District eyes another bond
Construction of central mall in 2016. / Rosalia Cato / el Don
Paint chips away from the exterior wall of 40-year-old portables on a hot, sunny day at Centennial Education Center. An outdated classroom reveals stained walls and an old fan struggling to cool Santa Ana College’s non-credit students. From time to time, school officials say the water main breaks, potentially shutting the school down to students entirely.
“We’re planning for the next 80 years and we want to have up-to-date facilities,” said Vice President of Continuing Education James Kennedy, referring to the 85-year lease the district now holds on CEC’s city-owned property.
For the second time in two years, the Board of Trustees is considering asking local property owners if they are willing to add about $9 a month to their property taxes to construct much-needed new facilities at CEC and elsewhere in the district.
“I do see the need for a facilities bond, I want to make sure it passes though,” said Trustee John Hanna during the March 14 Board of Trustees Meeting.
Officials think the previous bond, Measure L, failed in 2020 because there was no updated master plan at that time. In the last year, committees from Santa Ana College and Santiago Canyon College worked together to identify the district’s biggest areas of need. The result is the 2022 Facilities Master Plan, which officials say can serve as a guide for this new bond.
“We are actually doing this the proper way this time,” said Iris Ingram, Vice Chancellor of Business Services.
CEC isn’t the only campus that is hoping for upgrades. Over half of the main buildings at SAC are 50 years old or more and the new master plan calls for updates and replacement structures.
Some major projects planned to take place at SAC are the Applied Technology Center and an Arts and Workforce building.
The Applied Technology Center would be a two story building for workforce-ready programs such as auto, diesel, welding, and manufacturing technology. A four-story parking structure is planned to replace the loss of parking due to future construction.
In the updated master plan, performing arts, media programs, fashion, fire technology, nutrition, and more are also combined into a new two-story Arts and Workforce complex that will be built on top of Parking Lot 6.
The new bond is currently being reviewed by the board and by May they plan to finalize the wording of the proposal. Before June district officials say they hope to have a resolution calling for a bond so it can be put on the ballot and promoted before November.
If the new bond fails like Measure L, district officials warn that students – and the local workforce – may pay the price.
“Funding for infrastructure to support state-of-the-art Career Technical Education could be delayed for years, creating a wider skills gap in the region, which could contribute to a possible delay in the securement of living wage jobs for RSCCD students in CTE fields, which could also have an impact on the local economy,” said Letitia Clark, chief communications officer for the district.

The Mumbai police Thursday registered a First Information Report (FIR) against BJP leader Kirit Somaiya and his son Neil on charges of cheating. The case was registered in connection with allegations of misappropriation of over Rs 57 crore collected for the restoration of INS Vikrant, the Indian Navy’s first aircraft carrier.
An officer said that an FIR was registered against the Bharatiya Janata Party leader and his son at Trombay police station on Thursday based on a complaint received by a former Indian Army personnel. As per the complaint, between 2013 and 2014 former MP Kirit Somaiya and his son Neil had collected money from the general public for the restoration of INS Vikrant.
“However, instead of depositing the money in the government account, they swindled the money,” the complainant said.
An official said that so far they have not issued summons to anyone. “We will seek their bank account and other details to establish the money trail,” added the official.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, who was in Delhi on Wednesday, alleged that Somaiya has siphoned off Rs 57 crore collected for the restoration of INS Vikrant. Raut alleged that Somaiya was to deposit the money with the Maharashtra Governor but instead he invested it in his son’s construction company.

NEW YORK (AP) — CBS News reporter Debora Patta has covered conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, and the aftermath of terrorist attacks in Europe. She has seen violence and death at close range before. But the atrocities she witnessed in Bucha, Ukraine this week stood out, and overwhelmed her.
“We need to be disturbed by these pictures,” Patta said on “CBS Mornings,” after describing what she and other journalists witnessed in the outskirts of Kyiv.
The war changed this week from a media perspective, which is how most people outside of Ukraine experience it.
Before, events had been seen primarily from a slight distance — fiery explosions caught on camera or drone-eyed views of burned-out buildings. Now, with the Ukrainian army retaking control of villages near Kyiv that had been brutalized by Russian soldiers, journalists are capturing the aftermath of horrific violence at close range — of dead bodies bound, tortured and burned.
While there’s a sense that images like these might change public opinion or have an impact on how a war plays out, historically that hasn’t often been the case, said Rebecca Adelman, a communications professor at the University of Maryland who specializes in war and the media.
Still, several countries, including the United States and Britain, imposed additional sanctions on Russia this week, and they cited the brutality in Bucha as compelling them to do more.
Whatever the impact, Adelman said it is critical to have journalists on hand to document what is going on. “Bearing witness is crucially important, particularly in cases of catastrophic loss,” she said. “Sometimes the photograph is all you have left.”
Photographs and video from Bucha showed body bags piled in trenches, lifeless limbs protruding from hastily dug graves, and corpses scattered in streets where they fell, including one man blown off a bicycle.
Journalists from around the world also interviewed Ukrainians emerging from their hiding places to tell stories about the barbarism they witnessed from Russian soldiers.
TV anchors and correspondents warned viewers that they were about to see graphic and disturbing pictures — a warning that came four times in one episode of “World News Tonight” on ABC. “I'm sorry I have to show you this,” CNN's Frederik Pleitgen apologized, before motioning a camera to show body bags piled in a van.
“While we may want to look away, it is becoming harder and harder to close our eyes to what's happening,” NBC “Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt said in his warning to viewers.
Veteran television news producer Rick Kaplan said that, from what he's seen, news organizations have been careful in what they've shown without flinching from the story.
“Every day we have these images it brings (the war) home more and more,” said Kaplan, a former president of both CNN and MSNBC. “It's a good thing that this horrifies us. Can you imagine if we were blase about it?”
The gruesome images from Bucha, in particular, have dominated news reports around the world.
The BBC reported on the continued “world revulsion.” Italian state TV gave no warning before showing bodies with bound hands, half-buried in sandy terrain. “What you see from here, unfortunately, are signs of torture on the face,” journalist Stefania Battistini said. “All are wearing civilian clothes.”
Narrating a story on Fakty, Poland's most-watched evening news program, anchor Grzegorz Kajdanowicz said “it is our duty to warn you, but also to show you what the Russians did in Bucha and several other places.”
It was different in Russia, where state television falsely claimed Ukraine was responsible for either killing civilians themselves or perpetrating a hoax. Russian TV has also run images of dead bodies in Bucha, some taken from CNN, with the word “fake” stamped on the screen, according to Internet Archive, a company that monitors Web and television content.
The Russian propaganda prompted many Western news organizations to debunk those claims by using satellite imagery to show that many dead bodies that were documented on the ground this week by journalists had been in the same spots when Russia controlled the town.
Some of the most graphic images were compiled in a short video made by Ukraine to accompany President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's speech to the United Nations on Tuesday. To a soundtrack of somber music and the cries of children, the video showed close-ups of corpses and body parts.
Technical difficulties delayed its airing until well after Zelenskyy talked, giving networks like CNN and Fox News Channel that had aired the speech time to present it later in edited form. But MSNBC appeared to show it in full, leaving anchor Andrea Mitchell visibly shaken.
“That's just horrific,” she said. “I don't think the world has seen anything like it.”
Ukraine has a clear motivation to show the world what is happening, and journalists accompanied Zelenskyy on a visit to Bucha on Monday.
While television and the Internet give greater immediacy to war coverage, heart-wrenching images — and their potential to shape public opinion — are hardly new.
Harvard historian Drew Faust, author of “This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War,” noted that when Matthew Brady had an exhibit of his Civil War photographs in 1862, The New York Times wrote, “if he has not brought bodies and laid them in our dooryards and along the streets, he has done something very like it.”
When a memorable photo was circulated of a 5-year-old boy sitting dazed and bloodied after being rescued from a bombing in Aleppo, Syria in 2016, NPR asked in a headline, “Can one photo help end a war?”
It hasn't yet.
A danger, too, is that in a world not easily shocked people will become numb to the pictures. That's Faust's fear, particularly as she expressed surprise that many people became strangely disconnected to the news of so many people dying of COVID-19.
As more communities are liberated from Russian rule, the number of ghastly images will almost certainly multiply.
“A little caution will be needed going forward so every news program doesn't become a parade of horrible images,” said news consultant and retired NBC News executive Bill Wheatley.
Yet one of the surprises of this war, along with Ukraine's ability to stave off a quick defeat, is the way Zelenskyy has been able to win the information battle and unite opposition in a way that was not anticipated. In that context, the images may help make a difference.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — The young woman from Myanmar and her family now live amid the tall grasses of a riverbank on the Thai border, trapped in limbo between a country that does not want them and a country whose military could kill them.
Like thousands of others fleeing mounting violence after a military takeover in Myanmar last February, Hay left her village for neighboring Thailand in search of a safe haven that does not exist. Returning to Myanmar would place her and her family at risk of death. And yet that is precisely what Thai authorities — wary of jeopardizing their relationship with Myanmar’s ruling military — tell them to do at least once a week, she says.
“When they told us to go back, we cried and explained why we can’t go back home,” says Hay, who lives in a flimsy tent on the Moei River, which divides the two countries. The Associated Press is withholding Hay’s full name, along with the full names of other refugees in this story, to protect them from retaliation by authorities. “Sometimes we cross back to the Myanmar side of the river. But I have not returned to the village at all.”
Though international refugee laws forbid the return of people to countries where their lives may be in danger, Thailand has nonetheless sent thousands of people who fled escalating violence by Myanmar’s military back home, according to interviews with refugees, aid groups and Thai authorities themselves. That has forced Hay and other Myanmar refugees to ricochet between both sides of the river as the fighting in their home villages rages and briefly recedes.
“It is this game of ping-pong,” says Sally Thompson, executive director of The Border Consortium, which has long been the main provider of food, shelter and other support to Myanmar refugees in Thailand. “You can’t keep going back and forth across the border. You’ve got to be somewhere where it’s stable.....And there is absolutely no stability in Myanmar at the moment.”
Since its takeover last year, Myanmar’s military has killed more than 1,700 people, arrested more than 13,000 and systematically tortured children, women and men.
Thailand, which is not a signatory to the United Nations Refugee Convention, insists Myanmar’s refugees return to their embattled homeland voluntarily. Thailand also insists it has complied with all international non-refoulement laws, which dictate that people must not be returned to a country where they would face torture, punishment or harm.
“As the situation on the Myanmar side of the border improved, the Thai authorities facilitated their voluntary return to the Myanmar side,” says Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Tanee Sangrat. “Thailand remains committed and will continue to uphold its long-held humanitarian tradition, including the principle of non-refoulement, in assisting those in need.”
Somchai Kitcharoenrungroj, governor of Thailand’s Tak province, where thousands of people from Myanmar have sought refuge, said many crossed illegally when there was no fighting.
“We had to send them back as the laws said,” Kitcharoenrungroj says. “When they faced the threats and crossed here, we never refused to help them. We provided them all basic needs according to the international human rights principle.”
“For example,” he added, “last week we also found some crossing here illegally and we sent them back.”
More than half a million people have been displaced inside Myanmar and 48,000 have fled to neighboring countries since the military’s takeover, according to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. The UNHCR says Thai government sources estimate around 17,000 Myanmar refugees have sought safety in Thailand since the takeover. But only around 2,000 are currently living on the Thai side of the border, according to the Thai-Myanmar Border Command Center.
“UNHCR continues to strongly advocate that refugees fleeing conflict, generalized violence and persecution in Myanmar should not be forcibly returned to a place where their lives and freedoms could be in danger,” the agency said.
Most of those fleeing clashes between the military and ethnic minority armed groups along the border must wade across the rivers dividing the two countries, belongings and babies balanced atop their shoulders. Those who reach Thailand are not allowed to settle in the decades-old refugee camps that dot the region and house 90,000 people who left Myanmar years before the takeover.
Instead, they have been relegated to crowded cattle sheds or rickety tents made of tarpaulin and bamboo. The moment there is a pause in fighting, refugees and aid groups say, Thai authorities send them back, despite Myanmar’s military taking over villages, burning homes and setting land mines.
“I have seen some of them being forced to get in a car, get off at the river, and cross over to the other side,” says Phoe Thingyan, secretary of Thai aid group the Overseas Irrawaddy Association.
In Myanmar’s border regions, ethnic minority armed groups have been fighting the central government for decades in a bid for greater autonomy, with more clashes after the military takeover. Despite some pauses, witnesses along the Thai border say the fighting there is now the worst it’s been in decades. At times, the gunfire, bombing and fighter jets have been audible from Thailand, and even houses on the Thai side of the river shake with the blasts.
Life along the river is grim and frightening.
“It is not far from the war zone,” says Naw Htoo Htoo, of the ethnic Karen Human Rights Group. “The elderly and children are not comfortable in the makeshift tents….There are illnesses not only caused by the weather, but also by COVID-19.”
In December, 48-year-old Myint fled the Karen small town of Lay Kay Kaw, near the Thai border, with her husband and three children. Officials in Thailand sent them back. With few options, Myint and her family joined around 600 others living near the river on the Myanmar side.
In February, heavy rains flooded their camp, and Myint fears the looming monsoon season will make their already miserable situation even worse.
“I think the refugee camps will be in a lot of trouble,” she says. “We can do nothing but make our temporary tents a little stronger.”
On the Thai side of the river, Hay’s tent offers virtually no protection from the sweltering sun, mosquitoes and drenching rains.
The family yearns for their home and their corn fields near Lay Kay Kaw. On Dec. 16, Hay and her husband grabbed their 3-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son and ran amid a cacophony of gunfire. When they reached the river, the fighting was still so close they knew they could not safely stay on the Myanmar side. And so they trudged through the water to Thailand.
“We want to go back but we have no house,” she says.
There are no toilets, and no way to make money. Food and other supplies are scarce, yet the Thai authorities have refused to allow international NGOs — including the UNHCR — access to the refugees.
“The Thai authorities have said that they have resources to respond, and the INGOs and the UN will not get access,” says Thompson of The Border Consortium. “The Thai authorities are very much keeping this a low visibility, very basic response.”
Most of the aid has come from local Thai community groups. Thingyan, of the Overseas Irrawaddy Association, says his group sends 1,000 boxes of rice each morning and evening to the refugees, but that he has had to ask the Thai military for permission to accept donations.
The Thai military doesn’t even want to acknowledge the existence of Myanmar refugees in Thailand because that alone could upset Myanmar’s military leaders, says Patrick Phongsathorn, human rights specialist with the Asia-based group Fortify Rights.
“The Thai military is intent on controlling the situation, controlling the narrative, because obviously they have political skin in the game, in what’s happening in Myanmar,” he says. “They are very close with the Myanmar junta authorities.”
Kitcharoenrungroj, the Thai governor, seemed to hint at this: “When the fighting stopped, they had to go back,” he said of the refugees Thailand returned. “Otherwise, it could be a sensitive issue for the relationship between both countries.”
The Thai military declined to comment.
Those who remain in Thailand end up in not just physical but legal limbo, vulnerable to exploitation. One Myanmar refugee in Thailand who spoke to the AP said “police cards” – unofficial documents that allow displaced people to avoid arrest or deportation -- are purchased monthly through middlemen for an average cost of 350 Thai baht ($10). Cards are marked with a photo or symbol showing that the holders have paid the latest monthly bribe.
Without the cards, refugees risk further harassment or possible arrest by Thai authorities.
“They will take you to the police station and they will check your documents, test your urine for drug use,” says the refugee, whose name is being withheld by the AP for security reasons. “Police intimidate the people, and the cards are the easiest way to avoid that.”
Sangrat, the Foreign Affairs spokesperson, said the government “categorically denied” the existence of any extortion or bribery.
Though 23-year-old Win and his family initially pitched their tent on the Thai side of the river, Thai authorities soon sent them back. The chemistry student now regularly crosses the river through chest-deep water to retrieve food, clothes and other donated items from the Thai side. Then he turns around and wades back to his campsite in Myanmar, where he lives alongside around 300 other refugees, including children and the elderly.
They are surviving, but only just. What he wants more than anything, he says, is the one thing he cannot have.
“I just want to go home,” he says. “I do not want anything else.”

So who built Montsorrel, the seaside mansion that’s the centerpiece of Nelson and Claudia Peltz’s Palm Beach estate, where daughter Nicola Peltz is married Saturday to football legend David Beckham and his ex-Spice-Girl’s son Brooklyn Beckham Will be Wife, Victoria?
The story begins in 1891, the year Anita O’Keeffe was born. She was the sister of artist Georgia O’Keefe and would one day be the widow of New York railroad magnate Robert R. Young. The slightly darker and withdrawn personality he displayed in his later years—before his death in 1985—was the logical result of several tragedies.

Sydney has exceed its average year's worth of rain in just three-and-a-half months, as low-lying suburbs across the region experience renewed flooding.
NSW has been hit by successive major floods in recent months, with the Northern Rivers area devastated by two deluges within weeks and Sydney enduring an almost constant drenching.
Bureau of Meteorology Senior Hydrologist Ailsa Schofield confirmed on Thursday that Sydney's Observatory Hill site had already copped more than the mean annual rainfall despite it only being early April.
Ms Schofield said the yearly total is likely to continue rapidly climbing until the La Nina weather phenomenon passes.
"Unfortunately we continue to be in a La Nina event, which we know for NSW means that we can expect to see higher-than-average rainfall conditions - which is exactly what we have seen over the past couple of months," she said
"We are expecting La Nina to continue throughout the remainder of April."
Last month Sydney was drenched with its wettest March on record, with 537mm falling into the Observatory Hill gauge.
This broke the previous high for the month of March of 521mm which fell in 1942.
The record made it a "very significant month", the BOM's senior meteorologist Jonathan How told AAP.
"What we do know is that it's the second-fastest on record that Sydney has surpassed 1000 millimetres for the year," he said.
More than 114mm fell at Observatory Hill in the 24 hours up to 9am on Thursday, and a further 18.4mm in the four hours that followed, taking its total for the year to 1245.2mm.
The annual average is 1213.4mm.
Heavy falls have battered the Central Coast, Greater Sydney, Illawarra and South Coast, and the rainfall is forecast to continue through Friday and into the weekend, Ms Schofield said.
Cronulla, south of Sydney's centre, recorded 107mm in three hours overnight.
Meanwhile in the Illawarra, Mount Pleasant received 112mm and Rixons Pass 79mm in less than four hours on Thursday.

Woke NYC health commissioner who wants to mask kids FOREVER gets NYPD security detail to protect him from angry parents
- New York City's Health Commissioner has been given an NYPD security detail after angry parents showed up at his Fort Greene, Brooklyn home to protest
- Ashwin Vasan has sparked outrage for saying mask mandates for kids under five should remain in effect 'indefinitely'
- Mayor Eric Adams and Vasan had announced that they would lift the mask mandate for children under the age of five if Covid cases continued to drop
- But the promise was withdrawn and children aged two to four must wear masks
- New York state dropped its school mask requirements on March 2 while the city dropped the mandate on March 7, excluding those children under age five
NYC's woke health commissioner has been provided with security after being confronted at his $4 million home over plans to mask under-5's indefinitely.
About two dozen protesters were seen by the New York Daily News on Monday night who allegedly shouted death threats while outside Ashwin Vasan's lavish brownstone property in Fort Greene.
An NYPD patrol car has since been stationed outside the three story home ever since.
The group were upset after the commissioner, together with Mayor Eric Adams, decided to keep a school mask mandate in place for children under the age of five.
Those demonstrating shouted 'unmask our kids' while another flew a 'F**k Biden' banner.

On Wednesday, Adams criticized the group and the personal attacks on his Health tsar.
'There's a group traveling around the city banging on the doors of my health commissioner even though his children are inside, yelling and screaming, threatening his life,' Adams explained.
Adams and Vasan had stated jointly in March how the mask mandate for children under five would be finally removed on April 4 unless there was a spike in COVID-19 cases.

Infections have indeed begun to rise as a result of the highly contagious BA.2 subvariant of the virus.
On Friday, the pair said children younger than five will have to wear masks while in school for the foreseeable future.
That has infuriated parents who say the risk of COVID posed to young children is extremely low - and that their development is being stunted by the continuation of the masking policies.
Public health experts have backed Vasan's backtrack.
'It's really horrifying how difficult it has become to have rational conversations about complex public health topics. It's particularly frustrating, because these issues have to be debated publicly since most often there is no 'right' answer, only least bad options,' tweeted Jay Varma, former Mayor Bill de Blasio's top pandemic adviser.
A spokesman for Vasan, Patrick Gallahue, has condemned those who harassed the commissioned.
'To promote public health, we welcome public debate. But harassment of someone's family and home is out of bounds and wholly unacceptable,' Gallahue said in a statement. 'This should not — and cannot — be tolerated.'
Over 100 parents and their children rallied at New York City Hall just weeks ago to demand Adams 'unmask our toddlers' - days after Vasan sparked outrage by announcing that children aged five and under should wear face masks indefinitely.
'I think it's indefinite at this point,' Dr. Ashwin Vasan said when asked about how long the policy would remain in place. 'People who have tried to predict what's going to happen in the future in this pandemic have repeatedly found egg on their face, as they say, and I'm not going to do that here today.'
Multiple studies have shown Covid does not present a serious risk for children - with data from from American Academy of Pediatrics showing children accounted for about 19 percent of all COVID cases, though less than 0.26% of those cases resulted in death.
'With BA.2, we're not seeing it causes more severe illness in any age group,' Vasan said in a recent press conference. 'At this point, we're very concerned about the effects of long-term COVID in everyone.'
Hospitalizations of pediatric COVID patients are also rare.
'Hospitalizations have consistently remained higher for this age range, but they're still considerably low,' Vasan said, adding that kids 2-4 are able to mask, and are really the 'target age range when people talk about kids wearing masks under the age of five.'
Vasan, a primary care physician with twenty years in the medical field, epidemiologist and public health expert, has been tasked to address pandemic management and recovery.
He also works on chronic disease prevention, 'health equity' and mental health.
Children are pictured out and about in New York City wearing face masks in November. Those aged 2-4 are the last group to be forced to still wear masks - even outdoors in some cases
Children are seen on March 7, playing outside while forced to wear face masks in the city
The mandate for children under five years old has become a flashpoint of parental ire in recent weeks, with several fiery protests outside City Hall garnering hundreds of attendees.
Children aged between two and four are the last remaining category forced to wear masks, with Adams citing the fact that they remain ineligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Children aged five and above, however, can now go mask-less at school after Adams lifted the mask mandate last month.
But one mother told DailyMail.com that it was absurd that there was no requirement to check the vaccination status of five-year-olds before they go maskless.
'Why do two to four year olds have to mask, when unvaccinated five-year-olds don't?' she said.
A father added: 'Between nap time and meal or snack time, I think they are mask free about a third of the day anyway.'
Parents demanding that the mask mandate be lifted confronted Adams on Sunday
On Wednesday, Adams has said that a city attorney who was fired after berating him over child mask mandates at a press conference was terminated for her 'inappropriate' tweets.
Adams told reporters that he had no idea who Daniela Jampel was when the mother of three confronted him during a press conference about mask mandates for kids under five.
The mayor insisted that the city's Law Department, where Jampel had worked since 2016, had made the decision to fire her prior to the confrontation at Monday's press conference.
'Did not know who she was, did not make the call to fire her,' said Adams. 'It doesn't bother me when people call me names -- listen I'm an ex-cop, people have been calling me names for years.'
'But what she tweeted, sent out, it was inappropriate, and the Law Department made the decision and notified me of that prior to that press conference. I had no interaction with that at all.'

Adams did not clarify which of Jampel's tweets had triggered her termination, and a Law Department spokesman did not immediately respond to an inquiry from DailyMail.com on Wednesday afternoon.
Jampel is vocal on Twitter, and on Friday she had written that her 'summer goal is to chase down the ineffective and spineless NYC politicians (including @NYCMayor) who do nothing as public health petty bureaucrats continue to force toddlers to mask for no other reason than they can.'
Jampel is vocal on Twitter, and it's unclear which of her tweets Adams was referring to
The Law Department previously told DailyMail.com that Jampel had been fired for making 'made troubling claims' in public statements.
Adams said on Wednesday that he did not recognize Jampel when she confronted him on Monday.
'When she spoke, it was clear that she was not a reporter, but what did I do? I said, 'allow her to speak',' he said.
The mayor implied that she was part of a group that had threatened city officials.
'There is a group traveling around this city, banging on my health commissioner's door, shouting and screaming while his children are inside, threatening his life,' he said.
'There's a group running around this city who is the numerical minority, but they are loud so people believe they are the majority,' added Adams.
Jampel issued these tweets after her dismissal from NYC's Law Department, saying she regretted nothing and that 'the fight continues'
A source close to Jampel told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that her firing 'could not have been performance related' as she has been out of the office on maternity leave for several months.
The person also says that Jampel received email notice of her termination within 30 minutes of the press conference, and that her direct supervisor in the Law Department did not seem aware that she was being fired.
The source also strongly disputed City Hall's claim that Jampel 'lied' to get into the press conference by posing as a journalist.
'She did not pose as a member of the media to crash the press conference as has been reported,' the source added. 'She entered the press conference as everyone else did.'
A Law Department spokesman told DailyMail.com in a statement earlier this week: 'We hold all of our employees to the highest professional standards. In public statements, Ms. Jampel has made troubling claims about her work for the city Law Department.'
'Based on those statements, the decision had been made to terminate her prior to [Monday],' the spokesman added.
The statement added that Jampel's 'decision to lie to City Hall staff and state she was a journalist at a press conference, demonstrate a disturbing lack of judgment and integrity.'
Jampel on Twitter announced her intention to hire an attorney and told DailyMail.com: 'I can't really talk about it, until I have a lawyer.'

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Trump advisers Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino were held in contempt of Congress for their monthlong refusal to comply with subpoenas rendered by the House committee’s investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The two men on Wednesday became the latest members of former President Donald Trump's inner circle to face legal jeopardy as the select committee continues its more than nine-month-long probe into the worst attack on the Capitol in more than 200 years.
The near-party-line 220-203 vote will send the criminal referrals for Navarro and Scavino to the Justice Department for possible prosecution.
The contempt action followed hours of raw debate on the House floor as Republicans stood by Trump and charged that Democrats were trying to politicize the attack on the Capitol by his supporters.
House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy accused the Jan. 6 committee of “criminalizing dissent,” defended Scavino as a “good man” and lobbed harsh criticism at members of the committee, some by name. “Let’s be honest, this is a political show trial,” McCarthy said.
Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, among the nine members of the Jan. 6 panel, noted that the committee has two Republicans, including Liz Cheney of Wyoming. He added that the purpose of the floor vote was to make clear that “open contempt and mockery for this process, and for the rule of law” will not be allowed by the chamber.
“I mean, it is just amazing that they think they can get away with this,” the three-term lawmaker told reporters about Scavino and Navarro as the debate raged on Wednesday.
Cheney and Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who is also on the select committee, were the only Republicans who voted in favor of the contempt charges.
While pursuing contempt charges may not yield any new information for the Jan. 6 committee — any prosecutions could drag for months or years — the vote Wednesday was the latest attempt to show that witnesses will suffer consequences if they don’t cooperate or at least appear for questioning. It’s all part of an effort to claw back legislative authority that eroded during the Trump era when congressional subpoenas were often flouted and ignored.
“This vote will reveal to us who is willing to show tolerance for the intolerable,” Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland said on the floor, directing his comments to Republicans across the aisle.
Raskin and other Democrats made their case that Scavino and Navarro are among just a handful of individuals who have rebuffed the committee's requests and subpoenas for information. The panel has interviewed more than 800 witnesses so far.
In the last week alone, the committee scored two of those interviews from Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner. Their virtual testimonies are the closest lawmakers have gotten to the former president.
Members of the panel said Kushner's testimony last Thursday was helpful. Ivanka Trump, who was with her father in the White House on Jan. 6, was questioned for eight hours Tuesday as congressional investigators tried to piece together her father’s failed effort to delay the certification of the 2020 election results.
The main focus of the committee's outreach to the former first daughter surrounds a telephone call they say she witnessed from her father to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject Biden’s 2020 election win as part of his ceremonial role overseeing the electoral count. Pence rejected those efforts.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the chairman of the committee, highlighted Ivanka Trump's voluntary cooperation with the committee as opposed to Scavino and Navarro's defiance. Raskin said Scavino has "refused to testify before Congress about what he knows about the most dangerous and sweeping assault on the United States Congress since the War of 1812.”
The committee says Scavino helped promote Trump's false claims of a stolen election and was with him the day of the attack on the Capitol. As a result, he may have “materials relevant to his videotaping and tweeting” messages that day.
A lawyer for Scavino did not return multiple messages from The Associated Press seeking comment.
Navarro, 72, a former White House trade adviser, was subpoenaed in early February over his promotion of false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election that the committee believes contributed to the attack.
Navarro cited executive privilege when declining to testify, saying the committee “should negotiate this matter with President Trump.” He added, “If he waived the privilege, I will be happy to comply.”
But the Biden administration has already waived executive privilege for Navarro, Scavino and former national security adviser Michael Flynn, saying it was not justified or in the national interest for them to withhold their testimony.
Executive privilege was developed to protect a president’s ability to obtain candid counsel from his advisers without fear of immediate public disclosure, but it has limits. Courts have traditionally left questions of whether to invoke executive privilege up to the current White House occupant. The Supreme Court earlier this year rejected a bid by Trump to withhold documents from the committee.
The vote Wednesday will be the third time the panel has sent contempt charges to the House floor. The first two referrals, sent late last year, were for former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former Trump ally Steve Bannon.
The contempt referral against Bannon resulted in an indictment, with a trial set to start in July. The Justice Department has been slower to decide whether to prosecute Meadows, much to the frustration of the committee.
“It’s the committee’s hope that they will present it to a grand jury,” Thompson told reporters Tuesday. “Obviously, the Meadows case is still outstanding. We don’t really know where that is, other than we’ve done our work.”
He added, "The firewall goes up from our standpoint, and DOJ uses its systems to take it from there.”
Thompson suggested more witnesses could still be held in contempt in the weeks ahead even as the committee looks to wrap up the investigative portion of their work in the next two months.
A conviction for contempt of Congress carries a fine of up to $100,000 and up to a year in prison.

WUHAN, China, April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cubic Sensor & Instrument is showcasing a complete line of air and gas sensing technologies at Booth 555 at the SAE World Congress in Detroit, Michigan on April 5th through April 7th.
The Automotive Industry is seeing unprecedented growth in electric and hybrid vehicles. A culture of sustainability for future generations is driving car consumer vehicle purchasing trends away from conventional internal combustion engines towards greener choices like EV and Hybrid vehicles.
Automotive OEMs and tier-level suppliers are constantly innovating and developing battery technologies that can increase the vehicle driving range and shorten charging times. With the push to increase vehicle driving range and shorten charging times, thermal management of battery systems has become a critical topic with the goal of ensuring occupant and vehicle safety.
What is Thermal Runaway?
Increasing the driving range of vehicles can be achieved in multiple ways. The most common methods are: leveraging larger battery packs with more modules & cells, and implementing higher energy density cells. Regardless of how increased driving range is achieved, all battery systems are susceptible to thermal runaway.
Thermal runaway is when there is an internal short-circuit or failure within the battery or series of batteries that can lead to increased pressures and potential for combustion within the battery cell. This can result in the generation of smoke, fire, increased temperatures (up to 1,000˚C) or even explosion.
Battery Thermal Runaway Challenges
Thermal runaway of single battery cells within a large-scale lithium-ion battery is a well-known risk that can lead to critical situations if no counter measures are taken in today's lithium-ion traction batteries for battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. Fast and reliable detection of faulty battery cells undergoing thermal runaway within the lithium-ion battery is therefore a key factor in battery designs for comprehensive occupant and vehicle safety.
How Can Cubic "Solve" These Applications?
There are myriad case studies and white papers that have done in depth research and analysis on thermal runaway in EV and Hybrid vehicle battery systems. The goal of these case studies and white papers has been determining the best sensing methodology for early detection of thermal runaway. Plenty of global studies have shown that there is no single appropriate sensor for thermal runaway detection could identify all risks under different scenarios and each single sensor will have its own challenges and disadvantages. Depending on the battery design, a combination of two or more sensors are necessary to create a detection system to eliminate the shortcomings of a single sensor and improves the reliability of the entire system for thermal runaway applications.
Regardless of the failure mode – battery abuse, overheating, overcharging and nail penetration testing – carbon dioxide (CO2) was the leading indicator for thermal runaway and was present in the vent gas of the battery systems. This rapid increase of measured CO2 was followed by a subsequent increase in vent gas temperature and pressure to include the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
As one of the leading gas sensor manufacturers, Cubic Sensor & Instrument has commercialized an innovative and flexible earlier thermal runaway detection platform based on complete multi-technology platform of combination of NDIR, laser scattering, MEMS MOx and etc. This platform allows the OEMs or tier-level suppliers the ability to create early-warning detection systems for EV and Hybrid vehicle thermal runaway specific to the vehicle platform by measuring gases, temperature, pressure and aerosol particles.
Based on core sensing technologies, Cubic ODM capabilities are also second to none – lots of OEMs or tier-level suppliers have benefitted from Cubic multiple detection principles as well as flexible and fast Engineering and Manufacturing capabilities.
Cubic Sensor & Instrument Application Focus
The comprehensive technologies are designed to support emerging automotive application needs as well as some of the most difficult and cost-constrained air and gas detection applications. These technology platforms can be applied to:
- EV Battery Thermal Runaway
- Child Left Behind Detection
- EV HVAC System Optimization
- Automotive Refrigerant Leak Detection
- Driver Alertness Monitoring
- Cabin Air Quality Monitoring & Improvement
- Exhaust Gas Analysis

MATT JAY IS THE CAPTAIN OF EXETER CITY FC
We’re in a great place at the minute. Second in League Two, with just seven games to go, automatic promotion is firmly in our sights and, as you’d imagine, the mood at the Cliff Hill Training Ground is decidedly upbeat.
Since my last column, we’ve beaten Stevenage at St James Park and won away at Newport County to cement our place in the top three. And we’ll be looking for more of the same when we take on Carlisle United at Brunton Park on Saturday.
We’re under no illusions, it won’t be easy – no game is at this point of the season – but with the form we’re in, and the mood in the camp, we’re not frightened of anyone right now and will be looking to move three points closer to nailing down an automatic promotion spot. Plainly, it’s a long way to Cumbria and if we had nothing to play for on Saturday it’s a trip I imagine none of us would be much looking forward to.
Read More - Tickets flying out as Exeter City fans to 'pack the Park' for League Two run-in
As it is, we can’t wait and I’m sure all the travelling will seem much less of a chore than it has done on one or two occasions in the past. Conversely, Newport is always one of our closer away games and after eeking out a 1-0 victory at Rodney Parade on Saturday the journey home positively flew by.
Truth be told, it probably wasn’t the greatest of spectacles for the 1,000-plus travelling supporters, who, as ever, were in excellent voice throughout, but this was one of those occasions when the result meant everything. Had Newport won they’d have moved to within two points of us and would have been breathing down our neck, as it is they’re eight points behind us, having played a game more, and it will be a big ask for them to overturn that deficit between now and the end of the season.
In a game of precious few good chances, it was Tim Dieng who got the all-important goal when he got something on a free kick into the box from Jack Sparkes with 20 minutes to go. That’s 13 goals this season now for the Frenchman, just one less than me (MJ has 16 if you include the two against Bradford City in the first replay), and it’s plain I’ve got a battle on my hands if I want to be the club’s top scorer again this season.
On a personal note, I was disappointed to start on the bench and, even more so, not to make it onto the pitch at any stage. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t upset to miss out, albeit the result ensured it didn’t hurt quite as much as it might have done.
Looking forward, I want to be more than a bit-part player for our remaining seven games and the disappointment of sitting out Saturday has only fuelled my desire to reclaim my place in the starting line-up. From a physical perspective, the break will have done me no harm, while it’s also provided me with an opportunity to refocus ahead of a huge four or five weeks. Suffice to say, I’m in a good headspace and can’t wait to get going again.
Sam Stubbs opened his account for the club with both our goals in the 2-1 victory over Stevenage the weekend before last. Stubbsy, who has been exceptional since returning from injury, has been threatening to score for a few weeks now and made no mistake against Boro getting his head firmly on the end of two first-half corners to send us in at half-time 2-1 to the good.
I think it’s fair to say, we may have been a little fortunate with Sam’s second goal, in that he clearly benefitted from using a Stevenage defender for a bit of leverage. And, as I conceded previously, we probably got away with one when Tim’s second goal in our previous home game against Crawley Town was allowed to stand.
That said, I can’t remember too many other dubious decisions going our way this season, so it was about time one or two did. I should probably have extended our lead midway through the second half when I snatched at a chance, in front of the Big Bank, to put the game to bed.
It was very similar to the one I scored against Swindon at SJP earlier in the month but sadly, on this occasion, it went the wrong side of the post. Fortunately, we held on for a relatively comfortable victory, although the visitors made us work for it in the closing stages.
Aside from the three points, and Sam’s brace of goals, there were just a couple of other things I’d take away from the Stevenage game. Firstly, the atmosphere within the ground, especially in the final 15 to 20 minutes, was a bit special, with noise coming from all sides. Fingers crossed it will get even better as the season approaches its climax. Secondly, the man-of-the-match performance of Callum Rowe marked him out as someone with a real future.
Having been recalled from his loan spell at Bath to make his first league start at Port Vale just four days earlier, Callum was exceptional against Boro – at ease on the ball throughout and demonstrating real vision with his passing. For sure, the ex-Aston Villa youngster has had to be patient since arriving at SJP in the summer. However, given the opportunity to impress he’s taken it with both hands and, if he continues in the same vein, it’s easy to envisage we will see an awful lot more of him in the 2022-23 campaign.
As I mentioned previously, I was really looking forward to seeing my former teammates Ethan Ampadu and Ollie Watkins in international action for Wales and England respectively and I’m happy to say neither disappointed. Amps was solid as ever in Wales beat Austria 2-1 to move within a game of making it to December’s World Cup, while Ollie seized the opportunity presented to him by a late call-up to the England squad for the games against Switzerland and the Ivory Coast.
A late substitute against the Swiss, Ollie bagged his second goal, on his first start, for the national side in the game against the West African nation. It’s remarkable to think that, at the age of just 21, Amps has 33 Wales caps. Fingers crossed, he will get the opportunity to add a few more in Qatar later this year.
And while it won’t be easy for Ollie to bag one of the places in the England squad for the tournament, such is Gareth Southgate’s wealth of attacking options, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility. Certainly, his performance in England’s 3-0 win over the Ivory Coast will have done his chances no harm and, what’s more, if, heaven forbid, anything were to happen to Harry Kane then Ollie would be one of the more obvious candidates to step in and perform a similar role.
Never mind the World Cup, such is the excitement surrounding Exeter City right now, I don’t think there’s any need for me to do a ‘hard sell’ on our four remaining home games. At the same time, I understand tickets are going fast so, if you want to make sure you don’t miss out, I’d encourage you not to leave it until the last minute to get your hands on yours.
In the meantime, here’s hoping that by the time I catch up with you again next week we’ll be three points closer to League One football next season!

US experts wrestle with how to update COVID-19 vaccines
WASHINGTON (AP) - More than two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. health officials are beginning to grapple with how to keep the vaccines updated to best protect Americans from the ever-changing coronavirus.
On Wednesday, a panel of vaccine advisers to the Food and Drug Administration spent hours debating key questions for revamping the shots and conducting future booster campaigns. They didn’t reach any firm conclusions.
The questions facing the experts included: How often to update the vaccines against new strains, how effective they should be to warrant approval and whether updates should be coordinated with global health authorities.
Last week, the FDA authorized a fourth dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines for anyone 50 or older and for some younger people with severely weakened immune systems. It’s an effort to get ahead of another possible surge.
But the FDA’s vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks acknowledged at the meeting “we simply can’t be boosting people as frequently as we are.” He called the latest booster update a “stopgap” measure to protect vulnerable Americans while regulators decide whether and how to tweak the current vaccines.
Marks cautioned that waning vaccine protection, new variants and colder weather in the fall could raise the risk of more surges.
“Our goal here is to stay ahead of future variants and outbreaks and ensure we do our best to reduce the toll of disease and death due to COVID-19,” said Marks, adding that he expects more meetings of the vaccine panel in coming months.
Some of the key questions the panel discussed:
HOW SHOULD THE U.S. DECIDE WHEN TO LAUNCH FUTURE ROUNDS OF BOOSTER SHOTS?
One area where experts appeared to agree is that vaccines should be judged on their ability to prevent severe disease that leads to hospitalization and death.
“We need to focus on the worst case, which is severe disease, and we need to change strains when we’re losing that battle,” said Dr. Mark Sawyer of the University of California, San Diego.
By that measure, the current vaccines have held up remarkably well.
During the last omicron-driven surge, two vaccine doses were nearly 80% effective against needing a breathing machine or death — and a booster pushed that protection to 94%, federal scientists recently reported.
But only about half of Americans eligible for a third shot have gotten one. And many experts said it was unsustainable to continue asking Americans to get boosted every few months.
A panelist from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggested that the 80% protection from severe disease could become the standard for evaluating the vaccines.
“I think we may have to accept that level of protection and then use other alternative ways to protect individuals with therapeutics and other measures,” said Dr. Amanda Cohn, CDC’s chief medical officer.
Presentations at the meeting by government health officials and independent researchers underscored the challenges of predicting when the next major COVID-19 variant might appear.
Trevor Bedford, a disease modeler with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, said a major new strain like omicron could emerge anywhere from every 1.5 years to once a decade, based on currently available data. Given that unpredictability, researchers will need methods to quickly determine whether current vaccines work against emerging variants.
WHAT’S THE PROCESS FOR UPDATING VACCINES TO ADDRESS NEW VARIANTS?
All three COVID-19 vaccines now used in the U.S. are based on the original coronavirus version that emerged in late 2019. Updating the vaccines will be a complex task, likely requiring coordination between the FDA, manufacturers and global health authorities.
To speed the vaccines to market, the FDA relied on research shortcuts to judge effectiveness, mainly looking at their early impact on the immune system’s antibody levels. A number of panelists said Wednesday they wanted more rigorous data from studies that track patients over time to see who gets sick or dies.
But that approach would likely be too time consuming.
“We’re looking at a conundrum here in that it’s going to be hard to generate all the data we want in short order when a new variant emerges,” said Dr. Ofer Levy of Harvard Medical School.
A representative for the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority laid out the narrow window that manufacturers could face to reformulate, study and mass produce an updated vaccine by September.
“If you’re not on your way to a clinical trial by the beginning of May, I think it’s going to be very difficult to have enough product across manufacturers to meet demand,” said Robert Johnson, deputy assistant secretary of BARDA.
The process for updating annual flu vaccines offers one possible model, as laid out by a representative from the World Health Organization.
Twice a year, WHO experts recommend updates to flu vaccines to target emerging strains. The FDA then brings those recommendations to its own vaccine panel, which votes on whether they make sense for the U.S., setting the stage for manufacturers to tweak their shots and begin mass production.
But COVID-19 hasn’t yet fallen into a predictable pattern like the flu. And as the coronavirus evolves, different strains may become dominant in different regions of the world.
Several experts said they would need more meetings with more data and proposals from the FDA to decide on a strategy.
“We’ve never been here before. We’re all working together to do the best we can and it’s very complex,” said Oveta Fuller of the University of Michigan’s Medical School.

When politicians play doctor, everybody suffers
Texas politicians have a unique ability to consider themselves members of the medical profession and proclaim their own remedy to cure any difficulty they find, no matter the symptoms or complexity. In many instances, their political base has been no closer to a medical education than when they last updated their personal rabies shots. Every large, reputable association within the medical profession has proclaimed that gender-affirming health care for transgender children is a delicate and often difficult medical situation. However, our Governer Greg Abbott (also known as the Guv) and the attorney general have decided that this care is to be criminally punished as child abuse. Once again, our Guv has managed to find a difficult situation and weaponize it to use in his political campaign and for campaign fundraising.
It started when the Guv decided that he knew best the way to slow the progress of COVID-19. Instead of relying on science, the medical profession, and local political leaders, he decided that he would determine when masking and social distancing would or would not be used, despite the fact that every group with a background in medicine proved that masking and social distancing could cut down on the number of COVID cases. The Guv instead decided once again to weaponize a medical condition and use it for his own benefit. To date, over 85,000 Texans have died, and nobody is certain how many thousands of these people could have been saved if the Guv had encouraged them to follow the advice of science and the medical profession.
Supported by his base, and the lieutenant governor, he charged the windmill of science like a rabid Don Quixote. Our attorney general will sue at the drop of a campaign contribution any individual, agency or state when he has the chance. He knows he will never have to pay the legal bills encountered. Even when slapped down by the United States Supreme Court for having no grounds for his frivolous pursuit, he will persist in suing every target he can find because he knows the cost will come out of the public coffers. Of course, he can’t file legal documents as fast as he would because so many of his staff lawyers have resigned or filed charges against him. I’m certain that the lieutenant governor is foaming at the mouth because he has no role to play except as a sideline cheerleader in the latest fundraiser of the Guv and his favorite clown. The state of Texas could save millions if the Guv and his hungry pack of campaign fund chasers would leave medicine to the doctors.
Unfortunately, even the National Republican Party has decided to enter the medical fray by announcing that when they win control of the House and the Senate the first item on their old agenda will be to abolish the Affordable Care Act. They don’t seem to care that this will effectively deny affordable health insurance to 14.5 million Americans, most of them working poor and communities of color.
Our present president has always engendered an air like your beloved uncle. He is hard put to say crass words like “damn” and “hell” and might conjure more feelings of manhood if he did so. We should remember one politician whose profanity was so great that it can seldom appear in a family publication, but Lyndon Baines Johnson almost single-handedly pushed through the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He was known to be a ruthless foul-talking politician who rewarded his friends and punished his enemies. Maybe our current president would remember a man who took on the entire South and won Civil Rights for millions of Americans.
Uncle Joe will never be a Lyndon Baines Johnson, but maybe we can spiff him up a bit. I would suggest we take up a collection or maybe start a GoFundMe and buy the president a bomber jacket and a fedora and feed him some lines from any of the Indiana Jones films, though we should leave out the bullwhip. Maybe we could call him Dover Joe and send him to save a historic Ukraine monastery full of beautiful Javelin anti-tank missiles.

Montverde Academy junior Zyaire Nuriddin ran the nation’s fastest 400-meter dash time for the season, 45.78 seconds, in last weekend’s Florida Relays track and field festival at the University of Florida.
And two other Orlando area runners who were chasing him also set school records.
Boone junior football/track standout Aidan Mizell placed second with a time of 46.99. DeLand senior, the state leader in the 100, crossed the line at 47.82 for fourth.
Mizell’s time is sixth on the national list according to MileSplit.com.
“When you go against great competition you also play better,” said Mizell, who crushed his 2021 best of 48.55, which was good for a fifth-place finish in the Class 4A state meet.
Williams’ previous 400 best was 48.67 from a year ago.
Nuriddin, who was the Delaware track athlete of the year last season, ran the sixth fastest quarter mile in Florida high school history.
Hagerty’s distance duo of juniors Miguel Pantojas and Brayden Seymour shined again at UF.
Pantojas smashed his own school record with a winning 1:52.71 time.
Seymour ran a state-leading 1,600 time of 4:13.62 to win that event. He is flying with coach Jay Getty to California to run the mile in the prestigious Arcadia Invitational this weekend.
Jones senior Lorenzo Laurenzano (1:53.05) set a school record 1:53.05 and Apopka junior Noah Musselwhite ran 1:53.95 as both finished in the top six in the fast 800.
McPherson meet at Seminole
The inaugural Ernest McPherson Invitational will be contested at Seminole High School’s new rubberized track on Friday.
McPherson retired at the end of the 2020-21 school year after serving Sanford for over 50 years as a coach at Crooms and then Seminole. He was head football coach for Seminole in the 1990s, also coached basketball and baseball, and was an assistant to ‘Noles track and field coach Ken Brauman for more than 20 years.
The long-awaited installation of the new track gave Brauman’s tradition-rich program the opportunity to host meets for the first time in more than 15 years. Seminole will also host the Seminole Athletic Conference meet next Wednesday.
The McPherson meet starts with field events at 4 p.m., leading to the 4×800 races at 5 and running finals at 6:30.
DeLand’s Williams is expected to run the 200 and 400 in a field that includes Seminole speedster Amari Turner.
Winter Springs senior Caroline Wells, the state record holder in the 3,200 and 5K on the track and in cross country, is set to run the 800 and a 4×400 relay leg. Her 800 personal best is 2:13.55.
Here is a list of the top eight area performers in every event based on the FlRunners.com database and timing services. We include schools from Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake and west Volusia counties.

Cinco de Mayo is a time to celebrate, and if your go-to liquor is tequila, you're in luck. We've got plenty of margaritas, mimosas, and more made with you in mind.
Tequila is far from being just the shot-glass favorite to chase with salt and lime. Derving from the agave plant, tequila comes in five distinct forms with very different flavor profiles: tequila blanco, tequila añejo, tequila reposado, tequila joven, and extra añejo.
Blanco (also known as "silver") is un-aged and the perfect addition to your next margarita, but be sure to try a tequila reposado, which is aged for two months in oak barrels, for a spicier spin. If you love sipping tequila neat or want an easy swap for whiskey, look no further than tequila añejo, which is aged at least a year in oak barrels. Whatever tequila you choose, you can always count on a rich amber color to note quality, but do steer clear of "gold" labeled tequilas, as they often have unnecessary additives and flavorings.
And don't get us started on our smoky favorite: mezcal. Fun fact: While both tequila and mezcal come from the agave plant, tequila is made exclusively from blue agave, while mezcal comes from any variety of agave plant and is cooked in pits to develop that signature smokey flavor. Feel free to swap your favorite mezcal into any of these cocktail recipes!
Think we're stopping at just tequila? Not so fast. We've got fun spins on tequila-based drinks with the addition of some other boozy supporting characters (like champagne cocktails). Bet you can't say "Mimosa Margarita" five times fast. We even have some drink recipes with more surprising ingredients (ummm, cabbage?), which I think means these cocktails technically count as a salad.
And if you need some food to go with those cocktails, try our best Cinco de Mayo party recipes!

The mass killing that left six people dead and 12 wounded outside bars just blocks from California’s Capitol last weekend was a gunfight involving at least five shooters from rival gangs, Sacramento police said Wednesday.
Police said they identified at least five gunmen but there may have been more. Only two suspects — both brothers wounded by gunfire — have been arrested in connection with the shooting and, so far, only face firearms charges.
“We’re still working through … who the actual shooters are in the case,” Sgt. Zach Eaton said.
Until Wednesday’s announcement, police had been silent on what led to the shooting that erupted early Sunday as bars were letting out. Rapid-fire bursts of over 100 gunshots echoed through the streets as terrified patrons ran for their lives and others were hit by bullets.
Authorities credited witnesses who contributed nearly 200 videos, photos and other tips with helping the investigation.
Police declined to name the gangs involved or the affiliation of any suspects.
One of the brothers in custody was freed from prison about two months ago and last year was rejected for earlier release after prosecutors argued he “clearly has little regard for human life,” documents show.
Smiley Martin, 27, who was released on probation in February, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun. Hours before Sunday’s attack, Martin posted a live Facebook video of himself brandishing a handgun, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
Police were trying to determine if a stolen handgun found at the crime scene was used in the massacre. It had been converted to a weapon capable of automatic gunfire.
Detectives also were trying to determine whether the gun Martin brandished in the video was used, according to the official, who was briefed on the investigation but was not authorized to publicly discuss details and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Martin and his brother were among those wounded when gunfire erupted about a block from the state Capitol at about 2 a.m. Sunday as bars closed and patrons filled the streets.
Investigators have said previously that they were trying to determine if a street fight outside a nightclub may have sparked the shooting.
The Sacramento County coroner identified the three women killed as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21. The three men killed were Sergio Harris, 38; Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32; and De’vazia Turner, 29.
Ten people were wounded in addition to the Martin brothers and at least two remained hospitalized with gunshot wounds.
Smiley Martin was arrested in the hospital and will be booked when his condition improves enough for him to be jailed, police said.
His brother, Dandrae Martin, 26, was arrested Monday as a “related suspect” and appeared briefly Tuesday in Sacramento Superior Court on a charge of being a convict carrying a loaded gun.
Investigators believe both brothers had stolen guns and are trying to determine how they got them, the law enforcement official told the AP.
A 31-year-old man seen carrying a handgun immediately after the shooting was arrested Tuesday on a weapons charge. Police said they don’t believe his gun was used in the shooting.
Smiley Martin has a criminal history dating to 2013. He was released on probation from state prison in February after serving about half of a 10-year sentence for punching a girlfriend, dragging her from her home by her hair and whipping her with a belt, prosecutors said.
Martin might have been released sooner, but a Parole Board rejected his bid for early release in May after prosecutors said the 2017 felony assault along with convictions for possessing an assault weapon and thefts posed “a significant, unreasonable risk of safety to the community.”
Martin “clearly has little regard for human life and the law,” and has displayed a pattern of criminal behavior from the time he was 18, a Sacramento County deputy district attorney wrote in a letter last year to the Board of Parole Hearings.
It wasn’t clear if Smiley Martin had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Dandrae Martin, who was held without bail, was freed from an Arizona prison in 2020 after serving just over 18 months for violating probation in separate cases involving marijuana possession and aggravated assault.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg told reporters Wednesday he had “serious questions” about why the brothers “were out on the streets.”
“And those questions need to be answered and they will be answered over the days ahead,” Steinberg said.
Defense lawyer Linda Parisi said any effort to seek Dandrae Martin’s release on bail will depend on whether prosecutors bring stiffer charges.
“If it turns out that the evidence demonstrates that this was mere presence at a scene that certainly argues more for a release,” Parisi said. “If it shows some more aggressive conduct then it would argue against it. But we don’t know that yet.”

In mid-March, an ABC News/Ipsos poll revealed what most Americans are feeling during these days of seemingly higher and higher inflation. What has always been a key element is how a president is judged is on “pocketbook” issues or how much money Americans take out of their pockets to pay for routine bills.
The poll, according to Brittany Shepherd of ABC News, shows that 70 percent of those polled disapprove of the way President Joe Biden is handling inflation.
Likewise, 70 percent of those polled also disapprove of gasoline prices while 58 percent of those polled disapprove of the way the economic recovery is going.
Although it took weeks for the president to get there, a huge 77 percent of those polled support the administration’s proposed ban on Russian oil. The poll was taken during the period of March 11-12, 2022.
NBC News released a poll in late March that also revealed battering disapproval numbers, including 71 percent who do not have confidence in the president’s ability to respond to the war in Ukraine. The poll shows that 55 percent of those polled disapprove of the job President Biden is doing.
The NBC News poll also showed the following: 60 percent disapprove of the president’s handling of the economy and 55 percent disapprove of his overall performance, while 40 percent approve.
Interestingly, Real Clear Politics (RPC) uses an average for several polls to rate the president.
On the overall performance on the economy, the RPC average is 58.4 percent disapproval; on immigration the RPC average is 58.5 percent disapproval; on foreign policy the RCP average is 54.3 percent disapproval; and the RCP average for the direction the country is heading is 65 percent disapproval.
Although this column is about the president’s polling numbers, it is fair to note that Americans that are polled are not happy with Congress either. The Congressional job approval is at a paltry 21.8 percent while 67.8 percent in the RCP average of polls disapprove of the job Congress is doing.
Republicans may get giddy over the polling numbers, especially since we are approaching a midterm election. Already there are those who are counting on the GOP to pick up seats in both houses of Congress, enough to change the balance of power back to Republicans. Such discussions also permeate conversations on social media and among friends over breakfast and dinner. Do not, if you are a Republican, get overly excited.
Republicans should be warned. Democrats will not stop working until all the ballots are counted next November, and even then, many of their agencies and political arms will continue to develop strategy to keep Republicans off balance, including their continued effort to use the courts to develop legislative policy on their behalf.
That’s why this year’s court races on every level will be important for Republicans to challenge and win. Voters in 2018 approved a constitutional amendment for Voter ID, with 55 percent of the voters saying “yes.”
Despite the fact more than 2 million North Carolinians voted for Voter ID, the Democrat Party and the ruling of judges have kept the law from being enacted.
Republicans picked up two seats on the North Carolina Supreme Court in the last election, narrowing the split on the court to 4-3 in favor of Democrats.
Two seats are up for re-election this year, and both are Democrat justices — Robin Hudson and Sam Ervin IV. Republicans have an opportunity to flip the court in this election with strong, viable candidates.
They may not have a better year to do it, especially if Biden’s numbers stay as they are now.
Of course, we remain seven months removed from the general election. Much can change in that time frame. Could inflation be reduced, along with cheaper gasoline and grocery prices?
Could the sanctions on Russia work and starve them out of Ukraine? These issues, if they are reversed, could affect the thinking of voters at or near election time.
One thing is certain. Most Americans are not being duped by the talking heads at the White House, or the media for that matter, that are trying to spin gasoline prices and the like on everyone (including Russia) but where the blame lies. That’s with Joe Biden and his administration’s policies.
Even the hashtag #PutinsPriceHike used by White House communications director Kate Bedingfield didn’t catch fire on Twitter.
Instead, it was met with “BidenEnergyBan” from Twitter user CasualMeyhem, according to Twitchy.com. Have fun reading the tweets.

Government ministers have defended the significance of making Matariki a public holiday, as some members of the Opposition debated its timing, and possible negative impacts on the economy.
Legislation to create the annual public holiday, acknowledging the rise of the Matariki star cluster and marking the Māori New Year, passed its third reading on Thursday.
While most were in favour, members like National’s Paul Goldsmith questioned its timing.
“We on the National Party side of the house are very supportive of having this celebration of Matariki recognised as a public holiday, it’s important.
“What our concern around the bill is, quite a natural one, is to say it’s our view that rather than adding another holiday to our list, this should have been brought in replacing one of the current ones.”
READ MORE: Explainer: What is Matariki?
He likened the Government to being in some kind of “Father Christmas role” in handing out public holidays.
“Because it’s very easy for Grant Robertson to rock up to his office and sign his little pen and say ‘yes everybody will have another public holiday’ in fact I’m a little bit surprised he hasn’t come up with five public holidays.”
Robertson spoke after Goldsmith, highlighting the significance of the holiday, saying it was a celebration of Aotearoa New Zealand.
“This is a recognition of tikanga Māori, of the te ao Māori view of the world and a celebration of who we can be as a nation.
“It’s not just about making sure that New Zealanders can have another day off, it’s about building a culture in New Zealand where we understand and appreciate one another.”
READ MORE: Future Matariki public holiday dates revealed
Kelvin Davis called out the response of some Opposition members for reducing Matariki “to a commodity”.
“The belittling, the despising, the degrading, the undermining of something that is really important to Māori," Davis said.
He said the Matariki Bill was “not just about a holiday".
“This is about the celebration of us as Māori, in fact of us as New Zealanders. This is something unique to Aotearoa that we can revel in, that we can enjoy, that we can use as a nation-building opportunity.”
The first public holiday date for Matariki falls on June 24 2022.
Greens react
The Green Party is happy with New Zealand's newest public holiday, stating in a media release:
“Matariki will be our first public holiday that recognises Te Ao Māori. It is a time for us to honour those we have lost since the last rising of Matariki, to celebrate the present and to plan for the new season ahead,” Teanau Tuiono, Green Party spokesperson for education, said.
“If we prioritise and embed Matariki into the education system, we will enhance the wellbeing of tamariki and young people, strengthen connections to Taiao and to Mātauranga Māori, and protect the natural environment for years to come.
“We can do that by embedding ecological sustainability into our schools. This needs to be supported by professional development for teachers along with teaching and learning resources."
ACT joins opposing voices
ACT's Small Business spokesperson Chris Baillie was not happy with the bill's passing on Thursday.
"The new Matariki public holiday represents a $450 million tax that will be the final straw for some businesses,” he said in a media release.
“As ACT has been saying ever since Jacinda first mooted the ludicrous idea in September 2020, if Matariki becomes a public holiday than another one needs to be abolished to ensure businesses aren’t taking on more costs.
“MBIE told the Government the holiday will cost businesses $450 million. Even with businesses still suffering as a result of unworkable rules and a recession on the cards, the Government can’t resist forging ahead with yet another ideological attack on middle New Zealand."

When I was 11 years old, beginning my first adventure on the path of fitness, I was overwhelmed with the idea of getting to lift weights at the gym. My arrival on the weight floor made me as giddy as a dentist's child walking through a candy store. The sensation of wielding a heavy object and manipulating it to move where I wanted to was fascinating.
After a few weeks of using my twig-like arms to perform nothing but bicep curls with five-pound dumbbells, I ventured down the dumbbell rack toward the 10-pound weights then, eventually the 15-pound weights. I was on the road to becoming the reincarnation of Hercules.
Muscle and Fitness and Men’s Health magazines quickly became my version of comic books. My dad would purchase the newest issue from the magazine rack at the checkout stand of the grocery store and throw it at the door of my room when he had the chance.
Each magazine included copious amounts of pictures of elite athletes, fitness models and competitive bodybuilders. This fitness magazine kept me intrigued as to what results I could obtain if I complied with its exercise recommendations.
People are also reading…
The workouts in my new favorite magazines included six-day workout routines. Two days for chest and triceps, two days for back and biceps, and two days for legs. Gifted with this treasure map to one day look like Arnold Schwarzenegger pumping iron at Venice Beach, I hit the gym six times a week.
After six months of adhering to this program, I developed what some people would call muscles on my stick-figure-like frame. If you ever saw an 11-year-old flex his gun (known as biceps back in the 90s), you probably couldn’t tell if anything was occurring. The comparison was akin to the density of toothpicks and dental floss.
However, in my mind, I was a giant who didn’t think he was the man, I knew I was the man. “Step aside Chuck Norris, there’s a new sheriff in town,” were my thoughts as confidence flowed through my spirit thanks to the navigation of what exercises to perform at my sacred place in the gym.
Not to mention, I was guzzling down the protein powder advertised in each magazine that I purchased with my weekly allowance. This program offered me the physiological improvement and emotional confidence I needed as a young, scrawny and insecure youngster.
Sounds like an excellent plan for an 11-year-old who has the time to head to the gym six times a week. Enter the world of what some would call “being an adult.” Kids, mortgages and careers introduce a new challenge to the time we allocate to our daily lives. With these confounding lifestyle variables, heading to the gym six times a week to work specific body parts laid out in a magazine filled with the fitness models' training protocols doesn’t seem as attainable as it once was when all we had to worry about was getting home before the sun went down.
As our time is occupied by life’s requirements, our efforts to get into the gym become a challenge. However, if lack of time impedes us from performing our much-needed exercise, perhaps we can bolster the quality of our exercise routines by utilizing what time we have available.
A solution to this problem is to focus on exercises that cover a significant area of muscles throughout each movement. Compound exercises are movements that utilize more than one muscle group. For example, exercise techniques such as squats, pushups and pulling movements use more than one joint in the body. This means that multiple muscle groups are being activated at once.
Suppose we can focus on compound exercises and perform them with proper form to accentuate the muscles responsible for these large movements. In that case, we can accommodate multiple muscles groups in one action.
Furthermore, performing large compound movements replaces the need to exercise specific body parts on designated days. Therefore, if time is an issue, choose a compound lower body, a compound upper body pushing, and a compound upper body pulling technique. These movements can be as simple as the squat, a push-up and a dumbbell row. By focusing on the flawless execution of each of these techniques, we can replace the need to hit the gym six times a week.
Allocating an hour to the gym two to three times per week gives us the physiological, psychological and emotional adaptations to help us live a happy, healthy, and vigorous life. Make sure to work smart and not hard in the gym to give our bodies, mind, and spirit the attention they deserve.
Set a timer, schedules a day in your calendar, and spend one hour two to three times a week in your preferred gym setting and focus on a full-body routine. Perform compound movements with impeccably flawless technique to achieve similar, if not better, results than a young and clueless 11-year-old who has more time than you.

A public health leader who suggested doctors should take a pay cut to help reduce health inequalities has retired from Scotland’s biggest health board.
Dr Linda de Caestecker has been praised for her “passionate” efforts to improve the life chances of people living in Glasgow’s most deprived areas.
Her annual report in 2009 year noted that a 15-year-old boy in a deprived area of the city had only a 50% chance of reaching his 60th birthday, while for his counterpart in a more affluent area the chance was 90%.
Jane Grant, chief executive of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said Dr de Caestecker had led significant public health improvements over her 16-year tenure as Director of Public Health.
She was an early supporter of a minimum pricing policy for alcohol, which was introduced by the Scottish Government in May 2018 and was credited for a decline in consumption. A firm believer that good child health starts at conception, she also led initiatives which aimed to keep mothers well during pregnancy.

She was preparing to retire in 2020 when Covid struck and remained in post to lead Glasgow’s response to the pandemic.
In 2009, Dr de Caestecker courted controversy in her own profession by saying society would benefit if the medical profession was paid less.
She told The Herald that doctors, including herself, should consider a reduction in salary and stop demanding significant pay increases every year and suggested pay inequalities could help solve Scotland’s entrenched health problems.
Asked if she would be willing to sacrifice some of her own income, Dr de Caestecker said: “I suppose the simple answer is yes, if it was done in a fair and transparent way and was about redistributing income across the pay scales between the well-off and less-well-off.”
The earning power of doctors became particularly controversial after new contracts boosted salaries while cutting working hours in 2004.
A graduate of the University of Glasgow, Dr de Caestecker originally trained as an obstetrician and gynaecologist but 30 years of her career were spent in public health and she joined NHSGGC in 2006.

In 1977, while studying at the University of Glasgow, she noticed a street sign for The Leprosy Mission Scotland. She asked whether the charity ever needed trainee doctors to volunteer abroad and she spent that summer volunteering in a hospital in Karigari in the south of India.
She said of her experience: “Not only had I never been to a country like that before, but I was also young and had never before seen such shocking disabilities like those that come from leprosy.”
Jane Grant said: “Linda has been hugely passionate about tackling various issues related to her line of work, including deprivation, health inequalities and women and children’s health and rights.
READ MORE: Community groups key to driving down inequalities 'not scientists'
“Linda and her team have delivered a significant number of public health and health improvement interventions over the past 16 years to benefit the health of the people of Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
“When Glasgow played host to not only one but two major international events – the Commonwealth Games and COP 26, Linda led her team to provide the city and the organisers with expert public health advice and outbreak management. Linda was preparing to retire when Covid struck.
“Whilst very few could have been prepared for an unprecedented global pandemic, Linda’s experience and expertise made her more qualified than most to lead the charge in NHSGGC’s response to Covid-19, keeping the people protected, informed and assured.
“We wish her a long, happy and healthy retirement.”
Following Dr de Caestecker’s retirement, Dr Emilia Crighton has been appointed interim director of public health for the board.

Benzema, 34, scored two headed goals in the space of three first-half minutes and then pounced on an error by Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy just after halftime to put the Spaniards in control of the tie before Tuesday’s second leg in Madrid.

Kai Havertz had restored some hope to the Blues when he headed in an angled pass from Jorginho in the 40th minute to make it 2-1.
But Chelsea’s chances of a comeback were undone by Mendy’s mistake in the 46th minute when, outside his box, he tried to pass to Antonio Rudiger only for Benzema to intercept and steer the ball into an empty net for his 37th goal of the season.

MANITOU SPRINGS — Springtime in Colorado oftentimes means more bear encounters or, at least, sightings.
That happened near Cave of the Winds recently, a black bear scampered through an empty parking lot there. As you can see in the video, the bear ran across and back into a more wooded area. No people were threatened or hurt.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds us that black bears (a species – not a color) are very wary of people and other unfamiliar things. Their normal response to any perceived danger is to run away or climb a tree.
According to CPW, Colorado bears are active from mid-March through early November. They head for their winter dens when their food sources dwindle.
And it’s important not to leave food or trash out where a bear could come across it. CPW notes that once a bear finds food – they’ll come back for more. So for their safety and ours, be bear aware!

Counting underway for Bihar legislative council polls
- Country:
- India
Counting of votes for 24 Bihar Legislative Council seats is underway amid tight security arrangements, election officials said on Thursday.
Polling for the two dozen seats were held on Monday.
Nearly 1.32 lakh voters shall be deciding the fate of 185 candidates across 534 polling booths, one each for every administrative block.
The tenure of 24 seats in the 75-strong upper house had ended in July last year, but elections had to be put off because of circumstances arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Five of the seats fell vacant before expiry of term, owing to deaths of MLCs or their election to the assembly.

As tradition dictates, there is now very bad news to report about Canadian golfers Mike Weir and Mackenzie Hughes.
Neither will win the Masters.
That is, if you believe the superstition — or at least, believe in the history. No player has won the Par 3 Contest and gone on to win the Masters in the same year, a trend that Weir and Hughes will both try to buck when this year’s tournament starts Thursday in Augusta, Ga.
Weir and Hughes shared the Par 3 title on Wednesday, both finishing 4 under. Play started late because of the threat of weather and ended early when more inclement weather was approaching the area.
“It’s fun. This is a very special day for me,” Hughes said. “This is my third Masters and my first Par 3 Contest. I was really excited to get out here and do this. Very lucky that the weather held off for us.”
Depending on how you count, Hughes either had three caddies or zero caddies. He carried his own bag, while caddy No. 1 (his wife) kept watchful eyes on caddies No. 2 and No. 3 (their kids).
In a week that is all business, it's a day that is anything but. #themasters pic.twitter.com/nA7a87zjgw
— The Masters (@TheMasters) April 7, 2022
“My youngest, Cohen, he’s 16 months on Monday, so he wanted to get after every ball on the green, heading towards lakes,” Hughes said. “So, definitely priority No. 1 was to keep them on grass. Did that.”
It was the first Par 3 event at the Masters — the traditional, family friendly Wednesday afternoon prequel to the real thing — since 2019. The 2020 and 2021 events didn’t happen because of the pandemic.
Some of the “patrons” on the short course, with holes ranging from 70 to about 140 yards in length, didn’t exactly behave. Sergio Garcia missed the green at No. 1, perhaps because a child loudly announced during Garcia’s swing that he’d be taking a turn next. Kids ran on the greens, others jumped up and down by the tee boxes.
Obviously, nobody minded.
“Special family time,” Justin Rose said.
Caddies hit balls into the water, wives took putts for their tour-player husbands — Lacey Homa had a birdie for her husband Max — and about 40 players were technically ineligible to win because someone else played their ball at some point during the contest.
Again, nobody minded that, either.
“I think as you get older you understand to appreciate even more,” said 1987 Masters champion Larry Mize, who finished a shot back Wednesday. “Having the Par 3 back this year is a blast. It is so special. I can’t put into words how special it is.”
There are 11 men who have won both the Masters and the Par-3 Contest — Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Ben Crenshaw, Raymond Floyd, Vijay Singh, Mark O’Meara, Tommy Aaron, Sandy Lyle, Gay Brewer and Art Wall Jr.
Just never in the same year.
Weir, however, said he didn’t believe in the Par 3 winning jinx.
“You come out and you want to hit some good shots and get a good feel and leave a good taste in your mouth,” Weir said.
NOTABLE OMISSION
Something’s missing from the Masters this year. And as it turns out, even Augusta National isn’t immune from an increasingly common issue these days.
The Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich — possibly one of the finest $2 desserts in the free world — hasn’t been available at Augusta National this week.
The official reason: Supply chain issues.
All the other traditional concession items are back at the Masters, with a couple of mild menu tweaks. Egg salad and pimento cheese sandwiches remain priced at $1.50. A couple of sandwich prices — ham and cheese, and turkey and cheese — were increased 50 cents to $3 apiece. And a new $3 egg, meat and cheese breakfast sandwich is on this year’s menu as well.
The peach ice cream might be missing but there is a nod to Georgia’s other official snack, with Georgia pecan caramel popcorn at $1.50.
And the most expensive item on the menu isn’t expensive at all, compared to just about every other major sporting event in the world: A glass of chardonnay will set you back $6, which is $1 more than beer.
“We have had some modest price increases,” Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley said. “I think that most, if not everyone, would say there is great value in our concessions. So, we are very comfortable with that.”
ONE MORE CLUB
Xander Schauffele went back to the par-3 16th hole during a practice round earlier this week, this time having grabbed a 7-iron.
Had he done that in the final round last year, the Masters might have gone differently.
He had made four consecutive birdies and was within striking distance of leader and eventual winner Hideki Matsuyama last year when he went to the 16th. The hole was playing at 184 yards for the final round. Schauffele chose an 8-iron.
The ball went in the water, he made triple-bogey and his chance at a green jacket was gone.
“I walked up and hit a 7-iron this year,” Schauffele said. “The green was concrete. My ball landed right near the hole and skipped all the way to the back of the green. … I waited a year to hit that shot again.”

WAITING ON 13
Here’s an oddity. The par-4 11th at Augusta National is now longer than the par-5 13th.
That’ll probably change, but nobody seems to know when.
No. 11 has been stretched to 520 yards, 10 more than No. 13, a hole that the Masters has been on-record as wanting to change for at least six years now and counting. It has become too easy for their liking, with the majority of players able to reach the green in two shots.
The Masters is still weighing its options, while the sport’s governing bodies — the United States Golf Association and the Royal & Ancient — continue studying potential changes or solutions to what has been called “bomb and gouge,” a style where distance is valued more than accuracy.
“We are going to go forward on our own timetable and make changes we think to,” Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley said. “Most of our tees are very lengthy and we’ll have that optionality today and we’ll continue to have that optionality going forward.”
FEATURED GROUPS
The Masters’ digital platforms will stream 18-hole “spotlight coverage of select groupings” during Thursday’s opening round, two trios from the morning and two more in the afternoon.
It means those who want to see every shot Tiger Woods plays Thursday will be able to do so.
The 10:34 a.m. (Eastern time) grouping of Woods, Louis Oosthuizen and Joaquin Niemann is the first featured trio on the schedule for Thursday, followed by the 10:56 a.m. group of Adam Scott, Scottie Scheffler and Tony Finau.
The afternoon groupings getting the same coverage: Dustin Johnson, Billy Horschel and Collin Morikawa teeing off at 1:30 p.m., and Jordan Spieth, Viktor Hovland and Xander Schauffele who begin at 1:52 p.m.

Pakistan's top court likely to rule on Khan's bid to block ouster
>> Reuters
Published: 07 Apr 2022 12:30 PM BdST Updated: 07 Apr 2022 12:30 PM BdST
Pakistan's top court hopes to wrap up on Thursday a hearing on Prime Minister Imran Khan's obstruction of an opposition bid to oust him, a manoeuvre his critics say was unconstitutional and has led to political turmoil in the nuclear-armed country.
Former cricket star Khan lost his parliamentary majority last week and was on the verge of being forced from office by a no-confidence vote tabled by the opposition on Sunday.
But the deputy speaker of parliament, a member of Khan's party, threw out the motion, ruling it was part of a foreign conspiracy and unconstitutional. Khan then dissolved parliament.
The stand-off has thrown the country of 220 million people, ruled by the military for extended periods since independence in 1947, into a full-blown constitutional crisis.
The opposition has challenged the decision to block the vote in the Supreme Court, which began deliberating the case on Monday. The court is due to reconvene on Thursday for a fourth day at 9:30 am (0430 GMT).
Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial said on Wednesday he wanted to wrap up the hearing.
"Let's start early from tomorrow to conclude the case," he said at the end of a session in which defence lawyers offered a justification for Khan's actions.
Khan's supporters have argued that the opposition bid to oust him with foreign support was unconstitutional. Opposition leaders have rejected that.
The court could order parliament to be reconstituted, call for new elections or bar Khan from power if he is found to have violated the constitution.
It could also decide that it cannot intervene in parliamentary affairs.
The military has stepped in to overthrow civilian governments and rule the country on three occasions citing the need to restore order. It has denied any involvement in the current crisis.

5 Sustainable Food Projects For Your University
Foods are an important part of a person’s diet and cultural heritage. Eating is an important part of many people’s day-to-day routine, from morning to night. Food can be seen in our culture as more than just nourishment; it also provides us with comfort and enjoyment for the moment, or sustenance for the future. Furthermore, food has become an integral aspect of holidays celebrations around Western society such as Christmas dinner which typically involves turkey with all sorts of side dishes. In schools mostly in universities, burgers, chicken fillets, and pasta are sold to students instead of in the cafeteria which makes many of them sick. Whereas in the penal system Japanese food has been proven to cause a behavioral change in criminals; This is because spirits or worshippers need food before their prayers whilst their body recovers.
- The first project is that of saving food from going to waste. The food that goes to waste could be turned into a source for income for the university and sustainable projects in the area. Waste could be transformed into healthy fresh vegetables and other foods for the residents of the community. Food waste is a problem in many areas including university campuses, with most students wasting money on overpriced junk food at cafeterias that are under-staffed and equipped with outdated technology, such as microwaves. Furthermore, many students buy pricey food items like chocolate bars which they later dispose of because they realize that they only need one or two pieces and save money. For essays refer to writemyessays.info and get the best. The process of turning these wasted foods into projects would encourage the students in using them instead of throwing them away which would help reduce the amount of trash entering landfills everywhere.
- Sustainable living: This project aims to promote individual sustainability. By focusing on campus dining, this project can promote healthier eating habits through keeping organic produce local to campus as well as encouraging co-operative buying practices among students and faculty members alike, who would benefit from not having to pay so much for organic produce if students bought it collectively through this program instead of individually.
- The third project provides more sustainable food options for students. It would involve the University in producing more healthy meals than the standard cafeteria fare, by requiring that all students who qualify for reduced rate meals be provided with a discount on this food.
- The fourth project incorporates sustainability into the communication industry. As such it attempts to create sustainable communities throughout America through the use of technology such as GSM or other wireless technologies. This project would provide students with a smaller carbon footprint and give them more efficient options that they could choose from in terms of communications and web resources that they may need to access on campus; not just their dorms but also their classes and other important activities throughout college life, such as medical care and education.
- A final project attempts to reduce the amount of plastic waste -those who produces a large amount of packaging for various countries and diverse customs that are shipped throughout the world in various forms, including simple bags and bottles with no use but that do not fall into the categories of reusable or recyclable because they cannot be recycled. This project will provide new opportunities for reuse and recycling, especially in countries where reuse is common practice and recycling to a significant extent is available.

A look at what’s happening around the majors today:
___
OPENING DAY
Chicago Cubs veteran Kyle Hendricks is set to deliver the first pitch of the season against Corbin Burnes and Milwaukee at Wrigley Field just past 2:20 p.m. EDT, the first of seven games still on the calendar amid rainy forecasts across the country.
Gerrit Cole and the Yankees had been set to start at home against the rival Boston Red Sox, but New York announced Wednesday that the game was postponed to Friday with inclement weather in the forecast all day Thursday. Same for the Minnesota Twins and their opener against visiting Seattle.
Still plenty on the docket, though.
The World Series champion Atlanta Braves plan to raise a banner before hosting Cincinnati, and they'll do it without fan favorite Freddie Freeman, who signed with the Dodgers last month. Los Angeles is among 16 teams that won't open until Friday.
The Mets and Nationals are still a go in Washington — they just pushed back the scheduled start three hours to 7:05 p.m. EDT because rain is expected in the afternoon. Second-year righty Tylor Megill gets the surprise assignment for New York, with Jacob deGrom injured and fellow Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer targeting Friday off a hamstring issue.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW
Plenty new around the majors this year, starting with the branding in Cleveland. The Guardians make their regular-season debut in Kansas City with ace Shane Bieber on the mound against Zack Greinke.
Cleveland will get the first, surely, of many looks at Bobby Witt Jr., baseball's top prospect who forced his way into the Royals' opening day lineup. A shortstop in the minors, Witt will play third base to start his big league career.
He's one of several touted prospects told they'll begin the season in the majors, including Seattle outfielder Julio Rodríguez, Detroit slugger Spencer Torkelson, Philadelphia shortstop Bryson Stott and Tampa Bay outfielder Josh Lowe. Cincinnati right-hander Hunter Greene — who was up to 104 mph at Triple-A last year — will start a game over the weekend.
DH DUTY
Shohei Ohtani begins his AL MVP defense by pitching and hitting for the Angels against Houston — and he'll be the only hurler asked to do both. A new rule allows the Los Angeles Angels star (and other pitchers, if they're ever the designated hitter) to still bat after they've left the mound.
The DH was added to the National League this winter, creating 15 job opportunities for sluggers who aren't exactly built to defend. Nelson Cruz signed a one-year deal with the Nationals and seems ready for another big season at 41 years old — he hit a grand slam in his final spring at-bat.
The new rule also cleared a spot for the Cardinals to bring back 42-year-old Albert Pujols for a farewell tour. St. Louis hosts the Pirates, with Adam Wainwright pitching to Yadier Molina for what could be the final time as those two players also ponder retirement after 2022.
NEW PLACE
Freeman’s replacement, Matt Olson, plays his first regular-season game with his hometown Braves after being acquired in a trade from Oakland. Kenley Jansen is Atlanta’s new closer.
The Cubs say Japanese star Seiya Suzuki has seemed remarkably comfortable in his first U.S. season. Chicago fans get to greet the 27-year-old outfielder, who slugged 38 homers last season in Japan’s Central League.
Starling Marte (Mets), Luke Voit (Padres), Mark Melancon (Diamondbacks), Andrew McCutchen (Brewers) and Andrelton Simmons (Cubs) are among other familiar faces set to make debuts after switching clubs.
DON'T SKIP ME
Buck Showalter, Bob Melvin and Oliver Marmol are among the managers with new teams this year.
The well-traveled Showalter leads the Mets at Nationals Park. Melvin left Oakland and now guides the San Diego Padres, who open at Arizona. Marmol manages his first regular-season game when the St. Louis Cardinals host Pittsburgh.
NOW HEAR THIS
For the first time, umpires will be given microphones to provide explanations following replay reviews this season. The change should eliminate some mystery — and maybe even some frustration — for fans who previously had to wait until after games to find out exactly what the crew was discussing with replay headquarters.

PM promises to take back control of energy costs in long-awaited strategy
The government has promised to take back control of energy prices with its long-awaited energy strategy that aims to make 95 per cent of electricity low-carbon by 2030.
Ministers are promising ‘cleaner and more affordable energy’ to be made in this country by boosting wind, new nuclear, solar and hydrogen.
Boris Johnson said the strategy, including new nuclear and offshore wind power, would reduce the UK’s dependence on foreign sources of energy.
Barratt and Redrow face bumper bills over cladding works
Housing giants Redrow and Barratt are facing hefty bills after pledging to carry out more fire safety works in the wake of the Grenfell tragedy.
Barratt said yesterday afternoon that its improvement works were expected to cost the business between £350m and £400m.
It came hours after Redrow set aside a further £164m after vowing to carry out more fire safety works, taking the total costs of its safety provisions to £200m.
UK imposes further sanctions aimed at crippling ‘Putin’s war machine’
Russia will be further cut off from western economies as the UK and allies imposed a series of further sanctions in response to the war in Ukraine.
The UK imposed an asset freeze on Russia’s largest bank, banned outward investment in Vladimir Putin’s country and will legislate to prohibit imports of iron and steel.
Foreign secretary Liz Truss said: ‘Our latest wave of measures will bring an end to the UK’s imports of Russian energy and sanction yet more individuals and businesses, decimating Putin’s war machine.’
P&O Ferries announces plans to resume sailings
P&O Ferries has announced it is preparing to restart sailings from this weekend on routes suspended since it sacked nearly 800 seafarers.
The firm revealed plans to resume operations for four of its ships.
It had been prevented from running all but one of its vessels since announcing widespread redundancies on March 17, which sparked outrage by replacing its crews with cheaper agency workers without notice.
Nato chief says Finland and Sweden are welcome to apply to join
Nato would quickly welcome Finland and Sweden into its ranks if they decide to apply, the military alliance’s top civilian official has said.
It comes as Russia’s war on Ukraine spurs public support in the two Nordic countries for membership.
The military organisation might also be ready to provide security guarantees to the countries if any potential membership bid angers Russia, Nato secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said.
France opens safety probe into ‘serious’ New York to Paris flight issue
French aviation investigators are looking into a ‘serious incident’ involving an Air France flight from New York that suffered flight control problems on approach to its landing in Paris.
The Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety said yesterday it had opened a safety probe and that information from the so-called black box flight data and voice recorders was being checked.
In a tweet, it said the Boeing 777 suffered flight control problems on its final approach to the capital’s Charles de Gaulle airport on Tuesday.
Former Trump advisers held in contempt of Congress over attack on US Capitol
Former Donald Trump advisers Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino were held in contempt of Congress yesterday for their month-long refusal to comply with subpoenas from the investigation into the January 2021 attack on the US Capitol.
The two men became the latest members of ex-President Trump’s inner circle to face legal jeopardy as the select committee continues its nine-month-plus-long probe into the worst attack on the Capitol in more than 200 years.
Criminal referrals for Navarro and Scavino will be sent to the Justice Department for possible prosecution.
Peugeot e-Rifter gets lower price to qualify for plug-in grant
Peugeot has reduced the price of its e-Rifter electric MPV so that it now qualifies for the government’s plug-in car grant.
The entry-level standard Length e-Rifter in Allure Premium trim now starts at £31,950, or £30,450 after the grant has been applied. The price cap for the grant is £32,000.
Thanks to its 50kWh battery, the e-Rifter can return up to 172 miles on a single charge

Deadline nears to register to vote in May elections
People hoping to have their say in elections taking place across the UK next month have just a few days left to register to vote.
Contests are taking place on May 5 in each of the four nations, with every council seat in Scotland, Wales, London and many parts of England up for grabs, along with the election of a new Northern Ireland assembly.
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the deadline to register to vote is one week away on April 14, while in Scotland the deadline is April 18.
More patients diagnosed with cancer in emergency in UK than elsewhere – study
More patients are diagnosed with cancer in an emergency in the UK than in other comparable high-income countries, a study suggests.
People who end up in A&E, sometimes after repeated trips to their GP, are less likely to survive their disease, particularly if they have stomach, bowel, liver, pancreatic, lung or ovarian cancer.
The new study, from the International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership working with Cancer Research UK, looked at cancer data and linked hospital admissions from 14 areas in six countries – Australia, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, Norway and the UK – covering 2012 to 2017.
Peers inflict defeat on government over controversial voter ID proposals
Controversial election reforms have been amended after peers inflicted a defeat on the government over plans to introduce voter ID.
People would be required to show an approved form of photographic identification before collecting their ballot paper to vote in a polling station under measures contained in the Elections Bill.
But peers voted 199 to 170 to support an amendment from Conservative former minister Lord Willetts to expand the list of accepted identification to include non-photo documents such as birth certificates, bank statements, council tax demands and library cards.
Kinder Surprise salmonella recall extended to more products
A recall of Kinder Surprise eggs has been extended to more products, including Kinder Mini Eggs and Kinder Egg Hunt Kits because they might be contaminated with salmonella, the Food Standards Agency said.
The extended recall follows the 20g eggs or the three-pack of eggs with a best before date between July 11 2022 and October 7, 2022 being recalled on Monday.
It now applies to 20g eggs or three-packs of the eggs with a best before date of all dates up to and including October 7, 2022, 100g Kinder Surprise packs with a best before date between April 20, 2022 and August 21, 2022, 75g packs of Kinder Mini eggs with a best before date between April 20 and August 21, 2022, and 150g packs of Kinder Egg Hunt Kits with best before dates from April 21 to August 21, 2022. Kinder Schokobons 200g packs with a best before date of April 20 to August 21, 2022 have also been recalled.

Dogs available for adoption in South Bend

Dogs available for adoption in South Bend
When looking at the makeup of American families today, it’s rare to see a home where a pet isn’t part of the family. According to the most recent data from the APPA National Pet Owners Survey , 67% of households—or around 85 million homes—own a pet. Of these households, dogs and cats top the list of most popular pets, with 63.4 million and 42.7 million households owning dogs and cats, respectively.
In exploring the history of animal shelters and rescue organizations in the country, nothing proves as problematic as the lack of a centralized reporting system to collect data on these organizations. Most of the shelter statistics that are available and accepted today are estimates based on several period surveys , including the aforementioned APPA National Pet Owners Survey along with the AVMA U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook. Without a nationally codified and streamlined process for collecting, organizing, and reporting on shelter data, there has been a grave lack of transparency around the country’s shelters. That makes it difficult not only to pinpoint accurate statistics regarding sheltered animals in America but also to understand the true state of animal welfare in the country, which is the first step to improving that welfare.
If you’ve been considering bringing home a furry companion, be sure to keep reading. Stacker compiled a list of dogs available for adoption in South Bend, Indiana on Petfinder , ranging in age, breed composition, temperament, and needs. It’s important to note that pet adoption is a huge responsibility and requires available savings for emergency and routine veterinary care, a day-to-day routine and game plan for coverage if the pup needs to be left at home during the day (i.e. hiring a dog walker), and time and attention devoted to training your newest family member. Be sure to do due diligence on breed research to see what kind of dog will be the best fit for your lifestyle.
Without further ado, here are adoptable dogs in your home city.

The 23-year-old captained the side four times at the back end of last season in the 50-over One-Day Cup and has been named as interim captain after Australian batter Travis Head withdrew from his 2022 contract. Opening batsman Haines takes over as four-day captain from Ben Brown, who lost the role last summer and joined Hampshire in January.
Haines, who became the first player in 2021 to score 1000 runs in the County Championship, spoke about captaining the side at the end of the 2021 season, saying. “It was a real learning curve for me, the last four games were tough, learning how to deal with my batting and captaining as well. I’m really looking forward to this year I’ve got the help around me from coaching staff and senior players. I really see it as a year I can grow and learn a lot as a cricketer.”
Sussex finished bottom of their County Championship group last year, winning only once, but Haines hopes the new arrivals will bring success. “As you saw last year there were individual performances in each of the games that showed us the talent we just need to bring it all together, there’s been a few signs we’ve had over the winter with senior players such as Steve Finn.
"We’ve got Tom Alsop and the two overseas as well, it’s only going to help all of them grow and perform on a more consistent basis I think.”
Often a captain’s performances may dip due to the pressure of the role but Haines says he is thriving after initially debating on whether to take the role. “There was definitely time to think, it wasn’t an instant yes, I spoke to people whose opinion I value and weighing up both sides of the argument but I feel it’s a really good decision for me to take it on now I’ve got the support around me and the senior players, the signings we’ve made are only going to help.
“In the field it helps me, I focus on the decision I have to make as a captain when I’m in the field, I don’t think about my batting, I don’t ever overthink anything. When I go out to bat I don’t worry about being a captain I worry about going out and scoring as many runs as I can. It helps me separate the two and I’ve really enjoyed it so far.
“It is tough but that’s cricket, that’s being an opening batter, you could be a captaining or a fielder it’s still mentally and physically tough, thinking about the game in the field like tactics and bowling decisions it’s all stuff that’s going to make me become a better cricketer.”
After fielding a very youthful side last year, Sussex have brought in senior players Steve Finn and Cheteshwar Pujara which will help the young skipper according to County Championship coach, Ian Salisbury, who said. “We see massive leadership qualities in Tom that’s why we had him as 50-over captain last year and to captain the youngest side that has ever been out there would’ve been hard work for him.
"But now the players you have around him, you’ve got superstars of world cricket. So far and may it continue he’s scored a load of runs still as captain and he’ll talk about how his captaincy helps his batting.”

From the death notice of Franz Mohr, who died on Monday:. Franz Mohr was born in Nörvenich in 1927 as the son of a postman Jakob Mohr and his wife Christina Stork. Since his father got a job at the post office in Düren, the family moved to Düren very early and lived there in the house at Eintrachtstraße 47, today Sachsenstraße. There Mohr experienced the heavy air raid of November 16, 1944. This was a tremendous shock for the young man and the reason for his rejection of God. After the war, however, he met the Scottish pastor Dr. James McFarlane, who was holding a Bible study group in Germany. Franz attended this group, but left unconvinced that there could be any truth in the Bible. McFarlane gave him a Bible and promised to pray for him. After a few months, Franz began reading the Scriptures and became a Christian. There a journey started that would shape his entire life….

You’re able to test your integration with Paddle through a range of different methods, some of which are specific to the type of product you’re looking to sell.
Sandbox
The best way to test your Paddle integration and checkout flow is with our sandbox environment.
-
If you’re new to Paddle sign up for a live account first so we can get to know you. Then you can play with sandbox while we make sure you’re ready to start selling.
-
If you’re already with Paddle, read the sandbox documentation for more on how to set up and experiment with your sandbox environment.
Using the sandbox you can:
- Use test cards to simulate successful or unsuccessful transations, and test 3D Secure authentication experiences with no limitations
- Experiment with your checkout branding before surfacing it to customers
- Test the end-to-end customer experience, reviewing automated emails, checking access management, and more
Testing on sandbox avoids polluting your live data or metrics, with everything kept separate from your live account.
Live Testing
Once you’re happy with your implementation on sandbox, there are still ways of testing your checkout and expected customer flows from your live, ‘production’ setup. Although note that testing with real (even refunded or discounted) transactions might confuse your reporting.
Full purchase & refund
The above method is useful to ensure you’re happy with the monetary flow of transactions.
Having setup your product or subscription plan with Paddle you should be provided with a checkout link. Visit this and purchase (optionally discount with a coupon/modifier - see below), running through the on-screen instructions.
Following this you’re able to issue yourself a full refund at zero cost – instructions on how to do this can be found here.
The method above is the most true-to-life test of a checkout.
Coupons for products
Having setup a product (one-time) in your dashboard, as well as being provided with a checkout link, the ability to add coupons for your product should also become available.
Setup a 100% off coupon, and apply this during the checkout process to test.
This particular test is useful for learning more about the user-flow post-purchase, seeing what emails are delivered and more. For information on customising these emails, see here.
Test plans for recurring billing
When setting up recurring billing with Paddle, we recommend setting up a range of test plans, listed with a free price. These plans will still use the same events/alerts system as the paid plans – sending a HTTP POST to your webhook endpoint for each action against a subscription (such as a subscription payment, plan change, cancellation). The same events a paid plan will need to sync with.
Once you’re happy your recurring billing integration is complete, and in sync with your own site we recommend running through some full purchase tests (to be refunded).

The National Unity Platform(NUP) leader, Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine has lashed out at European countries for allegedly keeping president Museveni in power, adding that world leaders who tolerate dictators and treat them as legitimate partners are complicit in their crime.
Kyagulanyi made the remarks as he delivered a speech about human rights in Uganda at the Geneva Human Rights Convention 2022 in Switzerland.
Kyagulanyi told the summit that Ugandans are living in fear, great pain and have been treated as animals for the last 36 years since Gen Museveni captured power.
“But despite all these, the western world continues to tolerate and enable Gen Museveni because he is considered a useful dictator, good for regional security and national ability,” he said.
Kyagulanyi has asked the European countries to stand on the right side of history by stopping funding the government of President Museveni because it is illegitimate and has caused unending suffering to the people of Uganda.
“We call upon world leaders to stop shaking Gen Museveni’s blood stained hands through funding and cooperation. We call upon governments and organisations all over the world to impose sanctions on him and people that he uses to torture and kill innocent citizens,” he stated.
Kyagulanyi explained that Museveni treats political opponents as enemies and uses the military to suppress, arrest, torture and kill their supporters and all those who disagree with him.
“I never intended to get into politics neither did I pay much attention to the political space until my personal consciousness was awakened rudely by my personal humiliation at the hands of the security operatives. I am here to tell the world with clarity that Gen Museveni is not the leader you think he is. He is a threat to the people of Uganda and yet he is a threat to the entire region,” he said.

PEMBROKE, Ga. — After violent storms blamed for killing at least three people, Southerners cleared fallen trees from roadways Wednesday and began cleaning up debris from homes and buildings smashed by suspected tornadoes as forecasters warned more violent weather was likely on the way.
In southeast Georgia, residents of Bryan County had barely begun recovery efforts after a likely tornado touched down Tuesday evening, killing one woman and injuring several other people, when local officials urged them to halt work by mid-afternoon Wednesday and take shelter for the night.
The National Weather Service said another round of tornadoes was possible Wednesday, with heightened risk across a three-state area that included the cities of Atlanta, Birmingham and Knoxville.
Tuesday's storms were blamed for killing people in Louisiana and Texas.
Louisiana state police said Gene Latin, a 65-year-old correctional officer, was killed early Tuesday when he crashed into a tree that had fallen across a highway as storms blew through Webster Parish. And in east Texas, 71-year-old W. M. Soloman died when storm winds toppled a tree onto his home in Whitehouse, said Mayor James Wansley.
In Bryan County, about 30 miles west of Savannah, a woman was found dead Tuesday night amid the shredded wreckage of her mobile home in the unincorporated community of Ellabell, said Bryan County Coroner Bill Cox.
"It was just completely ripped to pieces," Cox said Wednesday. "It's like it exploded."
Cox said the dead woman's husband was taken to a hospital with injuries. He did not give her name, saying relatives were still being notified.
A motorist's cellphone video taken in Bryan County showed a large funnel cloud crossing Interstate 16 as drivers braked and pulled to the side of the roadway.
In the county seat of Pembroke, large sections of roof got torn off the courthouse and the entryway to a government building across was demolished. The storm destroyed at least 18 homes in the county and left more than 10 others with major damage, according to the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. Several people were injured, said Matthew Kent, a Bryan County government spokesperson.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp toured the destruction Wednesday and said it was fortunate the twister did not stay on the ground very long, or the damage and loss of life would likely have been much worse. Places where it did touch down, he said, got hit hard.
"It is literally total devastation for some homes," Kemp said. "We walked through a house where there's no wood left on that house. It's nothing but a foundation with a water heater sitting there."
In South Carolina, about a dozen homes were destroyed or heavily damaged Tuesday in rural Allendale County. Tractors and other equipment were flipped and twisted on a number of farms in South Carolina's least populated county. Other storms caused damage to solar panels near Bowman and flipped vehicles and shopping carts in a Walmart parking lot in Manning.
National Weather Service 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.
In Alabama, the weather service said it was sending survey teams to examine potential tornado damage in the Wetumpka area.
More than 7,000 customers in Texas and more than 3,000 in Georgia remained without power Wednesday afternoon, according to PowerOutage.us, which tracks outages nationwide.

Development in ‘sex cult’ leader James-Robert Davis’ court case
A former soldier who police allege is the leader of a “sex cult” has faced court over a series of charges involving four women.
A former soldier accused of running a “sex cult” has pleaded not guilty to a series of charges after a magistrate demanded his court battle be moved along.
James-Robert Davis has been in custody on remand for more than a year after he was arrested in March 2021 over allegations he kept a woman as a slave at Maroubra in Sydney’s eastern suburbs between 2013-2015.
At the time of Mr Davis’ arrest last year, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) issued a statement saying the alleged victim had been manipulated as part of a “so-called cult”.
The former ADF soldier initially faced three charges over the alleged slavery and sexual servitude of the woman, but they were withdrawn in September and a large number of alternative charges were laid when more alleged victims came forward.
The remaining charges include sexual intercourse without consent, torturing an animal, detaining a person, using a carriage service to prepare or plan to engage in sexual activity with a person under 16 and disseminating child abuse material.
Some of the offences police allege relate to incidents as far back as 2001.
Mr Davis has also been charged with offences related to the alleged possession of unauthorised firearms and ammunition.
His matter was mentioned on Tuesday at Sydney’s Central Local Court where his lawyers requested it be adjourned, but the magistrate demanded it be moved along.
Mr Davis’ lawyer Serae Kopra then entered pleas of not guilty to 14 charges, including six counts of common assault, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, two charges of stalk and intimidate with intent to cause fear or physical harm and three counts of intentionally distributing intimate images without consent.
The matter on Thursday returned to court where Ms Kopra told the court the charges would remain in the Local Court and be dealt with by police prosecutors.
She said the charges involved four women, and the defence was looking into having four separate hearings.
Ms Kopra said the prosecution and defence were working together to create a timetable for the hearings.
Mr Davis is yet to enter pleas to the remaining charges.
Nine charges have been withdrawn since his matter has been through the courts, including reducing a person to slavery, possessing a slave, causing a person to remain in servitude, three counts of possess or use a prohibited weapon and two counts of possess an unregistered firearm.
The matter will return to court on June 16.
Mr Davis is an ex-prison guard and ADF soldier and has referred to himself as the master of a group dubbed the “House of Cadifor”.

Many of us spend most of our day at work, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle when sitting for 8-9 hours per day can be quite challenging. What is even worse is that some employees even sit for more than 9 hours per day! That is why it is crucial to highlight how one can maintain a healthy lifestyle at work.
Here are 7 tips to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle even at work:
1. Stay hydrated
Water should be your best friend at all times. Whether it is at home or the office, you should always make sure to drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated will make you feel more energetic, productive and focused.
2. Eat smartly
You know what they say, you are what you eat! And while it can be tempting to eat something fast and greasy at work, make sure you train your willpower muscle to focus on healthy alternatives.
Preparing your own meals at home can make it easier for you to stick to a healthy lifestyle. Not only that, but eating actual meals that will keep you feeling full will not only help you avoid munching on unhealthy foods but also give you the energy you need to deliver your work.
3. Take breaks
It is not a crime to take frequent breaks throughout the day. We are not robots, and we all need our share of fresh air to stay on track. Taking breaks every once in a while will help you rest, readjust and refocus. Taking a walk, doing some breathing exercise or even just closing your eyes for a minute or two can help calm your mind and body.
When we disconnect from something for a little bit, we are able to come back to it with a fresh pair of eyes and thus be more productive and creative!
Secret tip: do not forget that breaks can be both physical and mental!
4. Don’t indulge in caffeine
Unlike water, caffeine shouldn’t be your best friend at all times. While drinking coffee can be imperative for some people to function and start their day right, restricting your caffeine intake is important to avoid crashing midday. Sticking to one morning cup of coffee should help wake you up without affecting your healthy lifestyle.
5. Stretch those muscles
Sitting for too long can significantly impact our health if not monitored and avoided. Research even says that it can result in high blood pressure, obesity and higher risk of developing serious diseases. As a result, it is pivotal for employees to stand up, go for a walk or do some simple stretches to help keep their blood flowing and muscles relaxed.
In addition, sitting at desks for long periods of time can mean that some people will develop bad posture and strained backs or necks. Hence, you need to always make sure you maintain a good posture while sitting to avoid developing any back or neck issues.
6. Keep your desk clean
Spending 8-9 hours at work can be tiring and overwhelming on its own, let alone when your workstation is cluttered and unclean. Decluttering your space and keeping it clean and tidy will make you feel calm and refreshed when coming into the office every morning.
7. Avoid toxic colleagues
Sometimes spending too much time with colleagues who drain your energy can lead to stress, frustration and low energy. Therefore, knowing who to surround yourself with and the kind of energy you are absorbing is key in maintaining a good mental health throughout the day.
Ultimately, a person who leads a healthy lifestyle will more likely be more productive and focused. And on World Health Day, we need to talk more about leading a healthy and realistic lifestyle that can be maintained at home, the office and really everywhere.

President Akufo-Addo granted an interview to BBC
Akufo-Addo defended the passage of the E-Levy
Sammy Gyamfi says he appeared intolerant
Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, for his abysmal performance during an interview he [Akufo-Addo] granted BBC Africa’s Peter Ōkwóchè.
According to him, the President during the interview demonstrated intolerance and egoism.
Gyamfi said as a Ghanaian, he felt embarrassed by the President’s delivery.
Speaking on Joy News' 'UpFront' programme on Wednesday (April 6), Sammy Gyamfi debunked the assertion by many NPP folks that the President performed well in the answers he gave during the interview.
“I have watched excerpts of the interview and what I saw in that interview was a President who is not willing to accept responsibility for his own mismanagement and the failings of his government.
"I saw a President who has lost touch with the realities of his people; a President who has become increasingly intolerant due to obviously the intoxication of power.
"What was excellent about what he said in that interview?” he quizzed.
To him, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo sought to peddle falsehood but he was exposed by the BBC presenter.
Sammy Gyamfi further stated that he expected the Akufo-Addo to be honest about the state of the country’s economy instead of lying and seeking to paint a false picture about the present situation.
For him, the economy has collapsed and therefore Akufo-Addo should have used the opportunity to outline measures he intends to employ to rescue Ghana from the current ‘bottomless pit’, he and his government have plunged the country into, as a result of their ‘recklessness’ and ‘mismanagement’.
President Akufo-Addo on Monday spoke about the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-levy), which has been passed into law, the country’s tourism sector amongst other things when he appeared on the BBC’s Focus on Africa show.
According to some social media users, the presenter must be lauded for asking thought-provoking questions and sharing his view on the Ghanaian economy – which he described as “terrible”.

Climate action in the Caribbean
There are three things that we in the Caribbean must get behind. Here’s why and how urgently this action is needed.
Working Group III (WG3) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released, on April 4, the third of a trilogy of reports which together form the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). WG3’s report is focused on what we can do to decrease or moderate global warming and titled Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change.
The 2913-page report is the culmination of global effort by 278 scientific authors and 65 governments (41 per cent of which are developing countries) to reach consensus based on more than 18,000 scientific papers and the resolution of more than 59,000 review comments on the scientific, technological, environmental, economic and social aspects of mitigation of climate change.
This report complements all the previous work, including the reports by Working Groups I (the State of Global Warming) and II (Climate Risk and Adaptation), which were published in November 2021 and March 2022 respectively. This third report will be followed later this year by a synthesis report.
In introducing the report last Monday, UN secretary general Antonio Guterres did not mince his words and left no doubt about what the "verdict of the jury" is: “We are on fast track to climate disaster.”
This will be an unlivable world that will include major cities under water, heatwaves, and terrifying disasters.
On paper the world’s governments have committed to doing all that is possible to limit the earth’s warming to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels by 2100.
The reality of what is currently happening is very different. We are on track towards a world that will be 3.2 degrees warmer than in pre-industrial times – so we are on track to overshoot our target by more than 100 per cent.
The biggest problem is the so-called “emissions gap,” which is already large and growing. Every government knows that the world needs to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 45 per cent over the next eight years to have a chance to stay within the 1.5 degree limit.
Instead, based on the current pledges we are increasing emissions by 14 per cent this decade.
What makes this even worse, Mr Guterres points out, is that “high emitting governments and corporations are not just turning a blind eye – they are adding fuel to the flame!…Some governments are saying one thing, but doing another. Simply put, they are lying.”
The very few with vested interests in historical investments in fossil fuel are “choking the world,” when there are cheaper, renewable solutions that provide green jobs, energy security and greater price stability.
Countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels at this time, and not the young and vocal climate activists, are the truly dangerous radicals.
“Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness,” says Mr Guterres.
We are in a full-blown “climate emergency” at the time when we, the world, are still recovering very unevenly from the covid19 pandemic, rising inflation; and the war in Ukraine is leading to rocketing food and energy prices.
What are three practical messages that everyone in the Caribbean can act on?
First, all emissions are actually contributed by the actions of individuals and organisations. All types of organisations, including business, should take responsibility for what they are doing and not try to shirk responsibility by trying to shift all responsibility to individuals.
A study published by the European Corporate Governance Institute on April 6 shows when thousands of manufacturing facilities were simply mandated to report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the US in 2010, emissions were reduced by 7.9 per cent.
Climate change is already being hugely disruptive and this will increase. Physical risks and transition risks harbour not only large threats but also opportunities to grab.
Second, we can only solve this climate emergency with collective action. Our current predicament is literally fuelled by public policy and requires collective action to solve. We need collective policies to accelerate to the required speed and scale.
The report makes it clear that we need to accelerate (threefold) our shift to renewable energy and remove all current subsidies to the fossil fuel industry immediately. It provides a thorough and detailed feasibility assessment of different mitigation options across six different dimensions for energy, demand and services, transport, cities and urban areas buildings, industry, land use, how to close the investment gap, carbon dioxide removal, technology and innovation. International co-operation, national and sub-national policy options are also assessed and guidance for the enabling conditions is provided.
While it is true that the gap is still increasing and we are heading towards disaster, the rate of increase has decreased and there is increasing evidence of climate action. There are countries that have achieved a steady decrease in emissions consistent with limiting warming to two degrees. Zero emission targets have been adopted by least 826 cities and 103 regions.
Third, it is clear that our Caribbean contribution to climate change is very small when compared to others. The threats for small islands, however, are grave. North America has the largest historical cumulative net anthropogenic CO2 emission from 1850-2019, followed by Europe and Eastern Asia.
Latin America and the Caribbean have proportionally the highest contribution to climate change from land use changes and forest destruction. Trinidad and Tobago has one of the highest emission rates per capita.
Investment in adaptation to climate change needs to be a very high priority for the Caribbean. The IPCC Working Group II report released last month provides critical guidance for that. That report also showed that adaptation and mitigation are complementary and to an extent even necessary for each other. While we all need to advocate for attention to policies and cooperation at all levels – between individuals to organisation, the cities, regions countries, and internationally, it is also in our best interest (in the short, medium, and long term) to find ways to contribute to sustainable development, individually and collectively.

MG Motor UK is continuing to see strong sales in 2022 following its record 2021.
In the first quarter of 2022, the British-based car maker sold 12,838 units, an increase of 124.6 per cent on the same period last year.
Although MG continues to have a relatively small market share of 3.31 per cent (up from 1.45 per cent in 2021), the firm has demonstrated the impressive growth it has seen by comparing its current sales figures with totals in recent years.
In January and February this year, MG sold 4,471 vehicles, which was more than it sold across all of 2017. Meanwhile, the 9,367 sales seen in March was more than the whole of 2018.
MG says it has seen large growth across all fuel types, with petrol up 155 per cent, plug-in hybrids up 441 per cent and electric vehicles up 40 per cent. However, it is the latter that has driven the firm’s sales in recent years, as it has offered some of the most affordable EVs on the market.
This appeal has seen the brand add 39 new dealerships over the past 12 months, including large groups such as Vertu Motors, RRG and Arnold Clark.
Guy Pigounakis, commercial director at MG Motor UK, said: “We are absolutely thrilled with the results we have achieved in the first quarter and that the incredible momentum we built in over the course of a record-breaking 2021 has carried into the new year.
“We are particularly pleased because it means that our core message of cutting edge technology, great quality and exciting cars all at an affordable price is clearly resonating with our target demographic.”
Pigounakis also showed optimism that these sales would continue, noting that the firm would be adding two new models to its line-up this year.

Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) expects to deliver a ''close to double-digit sales growth'' in the domestic market in the January-March quarter driven entirely by pricing.
Overall, short-term challenges such as unprecedented global commodity inflation and the performance of its Indonesia business, continued to play out during the quarter, impacting consumption and margins, the company said.
At a consolidated level, the company expects to deliver a ''higher than mid-single-digit sales'' growth and ''lower year-on-year EBITDA margins'' on the profitability front, during the January-March quarter.
''This is due to input inflation and our weak performance in Indonesia,'' said GCPL is a quarterly update for 4Q FY22.
The Godrej group firm has also raised concerns over higher inflation levels, leading to successive price increases, and impacting volumes of the Indian FMCG industry.
''The Indian FMCG industry witnessed a consumption slowdown over the last few months. The sector continued to be hit hard by higher inflation levels, leading to successive price increases, and impacting volumes,'' said GCPL on Wednesday.
Despite this, GCPL has gained market share in 85 percent of the portfolio, it added.
''In India, we expect to deliver close to double-digit sales growth, driven entirely by pricing. Our 2-year CAGR would be in the early twenties,'' said GCPL in updates shared on stock exchanges on Wednesday.
On various segments, GCPL said the Personal Care segment sustained its double-digit growth trajectory, primarily led by pricing in Personal Wash.
While over Home Care, GCPL said it has witnessed a ''soft performance'' on a high base, impacted by a relatively muted season for Home Insecticides and the discretionary nature of Air Fresheners.
While talking about the international business, GCPL said in Indonesia, that the company expects a ''sales decline in the high teens'' in constant currency terms, with the Hygiene segment performance waning after COVID-19.
''We expect to deliver a constant currency sales growth close to the mid-teens. We also continue to focus on driving sustainable, profitable sales growth. We expect strong double-digit constant currency sales growth in our Latin America business,'' it said.
Its SAARC business performance was soft, it added.
''At a consolidated level, we continue to leverage our category and geographic portfolio. We expect to deliver a higher than mid-single-digit sales growth and a 2-year CAGR around mid-teens,'' said GCPL.
Over the outlook for FY23, GCPL said:''We expects to deliver early double-digit sales growth''.
The quarterly update for 4Q FY22 provides an overall summary of the operating performance and demand trends during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
''This will be followed by a detailed performance update, post the approval of the 4QFY22 financial results by the Board of Directors,'' the company said.

85-year-old Sisters HS pole vault coach shows no sign of slowing down
(Update: adding video and Anderson comments)
SISTERS, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Sisters High School pole vaulting coach Jim Anderson is hard to miss.
Through a sea of young faces at the Outlaws' track practice, one stands out.
Anderson has been coaching pole vault at the school since 1995, shortly after Sisters Middle School was built and a few years before the high school was.
He started coaching the discipline more than 60 years ago, at Clackamas High School. He's helped coach pole vaulters to district and state championships, but that's not why he started coaching.
“I’d like to think I am as excited about the kid that can barely get off the ground as I am about the champions," Anderson said Wednesday.
Taine Martin, a junior at Sisters High, could be next in line.
“Coach Anderson, he’s one of the best coaches I’ve ever had," Martin said. "This is what he loves, and he’s still doing it. He’s 85 now, and he’s been coaching for 60 years. And it’s really what he loves.”
Martin and Sisters sophomore Gracie Vohs have been pole vaulting with Anderson as their coach since middle school.
“Pole vault has a special place in my heart, and Anderson is definitely a huge part of that," Vohs said. "He is just the one who is constantly wanting the best for us -- and even on our worst days, he’s always supportive.”
Helping kids seems to be the secret to keep Anderson going.
“It’s the kids -- it really is," he said. "The kids are fun, are tremendous fun for me.”
At 85 years old, Anderson is not sure when he'll stop coaching.
“I’d love to be coaching at 90, but I just don’t know," Anderson said.

Source Music has officially unveiled former IZ*ONE’s Kim Chae-won as the latest member of its upcoming girl group LE SSERAFIM.
- READ MORE: OH MY GIRL on their beautiful new album ‘Real Love’, seventh anniversary and ‘Queendom’ advice
At midnight KST today (April 7), HYBE subsidiary Source Music uploaded a brand-new introduction video featuring Kim Chae-won. She is the latest member announced as part of the line-up of the highly anticipated girl group LE SSERAFIM, following Hong Eun-chae and Kim Ga-ram and Miyawaki Sakura, who was also a member of IZ*ONE.
In the new visual, set to an old-school rock ‘n’ roll song, Kim poses and dances for the camera on various different sets, including a plain white studio, an empty gas station, as well as a ballroom.
Source Music had also shared new images of the idol via the group’s social media accounts, similar to those of the previous two members uploaded in the past two days.

— LE SSERAFIM (@le_sserafim) April 6, 2022
Kim’s signing with the agency and upcoming debut was first announced last month. The music label is set to continue unveiling the remaining two members of the new girl group over the coming nights, in the lead-up to their debut.
Aside from the two former IZ*ONE singers, a former Pledis Entertainment trainee and Produce 48 contestant Heo Yun-jin was reported by several South Korean media outlets to also be part of LE SSERAFIM’s line-up, however this has yet to be confirmed.
Source Music has also recently publicly denied allegations that Kim Ga-ram was a school bully. Less than a day after the label introduced Kim as a member of the group, a number of netizens claimed that the 16-year-old singer had been involved in bullying incidents during her school days.
HYBE, which owns Source Music, the agency in charge of LE SSERAFIM, has since denied all allegations and taken legal action in a statement posted today (April 6). The label claims that the allegations have been “cunningly edited” in order to “maliciously slander” Kim.

Noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple will release its second-generation AirPods Pro in the second half of this year.
He also believes that Apple will discontinue the first-generation AirPods Pro after it announces its successor.
This is because demand for the new third-generation AirPods has been weaker than expected. And that's in part due to the fact that Apple continues to sell the second-generation AirPods.
Though the third-generation AirPods adds some useful features such as better water resistance, Adaptive EQ, and better battery life, it seems that consumers don't think that the premium is warranted.
Little is known about the second-generation AirPods Pro at this point, but it is believed it will have a more compact design, deeper integration with Apple's Find My network, improved active noise cancellation, and perhaps even some form of lossless audio support.
The last feature would be a huge deal because even though Apple Music's catalogue is now streaming in lossless, none of Apple's wireless audio devices supports true lossless playback.
This is true for all wireless audio devices because this is an inherent shortcoming of Bluetooth. It simply does not have the bandwidth to stream lossless audio.

In 2019, Children United held its first Dancing with the Stars-themed fundraiser in conjunction with Lawton Ballet Theatre, at the Apache Casino Hotel. The event raised more than $70,000.
That was the last time the event would be held for two years.
On Saturday, Lawton’s Dancing with the Stars-themed event, “Dancing for Children United,” will return with five couples.
Katie Veenhuizen, director of Lawton Ballet Theatre, is returning to the event this year. In 2019, she was a coach for some of the dancers in the show. This year, Veenhuizen is one of the event coordinators, and chose each of the people who will be dancing, many of whom have never had any formal dance training or experience of any kind.
“It’s been fun to hear from people saying that they’re doing this event, and getting to do something they’ve never tried before,” Veenhuizen said.
Veenhuizen’s goal was to get as many of the movers and shakers of Lawton as she could to dance in the show. Originally, eight couples were on board to dance, but the number eventually came down to the current five.
“A lot of the people who are movers and shakers in Lawton, as it turns out, are also the busiest,” Veenhuizen said.
Apart from the five dances, the event will include a dinner before the show begins, and auctions of different items throughout.
Funds raised by the event will go toward a playground in Elmer Thomas Park for children with limited mobility and developmental delays.
Jeannette Klein, the head of Children United’s committee for the dancing fundraiser, became a part of the organization after it began in 2019. While there hasn’t been another dance event, there have been numerous fundraisers held by Children United since 2019, with the overall goal of raising the $750,000 necessary to build the playground. Their goal has almost been met, and the organization intends to break ground on the playground this fall.
The project was spearheaded by Joseph Chesko, a Realtor in Lawton who died last May before seeing the project completed. Klein said that the project would not exist without Chesko’s contribution.
“He’s the visionary; he got all of this started,” Klein said.
Klein recalled the story of how the project got started. Chesko was watching children play at a playground, while a separate child in a wheelchair looked on. It was this moment that put the idea for the expansion in his head.
“He said this child looked so sad, that right at that moment, he knew he had to do something.”
When the project is finished, with the City of Lawton’s blessing, Children United intends to name the expansion after Chesko, in honor of the project he never got to see, but was so passionately devoted to seeing through.

While the Sportsbook also has locations in the Tech Center and Highlands Ranch, it's the basement-like Washington Park outpost that we love, for its secret clubhouse feel.

Norwegian diver rescued in Malaysia, 3 others missing
Norwegian diver Kristine Grodem (L) was found in the water in the morning by a passing vessel
A Norwegian diving instructor was rescued alive on Thursday a day after going missing off Malaysia's southeast coast but three other Europeans were still missing, officials said.
Kristine Grodem, 35, was found in the water in the morning by a passing vessel, a significant distance from where the group had disappeared.
She was then picked up by a helicopter involved in the search effort and taken to nearby Mersing district, police official Cyril Edward Nuing said. She is in hospital in a stable condition.
Helicopters, boats and dozens of divers are hunting for the others -- a 46-year-old British man and his son, a 14-year-old male Dutch citizen, and an 18-year-old Frenchwoman.
Police also revealed the boat captain who had taken the group to the diving site had been arrested after testing positive for drugs, without giving further details.
Grodem had been instructing the divers close to a small island about 15 kilometres (nine miles) off the coast when the accident happened, authorities said.
The group was in the water for 40 minutes. When they surfaced, they could not see their boat and drifted in strong currents, Nuing told reporters.
"The instructor tried to keep all of them together but they got separated," he said.
"We believe the three victims will be found safe as they are experienced divers."
The area where they disappeared is popular with foreign and domestic visitors -- there are resorts dotted along the coast and on nearby islands.
Diving accidents, while rare, do occasionally take place in Malaysia.
In 2013, a British tourist died when she was struck by a passing boat's propeller while diving off resort islands in the South China Sea.
The tropical Southeast Asian nation's white-sand beaches and lush rainforests have long made it a major draw, but the tourism industry was hit hard by travel curbs during the coronavirus pandemic.
The country's borders reopened to foreign tourists last week after a two-year closure.

Obama Returns to White House as Crises Mount for Biden
President Joe Biden is betting that a dose of nostalgia will give his sagging poll numbers a shot in the arm as former President Barack Obama visits the White House on Tuesday afternoon.
The trip will be Obama’s first return to the inside of the official presidential residence since he left office in 2017, according to The Hill.
Ostensibly, the former president will be at the White House to praise one of his signature programs: Obamacare.
Obama will “deliver remarks celebrating the success of the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid in extending affordable health insurance to millions of Americans,” a White House official said, according to Fox News.
Joe Biden is welcoming Obama back into the White House to celebrate the “success” of Obamacare.
Democrats live in an alternate universe.
— Brigitte Gabriel (@ACTBrigitte) April 5, 2022
“The runaway top issue on people’s minds is cost of living, and health care is at the top of this list,” David Axelrod, Obama’s chief political adviser, said, according to The Washington Post.
“If you want to get attention on this issue, bringing Obama back … to talk about what they’ve done together, and what he is trying to do, is a good strategic move,” he said.
Democratic strategist Eddie Vale predicted “a good event and a good speech as one always gets from Obama.”
But “no one should be anticipating Obama magically solving all of our problems,” he said, according to the Hill.
That would take real work.
“If Democrats want to have wins to run on in 2022 and 2024, they need to buckle down and get more bills on Biden’s desk,” Vale said.
Several observers said Biden needs the help.
“I think this comes at the right moment,” one unidentified Democratic strategist told the Hill. “We need a jolt of energy right now and no one brings that more than Obama.”
But any bounce Biden might get from the visit will be limited, according to Democratic strategist Joel Payne.
“Anytime you have a popular ex-president that is never a bad thing for a White House to be associated with, especially when you think of the history between President Biden and President Obama,” he told the Hill.
“That said, President Obama presents limited value for the Biden White House right now given the multiple crises they are managing in real time,” Payne said.
When new management is so bad that you have to bring in the old manager to get things back on track. #tuesdayvibe
— ninjaroo (@ninjaroo3) April 5, 2022
In a February Op-Ed for NBC News, W. James Antle III, politics editor of the Washington Examiner, said both Obama and former President Donald Trump overshadow Biden.
Antle wrote that “providing a temporary boost to the Democratic Party can’t be more important than the broader interests of democracy itself. Obama’s activities come as close to a violation of the one-president-at-a-time principle as we have seen in recent memory.”
“Biden cannot escape Obama’s shadow or Trump’s wrath, with each predecessor representing their slices of the electorate better than he does,” he said.

We first got to know chef Bo Porytko's rebellious take on food at Rebel, which shuttered in 2018. But Porytko made a comeback in 2019 when he took over the kitchen at Middleman. Instead of serving up typical bar snacks, though, Misfit pushes the bounds of culinary creativity — and you never know what you're going to find on the menu (except for the signature burger, which is one of the best in town). From a tempura-fried whole head of broccoli that looks more like a turkey leg than a veggie dish to duck and foie gras fried dumplings and andouille sausage Scotch eggs, we'll eat whatever Porytko is cooking.

Barcelona's teenage wizard: 'Pedri Potter' bringing Messi-esque magic back to Camp Nou
In the months after Lionel Messi’s painful departure, the Argentine was conspicuous by his absence at Barcelona.
Of course he was; Messi was the greatest player the club have ever had, and still the best player in the team until the day his contract ran out.
Messi was the name on everyone’s lips as Barca fell to defeats against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano, Bayern Munich and Benfica. With him, would it have been different?
Editors' Picks

- 'They will fight on their battlefield - the football pitch': Dynamo Kyiv's youth team prepare to make Ukrainian sporting history
- Ukraine crisis: How to help people affected by Russia invasion
Barcelona were lifeless, sinking without trace under Ronald Koeman, and after the Dutch coach was replaced by Xavi Hernandez in November, the team slowly began to stir.
Xavi’s team were more recognisable, but still a far cry from their best. They drew with Osasuna, Sevilla and Granada, lost at home against Real Betis and were eliminated from the Champions League after a 3-0 defeat at Bayern.
But in 2022, the team have moved up several gears. They put four past Atletico Madrid in a statement performance in February, then they did it again against Valencia - and Athletic Club - and Napoli - and Osasuna - and, most impressively, at Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid.
There are multiple reasons for their resurrection, from new signings Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferran Torres, to the high press being restored along with Xavi’s other tactical tweaks.
But a big, underestimated factor is the return of Pedro Gonzalez - or, as you might know him, Pedri.
While Messi’s absence was mourned, Pedri’s went under the radar. After appearing in the first few games of the season - including a 4-2 win over Real Sociedad - he suffered a hamstring injury, which kept him out until January.
Not only were Barcelona missing their talisman and all-time record goalscorer, they were also missing the teenager who took La Liga by storm in his first campaign and has not stopped improving since.
Pedri’s return from injury, immediately snapping back to the remarkable level he showed both at times last season and with Luis Enrique as a key player in Spain’s run to the Euro 2020 semi-finals, has propelled Xavi’s Barcelona forward.
He is a key catalyst for their resurgence in La Liga, and their hopes of winning the Europa League, where they face Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their quarter-final tie on Thursday.
Of course, it has not gone unnoticed in Catalunya. “Pedri, Pedri, Pedri,” chant the fans, - and the front covers of newspapers Diario Sport and Mundo Deportivo.
Pedri has become a fan favourite, Camp Nou’s new magician, filling the huge shoes Messi left behind, albeit from a different position, closer to a new Andres Iniesta, a comparison which has been made relentlessly, even by Xavi. And he should know.
“Pedri Potter” memes decorate social media, and Barcelona have leaned into the pop culture reference, selling his shirt in the club shop with a special tag.
“Attention!” it reads. “This jersey contains high doses of magic. It can be detrimental to your rivals. Property of the Prince of the Golden Boy.”
It is a fun idea, and there is a truth in it, with Pedri increasingly showing he has magic in his boots that few possess.
His nutmeg on Athletic Club’s Mikel Balenziaga in February drew fans to their feet, hands to their heads, but he also excels in less spectacular facets of the game.
He is agile, his passes fizz, they cannot be intercepted, and he has great vision of play.
Of course, what draws headlines are the big moments. His waltz into the box to score against Galatasaray in the Europa League was special, showing otherworldly calm in a fiery Istanbul atmosphere, and he pulled the same trick off again against Sevilla to earn Barcelona a 1-0 win on Sunday.
Sitting Ivan Rakitic and Diego Carlos down, before finishing from outside the area past the previously unbeatable Yassine Bono, flashing a shot right into the bottom corner.
“If I see legs in front, I cut back,” said Pedri, explaining simply something which stunned over 76,000 fans at Camp Nou.
If one thing was lacking from his game last season, it was goals, netting only four in 52 appearances. This season he has four in 19, and it would be five, had his rocket against Valencia not brushed against Aubameyang on its way in.
Pedri is already one of the world’s top midfielders, and perhaps even the best.
“Pedri gives us poise, he doesn’t lose the ball, he should be transcendental,” said Xavi. “There is no talent in the world like Pedri, and he is only 19.”
Kevin De Bruyne, who scored for Manchester City against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday, might disagree, but at 30 his time at the top is reaching its final years, while Pedri’s has barely begun.
“He dominates space and time to perfection,” said Xavi, prompting Radio Marca show 'La Pizarra de Quintana' to compare him to Doc Emmett Brown and his DeLorean, rather than Harry Potter.
That works, too, because Pedri plays - and sometimes speaks - like a 35-year-old Barca player who has reached the end of their career, gone back in time to adolescence and is starting again from scratch, with all his prior knowledge in the bank.
Maybe somewhere in the Grays Sports Almanac there was a photo of Rakitic and Diego Carlos on the floor, and so Pedri knew just what to do against Sevilla.
What used to be ‘Messi’s garden’ is now being called ‘Pedri’s garden’, and the chant fans have for him is sung in the same reverential intonation. They see him as the leader of this new generation, the best player in this current side and a key figure in the Barcelona project for the next five to 10 years.
“I don’t think I am the leader, we all are,” said Pedri after the 4-1 thrashing of Valencia.
Just wait until he realises how good he is, because what he can do then will be scary.

Allison Lorenzen's Tender paints an intimate portrait of learning to heal after heartache and turning those lessons into triumph. Trained as a dancer, Lorenzen brings dynamic movement to her compositions that create lush, imagery-filled sonic landscapes. The journey throughout the record — Lorenzen's first full-length, first solo and first self-recorded album — contrasts light and dark sentiments that parallel the highs and lows of her personal and creative process. Her songs juxtapose dissonance against radiating vocals, fuzzy guitar and synth with light touches of piano. Though "tender" has many meanings and layers of sentiment, Lorenzen weaves them together seamlessly into a dense meandering of images that invites listeners to create their own connections.

Following an extension of the federal student loan moratorium, SoFi Technologies Inc. trimmed its outlook for the full fiscal year Wednesday, with executives now assuming the moratorium will last at least through the rest of the year.
SoFi executives now expect to record $1.47 billion in adjusted net revenue for the year, along with adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Ebitda) of $100 million. SoFi’s
SOFI,
“Management now expects that a number of factors including the impending fall midterm elections will precipitate a likely seventh extension beyond August 2022 by the administration,” SoFi said in a Wednesday release. “Accordingly, management’s updated 2022 guidance assumes that the student loan moratorium will not in fact end during the course of 2022.”
Shares of SoFi were off about 6% in after-hours trading Wednesday. The stock closed with a 4.1% decline, and has dropped 44.7% so far this year, as the S&P 500 index
SPX,
Back when SoFi reported its fourth-quarter earnings in early March, the company had said that its outlook assumed that the moratorium on student-loan payments would expire at the start of May and that student-loan refinance originations would return to prepandemic levels midway through the second quarter.
The Biden administration said Wednesday that it was extending the pause until Aug. 31, pointing to data from the Federal Reserve suggesting that “millions of student loan borrowers would face significant economic hardship, and delinquencies and defaults could threaten Americans’ financial stability” were the payments to resume in May.
Several analysts seemed to agree with SoFi about the likelihood that the administration would push for another extension beyond August as a pre-election overture.
SoFi is keeping its original first-quarter outlook, which called for $280 million to $285 million in adjusted net revenue, as well as adjusted Ebitda ranging from break-even to $5 million. That original outlook assumed that the moratorium would extend through the first quarter, as it did.
Separately, the company announced that several of its board members plan to step down. Clay Wilkes, who founded the Galileo Financial Technologies business that SoFi acquired in 2020, is leaving the board of directors immediately. Michel Combes and Carlos Medeiros, both of SoftBank Group Corp.

“Clay, Michel, and Carlos have provided crucial guidance to the board and the management team as the company expanded into new products, raised significant capital, made a critical strategic acquisition, transitioned to being a publicly-traded company and received a national bank license,” Chief Executive Anthony Noto said in a release. “Given all that we have accomplished, this marks a natural point to continue the transition of our board in regards to its size and composition over time.”

Merely two months after the peak of the sixth wave, coronavirus infections are already rebounding in Japan, with experts again urging people to stay vigilant by getting vaccine booster shots, wearing masks and avoiding crowded places.
The seven-day average of new COVID-19 infections stood at 46,594 as of Tuesday, up from 43,250 the week before and increasing for two weeks in a row. New infections had been gradually declining for several weeks after the government in January began implementing quasi-emergency measures, which restricted business hours for restaurants and some activities.
The lifting of those measures nationwide in late March, an uptick in people’s movement around the April start of the new school and business year, and the spread of the highly transmissible BA.2 omicron subvariant are seen as factors behind the rebound. Experts said the situation needs close monitoring given that new cases are increasing in all age groups, but particularly among teens and those in their 20s.
Low vaccination rates among young people were discussed in a meeting Thursday between Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Shigeru Omi, the nation’s top coronavirus adviser. In an apparent attempt to entice younger people to get their third jabs, the government is reportedly considering offering discounts for music and sports events to people who have received booster shots.
“The level of new infections remains higher than in the peak we experienced last summer, and a potential rebound is a concern,” Takaji Wakita, chair of the health ministry’s COVID-19 advisory board, said after its weekly meeting Wednesday.
On the bright side, as the weather gets warmer, it becomes easier for people and businesses to ventilate indoor spaces, which can help reduce infections, Wakita said. People will also spend less time indoors, helping prevent the spread of the virus, he said.
But Hiroshi Nishiura, a mathematical modeling expert at Kyoto University, presented a grimmer outlook, saying “a seventh wave has already started.” He cited a resurgence in infections in many prefectures in recent days.
The pathogen fueling the current case increase is the BA.2 sublineage, a heavily mutated version of the coronavirus. BA.2 is more transmissible than the original omicron variant, BA.1, which led to record numbers of infections in Japan in February. Now accounting for 70% of new cases, BA.2 is expected to make up 90% of all new cases by the first week of May, according to surveillance data provided by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases.
Between the two variants, there has been no difference reported when it comes to vaccine efficacy or the risk patients will develop severe symptoms, meaning the treatments and prevention measures needed will be the same, said Motoi Suzuki of the NIID.
As the coronavirus continues to mutate, a new set of highly transmissible variants known as “recombinant variants” have been detected overseas. A recombinant variant occurs when an individual becomes infected with two or more variants at the same time, resulting in a mixing of their genetic material within the patient’s body, according to the U.K. Health Security Agency. The U.K. has already reported more than 600 cases of XE — a recombinant of the omicron variant’s BA.1 and BA.2.
In China, which is seeing its biggest outbreak since the coronavirus was first detected in Wuhan, authorities have reported two novel omicron subvariants that don’t match any existing sequences, according to Bloomberg News. It’s unclear how serious the symptoms caused by them are and whether they pose a significant risk.
Nishiura said Japan should also keep an eye on XE and other new variants.
“XE’s transmissibility is certainly higher than that for BA.1 or BA.2,” Nishiura said. “If people’s international mobility increases, XE has a high chance of replacing the current omicron variants. But we still don’t know the severity of symptoms among the infected people, so we need to examine the epidemiological impact of the variant closely.”
The omicron variant, first detected in South Africa last November, quickly overtook delta as the dominant strain worldwide. Many people infected with the omicron variant have developed mild or no symptoms, although the variant is far more infectious than delta. More recently, BA.2 has fueled a resurgence of infections worldwide.
BA.2’s generation time, or the time between the start of infection in a primary case and the start of infection in a secondary case, is slightly shorter than with BA.1, with both at around two days. Omicron’s generation time as a whole is also shorter than delta’s, which is around five days. The shorter the generation time, the harder it becomes to control an outbreak.

The length of your fingers could indicate how ill you will get if you contract Covid, according to a new study from the University of Swansea. The study found that a longer index finger relative to the ring finger indicated an elevated risk of Covid-19 hospitalisation and also found that hospitalized patients with Covid-19 had short pinky fingers compared to their other fingers.
The relative lengths of fingers are determined by hormones during pregnancy. The study, led by Professor John Manning, examines the link between testosterone and Covid-19 severity.
In general, men have longer ring fingers than index fingers due to higher levels of prenatal testosterone, whereas women have the opposite as a result of higher levels of oestrogen. Another indicator of low testosterone in puberty in particular is a shorter pinky or little finger relative to the middle finger, reports WalesOnline.
Relative finger length (Image: Swansea University)
Professor Manning, of the A-STEM research team, said: "Men who are hospitalized with Covid-19 tend to have very low testosterone and high oestrogen. In humans, patterns of digit length give us clues as to testosterone levels during development, both in the womb and in puberty.
"A long index finger (2D) relative to ring finger (4D) indicates low testosterone in the womb and a short little finger (5D) relative to the middle finger (3D) may indicate low testosterone in puberty. Both are more common in women than in men. In addition, there may be differences in these ratios between right and left hands, and these differences tend to be higher in women.
"We have found that in comparison to healthy controls, hospitalized patients with COVID-19 have (i) short little fingers compared to their other fingers (suggesting low testosterone during puberty), and (ii) the differences in right and left hand ratios are substantially higher, particularly for the index finger relative to the ring finger and for the little finger relative to the other fingers (suggesting low testosterone prenatally and in puberty).
"The patterns of 'female-type' digit ratios in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 suggest that the testosterone-depression and oestrogen-elevation caused by the virus is strong in individuals with 'feminized' ratios. The effects of this may be particularly problematic in men."
The professor added that low testosterone and high oestrogen prenatally and at puberty had been linked to other conditions such as obesity and heart disease in men, adding: "Covid-19 is potentially more serious in patients suffering from these pre-conditions."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The mass killing that left six people dead and 12 wounded outside bars just blocks from California’s Capitol last weekend was a gunfight involving at least five shooters from rival gangs, Sacramento police said Wednesday.
Police said they identified at least five gunmen but there may have been more. Only two suspects — both brothers wounded by gunfire — have been arrested in connection with the shooting and, so far, only face firearms charges.
“We're still working through ... who the actual shooters are in the case,” Sgt. Zach Eaton said.
Until Wednesday's announcement, police had been silent on what led to the shooting that erupted early Sunday as bars were letting out. Rapid-fire bursts of over 100 gunshots echoed through the streets as terrified patrons ran for their lives and others were hit by bullets.
Police said at least two gangs were involved. They declined to provide more details or name the gangs involved or the affiliation of any suspects.
Experts said that if gangs were to blame, it would mark an unusually bloody feud.
In 20 years of researching gangs in Los Angeles, Alex Alonso said he can’t remember a gang-related shooting with such a high body count.
“It’s extremely rare that a gang shooting happened as the way this one is being characterized,” Alonso said. “It’s extremely rare to have that happen in a public place with so many victims.”
Gregory Chris Brown, a criminal justice professor at California State University, Fullerton, said gangs often target rivals in drive-by shootings with fewer victims, though innocent bystanders are sometimes also struck.
The location of the Sacramento shooting – in a bustling area of watering holes near the entertainment district — was incidental to whatever fueled the fight.
“If rival gang members see each other it doesn’t matter if they’re in the Capitol of the United States of America,” Brown said. “If you see a rival gang member and you’re going to attack them, it doesn’t matter where they are.”
The large number of casualties was the result of high-capacity weapons in a crowded area, he said.
Berry Accius, founder of Voice of the Youth who leads gun intervention and prevention programs and offered his services to counsel families who lost loved ones in the shooting, criticized police for characterizing the crime as gang-related, which he said will lead some to “think Black people.”
He said people will see the photos of the Black women and men who were shot, assume they were in a gang and wonder why gang members are downtown.
“That’s the narrative we don’t need at this particular time,” Accius said. "This idea that we’re going to put blame to one demographic of folks and blame them for the violence that ensued.”
Bill Sanders, a criminologist at Cal State LA, said he wanted to see more evidence the shooting was gang-related, a term police often use to drum up support. He said gang shootings are more mundane and most occur in what are considered gang neighborhoods.
“If you looked at a map of gang homicides in the city — or any city — over time, you’d see the same areas lighting up — meaning that’s where they occur. If these guys were white, this wouldn’t be considered gang related — not even for a minute.”
Authorities credited witnesses who contributed nearly 200 videos, photos and other tips with helping the investigation.
Police were trying to determine if a stolen handgun found at the crime scene was used in the massacre. It had been converted to a weapon capable of automatic gunfire.
They are also investigating whether a gun one of the brothers, Smiley Martin, 27, brandished in a video was used in the shooting, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official was briefed on the investigation but was not authorized to publicly discuss details and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Martin and his brother were among those wounded in the gunfire that erupted about 2 a.m. Sunday as bars closed and patrons filled the streets.
The Sacramento County coroner identified the three women killed as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21. The three men killed were Sergio Harris, 38; Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32; and De’vazia Turner, 29.
Ten people were wounded in addition to the Martin brothers. At least two remained hospitalized with gunshot wounds.
Smiley Martin faces charges of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun. He remained hospitalized and it wasn’t clear if he had an attorney who could speak for him.
His brother, Dandrae Martin, 26, was arrested as a “related suspect” and appeared briefly Tuesday in Sacramento Superior Court on a charge of being a convict carrying a loaded gun.
He did not enter a plea and his attorney said she would wait to see if prosecutors brought more serious charges before deciding whether to seek his release.
Both men have criminal records. Smiley Martin was released from prison in February after serving about half of a 10-year prison sentence for beating a girlfriend. He was denied parole last year after prosecutors said he “clearly has little regard for human life,” documents show.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg questioned why the brothers were on the streets.
“Those questions need to be answered and they will be answered over the days ahead,” Steinberg said.
A 31-year-old man seen carrying a handgun immediately after the shooting was arrested Tuesday on a weapons charge. Police said they don’t believe his gun was used in the shooting.

France is "splitting Nato" with its push to continue talks with Vladimir Putin despite Ukraine’s accusations of war crimes, according to reports.
Emmanuel Macron, along with Germany and Turkey, wants to keep an open dialogue with Putin, while central European countries are pushing for a clean break, Western officials told the New York Times as Nato foreign ministers met in Brussels to discuss the war.
The move has led Poland to berate Mr Macon, saying "nobody negotiated with Hitler".
"Mr President Macron, how many times have you negotiated with Putin, what have you achieved? Have you stopped any of the actions that have taken place?" Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said earlier this week.
Mr Macron's office responded that it is important for Putin to understand the demands of Western countries and the cost for Russia of disregarding them.
Poland and the Baltic states are concerned that any outcome Russia could present as a victory would have serious implications for European security.
To other countries, there is little chance that Putin could be appeased and the war is likely to end messily.
But Nato officials agree that the war is far from over and Russia is making brutal and slow progress in the east of Ukraine.
"Moscow is not giving up its ambitions in Ukraine," Jens Stoltenberg, Nato’s secretary-general, said. "We now see a significant movement of troops away from Kyiv, to regroup, rearm and resupply. And they shift their focus to the east."
"In the coming weeks, we expect a further Russian push in the eastern and southern Ukraine to try to take the entire Donbas and to create a land bridge to occupied Crimea," Mr Stoltenberg added. "This is a crucial phase of the war."
The US and European Union are preparing to impose more sanctions against Russia following the massacre of Bucha, but the Nato meetings will focus on weapons, not sanctions.
Some weapon supplies are running low in the West.
Mr Macron has repeatedly worked to mediate between Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, since early February, calling the Russian leader 16 times and travelling to Moscow.
Elysée officials have in the past offered scathing readouts of the calls, saying Putin has appeared "paranoid" in these calls, has lied to the French leader and that Mr Macron told him he made a serious mistake in invading Ukraine on Feb 24.

Brighton ban fan convicted of shouting homophobic abuse at Amex Stadium
Brighton will hand an indefinite ban to a football supporter who was convicted of shouting homophobic abuse during a Premier League match at the Amex Stadium.
Luke Reece, 21, was overheard directing abuse at nearby Brighton fans by a member of club staff in the game against Arsenal on October 2.
Reece attempted to leave the ground after realising he had been spotted, but he was stopped by staff and police before being arrested.
Following a trial at Brighton Magistrates Court, Reece was on Tuesday convicted of indecent chanting at a designated football match and will serve a football banning order for three years. He was also fined and ordered to pay costs.
Brighton worked closely with Sussex Police on the case and following the guilty verdict will implement their own additional sanctions.
“We have a zero-tolerance approach on all forms of anti-social behaviour and this includes any form of abuse,” a club spokesman said on Thursday.
“We worked closely with Sussex Police to identify and prosecute the individual concerned and we welcome the guilty verdict from the courts.
“The individual will also be subject to an indefinite ban from the Amex.”

Birkenstock kicks off autumn by unveiling covetable new collections
From unisex sneakers to vegan clogs, there’s something for every fashionista looking for high-style footwear that’s unbelievably comfortable too
Did you know the origins of the covetable German brand, Birkenstock, can be traced back as far as 1774? Over the course of the company’s nearly 250-year history, its footwear has become synonymous with unbeatable comfort.
That’s because these playfully luxurious shoes were designed to promote healthy feet with a “foodbed” modelled on footprint in the sand. Created from all natural materials such as cork, jute, leather and latex, they mould to your foot for a personalised fit.
Of course, it’s not just the prospect of having comfy feet for hours on end that makes fashionistas lust after a pair Birkenstocks — it’s that they’re available in an array of high style designs too.
Needless to say, Birkenstock has fused functional design with seasonal flair to create its new autumn/winter collections. These include:
Bend
Birkenstock’s unisex Bend sneakers are sleek, sporty, chic and comfy.
The minimalistic design features either a smooth leather upper in Essential Black, Bright White, Silver or Roast (R3,299), or a soft suede and canvas upper in Sandcastle, Midnight, Whale Grey or Soft Pink (R2,999).
Suede Shearling
Birkenstock’s Suede Shearling sandals are available in the brand’s popular double strap style: the Arizona (R3,299). They’re made from soft, easy-to-care-for suede giving them a timeless look.
What makes them ideal for cooler days, however, is their warm and supremely plush shearling lining, which offers both insulating and natural moisture-wicking properties.
Available colours include Mink, Stone Coin, Black, Light Blue and Light Rose.
Earthy Vegan
Crafted from 100% animal-free materials, Birkenstock’s Earthy Vegan collection features clogs and sandals in a rainbow of soft, gorgeous colours. This includes styles such as the Arizona in Lavender Fog (R1,899), the Gizeh in Light Rose (R1,899), the Mayari in Sky (R1,999), the Boston in White (R2,399) and the Super Birki in Popcorn (R1,699).
Some of these sandals have a co-ordinating ombre print on their microfibre footbeds for an added touch of whimsy.
Oiled Leather
Oiled leather is a material that’s not only comfortable to wear, but ages beautifully over time giving it a rich character. So it’s no wonder Birkenstock has expanded its collection crafted from this premium material.
The new arrivals include a trio of styles featuring the brand’s classic buckle: the Franca, which with an elegant strappy design in Dusty Blue or Black, the Gizeh thong in Black and Cognac, and the Kumba with an adjustable backstrap in Cognac. All are priced at R2,699 a pair.
The Franca is also available in a D-Buckle design (R2,999) with an oiled nubuck leather upper in Classic Black or Cognac, and fully lined piumato leather footbed that makes it exceptionally comfortable.
Then there’s Oiled Leather Big Buckle collection, which boasts eye-catching oversized fittings for a feminine touch. It includes four different styles — the Arizona, Gizeh, Siena (R3,199) and Madrid (R2,799) — in Dusty Blue, Cognac or Essential Black.
High Shine Leather
With its sophisticated sheen, patent leather plays a staring role in Birkenstock’s High Shine collection. With high-gloss uppers complemented by footbeds lined in rich Italian leather, these sandals are as attention-grabbing as they are comfortable.
Styles in this collection include the Arizona (R3,399), Madrid (R2899) and Franca (R3,399), all of which are available in Luscious Black or Moreish Chocolate.

The project44 platform now delivers visibility for all rail movements across Europe, and enhances end-to-end intermodal visibility for barge freight
CHICAGO, April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- project44, the leading supply chain visibility platform, today announced its acquisition of Potsdam-based Synfioo, provider of the most comprehensive visibility and ETA platform for rail freight data in Europe. Through this deal, project44 has also extended its barge visibility for inland waterway segments across the continent.
Synfioo's visibility and ETA capabilities are a natural addition to project44's multi-modal visibility platform used by leading shippers, LSPs and carriers. With Synfioo, project44 will provide customers with unrivalled end-to-end data to facilitate faster on-time deliveries and more accurate ETAs, as well as low-carbon rail and barge shipping in Europe.
"Europe's rail infrastructure was developed nearly 200 years ago and was not built for the cross-border trade that exists today," said Marian Pufahl, former CEO & co-Founder of Synfioo. "Our platform brings together a proprietary infrastructure network and freight forwarder information to offer the most comprehensive rail freight data for Europe. Now as project44, we will continue to drive data harmonisation between the various rail networks and provide unrivalled visibility to our customers."
Through the acquisition, project44's European rail network now provides the following capabilities:
- Comprehensive visibility of all cargo rail movements across European countries
- IoT-enabled rail tracking combined with proprietary data, and direct integration to all of Europe's rail infrastructure networks for granular visibility
- Visibility of over 99% of European rail volume, including wagon-level tracking for 90% of rail cars, to ensure visibility for every customer shipment
- Intermodal end-to-end rail data combined with machine learning algorithms offering the most precise rail journey ETAs and customer delivery times
project44 has also enhanced its barge visibility capabilities as part of this acquisition, to provide granular, accurate visibility of vital inland waterway segments across Europe. Customers can now harness specialised data science techniques, combined with real-time satellite tracking, to ensure the most accurate visibility of inland waterways.
Key features include:
- Intelligent asset-matching technology which extends visibility coverage, using data science-based techniques to track individual barges in real-time, without requiring traditional identifying information
- Dynamic routing models that offer accurate ETAs, as well as intermodal end-to-end movements that include barge segments
- Sophisticated water depth modelling and inland waterway data sources which enable carriers to assess load capacity, maximise on-time deliveries and avoid delays for shippers and LSPs
"By acquiring Synfioo, we've not only expanded the breadth and depth of our visibility platform, but also added European tech talent and expertise to our rapidly growing international team, which is now well over 400 exceptional team members," said Renaud-Houri, EVP International at project44. "Shippers, LSPs and carriers aren't alone in navigating the complex European market, with project44's platform making it easier than ever to improve ETAs, reduce costs, maximise on-time deliveries and mitigate bottlenecks. Most importantly, this level of visibility will help more companies to harness sustainable, low-carbon rail and barge shipping, which will play a vital role in helping Europe meet its net-zero ambitions."

This information is essential to our customer commitment of responsive logistics," said Xavier Bour, Global Ground & Rail Leader at CEVA Logistics.

KIM Kardashian has transformed herself into a shrewd businesswoman and one of the most successful reality TV stars in history.
It's fair to say this meteoric rise to fame has increased her bank balance by quite a bit.
What is Kim Kardashian’s net worth?
As of April 2021, 41-year-old Kim is estimated to be worth $1.8billion (an estimated £2billion), according to Entertainment Tonight.
Kim improved her standing on the list by 1,000 stops, ranking in on this year's list at number 1,645.
In 2020, Kim followed in her sister Kylie's footsteps and sold a 20 percent stake in her KKW Beauty line to Coty for $200million (£145million).
Kim's 72 percent stake in her cosmetics brand has an estimated value of $500million (£362million), while her majority stake in SKIMS is estimated at $225million (£163million).
How does Kim Kardashian make her money?
It's fair to say that Kim has her finger on lots of pies.
Most of her wealth comes from her KKW Beauty company and SKIMS clothing brand, along with reality TV income, endorsements, and smaller investments.
She also has a huge property portfolio.
Kim also makes a huge amount of money from social media.
On Instagram alone, she can command up to $500K for one post.
What does she spend her money on?
It has been reported that Kim spends AT LEAST $168,880 per month on a team of beauty experts to travel with her and take care of everything from make-up to teeth whitening duties.
One of Kim's more blinged-out expenses was her diamond-encrusted grill, which cost her more than $60,000.
The cost is an estimate, but according to American Cosmetic Dentistry, it averages about $2,000 per tooth depending on the size and quality of the diamond.
Kim rented an entire island to celebrate Kanye's birthday last year, which received widespread backlash, with many seeing the move as out of touch in the middle of a global pandemic.
The birthday present cost her $440,000 for just four days on the island.
More on Kim Kardashian
Is Kim the richest Kardashian?
Kim is the richest of all her sisters, with KKW Beauty regularly racking in more than $100m in revenue since its inception in 2017, launched off the back of the success half-sister Kylie had with her make-up and cosmetic range.
Kim's first-ever launch of 300,000 contour kits sold out within the first two hours of release.
"It’s the first time I've moved away from having licensing deals and transitioned into being an owner," Kardashian West told Forbes in 2017.
