– Results showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 29.3% for all treated patients.
– Consistent responses across all risk groups, including patients who received prior “triple-class” and CAR-T therapies or having cytogenetic abnormalities.
– Selinexor is on track for a Q2:22 launch in China.
SHANGHAI and HONG KONG, April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Antengene Corporation Limited (“Antengene” SEHK: 6996.HK), a leading innovative, commercial-stage global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering, developing, and commercializing first-in-class and/or best-in-class medicines for cancer, today announced that results of its pivotal MARCH bridging study to evaluate selinexor in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM) were published in BMC Medicine.
(https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12916-022-02305-4)
MARCH study was a single-arm, open-label study to evaluate selinexor combined with low dose dexamethasone, the “Sd regimen”, for treatment of heavily pre-treated patients in China with R/R MM who were refractory to prior therapies with an immunomodulatory agent (IMiD) and a proteasome inhibitor (PI). The study also evaluated several high risk patient subgroups, such as triple-class refractory [refractory to PI, IMiD and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (mAb)] patients.
The primary endpoint for the study was ORR per an independent review committee. The ORR was 29.3% [95% Confidence Interval (CI): 19.7, 40.4] for all treated patients in the study. Antengene also reported the ORR for several high-risk subgroups including patients who had:
- Triple-class refractory disease: ORR = 25.0% (95% CI: 8.7, 49.1)
- Received prior CAR-T: ORR = 50.0% (95% CI: 18.7, 81.3)
- High-risk cytogenetic abnormalities: ORR = 25.5%
MARCH study was designed as a confirmatory bridging study to validate the data from the global Phase II STORM study. It addresses the China regulatory need to further validate the data from the STORM trial in Chinese patients with R/R MM.
The approval of selinexor in the U.S. was based on the STORM study, which demonstrated a significant clinical benefit of the Sd regimen in patients with R/R MM who had disease refractory to at least two PI, at least two IMiD, and an anti-CD38 mAb.
“The MARCH study was the cornerstone of the accelerated approval for selinexor for R/R MM in China, confirming the results from the US STORM trial. As Antengene is ready to launch selinexor in the second quarter of this year, we are very pleased to publish and share a full summary of the results of this pivotal trial with the medical community,” said Kevin Lynch, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Antengene. “Antengene is very excited to bring this new therapeutic option for R/R MM to improve the care of patients in China.”
The pivotal MARCH trial was conducted at 17 sites in China. Selinexor 80 mg combined with dexamethasone 20 mg were administered orally on Day 1 and Day 3 of each week in 4-week cycles.
Other secondary outcome measures included assessment of duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), safety, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile.
A total of 82 Chinese patients with R/R MM were enrolled, with a median age of 60 years. Of the 82 patients, 55 patients (67.1%) had high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities and 18 patients (22.0%) had abnormal renal function. Enrolled patients were heavily pre-treated, having received a median prior regimen number of 5. All 82 patients (100%) were refractory to both PI and IMiD, including 20 patients (24.4%) categorized as triple-class refractory population. Ten patients (12.2%) had undergone CAR-T therapy.
Result showed that ORR was 29.3% (95% CI: 19.7, 40.4) with a median DOR of 4.7 months. The median PFS and OS were 3.7 months and 13.2 months, respectively. ORR was 25.0% in the triple-class refractory population. Efficacy was consistent across various subgroups. The PK profile was characterized by parameter and ethnicity sensitivity analyses. No significant drug accumulation was shown following multiple administrations. No human PK ethnicity difference was identified between Chinese and western patients.
Adverse events (AEs) found in the study were expected and manageable with supportive care and dose modification. The most frequent Grade 3/4 AEs included anemia (57.3%), thrombocytopenia (51.2%), lymphopenia (42.7%), neutropenia (40.2%), hyponatremia (29.3%) and lung infection (26.8%). Serious AEs were reported in 54.9% of patients.
About Multiple Myeloma
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy, estimated about 15,000-20,000 new MM patients and 10,300 deaths in China per year.[1]
About ATG-010/Selinexor/XPOVIO®
Selinexor is the first and only oral XPO1 inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM) and relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL). By blocking the nuclear export protein XPO1, selinexor can promote the intranucl accumulation and activation of tumor suppressor proteins and growth regulating proteins, and down-regulate the levels of multiple oncogenic proteins. Due to its novel mechanism of action, selinexor is being evaluated for use in multiple combination regimens to improve treatment efficacy.
Antengene secured approval of selinexor in China in December 2021 for R/R MM and plans to launch the product in the second quarter of 2022. Antengene also secured approval for selinexor in South Korea for use in R/R MM and R/R DLBCL in July 2021, in Singapore for use in R/R MM and R/R DLBCL and in Australia for use in R/R MM in March 2022. Antengene is conducting 10 clinical studies in mainland China (3 in collaboration with Karyopharm) for relapsed/refractory hematological malignancies and advanced solid tumors.

Which headphones are best for walking?
Walking can be a great way to stay active, but it’s not the most exciting activity. However, listening to your favorite tunes or podcast as you stroll along can make it more fun.
Choosing a quality pair of headphones designed for active people will provide you with the best experience. However, there are a few styles and features to consider before buying new headphones.
Styles of headphones for walking
Over-ear
Over-ear headphones are large and completely cover the ears. Because of their size, they usually offer the most bass and have the longest-lasting battery life if they’re wireless. Although many find them too bulky to wear for workouts, they’re fine for walking since it’s not a rigorous activity.
On-ear
On-ear headphones rest firmly on the ears and are more lightweight than over-ear headphones, making them more suitable for traveling and exercising. However, they usually don’t pack as much bass because they’re smaller.
In-ear
In-ear headphones, commonly referred to as earphones or earbuds, are the most lightweight, portable headphones. They’re also the most comfortable since they don’t rest on top of your head, so they’re ideal for exercising. Although there are varying styles, most are suitable for walking.
What to look for in quality headphones for walking
Wireless
Wired headphones are cheaper than wireless headphones and great for listening in a sedentary position, such as while working at the office or listening to music in your room. However, headphone wires are cumbersome and can make you feel constrained as you move, making wireless headphones the better option for walking and other exercises.
Ingress Protection rating
An IP rating refers to a product’s dust and water resistance and is expressed as IPXX. After IP, the first digit refers to its resistance to dust and dirt, while the second relates to moisture resistance. An X means the product hasn’t been sufficiently tested for protection in that area.
For example, headphones with an IPX7 rating have an unknown dust and dirt protection rating but can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes to a depth of 1 meter.
You don’t need headphones with a high IP rating if the only exercise you’ll be using them for is walking. However, walking for extended periods, especially in a warm environment, will cause you to sweat, so your headphones should at least have some moisture resistance.
Noise-canceling
Noise-canceling technology drowns out the external sounds in your environment. With noise-canceling technology, you can tune the level of ambient sound to suit your environment.
It’s a great feature for walking indoors on a treadmill or outdoors on a secure path. However, most of the time, you’re going to want to hear ambient sound when walking outdoors. Using noise-canceling can expose you to hazards such as traffic and cyclists since you wouldn’t be able to hear them.
Controls and voice assistants
It can be dangerous to be distracted while walking outdoors, so hands-free controls and access to voice assistants are advisable and convenient. Many headphones let you access voice assistants like Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant and have buttons for managing phone calls and your music. With them, you don’t have to use your phone to switch songs, adjust the volume or take a call.

HILTON, N.Y. (WROC) — A push to shut down puppy mills across New York is being spearheaded by two Hilton teenagers.
Joey Nowacki and Cooper Streb, both 13-years-old, are on a mission to end animal cruelty across the state. The two are students at Merton Williams Middle School and part of their plan includes shutting down all puppy mills that exist in New York.
“We are attempting to shut them down due to we recently adopted a golden doodle and unfortunately it didn’t work out due to the way it was treated at the puppy mills,” Cooper said. “After doing a little further research, Joey and I decided to try and put an end to them.”
Cooper said the dog his family was trying to rescue was overbred, abused, and kept in a horse stall for four years.
“We were told that she was not treated well, that she possibly had a fight for food, and she, unfortunately, had a high prey instinct towards small animals, and we have a cat so we don’t want to take any chances,” Cooper said.
Cooper’s best friend, Joey, is also passionate about ending animal cruelty.
He recently adopted an English Bulldog puppy with a cleft lip and said the dog may have been put down if his family hadn’t rescued him. Joey adds that his dog “means the world” to him.
“I have been focusing on kind of shutting up puppy mills for a while now. I did it as my Power One Project back in sixth grade, so it’s just been something that’s always been on my mind,” Joey said.
The two teens are now using their shared experiences to make a difference.
“It’s a really big help because he understands what I’ve been going through, I understand what he’s been going through with his dog, so it’s really helped me know that we’re like best friends and we’ve been friends for a long time,” Joey said.
To get the word out about their efforts, the boys have been spending 7 to 8 hours a week trying to end puppy mills and animal cruelty. They began by starting a petition which has been signed hundreds of times.
“We have around 900 people right now, after like three weeks, then the first thing we ended up doing is going door to door in our neighborhoods, trying to tell the people that we know about it,” Cooper said.
They have also created flyers that explain their efforts and how people can get involved. The flyers have been posted at libraries, bus stops, and local businesses. Each one has a QR code that takes people to their petition.
“Our goal is to start shutting them down, the few puppy mills that are in New York State first, and then spreading the word throughout the country,” Cooper said.
Through public service announcement videos and social media, the boys have gained a pretty big following. They’ve teamed up with the animal rescue service, North Paw Rescue, to help get their message out. Their classmates and teachers have rallied around them as well.
“They really like it. They’re really helpful,” Cooper said. “A lot of my friends at school have been talking to me about it, reposting on social media, my teachers been doing the same, retweeting on Twitter, so they’re helping out really well.”
Joey adds even though they’re young, this is just the beginning of their efforts. And so far, they’ve only had positive responses from those around them.
“They’re very positive about it. I’ve gotten like little to no people saying that I can’t do it. They’re very supportive,” Joey said.
To help their mission, the boys are encouraging people to call their assemblymember to support the ‘Puppy Mill Pipeline Bill,’ which would end the retail sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits in pet stores across the state.
The bill passed twice in the Senate, but not in the Assembly, where some are concerned about pet stores going out of business.
You can also get involved in the teen’s efforts by contacting them directly on their website, which can be found below:

CHICAGO — For more than two years, whenever I’ve driven past the Cinemark 18 in Evanston, Illinois, arguably the go-to multiplex for the Far North Side, I have wondered what it looks like inside right now. How quiet it must be. Is the concession stand sticky? Are the seats dusty? Do lobby posters promise a summer movie season the pandemic stopped before it could start? Like other theaters across the country, the Cinemark 18 was crushed; it closed with the initial round of lockdowns, never reopened and finally shuttered for good a year ago. The hopeful news is that AMC just announced it will reopen the theater later this year. But the existential threat remains: How long can movie theaters stay open?
Two years after those stay-at-home orders, we stream now; there’s no going back. And so that trusty old Cinemark 18 plans to reopen as the AMC Evanston 12, with the space formerly occupied by six movie screens developed into something that is not theaters.
I was supposed to be pretending to care about the Oscars on Sunday.
Instead, I was wondering about the future of the medium itself.
For a disquieting hint, I turned to “Movie Theaters,” a new cemetery slab of a coffee-table book by the French photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre, best known for capturing the evocative ruins of Detroit. Here, for 300 pages, they splay open the crumbling corpses of cinemas that closed, often decades ago. Think of it as a tangible, narrowcasted reboot of virtual doom-scrolling. Or maybe a coast-to-coast funeral procession. Either way, the Chicago area is a little too well represented. There are the decaying walls and flattened seats of the Lawndale Theatre, once a Roosevelt Road fixture, before the building was demolished a decade ago — it hadn’t shown a movie in 50 years. There are five pages of the relatively sprightly Uptown Theatre on Broadway, looking just $1 billion, a robust rust-scrubbing and a full repainting away from filling its 4,381 seats.
You get a single image of the Central Park on Roosevelt, constructed in 1917, one of the first air-conditioned movie houses in the country; the photograph shows a grimy, walled-off balcony divided from the floor seats below — an image taken before the building’s loving, ongoing restoration. It’s a success beside the Times Theater in Rockford, which comments on itself: Large signs reading “Times” curl ornately over a sad, empty facade. That said, according to the Rockford Register Star, even the Times is a-changing, thanks to a real estate firm’s $14 million scrub, announced in December.
Still, nobody really expects these buildings to become just movie theaters again.
As Marchand and Meffre show with a palpable Euro-irony, the success stories have been mixed blessings. We lost grand movie palaces in the past few decades, but we gained, in those same spaces, a dollar store in Berkeley, California; a storage space for mattresses in Cincinnati; a climbing wall in Denver; a cosmetic shop in Toronto; a gym in Brooklyn. Sometimes, as movie theaters once reflected the dreams of their communities, the refurbishments do the same: Old cinemas became UFO museums in New Mexico, boating museums in New Hampshire, gun-shooting ranges in Texas.
But mostly, considering the evidence in these photos, taken over the past decade, we let theaters rot; collect dust; loose roofs, paint and ornaments. As Ross Melnick, a film professor at the University of California Santa Barbara and co-founder of the Cinema Treasures website, writes in the introduction, it’s hard to tell from these pictures if we’re looking at the past or future of movie theaters.
In an image showing the former balcony of the Varsity in Evanston, among newish ventilation ducts, we see a proscenium arch that resembles Disney’s Magic Kingdom. (The building is expected to be developed into a 35-apartment residential complex) The rich midnight blues of the ceiling at the Kenosha Theatre in Wisconsin still pop in places where the ceiling hasn’t crumbled into a skeletal lattice of iron framework. Where it hasn’t darkened, peeled or succumbed to encroaching tree roots, the bright canary yellow walls of the Gem Theatre in Cairo, down on the Missouri border, are still striking.
On the marquee of the Palace in Gary, Indiana, it still says (minus two letters) “Jackson Five Tonite” — but the picture was shot in 2009, and the marquee was a cosmetic renovation of its facade, made by Donald Trump’s Miss USA pageant, held in Indiana 20 years ago.
Inside the theater?
There’s a painted curtain still hung across the stage, its fading Egyptian scene still clear, but the rest of the room (closed to movie showings since the 1960s) would work only as the already-dressed set of a post-apocalyptic horror movie. (One Connecticut theater in the book even serves as storage for military rations in the event of WWIII.) The insides of many of the theaters in these photos suggest their staffs scattered abruptly. Handwritten sheets of movie schedules are found on desks; there are vintage candy boxes, stacks of marquee lettering and, in one Ohio cinema, a coin-operated bathroom scale.
You might assume whatever calamity befell these places came suddenly, violently.
But in fact, many of the theaters in this book have been closed so long, you’re looking at several generations of heartaches, everything from the encroachment of TV in the 1950s to antitrust decrees that broke up Hollywood’s control of theatrical exhibition to fears of violence in downtown hubs, real estate prices, VHS players, Xboxes, iPhones.
Mostly, you’re looking at the long fade-out of a way of life, and a splintering of vibrant communities that happened so long ago the ruins became neighborhood wallpaper. Many of the repurposed theaters found in these pages are in other parts of the country. In the images taken around Illinois, the theaters tend to exist in neighborhoods — the Colony on 59th Street, Ramova on South Halsted, several in downtown Rockford — still responding to suburban flight, decades of divestment and years of real estate redlining.
As a lover of movie theaters, though, the saddest parts of “Movie Theaters” are not those crumbling cathedrals, many of which opened before the Great Depression and understood how to diversify, serving as launching stages for Benny Goodman (Central Park), tour stops for 1970s rock acts (Uptown) and neighborhood Baptist congregations (Lawndale). At least for me, who came of age in the ‘70s and ‘80s, after many movie palaces had sputtered to an end, it’s painful to see the shoebox-sized screening rooms crumbling. These were unloved spaces, often created by theater companies dicing up vast single-screen properties into tinier houses, to add screenings and maximize profit.
They did what they could.
In the end, everything comes apart.
Times change. Even at the Times Theater in Rockford, Illinois, should it be restored someday. Its developer is picturing a 900-seat concert venue, and every now and then, movies.

VANADZOR, Armenia (RFE/RL) — Opposition groups in Vanadzor on Monday, April 4, accused Armenia’s leadership of seeking to nullify their victory in last December’s municipal election through what they see as an unconstitutional bill.
The city has had no mayor since Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s Civil Contract party was defeated in the election.
Civil Contract won only 25 percent of the vote there, compared to 39 percent polled by an opposition bloc led by former Vanadzor Mayor Mamikon Aslanyan. The bloc teamed up with the opposition Fatherland party, giving them a majority of seats in the local council empowered to elect the head of the community.
Aslanyan thus looked set to regain his post lost in October. But ten days after the ballot, he was arrested on corruption charges rejected by him as politically motivated.
Later in December, Armenia’s Administrative Court banned the new Vanadzor council from holding any sessions until July this year. It cited an appeal against the election results lodged by another pro-government party.

BRUSSELS (AP) — European Council president Charles Michel said on Wednesday that European Union countries should think about ways to offer asylum to Russian soldiers willing to desert Ukraine battlefields.
During an address to the the European Parliament, Michel expressed his “outrage at crimes against humanity, against innocent civilians in Bucha and in many other cities,” then called on Russian soldiers to disobey orders.
Michel referred to the town outside of Kyiv where graphic evidence of killings and torture has emerged following the withdrawal of Russian forces. He said he wanted to deliver a message to Russian soldiers waging the war started by Moscow against its neighbor on Feb. 24.
“If you want no part in killing your Ukrainian brothers and sisters, if you don’t want to be a criminal, drop your arms, stop fighting, leave the battlefield,” said Michel, who represents the bloc’s governments.
Endorsing an idea previously circulated by some EU lawmakers, Michel added that granting asylum to Russian deserters is “a valuable idea that should be pursued.”
A day after the European Commission — the EU’s executive arm — proposed a ban on coal imports from Russia as part of a fifth round of sanctions, Michel said the bloc should keep up the pressure on the Kremlin.
“The new package includes a ban on coal imports,” Michel said. “I think that measures on oil, and even gas, will also be needed, sooner or later.”
The European Commission said the proposed ban on coal imports is worth 4 billion euros ($4.4 billion) per year, and that the EU has already started working on additional sanctions, including on oil imports.
A consensus among the 27 EU countries on targeting gas, the fuel used to generate electricity and heat homes, would be difficult to secure amid opposition from gas-dependent members like Germany, the bloc’s largest economy.
The new package of measures proposed by the commission also includes sanctions on more individuals and four key Russian banks, among them VTB, the second-largest Russian bank. The bloc also would ban Russian vessels and Russian-operated vessels from EU ports. Further targeted export bans, worth 10 billion euros, in sectors covering quantum computers, advanced semiconductors, sensitive machinery and transportation equipment also were proposed.
The package must be adopted unanimously by all 27 EU countries.

(NewsNation) — Bird farmers and zoos across the United States are moving their birds indoors, away from people and wildlife, to protect them from the highly contagious and potentially deadly avian influenza, or bird flu.
Nearly 23 million chickens and turkeys have already been killed across the country to limit the spread of the virus. Many farmers and zoos are working hard to prevent any of their birds from meeting the same fate.
“The disease itself is devasting; the industry is on high alert right now,” said Marc Dresner, the American Egg Board director.
Since the bird flu outbreak, 4% of the nation’s hens are dead in just weeks.
“There is nothing that is harder than an egg farmer than being confronted with putting down a flock of birds,” said Dr. Carol Cardona, an avian expert.
After one positive test, farmers have been forced to kill millions of birds to prevent further outbreaks. Unfortunately, there is no cure. But the U.S. Department of Agriculture is considering a bird flu vaccine.
“If the outbreak continues to get worse and it can’t be controlled by another means, then they will bring that final tool out of the shed to use it,” Cardona explained.
She said a vaccine is already used in several other countries, like China and Egypt. But, like COVID-19, the virus continues to change continent to continent and bird to bird.
“The closer the vaccine is related to the virus that you have that moment to the challenge, the better the protection is,” Cardona said.
Rolling out a vaccine is challenging, but it is more complex to ensure effectiveness. Cardona said if a bird has been vaccinated, there’s no risk to humans.
According to Cardona, nearly 100 percent of birds are already vaccinated for Marek’s disease, an illness in the 1970s killing millions of birds. However, many question whether birds should be vaccinated since they’ll be killed anyway.
“Why would I want an animal to get sick? I don’t understand that question because even though their lives may be short, they don’t have to be brutish,” Cardona said.
She said scientists believe climate change may be to blame, and infected wild birds migrate from Eurasia. Many hope when summer comes, the disease will die out.
But Cardona said that may not be the case. “We don’t necessarily know what is happening in the wild bird host, so when it will disappear, it’s anyone’s guess right now.”
Meanwhile, as long as the outbreak spreads, egg prices are expected to rise just in time for Easter as the outbreak hits more states. The cost of eggs is currently up 50%. However, experts said an egg shortage should not be an issue.

The Fed is sounding more and more aggressive
By Julia Horowitz, CNN Business
What does it mean when even the doves at the Federal Reserve start to sound like hawks?
Investors are weighing that question after a key member of the central bank who has historically favored a gentler approach to raising interest rates talked tough about the central bank’s need to fight rising prices.
“It is of paramount importance to get inflation down,” Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard said in a speech Tuesday.
She said that the central bank would move to “rapidly” shrink its nearly $9 trillion balance sheet this year, unraveling the huge bond-buying program launched at the start of the pandemic, while also hiking rates.
Brainard’s commentary “cleared the way” for a super-sized interest rate hike at the Fed’s next meeting in May, according to Bespoke Investment Group.
That sparked a strong response across financial markets. After Brainard spoke, the yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury note hit its highest level in nearly three years, soaring to 2.56%. Bond yields move opposite prices, so that indicates a sharp sell-off.
Stocks also fell. The S&P 500 finished down 1.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite shed 2.3%. Investment-grade corporate bonds logged their biggest one-day decline since March 2020.
David Madden, an analyst at Equiti Capital, said the moves were sparked by the “realization” that central banks are set back to pull back support for the economy even faster than had been expected, even though the war in Ukraine has clouded the outlook for growth.
“Not only are they continuing down the path, they seem to be accelerating their language,” Madden told me.
Market sentiment is holding up for now. The CNN Business Fear & Greed Index remains in “neutral” territory, after producing an “extreme fear” reading one month ago.
But worries are clearly growing that the Fed could be so aggressive in fighting the highest inflation in 40 years that it sparks a recession. Deutsche Bank on Tuesday became the first major bank to predict this would happen.
“We no longer see the Fed achieving a soft landing,” Deutsche Bank economists led by Matthew Luzzetti wrote in the report. “Instead, we anticipate that a more aggressive tightening of monetary policy will push the economy into a recession.”
The bank, while citing “considerable uncertainty” around its forecast, predicted that the US economy will shrink during the final quarter of next year and the first quarter of 2024, though the contraction should be much more mild than the past two downturns.
The turbulence could continue on Wednesday as Wall Street pores over the Federal Reserve’s minutes from its March meeting for clues on its next steps.
JetBlue thinks it can win a fight to buy Spirit Airlines
Budget carrier Spirit Airlines is a hot commodity right now.
On Tuesday, JetBlue made an unsolicited $3.6 billion offer to buy the company. The twist? The bid could derail a proposed deal between Spirit and Frontier Airlines announced earlier this year.
JetBlue’s cash offer is about 33% higher than the value of Frontier’s stock-and-cash offer, my CNN Business colleague Chris Isidore reports.
It has good reason to want to emerge victorious. If Frontier and Spirit combine, they would leapfrog JetBlue to become the nation’s fifth largest airline, competing directly with American, United, Delta and Southwest, which together control more than 80% of the market.
“The combination of the two airlines would position JetBlue as the most compelling national low-fare challenger to the four large dominant US carriers,” JetBlue said in a statement.
CEO Robin Hayes played up JetBlue’s relative popularity. Frontier and Spirit had the industry’s worst customer satisfaction ratings for 2021, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index. JetBlue was tied for third best.
“Customers shouldn’t have to choose between a low fare and a great experience, and JetBlue has shown it’s possible to have both,” Hayes said.
What happens next: Spirit said that it’s working with its financial and legal advisers to evaluate the proposal. Shares of the airline spiked 22% on Tuesday after the New York Times disclosed the bid. JetBlue fell 7%.
Elon Musk is already shaking things up at Twitter
That didn’t take long. Just one day after Tesla CEO Elon Musk disclosed that he’d scooped up a 9% stake in Twitter, making him its largest shareholder, the company announced that he would join its board of directors.
With a board seat, Musk is poised to have more influence over the company and its direction.
“I’m excited to share that we’re appointing @elonmusk to our board!” Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal said Tuesday. “Through conversations with Elon in recent weeks, it became clear to us that he would bring great value.”
Musk responded that he is “looking forward to working with Parag & Twitter board to make significant improvements to Twitter in coming months!”
Sign of a shakeup: Musk tweeted a poll to his followers on Monday asking if they wanted Twitter to have an edit button, the subject of longstanding debate on the platform.
Late Tuesday, Twitter said it’s been developing a feature for the past year that will allow users to edit their tweets, and that testing will become available “in the coming months.”

If you're like most people, your closet holds not just boast-about bargains but also special garments with eye-popping prices that your weak-willed shopping self just couldn't resist. You know — the ones you always end up shrinking. It's heartbreaking when it happens but good to know that it's avoidable when what you put in the dryer is made of fabrics like acrylic or polyester.
Video of the Day
Basically, neither fabric will shrink under normal conditions. You do, however, need to keep in mind that subjecting them to excessive temperatures can cause minor shrinkage or even melting due to the synthetic fibers. This is why it's important to follow all care instructions and to make sure your dryer isn't overheating.
Properties of Acrylic and Polyester
Soft and warm, acrylic is used in things such as sweaters, socks, knitted goods, fleece items, and blankets and is often viewed as a substitute for wool. Because the different methods used to produce acrylics create different characteristics, care instructions can vary from one acrylic garment to another.
Polyester, the most popular synthetic fabric, is used for all types of clothing. Its strength and durability make it a go-to fabric for outerwear, and polyester fibers are often blended with such fibers as wool, cotton, linen, and acetate to make them easier to care for.
Both fabrics are wrinkle-resistant, launder easily, and resist damage from sunlight, moths, and mildew, but both will actually melt when exposed to dryers that are too hot.
Taking Precautions With Your Dryer
Because acrylic and polyester are so heat sensitive, tumbling these fabrics in a dryer with an overheating problem can spell death for clothing you love. If they shrink a bit, you may still be able to use them. If they melt, it's over.
The best thing to do — beyond always making sure you read your care instruction labels to identify when you're dealing with acrylic or polyester — is to take precautions to prevent dryer problems.
When a dryer cabinet feels too hot or the items you unload feel warmer than they should on the setting you used, you should call for a service technician. If you have a gas dryer, the technician will check for problems with thermostat regulation, heat sensors, and air circulation. If your dryer is electric, the check will involve additional components, like heating elements. One of the most common problems, however, which results in thousands of house fires each year, is lint buildup, which you can easily control yourself by cleaning lint from your lint screen, lint trap, and vent and duct system.

Loudmouth NPP firebrand, Chairman Wontumi who is an astute businessman has added a new luxury car to his already existing fleet of expensive automobiles.

Tissi to take leading role at La Scala after leaving Bolshoi
By Sara Rossi
MILAN, April 6 (Reuters) - Italian Jacopo Tissi has returned to Milan's La Scala after the war in Ukraine prompted his abrupt departure from the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow where he had been promoted to principal dancer at the turn of the year.
The 27-year-old performed at the Bolshoi theater for the last time on March 3 before leaving suddenly early the following morning, taking only the essentials with him after five years in Russia.
"I was overwhelmed by emotion...It was a moment I will not easily forget," he told Reuters, fighting back tears as he described leaving the Bolshoi and the shows he had prepared so hard for.
Tissi, who was born in northern Italy and trained at La Scala, said he had to take the decision to leave Moscow very quickly.
"There was a rather heavy atmosphere...It was no longer possible to carry on doing my job," he said.
Tissi will perform on Thursday in a gala for Ukrainian refugees at another Milan theater before taking on the role of guest principal dancer at La Scala 2022/23 ballet season.
He says he learnt a lot in Moscow but does not regret leaving.
"I have to say it's thanks to the Bolshoi for making me the artist I am today," he said.
He is reluctant to get too drawn into commenting on the situation in Ukraine following the Russian invasion on Feb. 24, describing the situation as "terrible, sad and incredible too."
Asked about a benefit ballet staged last weekend at the Bolshoi, Tissi said, "There are always two sides in a war, and victims on one side and the other."
Tissi is now finding solace in being back home.
"Returning to dance in Italy, in Milan, a city that is close to my heart, in a very special theater, is of course something I am happy about." ($1 = 0.9146 euros) (Reporting by Sara Rossi Editing by Keith Weir, Alexandra Hudson)

After much foot-dragging, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has finally jettisoned zoning. The 37-man committee set up by the party to decide on whether or not to zone its presidential ticket reached a unanimous decision to throw the ticket open to aspirants from all the zones of the country, THISDAY learnt yesterday.
Though, there was no official confirmation yet, sources in the zoning committee, who attended a meeting yesterday at the Benue State Government Lodge, in Abuja, disclosed that the presidential ticket had been thrown open to all the 13 aspirants that had bought presidential nomination forms.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja, chairman of the committee and Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, said, "We have just finished our meeting. After we rose from our meeting last week, today we decided that we would meet and by the Grace of God we have unanimously adopted a position that will be sent to the NEC of our party that appointed us.
"The good news for our teaming supporters of the PDP and Nigerians is that we have resolved and every one of us, the 37 members, unanimously adopted the position that we are going to present to NEC."
However, a copy of the recommendations by the zoning committee obtained by THISDAY stated:
"(1) Zoning, as in our party constitution, is affirmed.
"(2) In spite of (1) above, the ticket is thrown open, this time around due to exigency of time.
"(3) Our party is encouraged to always make the issue of zoning very clear at least six months before sales of forms.
"(4) Our party should commend the efforts of some of our contestants on the issue of consensus candidacy; the efforts should be seen to a peaceful and logical conclusion."
No date has been fixed for a meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party.
Reliable sources also told THISDAY that former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, Kawo Baraje, and Senator Abdul Ningi favoured the zoning of the presidential ticket to the north.
A source said the three of them argued separately that the best decision for the committee was to zone the presidential ticket to the north. Alternatively, they said, in the interest of fair play and transparency, the ticket should be thrown open to all the 13 aspirants that had purchased the presidential forms.
It was also learnt that they argued that the PDP ticket since 1999 had been in the southern part of the country, where former President Olusegun Obasanjo had it for eight years, followed by the late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, from the north, who died in office about three years into his tenure. Former President Goodluck Jonathan, from the south, held office from May 5, 2010 to May 29, 2015.
In the 22 years of return to democracy, the north has held the presidency for barely three years under the PDP.
Other from the north spoke in the same vein, insisting that for fairness, the ticket should be zoned to the northern part of the country.
But some argued that it would be in the overall interest of the PDP to throw the presidential ticket open to all the contestants. They believed it would be unfair to allow all the aspirants to pay and obtain the presidential forms and, then, exclude some later.
However, members of the committee from the south argued that prior to the 2019 presidential election, the Senator Ike Ekweremadu committee had officially announced the zoning of the PDP presidential candidate to the north. They argued that it was on the basis of the zoning arrangement that Atiku, Tambuwal, Saraki and others contested and there was no single southerner that contested in the Port Harcourt presidential convention.
THISDAY learnt that members of the committee from the South-west had during the heated argument called for an open contest, saying it is too late to zone the presidential ticket.
Sources said the South-west members contended that zoning the presidential ticket at this time could be counter-productive, as it was late to do so
It was gathered that in the coming days, the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) would summon an emergency meeting to discuss the recommendations of the zoning committee.
Political allies of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Senator Abdul Ningi and Adamu Waziri; ally of Bukola Saraki, who was National Secretary of PDP, Kawu Baraje; and former governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa, were all joyous after the meeting.
On the other hand, governor of Enugu State, Mr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who was a member of the zoning committee, was moody after the meeting. Also, former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, it was learnt, opted out of the committee's meeting, saying he wants to contest the presidential ticket of the party.
Fayose said it would be unfair to be in the meeting while also interested in the contest.
Meanwhile, Tambuwal, who is a presidential aspirant under the party, is set to meet the PDP Senate and House of Representatives caucus as part of his consultation.

Orchard Lake St. Mary’s fab freshman slot back Antwon Thomas, Birmingham Detroit Country Day sophomore running back Gabe Winowich and Birmingham Groves’ sophomore wide receiver Zach Rogers locked down their first Division I college scholarship offers last week, highlighting a group of underclassmen getting things done on the recruiting trail lately.
Thomas (5-foot-9, 170 pounds) was offered by Bowling Green. A Swiss army knife type on the gridiron, he plays quarterback, running back, slot receiver and cornerback. He recently visited Maryland and Pittsburgh. Right now, Thomas is being recruited on defense out of the secondary.
“Antwon is incredibly versatile,” 24/7 Sports Midwest Recruiting Coordinator Allen Trieu said. “Coaches at St. Mary’s like his evasiveness and natural instincts on both sides of the ball.”
Winowich (6-1, 210) collected a Maryland offer and visited campus last weekend. The rough-and-rugged Yellowjacket took a visit to Iowa two weekends ago. He’s started at tailback and strong safety the past two seasons, helping Country Day raise its first state football championship banners in more than two decades as a freshman.
“The terms natural athlete and tenacious competitor immediately come to mind when you watch Gabe perform,” Country Day head coach Dan MacLean said. “His motor and IQ for the game are elite. There’s not much he can’t do on a football field.”
Rogers (6-0, 170), the son of the late Michigan State great, Charles Rogers (Detroit Lions’ first-round draft pick in 2003), saw three straight offers come his way in a matter of 72 hours, snagging bids from Louisville, Duke and Eastern Kentucky. Scouts expect the young pass catcher who also plays in the defensive backfield to have a big junior campaign in the fall.
Catching fire, copping BCS bids
West Bloomfield sophomore Jamir Benjamin might be the best cover corner in Oakland County. Benjamin (6-0, 170) had a flood of offers come his way this last 10 days from power conference programs. Michigan came in first. Then, Northwestern, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Louisville and Duke.
Michigan State and Purdue were the first two BCS schools to offer Benjamin back in the summer. He is scheduled to visit Michigan State next weekend.
Golden Domer delight
West Bloomfield sophomore defensive end Brandon Davis-Swain corralled an offer from Notre Dame last week, the most recent in a slew of high-profile bids to come his way over the last 18 months. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound pass rushing menace had 14 sacks on a Lakers’ club that lost in the regionals in 2021. He made an impact as a freshman on the Lakers state title club during the 2020-2021 campaign. Davis-Swain currently holds 17 scholarship offers.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A federal judge has ordered the immediate release of a computer hacker who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping the Islamic State, and accused the Justice Department of trumping up charges against him to keep him in jail.
The April 1 order from U.S. Judge Leonie Brinkema includes a harsh rebuke of the Justice Department's conduct against Ardit Ferizi. The native of Kosovo is the first person convicted in the U.S. of both computer hacking and terrorism charges.
He pleaded guilty back in 2016 and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He admitted hacking a private company and pulling out the names, email passwords and phone numbers of about 1,300 people with .gov and .mil addresses and turning the data over to the "Islamic State Hacking Division.” The Islamic State published the names with a threat to attack.
In 2020, in the earliest stages of the pandemic, Ferizi sought compassionate release, citing his asthma and obesity as placing him at greater risk of contracting COVID-19.
Brinkema initially denied his request. But Ferizi renewed his request when an outbreak spread through his prison, and Brinkema granted him compassionate release over prosecutors' objections.
Brinkema's ruling resulted in Ferizi's transfer to immigration authorities for deportation. Before he could be deported, though, federal prosecutors in California brought new charges against Ferizi. The criminal complaint accused him of identity theft and wire fraud by coordinating with a family member to preserve access to email accounts that included large amounts of stolen data.
Ferizi's lawyers filed to have the new charges dismissed, accusing the Justice Department of vindictive prosecution because agents were upset by Ferizi's early release.
On March 22, just before a court hearing was scheduled in California to consider the accusation of vindictive prosecution, the new charges against Ferizi were all dropped.
Brinkema, in her April 1 order, said prosecutors in California built their case on information from a fellow inmate of Ferizi with a history of unreliability.
She wrote that the circumstances of the case lead her to conclude that “there were elements within the Department of Justice who were so dissatisfied with this Court's decision to release defendant ... that they purposely tried to evade these decisions by filing very weak new charges against the defendant.”
Prosecutors have argued that, now that the pandemic has subsided, the rationale for compassionate release no longer exists.
Brinkema, though, said “it would set a terrible precedent to reverse the decision to release a defendant based on a change of circumstances caused by the government's manipulation of the criminal justice system.”
Brinkema's ruling is unlikely to be the final word on Ferizi's fate. Prosecutors have asked the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of appeals in Richmond to overturn Ferizi's release.
Ferizi was among a relatively small number of inmates who successfully sought early release from prison under the pandemic. According to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, more than 12,000 inmates filed motions for compassionate release in 2020 because of the pandemic. About 21% of those requests — a little more than 2,500 inmates — were granted.
A public defender representing Ferizi and a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia each declined comment.

PEMBROKE, Ga. (AP) — Southerners were clearing trees from roads and buildings as weather forecasters planned to survey damage from several possible tornadoes in Georgia and South Carolina, but said that effort could be interrupted by the potential for more storms Wednesday.
Tuesday’s storms killed at least two people — one in Texas and another in Georgia — and left thousands of people without power across the South.
More than 7,000 customers in Texas and more than 5,000 in Georgia remained without power early Wednesday, according to PowerOutage.us, which tracks outages nationwide.
In Bryan County, Georgia, just west of Savannah, a state of emergency was declared and a curfew was in effect through early Wednesday morning to prevent trespassing in tornado-damaged areas near the communities of Pembroke and Ellabell areas.
A woman died Tuesday evening in Bryan County, where a suspected tornado ripped part of the roof from the Bryan County courthouse, destroyed the entrance to a local government building across the street and damaged homes in nearby neighborhoods, said Matthew Kent, a county government spokesperson. Several other people were injured in the county, he said.
In east Texas, W. M. Soloman, 71, died when storm winds toppled a tree onto his home in Whitehouse, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) southeast of Dallas, Whitehouse Mayor James Wansley said.
As the storms moved into South Carolina late Tuesday, debate was delayed for nearly an hour in the South Carolina legislature after the state House chamber was evacuated for a tornado warning for Columbia. The legislation being debated would require athletes to compete with the gender listed on their birth certificates.
In Alabama, the weather service said it was sending survey teams to examine potential tornado damage in the Wetumpka area. Lightning struck a flea market in the northern Alabama community of Lacey’s Spring, causing a fire that gutted the building, news outlets reported.
In Mississippi, fallen trees and limbs closed a stretch of highway for hours in Newton County.
Several tornadoes are expected across a large part of the South on Wednesday, the national Storm Prediction Center said. Parts of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee will be at greatest risk of severe weather. That area of heightened risk includes several large cities, including Atlanta; Birmingham, Alabama; and Knoxville, Tennessee.

The European Commission (EC) said on April 6 that it would offer technical support to help 17 EU countries, among them Bulgaria, to phase out their reliance on Russian fossil fuels, in line with the REPowerEU plan for more affordable, secure and sustainable energy.
“The technical expertise will help member states to identify and implement the best policy reforms and investments in areas such as diversifying energy supplies, accelerating the transition to renewable energy and increasing energy efficiency, in order to reach these joint European ambitions,” the EC said.
Member states that requested and will receive this support over the coming months are Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland, the Commission said.
European Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Elisa Ferreira, said: “Alongside the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, member states are confronted with an unprecedented energy crisis.
“The Technical Support Instrument will provide targeted, tailor-made and timely support to each of these member states’ rapidly changing needs,” Ferreira said.
On March 21 2022, in the aftermath of Russia’s aggression to Ukraine, the Commission launched a dedicated call inviting EU countires to express their interest in receiving technical support.
All the requests submitted by the member states have been assessed and approved by the Commission, the EC said.
The expertise is provided under the Technical Support Instrument (TSI), managed by the Commission.
It will support phasing out EU countries’ reliance on Russian fossil fuels and help in mitigating price shocks in the medium term, including by accelerating the EU’s green transition, while taking the interregional and cross-border dimensions into account, the statement said.

Electra Battery Materials announces commercial pact with Glencore
Dec. 30, 2021 7:34 AM ETElectra Battery Materials Corporation (ELBMF)By: Meghavi Singh, SA News Editor1 Comment
- Electra Battery Materials (OTCQX:FTSSF) has signed a five-year cobalt tolling contract and amended the previous concluded five-year cobalt hydroxide feed purchase agreement with Glencore.
- Pursuant to which it intends to produce a traceable, low carbon battery grade cobalt product for the electric vehicle market.
- First production of battery grade cobalt sulfate is anticipated in Q4 2022.
- The amended agreement largely reflects the original cobalt hydroxide purchase agreement and is for the remaining quantities from the original contract that are not part of the tolling arrangement.
- As part of its commitment to sustainable production, Electra intends to join the Fair Cobalt Alliance and adopt the Cobalt Institute's Cobalt Industry Responsible Assessment Framework.
- To date, Electra has concluded feed supply contracts with Glencore and IXM SA for a total for 4,500 tonnes of contained cobalt per year for a five-year term.
- Both Glencore and Electra expect the battery-grade cobalt sulfate produced at the Canadian refinery to command a premium above normal market prices.
- The tolling agreement will provide Glencore with the option to toll approximately 1,000 tonnes of contained cobalt through the Refinery on an annual basis.
- If exercised each year, the quantity of cobalt tolled with Glencore will represent 20% of the initial 5,000 tonnes per annum production of the refinery, and 15% of the expanded 6,500 tpa production rate.
- The purchase price for this cobalt hydroxide will continue to be linked to the prevailing market price of cobalt hydroxide.
- All conditions precedent included in the original contract have been removed.

PEMBROKE, Ga. (AP) — Southerners were clearing trees from roads and buildings as weather forecasters planned to survey damage from several possible tornadoes in Georgia and South Carolina, but said that effort could be interrupted by the potential for more storms Wednesday.
Tuesday’s storms killed at least two people — one in Texas and another in Georgia — and left thousands of people without power across the South.
More than 7,000 customers in Texas and more than 5,000 in Georgia remained without power early Wednesday, according to PowerOutage.us, which tracks outages nationwide.
In Bryan County, Georgia, just west of Savannah, a state of emergency was declared and a curfew was in effect through early Wednesday morning to prevent trespassing in tornado-damaged areas near the communities of Pembroke and Ellabell areas.
A woman died Tuesday evening in Bryan County, where a suspected tornado ripped part of the roof from the Bryan County courthouse, destroyed the entrance to a local government building across the street and damaged homes in nearby neighborhoods, said Matthew Kent, a county government spokesperson. Several other people were injured in the county, he said.

In east Texas, W. M. Soloman, 71, died when storm winds toppled a tree onto his home in Whitehouse, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) southeast of Dallas, Whitehouse Mayor James Wansley said.
As the storms moved into South Carolina late Tuesday, debate was delayed for nearly an hour in the South Carolina legislature after the state House chamber was evacuated for a tornado warning for Columbia. The legislation being debated would require athletes to compete with the gender listed on their birth certificates.
In Alabama, the weather service said it was sending survey teams to examine potential tornado damage in the Wetumpka area. Lightning struck a flea market in the northern Alabama community of Lacey’s Spring, causing a fire that gutted the building, news outlets reported.
In Mississippi, fallen trees and limbs closed a stretch of highway for hours in Newton County.
Several tornadoes are expected across a large part of the South on Wednesday, the national Storm Prediction Center said. Parts of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee will be at greatest risk of severe weather. That area of heightened risk includes several large cities, including Atlanta; Birmingham, Alabama; and Knoxville, Tennessee.

Jurors enter third day of deliberations in trial of men charged with plotting to kidnap Michigan governor
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - Jurors entered a third day of deliberations Wednesday in a trial that centers on a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker disclosed that the jury had asked for sticky notes. He also told lawyers that two jurors saw him outside the courthouse. Their reaction: "Wow, you look so different without your robe," the judge said.
Adam Fox, Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta are charged with a kidnapping conspiracy. Three of them also face additional charges, including conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, namely an explosive.
The trial has covered 18 days since March 8, including 13 days of testimony.
Prosecutors said the conspiracy against Whitmer was fueled by anti-government extremism and anger over her COVID-19 restrictions. The men trained with a crudely built "shoot house" to replicate her vacation home in September 2020, according to testimony.
Fox and Croft, traveled to Elk Rapids, Michigan, that same weekend to see the location of the governor’s lakeside property and a nearby bridge, evidence showed. Harris and Caserta have been described as "soldiers" in the scheme.
More coverage of the Whitmer kidnapping plot can be found here
Another man, Ty Garbin, who pleaded guilty, said the goal was to get Whitmer before the fall election and create enough chaos to create a civil war and stop Joe Biden from winning the presidency.
Defense lawyers attacked the government’s investigation and the use of a crucial informant, Dan Chappel. They claimed Chappel was the real leader, taking direction from the FBI and keeping the group on edge while recording them for months.
Croft is from Bear, Delaware, while the others are from Michigan.
Whitmer, a Democrat, rarely talks publicly about the plot, though she referred to "surprises" during her term that seemed like "something out of fiction" when she filed for reelection on March 17.

She has blamed former President Donald Trump for fomenting anger over coronavirus restrictions and refusing to condemn right-wing extremists like those charged in the case.

Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, says Jamaica has engaged in a process of consultation with Heads of CARICOM regarding the possible candidature of Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator the Hon. Kamina Johnson Smith, for the position of Secretary-General of the Commonwealth.
Mr. Holness also informed that discussions had also been held to seek a better understanding of their thinking about the leadership of the organisation.
He made the disclosure during a statement in the House of Representatives on Tuesday (April 5).
“With very limited exception, the responses of the Heads of State and Government as well as foreign ministers with whom we have engaged across regions, have been extremely encouraging, with several of them voluntarily committing to seek support for the candidature from their regional colleagues,” Prime Minister Holness said.
“On the strength of that feedback and, more importantly, my personal knowledge of the minister’s unwavering commitment to public service in the interest of global development, we took a sovereign decision to put forward our candidature that has demonstrated the skill, energy and competence to bring unity, accountability and focus to leadership of the Secretariat and the wider Commonwealth family,” he added.
The incumbent Secretary-General of the Commonwealth is Baroness Patricia Scotland.
A decision on the appointment of a Secretary-General is to be made during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, to take place from June 20 to 25 in Kigali, Rwanda.
Mr. Holness informed that he spoke with the Chairman of CARICOM, Prime Minister of Belize, Hon. John Briceno, on the developments and that CARICOM Heads of Government will meet tomorrow to revisit this issue, which has been on the agenda of several meetings since 2020.
“We can unequivocally say that Heads are aware that there has never been a unanimous position of support for the incumbent,” he stated.
Mr. Holness said CARICOM member states have previously raised the question as to whether “we should seek to identify an alternative Caribbean candidate”.
“We believe that Jamaica’s candidature, a Caribbean candidate, is good for the region and the wider Commonwealth. We are providing an alternative in response to persisting issues and the strong positive response to consultations on Minister Johnson Smith’s candidacy. Against this background, there is no need to position the decision of Jamaica as controversial or divisive. It is never Jamaica’s intention to seek to divide our CARICOM family,” he said.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Holness said there is no correlation between Minister Johnson Smith’s candidature and the State Visit of Rwanda President Paul Kagame, to Jamaica next week.
He said the Government looks forward to hosting the leader of one of the most progressive countries on the African continent.
Notably, President Kagame will be the incoming Chairman-in-Office of the Commonwealth Conference of Heads of State and Government for the coming two years.
“Jamaica is mindful of the importance of not compromising his neutrality in that capacity and will, therefore, not include the issue of Minister Johnson Smith’s candidature on the agenda of our bilateral discussions. However, his government has been advised of the candidature through the appropriate diplomatic channels,” Mr. Holness said.

Melani McAlister, George Washington University
(THE CONVERSATION) In February 2022, evangelical leader Franklin Graham called on his followers to pray for Vladimir Putin. His tweet acknowledged that it might seem a “strange request” given that Russia was clearly about to invade Ukraine. But Graham asked that believers “pray that God would work in his heart so that war could be avoided at all cost.”
The backlash was fast and direct. Graham had not solicited prayers for Ukraine, some observers commented. And he had rarely called on believers to pray for U.S. President Joe Biden.
A significant subset of the U.S. evangelical community, particularly white conservatives, has been developing a political and emotional alliance with Russia for almost 20 years. Those American believers, including prominent figures such as Graham and Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice see Russia, Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church as protectors of the faith, standing against attacks on “traditional” and “family” values. At the center is Russia’s spate of anti-LGBTQ laws, which have become a model for some anti-trans and anti-gay legislation in the U.S.
Now, with Russia bombing churches and destroying cities in Ukraine, the most Protestant of the former Soviet Republics, American evangelical communities are divided. Most oppose Russia’s actions, especially because there is a strong evangelical church in Ukraine that is receiving attention and prayers from a range of evangelical leaders.
Nonetheless, a small group of the most conservative American evangelicals cannot quite break up with their long-term ally. The enthusiasm for Russia is embodied by Graham, who in 2015 famously visited Moscow, where he had a warm meeting with Putin.
On that trip, Putin reportedly explained that his mother had kept her Christian faith even under Communist rule. Graham in turn praised Putin for his support of Orthodox Christianity, contrasting Russia’s “positive changes” with the rise of “atheistic secularism” in the U.S.
But it was not always so. Once upon a time, American evangelicals saw the Soviet Union and other communist countries as the world’s greatest threat to their faith.
They carried out dramatic and illegal activities, smuggling Bibles and other Christian literature across borders. And yet, today, Russia, still a country with low church attendance and little government tolerance for Protestant evangelism, has become a symbol of the conservative values that some American evangelicals proclaim.
Bible smuggling
Starting in the 1950s, but intensifying in the 1970s and 1980s, U.S. and European evangelicals presented themselves as intimately linked to the Christians who were suffering at the hands of communist governments.
One evangelical group that emerged at this time was “Open Doors,” whose main aim was to work for “persecuted Christians” around the world. It was founded by “Brother Andrew” Van der Bijl, a Dutch pastor who smuggled Bibles into the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
Brother Andrew and other evangelicals argued that what Christians in communist countries really needed were Bibles – reflecting how important personal Bible reading is in evangelical faith.
Brother Andrew turned the smuggling into anti-communist political theater. As he headed toward the border in a specially outfitted vehicle with a hidden compartment that might hold as many as 3,000 Bibles, he prayed. According to one ad that ran in Christian magazines, he said:
“Lord, in my luggage I have forbidden Scriptures that I want to take to your children across the border. When you were on earth, you made blind eyes see. Now I pray, make seeing eyes blind. Do not let the guards see these things you do not want them to see.”
Van der Bijl’s memoir, “God’s Smuggler,” became a bestseller when it was published in 1967.
Taking Jesus to the communist world
By the early 1970s, there were more than 30 Protestant organizations engaged in some sort of literature smuggling, and there was an intense, sometimes quite nasty, competition between groups.
Their work depended on their charismatic leaders, who often used sensationalist approaches for fundraising.
For example, in 1966, a Romanian pastor named Richard Wurmbrand appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Internal Security subcommittee, stripped to the waist and turned to display his deeply scarred back.
A Jewish convert and Lutheran minister, Wurmbrand had been imprisoned twice by the Romanian government for his activities as an “underground” minister before he finally escaped to the West in 1964.
Standing shirtless before U.S. senators and the national news media, Wurmbrand testified, “My body represents Romania, my country, which has been tortured to a point that it can no longer weep. These marks on my body are my credentials.”
The next year, Wurmbrand published his book, “Tortured for Christ,” which became a bestseller in the U.S. He founded his own activist organization, “Jesus to the Communist World,” which went on to engage in a good bit of attention-grabbing behavior.
In May 1979, for example, two 32-year-old men associated with the group flew their small plane over the Cuban coast, dropping 6,000 copies of a pamphlet written by Wurmbrand. After the “Bible bombing,” they lost their way in a storm and were forced to land in Cuba, where they were arrested and served 17 months in jail before being released.
As I describe in my book “The Kingdom of God Has No Borders,” critics hammered these groups for such provocative approaches and hardball fundraising. One leading figure in the Southern Baptist Convention complained that the practice of smuggling Bibles was “creating problems for the whole Christian witness” in communist areas.
Another Christian activist, however, admitted that the activist groups’ mix of faith and politics was hard to beat and had the ability to draw “big bucks.”
After communism: Islam and homosexuality
These days, there is little in the way of swashbuckling adventure to be had in confronting communists. But that does not mean an end to the evangelical focus on persecuted Christians.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, advocates turned their attention to the situation of Christians in Muslim-majority countries. Evangelicals in Europe and the U.S. increasingly focused on Islam as both a competitor and a threat. Putin’s war against Chechen militants in the 1990s, and his more recent intervention on behalf of Bashar al-Assad’s government in Syria, made him popular with Christian conservatives. Putin claimed to be protecting Christians while waging war against Islamic terrorism.
Meanwhile, Putin’s policies of cracking down on evangelism do not seem to overly bother some of his conservative evangelical allies. When Putin signed a Russian law in June 2016 that outlawed any sharing of one’s faith in homes, online or anywhere else but recognized church buildings, some evangelicals were outraged, but others looked away.
This is in part because American evangelicals in the 2010s continued to see Putin as being willing to openly support Christians in what they saw as a global war on their faith. But the more immediately salient issue was Putin’s opposition to LGBTQ+ rights and nontraditional views of the family.
Graham was among those who waxed enthusiastically about Russia’s so-called gay propaganda law, which limits public material about “nontraditional” relationships. Others, such as the World Congress of Families and the Alliance Defending Freedom, have long been cultivating ties with Russian politicians as well as the Russian Orthodox Church.
Putin allies on defensive
In the 21st century, then, the most conservative wing of evangelicals was not promoting its agenda by touting the number of Bibles transported across state lines, but rather on another kind of border crossing: the power of Putin’s reputation as a leader in the resurgent global right.
Now, the invasion of Ukraine has put Putin’s allies on the defensive. There are still those, including the QAnon-supporting 2020 Republican candidate for Congress Laura Witzke, who explained in March 2022 that she identifies “more with Putin’s Christian values that I do with Joe Biden.” But Graham himself emphasized to the Religion News Service that he does not support the war, and his humanitarian organization Samaritan’s Purse sent several teams to Ukraine to operate clinics and distribute relief.
For the moment, Putin’s status as the global right’s moral vanguard is being severely tested, and the border-crossing advocates of traditional marriage may find themselves on the brink of divorce.

Sean Penn appeared on both Fox News and MSNBC Tuesday night to advocate in support of Ukraine.
In February, the actor was in Ukraine shooting a documentary for Vice about the Russian invasion of the country. He has since traveled between Ukraine and Poland.
Penn revealed how he had first been in touch with Sean Hannity, and how he landed on his show.
"I made the first phone call to you," Hannity said. "Do you remember what you first said to me?"
Penn responded: "I said 'I don't trust you. But we have to get on with life.' We all talk about how divisive things are, how divided things are here. When you step into a country of incredible unity, you realize what we've all been missing. I don't think I've got time to indulge my lack of trust, which becomes a petty thing. These people are fighting for the dreams and aspirations of all of us Americans."
The two managed to stay on level ground, with Penn talking about meeting President Zelensky. "In him, I saw something I'd never seen before," Penn said.
On MSNBC, Penn appeared on "The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell," where he also praised the people of Ukraine.

Great leaders are great listeners. Listening seems like such a basic human skill. Shouldn’t we all be doing it well by the time we join the workforce? You might think so, but in many places and interactions, the answer is no. In engagement surveys across industries, employees rate the feeling that they’re not being listened to as one of the top reasons they become disengaged.
Here are proactive things you can do to cultivate the discipline of good listening.
1. Stay focused and present
First, commit to being not 100% present but 110% present when you’re listening to someone speak because it’s easy to get distracted. The 10 points above 100% mean you are practicing self-awareness, discipline, and intention. Aside from making that conscious commitment, one way to do this is to make sure to carve out enough time to have real conversations, especially if it’s important. In a group setting, never rush the speaker. Allow them to finish their thought fully before moving on to the next person or giving your own response.
Leadership guru Simon Sinek takes it a step further and encourages leaders to “be the last to speak.” This sets the stage for everyone to be heard, to get all the contributions from the group, and it models respectful listening. It’s also an advantage in that you learn the opinions of others before you give yours.
2. Ask lots of questions
Don’t be afraid to be curious. Approach listening as an opportunity to learn. Asking questions gives the person talking a chance to express themselves fully, and it should lead to better information and better understanding. Asking questions helps you get clarity, making sure that you don’t walk away thinking that you know what the other person meant when, in fact, you may not.
The questions you might ask often naturally evolve from the conversation, but even simple open-ended questions can help. For example, you might ask, “Is there anything else I should know that I didn’t specifically ask you about?”
While the answer to this is often no, I’ve heard some surprising things as a result of this question. Not only do the questions themselves yield information that can lead to better understanding but also the process of asking them helps you be more engaged.
Stefano Lucchini, the RFK Human Rights Foundation of Italy chairman, champions the practice of asking himself questions in addition to asking others. He explains: “Before making decisions or speaking about the issues that I’m dealing with, I listen to others. Listening is central to compassion, as compassion involves doing others the service of attempting to understand. I anchor myself by thinking through a set of questions, like, What are they experiencing now in their life? This question helps with me gathering context. There is also, How might they deal with the problems we are discussing? This one helps me understand what they might contribute. Is it possible to do what we are discussing in another way? This helps me think laterally.
“Importantly,” Lucchini adds, “all of these questions place me in a position of using compassion, a sincere desire to understand how others are thinking. I firmly believe that doing so makes for better decisions, better communication, and better outcomes.”
3. Listen with empathy
With empathy, you perceive information through that person’s experience, in a more subjective manner. Do this in addition to hearing the information in a more objective manner. This is core to cultivating empathy in the listening process. The speaker will sense that you are being both objective to facts or data presented and subjective to her point of view about them. Combining both perspectives rounds out the understanding you end up with.
Empathy will always lead to better understanding for the listener in addition to making the speaker feel understood.
4. Pay attention to body language
Nonverbal analysis is more powerful than word analysis. Listening involves more than just spoken words. Never underestimate what is being expressed by the body language that accompanies spoken words. Does the body support or contradict the words being spoken? Is the speaker saying yes while shaking their head no? Are their arms crossed? Are they tapping their foot with impatience, or are they leaning forward with open posture and making eye contact?
You can add immensely to your understanding of what is being said by watching a person’s nonverbal cues, their movement, and the way they look at you (or do not). This is a much greater intensity of involvement because now you are watching somebody as well as listening to their words.
5. Confirm what you heard
Once you’ve done the work of points one through four, you still have to make sure that you got the speaker’s meaning and information right, that you and they share the same understanding. If they say, “No, you got it wrong,” ask more questions to clarify. If you fail to confirm, you may (and many leaders do) end up acting on incorrect assumptions. Repeat back what you think you heard often, to confirm it. This is a fundamental communication technique that will most often remove any chance that you get it wrong.
Saying, “If I understood correctly . . .” also serves to bolster the other person’s trust in you as someone they can speak to and be heard correctly by, and that you value their input enough to get it right. And do not be embarrassed to admit you got it wrong. You may discover your admission of missing the mark convinces the other person that you are actively listening.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A federal judge has ordered the immediate release of a computer hacker who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping the Islamic State, and accused the Justice Department of trumping up charges against him to keep him in jail.
The April 1 order from U.S. Judge Leonie Brinkema includes a harsh rebuke of the Justice Department's conduct against Ardit Ferizi. The native of Kosovo is the first person convicted in the U.S. of both computer hacking and terrorism charges.
He pleaded guilty back in 2016 and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He admitted hacking a private company and pulling out the names, email passwords and phone numbers of about 1,300 people with .gov and .mil addresses and turning the data over to the "Islamic State Hacking Division.” The Islamic State published the names with a threat to attack.
In 2020, in the earliest stages of the pandemic, Ferizi sought compassionate release, citing his asthma and obesity as placing him at greater risk of contracting COVID-19.
Brinkema initially denied his request. But Ferizi renewed his request when an outbreak spread through his prison, and Brinkema granted him compassionate release over prosecutors' objections.
Brinkema's ruling resulted in Ferizi's transfer to immigration authorities for deportation. Before he could be deported, though, federal prosecutors in California brought new charges against Ferizi. The criminal complaint accused him of identity theft and wire fraud by coordinating with a family member to preserve access to email accounts that included large amounts of stolen data.
Ferizi's lawyers filed to have the new charges dismissed, accusing the Justice Department of vindictive prosecution because agents were upset by Ferizi's early release.
On March 22, just before a court hearing was scheduled in California to consider the accusation of vindictive prosecution, the new charges against Ferizi were all dropped.
Brinkema, in her April 1 order, said prosecutors in California built their case on information from a fellow inmate of Ferizi with a history of unreliability.
She wrote that the circumstances of the case lead her to conclude that “there were elements within the Department of Justice who were so dissatisfied with this Court's decision to release defendant ... that they purposely tried to evade these decisions by filing very weak new charges against the defendant.”
Prosecutors have argued that, now that the pandemic has subsided, the rationale for compassionate release no longer exists.
Brinkema, though, said “it would set a terrible precedent to reverse the decision to release a defendant based on a change of circumstances caused by the government's manipulation of the criminal justice system.”
Brinkema's ruling is unlikely to be the final word on Ferizi's fate. Prosecutors have asked the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of appeals in Richmond to overturn Ferizi's release.
Ferizi was among a relatively small number of inmates who successfully sought early release from prison under the pandemic. According to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, more than 12,000 inmates filed motions for compassionate release in 2020 because of the pandemic. About 21% of those requests — a little more than 2,500 inmates — were granted.
A public defender representing Ferizi and a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia each declined comment.

EU pushes to end throw-away culture and fast fashion
New EU eco-design rules should help end a European business model of "throw away" tech and fashion, the EU Commission has said.
"It's time to end the model of 'take, make, break, and throw away' that is so harmful to our planet, our health and our economy," Frans Timmermans, an EU commissioner tasked with creating a more green economy, told a news conference in Brussels on Wednesday (30 March). .

He spoke as the European Commission unveiled a new plan to make products in the EU market more durable, reusable and repairable — as part of efforts to improve the contribution of the circular economy to climate policies and waste reduction.
This includes banning greenwashing practices that mislead consumers about the durability or environmental footprint of products.
The EU expanded eco-design rules, which currently apply only to energy-related products, to other categories — will in future potentially include electronics, textiles, furniture, mattresses, and tyres.
The EU produces about four million tons of electronic waste, but less than 40 percent is recycled.
This will oblige traders of regulated products to meet information and labelling requirements, for example, on the level of reparability of products.
Manufacturers would also have to create a 'digital product passport' with complementary information for repairers or recyclers such as details of recycled content of a material or supply chain issues.
And consumers will have the right to be informed about how long products last and how they can be repaired. This information could be included in the label or the company's website.
"If products break we should be able to fix them. A smartphone should not lose its functionality just because the battery [performance] declines," Timmermans said.
New rules also aim to stop the destruction of unsold products — with the EU mulling a ban on such practices. As a first step, large companies will have to publicly disclose information about the unsold consumer goods they discard per year.
The fashion industry has received special attention in the circular economy commission's proposal since today fewer than one percent of clothes and footwear are recycled.
Fast fashion is cheap but shopping habits are changing — given the environmental impact of EU textile consumption, links to cheap labour and proof of low standards for chemical use.
EU environment commissioner, Virginijus Sinkevičius, specifically called for an end to fast fashion by 2030, arguing that people are tired of fabrics that tear after a few washes.
"By 2030 textiles placed on the EU market should be long-lived and recyclable, made to a large extent of recycled fibres," he said, speaking alongside Timmermans Wednesday.
The EU wants to introduce mandatory requirements to increase textile performance and recyclability, as well as adding design requirements to reduce microplastic pollution from textiles made of synthetic fibres.
Fears have emerged that increasing the sustainability of products would make goods more expensive, increasing the burden on vulnerable families and businesses at a time of already sky-high inflation.
But Sinkevičius said "it is not entirely true that the products are going to become more expensive" due to the new EU eco-design rules.
Existing sustainability requirements have already saved billions of euros for Europeans, he said. Eco-design standards for energy-related products saved consumers €120bn in 2021 alone, ]according to commission estimates.

The Chairman of Oye Local Government Area in Ekiti, Mr Sunday Ajimoko, has warned residents against late night journeys to avoid being kidnapped by gunmen.
Ajimoko, who gave the warning in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Oye-Ekiti, urged residents who were fond of embarking on late night journeys to desist because most kidnappers attacked during the night.
“I want to urge residents who are fond of embarking on late night journey to desist from such habit.
“The roads are no longer safe for anybody to be on the road beyond 9 p.m. because some of these gunmen perpetrate their evil acts at night.
“The security agencies are already working tirelessly to curb kidnapping in our communities, but we must also be security conscious,” he said.
Ajimoko advised residents to always give proper details about their journey to their family members to enable them to know their movement.
The chairman also urged landlords to ensure the identity of their tenants to avoid habouring criminals and for safety of their lives and properties. (NAN)

Wollaston Doc Shop staff 'booted out' as popular Dr Martens outlet to close
The Doc Shop has been selling bargain boots and shoes for decades
Wollaston’s iconic Dr Martens outlet store, known as the Doc Shop, is to close permanently this summer.
As the factory shop for one of the fashion world’s most famous brands, the store attracts visitors from across the globe as well as canny locals looking to pick up a bargain pair of Docs shoes and boots.
The Griggs family had been making boots for six decades before the Dr Martens boot was born and they sold the brand in 2014 to the Permira investment group, which retained its Wollaston HQ and shop. But on Tuesday (April 5) the 14 members of staff were informed of the shop’s closure.
A member of staff who wished to remain anonymous said: "They have given us three months. We have been booted out even though it’s really successful. I’m devastated, angry and disgusted."
Based down the High Street from the Cobbs Lane Airwair HQ, the factory outlet has been selling its range of quality shoes and boots at big discounts.
But when it closes there will no longer be a Doc Shop in the county where they come from.
The employee said: “Customers come from the USA and Japan. It’s a ludicrous decision. There were floods of tears – the guy telling us couldn’t look us in the eye. They said there might be other roles in the business for us.
"I didn’t expect Dr Martens to treat us like this.”
A Dr Martens spokesman said: “We are always reviewing our store estate to ensure it works well for the brand and our customers right across the world.
“Our Doc Shop outlet was originally set up to sell end-of-line products and excess stock but due to the continued success of our business, we no longer have enough of this type of stock to continue to trade from this outlet.
“This has been a difficult decision to make as the Doc Shop has played an integral part in the business for a long time and has close ties to our factory and Cobbs Lane.
“We have now entered into a formal consultation process with all team members impacted by the situation and hope to be able to offer them alternative roles across our business.”
The factory has been in business for 120 years, and throughout the firm’s ups and downs. In 2003, Northamptonshire’s Airwair factories were closed and manufacturing was out-sourced to China.
With a resurgence in sales the brand has been revitalised with a Made in England brand, made at the Wollaston factory, even featuring in an Inside the Factory special with Gregg Wallace.
In 1960 the Griggs family spotted an advert in a trade magazine for a shoe, created by German solicitor Dr Klaus Maertens. After getting an exclusive licence and making a few key changes, the boots were branded as ‘Airwair’ and came complete with a black and yellow heel loop featuring the brand name and the slogan ‘With Bouncing Soles’.
Taking its name from the date of its inception – April 1, 1960 – the eight-holed 1460 Dr. Martens boot had arrived.

Dreams, travels and imagination have always played important roles in creating an Hermès timepiece. This year, at Watches & Wonders 2022, Hermès once again astounds us with its wondrous take on the world-time complication (the brand’s first) and dreamy métiers d’art watches in the Arceau line.
Arceau Le temps voyageur
No doubt this year’s highlight at Hermès is the Arceau Le temps voyageur, the house’s first world-time complication with a twist. The “Travelling time” mechanism was developed exclusively for Hermès by watch movement specialists Chronode, who created a disc-type display of 24 time zones, which revolves around an imagined world map by artist Jérôme Colliard for the “Planisphère d’un monte équestre” scarf.
The satellite mechanism recalls the revolving disks on the magnificent Arceau L’heure de la lune from 2019, cementing this poetic display as a new signature for Hermès watchmaking.
The mobile counter (displaying the travel time) and the home time indication at 12 o’clock are driven by a 122-component module that is integrated within the Hermès H1837 mechanical self-winding movement. Two Arceau Le temps voyageur models are available: a 41mm-diameter platinum version with a matte black DLC-treated titanium bezel and a 38mm-diameter steel version with a blue dial.
Arceau Les folies du ciel
Yet another tribute to travel, and to the skies, is the Arceau Les folies du ciel. The Arceau watch design, by Henri d’Origny in 1978, is the perfect canvas for Hermè’s metiers d’art. Inspired by Loïc Dubigeon’s “Les folies du ciel” scarf, created in 1984, the watch pays tribute to aerostatics and captures the first moments of flight for mankind.
This almost impossible to imagine dream is captured by Hermès artisans in painting, engraving and animation. On the mother-of-pearl dial, two neoralite pink and green hot-air balloons billow in the wind. The two balloons are attached to a hand-painted white gold gondola in the shape of a bird (the original symbol of travel and migration). At 12 o’clock is another hand-painted and applied animated balloon. The balloon functions as a balance and spins on its axis along with the wearer’s wrist movements. The 38mm white gold watch is limited to 24 pieces only.
Arceau Pocket Cheval Punk
Engraving, enamelling and Haute Horlogerie come together in a unique-piece tourbillon minute repeater pocket watch, with a punk horse motif designed by Daiske Nomura in 2021 for a men’s silk scarf. The Japanese illustrator was inspired by a figurine from the Emile Hermès collection. It took Hermès’ master engraver hundreds of hours to bring the silhouette to life before the dial was painted and crafted in champlevé enamel. The 48mm white gold case houses the H1924 tourbillon minute repeater movement.

Special to Dow Jones Newswires
Rwanda's gross domestic product grew by almost 11% in 2021, largely due to its swift pandemic response and accelerated vaccination campaign, the International Monetary Fund said late Tuesday.
The economy rebounded after contracting 3.4% the year before, IMF mission head Haimanot Teferra, said in a statement.
However, the outlook for 2022 is clouded by Ukraine war effects and related uncertainties which are likely to put the economy under strain, the IMF mission said.
"Although the magnitude of the impact is difficult to foresee at this juncture, staff will revise growth projections down relative to the previous review, with risks tilted to the downside." Ms. Teferra said.
Higher global energy and commodity prices will fuel inflationary pressure and widen the current account deficit further this year, Ms Teferra said.
The annual Inflation rate rose to 5.8% in February from 4.3% in January, driven by rising food and global energy prices, prompting the central bank to raise the key lending rate by 50 basis points to 5%, she said. "Policy priorities are to contain inflationary pressures and support the most vulnerable in the face of rising energy and food prices while preserving fiscal discipline, safeguarding financial stability, and staying the course with the reform agenda for strong and inclusive growth," Ms Teferra said.
In December, Rwanda registered inflation of 1.9% on year, according to the country's statistics bureau.

A God of War Ragnarok developer anticipates new mechanics
Heat Kratos you go out.
The reboot of God of War that we lived in 2018 revolutionized a large part of the lovers of this saga, being mostly for the good. The introduction of completely new mechanics to the franchise back then managed to wow a lot of people, so it’s only natural that shortly after that we’re going to get a direct sequel to this one. Specifically, God of War Ragnarok was officially announced during one of the video game events that would come to PlayStation 5, although we could only see a small logo teaser. Later, this title was delayed for the year 2022, and some time later, during another PlayStation event, the first gameplay of the game was shown.
If there is something that we can all agree on when we see that gameplay, it is that this title does not seem to innovate too much with respect to the first part, that is, that it would be a very continuous video game. The surprise comes when a tweet posted by Beau Anthony Jimenez, a God of War Ragnarok developerimplies that we will see surprises at the playable level.
Specifically, in the aforementioned tweet, this developer points out that he is nervous to see how people will be similarly surprised when God of War Ragnarok arrives, something that would be totally normal if he had not done so in a response to a tweet that contained a video in which a user is surprised by the behavior of the Leviathan axe. Among many others, Kratos’ new weapon was one of the biggest surprises that we got at the playable level during the last titleso it’s hard to see how they could match that surprise.
So excited for players to react similarly to what we’re cooking up on God of War: Ragnarök.
Suffice to say, work has been a blast😊 https://t.co/n1CWGjwdgq
— Beau Anthony Jimenez (@thebeauanthony) April 2, 2022
This may simply be a marketing maneuver, or a developer tremendously excited about his work, something that is totally normal, although it may also be that this God of War Ragnarok holds many more surprises for us than we could see in the trailer. For now we will have to wait to see a new trailer, in which we will also predictably know the official release date of the title, since for now we only know that will be released sometime in 2022.

Which sundresses are on sale?
If you’re enjoying warmer, sunnier spring weather, you’re probably counting down the days until summer arrives so you can enjoy even more sunshine. And if you’re already thinking about upgrading your summer wardrobe, make sure to add a few sundresses to your cart while they’re on sale this week.
Retailers are keenly aware that this summer will see more tourism, gatherings and outings than in the past two years, which is why they’ve begun slashing prices on sundresses. So whether you’re looking for a sweet floral print or a spaghetti-strap style that doubles as a cover-up, you’ll find just what you’re looking for among this week’s sales.
What you need to know about sundresses
What is a sundress?
A sundress is a casual summer dress made with lightweight materials, including cotton, rayon or polyester blends. They’re sleeveless styles with wide necklines, and they usually have flowy or full skirts. Skirt length varies considerably among styles, as hemlines can be cut anywhere between the mid-thigh and ankle.
Sundress prints and colors
Sundresses often have busy floral prints, and they’re not the only patterns or designs you’ll see in these styles. Many sundresses have polka dots, gingham, animal prints or stripes. And if you’re wondering which colors are most popular for sundresses — anything goes. Some styles embrace pastel palettes, while others embrace vibrant yellows, oranges or reds.
How to pull off a sundress this season
Sundresses are quintessential summer fashions, and you’ll need a handful of accessories to pull off the look this season — some of which you might have already.
- Jewelry: Simple, lightweight jewelry pairs well with sundresses, including thin necklaces and hoops. If you’re going for a bolder look, statement necklaces and earrings coordinate well with a sundress’ accent colors.
- Sunglasses: Just about any pair of sunglasses will match a sundress, and this season, some of the most popular styles have retro, boxy and oversized cat-eye silhouettes.
- Bag: Because sundresses have busy prints, opt for a solid-colored handbag. According to Pantone, trending colors for summer include rich purples, yellows and teals. Muted neutrals are also popular, including light gray and pale beige. Straw and woven bags are also popular choices.
- Footwear: Sundresses coordinate well with casual summer footwear, including sandals, flip-flops, espadrilles and canvas slip-ons. If you’d like to dress up your sundress, opt for strappy heels or open-toe pumps.
How much you can expect to spend on sundresses
Basic cotton sundresses cost $50 and below, but they often have short lifespans. Well-made styles, often made with blended materials, hold up to regular wash and wear and run $60-$150. Designer sundresses with fine construction usually cost $200 and above.

Which spray mop is best?
Cleaning with a standard mop can be messy and takes a lot of effort. Mops tend to spread water and dirt and disposing of the mop water can be a challenge, too.
If you’re looking for a faster way to clean your floors, you may want to consider a spray mop. Spray mops don’t require any wringing, and the disposable pad absorbs dirt easily. The Rubbermaid Reveal Spray Microfiber Floor Mop is one of the best spray mops out there. It includes three reusable pads and comes with two refillable cleaning solution bottles.
What to know before you buy a spray mop
Electric vs. manual
Spray mops use various power sources, and others don’t require any power at all for operation.
- Electric spray mops either have to be plugged into a power outlet or are battery-operated. Battery-operated mops use replaceable or rechargeable batteries. Make sure to check the product description and user reviews to see how often you need to replace the battery. Also, check how long the charge will last and how long it takes to charge up.
- Manual mops are more common since they cost less for both the manufacturer and the consumer. You only need to pull on the trigger to activate these mops.
Pads
Spray mop pads are either disposable or reusable.
- Disposable pads can be either single- or multi-use. However, most disposable pads tend to be expensive, which may not be a good fit for regular cleaners. If you only clean occasionally or have limited areas to clean, they’re a great solution.
- Reusable pads are a great option for a few reasons. They are better for the environment and usually scrub your floors more effectively than the disposable ones. They come in various sizes and work on all kinds of surfaces.
Reservoir
The reservoir comes in many forms and capacities. Some have refillable bottles that slide into a dispenser, while others have small reservoirs in the mop head. Make sure to find a reservoir that matches how much cleaning you intend to do.
What to look for in a quality spray mop
Compatible surfaces
You can use spray mops on hard floors such as tile, vinyl, laminate and even bamboo. Pay close attention to the product description, so you know what surfaces your mop works best with. Some spray mops use harsher cleaning solutions, which can damage the surface of your floors instead of cleaning them.
Accessories
Many spray mops have helpful accessories, such as specialized mop heads meant to clean specific surfaces or clean certain messes. For example, grout cleaners are a common accessory.
How much you can expect to spend on a spray mop
Basic manual spray mops typically cost $20-$40. Electric or battery-operated spray mops usually cost between $80-$100, though some can cost as much as $150.
Spray mop FAQ
Do I need to use a pre-packaged or brand-matched cleaning solution?
A. That depends on the spray mop. Many brands have refillable solution bottles, so you can use a pre-packaged solution, mix your own or even fill it with plain water. Some mops, including most Swiffer models, require their brand of cleaning solution. However, some spray lines can become clogged if you use an incompatible solution, so check the product description before making a purchase.
Is it easy to clean with a spray mop?
A. Yes, it’s very easy to clean with a spray mop. The included pads are usually highly absorbent and make it easy to clean off stubborn caked-on messes. And having a spray nozzle means you don’t need to continuously wet the floor or move between wetting your mop pad and actually cleaning.
What’s the best spray mop to buy?
Top spray mop
Rubbermaid Reveal Spray Microfiber Floor Mop
What you need to know: This spray mop comes from a trusted brand and is an effective, ecologically friendly pick.
What you’ll love: It comes with three reusable microfiber pads and two 22-ounce refillable solution bottles. The pads are machine-washable and won’t scratch the floor. It’s a manual spray mop, so you’ll need to spray and clean by using the pull trigger.
What you should consider: Some consumers felt the cleaning pads were too thin. A few users also noticed the nozzle became clogged after using their own cleaning solution.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top spray mop for the money
O-Cedar ProMist Max Microfiber Spray Mop
What you need to know: This low-cost spray mop works well for wet and dry cleaning.
What you’ll love: It uses a reusable and machine-washable cleaning pad. The pads can be used dry for dusting and have scrubbing areas that work especially well on caked-on grime. It’s compatible with all kinds of cleaning solutions and doesn’t require any batteries.
What you should consider: The mop head may detach if you use it with too much force. Some consumers had problems with leaking or clogged spray lines.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon and Home Depot
Worth checking out
Swiffer WetJet Hardwood and Floor Spray Mop
What you need to know: Swiffer is among the best-selling cleaning brands and offers a high-quality spray mop for its customers.
What you’ll love: It comes with everything you need to get started, including the mop, six heavy-duty mop pads, four standard mop pads, one bottle of cleaning solution and four batteries. The pads use lock strips to absorb grime instead of pushing the dirt around. It works on finished wood, laminate and tile.
What you should consider: It doesn’t use reusable pads and requires a Swiffer-brand WetJet solution. Since it requires batteries to operate, it’s more expensive than other options.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon and Home Depot

WASHTENAW COUNTY, MI - Officials have identified a person of interest in multiple suspicious fires in the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti area.
The potential suspect could be connected to fires in Ann Arbor, Pittsfield Township and Ypsilanti Township, said Pittsfield Township Fire Chief Sean Gleason. The fires have not been categorized as arsons, he said, but officials are investigating if they are connected.
One of the suspicious fires occurred March 14 at a commercial building in the 700 block of Airport Boulevard in Pittsfield Township, Gleason said. The building is leased by Advance Local Media, which publishes The Ann Arbor News, and sublet to a distribution company.

New Delhi, April 6
The exports of agricultural products (including marine and plantation products) crossed $ 50 billion, the “highest level ever achieved for agriculture exports”, in 2021-22, according to the Commerce and Industry Ministry.
As per the provisional figures released by DGCI&S, the agricultural exports have grown by 19.92% during 2021-22 to touch $50.21 billion.
“The growth rate is remarkable as it is over and above the growth of 17.66%, at $41.87 billion, achieved in 2020-21 and has been achieved in spite of unprecedented logistical challenges in the form of high freight rates, container shortages etc. This achievement over the past two years will go a long way in realising the Prime Minister’s vision of improving farmers’ income,” according to officials.
Highest ever exports have been achieved for staples like rice ($ 9.65 billion), wheat ($ 2.19 billion), sugar ($ 4.6 billion) and other cereals ($ 1.08 billion).
India has captured nearly 50% of the world market for rice.
Wheat recorded an unprecedented growth of more than 273%, jumping nearly four-fold from $568 million in 2020-21 to touch close to $2119 million in 2021-22.
Increase in exports of these products has benefitted farmers in states like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, they said
Export of marine products at $ 7.71 billion is also the highest ever, benefitting farmers in the coastal states of West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra and Gujarat.
Spices exports touched $ 4 billion for second year in a row.
Despite facing tremendous supply side issues, coffee exports have crossed $ 1 billion for the first time, which has improved realisations for coffee growers in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
“Outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic during first quarter of 2020 resulted in increased demand for staples, which provided an opportunity for increasing agriculture exports. India was able to rise to the occasion and emerge as a reliable supplier of food. Even during the current crisis due to Russia–Ukraine war, the world is looking at India for supplies of wheat and other food grains,” officials said.

Judge Timothy Fancourt told the court that the London-based VTB Capital plc unit was unable to operate and pay its debts due to Western sanctions imposed on VTB since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The order to appoint administrators would not be sealed until the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control issued a licence permitting the action, the judge added.
Western sanctions on Russia have largely cut Moscow off from the global financial system and made some of the international operations of Russian banks unviable.
State-owned VTB, Russia's second-largest bank, had already said last month it planned to close the London-based arm of its investment bank, after laying off some of its staff.
Britain froze VTB's assets on Feb. 24, as part of an early wave of sanctions following the invasion.
As the British-based arm of VTB's investment banking business, VTB Capital Plc lent money to businesses and advised on mergers and corporate fundraising for Russia-related deals.
Judge Timothy Fancourt said the sanctions had caused the company financial difficulties - including its funds being frozen in an account held with its correspondent bank HSBC - and otherwise it was balance sheet solvent.
VTB had already been winding down the London-based unit for several years, the judge said.
More than 60 staff are still employed by VTB's UK unit, the company directors' QC, Daniel Bayfield, told the court.
British regulators did not seek to put the unit in special administration - a form of insolvency designed to protect the wider market - partly due to its recent downsizing, Bayfield said.
VTB rival Sberbank placed its investment arm in London in special administration last week, while London-based broker Sova - controlled by Russian banker Roman Avdeev - entered the same process in March.

Successful Arab-Israeli actor says he does not identify with the State of Israel.
By Adina Katz, World Israel News
A prominent Arab-Israeli actor who rose to fame on Israeli television programs, including the international hit Fauda and the critically acclaimed Arab Work, said he does not consider himself an Israeli entertainer and identifies as a Palestinian during an interview with Channel 12 News on Wednesday.
Salim Daw, 71, has made a name for himself in Israel’s film industry, beginning with theater roles and then gradually recurring spots on mainstream Israeli sitcoms.
He’s slated to play the father of Princess Diana’s lover Dodi Al-Fayed in an upcoming season of the British royal family drama The Crown, marking his biggest role to date.
But despite studying acting at the storied Beit Zvi Hebrew-language acting school and earning his stripes in Israeli productions, Daw said he does not identify with the State of Israel.
Daw told Channel 12 that although he had a leading role in the HBO series Oslo, he was excluded from promotions of the movie within Israel.
“Screenings of the film [for critics] did not mention me at all,” he said. But then, when [news] about [my role] in The Crown came out, suddenly I was an Israeli actor, an Israeli success story.
“I said, ‘Let’s calm down, guys.’ You made me disappear recently. I’m not an Israeli success, I’m not an Israeli actor. I’m a Palestinian, I’m a Palestinian actor.’”
Notably, Daw had a major role in the movie Let There Be Morning, which featured a predominantly Arab-Israeli cast but was directed and produced by Jewish Israelis.
Although they have Israeli citizenship and the production occurred in Israel, many of the actors in the film objected to the movie being categorized as Israeli at the Cannes Film Festival.
Daw participated in a boycott along with his Arab-Israeli castmates, refusing to attend the opening screening of the film at Cannes shortly after the May 2021 Israel-Gaza clash Operation Guardian of the Walls.
In a statement, the cast said they were skipping the event in protest of Israel’s alleged apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and colonial oppression of Palestinians,
Daw demurred when asked by Channel 12 if he agreed with that sentiment.
“They’re not ethnically cleansing me, but I belong to the [Palestinian] people. I cannot leave the house and say: I do not care, I do not hear, I do not see. I see, my heart aches for what is happening.”
He added thateven though he is a “part of Israeli cinema,” he feels like he is “unwanted” and doesn’t “belong to this country.”
“I do not belong to either side,” he said. “That is my bitter truth.”

Scientists have discovered microplastics in live human lungs for the first time.
Researchers from the University of Hull and Hull York Medical School also found microplastics in the deepest section of the lung, which was previously thought to be impossible due to how narrow the airways are.
Microplastics have previously been found in human cadaver autopsy samples, but this is the first study to show them in lungs from live people.
The research team say the findings show that inhaling microplastics is a route of exposure and will now help direct future studies on the impact microplastics could have on respiratory health.
The study, which has been published in Science of the Total Environment, found 39 microplastics in 11 of the 13 lung tissue samples tested - considerably higher than any previous laboratory tests.
Laura Sadofsky, lead author on the paper, said: "Microplastics have previously been found in human cadaver autopsy samples. This is the first robust study to show microplastics in lungs from live people.
"It also shows that they are in the lower parts of the lung. Lung airways are very narrow so no one thought they could possibly get there, but they clearly have.
"This data provides an important advance in the field of air pollution, microplastics and human health.
"The characterisation of types and levels of microplastics we have found can now inform realistic conditions for laboratory exposure experiments with the aim of determining health impacts."
Surgeons at Castle Hill Hospital in East Yorkshire supplied the live lung tissue, which was collected from surgical procedures carried out on patients who were still alive, as part of their routine medical care. It was then filtered to see what was present.
Of the microplastics detected, there were 12 types, which are commonly found in packaging, bottles, clothing, rope/twine, and many manufacturing processes.
There were also considerably higher levels of microplastics in male patients compared with females.
The study showed 11 microplastics were found in the upper part of the lung, seven in the mid part, and 21 in the lower part of the lung - which was an unexpected finding.
Ms Sadofsky said: "We did not expect to find the highest number of particles in the lower regions of the lungs, or particles of the sizes we found.
"This is surprising as the airways are smaller in the lower parts of the lungs and we would have expected particles of these sizes to be filtered out or trapped before getting this deep into the lungs."
The study follows research published in March by the University of Hull and Hull York Medical School in which scientists recorded high levels of atmospheric microplastics during a year-long study at a site close to a busy northern trunk road.
Researchers found the most abundant microplastics were polyethylene from, for example, degraded plastic packaging or carrier bags; nylon, which may be from clothes; as well as resins, which could come from degraded roads, paint marking or tyre rubber.
They also found microplastics of the size and shape which are inhalable by humans.

Biden Extends Pause on Federal Student-Loan Payments Through August
Loan payments had been scheduled to resume in May, but the president said that could result in economic hardship for borrowers
WASHINGTON—President Biden on Wednesday extended through Aug. 31 the pause on payments of federal student loans, arguing that resuming the payments would impose significant economic hardships on borrowers.
Payments and interest accrual have been suspended for borrowers with federal student loans since March 13, 2020, at the start of the pandemic. The pause was scheduled to expire on May 1.

SEATTLE, April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- An American flag, first flown by the U.S. military in combat, began its more than 10,000 mile "Rolling Remembrance" relay to help raise awareness of, and funds for, Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation, an organization that provides college scholarships and educational counseling to children who have lost a parent in the line of duty.
This is the seventh year that PepsiCo has honored the military heroes who lost their lives while serving the United States through this program. 36 PepsiCo drivers – who happen to be military veterans themselves – will transport the American flag across the country, handing it off to one another at relay points from Seattle to New York.
"Each leg of this journey has meaning, to the driver, the community and the families of fallen patriots that Rolling Remembrance honors," said Jim Farrell, Senior Vice President of Operations, PepsiCo Beverages North America Central Division and Executive Sponsor of PepsiCo Valor employee resource group. "By honoring the sacrifices of these military heroes, supporting their families through Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation, and recognizing our own military veterans at PepsiCo, we celebrate the important role of veterans in our country and in our company."
The flag is now travelling the remainder of its 53-stop relay journey throughout the United States and will conclude at PepsiCo's headquarters in Purchase, N.Y. just before Memorial Day. The annual event is led in partnership with PepsiCo's employee resource group, PepsiCo Valor, which supports veteran PepsiCo employees and veterans in communities across the country.
Approximately 25,000 children have lost a parent in military service over the last 35 years. Through scholarships and educational counseling, Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation helps to bridge the average $25,000 gap between government assistance programs and the cost of a four-year degree that scholars face. To donate to Children of Fallen Patriots foundation, visit https://donate.fallenpatriots.org/RR2022.
"Since 2015, PepsiCo has raised more than $1.4 million in donations, which have had impact on the lives of the Children of Fallen Patriots, their families and their communities," said David Kim, co-founder and CEO of Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation. "Investing in the education of military children who lost a parent in the line of duty is one of the best ways we can honor those who lost their lives defending our country and build up the next generation of leaders."
PepsiCo products are enjoyed by consumers more than one billion times a day in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. PepsiCo generated more than $79 billion in net revenue in 2021, driven by a complementary beverages and convenient foods portfolio that includes Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos, Gatorade, Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, Quaker, and SodaStream.

The topic of ambulance response times has dominated the provincial legislature in recent weeks, and for good reason.
The Island’s two extremities, West Prince and Eastern Kings, have been dealing with inadequate response times for years. When it’s literally a matter of life and death, that’s a problem.
Earlier this year, George Kinch of Palmer Road died of a heart attack after waiting more than an hour for an ambulance to arrive from Summerside. Just imagine the devastation and rage you would feel if you lost your father or your husband because of insufficient ambulance coverage.
The data for the 2021-22 fiscal year paints an even worse picture for the Souris area. Its median response time has increased from 13:03 in the first quarter of the year to 15:08 in the second quarter to 17:14 in the third. And the median is simply the time in the middle, meaning some have waited much longer.
In spite of all this, Health Minister Ernie Hudson just renewed Medavie’s contract to run Island EMS. It’s possible that renewal was necessary to buy time to find a better solution. But that work has to begin right now if it hasn’t already.
You’ll recall Medavie also manages the mobile mental health units, and their senior operations manager is the brother of Mark Spidel, who was just recently shuffled out of the deputy minister of health job.
This wouldn’t be the first time the province sticks with a favoured company in spite of a subpar job - does the Salvation Army ring a bell?
On March 29, Mermaid-Stratford MLA Michele Beaton said she’d been notified that morning there was only one ambulance available across the entire Island at that moment, in Vernon River. That is comically inadequate.
The province must find a better solution. If this continues, more will die like George Kinch. And that is unforgivable.

When Martinsville (Va.) Speedway officials began installing lights in late 2016 to be used for the 2017 season and beyond, they had aspirations to one day run a NASCAR Cup Series event that started and ended under those lights. That vision became a reality in 2019, when it was announced that there would be a true night race on the half-mile, paperclip-shaped oval in May of 2020, which subsequently was delayed until the summer due to the pandemic.
Fast forward to this weekend and, with changes in the schedule that have occurred since that 2020 debut of night racing there, Martinsville finds itself hosting the first of just three Saturday-night races this season, the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400.
Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M’S Crunchy Cookie Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), heads to the .526-mile short track for 400 laps of racing Saturday night after a strong runner-up finish there last fall.
In addition to his most recent run there, Busch has some impressive statistics at Martinsville. In his last 14 starts there, Busch has two wins to go with nine top-five finishes and 11 top-10s as the M&M’S Crunchy Cookie driver is a staple at the front of the field at the Virginia short track. Martinsville was a much bigger challenge for Busch earlier in his career, especially during his early years racing under the JGR banner. In fact, Busch finished outside the top-10 in three of his first four races there with JGR in 2008 and 2009, but has come into his own at Martinsville, starting with his first championship season in 2015.
Busch will no doubt shine bright under the lights with the scheme for the new M&M’S Crunchy Cookie product adorning his No. 18 Toyota for the second of seven races this season. M&M’S Crunchy Cookie combines two favorite treats – M&M’S and chocolate chip cookies – and is now available nationwide. It’s bound to give race fans a fun, nostalgic snack to enjoy during this weekend’s race.

Tuesday morning, the Nova Scotia government’s Twitter account released a two-minute video of premier Tim Houston and chief medical officer of health Dr. Robert Strang. Houston’s come under a lot of criticism lately for his handling of COVID, particularly because the government dropped most public health rules and stopped giving daily updates about the disease, even though new infections are surging in the official silence. In the video, the peppy premier seems to be addressing those criticisms, but Twitter users have some notes. Here is the full video transcript, with selected annotations.
TIM HOUSTON:
Hey folks!
Is this a briefing? https://t.co/0Uggv9V07W
— Claudia Chender (@ChenderClaudia) April 6, 2022
Tim Houston, premier of Nova Scotia. I'm here with Dr. Robert Strang, chief medical officer for the province of Nova Scotia.
Strang looks like he's in a proof of life video.
— Alex Braden 🇺🇦 (@AJBraden) April 6, 2022
From "Stay the Blazes Home!" to "COVID is all around us--get out there!" 🤦🏻♂️ https://t.co/5hWupFBbY0
Look, let's be clear, COVID-19 is present all around us.
Every time Houston starts a sentence with “Look…” I know the meaning will be “you’re on your own” 🤬🤬 https://t.co/ZRaRPGU8jj

There's lots of COVID around. And it's stubborn. It's not going anywhere, and given how contagious the current strain of this virus is, we are going to see cases rise. They're high now—they could go higher over the next little while—but eventually we'll see them start to come down.
Jesus. “They could go higher” but don’t worry we won’t report that or take the absolute bare minimum of public health measures to prevent it. https://t.co/hwi3YDpgdN

Everyone experiences different emotions
“Different emotions”? If one person uses the crosswalk & waits for the light while another runs across the street in the middle of the block, well, it’s not because they’re experiencing “different emotions.” We know what’s safe & what’s risky—listed at the end of the clip. 😷🧪💉 https://t.co/HC0U6vBCTV

Some people are ready to get back out there!
Oh my God, he’s making “Get back out there” his catch-phrase. @TimHoustonNS, each and every one of the COVID deaths, cancelled surgery deaths, or cases of long Covid we suffer in NS from here on out is ON YOU.

What a legacy. https://t.co/m3cEmmrJs4
While others are more cautious and need more time to adjust.
Not a SINGLE WORD about masking or ventilation for an AIRBORNE ILLNESS I AM SCREAMING https://t.co/wiXX7CRO1e

I can't stress strongly enough the need to continue to take COVID serious.
the captions reading “the need to take covid serious” against a backdrop of extremely palpable anxiety and barely-restrained panic is actually making me laugh semi-hysterically https://t.co/f0figL7Ze6

But you don't need mandates to tell you how to keep your family safe.
“You don’t need mandates to tell you how to keep your family safe” ...but because mandates have all lifted employers are forcing people back to their offices which makes people unable to keep their families safe... https://t.co/KZyxXFYzmf
— THE RIGHT HONOURABLE KATELYN DORCAS (@kdorcas) April 6, 2022
You already know how. Doctor Strang?
It's like Strang has a gun on him and is being forced to read a prepared statement. https://t.co/QToEE2XQfx

ROBERT STRANG:
For most young, healthy, vaccinated people COVID-19 is a relatively mild illness.
“For most people, polio is a mild disease. Therefore, the best approach to living with polio is just to be super condescending to all the scaredy cats who want their elected representatives and public health to do something about it.” #nspoli https://t.co/nA2bEGLpNe
— Jason Haslam #CommitCuriosity (@JazzlamHazzlam) April 6, 2022
But that is not the case for everyone. Sometimes people need to be hospitalized and these are often people who are older or have underlying health conditions. We need to protect them. And we know how to do that.
Not surprised by Houston - we knew there was a 'small govt' Con-man under all that 'Progressive' campaign rhetoric.
— gaw (@nova_gaw) April 6, 2022
Seriously disappointing from @StrangRobert though. Hero to zero in the blink of an eye. Pulling out the "mainly the old and sick" line at this point is disgusting. https://t.co/KfDRcQoX8V
Vaccines offer the best protection against this virus—especially against severe disease—and for most children that means two doses. For most adults, that means three.
This would be more comforting if cases were being monitored, the data was being released to the public on a regular basis, and they were willing to answer questions. https://t.co/1RCnGu7NZz
— Robert Marchand (@MarchandRobertJ) April 6, 2022
Wear a mask in large crowds and an indoor public spaces.
What I still can’t wrap my head around is I know that wearing a mask reduces transmission but I can’t control others wearing masks so why can’t we have a mask mandate? https://t.co/yuGnMUgWBM
— Jack MacLeod (he/him) (@jmacleod) April 6, 2022
Keep your social circles small and consistent.
Use rapid tests as a way to protect the people in your life at highest risk of severe outcomes. And use them anytime you have symptoms or when someone in your household test positive. And if you do test positive, you need to isolate for seven days.
Hey @TimHoustonNS and @StrangRobert, how are people suppose to isolate for 7 days when more than half of Nova Scotia workers do not have access to any paid sick leave? If you actually cared you’d legislate #10PaidSickDays now! https://t.co/3YHoJxUKQO
— Mark Cunningham (@902MarkC) April 6, 2022
And whatever you do, please do it with kindness. Don't judge.
This 'do what's best for you' rhetoric is legit dangerous since all of our health is interdependent.
— Evan Carroll (@evan_carroll_) April 6, 2022
They tell us what we 'should' do but refuse to bear any responsibility for actually taking even basic measures.
Kindness isn't a defence against a virus.
Policies > platitudes. https://t.co/MuFX76oM5A
COVID is challenging us yet again.
@TimHoustonNS at the very least mask mandates should come back. Vaccines alone will not stop covid. We need a layered approach. We are STILL in a pandemic https://t.co/eFFeZaziox
— BrynJV,RSE 'Vaxzveria SpikeVax Von Queer'🌱🌻🌈 (@EPBryn) April 6, 2022
So please keep doing what we all need to do to keep our loved ones and neighbours safe.

Banks in Qatar are increasingly turning to foreign sources of funding due to a big demand for loans from projects related to the 2022 FIFA World Cup and economy diversification. However, this could potentially impact investor confidence, according to a report by Moody's Investors Service, which also observed that resident deposits have been stagnant, leading to a financing gap.
To fill the gap, Qatari banks have "turned to foreign sources of funding that are vulnerable to potential falls in investor confidence, and that could lead to rapid withdrawals and raise systemic risks," Moody's said.
While the Qatari government's willingness and ability to provide support in a crisis provides a backstop, high volumes of foreign funding create vulnerability.
Over the past four years, credit growth in Qatar averaged 9% annually against flat resident deposit growth, said Moody's. To bridge the funding gap, foreign liabilities at Qatari banks increased to a high 39% of total at the end of 2021. The banking sector's net foreign liabilities were $128 billion at end 2021, equivalent to 71% of nominal GDP1, up from 21% of GDP at the end of 2017.
Higher hydrocarbon prices increase domestic liquidity and will slow the pace of foreign funding growth, but external funding reliance will remain high.
Much of the foreign funding comes from price and confidence-sensitive investors and international private banking clients who are apt to pull out in the event of a shock. Additionally, overdependence on foreign funding can transmit and amplify shocks among banks and the economy as liquidity tightens, and potentially lead to borrower over-indebtedness.
To address the risk, banks are diversifying their funding sources and lengthening the maturity of foreign deposits. Funding liabilities maturing in more than one year rose to 31% of total liabilities at the end of 2020 from 12% in May 2017 and liquid assets covered a larger part of short-term liabilities. Longer maturities allow more time to adjust in a funding shock, the report said.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson says it seems “sensible” that transgender women should not be able to compete in female sporting categories.
Johnson made the comments during a visit to a hospital in Welwyn Garden City on Wednesday in the wake of transgender cyclist Emily Bridges being prevented from riding at the National Omnium Championships in Derby last weekend.
Bridges, who began hormone therapy last year, had been due to race for the first time in the female category after British Cycling gave the 21-year-old the green light to enter but Union Cycliste Internationale ruled her ineligible.
“I don’t think that biological males should be competing in female sporting events. And maybe that’s a controversial thing… but it just seems to me to be sensible,” the Prime Minister said.
“That doesn’t mean that I’m not immensely sympathetic to people who want to change gender, to transition. It’s vital that we give people the maximum possible love and support in making those decisions.
“But these are complex issues and I don’t think they can be solved with one swift, easy piece of legislation. It takes a lot of thought to get this right.”
Welsh rider Bridges detailed how she had been “harassed and demonised” in the days after UCI had prevented her from racing at the Derby Velodrome Arena.
She first went public with the challenges she has faced with her gender at the end of 2020 and, while going through hormone therapy, has continued to race in men event’s, winning the men’s points race at the British Universities Championships in Glasgow in February.
Stonewall criticised the intervention of cycling’s world governing body and insisted they were disappointed Bridges had not been given a “fair chance” despite being in full compliance of British Cycling’s competition criteria, with her testosterone levels below five nanomoles per litre for the past 12 months.
“As is no surprise with most of the British media, I’ve been relentlessly harassed and demonised by those who have a specific agenda to push,” Bridges wrote on social-media on Friday.
“They attack anything that isn’t the norm and print whatever is most likely to result in the highest engagement for their articles, and bring in advertising.
“This is without care for the wellbeing of individuals or marginalised groups, and others are left to pick up the pieces due to their actions.”
Bridges continued: “Despite the public announcement, I still have little clarity around their finding of my ineligibility under their regulations.
“I am an athlete, and I just want to race competitively again, within the regulations set by British Cycling and UCI after careful consideration of the research around transgender athletes.
“No one should have to choose between being who they are, and participating in the sport they love.”
British Cycling, in announcing the UCI had ruled Bridges unable to compete, called for a coalition “to share, learn and understand more about how we can achieve fairness.”

InMobi and Anzu announce programmatic in-game ad partnership for Asia-Pacific
The move means InMobi can now provide its advertisers with direct access to Anzu’s mobile programmatic inventory
InMobi today announced a partnership with Anzu.io, an in-game advertising solution. The move means InMobi can now provide its advertisers with direct access to Anzu’s premium mobile programmatic inventory across the globe, in addition to first-look access to in-game mobile supply in Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
Anzu’s in-game advertising solution allows programmatic advertisers to run their banner and video ads via blended yet highly viewable IAB-compliant ad formats that sit on 3D objects like roadside billboards, stadium banners, and buildings. The ads are designed to complement the gameplay, respecting gamers, and in many cases, making the gameplay experience more realistic.
“I’m excited that this partnership with InMobi will help many more APAC advertisers experience the huge opportunity that in-game advertising presents, '' says Itamar Benedy, Co-Founder and CEO, Anzu. “InMobi’s expertise and vast advertiser network, combined with their knowledge of the APAC landscape, will help supercharge our solution within this market. There are more gamers in APAC than anywhere else in the world, and our solution will help brands to reach them in a non-disruptive, brand-safe way that compliments the gaming experience.”
InMobi’s direct connections with top demand-side platforms across the globe, combined with direct supply to Anzu’s global inventory, enable advertisers to access these ad experiences through optimized supply paths. Access to Anzu’s inventory will help InMobi offer scale across a huge number of mobile games spanning multiple genres, allowing advertisers to reach engaged players within immersive environments.
“The biggest advantage of the preferred partnership across Asia-Pacific between InMobi and Anzu is that allows our clients can now seamlessly connect with gamers through blended, non-disruptive ads,” says Vasuta Agarwal, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, at InMobi. “With new features and the goal to drive connections between consumers and brands with Anzu’s premium technology, this partnership will benefit all parties including advertisers and publishers.”
In addition, game developers partnering with InMobi will be able to take advantage of all the benefits that using Anzu’s SDK presents, which is already used by leading game developers including Ubisoft, MyGames, and Sir Studios, to monetize their titles with in-game ads that open up new reliable revenue streams, complement the gameplay, and work alongside other monetization models and solutions. Additionally, InMobi will help gaming publishers tap into global premium demand and seamlessly expand into in-game ad monetization to generate incremental revenue through both standard formats and in-game ads through a single platform.
Ms. Ly, Commercialization Manager for Amanotes, one of South East Asia’s most popular mobile publishers, said: “We have two main goals, to continually improve the user experience and grow our business. Ensuring we keep an equal balance between both can be challenging. Anzu allows us to accomplish both these goals simultaneously. Their in-game ad placements put gamers first and bring a sense of realism to our experiences while allowing us to establish a consistent and reliable revenue stream to help grow our business. The ads also work great alongside the other monetization methods we have in place.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A state commission has selected three finalists Gov. Eric Holcomb will choose from to fill a vacancy on the Indiana Supreme Court when Justice Steven David retires later this year.
The Judicial Nominating Commission voted Tuesday to select as its three finalists Grant Superior Court Judge Dana Kenworthy, state appeals court judge Derek Molter and Justin Forkner, who is the high court's chief administrative officer.
Once the three nominees' names are sent to Holcomb, the Republican will have 60 days to choose one of them as David's successor on the five-justice court.
They were chosen as finalists after commission members interviewed 19 candidates and chose 10 finalists in early March. Those 10 were invited to appear Tuesday for a second round of interviews.
The high court said Tuesday that in selecting the three finalists the commission considered the applicants' “legal education, writings, reputation in the practice of law, and other pertinent information.”
Chief Justice Loretta Rush announced in November that David would retire from the court in the fall of 2022 after 12 years on the court.
David was appointed to the court by then-Gov. Mitch Daniels in 2010 upon the retirement of Justice Ted Boehm and he is the court’s longest-serving current justice.

Nigerian billionaire businessman, Aliko Dangote, has retained the number one spot as the richest person in Africa, with a net worth of $13.9 billion.
He is $1.8 billion richer than he was last year when his net worth was estimated at $12.1 billion.
According to the 2022 Forbes annual billionaire list, the rise in his wealth can be attributed to the 30% increase in the stock price of Dangote Cement, his most valuable asset.
As Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dangote Group, he owns 85% of Dangote Cement which is a publicly-traded company under the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
The next Nigerian on the African Billionaire list is Abdulsamad Rabiu, who occupied the fifth position with a net worth of $7 billion. His wealth is up by $1.5 billion from last year.
Rabiu’s primary source of wealth is BUA Group, a cement, sugar, and real estate conglomerate that he founded. Of the three arms, the cement and sugar companies are the most lucrative.
He owns 98.5% of the cement arm, BUA Cement Plc, which is publicly traded under the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
The sixth on the list is Globacom’s Mike Adenuga with a net worth of $6.7 billion, up by $400 million from last year when he was worth $6.3 billion.
Adenuga is the owner of Globacom, Nigeria’s third-largest telecom company. He is also the owner of Conoil producing, an oil exploration outfit in Nigeria.
His major source of income however is Globacom which has about 55 million subscribers.
THE WHISTLER earlier reported how some Nigerian billionaires maintain their wealth.
Dangote revealed that he always invests his money rather than leaving it sitting in various bank accounts, while Rabiu said he ensures he always conducts business strategically.
Adenuga said the secret to his success is the fact that he always plays a major role in all his businesses. He also attributed his success to his ability to fully understand any business he is venturing going into.
According to the list, the richest people in the world are Tesla’s Elon Musk, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, and fashion mogul, Bernard Arnault & family, owners of LVMH.

Musician and brother of Billie Eilish, Finneas, has broken down how he mastered the pair's 'No Time to Die' James Bond theme song.
Zooming in on each layer of the Oscar-winning song, he explained how the script and previous films in the franchise inspired every instrument.
Focusing on the 'train whistle' element, he described how the scene right before the song where Bond puts Léa Seydoux on a train encouraged him to add it.
"That paired with the piano I thought was this really cool way to set the mood," he said.

PDSA Paw Time - Vet’s key tips to keep your pets safe in spring months
As we begin to enjoy longer days, flowers blooming and all the joys of spring, you may find yourself spending more time outside exploring with furry family members.
PDSA is the UK’s largest vet charity, on a mission to improve pet wellbeing through prevention, education and treatment. Support from players of People’s Postcode Lottery helps us reach even more pet owners with vital advice and information.
Visit www.pdsa.org.uk website.
PDSA vet nurse Nina Downing said: “Being in the great outdoors has many benefits to physical and mental health, for humans and four-legged friends alike, but it’s important to remember to keep our precious pets safe from any hidden dangers that the new season may bring.
Curious by nature. “Our pets are curious creatures, often keen to explore plants and trees, but some can be toxic, or even fatal, if eaten. Whatever the season, it’s important to be aware of the hidden hazards that some of the beautiful new blooms can pose for our four-legged family members. Types to watch out for during springtime include azaleas, daffodils, hyacinth, cotoneasters, geraniums, tulips and irises.
“For avid gardeners, installing fencing will help deter your four-legged friend from areas with lots of plants and bulbs – but be sure to still keep a close eye on them while they’re outside. If you spot your pet eating a potentially dangerous plant, or they suddenly become unwell after being in the garden, contact your vet as quickly as possible.
Safe spring cleaning. “As well as enjoying changes outdoors, you may find yourself wanting to spring clean your home too – but it’s important to keep four-legged friends away from any toxic products.
Many household cleaners such as bleach, oven cleaner, dishwasher tablets and laundry detergents can be very dangerous for our pets -the harsh chemicals can cause burns to wandering paws and can even be fatal if ingested.
The good news is that there are plenty of pet-safe alternatives that are also better for the environment, such as baking soda, vinegar and lemon juice – using these will help you create a gleaming and fresh interior, without any dangers to your furry friend.
“If you do use stronger products, it’s essential to follow instructions and dilute where necessary.
Wipe down floors and surfaces with fresh water after using chemicals to ensure your pet can walk around safely, and don’t forget to empty any mop buckets as soon as you’ve finished.
Be sure to store products well out of reach – if your pet has mastered the art of opening door handles, it’s worth fitting a child proof lock on your cleaning cupboard!
Keeping away from Easter treats
“Humans aren’t the only ones tempted by a chocolatey treat or hot-crossed bun – our pets can sniff them out even when concealed in packaging. Having chocolate in the house can pose a real danger to our precious pets – it contains a substance called theobromine, which can be a substance that is life-threatening to animals if animals happen to consume chocolate.”
Ask our expert
PDSA Vet Nurse Nina Downing answers all your pet questions
Dear PDSA Vet, my dog has started licking her leg quite a lot and it looks really sore, her fur has also started falling out. How can I help her? Amrita
Dear Amrita, firstly, make an appointment with your vet, who can check the sore area for any underlying issues or infection.
Problems like this can originate from an insect bite, scratch or other skin irritation – when your dog licks at the area it becomes even more sore and inflamed and can introduce infection, meaning your dog wants to lick even more.
This creates a vicious circle, so you need to break that loop of behavior - your vet may prescribe treatment to help. Until you can get to the vets, I recommend that you stop your dog from licking the sore skin by using a cone or neck collar so that she can’t reach and gently bathe the area with cooled, previously boiled water.
Dear PDSA Vet, how much exercise does my dog need? Is it better to give her one long walk a day, or several shorter ones? Shelby
Dear Shelby, exercise is essential to maintain a dog’s overall health and wellbeing.
Daily walks are a vital part of your four-legged friend’s routine, as not only do they get your pup moving, but being outdoors stimulates their brain – not to mention being a great form of stress relief.
The amount of exercise your dog needs depends on their breed, age and general health. However, just like humans, every pooch is unique and may have different preferences to others of the same breed, or different health considerations. Most dogs will need at least two walks a day, for those that struggle with exercise, short, more frequent walks will be better.
Dear PDSA Vet, my vet recently prescribed some tablets for my cat but he just won’t take them. I’ve tried disguising them in his food but he just spits them straight out. How can I get him to take them? Danielle
Dear Danielle, giving tablets to our pets is often easier said than done.
Ask your vet if the tablets can be given crushed in food - some tablets can’t be, or need taking on an empty tummy. When mixing with food, mix with a small amount only and one that is smelly, to disguise the smell of the tablets.
Give before his main meal, when he’s hungry - make sure he eats it all to get the full dose. It’s really important to complete any course of medication and follow any instructions to ensure it works correctly. This helpful video shows how to medicate your cat, alternatively your vet may advise an alternative, visit www.pdsa.org.uk/givingyourpetatablet website.

Meeting a qualifier gave David Goffin perspective in Marrakech. Our compatriot was really able to survive in the first round.
Bosnian Damir Damir Doumhur can surprise at times, but Goffin’s qualifier didn’t get that chance. David Goffin was in the game from the start and immediately focused on the first three games. Avoiding a rebrake and then adding a second brake on top of that quickly became a concept in-flight with the first set.
Doumhur, who won two qualifying matches in Marrakech, provided more resistance in the second set. Goffin also got a break, but he quickly reversed it. Later, both the players did what they had to do on the basis of their service. Goffin was clearly better at the tiebreak. With 6-2 and 7-6 (7/3), the Lige player made it to the next round.

The latest target of Kanye West’s fury is the publication Forbes, which Kanye says underestimated his net worth on its latest billionaire list.
Kanye’s net worth was estimated at an eye-watering $2.6bn by Forbes, however, the Donda hitmaker’s camp has hit out at the publication claiming that the figure does not do justice to his actual net worth.
According to The Blast, Kanye has stated that his net worth is actually in the region of a staggering $7bn.
The rapper has also accused Forbes of trying “to control and diminish him even at the cost of their own integrity.”
Kanye’s claims come despite the Forbes team informing his camp that their criteria of determining net worth is partially based on “revenue from last year only and not the enterprise value of long-term deals that are in place.”
To put things in perspective, Kanye’s fortune is thought to have increased in the last year alone thanks to his deals with Adidas and Gap.
He also earns around $180 million from his music.
Meanwhile, other names on the Forbes billionaires list include Kanye’s estranged wife Kim Kardashian, boasting a fortune on $1.8bn, and mom-to-be Rihanna, with a net worth of around $1.7 bn.

MISSION, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Mission police arrested a man who is accused of attacking his pet husky with an axe during a “psychotic episode.”
According to Hidalgo County Public Records, John Mark Duffey II was arrested on charges of cruelty to a non-livestock animal, a third-degree felony.
According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by ValleyCentral, Duffey was arrested after “intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly torturing an animal” after striking his husky on the back of his head with a hatchet.
At 1:43 a.m. on April 4, officers arrived to an area near Wildwood Drive in Mission after receiving word of a man having a “mental episode” with an axe.
Upon arrival, Duffey’s father told authorities that he attacked his dog during a psychotic episode. Officers made contact with Duffey who had blood stains on his hands.
Officers then saw a white husky who was bleeding next to him, gasping for air next to a yellow axe covered in blood.
Duffey’s father told authorities that he was asleep when he heard one of the dogs squealing. He said he went outside and saw Duffey kneeling over one of his dogs, named Jubilee, with one hand on the dogs throat and a hatchet in the other.
Duffey told his father that he was “getting rid of the evil” and that he had to “get rid of this evil dog,” the affidavit stated.
Duffey’s father told authorities he knew his son was having a mental episode by a “blank stare in his eyes,” which prompted him to call 911.
When officers arrived they saw the husky with a “gash” around 6-9 inches long on the dog’s head.
According to Mission police, the dog died as a result of the injuries.

Asia Pacific to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Asia Pacific consists of several emerging and developed economies, such as Australia, India, China, Japan, and Singapore. Some countries are more technologically developed, while some still show reluctance in adopting the latest technologies. The high adoption rate of new technologies has made this region a lucrative market for the IT industry. Due to this reason, the IoT market in the Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest rate. In addition, the countries in the region are taking aggressive initiatives to upsurge their IT infrastructures, enabling commercial users to adopt cutting-edge technologies. Some widespread government initiatives in the region aim at improving the efficiency of the services. In recent years, Asia Pacific has successfully facilitated cooperation projects under the low-carbon model town and IoT-based smart cities and has gathered valuable experience in the process, which can be shared among the member economies. However, the lack of knowledge and expertise among end-users and the lack of resources and infrastructures in the developing economies are expected to restrict the growth of the IoT market in Asia Pacific.

MIAMI (AP) — (2010s)
The NBA suspends the season “until further notice” after Rudy Goebert of the Utah Jazz tests positive for the coronavirus. The move comes hours after the majority of the league’s owners were leaning toward playing games without fans in arenas. The stoppage is expected to last a couple weeks. But the NBA does not resume play again until the end of July with a scaled-down version involving 22 teams inside a bubble created at the Disney World complex in Florida. The Associated Press is republishing verbatim the story of the NBA suspending the season March 12, 2020.

By AP Basketball Writer
MIAMI — The NBA has suspended its season "until further notice" after a Utah Jazz player tested positive Wednesday for the coronavirus, a move that came only hours after the majority of the league’s owners were leaning toward playing games without fans in arenas.
Now there will be no games at all, at least for the time being. A person with knowledge of the situation said the Jazz player who tested positive was center Rudy Gobert. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the league nor the team confirmed the test.
“The NBA is suspending game play following the conclusion of tonight’s schedule of games until further notice,” the league said in a statement sent shortly after 9:30 p.m. EDT. “The NBA will use this hiatus to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the coronavirus pandemic.”
The test result, the NBA said, was reported shortly before the scheduled tip-off time for the Utah at Oklahoma City game on Wednesday night was called off. Players were on the floor for warmups and tip-off was moments away when they were told to return to their locker rooms. About 30 minutes later, fans were told the game was postponed “due to unforeseen circumstances.”
Those circumstances were the league’s worst-case scenario for now — a player testing positive. A second person who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity said the league expects the shutdown to last a minimum of two weeks, but cautioned that timeframe is very fluid.
“It’s a very serious time right now,” Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “I think the league moved appropriately and prudently and we’ll all just have to monitor the situation and see where it goes from here.”
The Jazz released a statement saying a player — they did not identify Gobert — tested negative earlier Wednesday for flu, strep throat and an upper respiratory infection. That player’s symptoms diminished as the day went along, but the decision was made to test for COVID-19 anyway. That test came back with a preliminary positive result.
“The individual is currently in the care of health officials in Oklahoma City,” the Jazz said, adding that updates would come as appropriate.
For most people, the coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.
The vast majority of people recover from the new virus. According to the World Health Organization, which declared a pandemic on Wednesday, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover. In mainland China, where the virus first exploded, more than 80,000 people have been diagnosed and more than 58,000 have so far recovered.
It has been a worldwide issue for several weeks. And now, it has hit the NBA.
“This is crazy,” Cleveland forward Tristan Thompson said on Twitter.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said he was stunned when the news came down, adding that “this is much bigger than basketball.”
“This is a global pandemic where people’s lives are at stake,” Cuban said. “I’m a lot more worried about my kids, and my mom is 82 years old, and talking to her, and telling her to stay in the house, than I am about when we play our next game.”
Charlotte Hornets coach James Borrego, speaking before his team’s game at Miami, said “these are scary times.”
Rapidly evolving times, as well. Around 7 p.m., a person with knowledge of the situation told AP that owners — who met by teleconference Wednesday — were largely in support of a plan to play games in empty arenas on a short-term basis.
About an hour later, the Thunder-Jazz game was halted before tip-off. And about 90 minutes after that, the season was called off, effective when the last whistle was to blow Wednesday night.
That came even earlier than planned: The last game of the night’s six-game slate, New Orleans at Sacramento, was called off as well because one of the referees assigned to work that Pelicans-Kings game, Courtney Kirkland, worked a Utah game on Monday.
“The game was canceled out of an abundance of caution,” the NBA said.
There are 259 games, roughly 21% of the schedule, left to play this season — and no one knows if, or when, things will resume.
“We believe in the leadership of the league,” Philadelphia 76ers general manager Elton Brand said.
The shutdown is the latest major development in a season filled with unspeakably hard challenges. The league lost as much as $400 million in revenue after a rift with China was started in October when Houston general manager Daryl Morey tweeted out support of anti-government protesters in Hong Kong. Former NBA Commissioner David Stern died in January, the same month that soon-to-be Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash.
And now, a pandemic — which could also cost the league hundreds of millions in lost revenue, depending on how long it lasts. Cuban said he expected his team to remain in Dallas, rehabbing and working and being ready to return whenever the league re-opens.
“As we’ve said from the beginning, the health and safety of our fans, employees, players and partners is our top priority and thus we fully support the NBA’s decision to postpone games,” Orlando Magic CEO Alex Martins said. “We will continue to stay in contact with the league, and local, state and federal health experts as we closely monitor this public health crisis.”
If the regular season ends here, it would be the end of Atlanta guard Vince Carter’s 22-year playing career. And just in case this was it, the Hawks put Carter in with 19.5 seconds left in overtime in what was already clearly going to be a loss to New York.
Carter took an open 3-pointer and made it — the Knicks, aware of the moment, didn’t defend him either — and celebrated with Hawks teammates afterward after what may be the final shot of his career.
“A weird, but cool memory,” Carter said.
Also shut down: The G League, the NBA’s minor league where teams have somewhere between six and nine games left on their 50-game schedules.
The NBA’s movement toward empty arenas in the short term came on the same day that the NCAA announced that the men’s and women’s Division I tournaments would be played without fans — except for a few family members — permitted inside to watch.
“People are clearly taking the measures that they feel they need to take for safety,” said Heat guard Duncan Robinson, who played in both the Division I and Division III national championship games during his college days at Michigan and Williams.
Robinson added, “but at the same time the NBA has to protect its players in the league and the fans.”
Things were trending toward games in empty arenas for some time, and it was abundantly clear Wednesday morning when the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told a Congressional committee that he would recommend the NBA not allow fans at games in response to the coronavirus.
Dr. Anthony Fauci was responding to a question asked by Rep. Glenn Grothman, a Wisconsin Republican, “is the NBA underreacting or is the Ivy League overreacting?” Grothman was referencing how the Ivy League recently canceled its basketball tournaments, instead of having them without fans or keeping the status quo.
“We would recommend that there not be large crowds,” Fauci said. “If that means not having any people in the audience when the NBA plays, so be it. But as a public health official, anything that has crowds is something that would give a risk to spread.”
That was when the concern was about crowds and containment.
By the close of business Wednesday in the NBA, the concern was so much more.
“This is surreal,” Borrego said. “This is reality for us now. It’s no longer just on TV somewhere. This is now home.”

Zierer stepping up at LT
AUBURN | Despite returning five offensive linemen with 10 or more starts, there’s been plenty of competition on Auburn’s offensive line this spring.
And plenty of opportunities for a less experienced player to step up and win a job.
Such is the case for Kilian Zierer. The senior has taken a big step forward in being the Tigers’ starting left tackle this fall.
Offensive line coach Will Friend even referred to Zierer as a classic left tackle with plenty of quickness on his 6-foot-7, 312-pound frame.
“He’s our best pass protector. He’s got the length. He’s got the athletic ability. That’s what he is,” said Friend.
Zierer, a native of Munich, Germany, signed with Auburn out of College of Canyons in the 2020 class. After undergoing knee surgery before he arrived, Zierer sat out the 2020 season.
He came on to start four games the second half of last season and has been working with the first-team at left tackle for the entire spring.
“He’s understanding the technique of playing the position,” said Friend. “He can understand me better a little bit. There was a time when I first got here, I don’t know how well he understood me and my broken english. But he understands me better now and he’s gotten better and better.
“No. 1 thing is he’s got confident in his health. He was hurt and as he gained confidence in that, he was able to gain confidence in what he was doing. Now, he’s able to kinda go play a little bit.”
In addition to overcoming an injury, Zierer was also learning the game of American football and working hard to add size and strength to his frame. It’s been a process, but he feels like he’s finally arrived.
"The big thing at the beginning is you’ve got to learn the plays, you’ve got to know what to do. That takes a while,” said Zierer. “Once you’ve got that down you can focus on improving little things like technique. It takes a while. I’d say it took me a little over a year to get where I am right now.”
Auburn will hold its 13th practice of the spring Wednesday afternoon. The A-Day game is Saturday at 1 p.m. CT on SECN+/ESPN+.

Are You Looking for a High-Growth Dividend Stock? Lincoln National (LNC) Could Be a Great Choice
All investors love getting big returns from their portfolio, whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities. However, when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.
Cash flow can come from bond interest, interest from other types of investments, and of course, dividends. A dividend is that coveted distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders, and investors often view it by its dividend yield, a metric that measures the dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends make up large portions of long-term returns, and in many cases, dividend contributions surpass one-third of total returns.
Lincoln National in Focus
Headquartered in Radnor, Lincoln National (LNC) is a Finance stock that has seen a price change of -5.13% so far this year. The insurance and retirement business is currently shelling out a dividend of $0.45 per share, with a dividend yield of 2.78%. This compares to the Insurance - Life Insurance industry's yield of 0.81% and the S&P 500's yield of 1.46%.
In terms of dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $1.80 is up 7.1% from last year. Lincoln National has increased its dividend 5 times on a year-over-year basis over the last 5 years for an average annual increase of 9.34%. Future dividend growth will depend on earnings growth as well as payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Lincoln National's current payout ratio is 21%, meaning it paid out 21% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.
LNC is expecting earnings to expand this fiscal year as well. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2022 is $10.59 per share, which represents a year-over-year growth rate of 29.15%.
Bottom Line
Investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons, from tax advantages and decreasing overall portfolio risk to considerably improving stock investing profits. However, not all companies offer a quarterly payout.
Big, established firms that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options, but it's fairly uncommon to see high-growth businesses or tech start-ups offer their stockholders a dividend. Income investors have to be mindful of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. With that in mind, LNC is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of 3 (Hold).
Just Released: The Biggest Tech IPOs of 2022
For a limited time, Zacks is revealing the most anticipated tech IPOs expected to launch this year. Concerns about Federal interest rates and inflation caused many private companies to stay on the bench- leading to companies with better brand recognition and higher growth rates getting into the game.

Investment to Support Company's Engagement with Health Plans and Self-Insured Employers to Provide Tech-Enabled Value-Based Cardiology Solutions
AUSTIN, Texas and ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Karoo Health, a leader in tech-enabled value-based cardiovascular care solutions, today announced it closed a significant seed funding round. The investment will allow Karoo Health to bring its innovative, value-based, end-to-end cardiovascular solutions to patients via partnerships with health plans and self-insured employers. As a patient-first organization, Karoo Health helps patients lead their best lives by preventing the progression of cardiovascular disease.
The investment was led by Panoramic Ventures, with additional participation from FirstMile Ventures and leading healthcare executives. With this new capital, Karoo Health can accelerate its mission of creating a new paradigm of better cardiovascular care, at lower cost, than the current system.
"I saw first hand the devastating effects of cardiovascular disease on my closest friend, who died of a heart attack at the age of 29, in addition to several family members I lost to this largely avoidable disease," said Ian Koons, Co-Founder and CEO of Karoo Health. "I saw the confusion of complex patients spending just three minutes with the cardiologist after long wait times, and I knew there must be a patient-centered, integrated delivery model that would do better for these patients."
According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, with an annual cost to the healthcare system of more than $318 billion. "Cardiovascular care is often the largest expenditure for employers and Medicare Advantage plans, yet very few, if any, value-based care approaches have been brought to bear in this area," said Mr. Koons. "Karoo is in the process of attacking both the cost and quality issues in cardiovascular care in a patient-first way."
"Seeing the shortcomings of the current state of cardiac care, we knew there had to be a better way," said Ben Selzer, Co-Founder and CFO of Karoo Health. "We approached leading cardiologists across the country and asked them how they would design a better cardiac care delivery model. Based on their feedback, we built Karoo Health." Mr. Selzer continued, "we will blend digital approaches and services with in-person care at Karoo-owned cardiology centers to create a true, value-based solution for cardiology cases of all types, assuming risk and working with employers and health plans to lower their cardiovascular spend."
Austin Poole, Principal of Panoramic Ventures added, "We are thrilled to be working with Ian and Ben at Karoo to define a new paradigm in cardiac care that empowers physicians to focus on patients and drive better outcomes."
Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP served as legal advisor to Karoo Heath during the funding round.

Forgiveness heart
Forgiveness. For many of us, that proves a tough nut to crack. Often, when we harbor chronic resentment toward someone we feel has done us wrong, the emotional toxicity gradually intensifies. This mental toxin feeds on its host, not its target, which is why proponents of positive psychology encourage us to forgive ... or suffer the emotional, physical and spiritual consequences.
How do we know whether we are suffering the ill effects of being unforgiving? Along with the usual suspects—anxiety, depression and agitation—a key symptom is obsessive ruminating over the offending party and their hurtful actions. It feels like one is haunted by the painful memories. Liz was one such soul.
“I just feel sour inside, like being emotionally sick to my stomach,” she struggled to explain.
Letting Go
She felt incapable of letting go of resentment toward those who wronged her, which included some family and co-workers. Her reflexive approach was to write these persons off, or, if impossible, to minimize her interactions with them and, when those occurred, exhibit a cold-as-ice demeanor.
“I often ruminate about what these people said or did to me that was unfair or unkind,” she confessed.
Most of us have at least one person we can’t seem to forgive, which is understandable. There are offenses, particularly those driven by intentional malice, that don’t seem to deserve absolution, at least in the absence of a sincere apology from the perpetrator. Research suggests the most difficult offenses to forgive involve breaches of trust, such as embezzlement or infidelity, as well as being victimized, socially ostracized or harshly bullied. So, while Liz finally recognized her bitterness was corrosive to her well-being, she felt incapable of granting pardons to all. She embraced the common belief that we possess only two choices in such matters—forgive the person and make peace or remain bitter. Not so.

Bury the Hatchet
The most clear-cut form of forgiveness is when we bury the hatchet with the other party, a reconciliation made far easier when that person apologizes for their misdeed. However, even when the offender is contrite, it can be challenging. It’s one thing to let go of rancor toward someone, but another altogether to interact with the offending person in a positive manner going forward. What’s more, when that individual remains unapologetic, the challenge is more about coming to terms with one’s self than them.
“When we can’t bring ourselves to forgive someone, and the bitterness is taking a toll on us, there is another way through,” I suggested to Liz.
If the offending party has no remorse, fails to apologize or is inaccessible (won’t respond, incapacitated, deceased, etc.), that doesn’t prevent us from letting go of our resentment. How? Acceptance. This does not require forgiving the other person. What it does require is letting go of the desire for fairness, a just outcome or a self-affirming resolution. It involves adopting the attitude of “It is what it is ... and will remain so.” Realizing there won’t be a satisfactory resolution and accepting that as an unchangeable reality helps the mind and heart let it go.
Releasing Ritual
If we struggle to embrace acceptance, as many do, it sometimes helps to employ a “releasing ritual” that engages the feeling brain not just the thinking one. Liz’s approach focused on an estranged relative who sent her scathing letters crammed with self-righteous criticism. They hadn’t spoken in years. In a ritual fashion, she burned the letters, collected the ashes and scattered them in a river at sunset. The outcome?
“I don’t think about it much anymore,” she reported. “And when I do, it feels more like disappointment than anger. I’m not churning inside.”
This kind of acceptance, as opposed to outright forgiveness, involves lightening up, unburdening oneself both emotionally and spiritually. Some years back, I was trudging through the Milwaukee airport in route to a wilderness trek, loaded down with baggage and gear, straining under the load. An elderly gentleman striding by, nothing in hand, stopped me in mid-stride.
“Do you know the Roman word for baggage?” he asked me, but despite my years of Latin, I had to admit I didn’t.
“Impedimenta,” he proclaimed before walking away.
Without acceptance, the emotional baggage of resentment weighs us down emotionally and spiritually, impeding our capacity to live our best life.

Hibs head coach Shaun Maloney says he has to ensure a loss like Martin Boyle's exit can never be felt again.
The Easter Road club have struggled in front of goal since the Australian international's mega-money move to Saudi Arabia with Al-Faisaly.
They have failed to score in seven matches and have scored more than once in four of the 13 games following Boyle's exit at the end of January.
Mixed form means the Hibees head into a defining Edinburgh derby with Hearts this weekend knowing they need a win to guarantee themselves a Premiership top six place.
Even a draw might not be enough to secure it, and former Belgium coach Maloney is aware that Hibs' top scorer leaving has had too much of a negative impact.
He told Sky Sports: “I love the size of the club and I love the expectation. We’re in a place now because of what happened in the last seven to ten days of the window. We’ve really struggled in certain areas.
“It’s my job to fix that and really make sure that next season we’re never as reliant as we were on one player in an attacking area.
“I really supported the decision. With the way the window went and that particular move, we couldn’t say no.
“And unless the processes are right to replace him, then we can’t take that risk. We’ve got a really good recruitment team. I get on very well with the CEO (Ben Kensell) and it was the right decision.
“It just has an impact and we’ve seen that. I have to try and find the solution. At times we have, at times we haven’t but I hope that we find it this weekend.”

Week 13 Results
Birmingham Squadron 126 at Memphis Hustle 111 (15-19)
Game 34 Breakdown
Key Stats
- Santi Aldama- 26 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks
- Ahmad Caver- 18 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals
- Ben Moore- 16 points, 9 rebounds
- Shaq Buchanan- 13 points, 6 rebounds
- Reggie Hearn- 11 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists
- Yves Pons- 5 points, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks
The Hustle dropped their season finale and were officially eliminated from the playoffs following their loss to the Birmingham Squadron. The loss hurts deep since the Stockton Kings lost their matchup against SLC on the same night, a loss that would have put the Hustle in the playoffs had the defeated Birmingham. Santi Aldama continued his fantastic play while on a personal back-to-back after lighting up the Phoenix Suns on Friday.
A tough theme for the Hustle season that had gone away in recent games reared it’s ugly head on Saturday. The Hustle shot 23.7% (9-38) from beyond the arc, while the Squadron shot 51.4% (18-35) from deep, outscoring the Hustle by 27 points from beyond the arc. It is simply hard to compete when you are being doubled up in makes from beyond the arc. To make matters worse, both David Stockton and Damien Jefferson played some of their worst offensive games of the season as the Hustle struggled to get anything going consistently. The Hustle held a slim lead at the halftime break, but a 34-20 3rd quarter doomed the Hustle and had them playing catch up the rest of the way. It was ultimately a weird game that saw the Hustle lead by as many as 19, but the Squadron lead by as many as 29.
MVP of the Season
Figuring out the “MVP of the Season” for the Hustle was extremely difficult. As expected, Santi Aldama had the best overall numbers. He averaged 22.6 points, 9.3 rebounds and a combined 2.5 stocks (steals + blocks) per game while shooting nearly 50% from the field but just 27.3% from beyond the arc. However, it feels disingenuous to award MVP of the season to an assignment player who appeared in just 16 games for the Hustle, even if he did lead them to a 10-6 record in those games. Instead, it comes down to Shaq Buchanan and Ahmad Caver. Their traditional stats listed below.
Shaq Buchanan: 20.3 ppg (42.2% shooting, 28.3% from deep), 6 rbs, 3.8 asts, 1.9 steals
Ahmad Caver: 16.7 ppg (40.8% shooting, 28.1% from deep), 5.7 rbs, 8.1 asts, 1.9 steals
It was a career year for both Hustle stars, with Shaq scoring a career high in points per game and really taking his scoring prowess to the next level while Ahmad flashed his all-around game and really shined in areas we’d only seen pieces of the past two seasons. In reality, both players deserve the honor of being the “MVP of the Season” with their growth and leadership. Shaq Buchanan deserves credit for playing in every game in the “regular season” despite all the injuries surrounding the Hustle, but Ahmad also seemed to stand out more as the Hustle went on their run late in the season (with the help of Aldama).
I don’t want to discredit the incredible season Shaq Buchanan had, as he carried the Hustle through a really tough stretch of the season with so many injuries. That said, Ahmad Caver is my MVP of the Season with his better all-around numbers and the larger impact felt as the Hustle went on their run to try and make the playoffs.
Hustle Stats
8.1: Sticking with Ahmad, he was 2nd in the G League in assists per game. Admittedly over the past 2 years I had pegged Ahmad as more of a score first combo guard instead of a pure point guard, and he shut me up this season. Ahmad can still certainly get buckets as the “hesi-god” of the G League, but his assist numbers really jumped out this season. Caver even mentioned in a podcast interview with myself earlier this season that his role forced him to be more “score first” in the bubble, but that he really thrives in dishing the ball. Caver was able to put that on full display this season and should have caught the eye of the NBA with his play this season.
32.4%: The Hustle had a poor year shooting the ball this season. The injuries played a role, but the team as a whole struggled with the 3-point shot. As noted above, both Ahmad and Shaq shot 28% from deep on the season and as a team they shot 32.4% from beyond the arc. They were middle of the pack in attempts per game, but with the low percentage of makes they often found themselves being outscored by a fair amount of points from deep in a lot of games. Their dominance in the paint (6th in points in the paint & 2nd chance points) wasn’t enough to overcome the 3-point shortcomings in a few too many games.
In total, the Hustle only had 3 players you could qualify as having “good” shooting seasons when factoring in makes and attempts per game. Sean McDermott (43.6% on 3.5 attempts) had a great final 11 games of the season after missing the first 30+ games of the season rehabbing from a summer knee injury. Damien Jefferson (41.4% on 4.8 attempts) was great off the bench and Cameron Young (40.2% on 6.8 attempts) was fantastic before being traded at the deadline.
Season in Review
Health was the theme for the Hustle all season long. Sean McDermott was out the first 30+ games. The Hustle got limited returns on Matt Hurt and Romeo Weems before both were lost for the year with season ending injuries leading into the Showcase Cup. The Grizzlies injury concerns/COVID issues also gave them a limited amount of games with two-ways and assignment guys until the past month.
Because of the injuries, the Hustle struggled with a 2-7 record to start the “regular season” as they often had to play games with just 7 or 8 available bodies. The Hustle then went 4-4 in February before wrapping up the month with a 3 game losing streak. The run saw the Hustle head into March with a 6-14 record and in second to last in the Western Conference Standings as they embarked upon a season-long 7 game road trip.
The Hustle, with the addition of Santi Aldama and the team getting healthy, went 5-2 on the road trip. In March, the Hustle went on a 8-2 run to get back in the playoff picture with a 14-16 record. Unfortunately for Memphis, they finished the season 1-3 in the final 4 game and missed the playoffs by a game and found themselves 9th in the Western Conference. The circumstances are especially painful, as a win on Saturday against a good Birmingham team would have put the Hustle at 6th in the standings and they would have faced off against the South Bay Lakers in Round 1 of the playoffs last night.
Despite the unfortunate end to the season, the Hustle played better than the record suggests. The injuries really derailed the first part of the season, so much so that even their late season surge wasn’t enough to overcome it.
The Hustle will now enter a pretty big offseason. There is always uncertainty with G-League rosters and a ton of turnover year-to-year but the Hustle found success with some core guys but will have plenty of questions to ultimately address. A few highlighted below:
Who comes back? EJ Onu already has already signed with the Niagara River Lions of the CEBL for the G League “off season” and other guys could also decide to play elsewhere. David Stockton, Ben Moore and Reggie Hearn are G League vets and could ultimately decide to play overseas next year and make more money especially if things are more “normal” next season in regards to COVID-19. 3 seasons in the G League has been a theme since I’ve been covering where guys start to look at other options after Year 3. Both Shaq Buchanan and Ahmad Caver finished their 3rd season. Will they be back for a 4th? Or will they get that elusive NBA contract or decide to play overseason.
Freddie Gillespie has gotten NBA chances the past two seasons, does a team take a chance on him heading into next year? What about the guys who were injured? Sean McDermott figures to play a role since the Hustle kept him around despite knowing he’d miss a majority of the season. Matt Hurt and Romeo Weems were 2-starters the Hustle lost early in the season. Do they come back to show they are healthy and prove their worth?
What to do with two-ways? Killian Tillie was promoted from his two-way mid-season this past year, and the team replaced him with Tyrell Terry. Neither Terry or Yves Pons stood out at any particular moment this season other than a couple of highlight plays. With an intriguing draft class and multiple picks (with the Grizzlies not having many open roster spots) what do the Grizzlies do with Terry & Pons? Pons is on a one-year two-way so he may ultimately wind up back with the Hustle on a G League contract or try and catch on with another organization. Terry is on a two-year deal, but it isn’t a difficult business decision to eat the cost and waive him should someone the organization likes be open to coming to Memphis on a two-way (or rewarding a guy like Ahmad or Shaq).
There are plenty of other unknowns heading into the offseason, but one thing is for certain. I’ll be here to update the masses on what goes on throughout the offseason for the Hustle.

National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Iyorchia Ayu on Wednesday said any of the presidential aspirants of the party if elected in 2023 will perform one thousand times better than what President Muhammadu Buhari has done in the last six years.
He made the remarks when former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi visited the national secretariat of the party to brief the leaders on why he is contesting in 2023.
Ayu who lauded Peter Obi for his issue-based campaign said the Vice-Presidential candidate of the party in the 2019 election is eminently qualified to become president of Nigeria in 2023.
He urged other presidential aspirants in the party to emulate Obi’s example by focusing on what they plan to do and not engaging in attacking their political opponents.
“When people of your quality show interest in our party to run for the presidency, we know that we are the right party to rule this country”.
“All our aspirants who have bought forms so far are people that if given the opportunity to run this country, they will do one thousand times better than what President Buhari and APC have done in the last six years.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration has charged a Russian oligarch with violating U.S. government sanctions and has disrupted a cybercrime operation launched by a Russian military intelligence agency, officials said Wednesday.
The action came as the Justice Department said it was accelerating efforts to track down illicit Russian assets and as U.S. prosecutors helped European counterparts gather evidence on potential war crimes committed by Russia during its war on Ukraine. FBI and Justice Department officials announced the moves as the U.S. separately revealed sanctions against the two adult daughters of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We have our eyes on every dollar and jet. We have our eyes on every piece of art and real estate, purchased with dirty money and on every bitcoin wallet filled with proceeds of theft, and other crimes,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said. “Together with our partners around the world, our goal is to ensure that sanctioned Russian oligarchs and cyber criminals will not find safe haven.”
The indictment against Konstantin Malofeyev, a Russian media baron and founder of Russian Orthodox news channel, Tsargrad TV, is the first of an oligarch since the Russian invasion in February. The case accuses him of evading Treasury Department sanctions resulting from his financing of Russians promoting separatism in Crimea.
Though sanctions bar U.S. citizens from working for or doing business with him, Malofeyev hired an American television producer to work for him in networks in Russia and Greece and tried to buy a television network in Bulgaria, prosecutors said. Jack Hanick, a former CNBC and Fox News employee, was arrested last month for his work as a television producer for Malofeyev.
The Justice Department also announced that it had taken down a botnet — a network of hijacked computers typically used for malicious activity — that was controlled by the Russian military intelligence agency known as the GRU. The botnet was dismantled before it could cause any damage, said FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Wednesday's announcements came two days after U.S. officials seized a huge yacht in Spain belonging to a Russian oligarch, Viktor Vekselberg, with close ties to Russian President Putin.
The Justice Department in the past year has taken aim against Russia-based cybercrime, recovering in June most of a multimillion-dollar ransom that Colonial Pipeline paid to hackers after a ransomware attack that halted operations. And the department announced charges last fall against two suspected ransomware operators.
