamariny Stadium (Elgeyo Marakwet).
The stadiums are being developed by Sports Kenya, a state corporation charged with running and maintaining public sports facilities. The projects are at different stages of completion and are experiencing different challenges, court papers indicate.
On January 17, Sports Kenya’s board of directors formed the 15-member Independent Committee of Experts chaired by Stephen Oudo to investigate the projects in relation to their concept, design, procurement process, contract and financial flow.
Mr Wanjau wants court to suspend and eventually quash the establishment of the committee and any resolutions it has made with regard to the investigations.
He has argued that the committee was unlawfully formed by Sports Kenya Board chaired by Mr Charles Waithaka.
According to Mr Wanjau, the three-year term of the Director-General of Sports Kenya, Mr Pius Metto, expired on January 7, and he lacked legal mandate to participate in the establishment of the committee.
"Mr Metto's mandate as Director-General was not and has not been extended or renewed," claims Mr Wanjau.
DNation bodytext: He claims that the expiry of mandate notwithstanding, Mr Metto, in his capacity as Director-General of Sports Kenya, sent a letter to the Principal Secretary in charge of sports at the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage on January 8 informing the PS about formation of the Committee.
Mr Wanjau further argues that the formation of the probe committee was approved in a meeting held on February 17 by a board which was not fully constituted. He pointed out that the three-year terms of four member of the board of expired on February 6, some 11 days before it approved the formation of the committee.
"This rendered the Board of Sports Kenya improperly constituted, contrary to the legal requirement as the term of four board members representing independent sports organizations, as per Section 6 of the Sports Act 2013, had expired on February 6, 2022. This effectively renders independent representation in the board of Sports Kenya non-existent. The Cabinet Secretary of Sports, Culture and Heritage has not appointment/reappointed the four board members," argues Mr Wanjau.
He has also questioned Metto’s authority to appoint Mr Stephen Oundo as chairman of the investigating committee and Lorine Shitubi, the Chief Legal Officer of Sports Kenya, to the secretariat of the team.
Justice Jairus Ngaah directed the respondents and interested parties to file their responses before the mention of the case on May 18, for directions on its hearing and determination.

Today in History
Today is Wednesday, April 6, the 96th day of 2022. There are 269 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On April 6, 1896, the first modern Olympic games formally opened in Athens, Greece.
On this date:
In 1862, the Civil War Battle of Shiloh began in Tennessee as Confederate forces launched a surprise attack against Union troops, who beat back the Confederates the next day.
In 1864, Louisiana opened a convention in New Orleans to draft a new state constitution, one that called for the abolition of slavery.
In 1909, American explorers Robert E. Peary and Matthew A. Henson and four Inuits became the first men to reach the North Pole.
In 1917, the United States entered World War I as the House joined the Senate in approving a declaration of war against Germany that was then signed by President Woodrow Wilson.
In 1943, “Le Petit Prince” (The Little Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupery was first published by Reynal & Hitchcock of New York.
In 1945, during World War II, the Japanese warship Yamato and nine other vessels sailed on a suicide mission to attack the U.S. fleet off Okinawa; the fleet was intercepted the next day.
In 1954, Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis., responding to CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow’s broadside against him on “See It Now,” said in remarks filmed for the program that Murrow had, in the past, “engaged in propaganda for Communist causes.”
In 1968, 41 people were killed by two consecutive natural gas explosions at a sporting goods store in downtown Richmond, Indiana.
In 1974, Swedish pop group ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest held in Brighton, England, with a performance of the song “Waterloo.”
In 2008, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, speaking at a private fundraiser in San Francisco, spoke of voters in Pennsylvania’s Rust Belt communities who “cling to guns or religion” because of bitterness about their economic lot; Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton seized on the comment, calling it “elitist.”
In 2014, legendary Hollywood actor Mickey Rooney, 93, died in North Hollywood.
In 2020, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was transferred to the intensive care unit of a London hospital where he was being treated for COVID-19, after his condition deteriorated.
Ten years ago: Five Black people were shot, three fatally, in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Jake England and Alvin Watts, who admitted targeting the victims because of race, pleaded guilty to murder, and were sentenced to life in prison without parole. A Navy F18 Hornet jet whose pilots were forced to eject crashed in a spectacular fireball into a big apartment complex in Virginia Beach, Virginia; miraculously, no one died. Fang Lizhi (fahng lee-juhr), 76, who was one of China’s best-known dissidents, died in Tucson, Arizona. Painter Thomas Kinkade, 54, died in Monte Sereno, California.
Five years ago: President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping (shee jihn-peeng) opened a two-day summit at Trump’s Florida beach resort. Don Rickles, the big-mouthed, bald-headed “Mr. Warmth” whose verbal assaults endeared him to audiences and peers and made him the acknowledged grandmaster of insult comedy, died at his Beverly Hills home at age 90.
One year ago: Moving up his deadline by about two weeks, President Joe Biden said every adult in the U.S. would be eligible for a coronavirus vaccination by April 19. Major League Baseball announced that the All-Star Game would be played at Coors Field in Denver; the game had been pulled from Atlanta because of objections to changes in Georgia’s voting laws.

Action sports and chocolate factory: New experiences in S'pore from as early as this year
With Singapore relaxing domestic Covid-19 rules and opening up its borders, the Singapore Tourism Board is gearing up for tourism recovery.
Several new attractions and experiences are being planned to capture pent-up travel demand. Here are some of them:
1. Action sports facility in Somerset
Singapore-based Adventure sports company The Ride Side will be setting up an action sports facility at the vacant site next to the Somerset Skate Park.
Called Trifecta, the facility will allow visitors to skate, surf, ski and snowboard at various sports arenas inspired by the powdery snow in Japan, the waves in Bali, and the skate bowls of California.
The slopes in the snow arena will be powered by the first virtual reality (VR) ski simulator in Asia to mimic the uneven terrain of a natural mountain. For surfing in wave pools, technology will be incorporated to generate water columns of 1.5 metres.
Apart from the arenas, this attraction will also feature eateries and retail stores.
Spanning over 49,611 square feet, this facility is part of plans to rejuvenate Orchard Road - Singapore's prime shopping belt.
2. Electric go-karts in Sentosa
A new racing and interactive gaming activity in Sentosa is being worked on by the Sentosa Development Corporation and Palawan Innovation Studios. Known as HyperDrive, the new attraction will use electric go-karts in a move to become more sustainable.
3. Chocolate factory in Dempsey
Chocolate fans will lick up a new chocolate factory concept that will start later this year in Dempsey.
Launched by homegrown company Mr Bucket Chocolaterie, it will feature Singapore's first build-your-own chocolate bar section with distinctive Asian flavours.
4. Bringing Avatar to Gardens by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay's Cloud Forest will be transformed into Pandora, the fictional universe in popular science fiction film Avatar which came out in 2009.
The new experience, called Avatar: The Experience, will be brought in later this year. It is a collaboration between Cityneon Holdings, Disney Location-Based Experiences, film director James Cameron and Jon Landau's Lightstorm Entertainment.
The Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay, with its iconic waterfalls, spiralling walkways and architectural glass greenhouse is the perfect location for the new experience, said Mr Ron Tan, Cityneon's group chief executive and executive chairman.
Described as an "immersive walk-through event", Avatar: The Experience will feature key elements such as Pandora's magical floating islands.
The experience is also meant to coincide with the worldwide release of movie sequel, Avatar 2, which is slated to be released in December this year.

A Ludington man pleaded no contest to a felony assault charge and criminal sexual conduct third degree in 51st Circuit Court before Judge Susan Sniegowski Tuesday afternoon.
Paul Edward Bliss pleaded no contest to a charge of assault to do great bodily harm less than murder and a charge of criminal sexual conduct third degree (force or coercion). Bliss’s attorney, Al Swanson, said the reason for pleading no contest was because of civil liability.
Sniegowski used the testimony from the preliminary exam that took place in February 2020 — just prior to the shutdowns for COVID-19 — as the basis for accepting the pleas of no contest.
At sentencing, a count of criminal sexual conduct first degree, a count of unlawful imprisonment and a count of criminal sexual conduct — assault with intent to commit penetration all will be dismissed.
The initial incident took place on Aug. 18, 2018, when Bliss met the victim on Stearns Beach, and he went to her residence where he then committed the acts, Sniegowski said in recapping the preliminary exam testimony.
Bliss also pleaded no contest to habitual offender, second offense notice.
He will be sentenced on May 24.

Man scheduled to be executed 44 years after raping, killing college student
PHOENIX (KTVK/KPHO/Gray News) - A man convicted 20 years ago of murdering an Arizona State University student is scheduled to be executed on May 10.
Arizona’s Family reports Clarence Dixon was sentenced to death in the 1977 killing of ASU student Deana Bowdoin in 2002 after that case went cold.
According to authorities, on Jan. 7, 1978, Bowdoin, a 21-year-old ASU student, was raped, strangled, and stabbed to death in her Tempe apartment.
A Tempe detective reopened the case using DNA profiling. Detectives said they were able to pinpoint Dixon as the suspect, who was already serving a life sentence for a 1986 sexual assault conviction.
In 2002, Dixon was indicted for Bowdoin’s murder, and a jury found him guilty and sentenced him to death.
According to officials, Dixon has 20 days to decide on being injected with a lethal drug or executed in a gas chamber. If he doesn’t choose, the lethal injection will serve as the default method of execution.
Dixon will be the first execution in Arizona since 2014 when Joseph Rudolph Wood III was executed at Florence State Prison. Wood was convicted of shooting his estranged girlfriend and her father in 1989.
“I promised Arizona voters that people who commit the ultimate crime get the ultimate punishment,” wrote Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich in a statement. “I will continue to fight every day for justice for victims, their families, and our communities.”
One of Dixon’s attorneys, Jennifer Moreno, released the following statement on her client’s planned execution:
“The state has had nearly a year to demonstrate that it will not be carrying out executions with expired drugs but has failed to do so.” Under these circumstances, the execution of Mr. Dixon — a severely mentally ill, visually disabled, and physically frail member of the Navajo Nation — is unconscionable.”

This follows the director general of health's surprise resignation that was announced earlier today, with his last day at the end of July.
The ministry is also having farewells this week for director of public health Dr Caroline McElnay, and public health deputy director Dr Niki Stefanogiannis.
Burnout is thought to have played a major role in their decisions to leave, and it's a factor that is being felt across the whole health sector, along with Covid-fatigue.
Uncertainty about upcoming health sector reforms may also have been a factor, with the ministry being moved into a strategy and monitoring role while Health NZ will run the health system.
The departures of Bloomfield, McElnay, and Stefanogiannis raise questions about what impact their vacancies will have in a pandemic that shows no sign of ending, with possible resurgences in cases in coming months, including over winter, and new variants inevitably arriving here.
Bloomfield has already said, however, that he is confident in the systems and processes in place to respond to the pandemic after he leaves.
McElnay, whose last day is tomorrow and whose resignation was announced to ministry staff in February, has regularly fronted press conferences throughout the pandemic, usually when Bloomfield has been away.
She is expected to announce her leaving while fronting the 1pm Covid-19 press conference tomorrow.
McElnay plans to spend the next six months travelling, according to a ministry email obtained by the Herald and written by deputy director general of population health Deborah Woodley.
"After five years in the role of director of public health – and five years of commuting from her Napier home – Caroline has decided the time is now right for her to explore new opportunities and, initially, a wonderful six months of travel with her husband," Woodley said.
"Along with many others in the health sector she has worked tirelessly, sacrificing many nights, weekends and weeks away from family to ensure that throughout our response, there has been strong, clear public health advice which has kept us all safe."
Woodley thanked McElnay for her "incredibly hard work", her "selfless, mature" leadership, and "her ability to remain calm and composed whilst under enormous pressure".
"Caroline is highly respected by her team, her colleagues – both within the Ministry and the broader sector, and by ministers. She has worked hard to ensure a collaborative effort across the public health system and in particular, she has supported our public health units to achieve new ways of working at a systems level."
The country's 12 public health units had no way of sharing details with each other at the start of the pandemic unless officials made phone calls to each other. A national system was set up quickly so critical details could be more easily shared, as well as the workload.
Stefanogiannis' last day is on Friday.
"Niki has decided it's time for a break and to spend some time with her family. We will miss her greatly," said a ministry email in February, obtained by the Herald, and written by McElnay.
"She has been a tower of strength to me personally and to the rest of the ODPH (public health team). She has dedicated herself to providing the very best public health advice on a wide range of topics over her time at the ministry but I would like to thank her especially for her hard work on the Covid response and for her support to our team and colleagues across the sector.
"It has been an incredibly busy two years and Niki is one of the heroes of our Covid response."
Earlier today Bloomfield said he had received positive feedback from the public, and while there were some vitriolic responses, much worse had been directed at female colleagues - though he didn't name anyone.
"I think that is terrible, and it's something we need to do something about."
He said he had been thinking about the right time to leave, but he still had "very mixed feelings because I work with amazing people".

New CTC summer courses offered for junior high students in Cape Girardeau
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - The Cape Central School District is looking to get junior high school students to look more towards their career.
The Career and Technology Center is now offering courses for the junior high students in what would be a pilot program for this summer.
This would give students an opportunity to engage more in digital media, construction trade, computer bit-by-bit and coding.
CTC Assistant Director Brock Crowley says this is offering pathways and presenting opportunities to students to be successful in life.
“Our goal is to get into the middle school, junior high levels, start offering some of those skills and things like that, that can ultimately be lifelong skill sets that they can utilize from now on,” Crowley said.
Crowley said it’s also an opportunity to gain skills even if that’s not the particular field you want to go into.
“So at the junior high or high school level, come and see us, learn a skill,” Crowley said. “Learn construction, learn about coding and programming, learn about auto mechanics, so even if that’s not the career path that they choose, it does open up some other opportunities, some life skills that they can use no matter what they do.”
We talked with Junior High School Principal Garett Cook who says it’s an exciting opportunity to be able to partner with CTC in offering more options for students in the summer months.
“When I came here a couple years ago, summer school was more about making up credits and getting kids here that didn’t quite do what they should have done during the school year,” Cook said. “So we wanted to make it more student friendly and being able to offer career and technology classes and offer pathways that our kids might not think about at much earlier ages with current sixth and seventh grade students that will transition to the junior high after the summer is over was a great opportunity for us,” Cook said.
Cook said the school staff there exists so they can help students make choices that lead to a better life.
“So if we can put them in situations where they can actually apply themselves and do some practical work that leads to them showing interest in something and then they take a career path that’s going to lead to a better life for them, that is ultimately our goal,” Cook said.
The summer courses will begin in June later this year.
“So we just want to make sure that these students have the opportunity to learn about what we offer and that they are given the opportunity to participate in some of those things,” Crowley said. “Then if they find that it’s the career path for them, then awesome, we’ve done our job. If they’ve decided that it’s not, then we’ve still given them a life skill that they can take and use from now on.”

TOKYO (AP) — A #MeToo crisis is raging in the Japanese film industry.
A petition signed by top names, including Cannes’ Palme d’Or-winning Hirokazu Kore-eda, Cannes Jury Prize winner Koji Fukada and “Under the Sky” director Miwa Nishikawa, expresses outrage over sexual abuse.
“These acts are unforgivable,” the statement said, calling for such acts to stop.
The outburst comes after the premiere of two films directed by Hideo Sakaki, “Mitsugetsu” and “Hazard Lamp,” was suddenly canceled after a Japanese magazine, Shukan Bunshun, reported allegations of sexual violence from several women.
His production company denounced sexual abuse and announced Sakaki had departed. Sakaki has apologized in a statement to fans and co-workers for the cancellations, while noting inaccuracies in the report, which he didn't specify.
Actor Houka Kinoshita has paused his career after two women accused him of demanding sex against their will a decade ago. A TV drama series aired earlier this week with all his scenes cut.
“I cannot appear before you and continue with my entertainment work after what I have done, and I will be taking a leave for an indefinite period,” Kinoshita said in a statement.
Allegations have been made, too, against Shion Sono, a director who's been honored at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Sono, who directed “Himizu” and “Cold Fish,” apologized but stopped short of acknowledging guilt, and instead vowed to take “some kind of action” against Shukan Josei, the magazine that reported allegations he had sexually abused several women.
“I would like to reexamine my ways, taking to heart the lack of awareness I have shown as a director, and for those working around me,” Sono said in a statement this week through his office.
“But there are many assertions in the report that go contrary to the facts.”
It may not be shocking that #MeToo is rampant in a nation ranking at No. 120 in gender equality, far behind other Group of Seven industrialized nations, according to a study by the World Economic Forum.
Still, the timing, coming when “Drive My Car,” directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi, just won its first Oscar for Japan in 13 years, couldn’t be more tragic.
The directors signing the petition and others say the problem is a longtime, open secret in the filmmaking world. What’s changing is that victims are speaking up, rather than suffering in silence.
When movie jobs are so competitive to start with, including assistant directing, editing, costuming, translating, producing, not just acting, the problem runs deep.
The statement by Kore-eda and other directors decrying sexual assaults stressed films cannot be made alone and required a team.
That means empowered people must respect everyone as partners, the directors said.
“We directors, regardless of individual abilities or personalities, especially, must unfailingly realize that our position of directing other people inherently carries with it a deep violence, and there lies that potential making it too easy for us to victimize others because of our overwhelming power,” they said.

Adelaide ruck Montana McKinnon will miss the AFLW grand final through suspension, with the Crows opting not to challenge the tribunal's decision to uphold her one-match ban for rough conduct.
McKinnon was in tears on Tuesday night after the Crows failed to convince the tribunal her rough conduct charge, for a high, late bump on Fremantle star Kiara Bowers should be graded low impact instead of medium, which would have drawn a lesser penalty.
In a heartbreaking situation for the 20-year-old, Adelaide were also unable to convince the tribunal the exceptional circumstances of a grand final, which would have been McKinnon's first, and her good record should reduce the penalty.
The Crows pondered , and while adamant the bump didn't warrant missing a grand final, decided not to appeal the tribunal's decision due to there being no fresh grounds to contest the outcome.
"We are extremely disappointed that Montana won't be playing this weekend," Crows AFLW boss Phil Harper said.
"From not playing a game last year to now being a key member of our side, she has improved markedly and been a significant contributor throughout what has been a fantastic season.
"As a club, we did our very best to try and have the match review's rough conduct finding downgraded.
"Despite our challenge being unsuccessful, we maintain that incident does not warrant a young player missing a grand final."

Kean Bryan is making good progress in his recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury which wrecked his first season at West Bromwich Albion - and he is on track to return in the summer for pre-season.
Bryan was brought into the club last autumn as a short-term replacement for injured Dara O’Shea, but he himself suffered a serious set-back in his first start in an Albion shirt, back in November when Albion edged out Hull City at The Hawthorns. In total, Bryan has played just 49 minutes of football for Albion spanning three appearances.
While Albion have been able to deal with his absence because of the quantity of centre halves at their disposal, and they have since welcomed O’Shea back into the fold, Bryan - who is something of a forgotten man at The Hawthorns - is working hard to ensure that he secures a full return to fitness after his rehabilitation, hopefully in time for the new campaign.
READ: The Albion player ratings on an abysmal day at St Andrew's
READ: Two minutes at Blues which summed up Albion's season
“That’s a hard thing to deal with, especially when you’re a new player at a club and you do your ACL,” Bruce pointed out. “I spoke to him the other day - his knee resembles a knee again, which three months ago it didn’t. He’s working extremely hard. It’s a big summer for him, too. He’s on track.
“I think it’s a crucial time, pre-season. Every club have had a struggle with it, because of the pandemic.”
Another player who Albion won’t be seeing again this term is striker Kenneth Zohore. In truth, the Dane has endured a pretty miserable campaign after being bombed out by Valerien Ismael - who was not the first Albion manager to do so during his underwhelming three years at the club.
Zohore, who signed for £8m from Cardiff City in the summer of 2019 has done extremely little in the time that has elapsed since to suggest he was worth anywhere near what Albion valued him at the time. He has spent most of this season playing for the club’s under 23s, and when he returns in the summer he’ll be heading into the final year of his contract.
Bruce wanted to take a look at him upon arrival, in the hope that he could be the man to spark something in Zohore, that he might be able to rediscover form that once helped the Bluebirds to promotion to the top flight - instead, the centre forward suffered a set-back on the training pitch immediately after returning.
“It was a bad couple of days for us, because unfortunately he broke down,” Bruce added. “It’s a reset for him, as well. He got a thigh injury, a muscle injury, and he’d been six weeks out. He got re-injured. It was horrible. He’d only trained for 20 minutes and then he broke down again. It’s a reset for him. I would think that’s his season.”

France Votes As Tight Le Pen-Macron Duel Looms
Muhammad Irfan Published April 06, 2022 | 08:50 AM
Paris, April 6 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Apr, 2022 ) :France votes Sunday in the first round of presidential elections at which Emmanuel Macron is bidding for a second term in the face of a strengthening challenge from resurgent far-right leader Marine Le Pen.
In an election whose outcome is crucial for the future direction of France and also Europe, the first round will determine which two candidates go through to the run-off on April 24.
Polls project that the final two will be Macron and Le Pen, in a repeat of their duel from 2017 that saw the centrist become France's youngest-ever head of state.
With the traditional Socialist and right-wing parties that dominated French politics for last decades facing near electoral oblivion, far-left politician Jean-Luc Melenchon is projected to come third, though he believes he could still reach the second round.
But while Macron handily trounced Le Pen five years ago, the veteran anti-immigration campaigner has sought to rebrand herself with a softer image and has closed the gap with the president in recent opinion polls.
Macron entered the campaign at the last minute, saying he had been focusing on ending Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while Le Pen has crossed the country seeking to strike a chord with the French on issues of daily concern.
The president addressed his first major campaign event only on Saturday, a rock concert-style rally where he entered like a prize fighter but warned that defeat to Le Pen was possible.
"Look at what happened with Brexit, and so many other elections: what looked improbable actually happened," Macron said, alluding not least to Donald Trump's defeat of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US elections.
Macron received a poll boost in the immediate aftermath of President Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine, but in the last weeks Le Pen has been eating away at what once looked an unassailable lead.
A survey published Monday by Harris Interactive showed Macron's second-round lead at its narrowest yet, at 51.5 percent against Le Pen's 48.5 percent.
"What people said was the automatic re-election of Emmanuel Macron turned out to be fake news," Le Pen said on Friday.
"It is perfectly possible to defeat Emmanuel Macron and radically change the politics of this country," she added.
Other polls have credited Macron with a slightly wider margin but still too close for comfort. An Ifop-Fiducial poll, also published Monday, showed Macron at 53 percent against 47 percent for Le Pen.
Marine Le Pen has seen a "strong dynamic at the end of the campaign... The second round promises to be much tighter than 2017" when Macron won with over 66 percent of the vote, said Jean-Daniel Levy, director at Harris Interactive.
The stakes are huge, with Macron vowing further reforms of France if he wins a new term, and set to retain his status as Europe's number one figure after the departure of former German chancellor Angela Merkel.
A Le Pen presidency would likely see a tougher stance from France on immigration and integration, and raise questions over whether Paris can retain its global diplomatic clout in a world shadowed by Russian aggression.
She has sought to detoxify her party from the heritage of its founder and her father Jean-Marie Le Pen, not least by renaming it the National Rally (RN) instead of the National Front (FN), but Macron and his allies insist it has not changed.
"It's not a rally, it's a clan," Macron said in an interview with regional newspapers published on Monday.
While Social Democrat Olaf Scholz has succeeded Merkel, the right has been surging elsewhere in Europe with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Putin's closest ally within the EU, securing a new term in elections at the weekend.
Should he win, Macron would be the first French president since Jacques Chirac in 2002 to win a second term after the presidencies of right-winger Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist Francois Hollande ended in one-term disappointments.
Polls project Macron winning the first round with a score in the high twenties, followed by Le Pen and then Melenchon.
The far left-leader of the France Unbowed (LFI) party, Melenchon is banking on a late surge fuelled by an unusual meeting late Tuesday where he appeared as a hologram simultaneously in 12 cities across the country from a live rally in the central city of Lille.
"Macron against Le Pen -- it's not going to happen," he insisted Tuesday, saying he could even sneak into the second round at the expense of Macron. "Look at the (poll) curves," he told Sud Radio.
Elsewhere on the left, the Greens and Communist candidates failed to make an impact while Socialist candidate Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, is projected to struggle to reach even two percent.
Valerie Pecresse, the candidate of the main rightwing party The Republicans, the political home of former presidents including Chirac and Sarkozy, also appears out of contention after a campaign that never found momentum.
Sarkozy, who retains influence on the right despite criminal convictions in graft scandals, has not even bothered to endorse Pecresse, a major setback for the Paris region chief.
Extreme-right pundit Eric Zemmour made a sensational entry into the campaign last year but has gradually lost ground, with analysts saying he has in fact aided Le Pen by making her appear more moderate.

ARNSTADT, Germany, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 4, Contemporary Amperex Technology Thuringia GmbH (CATT), CATL's first plant outside of China, received the 2nd partial approval for the commissioning of a new plant for battery cell production from the state of Thuringia, Germany, marking a significant milestone for CATL's global footprint expansion despite the pandemic.
At the ceremony held in CATT at the Erfurter Kreuz industrial area, Anja Siegesmund, Thuringia's Minister of Environment, Energy and Nature Conservation, and Wolfgang Tiefensee, Thuringia's Minister of Economy, handed over the permit to Matthias Zentgraf, CATL's President for Europe, allowing an initial capacity of 8 GWh per year for the plant.
The construction of the plant, which is also Germany's first battery factory, is in the final stage and the installation of machines is in full swing so that the first cells can roll off the assembly lines by the end of 2022.
"CATT provides a fundamental impetus for the urgently needed energy transition, and we are glad to be the first company to receive approval to manufacture batteries 'Made in Germany'," said Zentgraf, adding that the cooperation with the authorities during the approval process worked in an exemplary manner.
E-mobility in Germany is currently gaining immense momentum, and the state needs companies that are committed to taking sustainability and conservation into account right from the production stage, said Siegesmund.
"For Thuringia, CATT is one of the most important industrial investments in recent decades," said Tiefensee. "At the same time, the project could be the initial spark for the emergence of a 'Battery Valley Thuringia,' as the first batch of CATL's supplier companies have settled around the area."
CATT consists of two buildings: G1, an existing building purchased from another company and where cells are assembled to modules, and G2, a newly-built plant by CATT and where cells will be produced. The approval on Monday was issued to permit cell production of G2.
With clean rooms, technical cleanliness and constant humidity, the plant is almost as complex as a chip factory. Meanwhile, the plant generates part of its power from the solar power panels on the rooftop of the building in an effort to produce sustainably.
With a total investment of 1.8 billion euro, CATL plans to achieve a production capacity of 14GWh and create 2,000 jobs in Germany in the future.
Located at the heart of Germany, the plant is poised to provide high-quality products and services for major carmakers in Germany, thus promoting the electric mobility and energy transformation in Europe.

Twitter says it’s testing an ‘edit’ button
(AP) - Twitter tweeted Tuesday that it is indeed working on a way for users to edit their 280-character messages, although it says the project has nothing to do with the fact that edit-function fan Elon Musk was just revealed as the company’s largest shareholder and now sits on its board.
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 ever do. Twitter spokesperson Catherine Hill declined to say whether an edit feature might be rolled out for all users.
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.” The official Twitter account said Tuesday that the April 1 tweet wasn’t a joke and that it has been working on it since last year.
Twitter also said it didn’t get the idea from a Twitter poll launched by Tesla CEO Musk Monday evening. Musk, himself a Twitter power user, asked followers 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!”
Twitter’s vice president of consumer product, Jay Sullivan, tweeted Tuesday that an edit function has for years been Twitter’s most requested new feature, noting that 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 noted that Twitter’s current setup keeps the spirit of its 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 heavily circulated by others. Dorsey stepped down as CEO in November 2021.
People who study Twitter also say adding an edit button would likely 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 when 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 of his polls that asked whether Twitter adheres to free speech principles.

Pope Francis has appointed Father Earl K. Fernandes to be the next bishop of the Diocese of Columbus, Ohio. He is a pastor in Cincinnati and a former staff member of the apostolic nunciature in Washington.
He replaces Bishop Robert J Brennan, who was named as the bishop of Diocese of Brooklyn, New York, last September.
Brennan officially took over his duties on 30 November.
"Recognising my own unworthiness, I accepted, with fear and trepidation but also with joy, the appointment by Pope Francis to serve as the 13th bishop of the Diocese of Columbus," Bishop-designate Fernandes said in a statement on 2 April, as reported by America, a weekly Christian magazine published by the Jesuits of the US.
At the age of 49, Bishop-designate Fernandes will be one of the youngest US Catholic bishops, who was ordained as a priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati on 18 May 2002.
He also served at the nunciature between 2016 and 2019.
Bishop-designate Fernandes be the 13th bishop of Columbus and his episcopal ordination and installation will happen on 31 May at St Joseph Cathedral in Columbus, the America report added.
"We will miss his incredible intellect, unflagging energy and concern for all people, but know that these traits will serve him well as he expands his ministry to shepherd the faithful people of Columbus," Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr stated in reaction to Fernandes's appointment.

BUCHA, Kyiv Oblast — Police and other investigators walked the silent streets of ruined towns around Ukraine's capital, documenting widespread killings of unarmed civilians and other alleged war crimes by Russian forces that could draw tough new Western sanctions as soon as Wednesday.
While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy kept up demands for war-crimes trials for Russian troops and their leaders, he and others increasingly warn that the Russians are regrouping for a new assault on Ukraine's east and south.
So far, Ukrainian forces are holding back Russian troops trying to push into the country's east, but they remain outnumbered in both troops and equipment, Zelenskyy said in a video address to his country late Tuesday.
“But we don’t have a choice — the fate of our land and of our people is being decided," he said. "We know what we are fighting for. And we will do everything to win.”
Over the past few days, a global outcry erupted over grisly images of what appeared to be intentional killings of civilians in Bucha and other towns before Russian forces withdrew from the outskirts of Kyiv. The evidence has led Western nations to expel scores of Moscow’s diplomats and propose further sanctions.
The U.S., in coordination with the European Union and Group of Seven big economies, is expected to roll out more sanctions Wednesday, including a ban on all new investment in Russia, a senior administration official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the upcoming announcement.
Also, the EU’s executive branch proposed a ban on coal imports from Russia. It would be the first time the 27-nation bloc has sanctioned the country’s lucrative energy industry over the war. The coal imports amount to an estimated 4 billion euros ($4.4 billion) per year.
Zelenskyy spoke by video Tuesday to the U.N. Security Council about the suspected executions in the 6-week-old invasion that has seen countless other civilians killed by Russian shelling and airstrikes on cities and towns.
He said civilians in towns around Kyiv had been tortured, shot in the back of the head, thrown down wells, blown up with grenades in their apartments and crushed to death by tanks while in cars.
Zelenskyy said that both those who carried out the killings and those who gave the orders “must be brought to justice immediately for war crimes” in front of a tribunal similar to the one established at Nuremberg after World War II.
Moscow's U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, said that while Bucha was under Russian control, “not a single local person has suffered from any violent action.” Reiterating what the Kremlin has contended for days, he said that video footage of bodies in the streets was “a crude forgery” staged by the Ukrainians.
“You only saw what they showed you,” he said. “The only ones who would fall for this are Western dilettantes.”
As Zelenskyy spoke to the diplomats, survivors of the monthlong Russian occupation showed investigators bodies of townspeople allegedly shot by Russian troops.
Police and other investigators walked the still largely empty streets of Bucha, where dogs wandered among ruined buildings and burned military vehicles. Officials snapped photos of the corpses before gathering up some of them.
Survivors who hid in their homes during the occupation, many of them beyond middle age, wandered past charred tanks and jagged window panes with plastic bags of food and other humanitarian aid. Red Cross workers checked in on intact homes.
Associated Press journalists in Bucha have counted dozens of corpses in civilian clothes and interviewed Ukrainians who told of witnessing atrocities. Also, high-resolution satellite imagery from Maxar Technologies showed that many of the bodies had been lying in the open for weeks, during the time that Russian forces were in the town.
The dead in Bucha included a pile of six charred bodies, as witnessed by AP journalists. It was not clear who they were or under what circumstances they died. One body was probably that of a child, said Andrii Nebytov, head of police in the Kyiv region.
Many of the dead seen by AP journalists appeared to have been shot at close range, and some had their hands bound or their flesh burned.
The AP and the PBS series “Frontline” have jointly verified at least 90 incidents during the war that appear to violate international law. The War Crimes Watch Ukraine project is looking into apparent targeted attacks as well as indiscriminate ones.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the images from Bucha revealed “not the random act of a rogue unit” but “a deliberate campaign to kill, to torture, to rape, to commit atrocities.” He said the reports of atrocities were “more than credible.”
“Only non-humans are capable of this,” said Angelica Chernomor, a refugee from Kyiv who crossed into Poland with her two children and saw the photos from Bucha. “Even if people live under a totalitarian regime, they must retain feelings, dignity, but they do not.”
Chernomor is among the more than 4 million Ukrainians who have fled the country in the wake of the Feb. 24 invasion.
Russia has rejected similar accusations of atrocities in the past by accusing its enemies of forging photos and video and using so-called crisis actors.
The chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court at The Hague opened an investigation a month ago into possible war crimes in Ukraine.
Elsewhere in Ukraine, in Borodyanka, northwest of Kyiv, a 25-year-old, Dmitriy Yevtushkov, searched the rubble of apartment buildings and found that only a photo album remained from his family’s home.
In the besieged southern city of Mykolaiv, a passerby stopped briefly to look at the bright blossoms of a shattered flower stand lying among bloodstains, the legacy of a Russian shell that killed nine in the center of the city earlier this week. The onlooker sketched out the sign of the cross in the air, and moved on.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, meanwhile, warned that in pulling back from the capital, Russian President Vladimir Putin's military is regrouping its forces in order to deploy them to eastern and southern Ukraine for a “crucial phase of the war." Russia's stated goal currently is control of the Donbas, the largely Russian-speaking industrial region in the east that includes the shattered port city of Mariupol.
“Moscow is not giving up its ambitions in Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said.
While both Ukrainian and Russian representatives sent optimistic signals following their latest round of talks a week ago, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow will not accept a Ukrainian demand that a prospective peace deal include an immediate pullout of troops followed by a Ukrainian referendum on the agreement.
Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations, Yuras Karmanau in Lviv, Ukraine, and Associated Press journalists around the world contributed to this report.

For a while, subcompact crossovers were purely mass-market offerings catering to buyers in search of a high-riding daily driver on a budget. Slowly, though, more upscale offerings have entered the segment—the latest being the 2022 Peugeot 2008.
Priced at P1,550,000, the French carmaker is introducing its modest-sized runabout to take on the likes of the Mazda CX-3. To build a following in the local market, Peugeot Philippines is pushing its latest product as a package centered around technology and refinement.

At the heart of this crossover is a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with an output of 130hp and 230Nm of torque, with shifting handled by a six-speed automatic transmission.
On the outside, a lot of work has been put into making the 2008 stand out. Despite the size of the crossover, it conveys an SUV-like vibe thanks to rugged styling cues. Among these are bold character lines scatter throughout the exterior, a massive front grille featuring an intricate design, prominent shoulders, 17-inch wheels, and aggressive headlights.
The interior of the vehicle, meanwhile, is built mostly with the driver in mind. Drivers are faced with an intuitive head-up display that allows viewing of pertinent vehicle information without taking eyes off the road. The seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system leans towards the driver’s seat, too. The steering wheel is very compact as well.

And finally, safety has been made a priority here. Units come equipped with a variety of advanced driver aids like lane keep assist, driver attention assist, blind-spot monitoring, and an active safety brake. Front and rear parking sensors and a rear camera come standard as well.
You can get your 2008 in four colors: Amazonite Grey, Pearl White, Nera Black, and Fusion Orange. And if you’re interested in the vehicle, be sure to drop by this year’s Manila International Auto Show, as Peugeot Philippines will be offering visitors test drives during the event.

Cafe Olli is a lot of restaurants.
By day, it’s a casual counter-service spot, with your pick of pastries, sandwiches and square Roman-style “pizza alla pala” by the slice. There’s also soup, two different kinds of fancy cheese on toast (whipped ricotta with bee pollen and citrus marmalade or stracciatella with Calabrian chile honey), and made-to-order breakfast options, all in a bright space with big windows facing both Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Failing Street.
At night, the room darkens. There’s wait staff on the floor, and the cooks get busy with the wood-fired oven, which remains from the space’s previous occupant, Ned Ludd (though it is not the only cooking implement). The pizzas are now whole and round, and the menu includes snacks like beef tartare and marinated olives, salads, roasted veggies, a single pasta, three mains and desserts (get there early or eat fast to guarantee yourself a slice of classic chocolate fudge cake).
With its eclectic simplicity, Cafe Olli has a decided “this is what a restaurant needs to be after a pandemic” feel. Its five founding partners all previously worked for Submarine Hospitality (Ava Gene’s, Tusk). They own 50% of the restaurant, while the other 50% is in an employee-owned trust. That means half of quarterly profits go to employees based on hours worked and seniority.
There is also no tipping here since Cafe Olli charges a 20% service fee to pay all staff higher wages and provide health care as well as paid time off. Socially minded practices extend to the menu, which includes a sliding scale ($0-$14) community meal—savory farro porridge during the day and a meatball entree at dinner—available, as it describes, to “those who are experiencing food insecurity or financial hardship. No questions asked.”
But Cafe Olli also has familiar pre-pandemic elements: It is, of course, “seasonally focused” and “locally sourced,” with Pablo Munoz Farms produce and Laney Family Farms beef. There’s also a commitment to making as many things as possible in-house, including pasta, breads and roast meats for sandwiches. Both the menu and the space also bring to the mind the brunchy, crunchy vibe of all-day L.A. stalwarts Sqirl and Gjusta.
For breakfast, a frittata of the day ($8) changes with whatever seasonal veggies are on hand—during a recent visit, that was potato, leek, spring onion and green garlic. It came with a swipe of mayo and a side of hearty dressed greens.
If you’d prefer a sandwich instead, Cafe Olli allows you to order your frittata nestled inside a seeded ciabatta roll served with cheddar, greens, mayo, and a fermented jalapeño and serrano hot sauce ($10).
A big green schmear of hot sauce with cheddar and mayo is also on the sausage sandwich ($10), which can be ordered with or without fried egg. Its smallish crusty “breakfast roll” looked unlikely to contain its layers, but, in fact, the roll is both chewy and compressible, and all the elements held together without needing the supplied knife.
If it’s Saturday or Sunday, the star pastry attraction is bombolini ($6), a gigantic, crunchy sugarcoated Italian doughnut that walks the “is it dessert or is it breakfast?” line, especially when the filling is a salted chocolate custard. Other recent options have been passion fruit curd and cheesecake mousse. There’s also an old-fashioned doughnut ($5), with vanilla bean buttermilk glaze, as well as good old coffee cake in loaf form ($3 a slice).
The dinner menu has a choose-your-own-adventure feel, suitable for someone looking for a quick meal of pizza and salad at the counter with its full view of the oven, or a customer looking for a full trip through the menu. On a recent night, a plate of deeply flavored roasted Brussels sprouts ($10) stole the show. In fact, its char, sweetness and acidity also made the next plate, beef tartare with potato chips, horseradish and Meyer lemon ($14), seem bland.
If you have to choose your carb, go pizza over pasta. Current options include a four-cheese (no tomato) with kale raab and agrodolce onions ($26) and an Italian sausage with pepperoncini and Calabrian chile ($25), which you can also gild with Calabrian hot honey ($3). But it’s the minimalist pomodoro ($20)—nothing but tomato sauce, thinly sliced garlic, oregano and olive oil—that really shows off the naturally leavened, fire-kissed crust.
Except you are also going to want to “spoil” the purity of this pizza by adding stracciatella ($3). And oh boy, will you feel spoiled. Hand-stretched from curd provided by Cowbell Creamery, the milky fattiness of the fresh cheese is simultaneously decadent and simple. Which also sums up Cafe Olli.
EAT: Cafe Olli, 3925 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., 503-206-8604, cafeolli.com. 9 am-2 pm Tuesday, 9 am-9 pm Wednesday-Sunday.

Hrithik Roshan-Saba Azad partied with Sussanne Khan-Arslan Goni under one roof in Goa
By ANI | Published: April 6, 2022 10:25 AM2022-04-06T10:25:18+5:302022-04-06T10:35:02+5:30
Rumoured couples Hrithik Roshan-Saba Azad and Sussanne Khan-Arslan Goni have partied together in Goa a few days ago.
Rumoured couples Hrithik Roshan-Saba Azad and Sussanne Khan-Arslan Goni have partied together in Goa a few days ago.
Several pictures have been doing the rounds on social media in which Hrithik and Sussanne can be seen having a gala time with their new partners Saba and Arslan respectively.
Actor Pooja Bedi shared pictures from the get-together, which also saw Sussanne's siblings Farah Khan Ali and Zayed Khan in attendance, along with director Abhishek Kapoor.
Hrithik was seen dressed in a black T-shirt while Saba looked radiant in a beautiful pink outfit. Sussanne donned a black dress and Arslan opted for a beachy shirt.
However, there weren't any pictures of Hrithik and Sussanne together.
Hrithik and Sussanne, who were childhood sweethearts, got married in 2000. They announced their separation in 2013 and got divorced a year later. In 2021, Sussanne temporarily moved in with Hrithik, so that they could co-parent their children during COVID-19 lockdown.
Rumours of Hrithik dating actor and singer Saba sparked a few months ago when they were spotted at a Mumbai restaurant, hand-in-hand. On the other hand, Sussanne's rumoured relationship with Arslan has been speculated for a little while longer. Arslan, also an actor, is Aly Goni's cousin.

Google Cloud and founding members form initiative to eliminate data lock-in and ensure access to data across leading storage, analytics, and database providers
SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Google Cloud and many of the fastest-growing data, analytics, storage, and database providers in the tech industry today announced they are forming a new initiative to ensure that global businesses have more seamless access and insights into the data required for digital transformation. As founding members of the Data Cloud Alliance, Google Cloud, Accenture, Confluent, Databricks, Dataiku, Deloitte, Elastic, Fivetran, MongoDB, Neo4j, Redis, and Starburst are committing to make data more portable and accessible across disparate business systems, platforms, and environments—with a goal of ensuring that access to data is never a barrier to digital transformation.
Businesses face growing pressures to digitally transform—to reach consumers in new ways, launch entirely new digital businesses, and to meet increasingly complex governance and compliance requirements. Data is essential to digital transformation. Every consumer interaction - searches, e-commerce transactions, online comments, clicks, upvotes, and much more - creates more data every minute. The proliferation of data, along with the many software and cloud-based applications used to analyze and manage it, means businesses increasingly need common digital data standards, and a commitment to open data, in order to effectively utilize data to digitally transform.
The Data Cloud Alliance is committed to accelerating adoption of data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning best practices across industries through common industry data models, open standards, and integrated processes. Members of the alliance will work together to help reduce customer challenges and complexity with data governance, data privacy, data loss prevention, and global compliance. For the betterment of customers' data clouds, the alliance will commit to solving skills gaps through skill development for practitioners in modern data and analytics technologies.
Data Cloud Alliance members will provide infrastructure, APIs, and integration support to ensure data portability and accessibility between multiple platforms and products across multiple environments—on-premises, in public or private cloud, or in a hybrid model; and each Alliance member will collaborate on new, common industry data models, processes, and platform integrations to increase data portability and reduce complexity associated with data governance and global compliance.
"Data is the common foundation for all digital transformations," said Gerrit Kazmaier, VP and GM of Databases, Data Analytics and Business Intelligence at Google Cloud. "By committing to open data standards, access, and integration between the most popular data platforms and applications today, we believe we can significantly accelerate business transformations and close the data to value gap."

The Chronicle
Leonard Ncube in Victoria Falls
PRESIDENT Mnangagwa is expected to officially open the extraordinary meeting of the Association of African Diamond Producing Countries (ADPA) and Council of Ministers in Victoria Falls tomorrow.
Zimbabwe, which is currently the ADPA deputy chair, is set to assume chairmanship from Tanzania during the meeting.
At the same time, the country is also the deputy chair of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) and will again this year take over chairmanship of the global diamond watchdog.
This is a laudable milestone Zimbabwe’s economic diplomacy thrust, coming at a time when the diamond industry, alongside other precious minerals, are expected to play a leading role in transforming the economy in line with the targeted US$12 billion earnings by 2023.
According to the event programme, President Mnangagwa will be the guest of honour while Vice-President Retired General, Dr Costantino Chiwenga is also expected to attend.
The country’s leadership will interact with distinguished delegates to the ADPA committee of experts and Council of Ministers, who are expected to start arriving today with preliminary meetings set for this afternoon.
Zimbabwe, which is a founding member of ADPA, is expecting to push through a strong agenda during its tenure as chair, including by formulating strategies to improve the African diamond industry.
“As the incoming ADPA chair in 2023, the Republic of Zimbabwe is expected to carry out the following mandate, among others: ensuring that African diamond producers present a united voice on the international diamond scene on matters, which affect them and promoting cooperation and information sharing amongst ADPA member countries,” the Ministry of Mines said ahead of the meeting.
Tomorrow’s official proceedings are set to begin in the morning when Matabeleland North Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Richard Moyo, and Mines and Mining Development Minister Winston Chitando, who is ADPA vice chair, would deliver their remarks before the President speaks.
Also scheduled for address is the DRC Minister of Mines Antoinette N’Samba and Tanzania Minister of Minerals Doto Biteko, who is outgoing ADPA chairperson.
After President Mnangagwa’s official opening session, there will be discussions and presentations by experts on various topics including the various policies involved in diamond mining.
The delegates will also take time to sample tourism activities in the resort city with a boat cruise and tour of the falls included in the programme. – @ncubeleon

Pelicans beat Kings 123-109, clinch play-in spot in West
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - CJ McCollum and Jaxson Hayes each scored 23 points and the New Orleans Pelicans clinched a spot in the Western Conference play-in tournament, beating the Sacramento Kings 123-109 on Tuesday night.
Brandon Ingram added 17 points, eight assists and seven rebounds for the Pelicans (35-44), who never trailed. New Orleans has won four of five and will finish ninth or 10th in the West and face San Antonio next week to open the play-in.
"It´s beautiful to see we´ve given ourselves an opportunity to have an extended season," said Pelicans rookie coach Willie Green, whose team overcame losing 12 of its first 13 games. "Nobody wants to go 1-12 or whatever we were. It made us tougher, it made us stronger. More importantly it made us more connected."
Hayes helped the Pelicans secure a spot in the play-in by matching his career high for scoring and rebounds (12). He shot 10 of 14 with a pair of 3-pointers.
"I was just trying to cut, get rebounds, crash the glass, and trying to bring energy to the team," Hayes said.
Damian Jones had 22 points for Sacramento. Davion Mitchell added 15 points and a season-high 17 assists.

The Kings, who were eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday for an NBA-record 16th consecutive season, trailed by three at halftime but couldn´t keep up when the Pelicans went on a shooting streak in the second half.
New Orleans led by three at halftime, then pulled away with seven 3s in the third quarter - one by five different players and two from Trey Murphy III.
Sacramento got within 105-99 in the fourth quarter before McCollum scored down low and Ingram followed with two free throws.
That helped the Pelicans inch closer to returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2017-18, when they were coached by Alvin Gentry - currently the Kings interim coach. New Orleans has stayed in the hunt this season despite being without star forward Zion Williamson, who hasn´t played since fracturing his right foot and undergoing surgery in the offseason.
New Orleans has a one-game lead over San Antonio for home-court advantage in the 9-10 game. The winner would then have to beat the loser of the matchup between Nos. 7 and 8 to make the postseason as the No. 8 seed.
"I know we started off bad but we all believe we´re a talented group of guys," Hayes said. "We´re excited to get to the play-in and try to show what we can do in the playoffs."
The Pelicans were also missing Jonas Valanciunas (right ankle soreness) against the Kings but it hardly mattered. New Orleans held a 44-36 rebounding advantage and outscored Sacramento in the paint 58-44.
"Every time we got close enough to try to make up ground we kind of shot ourselves in the foot," Gentry said. "The turnovers hurt us in real crucial situations, and then we missed some open shots and easy layups."
TIP-INS
Pelicans: New Orleans shot 9 of 15 on 3s in the second half. ... McCollum and Herbert Jones each had four steals.
Kings: Jones made six of his first seven shots and scored 15 points before halftime. ... De´Aaron Fox (wrist) and Domantas Sabonis (left knee) remain out.
UP NEXT
Pelicans: Travel to face the Trail Blazers on Thursday. New Orleans has won both games against Portland this season.
Kings: Play the Clippers in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Recognition for Kerala at Grammy through Manoj George
Being the first violinist from the country, especially from Kerala, to get recognised with the Grammy award, Manoj says the process as an “amazing experience”.
Published: 05th April 2022 06:10 AM | Last Updated: 05th April 2022 06:10 AM | A+A A-
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: For Thrissur native and prolific violinist Manoj George, his latest global music collaboration album, Divine Tides, was an initiative to explain the meaning of co-existence in the world in times of conflict. When the music album crafted by rock legend Stewart Copeland and Grammy-winner Ricky Kej won the best new age album award at the 64th Grammy Awards held in Las Vegas recently, it was a delight for the second time for Manoj who was the conductor, string arranger and violinist for a few songs in the album.
Manoj is elated to be a part of the music album with Ricky Kej. It is a journey down memory lane for him as he had aided as the conductor, violinist, string arranger and choral arranger for the album ‘Winds of Samsara’ of Ricky, which won the Grammy award for the best new age album in 2015.
Being the first violinist from the country, especially from Kerala, to get recognised with the Grammy award, Manoj says the process as an “amazing experience”. “I was in Kochi when the Grammy was announced and was shocked to hear it. I worked on two-three songs in the album which is a compilation of a total of nine tracks by various artists. I feel happy to receive the recognition, that too working with Ricky for the second time,” quips Manoj.
‘Divine Tides’, as mentioned by Ricky Kej on his YouTube channel, is a musical tribute to the “magnificence of the natural world and resilience of our species”. The album has nine songs and eight music videos that were shot across the world including the picturesque Himalayas. The album explores various sounds of nature, vocal melodies and various rhythms of ethnic and western musical instruments.
According to Manoj, in one of the music video songs, The Himalayas, he performed string arrangement and played violin, capturing the ethnicity of the country. “In that song, the makers including Ricky had tried to induce the Indian elements in the music -- may it be vocals or rhythms. All songs communicate various social and environmental issues. ‘Divine Tides’ focuses to spread positive energy among the audience across the globe. From the present climate change to the need for co-existence, the period is discussed through music by Ricky and veteran musician Stewart Copeland. I feel lucky to join the team,” says Manoj.
The global recognition for the music album that he has also been part of comes as a tool to spread the possibilities of independent music. With his life dedicated to music, Manoj says he wishes to devote the recognition to boosting independent musicians in the state.
“In our country, independent music and artists are less promoted. The Grammy recognition for a work I was part of is also a responsibility for me. I find many upcoming talented independent musicians who fail to get a space or recognition here. It is my suggestion to the authorities including the government as like presenting film awards, it would be very motivating and supportive if awards or appreciations are given for interdependent music also in our state. Still, film songs are ‘music’ for the majority of the audience here. The beauty of independent music must also be reached to them.

More than $21 million of taxpayer-funded grants pledged by Tasmania's Liberal Party ahead of the 2018 state election were allocated without accountability, openness or fairness, a report claims.
Tasmania's Integrity Commission examined how the grants were awarded and distributed by the party, which was returned to power at the poll and claimed a third-straight election win last year.
Two days before the March 2018 vote, the Liberals released a pre-election fiscal policy statement, referring to $21.4 million worth of regional grants.
Watch the latest news on Channel 7 or stream it for free on 7plus >>
"These regional grants were a series of individual financial election commitments," the report said.
"There is no complete list of these grants, or any public criteria."
The commission found most of the grants were announced by Liberal candidates directly to stakeholders at events hosted by the recipients.
"There was no process - competitive or otherwise - to determine whether the pledged funds were really needed, or whether they were a good use of public money," the report reads.
"After the election, the grants were given out as pledged, with no further assessment of the recipients' need for the funding, or whether the amount of money promised was appropriate."
The process lacked accountability, openness, fairness and criteria to ensure value for money, the report says, adding the grants were never further assessed by Tasmania's public service.
The grants ranged from $500,000 for the Kingborough District Cricket Club to $2000 for Scouts Australia.
A grant of $10,000 was provided to a council for a walking track upgrade, with a subsequent review of the project finding planning was limited and community consultation "ineffective".
"The public needs to have confidence that funding commitments made during elections are accountable and backed by policies," Integrity Commission Tasmania Chief Commissioner Greg Melick said.
"Without due process and policy, such grant promises may be, or perceived to be, for political outcomes only i.e. 'pork barrelling'."
The commission said there are checks and balances in Commonwealth grant processes that don't exist in Tasmania.
It has called on the state government to consider introducing stronger grants laws and more widespread compliance measures.
"It's important to note that like every political party, we take into account a range of views and representations when developing election policies," a government spokesman said.
"This includes getting out on the ground in local communities and hearing first-hand what they need for the future.
"As the report states, the commitments which were made were all clearly documented in the 2018/19 budget papers and approved by parliament."
State Greens leader Cassy O'Connor said there is a pressing need for a clean-up.
"The new premier must commit to tabling legislation to strengthen Tasmania's democracy as soon as possible," she said.
Tasmania will have a new premier following a Liberal Party vote on Friday, after Peter Gutwein announced on Monday he was quitting politics.
His predecessor Will Hodgman led the party in 2018.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Connor McDavid scored 31 seconds into overtime to extend his points streak to 14 games and the Edmonton Oilers rallied to beat the San Jose Sharks 2-1 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight win.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins tied it with a short-handed goal with 8:04 remaining in regulation before McDavid won it.
Mike Smith made a save early in overtime and sent the puck ahead for McDavid, who raced in on a breakaway and beat James Reimer for the winner. McDavid has 12 goals and 15 assists during his points streak.
The victory gave the Oilers a five-point lead over Vegas in the race for third place in the Pacific Division.
Smith made 31 saves for the Oilers.
Tomas Hertl scored a power-play goal in the first period but the Sharks were unable to hold onto the lead and lost their fourth straight. Reimer made 22 saves.
San Jose had a chance to add onto the lead with the power play midway through the third period. But the top unit failed to generate and then the second unit let the Oilers tie it when Nugent-Hopkins finished after pretty passes from Darnell Nurse and Zach Hyman set him up at the side of the net.
San Jose capitalized on a power play in the first period when Brent Burns set up Hertl for a one-timer from the circle. Hertl beat Smith for his 27th goal of the season.
SITTING OUT
The Oilers played without 50-goal scorer Leon Draisaitl, who sat out a day after he missed practice for what was called a “maintenance day.” Draisaitl took part in an optional skate Tuesday morning but wasn't able to play in the game.
Draisaitl reached the 50-goal mark for the second time in his career on Sunday in Anaheim. He has a 12-game points streak with 12 goals and 10 assists in that span. His absence ends his streak of 354 consecutive outings that started on Oct. 24, 2017.
YOUTH MOVEMENT
The Sharks played four rookies — forwards Jonah Gadjovich, Scott Reedy and Sasha Chmelevski, and defenseman Ryan Merkley — to give them 373 games played by rookies this season. That surpassed the 1992-93 and 2005-06 seasons for the second most in franchise history to the 491 games played by rookies in the 1991-92 expansion season.
KNOCKED OUT
Sharks forward John Leonard left the game early in the second period after blocking a shot with his foot and didn't return.
UP NEXT
Oilers: At Los Angeles on Thursday night.
Sharks: Host Calgary on Thursday night.

Britney Spears shares art from book she obtained in Mexico and slams her family ... who she says threw her away
Britney Spears on Tuesday took to Instagram to display pages of art from a book she obtained while in Mexico, and commented on her ongoing battle with her family.
'I found this art in a book in Mexico,' said the musical artist, 40, who displayed multiple images in the post. 'What do you THINK the story is about with this imagery???
'I mean forget the mystery of it … the sacredness of it … the PRIVACY of it in a book … LET’S RUIN IT and rip its heart out of a book expose it to no use and PUT YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT!!!'
The latest: Britney Spears, 40, on Tuesday took to Instagram to display pages of art from a book she obtained while in Mexico, and commented on her ongoing battle with her family. She was seen earlier this week in an Instagram shot from her Southern California home
Among the images the ...Baby One More Time singer showed her 40.2 million Instagram followers included the face of a roaring tiger with a woman's image embedded on top; a woman with red antlers sprouting out of her head with eyes peeping at her from the background; and a woman emerging out of a broken mirror.
Other pieces of art Spears posted included a blue man wearing a king's crown with a long white beard, with another face emerging from the bottom; two men in sombreros looking at one another with a horse cut in half separating them; and a group of men who appear to be focused on repairing a chair.
The ...Baby One More Time singer said of the artistic displays: 'I thought this was pretty cool!!! I wanted to try and make people THINK … you know I have to say when there’s something of interest the mind can be a beautiful thing!!! But yep I will SAY IT AGAIN … as much as I was told to think in a chair 10 hours a day.
'I want to make sure we lose all heart and think!!! As they have taught me so f***ing well … so let’s BE SMART.'
Spears said after she ripped the pages out of the book she would 'just throw it away like my family did me,' referring to her ongoing tension with her relatives about five months after the end of the 13-year conservatorship her father Jamie Spears presided over
Spears implored her followers to analyze the images, which included a group of men who appear to be focused on repairing a chair
Spears posted a shot of a blue man wearing a king's crown with a long white beard
Spears said after she ripped the pages out of the book she would 'just throw it away like my family did me,' referring to her ongoing tension with her relatives about five months after the end of the 13-year conservatorship her father Jamie Spears presided over.
'Psss in a world where it’s acceptable to make a strong woman feel like a hopeless old woman letting her drive alone for the first time in 13 years … I gotta say y’all … I’M FOREVER GRATEFUL!!!' said the Oops!... I Did It Again vocalist.
She shared a series of emojis of a middle finger and signed off the post in saying, 'Psssss … again F*** YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL!!!'
Another image displayed a woman emerging out of a broken mirror
Spears shared an image of a woman with red antlers sprouting out of her head with eyes peeping at her from the background
One image was of two men in sombreros looking at one another with a horse cut in half separating them
The Womanizer artist is likely to further address her grievances with her relatives in a book she said she was writing about her life that she detailed in an Instagram post Monday that was later removed.
'Well I'm writing a book at the moment and it's actually healing and therapeutic ... it's also hard bringing up past events in my life,' said the Grammy-winner, who is engaged to actor-fitness professional Sam Asghari, 28. 'I've never been able to express openly!!! I can only imagine that I do sound childish but I was extremely young with those events took place.'
Spears is preparing to pen her memoir nearly three months after her sister Jamie Lynn Spears released her book titled Things I Should Have Said, which Britney was critical of.
Britney previously released two books she co-wrote with her mother Lynne Spears, 2000's Britney Spears' Heart to Heart and 2001's A Mother's Gift.

BEIJING (AP) — Asian stocks followed Wall Street lower Wednesday after a Federal Reserve official's comments fueled expectations of more aggressive U.S. rate hikes and the White House announced more sanctions on Russia.
Market benchmarks in Shanghai, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney retreated.
Wall Street's S&P 500 index tumbled 1.3% after Fed Governor Lael Brainard said reining in inflation that is at a four-decade high is of “paramount importance.” Brainard said the Fed is set to keep raising rates after its March hike, its first in four years, and might decide at its May meeting to reduce bond holdings “at a rapid pace.”
The White House said Western governments will ban new investmen t in Russia following evidence its soldiers deliberately killed civilians in Ukraine. The U.S. Treasury said President Vladimir Putin's government will be blocked from paying debts with dollars from American financial institutions, potentially increasing the risk of a default.
European governments have resisted appeals to boycott Russian gas, Putin's biggest export earner, due to the possible impact on their economies.
However, the EU's executive branch has proposed a ban on coal imports from Russia in the first sanction of its energy industry by the 27-nation bloc. The coal imports amount to an estimated 4 billion euros ($4.4 billion) per year.
“It’s hard to be particularly optimistic” about the war, “but we live in hope,” said Craig Orlam of Oanda in a report. “And it seems investors do too” despite inflation, rate hikes and high commodity prices.

Traders are pricing in a nearly 78% probability the Fed will raise its key rate by half a percentage point at its next meeting in May. That would be double the usual margin of change and a step the Fed hasn’t taken since 2000.
Higher interest rates tend to hurt stocks that are seen as the priciest, which puts the focus on big technology and other high-growth stocks. Apple and Tesla were some of the biggest weights on the market.
Wall Street is watching for clues as to how sharply interest rates will rise. On Wednesday, the Fed is due to release minutes from its March interest rate meeting.

Juan Mata, 34 this month, ‘will NOT retire or join Man Utd coaching staff in summer as he prepares for free transfer’
JUAN MATA will NOT retire or join Manchester United's coaching staff this summer, reports claim.
The Spaniard's contract expires at the end of the season leading to suggestions Mata could hang up his boots.
But according to Fabrizio Romano, the player has no interest in retirement and rules out becoming a coach with United.
With a contract extension yet to be offered, Mata could end his eight year stint in Manchester by walking out on a free transfer.
There has been interest from Spanish clubs and also in Italy, but that would almost certainly mean taking a huge hit on his near £170,000-a-week wages.
Mata joined United from Chelsea in 2014 and won the FA Cup in 2016 as well as the EFL Cup and the Europa League a year later.
The attacking midfielder has amassed a total of 51 goals and 47 assists in 277 matches during his eight-year stint at Old Trafford.
However, he has only managed five appearances across all competitions this season.
Another set to leave at the end of the season is veteran striker Edison Cavani, 35, who signed for United in 2020.
Inter Milan are interested as a potential replacement for Red Devils flop Alexis Sanchez.

Meanwhile, River Plate are keen to offer him a road back to South America.
The Argentine outfit looked to be front runners for the Uruguay striker until Real Sociedad stepped in and led the race.
Cavani has featured in just 17 games this term - chipping in with just two goals and one assist.

Gill Charlton has been fighting for Telegraph readers and solving their travel problems for more than 30 years, winning refunds, righting wrongs and suggesting solutions.
This week's question...
Dear Gill,
In early 2020, we booked flights to Chicago with British Airways to visit our daughter in May that year. We also purchased a return flight from Chicago to Fort Myers in Florida with American Airlines through Expedia.
The pandemic forced us to cancel our trip and both airlines gave us credits towards future travel. AA’s credit of £1,132 was issued by Expedia with an expiry date of Oct 31 2022.
Once travel to the US reopened, we made plans to revive our trip in May 2022 – but AA would not accept our credit notes. Expedia told us that American Airlines had brought forward the expiry date for use to March 31 2022.
Calls to both American Airlines and Expedia produced no solution so my wife asked to use both vouchers to fly from London to Chicago in March. American Airlines refused to allow this. It said that, because the booking was made in US dollars, travel must begin in the US. However, we paid Expedia for these flights in pounds sterling and our credit is denominated in sterling, so this seems very unfair. Can you help?
– ML
Gill's response:
The “coupon” credit issued by Expedia clearly gives an expiry date of Oct 31 2022 but also says “the value, expiration and other conditions of airline credits are subject to the airline’s policy” – a get-out clause, should the airline change the conditions of use.
I agree that this is unfair, both on the part of the airline and of Expedia – which surely, with all its clout in the airline industry, should be able to resolve with AA’s agency sales team this restriction of your credits being valid only for US domestic flights.
When I put these questions to American Airlines, it intimated that the agency sales team might have some leeway. Expedia went away to find out.
After investigating your case, it has admitted that it made an error when processing your credits and says the easiest way forward is to refund the value of the original booking. A refund of £1,132 is now being processed back to your account. To apologise further for the error, it has added a £100 voucher to your Expedia account.
Amid all the chaos of changed and cancelled flights due to the pandemic, it is not surprising that mistakes have been made by agents processing vouchers and credits. If you have an outstanding flight credit with a US airline bought through a flight broker, check the expiry date on the airline’s website as it may be sooner than you think.
Gill takes on a different case each week – so please send your problems to her for consideration at asktheexperts@telegraph.co.uk. Please give your full name and, if your dispute is with a travel company, your address, telephone number and any booking reference. Gill can’t answer every question, but she will help where she can and all emails are acknowledged.
