Richard E. Grant has written a memoir in honour of his late wife, Joan Washington.
Taking to social media on Thursday, the Can You Ever Forgive Me? actor posted the title and cover image for the upcoming book, titled A Pocketful of Happiness.
In the accompanying caption, Grant explained that the name was a tribute to Joan's desire to find "a pocketful of happiness in every day".
"My wife Joan's last challenge to me, was to try and find a pocketful of happiness in every single day. That instruction has proved to be profoundly powerful. Whenever I waver, her words ping across my cranium," he wrote. "This book, drawing on recollections from the past 4 decades, is my way of honouring that challenge. Published in September this year and am reading the audiobook."
The book is to focus on the present day with flashbacks to old diary entries from significant moments in the star's life and career.
Grant married voice coach Washington in 1986. She died in September 2021 after being diagnosed with lung cancer.
Regarding the project, Simon & Schuster publishing director Holly Harris insisted fans will be delighted by Grant's stories.
"Richard is disarmingly candid, funny and clever, and so it's no surprise that his memoir is absolutely brilliant. All of us at S&S are thrilled and honoured to be his publisher, and we cannot wait to share this heartbreaking and hilarious book this autumn," she added.
A Pocketful of Happiness is due to be released on 29 September.

High Court Judge Andrew Henshaw said it would not be overly burdensome for the country to file evidence by May 6 setting out its reasons for resisting investors attempts to lift a stay imposed on the English court enforcement proceedings.
The judge rejected investors' request that Russia file evidence by April 15 on the grounds that it may not cooperate with the proceedings due to difficulties finding lawyers willing to represent it. However, he also rejected Russia's proposed July deadline.
"I do put down a marker that the commercial court guide makes clear that a party wishing to adduce evidence" on foreign law, "do so at an early stage," the judge said.
Lawyers for Yukos Oil investors had urged the court to speed up Russia's legal challenges before the country could shift its assets out of the U.K. to avoid sanctions imposed over the invasion of Ukraine.
Jonathan Crow QC, counsel for the investors, argued that Russia's current solicitors, White & Case LLP, should file evidence on behalf of the country by early April in advance of a hearing later this fall on whether a stay on the enforcement proceedings in the U.K. should be lifted.
Crow said Russia's efforts to fight enforcement proceedings should be moved forward before the country can be allowed to "mess around" with the English court's timetable for filing evidence in what is believed to be the largest ever award issued in investment arbitration.
White & Case has condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and pledged to cease working for the country. Crow said they're looking to end their relationship "as soon as practicable" to give their new, unidentified lawyers time to come up to speed on the case.
Russia hasn't been able to find new counsel and there is a risk the case will break down, Crow said. If the country is willing to invade a peaceful neighbor, then thwarting English courts is "child's play," he added. Crow also suggested that Russia has been unable to find new counsel willing to represent it in the U.K.
The awards were issued by an international tribunal in The Hague in 2014. The dispute stemmed from the dismantling by Russia of Yukos, once the country's largest oil company. Hulley Enterprises Ltd., Veteran Petroleum Ltd. and Yukos Universal Ltd. have argued that the Russian Federation could use the delay in the enforcement to dissipate its assets in the U.K.
David Goldberg, a White & Case partner representing Russia, objected to investors' timetable as "unnecessarily tight." He argued that the sanctions made it "unrealistic" for the country to remove its assets. Goldberg declined to speculate what evidence Russia would file.
The case was paused in April 2021 pending Russia's appeal to the Dutch Supreme Court seeking to overturn a February 2020 decision that revived the awards. In November, the Dutch court sent Russia's lawsuit challenging the awards back to a lower court.
The investors have since asked a U.S. federal court to restart parallel enforcement proceedings in America.
Russia had advanced several arguments at the Dutch Supreme Court for why it should overturn The Hague Court of Appeal's decision from last year. Russia says that the London court incorrectly interpreted an underlying treaty, the Energy Charter Treaty, and that the federation had not agreed to be bound by the arbitration regulations, because the country never ratified it.
The awards were set aside by the District Court of The Hague two years after they were issued. But that decision was reversed in February 2020 by The Hague Court of Appeal, which ruled that the tribunal had jurisdiction and that its application of the treaty did not violate Russian law.
Russia has argued that even if the stay is lifted, the awards can't be awarded due to its sovereign immunity.
Hulley Enterprises Ltd., Yukos Universal Ltd. and Veteran Petroleum Ltd. are represented by Jonathan Crow QC of 4 Stone Buildings and Paul McGrath QC, Alison Macdonald QC, David Peters and Naomi Hart of Essex Court Chambers, instructed by Stephenson Harwood LLP.
The Russian Federation is represented by David Goldberg of White & Case LLP.
The case is Hulley Enterprises Ltd. and others v. The Russian Federation, case number CL-2015-000396, in the High Court of Justice of England and Wales.

Kelly Clarkson no more: Singer officially changes name to Kelly Brianne
LOS ANGELES — Introducing…Kelly Brianne!
The 39-year-old singer formerly known as Kelly Clarkson officially changed her name, according to court documents obtained by Today and People.
Clarkson, who rose to fame after becoming the first winner of “American Idol” in 2002, filed documents requesting her name be changed on Feb. 14. Brianne was the singer’s middle name, and in the filing she said the change “more fully reflects who I am.”
Last week, Clarkson explained her decision to People, saying she got divorced and so wanted to drop her married last name. The singer said, “I just kept my middle name for my personal life. I’m still Kelly Clarkson,” People reported. The singer acknowledged it would be difficult to be recognized by any other name, saying “I don’t think I can change Clarkson at this point. I’m 20 years in!”
Kelly Brianne finalized her divorce from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock earlier this month after they first separated in 2020, Today reported. The pair share two children, ages 7 and 5.
According to court documents, Kelly Brianne agreed to play Blackstock $115,000 a month in spousal support until Jan. 31, 2024, and will also pay $45,601 a month in child support, Fox News reported.

This April Fool's Day is no joke
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Motley Fool co-founders Tom Gardner and David Gardner are pleased to announce, on behalf of all Fools, the launch of The Motley Fool Foundation led by Executive Director Jennifer Gennaro Oxley. The Foundation's mission is to be the accelerator that makes financial freedom possible for all, continuing the disruptive legacy of its parent company. Today, the Foundation launches with the campaign "Financial Freedom for All: Imagine the Possibilities."
David Gardner stated, "Over the last nearly 30 years, The Motley Fool has sought to enable investments in many great companies that have changed the world for the better, helping us to deliver on The Motley Fool's purpose of making the world smarter, happier, and richer." In 2021, two-thirds of Americans remained either financially coping or vulnerable. The Motley Fool Foundation aims to pave an equitable path, and access to financial freedom for all. Gardner continued, "However, having been focused on people who have the capital to invest has left out about two-thirds of Americans that do not yet have that capital, in part due to inequitable access to our financial, education, health, and housing systems, as well as many other roadblocks to building wealth that exist today. We believe this must change."
With the benefit of Jennifer Gennaro Oxley's leadership, The Foundation's first partner is Ashoka, a pioneer in the social entrepreneurship space that is launching The Changemaker Initiative, which will identify and support a cohort of Financial Freedom Fellows and map the landscape to better understand the pain points in the system. One of the Foundation's first Financial Freedom Fellows, José Quiñonez of The Mission Asset Fund, is a leading innovator in financial wellness, focused on issues around access to credit to obtain capital for work, as well as literacy programs for the immigrant community.
Jennifer stated, "We believe that together, we can co-design an inclusive system and create a world where everyone has a seat at the table, and everyone benefits when our economy flourishes."
There are five key drivers that enable financial freedom: education, health, money, work, and housing. The Motley Fool Foundation believes that when they work together, people advance financially. The Foundation's goal is to change mindset at the organizational and individual levels, working to remove barriers to enable systematic change, and give more people access to short-term and long-term financial resources, so they will have the ability to make important life choices.

How to choose the best baseball bat for your needs
Unless you play Major League Baseball, you have a choice when it comes to picking the material for your bat. Your options are wood, aluminum or composite. Each of these materials provides the player with a distinct set of advantages. Each also has an inherent set of drawbacks.
When shopping for a baseball bat, you must consider what your needs are and match the type of bat to those needs. A wood bat still has its place, even though aluminum and composite bats offer a performance advantage.
Wood baseball bats
Because of safety (and other) issues, the MLB only uses ash, birch and maple bats. If you want to play like a pro, this would be your bat of choice. It honors tradition and offers a little more safety, although a pair of quality batting gloves will come in handy to reduce the sting.
Wood baseball bats pros
- From a budget perspective, wood bats are appealing because of their lower cost.
- Wood bats are the best bat for training because they provide the most feedback. This helps the player improve their swing mechanics.
- Wood bats are safer because the bat doesn’t increase the ball’s velocity like other materials.
Wood baseball bats cons
- Wood bats break more easily than aluminum or composite bats.
- The sweet spot on a wood bat is smaller than it is on the other options.
- Wood bats are the heaviest type of bat, which means they are harder to swing and may be smaller in size, so they won’t provide as much plate coverage.
Best wood baseball bats
The Big Stick is certified for MLB play. It is made of maple and employs a heavier barrel, making it ideal for power hitters.

Sold by Amazon
Aluminum baseball bats
Aluminum bats were introduced to college baseball in the early ’70s to cut down on the rising costs of replacing broken wood bats. Besides being more durable, aluminum is lighter than wood and provides more pop when hitting a ball. However, aluminum bats are not without their downsides.
Aluminum baseball bat pros
- Aluminum bats are best when they are new — there is no break-in period required.
- Aluminum bats have a larger sweet spot, which makes them ideal for a beginner who is having trouble hitting with any sort of power.
- Aluminum bats have a trampoline effect. When the bat makes contact, some of the energy is transferred to the ball, making it travel farther and faster than a ball hit by a wood bat.
- The lighter weight of an aluminum bat means they can be longer and larger, giving the player greater plate coverage and a faster swing.
Aluminum baseball bat cons
- Although an aluminum bat will rarely break, it can lose its pop over time. The more imperfections the bat gains from hitting balls, the more its performance deteriorates.
- Aluminum bats cost slightly more than wooden bats, but they are less than composite bats.
- With an aluminum bat, there is less feedback sent to the batter, so it can be harder for a beginner to develop proper swing mechanics.
Best aluminum baseball bats
Louisville Slugger Omaha USA Youth Bat
The Omaha USA youth bat features a one-piece construction. It feels solid in the batter’s hands and offers enhanced energy transfer. It has a cushioned leather grip for increased comfort and control.
Sold by Dick’s Sporting Goods

Sold by Dick’s Sporting Goods
This affordable aluminum bat is for entry-level T-ball players. The ultralightweight design is suitable for ages 7 and under. It has a large sweet spot to deliver greater satisfaction and foster confidence.
Sold by Amazon
Composite baseball bats
A composite baseball bat is made of carbon fiber. These crystalline filaments are thinner than a strand of human hair but become remarkably rugged when twisted together. It is a lightweight material that has incredible strength. Some composite bats are made from a single piece of material, while others are two-piece items: a handle and a barrel. A two-piece bat is better for the average player because it doesn’t transfer as much vibration to the hands after a solid hit. Advanced players with greater speed and power, however, may opt for one-piece bats.
Composite baseball bat pros
- Composite bats are the lightest baseball bats available. This lets manufacturers make longer bats without increasing the weight so players have greater plate coverage.
- Since most composite bats have a two-piece design, they are less likely to sting a player’s hands.
- Composite bats have a larger sweet spot, which makes them best for inexperienced players.
- Over time, the trampoline effect increases on a composite bat.
Composite baseball bat cons
- Composite bats are not as durable as aluminum bats, and it is possible to break them.
- Compost bats cost more than wood bats and aluminum bats.
- A composite bat is not ready to go out of the box. You need to break it in. This process takes anywhere from 150 to 300 hits.

This bat is available in five sizes ranging from 27-31 inches. It features an ultralightweight design to help young players succeed. The lower price adds value.

Should you get a wood, aluminum or composite baseball bat?
For the average player, an aluminum bat wins out because it offers the best of all worlds. It has a large sweet spot, a lightweight design, and it is available at a reasonable price. However, if you have an unlimited budget, a composite bat might edge out an aluminum bat. A composite bat won’t help you hit the ball farther, but the larger barrel and lighter weight design could up your batting average. For players who want to perfect their swing mechanics, however, there is no better option than using a wood bat at practice.

Opinions of Friday, 1 April 2022
Columnist: Joel Savage
The Chief Justice of Ghana, Kwasi Anin-Yeboah was appointed by the president, Nana Akufo Addo, to replace Justice Sophia Akuffo, a relative of the president who was the Chief Justice from 2017 to 2019.
Like every judge, before taking office, the new Chief Justice, Kwasi Anin-Yeboah swore an oath to protect and defend Ghanaians but he never did. He continues to abuse his power and deny the vulnerable people justice.
Kwasi Anin-Yeboah is responsible for Ghana’s political and economic crisis today for being one of the most dishonest Chief Justices in Ghana’s political history, after collaborating with the Electoral Commission boss, Jean Mensa to deny Mahama the 2020 presidential victory.
Free and fair election is not common in Africa, however, what Ghanaians witnessed in the 2020 presidential election can be viewed as the most fraudulent election in Ghana's political history.
The Electoral Commission boss, Jean Mensa, couldn't even explain to Ghanaians how she was able to come out with figures representing the votes.
None of the figures make sense and every effort by Ghanaians to give answers in the witness box was prevented by the Chief Justice, Anin-Yeboah.
Akufo Addo makes appointments that will benefit him only because of corruption and favoritism. That’s why he appointed his relative Ken Ofori-Atta as the Finance Minister and Anin-Yeboah as the Chief Justice.
The president doesn’t care if the common Ghanaians suffer, so long as he gets what he is looking for, therefore, he benefits from the work of the Chief Justice, while the majority of Ghanaians continue to suffer.
When the controversial E-Levy was proposed in parliament, the majority of Ghanaians who aren’t interested refused it. Also, the Minority in Parliament blocked the passing of the E-Levy, because it’s a fraudulent means of generating tax from the poor people.
Despite the public outcry against it, Akufo Addo together with Anin-Yeboah, manipulated their way through to impose the E-Levy on the poor Ghanaians, after a seriously sick MP was taken from the house with an ambulance to the Parliament to pass the E-Levy.
Since from 2019 Kwasi Anin-Yeboah was appointed the Chief Justice, the majority of Ghanaians are disappointed and have lost confidence in him.
His respect decreased in the eyes of Ghanaians when he was accused of accepting a 5million dollars bribe from someone.

U.S. imposes North Korea-related sanctions - Treasury website
Article content
WASHINGTON — The United States has imposed sanctions on five North Korea-linked entities, the Treasury Department said on its website on Friday, following a recent series of missile launches by Pyongyang.
North Korea last week said it tested a new, powerful type of intercontinental ballistic missile, marking an end to a self-imposed moratorium on long-range testing in place since 2017 and drawing international condemnation.

A COUPON Queen has explained how to get free items or save some cash when shopping at Aldi, KFC and H&M.
Money saving expert and vlogger Holly Smith revealed how to shave money off your bills on today's This Morning show on ITV.
From money saving apps that can bag you cheap food at Greggs to getting a free side at KFC, Holly shared her tips on how to get freebies from supermarkets, shops and chains.
The hacks will likely come in handy as families are facing up to a 37.2% hike to the cost of fridge staples, according to latest ONS figures.
And prices of clothes and eating out are going up too as a cost of living crisis bites.
But making the most of offers, apps and freebies can help you keep more cash in your pocket.
Use cashback apps
Holly explained how using apps can help you get free stuff at the supermarket when you're doing your weekly shop.
Holly said apps like CheckOutSmart and Shopmium are worth downloading in order to get your money back on your shopping.
They work in a similar way by listing products sold in big supermarkets where you can get part of, or all of, your cash back when you buy them.
All you need to do is take a picture of your receipt, upload to the app and the cash will land in your account.
"You get loads of free stuff - you can get £30 worth of stuff for free each week easily," she said.
Most read in Money
The apps are free to download via Google Play or the App Store.
Free nappies at Aldi
You can get a 24 pack of Mamia size one newborn nappies from Aldi using Holly's trick.
They usually cost 79p from the budget supermarket, but you can get the full-sized pack for FREE thanks to a Netmums trial.
To claim the pack you just have to fill out your details on Netmums' free-sample form.
The only catch is that the Mamia newborn nappies are exclusively available at Aldi, so you won't be able to pick them up anywhere else.
You have to venture into the store to pick them up too, as the freebie can't be redeemed online.
"It's a paper coupon, so they will send it through the post so when you go to do your grocery shopping at Aldi.
"Obviously you pick up the full sized pack of nappies[...] hand them [the cashier] the coupon and it's done."
Free sanitary towels
If you head to Always' website, you'll be able to get a pack of sanitary towels for free.
All you need to do is pick the free sample you want - there are four packs to choose from - and fill out an online form.
You can only order one sample per household, and the pack will arrive in 28 days.
"These type of samples come with free coupons with them - once you've tried the product and you've picked the one you like, you can go and get some money off them while you're at the supermarket," Holly said.
Money off at Greggs, Morrisons and more
Cashback apps aren't the only ones that can get you money off your shopping.
Holly said the TooGoodToGo app can bag you food from restaurants and supermarkets like Greggs and Morrisons for much less.
Shoppers can buy leftover food from shops which would have only chucked the grub out anyway at rock bottom prices.
Some families have bought £40 worth of food for just a fiver from M&S using the app, so there's big savings to be made.
"I do this with my local fish and chip shop," Holly said.
"I went a couple of weeks ago and it cost me £3.50 - I got £40 worth of food for the entire family."
Free side at KFC
Hungry families can bag free food at KFC if they download the chain's app, Holly said.
"What you've got to do is download the KFC app, and as soon as you register, you'll get a free side," she said.
You can get a free drink, or a regular side like hot wings.
New customers who download the KFC app will automatically get given three stamps to exchange for a side or drink.
To get the freebie, you must download the app and register with your name, email address and postcode. You’ll then get sent an email to verify your account.
From there, you can start redeeming your freebie with your three stamps right away.
All you have to do is click on the “Free Side” button on the app when you’re in a KFC branch and this will generate a QR code to be scanned at the cashier.
Free £5 for clothes from H&M
If you're wanting new clothes but don't want to splash the cash, head to H&M.
At H&M stores, return clothes you no longer use and you'll get 20 points and a digital Bonus Voucher giving you £5 off when spending £25 or more.
You need to be a member of H&M's loyalty scheme to get the points but it's free and you get other discounts too.
For every 100 points you collect, you unlock a £3 Bonus Voucher, so for every five items returned (earning 20 points for each), you get £3 vouchers in addition to the £5 one.
You can also build up points for money off through bringing in your own bag when shopping and when buying certain items labelled as "conscious".
The more items you return for recyling, the more you'll save.
You can take a look at H&Ms reward scheme here, including the points you can earn and how to join.
"It doesn't matter the condition - if you have clothes with rips in, it doesn't matter because they recycle them.
"Take a little bag, take [your clothes] in, hand it to them in store and they will give you a £5 voucher off a £25 spend."
Here's how one supermarket shopping expert NEVER pays full price on his groceries.
The Sun revealed that supermarkets use six sneaky tricks to try and coax shoppers into spending more money.
One savvy saver managed to save £200 on her food shop going to wholesalers instead of the supermarket.

One of Norfolk’s largest employers will see production moved out of its plant over the course of the next several months.
Multiple employees at Cardinal Health told the Daily News that they were informed this week that the company would be shifting some of its production to plants outside Norfolk.
One employee said first-shift workers were notified on Monday that there would be a “mandatory huddle” the next morning.
Asked about the decision on Thursday, Erich Timmerman, director of media relations for Cardinal Health, said the company has been and will continue to be transparent with Norfolk employees about upcoming changes.
“We continually adapt our business to meet the changing needs of our industry and have made the difficult decision to move partial production out of this plant to other suppliers over the course of the coming year,” Timmerman said. “Any potential employee impacts will be assessed and communicated with transparency. There are no immediate employee impacts.”
Cardinal Health had announced in April 2017 that it entered into an agreement to acquire Medtronic's Patient Care, Deep Vein Thrombosis and Nutritional Insufficiency businesses for $6.1 billion in cash. The Norfolk Medtronic plant at the time, which manufactures medical products such as syringes, was part of the transaction.
Wednesday’s announcement represents the latest company change affecting the Norfolk plant, which was built in 1961 and celebrated its 50th year in 2011.
Rui Dos Santos, the plant manager in 2011, said much had changed since Warren Cook, who was mayor in 1961, convinced a company president to locate in Norfolk.
“While our plant’s corporate identity has evolved over the years … one thing remained constant throughout this vibrant history: the resolve of our hard-working employees and steady support from a loyal Norfolk community,” Dos Santos said.
When the plant opened, its original building was 50,000 square feet, growing to 245,000 square feet in 2011. It evolved from a hand assembly operation to a highly automated manufacturing facility, operating around the clock.
Among the products the plant manufactured were disposable syringes, blood collection tubes, thermometer covers and other vital medical supplies that are used in hospitals and exam rooms all over the world.
With its headquarters in Dublin, Ohio, Cardinal Health is a global, integrated health care services and products company, providing customized solutions for hospitals, health systems, pharmacies, ambulatory surgery centers, clinical laboratories and physician offices worldwide.
According to its website, Cardinal Health serves nearly 90% of U.S. hospitals, more than 60,000 U.S. pharmacies and more than 10,000 specialty physician offices and clinics.
The Norfolk plant employed about 440 people in 2018 and at one point had around double that amount.
Timmerman did not disclose how many employees would be directly affected by the production changes, nor did he say what led to the company’s decision.

- Name Jane Meagher
- Labour candidate for Portobello and Craigmillar
My story
For nine years, I was business manager, firstly for The City of Edinburgh Council’s Labour Group and then for the Labour Council Leader, helping to put Labour’s policies into practice. Before that, I worked in the council for 28 years in various community work posts across the city, for example running a community centre; as a youth worker and as an adult education worker and training officer.
All this experience means that I have an excellent understanding of how the council works politically, and across all its departments. It helps me understand the challenges faced in communities and how to tackle them.
I have been active against injustice all my adult life, including in the anti-apartheid movement in my teens, as a shop steward and Equalities Officer in my union, in the Women’s movement and as a founder member of Edinburgh’s Rape Crisis Centre.
Currently, I volunteer with Bethany overnight shelter, cooking and serving meals to people who are homeless, and with a children’s choir, sharing my love of singing with children from across Edinburgh.
Now I want to put all that experience to good use as a councillor for the benefit of the community I have lived in for 36 years.
My main campaign issues are:
Tackling the climate catastrophe
Improving social care by recruiting more workers so that care packages meet people’s needs
Ensuring more affordable housing
Fighting for good quality education and youth work to support young people to achieve the future they deserve after suffering during the pandemic.
What have been Labour’s achievements in Portobello/Craigmillar?
Built a new High School for Craigmillar
Built a new St John’s Primary school
Built new social housing in Bingham
Tell us something that few people know about you
I have 7 sisters and 2 brothers.

NEW YORK — Fox News Channel says it has hired Caitlyn Jenner as a contributor, with her first appearance set for Thursday on Sean Hannity's program.
Jenner, the former Olympic decathlete, ran an unsuccessful campaign for California governor last year. The network said she'll offer commentary and analysis across various Fox News Media platforms.
“Caitlyn's story is an inspiration to us all,” said Suzanne Scott, Fox News Media CEO. “She is a trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community and her illustrious career spans a variety of fields that will be a tremendous asset for our audience.”
Jenner won the Olympic gold medal in the decathlon in 1976. She later came out as a transgender and identifies as a female.
She said in a statement she was “humbled by this unique opportunity” to speak directly to Fox's audience.

PUTRAJAYA, April 1 — The situation at all entry points at the country’s borders are under control with no occurrence of any untoward incidents following the reopening of Malaysia’s borders after two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said.
He said the police have adequate personnel on duty at entry points to ensure that cross-border movement proceeds smoothly.
“I can say that the situation is under control, we do see some congestion at the Johor-Singapore border, but it’s all under control.
“Also, the cooperation between the police and public is one of the reasons why everything is going smoothly without any issues on the day our borders reopen,” he told reporters after attending the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) appreciation ceremony here today.
He advised the public to always comply with rules and the standard operating procedure set by the government, especially where cross-border movement was concerned.
On March 8, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob had announced the reopening of Malaysia’s borders on April 1 in line with the government’s plan of transitioning to the endemic phase.
Meanwhile, Acryl Sani denied that there was outside interference or moves by any cartel to decide leadership positions in the police force when he was asked to comment on the matter.
“The issue of a cartel in the police force does not exist because if it did, everyone would see a group of individuals who are always at the forefront.
“The placement of officers and personnel need to undergo several vetting process at contingent, management department stages before it comes to me myself and then forwarded to the Police Force Commission for final decision,” he said.
He added that the strict vetting process made it hard for any individual manipulation or outside interference to occur.
“I don’t see it happening and if there is outside interference, it will cause the senior officers’ lineup to be disorganised,” he said.
On February 28, the EAIC unanimously found that former IGP Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador lost his right to comment on the cartel issue as he had failed to produce any evidence to back up his claim. — Bernama

The first fines issued by police investigating parties Whitehall held during lockdown have reportedly started arriving.
The fixed penalty notices are thought to relate to one of the earliest events under investigation – a leaving do held in the Cabinet Office on June 18 2020 to mark the departure of a private secretary.
The £50 fines are said to have been delivered by email and issued to junior civil servants.
The Metropolitan Police said on Tuesday that investigators were referring 20 notices to the ACRO Criminal Records Office, which is responsible for issuing the penalties.
They made it clear that more fines may be issued as inquiries continue.

BERLIN (AP) — German prosecutors say they have charged a former German military reserve officer with spying for a Russian intelligence service for several years.
Federal prosecutors said Friday that the indictment against the suspect, identified only as Ralph G. in line with German privacy rules, was filed March 16 at the state court in Duesseldorf.
They said that, in addition to his position in the German military, the suspect was a member of several German business committees thanks to his civilian job. They didn’t elaborate.
The suspect allegedly was in contact with Russian intelligence “via various people” by October 2014 and passed on information connected to his military and business activities until March 2020.
Prosecutors said that included information on the German Bundeswehr’s reserves and on civilian-military cooperation, as well as insights on the effect of sanctions imposed against Russia in 2014 on Germany, the European Union, and on the now-suspended Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project.
The suspect also allegedly provided his handlers with private contact details for high-ranking military and business officials. He also provided an “overview” of the security and defense policy of the U.S. and its Western allies, according to prosecutors.
In return for his efforts, he received invitations to Russian official events, they said.

Seismic activity on the earthquake-hit, mid-Atlantic island of Sao Jorge, in Portugal’s Azores archipelago, remained above normal levels, with the number of tremors topping 24,000 since the crisis began nearly two weeks ago.
There are fears the tremors, which have reached a magnitude of up to 3.8 but caused no damage so far, could herald a volcanic eruption for the first time since 1808, or a powerful earthquake.
Eduardo Farias, head of Azores’ Civil Protection authority, said the number of daily earthquakes decreased on Thursday compared to the day before, but said there was no explanation for the drop.
He said the earthquakes’ epicentre was shifting toward the island’s western side, with geologist Jose Madeira telling Portuguese daily i there was a possibility the magma was flowing in that direction.
Although not imminent, Madeira said the probability of an eruption was “very high”. The volcanic alert was raised to Level 4 last week, meaning there is a “real possibility” the volcano could erupt.
The seismic activity in Sao Jorge, home to around 8,400 people, is reminiscent of the earthquakes detected before the first eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on Spain’s La Palma island last September. Sao Jorge’s volcanic system is similar to the one on the Spanish island.
Out of fear, many have already left the island by sea or air while care-home residents and those with reduced mobility have been evacuated to Sao Jorge’s eastern part.
“I feel quite terrified,” retiree Jorge Bettencourt, 69, said as he wandered around Velas.
School technical assistant Cesar Sequeira, 45, has experienced other seismic crises on the island, but said the uncertainty of the current situation was making things harder.
“Maybe people are getting very worried and anxious because they don’t know when it can happen,” he said.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) — The pilots on a Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Washington, D.C., decided to bring their jet down in Denver after the cockpit windshield shattered above 30,000 feet. The crew repeatedly told passengers to remain calm until they landed.
“They came on the loudspeaker saying that the windshield had shattered, and we were diverting to Denver in about 10 minutes,” Rachel Wright, one of the 198 passengers on the plane, told KUTV.
A photo of the windshield taken by a passenger shows the glass, though lined with cracks, didn’t fall from its frame. Commercial airline pilots said jetliner windshields can be 2 inches (5 centimeters) thick, with several layered panes of glass, the station reported.
The crew announced the diversion about 90 minutes into the flight, after the plane reached cruising altitude, which is above 30,000 feet (9,140 meters), passengers said.
“They kept coming on saying for everyone to stay calm, to be calm, and we were calm so being told to stay calm while we were calm made us feel a little panicky,” Wright said.
Passengers were able to see the shattered glass once they landed in Denver.
“I’m really good at playing ‘what if?’ And so, my mind goes to kind of what could have happened, worst-case scenario, and I’m grateful,” Wright said. “It could have been really bad. It could have gone very differently.”
Another passenger, Kirk Knowlton, snapped a pictureand tweeted that the crew had announced that the windscreen appeared to crack spontaneously.
Delta spokesperson Anthony Black on Friday confirmed the “windshield crack” but said the cause had not been determined.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the flight crew diverted into Denver and the plane landed routinely. Our team worked quickly to accommodate customers on a new plane, and we sincerely apologize for the delay and inconvenience to their travel plans,” an airline statement said.
Passengers boarded a new plane in Denver and continued on to Washington. Wright praised Delta for bringing the jet down safely, and said the airline was very accommodating.
“I’ve never been more grateful to spend an extra three hours in an airport,” Wright said.

The Biden administration on March 31, 2022, said it plans to release an unprecedented 180 million barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to combat the recent spike in gas and diesel prices. About a million barrels of oil will be released every day for up to six months.
If all the oil is released, it would represent almost one-third of the current volume of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It follows a release of 30 million barrels in early March, a large withdrawal until the latest one.
But what is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, why was it created, and when has it been used? And does it still serve a purpose, given that the U.S. exports more oil and other petroleum products than it imports?
As an energy researcher, I believe considering the reserve’s history can help answer these questions.
Origins of the reserve
Congress created the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as part of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 in response to a global oil crisis.
Arab oil-exporting states led by Saudi Arabia had cut supply to the world market because of Western support for Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Oil prices quadrupled, resulting in major economic damage to the U.S. and other countries. This also shook the average American, who had grown used to cheap oil.
The oil crisis caused the U.S., Japan and 15 other advanced countries to form the International Energy Agency in 1974 to recommend policies that would forestall such events in the future. One of the agency’s key ideas was to create emergency petroleum reserves that could be drawn on in case of a severe supply disruption.
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act originally stipulated the reserve should hold up to 1 billion barrels of crude and refined petroleum products. Though it has never reached that size, the U.S. reserve is the largest in the world, with a maximum volume of 714 million barrels. The cap was previously set at 727 million barrels.
As of March 25, 2022, the reserve contained about 568 million barrels.
Oil in the reserve is stored underground in a series of large underground salt domes in four locations along the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana, and is linked to major supply pipelines in the region.
Salt domes, formed when a mass of salt is forced upward, are a good choice for storage since salt is impermeable and has low solubility in crude oil. Most of the storage sites were acquired by the federal government in 1977 and became fully operational in the 1980s.
History of drawdowns
In the 1975 act, Congress specified that the reserve was intended to prevent “severe supply interruptions” – that is, actual oil shortages.
Over time, as the oil market has changed, Congress expanded the list of reasons for which the Strategic Petroleum Reserve could be tapped, such as domestic supply interruptions due to extreme weather.
Prior to March 2022, about 280 million barrels of crude oil had been released since the reserve’s creation, including a 50 million release that began in November 2021.
There have only been three emergency releases in the reserve’s history. The first was in 1991 after Iraq invaded Kuwait the year before, which resulted in a sharp drop in oil supply to the world market. The U.S. released 34 million barrels.
The second release, of 30 million barrels, came in 2005 after Hurricanes Rita and Katrina knocked out Gulf of Mexico production, which then comprised about 25% of U.S. domestic supply.
The third was a coordinated release by the International Energy Agency in 2011 as a result of supply disruptions from several oil-producing countries, including Libya, then facing civil unrest during the Arab Spring. In all, the agency coordinated a release of 60 million barrels of crude, half of which came from the U.S.
In addition, there have been 11 planned sales of oil from the reserve, mainly to generate federal revenue. One of these – the 1996-1997 sale to reduce the federal budget deficit – seemed to serve political ends rather than supply-related ones.
A better way to avoid pain at the pump
President Joe Biden’s November decision to tap the reserve was also seen as political by Republicans because there was no emergency shortage of supply at that time.
Similarly, the latest historic release of 180 million barrels could also be seen as serving a political purpose – in an election year, no less. But I believe it also seems perfectly legitimate in terms of fulfilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve’s original purpose: reducing the negative impacts of a major oil price shock.
Though the U.S. is today a net petroleum exporter, it continues to import as much as 8.2 million barrels of crude oil every day.
[Over 150,000 readers rely on The Conversation’s newsletters to understand the world. Sign up today.]
But in my view, the best way to avoid the pain of oil price shocks is to lower oil demand by reducing global carbon emissions – rather than mainly relying on releases from the reserve.

The House has passed a bill capping the monthly cost of insulin at $35 for insured patients, part of an election-year push by Democrats for price curbs on prescription drugs at a time of rising inflation.
Experts say the legislation, which passed 232-193 Thursday, would provide significant relief for privately insured patients with skimpier plans and for Medicare enrollees facing rising out-of-pocket costs for their insulin. Some could save hundreds of dollars annually, and all insured patients would get the benefit of predictable monthly costs for insulin. The bill would not help the uninsured.
But the Affordable Insulin Now Act will serve as a political vehicle to rally Democrats and force Republicans who oppose it into uncomfortable votes ahead of the midterms. For the legislation to pass Congress, 10 Republican senators would have to vote in favor. Democrats acknowledge they don’t have an answer for how that’s going to happen.
“If 10 Republicans stand between the American people being able to get access to affordable insulin, that’s a good question for 10 Republicans to answer,” said Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., a cosponsor of the House bill. “Republicans get diabetes, too. Republicans die from diabetes.”
Public opinion polls have consistently shown support across party lines for congressional action to limit drug costs.
But Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., complained the legislation is only “a small piece of a larger package around government price controls for prescription drugs.” Critics say the bill would raise premiums and fails to target pharmaceutical middlemen seen as contributing to high list prices for insulin.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Democrats could have a deal on prescription drugs if they drop their bid to authorize Medicare to negotiate prices. “Do Democrats really want to help seniors, or would they rather have the campaign issue?” Grassley said.
The insulin bill, which would take effect in 2023, represents just one provision of a much broader prescription drug package in President Joe Biden’s social and climate legislation.
In addition to a similar $35 cap on insulin, the Biden bill would authorize Medicare to negotiate prices for a range of drugs, including insulin. It would penalize drugmakers who raise prices faster than inflation and overhaul the Medicare prescription drug benefit to limit out-of-pocket costs for enrollees.
Biden’s agenda passed the House only to stall in the Senate because Democrats could not reach consensus. Party leaders haven’t abandoned hope of getting the legislation moving again, and preserving its drug pricing curbs largely intact.
The idea of a $35 monthly cost cap for insulin actually has a bipartisan pedigree. The Trump administration had created a voluntary option for Medicare enrollees to get insulin for $35, and the Biden administration continued it.
In the Senate, Republican Susan Collins of Maine and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are working on a bipartisan insulin bill. Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock has introduced legislation similar to the House bill, with the support of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
Stung by criticism that Biden’s economic policies spur inflation, Democrats are redoubling efforts to show how they’d help people cope with costs. On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported a key inflation gauge jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year rise since January 1982.
But experts say the House bill would not help uninsured people, who face the highest out-of-pocket costs for insulin. Also, people with diabetes often take other medications as well as insulin. That’s done to treat the diabetes itself, along with other serious health conditions often associated with the disease. The House legislation would not help with those costs, either. Collins says she’s looking for a way to help uninsured people through her bill.
About 37 million Americans have diabetes, and an estimated 6 million to 7 million use insulin to keep their blood sugars under control. It’s an old drug, refined and improved over the years, that has seen relentless price increases.
Steep list prices don’t reflect the rates insurance plans negotiate with manufacturers. But those list prices are used to calculate cost-sharing amounts that patients owe. Patients who can’t afford their insulin reduce or skip doses, a strategy born of desperation, which can lead to serious complications and even death.
Economist Sherry Glied of New York University said the market for insulin is a “total disaster” for many patients, particularly those with skimpy insurance plans or no insurance.
“This will make private insurance for people with diabetes a much more attractive proposition,” said Glied.

A millionaire property mogul who mentally and physically abused his wife for years and denied her a divorce has been jailed today. Alan Moher, 57, was seen laughing and 'smirking' in the dock before being sentenced to 18 months behind bars at Southwark Crown Court.
His wife, Caroline Moher, brought a private prosecution against her husband, Alan Moher, 57, for a charge of controlling and coercive behaviour between January 2016 and January last year. Mr Moher, had refused to grant his wife a 'Get', a document that formally recognises the end of a marriage in the orthodox Jewish faith.
Mr Moher, from Salford, was due to stand trial at Southwark Crown Court last February but changed his plea to guilty. Under Jewish Law, only husbands can agree to a 'Get', reports MyLondon.
Failure to issue a ‘Get’ means Mrs Moher is unable to remarry, have more children or enter into a relationship with another man. While the couple were divorced in a civil court in 2019, they are not considered divorced under Jewish law.
The court heard that Mr Moher used his power to prevent the dissolution of the couple’s religious marriage which caused her emotional and psychological distress, effectively making her “chained” to her husband. On January 23, 2016, shortly after he had received notification from her solicitor that Mrs Moher would be seeking a divorce, Mr Moher threatened her, saying: “You are not f**king getting a Get, you will be one of those chained women.”
On May 9, 2019, when both Mr and Mrs Moher were attending proceedings at the Court of Appeal, Mr Moher again approached Mrs Moher during a break in the proceedings and said: “You may get all of the money, but I swear on [their daughter's] life, you will never ever get the Get from me.”
The court also heard about the extensive physical, emotional and financial abuse Mrs Moher experienced at the hands of her husband during their two decades of marriage which led Mrs Moher to attempt to take her own life. After the attempt, Mr Moher texted his wife saying: “What colour do you want on your gravestone?”
In another instance, Mr Moher deliberately drove his car on the wrong side of the road towards Mrs Moher while she was driving along Singleton Road, before swerving out of the way while laughing at her. When Mr Moher was informed that Mrs Moher had started divorce proceedings, Mr Moher told his wife to “piss off and curl up and die”, the next day Mr Moher put his hands around her throat, spat and screamed in her face and made a threat to her life.
In his statements, Judge Hiddleston said he was satisfied with reports that concluded Mr Moher ‘tormented’ his wife. He said: “Your wife sought to walk away from you to start a new life and as a result you have sought to make it as difficult and painful as you could.”
Jeffery Israel, defending, said: “My client is a 57-year-old man and aside from a single public order incident I would ask the court to treat him as a man of previous good character.” He argued that Mr Moher's autism prevented him from showing emotion. " The general score for being autistic is 65, he scored 199. That really does give Your Honour some proper understanding of Mr Moher's personality and the difficulties that he faces. He's pleaded guilty and that should really go to his credit."
Judge Hiddleston acknowledged the guilty plea and said that this had reduced what would have been a 21-month sentence to 18 months. Mr Moher was also required by the court to make a contribution of £11,000 to court fees. Mr Moher showed no emotion when the verdict was read aloud and was quickly taken into custody. Mrs Moher, who was in attendance, broke down in tears.
In a victim statement read by the prosecutor, she said: “I have very little confidence left and I feel totally destroyed as a person, because of the way that Alti [her husband] treats me. Alti controlled me in every aspect of my life together with him. I felt that he always behaved like my headmaster and I was the pupil. He always seemed to put the fear of God in me. He totally manipulated me and moulded me to how he wanted me to be."
“Imagine being put into a straitjacket, gagged, your hands and feet are tied. You are blindfolded. You are in a cold, dark place. Your only weapon is that you are able to hear. You are dependent on your captor to set you free . That's how I feel still being "married" to Alti/Alan.”
“I have lived with so much stress, heartache, responsibility, hurt, upset, fear, panic, depression, loneliness, abandonment, disappointment, despair and suicidal thoughts, that I am not quite sure how I am able to stand up tall, with my head held high. Feelings of living as a recluse and being an introvert set in. I wear a cap and turn my collar up to nip in to the Kosher shops, hoping that no one recognises me, as I am incognito. I then make a dash for my car, jump in and lock the doors straight away for fear that Atli is still lurking somewhere in a dark place, waiting to pounce on me and kill me. And then I am grateful to make it home to my safe place…”
“I am always a positive person, able to find solutions, but the situation that I find myself in is not one that I can find a solution to, because my life is hanging in Atli's hands, my freedom is in his hands, and he knows it, and relishes in that fact that only he can set me free, but will not. He is a sadistic man and has always enjoyed watching me suffer throughout our marriage. He is enjoying this now. He always enjoyed watching me beg him to put some money into my account, in order that I would not be overdrawn in my bank account. I feel like I have a noose around my neck, a ball and chain at my feet, still being halachically married to him. The problem is always there. I can never forget that I am bound to this monster. I do not think that I could ever trust another man, because of the mistrust and abuse that I had from Alti.”

Doctor Who: Moffat Is "Terrified to Say Anything" About Davies' Plans
On April 17th, the second of current Doctor Jodie Whittaker & showrunner Chris Chibnall's final three specials before they end their run on the BBC's Doctor Who will be hitting our screens as The Doctor, Yaz (Mandip Gill), and Dan (John Bishop) return for "Legend of the Sea Devils." Following the third special at the end of this year, Russell T. Davies will be taking over once again as showrunner (and bringing along a still-unannounced new Doctor with him). So while rumors and speculation continue to build over what fans can expect (will there be an "all-star" run of specials before Series 14?), two familiar faces are sharing their thoughts on what Davies' return means and what the future looks like. Former showrunner/writer Steven Moffat and writer Mark Gatiss spoke with RadioTimes.com at the Radio Times Covers Party, having nothing but good things to say about the move and how it reflects well on the long-running series.
Moffat on How Davies' Decision Is Proof of Show's "Vibrancy": "Ach, they're dragging him out of the archives!" joked Moffat. "My first thought, 'Well it's brilliant news for Doctor Who.' He's the finest writer working in television. And he's coming back to what is, I suppose, still his biggest hit. So that's just wonderful, wonderful news for 'Doctor Who.' And sort of proof of the vibrancy of that show that he would do that – he'd come back to it. He's got every offer under the sun. And what he's choosing to do is to come back to what all us right-thinking people know is the best show in the history of television."
"If Anyone Can Do It Twice, It's Russell": While admitting upfront that he doesn't "know a thing about it [Davies' 'Doctor Who' plans] which is brilliant," Gatiss expects nothing but big things from Davies. "I know it'll be very big, ambitious stuff. And that's exactly what Russell has always brought to it. Yeah, I think it's delightful. I saw him quite recently, and he looked really, really happy. And I think that's a lovely thing to see. You know, he's bursting with enthusiasm. So that's great."
Moffat Knows Some of What Davies Is Up To- But He's Not Talking: "I'm going to give you no hints. I know a certain number of things. But I don't remember which bits are secret. So I'm terrified to say anything. I know some stuff, but not everything. And I don't have the briefing sheet I used to have – I used to create – which was to tell me what to shut up about. So I'm saying nothing at all." We're thinking that maybe Moffat learned his lesson after spoiling the Weeping Angels in Series 13 "Flux"…
"Legend of the Sea Devils": In a swashbuckling special adventure, the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Dan (John Bishop) come face to fin with one of the Doctor's oldest adversaries: the Sea Devils. Why has legendary pirate queen Madam Ching come searching for a lost treasure? What terrifying forces lurk beneath the oceans of the nineteenth century? And did Yaz really have to dress Dan up as a pirate?
Arthur Lee stars as Ji-Hun and Marlowe Chan-Reeves stars as Ying Ki, with "Legends of the Seas Devils" written by Chibnall and Ella Road, and directed by Haolu Wang.
And as for those rumors of Hugh Grant (Four Wedding and a Funeral, Notting Hill) taking over as The Doctor after Whittaker (as the UK's Mirror and The Guardian reported), the actor himself took to Twitter to set the record straight. "Nothing against Dr W but I'm not," Grant wrote while retweeting The Guardian report. "No idea where the story came from." Here's a look at Grant shattering some folks' dreams (and making some writers look a little silly):

By condemning in advance those who will be voting against him on Sunday as willing accomplices in an international conspiracy, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has cemented his narrative for his upcoming election campaign. He knows that he is not going to survive, but, through a lengthy primetime address heavy on sermon and nationalist zeal, he has ensured that he will remain relevant to a broad cross-section of the electorate easily swayed by emotion and deeply invested in conspiracy theories.
He knows that publicly appealing to the better nature of his opponents is unlikely to win him any votes – yet, by premising his emotive appeal on upholding the dream of an independent Pakistan, he has cleverly framed going against him as akin to going against the founding fathers themselves.
He has also, once again, built himself up as a lone fighter for Pakistan’s cause – the only voice to stand against tyranny when American drones were raining death on Pakistani soil. Now, he tells his supporters, he is being targeted for not kneeling to foreign powers’ demands to surrender Pakistan’s sovereignty.
Shrewd messaging
He has asked why he should be punished for wanting Pakistan to be treated as an equal and not a servile partner while painting his opponents as willing sell-outs because they are so compromised by their corrupt deeds. This is shrewd messaging, built on the trope of a lone warrior fighting against insurmountable odds and it is clear the embattled Prime Minister hopes to turn public sympathies to his side once he goes down in Pakistan’s Parliament.
With his campaign strategy set, one hopes that Prime Minister Khan will let go of his “cable-gate” ploy. He has already made a highly irresponsible mistake by letting slip that the cable originated in America after being advised by all the officials who matter to tread with care.
The National Security Committee, after being apprised of the contents of the diplomatic cable in question, had issued a reasonably worded statement that ought to have mollified the indignant premier and given him a graceful way out of a serious diplomatic mess.
The committee had also assured that Pakistan would raise the matter through a “strong demarche”, “in keeping with diplomatic norms”. This is the sane, measured response one hoped to have initially seen.
It is worth asking why taking the letter to the National Security Committee was not the first thing to have crossed the Foreign Office’s mind. If it was clear that a line had been crossed, why was this unveiled through a prop at a political event? Who advised Prime Minister Khan that this was the best strategy to take? The Prime Minister also owes it to the Pakistani people to reveal who he believes are the internal elements facilitating this alleged conspiracy against the country. It cannot only be the politicians at fault.

Russian troops left the heavily contaminated Chernobyl nuclear site early Friday after returning control to the Ukrainians, authorities said, as eastern parts of the country braced for renewed attacks and Russians blocked another aid mission to the besieged port city of Mariupol. Ukraine's state power company, Energoatom, said the pullout at Chernobyl came after soldiers received “significant doses” of radiation from digging trenches in the forest in the exclusion zone around the closed plant. But there was no independent confirmation of that. The exchange of control happened amid growing indications the Kremlin is using talk of de-escalation in Ukraine as cover to regroup, resupply its forces and redeploy them for a stepped-up offensive in the eastern part of the country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russian withdrawals from the north and center of the country were just a military tactic to build up forces for new powerful attacks in the southeast.
A new round of talks between the countries was scheduled Friday, five weeks into a conflict that has left thousands dead and driven 4 million Ukrainians from the country. “We know their intentions,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address to the nation. “We know that they are moving away from those areas where we hit them in order to focus on other, very important ones where it may be difficult for us.” “There will be battles ahead,” he added. Meanwhile in Mariupol, Russian forces blocked a convoy of 45 buses attempting to evacuate people after the Russian military agreed to a limited cease-fire in the area. Only 631 people were able to get out of the city in private cars, according to the Ukrainian government. Russian forces also seized 14 tons of food and medical supplies in a dozen buses that were trying to make it to Mariupol, Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said. The city has been the scene of some of the worst suffering of the war. Tens of thousands have managed to get out in the past few weeks by way of humanitarian corridors, reducing the population from a prewar 430,000 to an estimated 100,000 by last week, but other relief efforts have been thwarted by continued Russian attacks. The International Atomic Energy Agency said it had been informed by Ukraine that the Russian forces at the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster had transferred control of it in writing to the Ukrainians. The last Russian troops left early Friday, the Ukrainian government agency responsible for the exclusion zone said.
Energoatom gave no details on the condition of the soldiers it said were exposed to radiation and did not say how many were affected. There was no immediate comment from the Kremlin, and the IAEA said it had not been able to confirm the reports of Russian troops receiving high doses. It said it was seeking more information. Russian forces seized the Chernobyl site in the opening stages of the February 24 invasion, raising fears that they would cause damage or disruption that could spread radiation. The workforce at the site oversees the safe storage of spent fuel rods and the concrete-entombed ruins of the reactor that exploded in 1986. Edwin Lyman, a nuclear expert with the US-based Union of Concerned Scientists, said it “seems unlikely” a large number of troops would develop severe radiation illness, but it was impossible to know for sure without more details. He said contaminated material was probably buried or covered with new topsoil during the cleanup of Chernobyl, and some soldiers may have been exposed to a “hot spot” of radiation while digging. Others may have assumed they were at risk too, he said.
Early this week, the Russians said they would significantly scale back military operations in areas around Kyiv and the northern city of Chernihiv to increase trust between the two sides and help negotiations along. But in the Kyiv suburbs, regional governor Oleksandr Palviuk said on social media Thursday that Russian forces shelled Irpin and Makariv and that there were battles around Hostomel. Ukrainian forces counterattacked and some Russian withdrawals around the suburb of Brovary to the east, Pavliuk said. At a Ukrainian military checkpoint outside Kyiv, soldiers and officers said they don't believe Russian forces have given up on the capital. “What does it mean, significantly scaling down combat actions in the Kyiv and Chernihiv areas?” asked Brig. Gen. Valeriy Embakov. “Does it mean there will be 100 missiles instead of 200 missiles launched on Kyiv or something else?” Chernihiv came under attack as well. At least one person was killed and four were wounded in the Russian shelling of a humanitarian convoy of buses sent to Chernihiv to evacuate residents cut off from food, water and other supplies, said Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Lyudmyla Denisova. Elsewhere, Ukraine reported Russian artillery barrages in and around the northeastern city of Kharkiv. Ukraine's emergency services also said the death toll had risen to 20 in a Russian missile strike Tuesday on a government administration building in the southern city of Mykolaiv. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said intelligence indicates Russia is not scaling back its military operations in Ukraine but is instead trying to regroup, resupply its forces and reinforce its offensive in the Donbas. “Russia has repeatedly lied about its intentions,” Stoltenberg said. At the same time, he said, pressure is being kept up on Kyiv and other cities, and “we can expect additional offensive actions bringing even more suffering.”
The Donbas is the predominantly Russian-speaking industrial region where Moscow-backed separatists have been battling Ukrainian forces since 2014. In the past few days, the Kremlin, in a seeming shift in its war aims, said that its “main goal” now is gaining control of the Donbas, which consists of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, including Mariupol. The top rebel leader in Donetsk, Denis Pushilin, issued an order to set up a rival city government for Mariupol, according to Russian state news agencies, in a sign of Russian intent to hold and administer the city. With talks set to resume between Ukraine and Russia via video, there seemed little faith that the two sides would resolve the conflict any time soon. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that conditions weren't yet “ripe” for a cease-fire and that he wasn't ready for a meeting with Zelenskyy until negotiators do more work, Italian Premier Mario Draghi said after a telephone conversation with the Russian leader. As Western officials search for clues about what Russia's next move might be, a top British intelligence official said demoralised Russian soldiers in Ukraine are refusing to carry out orders and sabotaging their equipment and had accidentally shot down their own aircraft. US intelligence officials have concluded that Putin is being misinformed by his advisers about how badly the war is going because they are afraid to tell him the truth. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the US is wrong and that “neither the State Department nor the Pentagon possesses the real information about what is happening in the Kremlin.”

World Court hears Chile vs Bolivia suit on Silala river rights
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
AMSTERDAM, April 1 (Reuters) - Chile asked judges at the World Court on Friday to award it "equitable and reasonable" use of the waters of the Silala river, which runs from Bolivia into Chile, in the latest dispute between the South American neighbours.
Bolivia, which argues that Chile is making use of the waters of the Silala without fair compensation, is due to respond on Monday. The court, formally known as the International Court of Justice, is the United Nations' court for resolving disputes between states.
Chile agent Ximena Fuentes asked judges to "affirm the basic principles of equitable and reasonable utilisation in these times of increasing fresh water scarcity".
The court is holding two weeks of oral arguments in the case, which began in 2016 following moves by Bolivia's then-President Evo Morales to assert more ownership rights over the Silala.
In 2018, the court ruled in Chile's favour in a case brought by Bolivia seeking that Chile enter into negotiations over granting land-locked Bolivia a corridor to the sea.

2021 was the most successful for Admirals in terms of new client applications
As another success story for Admirals performance in 2021, our ongoing substantial investment in development and IT, as well as our expansion into new regions and strategic services added to the portfolio, has allowed for a wider customer base to enter the financial world.
The extreme volatility of 2020 laid a solid foundation for future trading and investment practices among millions of people around the world, and this can clearly be seen in today's ever-growing trading volumes. 2020 was an extreme year for the financial sector relative to the comparatively moderate trading landscape of 2019, reflecting real trends.
“We have kept our costs at 2020’s level while making significant investments in IT-development and infrastructure. We introduced a wide range of new services and products in our portfolio, keeping pace with customer interest in cryptocurrency. These steps, and more, have increased our global presence in the FinTech sector,” said Sergei Bogatenkov, CEO of Admirals.
“With the support of our strategic vision, we are definitely one of the main trendsetters in our segment today. Our position as a quality leader is confirmed by several global awards," added Bogatenkov.
According to him, the results of 2021 are a good growth platform for fulfilling the group's long-term goal - to provide financial freedom to 10 million people globally by 2030. "This is an ambitious plan, but our activities and achievements in recent years clearly show that we are on the right path,” confirmed Admiral's CEO.
Trading levels normalized to record volumes in 2020. The Group's revenue was 37 million euros, compared to 66 million euros in the same period in 2020. The number of new applications increased by 32% compared to 2020. The Group's net profit for the year ended was 0,9 million euros (2020: 20,3 million euros).
A key point of the past year’s performance is our continued contribution to cultural and educational life. For Admirals, financial literacy is one of the cornerstones of their long-term vision, leading to a variety of educational and mentoring programs. Eesti Kontsert and their strategic partner kood.tech in Jõhvi, stand for the sustainability of Estonian culture and programming education.
According to Sergei Bogatenkov, the company has experienced success in its journey to become a financial centre: "And our excellent performance during turbulent times, producing unique results and, most importantly, seeing the relevance of our vision, long-term goals, and strategic plan was undeniable. I am grateful to our global team, partners and investors, with whom we will continue to shake up the financial world and stand up for an innovative, unified, and personal experience in finance.”

Baby boy enters the world with the help of Robbinsville, NJ officer
Police Officer Allison Ricci is our #BlueFriday honoree for this first Friday in April. Adding Officer Ricci to the long list of officers who have been honored on my show for the past seven years.
The #BlueFriday honors started in December 2015 during a live broadcast. Then Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno, a retired county sheriff, challenged me to pick a New Year's Resolution. It's something I never do, so I pushed back. She was relentless, so I agreed that I would resolve to honor law enforcement every week that I was fortunate enough to have a mic. And it started.
It's been a real honor to speak out on behalf of our heroes in Blue and recognize the efforts they make on our behalf every single shift. From helping disadvantaged kids to the community to keeping violent criminals off the streets, law enforcement officers do it all.
Today's honoree is no different. Officer Ricci was a part of a team who were dispatched to a home in Robbinsville with a woman in labor. Upon arrival, it was clear that mom was going to have the kid right then and there. Officer Allison Ricci sprang into action and helped bring Oliver Chase into the world a little after 4 in the morning.
Congrats to the family and to the officers in the Robbinsville Police Department. We appreciate all that you do every day for the rest of us. Remember, there is a thin line between civilization and savagery and that line is Blue.
The post above reflects the thoughts and observations of New Jersey 101.5 talk show host Bill Spadea. Any opinions expressed are Bill's own. Bill Spadea is on the air weekdays from 6 to 10 a.m., talkin’ Jersey, taking your calls at 1-800-283-1015.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Ethiopian journalist Amir Aman Kiyaro, who is accredited to The Associated Press and has been imprisoned for four months without charges, has been released on bail.
Kiyaro, a 30-year-old video journalist, was freed on bail Friday after the country’s Supreme Court upheld the ruling to grant him bail, rejecting a police effort to block his release.
Prosecutors say they are continuing investigations to determine whether or not to press charges against Kiyaro.
His bail was set at 60,000 Ethiopian birr, about $1,170, according to his lawyer.
Kiyaro was detained on Nov. 28 in Addis Ababa under the country’s war-related state of emergency powers.
Kiyaro is accused of “serving the purposes” of what the government has classified as a terrorist group by interviewing its officials, according to reports by Ethiopian state media, which cited federal police. Local journalist Thomas Engida was arrested at the same time and faces similar charges. Ethiopia’s Supreme Court also ruled that Engida should be released on bail.
If the journalists are found guilty of violating Ethiopia’s anti-terrorism law or the state of emergency law, they could face sentences of seven to 15 years behind bars, federal police inspector Tesfaye Olani has told state media.
Despite the granting of bail after four months of police investigation and detention, it still remains uncertain whether prosecutors will proceed to press charges against Kiyaro. The state of emergency was lifted in February as the government cited changing conditions in the deadly conflict between Ethiopian forces and those of the northern Tigray region.
“We are relieved that journalist Amir Aman Kiyaro has been released on bail and reunited with his family,” Julie Pace, executive editor of the AP, said. “At the same time, we are dismayed that he is still being investigated. We urge the Ethiopian authorities in the strongest terms to drop their baseless investigation against Amir, an independent journalist targeted because of his work.”

This article is reprinted by permission from NextAvenue.org.
Whenever my old college roommate Harold calls, I always look forward to a fun, freewheeling conversation. We invariably reminisce about our favorite songs by the Rolling Stones (his favorite band of all time), lament the depressing state of New York professional sports teams, and laugh about the high-jinks of our old university pals, while shaking our heads about how so many sensible young women failed to succumb to our charms and rejected us.
When he called me a few weeks ago, however, I immediately sensed something was amiss. Harold’s demeanor was unusually quiet. When you get to our age, your first instinct is to wonder: Who died?
Sadly, I was right on the mark. “We’ve lost Gary,” Harold said somberly.
Even though he only mentioned a first name, I immediately knew the score. After a respectful silence, I asked him to tell me some details. “That’s all I know,” Harold said.
“You know something,” I said, “Gary loved the Grateful Dead so much that I think he’d approve my quoting ‘Truckin,’ when Bob Weir sings: ‘All a friend could say is, Ain’t it a shame?'”
Then we said our goodbyes and hung up.
Surprised by my reaction
For the next few hours, my mind flashed back to my college years and what Harold liked to call “the carefree days.” I felt numb and drained by the shocking news. But why?
After all, Gary and I had not stayed in touch, and I hadn’t seen the man in some 40 years. Heck, we weren’t even what I’d call close friends while we were all together back at school.
The question that stayed with me was why, then, did the passing of a casual friend affect me so deeply?
“We are affected by someone’s death for many reasons,” explained Dr. Jennifer B. Naidich, a clinical psychologist in private practice in New York City. “We are moved by feelings of nostalgia, personal feelings of vulnerability and natural feelings of grief.”
We grieve for all sorts of reasons as well. “Sometimes, we can’t help but feel guilty,” she added.
Triggering memories of the past
Did I feel guilty that I hadn’t tried to keep the friendship alive? Or, as it was in the 1983 movie “The Big Chill,” was I feeling sad because I couldn’t quite come to terms with such jolting news?
When I told Naidich that I felt sad, even though I hadn’t been in touch with my now-deceased college friend for many decades, she could understand the way I was reacting.
“The loss of a former friend can trigger old feelings of personal connections,” she explained.
The more I thought about it, I had to admit that I was also bothered by the fact that I had not achieved a sense of closure. Perhaps I was reliving some of my guilt over having not been a better friend to someone who had been troubled in college and never got rid of his demons.
I eventually found a measure of solace in concluding that I was hardly the first person who ever experienced these kinds of feelings. That convenient rationalization did suddenly make me feel a little better.
Don’t miss: A early warning of dementia: longer or more frequent napping
The impact of social media
If anything, the age-old process of grieving — over the losses of loved ones, friends and public figures alike — has become a complex sensation in the 21st century because of the pervasive impact of social media.
In the early weeks of 2022, social media followers flocked to the internet to issue soulful posts about the recent passing of all kinds of celebrities, ranging from singers Ronnie Spector and Meat Loaf to comedian Bob Saget and Clark Gillies, who helped lead the NHL’s New York Islanders to four consecutive Stanley Cup championships back in the early 1980s. Other recent deaths that elicited an outpouring on social media include Louie Anderson, Sidney Poitier and Betty White (on Dec. 31, 2021).
Of course, most of us never had the pleasure of meeting any of these famous folks, much less claiming them as friends or even acquaintances.
No matter. Having them surfacing back in the news, on the saddest of occasions, was enough to unleash our happy memories of the Ronettes, immortalized by the hit song “Be My Baby,” and the program, “Full House,” on which Saget played everyone’s favorite TV dad, Danny Tanner; he was also the host of the popular “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”
Naidich understands why so many of us turn to Facebook
FB,
“People grieve en masse,” Naidich pointed out.
As much as anything we are mourning our own loss of innocence. That’s why Beatles fans flock every Dec. 8 to Strawberry Fields in New York’s Central Park, a stone’s throw from where John Lennon lived, and died on that sad Monday night in 1980, to sing “Give Peace a Chance,” “Imagine,” and other Lennon classics.
“We are social beings,” Naidich stressed. “And now, because of social media, people are able to express their grief on a whole other level than ever before. With celebrities like Meat Loaf and Bob Saget, we remember how young we were when we first encountered them.”
The COVID factor
In these difficult COVID-dominated times, grieving takes on a whole new meaning. Many people were unable to attend funerals in person of loved ones because of health and safety concerns. Mourners had to settle for gathering on Zoom
ZM,
Psychologists have developed a new category for this behavior: Post-COVID Stress Disorder.
“COVID has made grieving more complicated than ever,” Naidich observed. “COVID has created [internal] conflicts. [The fact] that we can’t mourn in the traditional way has triggered feelings of anger and guilt.”
And helplessness. When my old friend Harold gave me the details of a memorial service for Gary, I didn’t even bother to write down the information. It was a flippant move on my part or a lack of respect.
See: If COVID-19 taught us anything, it’s to expect the unexpected
I knew I wasn’t going to go because I didn’t want to gather in a crowd. Call it my personal COVID stress disorder.
And hell yes, I felt very guilty, on top of everything else.

- The NZD/USD falls weighed by a firm US dollar and failure to break above 0.7000.
- US Nonfarm Payrolls advance by 431K lower than expected, but the Unemployment Rate falls to 3.6%.
- The Russia-Ukraine conflict extends for the fifth consecutive week.
- NZD/USD Price Forecast: Friday’s price action confirms a double top.
The NZD/USD begins April on the wrong foot, extending Thursday’s losses and probing the 200-day moving average (DMA) at 0.6907 amidst a deteriorating market mood. With the pair trading at 0.6913, it reflects the appetite for the greenback after a solid US employment report, which, even though it was softer than expected, is close to recovering to pre-pandemic levels.
Market mood and positive US jobs report boosts the USD
In the FX space, except for the New Zealand and Canadian Dollar, commodity-linked currencies like the Australian gain vs. the greenback. However, that does not reflect the current state of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as the war extended for the fifth straight week while Ukraine shelled a Russian oil deposit in the city of Belgorod. Kremlin’s spokesman Dimitry Peskov condemned what happened, and he said that it “ isn’t what could be seen as creating conditions conducive to the continuation of talks.”
The US Department of Labour reported the Nonfarm Payrolls report for March. The US economy added just 431K jobs to the economy, lower than the 490K estimated. However, the positive is that Unemployment Rate keeps falling, from 3.8% in February to March’s 3.6%, lower than expectations, while Average Hourly Earnings for March rose by 5.6% YoY, higher than the 5.5% foreseen, further cementing the case for a second rate hike by the Fed.
Later the US ISM Manufacturing PMI, a leading indicator for the industry, fell to 57.1 in March from 58.6 in February, well below the 59 estimations by analysts.
The US Dollar Index, a measurement of the buck’s value vs. a basket of currencies, is rising 0.40% sitting at 98.710, underpinned by high US Treasury yields. The US 10-year benchmark note yield rises ten basis points, at 2.428%, though lower than 2s, which are at 2.456%, inverting the curve for the second time in the week.
NZD/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Friday’s price action extended the NZD/USD losses and it “confirms” that a double-top chart pattern is in place. In fact, at press time, the pair is testing the 200-DMA and earlier reached a daily low at 0.6895, 20 pips short of the double-top neckline, which might send the NZD/USD towards 0.6780, as measured by the neckline to the highest top.
Therefore, the NZD/USD path of least resistance is downwards. The first support would be 0.6900. Once cleared, the next demand zone to challenge would be 0.6875, followed by February 23 daily high at 0.6809 and then 0.6780.

Shirley Manson needs no real introduction. She has experienced both sides of the coin over her long and eminent career, and whether it be in her early post-punk group, becoming a Gen X queen, or even singing an iconic James Bond theme, in terms of career, she’s done it all.
Manson was born in Scotland in 1966 and made her first incursion into music as a backup singer in Goodbye Mr Mackenzie, a lauded alt-rock band, and it gave her the first taste of what it was like to be in a proper outfit, setting her up for all the success to come.
“Well, I have to say, I was in Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie for 10 years,” Manson divulged. “And I received the most spectacular education that I could possibly have ever hoped for in the world of rock and roll. I mean, it was a very rebellious, decadent unit. We really lived the life. And I wouldn’t swap it out for anything, I loved it. I was a very dedicated member to the band. It was my first forays out into the world, out of Edinburgh.”
Manson recalled: “For the first time I got to go to Paris, and I got to go to Copenhagen and Amsterdam and Hamburg and Munich and just all these incredible cities for the first time. We typically misbehaved and just lived the cliched rock and roll life. It was the greatest education I could have ever hoped for.”
Galvanised by this life-changing experience, Manson was now equipped with the adequate tools that she’d need over the next few years to develop her art with the shortlived Goodbye Mr Mackenzie spin-off Angelfish in 1993, before leaving to join Garbage in 1994, which proved to be a life-changing decision.
Famously, Manson moved to America and has never looked back. Since the early days of Garbage, she’s been hailed as one of the definitive female icons of rock, helping to shine a light on society’s ills, and offering us a way out with her lyrical prowess and power of delivery.
Given that Shirley Manson is such a consequential musician, her droves of fans have long wondered what music she’s into, as her back catalogue is an eclectic mix. Well, luckily for us, in July 2021, she appeared on the BBC Radio 2 programme, Tracks Of My Years, and disclosed her ten favourite songs of all time, and they do not disappoint. A mixed bag made up of post-punk, pop, and timeless classics, there’s something here for everyone.
The first track Manson mentions is Jacky’s ‘White Horses’, the glorious theme tune to the TV show of the name. She explained: “The reason why this song is so important to me is because it was the first song where I exercised my own, inverted commas, ‘taste’, in that I fell in love with the TV show White Horses, of which this was the theme tune… with my own pocket money I bought the 7″, which I still have, it’s my most treasured possession.”
Manson continued: “I had a really bad flood about a decade ago, and it destroyed my record collection, but miraculously, this 7″ survived, and it is the sound of my youth. It’s the sound of my mum, it’s the sound of my sisters and the ’70s in Scotland, and just falling in love with music. I want this played at my funeral.”
Elsewhere, Manson picked the iconic 1974 hit ‘Waterloo’ by Swedish legends ABBA. She said: “I was obsessed with the Eurovision Song Contest growing up. Me and my two sisters, we were just so into the competition, and it captured our imagination. And the year, which, I think it was in 1974 when ABBA appeared singing ‘Waterloo’, and me and my sisters just went crazy for them, and I’ve just been obsessed by them ever since, and so have my band. We always reference ABBA’s ability to write – amazing pop writers, and I don’t think they’ve written a bad song.”
Another legendary piece that Manson named was David Bowie’s 1972 anthem ‘Ziggy Stardust’, as she explained: “Well, around the same time as Siouxsie, I discovered David Bowie. I actually had a friend at school called Lisa Cameron, and her father had an amazing record collection. She introduced me to like Roxy Music and Michael Jackson, but the one that captured my imagination was Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie. For the same reasons that I list about Siouxsie Sioux, I fell in love with David Bowie. “
Of Bowie’s game-changing style, Manson continued: “This was a person that I was being told was male, but he was wearing makeup and high heels and just presented himself in an entirely different way to the way I had learnt that men were supposed to present themselves. I found it perplexing, and he seemed like an alien, and I’ve loved him ever since. Of course, Ziggy Stardust is one of my Desert Island Discs, I would take that away with me, it’s sort of the soundtrack to my life in a way. I know that record inside out, every word, every phrase, every riff, everything about it. It’s magic.”
A brilliant list, it shines a light on every side of Shirley Manson’s colourful personality. Following the tracks here, you clearly understand how Manson developed as a musician and person, and they mark out a course through the adventure that has been her life.

George Harrison first met Eric Clapton when The Yardbirds supported The Beatles, and a few years later, they became inseparable. The pair were kindred spirits, with Harrison even penning a song as a “tribute” to his close friend.
Perhaps the greatest reflection of the bond between the two is the fact that Harrison even brought Clapton into the Fab Four’s inner circle in a bid to smooth the inner band tension. It was a period fraught with bitterness, a time when Harrison was close to quitting the group and needed as much moral support as possible. Slowhand famously worked with The Beatles on ‘Here Comes The Sun’ and ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’, which helped get the best out of Harrison.
When Harrison finally decided to pull the trigger and briefly depart The Beatles, it was even mooted by the rest of the band that Clapton should be his replacement. However, he’d swiftly returned to the fold before they even had time to approach him.
The White Album was a turning point for Harrison as a songwriter, as John Lennon later admitted: “There was an embarrassing period when George’s songs weren’t that good and nobody wanted to say anything.” Meanwhile, Paul McCartney agreed and said: “I thought until this album that George’s songs weren’t that good.”
Harrison had begun to exude infectious confidence, and the playful ‘Savoy Truffle’ is an example of his growth, which he later revealed was written as a “tribute” to Eric Clapton.
Rather than being an ode to their friendship, it was, in fact, a joke about Clapton’s dental problems, which was preventing him from giving his sweet tooth exactly what it was craving. “‘Savoy Truffle’ is a funny one written whilst hanging out with Eric Clapton in the ’60s. At that time he had a lot of cavities in his teeth and needed dental work. He always had a toothache but he ate a lot of chocolates – he couldn’t resist them, and once he saw a box he had to eat them all,” Harrison explained in 1980
He continued. “He was over at my house, and I had a box of Good News chocolates on the table and wrote the song from the names inside the lid. I got stuck with the two bridges for a while and Derek Taylor wrote some of the words in the middle – ‘You know that what you eat you are’.”
In a separate interview, Harrison elaborated on the reasoning for penning the track and explained: “So as a tribute I wrote, ‘You’ll have to have them all pulled out after the Savoy Truffle’. The truffle was some kind of sweet, just like all the rest – cream tangerine, ginger sling – just candy, to tease Eric”.
Admittedly, the light-hearted effort wasn’t Harrison’s finest moment, but it’s hard not to raise a smile when listening to the exuberant ‘Savoy Truffle’. The guitarist writing it as an excuse to poke fun at the expense of Eric Clapton is yet another further reason to grin like a Cheshire cat.

The problem with “Riyasat e Madina” is that it was violent and followed by the “fitna”. Alas for Imran Khan, known as “Im the dim” — never a good student of history (to the extent he thinks Japan and Germany share a border) — this history lesson might have avoided him unnecessary hyperbole. The original Riyasat e Madina wasn’t such an easy place to navigate. Violent rebellions were common and three of the four Rashidun caliphs were violently killed off — Umar, Uthman and Ali — and the period was followed by two openly destructive civil wars, the first and second fitna.
Now Imran never really was a smart cookie, but the string of incredibly good luck that has accompanied him might have led to some messianic delusions. Consider this: despite all the scandals surrounding him, he was made the captain of the Pakistan team. It doesn’t help that your uncle ‘Tiger’ Niazi is responsible for the East Pakistan debacle of 1971, and yet, in spite of that, you ‘avenge’ the defeat exactly 20 years later by winning the World Cup.
It doesn’t matter that your party keeps scoring abysmally low percentage points — by a seeming miracle you win enough seats to become the prime minister ultimately. I mean who cares about the inconvenient fact that the Army majorly manipulated the election? After all, what’re you more likely to believe? That the Army helped you or God helped you? Of course, it’s easy in the Pakistani context to conflate the two because the Army plays God, but still? You see where this is going don’t you? Bit like a sequel to Monty Python’s “Life of Brian”. Brian and Imran kind of rhyme a bit, don’t they?

So where does Imran’s speech leave us? For starters, he backed off from naming his creator (the Army) as his destroyer. Chickening out after all comes very easily to the Niazi clan. But to chicken out during the middle of a speech? He named America as having engineered his downfall and then retracted mid-sentence. Consider this transcript: “America has — oh, not America but a foreign country I can’t name. I mean from a foreign country, we received a message.” He then went on to say, “The letter stated that the no-confidence motion was being tabled even before it was filed, which means the Opposition was in contact with them,” claiming that it was an “official letter” that was communicated to the Ambassador of Pakistan in Washington, and that this country was upset that he had visited Moscow.
Now conspiracy theories are de rigueur in Pakistan. Virtually everything is a foreign conspiracy if you go by what the streets of Lahore and Rawalpindi discuss. But unlike Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto who handled their respective ousters with dignity, we now have the spectacle of Pakistan’s prime minister mumbling off street level conspiracy theories as official explanations. The level of cringe this induced across Pakistan is quite entertaining to watch — that is for everybody who’s not a PTI supporter.
So is Imran Khan actually deluded or is he playing a smart game? I’d personally be inclined towards the latter. Is this a guy with exactly zero self respect who doesn’t know the difference between people laughing at him or people laughing with him? Or is he a guy who plays dumb to lull his opponents into a false sense of security? I’d again say the latter. Remember he’s been extraordinarily loyal to the Army, repeatedly expressing his loyalty to the institution. If the fracas over the DG ISI is to be considered, that can be put down to the factions and silos within the Army that Imran tried to play but backed off when he realised he shouldn’t go as far as Nawaz Sharif did with Musharraf in 1999.
He’s almost certainly aware that his luck has run out but he’s not playing for today. In his mind, at least, he’s playing for tomorrow: where an Army with few other alternatives will reinstate him for good behaviour. After all, by facing a parliamentary motion of no confidence, he offers himself up as Christ did to absolve mankind of all sins. Indeed, a formal loss in parliament would largely absolve the Army of any perceived manipulation — paving the way for his resurrection.
The question now is what happens from here? Has Imran transitioned from Riyasat e Madina to the Kingdom of Christ? Is he a Claudius feigning a feeble mind under a tyrannical Caligula only to emerge as a wise ruler later? Somehow I doubt it — but I’m quite sure Imran doesn’t doubt it, not one bit.

Russia to bypass sanctions with India as Lavrov hails 'friend' in New Delhi
Russia have said they will increase their use of non-Western currencies with countries such as India after praising their interpretation of the situation in Ukraine.
US ‘has Europe under their control’ says Sergei Lavrov
Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov praised India for not taking a “one-sided view” of the war in Ukraine, before paying homage to the ‘strategic partnership’ between the two nations. As relations between Russia and Western countries continues to worsen during the invasion of Ukraine, Lavrov spoke of common ground with India and said the two nations “always respect each other’s interests”.
Speaking during a visit to India on Friday, Lavrov said: “The relations [with India] are a strategic partnership developed over many decades, an especially privileged partnership as our Indian friends called it some time ago.
“This was the basis on which we have been promoting our cooperation in all areas: economy, military, technical, humanitarian, investment and in many other fields.
“I believe that Indian foreign policy is characterised by independence and the concentration on real, legitimate national interests.
“The same policy basis exists in the Russian federation, and this makes us, as big countries, good friends and old partners, and an important part of the international relations. We always respect each other’s interests.”
Other than China, India remains one of the only countries not to openly condemn what Russia has called a “special military operation” in Ukraine.
Lavrov visited the Indian capital of New Delhi to meet his Indian counterpart, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar this week.
In a swipe at the Western world, Lavrov heralded India’s view of the situation in Ukraine, applauding their desire to look at the "entirety of facts and not just in a one-sided way".
He added: "I have no doubt that a way would be (found) to bypass the artificial impediments which illegal unilateral sanctions by the West create. This relates also to the area of military-technical cooperation."

India has continued to by millions of barrels of crude oil from Russia as European countries discuss ways of weening off their use.
The Asian country has been purchasing the barrels at a discount rate since the war in Ukraine began, arguing that the move is beneficial for its citizens.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told CNBC-TV18 that India has no intention of discontinuing buying these barrels.
She said: "I would put my country's national interests first and I would put my energy security first. Why should I not buy it? I need it for my people."
The country has also agreed to buy sunflower oil at record high prices from Russia after supply from Ukraine came to a halt.

Russia is the number one supplier of defence equipment to India and Lavrov announced that the two nations would use a rupee-rouble mechanism to trade with each other, “bypassing” other currencies.
The Russian foreign minister said their central bank had already established a system for financial interaction and that India had developed a similar system.
Lavrov said: "It is absolutely clear that more and more transactions would be done through this system using national currencies, bypassing dollar, euro and other currencies.”
He also met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to brief him on the situation in Ukraine, after Modi called for “an early cessation of violence” in the region.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For one educator, creating strong reading habits among her students has become her passion. Academic Specialist Nancy Green, who teaches at Grand River Academy in Livonia, Mich., said when she was growing up, nobody really introduced her to reading.
"It wasn't until I was working on my undergrad (degree). I had two dynamic female professors that just opened my eyes," she said. "I made it my quest right from the start of my teaching career to really work with kids and build a reading program like no other."
Green, who is involved with intervention services at the school, one of 98 in the National Heritage Academies (NHA) network, just wants her students to read. "I know the research shows, reading is the root of it all. If you can be a successful reader, you have got the world in your hands."
This is the main reason Green organized a two-week March is Reading Month challenge, where 484 scholars tracked 135,529 minutes of reading, nearly 2,259 hours. Those students then turned their love of reading into funds, donated by family and friends, that will help them buy more books or participate in other special reading programs.
Across the country, students in Karsten Dommermuth's kindergarten class at Landmark Academy at Reunion in Commerce City, Co., practiced their reading skills with a special visitor on March 30. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis reversed roles having students read their favorite book to him.
Beginning in kindergarten, reading instruction focuses on creating building blocks – phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency, Dommermuth said, adding she hopes the reading experiences students have in her class help them engage in the joys of reading. "It plays an integral role in shaping their school life as well as at home."
Establishing a strong reading foundation is a key component NHA teachers use with students.
Cassie Blanchard is considered to be the unofficial book club president of Vanguard Charter Academy, Wyoming, Mich. If a scholar is looking for a book suggestion, the fourth-grade teacher, working at Vanguard since 2004, is the person to ask. If a student doesn't like reading, Blanchard will find a book that gets them hooked. Even if a scholar has given up on a book, she encourages them to push forward and find another author or genre that forges a lasting connection.
"I usually have kids who come back years later, who are either still in the building or even high school students who will say, 'Hey, I hated to read until I was in your class, and you got me hooked," Blanchard said. "That, to me, is way better than test scores."
About National Heritage Academies:
National Heritage Academies (NHA) is a network of 98 tuition-free, public charter schools across nine states, serving more than 60,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. For more information, visit nhaschools.com.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (KSTU) — A Delta flight leaving from the Salt Lake City International Airport had to make an emergency landing after the plane's windshield shattered while in the air on Thursday.
A passenger on the plane, Dr. Kirk Knowlton, snapped a picture of the cracked windshield.
In a tweet, Knowlton said that during the flight, it was announced the plane would need to make an emergency landing in Denver because of the window.
The plane was headed to Washington D.C. before it had to land. Delta Air Lines said there were 198 passengers on the flight.
Knowlton said the crew told passengers the shattered window happened spontaneously.
The plane was able to safely land in Denver and passengers were able to catch another flight.
Knowlton acknowledged that the Delta crew was able to handle the situation "very nicely."
Representatives from Delta Air Lines released a statement in regard to the incident:
"Delta flight 760 from Salt Lake City to Washington D.C. experienced a maintenance issue mid-flight. Out of an abundance of caution, the flight crew diverted into Denver and the plane landed routinely. Our team worked quickly to accommodate customers on a new plane, and we sincerely apologize for the delay and inconvenience to their travel plans."

Blowouts like these defined the women’s games. This is because in women’s basketball, there is a huge disparity in the funding, talent and coaching in teams, even at the highest level. Though the NCAA’s “performance-based” formula for disbursing $160 million for the men’s game increases incentive for athletic programs to invest in men’s basketball, there is no equivalent incentive for women’s. In addition, it has ignored the skyrocketing interest in women’s basketball and missed out on its success.
The NCAA must adopt financial investment and revenue practices that reflect the popularity of women’s basketball to elevate its respect to that held for the men’s.

Local carriers may sue govt on multiple entry points to foreign carriers
•Investor in national carrier to deposit $200b with CBN
Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) has threatened to sue the Federal Government over continued multiple entries granted to foreign airlines.
The body also declared that for any foreign airline or investors to invest in the new national carrier, it must deposit at least $200 billion with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to be sure of their seriousness.
This is as the Federal Government has said that the multiple entries to airlines was a good economics to the foreign airlines, but regretted that it put pressure on the foreign exchange for Nigeria.
Speaking at the Q1 2022 Breakfast Business Meeting organised by the Aviation Round Table (ART) with the theme: ‘Economic Implications of Multiple Entry Points by Foreign Airlines Into Nigeria,” Alhaji Yunusa Abdulmunaf, President of AON, said the body has decided to challenge the government in the court of law of the current policy on multiple entries to airlines is not addressed.
Abdulmunaf, who was represented at the occasion by Mr. Allen Onyema, the Vice President of AON, said that the body would in the next few days meet with Sen. Hadi Sirika, the Minister of Aviation to deliberate on the issue.
He expressed confidence that the government would address the issue in the next 21 days, but said the body was not giving the government an ultimatum.
The AON President lamented that billions of naira are being lost annually to multiple designations granted the foreign carriers and warned that if the policy continued unabated, the domestic airlines would die, while the foreign airlines would eventually take over the domestic market.
He insisted that the multiple designations is one of the greatest disservice to the Nigerian economy and its people.
The AON said: “All the foreign airlines that come into Nigeria, everyday the Central Bank Govenor cries about the amount of money being repatriated abroad.
We are talking about the scarcity of foreign exchange in the country, but the foreign airlines are removing billions of dollars every year from this country, and airlines in Nigerians have been hassled with lots of requests on how to repatriate dollars into the system. Where am I going to get it from?
“Yet we are creating more avenues for these things to happen by giving multiple destinations to these foreign airlines. All the foreign airlines that come to this country, maybe about 20 or 30 of them have not been able to employ more than 150,000 Nigerians.
“We keep on badmouthing Nigerian airlines, forgetting that we are the architects of our own undoing. Air Peace alone employs over 4,000 people directly. It would take foreign airlines another 60 years to generate 4,000 jobs. Yet Air Peace has to beg to be given rights to build a hangar in its own country, it has no land in its own country. No land for its assets and passengers. It didn’t start today. ”
Besides, Sirika has said multiple entries approval to foreign airlines is a capital flight against the country.
He said that this prevents the indigenous airlines from generating much revenues, rather grows the economics of foreign airlines.
“Technically, it creates capital flight from Nigeria,” he said.
Also, Dr. Gabriel Olowo, the President of ART, decried that foreign airlines are gradually taking over the domestic market with continuous approvals for multiple entries for foreign airlines.
“The damages of multiple entries into Nigeria are huge. Britain for instance has 21 flights into Nigeria weekly. European Unions have 43 frequencies every week into Nigeria. Also the Middle East has 56 flights weekly into multiple entries into Nigeria.
“As it is today, we have zero participation in the international sector as an industry and the domestic sector is eroded through multiple entries into Nigeria.”

No one knows better than Alex Marquez what his brother Marc has been through in the past two years since his injury in Jerez. A roller coaster of ups and downs in his physical condition, which saw a further chapter two Sundays ago in Indonesia, when he suffered a heavy accident in the Warm-Up and his double vision problems (diplopia) returned.
Alex said he had never seen Marc so bad, before reassuring everyone, saying that at the moment, however, he is in a good mood.
“The first few days, as is normal, he was very down. I have never seen him so down, but luckily there are improvements. Now he feels very good. This morning, when I saw that they were changing the program, I did a joke. I told him ‘you still have one day to get in shape and come’, just to cheer him up a little. It’s something that feels like an improvement and that’s a really good thing mentally, “he said.
The truth is that Marc Marquez’s situation is evolving at great speed and the Repsol Honda Team isn’t even ruling out a comeback next weekend in Austin.
“I hope to see him again very soon, because he is my brother and I want to see him on the track. But also for the Honda riders it is very nice to always have him on the track and push the bikes to the limit,” said the Cervera rider.
Marc Marquez will be replaced this weekend in Argentina by Honda test driver Stefan Bradl, but for the moment the team hasn’t ruled out that the Catalan may surprise his return to Texas.
Honda’s problems are escalating and, after Marc’s KO, Takaaki Nakagami has now tested positive for COVID, so he won’t be in Termas and is in serious doubt for Austin, where LCR should look for a replacement, which could become a problem for HRC if even Marc will not be able to make his return.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — An Austin man’s evening bike ride almost turned deadly, as shown in a video of a car hitting the cyclist in front of witnesses and then speeding off.
The video captured by a bystander shows cyclist Nick Gardiner riding in the street when a car appearing to change lanes hits him and drives off. He said it happened a little before 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Austin Police said the incident occurred near the 700 block of W. Riverside Drive.
WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO BELOW
You can see Gardiner roll over almost three times after impact before he makes his way to the sidewalk and collapses on a grassy area.
In the video, bystanders run by to attend to the cyclist and make sure he is OK. The hit and run was captured on camera by Scott Thigpen, who can be seen calling 911 in the video.
Gardiner said the driver was “harassing” him for about half a mile. He said at one point, the driver was rolling down his window to yell at Gardiner.
“It was a clear-cut case of road rage,” he said. “No reasonable person would do that.”
Gardiner told KXAN he filed a police report with the Austin Police Department in hopes of finding the driver. He described the car as a white coupe and guesses it is an early 2000s model of a Honda Accord.
Austin Police said the case is being investigated as aggravated assault with a motor vehicle.
The cyclist said he does not have any broken bones but has other injuries, including a severe rash from impact with the road, a golf ball-sized lump on his knee, bruising on his palm and other cuts.
“I got lucky. If it went any other way, I don’t think I’d be talking to you right now,” he said.
According to Texas bicycle laws, all bicyclists must ride alongside streets and roadways, as opposed to sidewalks, when a designated bike line is unavailable.
“It’s not going to stop me from cycling. It’s just going to stop me from cycling on the roads here. I think I’m gonna be trying to go somewhere where cars can’t be, and I think that’s the responsibility of the City of Austin to maintain that,” Gardiner said. “To provide us with an opportunity to not get murdered.”

This is where England captain Harry Kane dreams of lifting the World Cup trophy aloft in December. Or, indeed, Gareth Bale for Wales and Andy Robertson for Scotland.
Today Mirror Online were allowed access to the stadium which will host the World Cup final. I was even able to sit in “Changing Room A” which one of the finalists will use. It's like a 5* hotel. But one with a a giant state of the art jacuzzi has been installed.
The players will be able to share it and it reminded me of those famous old baths at the old Wembley which the FA got rid of, for health reasons, decades ago.
The huge stadium sits in the middle of nowhere in the brand new city of Lusail - which has been built since Qatar won the tournament way back in 2010. From the outside it rises like a giant bathtub surrounded by huge car parks and dozens and dozens of cranes working on construction projects as far as the eye can see.
But once inside what an amazing stadium. The tunnel area is huge where both teams will wait before their respective national anthems. As well as the changing rooms there is a spacious area for managers, like Gareth Southgate, with their own private toilet facilities. Walking onto the pitch you could only imagine the roar of 80,000 fans at the final in nine months time.
The stadium in Lusail is about ten miles north of the capital Doha but it can be reached on the metro in less than half an hour. They have thought of everything. There are separate areas for the "Ball Kids Holding Room," "Mascot Dressing Room" and one for "Goal Line Storage." And there is even one called: “Awards Ceremony Waiting Room.”
HAVE YOUR SAY! Can England win the 2022 World Cup? Let us know in the comments section
There are several prayer rooms and separate changing facilities for male and female match officials. The behind the scenes areas are huge. I took a lift up to the Very Very Important People (VVIP) lounges where the chairs and sofas are so luxurious they have to be seen to be believed. Already teams of ground staff are busy working on the pitch to make sure it is of the highest standard.
There are lights stretched across the grass to try and ensure it grows at exactly the right speed and temperature. Qatar Tourism Chief Operating Office Berthold Trenkel invited Mirror Online for coffee earlier today. He could barely contain his excitement as the tournaments gets ever closer after so many years of planning. He said: “All England fans are welcome and we can’t wait for the tournament to start.”
Wales and Scotland could also still make it if they win the play-off. But which ever countries make it to the final here on December 18th they will certainly be playing in one of the finest stadiums on the planet. One senior world cup organising committee executive said: “The other stadiums are amazing but this is the ‘jewel in the crown’ and is perfect to host a World Cup Final.”

CLEVELAND (AP) — An Ohio appeals court has upheld a $25 million judgment for a business that successfully claimed it was libeled by Oberlin College in the aftermath of a shoplifting incident that roiled the historic liberal arts school and music conservatory's campus outside Cleveland.
The 9th District Court of Appeals in Akron on Thursday rejected all of Oberlin College's claims and upheld a judge's ruling that attorneys for the owners of Gibson's Bakery and Food Mart should receive $6.3 million in legal fees from the school.
The three judge panel also agreed with Lorain County Judge John Miraldi's decision rejecting Oberlin College's motion for a new trial trial and denied the store owners' claim that the damage awards did not sufficiently punish the school.
In a statement, Oberlin College officials said they were disappointed by the ruling. They said they were reviewing the court's 50-page opinion “carefully as we evaluate our options and determine next steps.” Officials acknowledged that issues raised by the case have been challenging “not only for the parties involved in the lawsuit, but for the entire Oberlin community.”
Store owners Allyn Gibson and his son, David Gibson, sued Oberlin College in November 2017 claiming they had been libeled by the school and their business had been harmed. The lawsuit was filed a year after David Gibson's son, also named Allyn, chased and tackled a Black male student he suspected of having stolen a bottle of wine. Two Black female students who were with the male student tried to intervene. All three were arrested and later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges.
The arrests triggered protests outside Gibson's Bakery where flyers were handed out, some by by an Oberlin College vice president and dean of students, accusing the Gibsons of being racist. A Student Senate resolution condemning the Gibsons was emailed to all students and was posted in a display case at school's student center, where it remained for a year. Oberlin College officials ordered its campus food provider to stop buying bakery items from Gibson's.
A Lorain County jury awarded the Gibsons $44 million in compensatory and punitive damages in June 2019 after a five week trial. Miraldi, the Lorain County judge, later reduced the jury award to $25 million.
David Gibson died in November 2019 at age 65. Allyn Gibson died in February. He was 93.

Canadian fast-food breakfast sandwiches ranked from worst to best
FEATURED ON THE DISHED GUIDE
Canada’s breakfast offerings are almost endless when it comes to the best on-the-go options, but there’s always one that takes the cake and is simply the best.
We’re comparing the breakfast sandwich offerings at six different nationwide joints to determine once and for all who has the supreme sandwich.
Here are some of Canada’s best breakfast sandwiches ranked from worst to best.
6. Starbucks
Since their breakfast sandwiches come from a fridge before they’re toasted in an oven, they definitely aren’t the most delicious option.
While their sausage, cheddar, and egg sandwich will do in a pinch, and we applaud their vegetarian options – it’s not enough to overcome their less-than-fresh taste.
5. Subway
View this post on Instagram
Microwaved eggs just don’t taste the same as ones fried on a grill. Plus, the Subway sandwich bread is so iconically tied to their lettuce-filled lunchtime sandwiches that its appearance before noon is off-putting. Even if you opt for the English muffin, the Subway cheese doesn’t have enough heft for the morning.
For those reasons, we’re ranking Subway breakfast sandwiches last.
4. Burger King
View this post on Instagram
The reason why anyone would go to Burger King is probably related to tasty flame-grilled burgers.
Their options are filling, like the Fully Loaded Croissan’wich, but BK just doesn’t have the craveability that other fast-food places have.
3. A&W
View this post on Instagram
Whether you get it on an English muffin or a sesame-seed bun, the A&W breakfast sandwiches are bomb. They’re also among the greasiest and saltiest, which is perhaps why we love them.
When you start your day with a Sausage and Egger, you can’t really go wrong.
2. Tim Horton’s
Plant-based anything can be intimidating for some, but honestly, Tim’s hit the nail on the head with this one. If you’re used to your typical sausage breakfast sandwich, then you would have no issue munching down on this one.
1. McDonald’s
View this post on Instagram
Forget your classic Egg McMuffin; the sweet-and-savoury McGriddle is FINALLY back across Canada, and, of course, it comes in first place.
You can’t go wrong with a syrup-filled pancake, egg and cheese sandwich. It’s that sweet combination that makes it the best breakfast option on the market.

An NPR investigation has found that a federal program intended to help low-income student loan borrowers, and eventually offer them debt cancellation, has failed to live up to its promise.
More than 9 million borrowers are currently enrolled in income-driven repayment (IDR) plans, which are designed to help people who cannot afford to make large monthly payments. The plans promise loan cancellation after 20-25 years. But documents obtained by NPR offer striking evidence that these plans have been badly mismanaged by loan servicers and the U.S. Department of Education.
In all, these records paint a breathtaking picture of IDR's failure, and cast a shadow over the federal student loan program. While the Biden administration did not make these problems, it must now address them as it weighs restarting repayment after a two-year pandemic pause.
In response to NPR's request for comment, an Education Department spokesperson said on Friday, "Borrowers place their trust in us to make sure these plans work the way they were intended to, and we intend to honor that trust. We are aware of historical issues with prior processes that had undermined accurate tracking of eligible payments. The current situation is unacceptable and we are committed to addressing those issues."
Here are three takeaways from NPR's investigation, which you can read in its entirety here:
1. Some servicers had no idea when borrowers qualified for forgiveness.
IDR plans offer borrowers a manageable monthly payment (as low as $0) as well as loan cancellation after 20-25 years of qualifying payments. It's the servicer's job to count how many payments a borrower has made and then notify them when they qualify for loan cancellation.
But a previously unreleased 2016 review of servicers, conducted by the Education Department's office of Federal Student Aid, found that three servicers – PHEAA, CornerStone and MOHELA – did "not have an IDR forgiveness payment counter" to track borrowers' progress toward cancellation.
Borrowers with accounts at PHEAA, for example, would have had to request a manual count of past payments to gauge their eligibility for cancellation.
This means some servicers didn't know if borrowers qualified for cancellation unless they were asked, by borrowers, to do a labor-intensive records review.
2. Mismanagement of IDR is especially harmful for borrowers with the lowest incomes.
Under IDR, a monthly payment of $0 for a borrower earning less than 150% of the federal poverty line should still count toward loan cancellation. But in the same 2016 review, officials warned, "zero ($0.00) IDR payments that qualify for forgiveness are not adequately tracked."
Nearly half of all IDR borrowers are making $0 monthly payments, according to a 2019 analysis by the Center for American Progress (CAP). Not adequately tracking those payments could delay or derail millions of the lowest-income borrowers on their way to loan cancellation.
3. Transferring borrowers between servicers is a game of telephone.
According to the documents obtained by NPR, moving borrower accounts is incredibly fraught. Borrowers' information is transferred via what's known as an EA27 file, and every time a file is transferred, data and context can be lost, and mistakes made. In fact, earlier versions of the EA27 didn't even include payment counts for certain IDR plans.
Now consider that nearly every borrower who could be eligible for cancellation under IDR in the next few years has had their accounts transferred at least once, when the federal government transitioned from one loan servicer to many. That means their current records, including the count of their progress toward cancellation, could be built on the sand of erroneous data.

BERNE, Ind. (AP) — A toddler who went missing in rural northeastern Indiana was pronounced dead after a relative found him in a posthole, police said.
The relative discovered the missing boy around noon Wednesday head down in a hole 39 inches (1 meter) deep that contained about 10 inches (25.4 centimeters) of water, the Adams County Sheriff’s Office said.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Butler fired coach LaVall Jordan on Friday after two straight losing seasons and a second consecutive finish near the bottom of the Big East Conference.
The Bulldogs were 14-19 this season and tied for ninth in the Big East at 6-14.
“After a thorough evaluation, I have come to the decision that a change in the leadership of our men’s basketball program is needed,” athletic director Barry Collier said. “These decisions are never easy, but are incredibly more difficult when it impacts a high-character Bulldog who has represented our university so well for many years.”
Jordan played for the Bulldogs from 1998-2001, and Collier was his coach his first three years. Jordan was a starting guard his last two seasons, earning all-conference honors, and he made four coaching stops over a decade before Collier hired him as head coach in 2017.
The Bulldogs played in the 2018 NCAA Tournament and were expected to make it back in 2020 before the tournament was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jordan was unable to return the Bulldogs to the unprecedented heights achieved under Brad Stevens, who led the team to surprise appearances in the 2010 and 2011 national championship games when the school was in the Horizon League.
Jordan had just one winning record in Big East play, and the Bulldogs lost six of their last seven games. Seven of their Big East regular-season losses this season were by 15 points or more, including a 40-point road defeat to a Villanova team reached this weekend's Final Four.
Jordan is only the second Butler men's basketball coach to get fired in nearly a century. The other was Joe Sexson, who was let go in 1989.

To the editor:
In the lead-up to the 2020 election, I received three ballot applications.
One from a state I lived in over three years ago, one for a former resident who had not lived here for over five years, and my own. I could have easily voted three times and there is nothing systematically that would have caught this.
This was not an isolated incident. Nationally, 11 states mailed millions of ballot applications to addresses that had not requested them. This is not to be confused with absentee ballots where registered voters request an absentee ballot application. These states dumped millions of applications into the public not knowing whether they had moved or were deceased.
How did this happen? Politicians used COVID-19 as an excuse for ignoring state election laws, thus changing the rules in the middle of an election. Michigan alone sent over 7 million unrequested applications.
There was widespread fraud across the country. Duplicate registrations, illegal drop boxes, deceased, ineligible voters, votes exceeding registered voters – all documented in a number of swing states. Despite this, there is no evidence that there was sufficient fraud to change the results. [Joe] Biden won the election. But it was not secure!
A number of states are passing voter integrity laws to prevent this chaos. Most of them are simply codifying state laws that currently exist. Campaigning beyond 150 feet of a polling place, banning ballot harvesting and most notable – requiring voter ID.
Major polls consistently show more than half the country supports voter ID. Without voter ID, it is nearly impossible to catch voter fraud when over 70 million mail-in ballots are cast.
The left has launched an all-out assault on voter integrity, claiming minority suppression. Yet there is simply no statistical data to support this. Georgia voting laws have come under attack, yet it is easier to vote, and they have higher minority turnout than many “blue” states.
Bottom line is that claims of voter suppression resulting from voter integrity laws are just plain wrong.
In the months following the 2020 election, [former President] Trump continues to claim he won the election. Politicians can say whatever they want but the real problem is that a large portion of his base believes it. This is not new ground.
[Former Secretary of State Hillary] Clinton continues to claim that the 2016 election was not on the level. Stacey Abrams, a candidate for governor in Georgia in 2018, still refuses to concede that she lost.
Congressman John Lewis, a deceased civil rights leader for whom the Democrats named their attempt to nationalize states voting rights, refused to attend both the 2000 and 2016 inaugurations, calling both presidents illegitimate. Bitter and divisive!
We just can’t has this type of divisiveness and doubt around our elections. If a large portion of our country believes our elections are rigged, we become a Third World country. Our faith in our government breaks down.
There cannot be any doubt that our leaders are duly elected. That is why we must have laws that ensure voter integrity. And we must have voter ID.

Edy “Bozambo” Ongaro and the pro-Russian left
“His martyrdom serves to break the castle of lies of this war, but above all to relaunch the anti-fascist and internationalist struggle. Edy’s sacrifice shows the strength of the proletariat that will be able to lead to the triumph of communism. We salute you fellow partisan with the motto that was so dear to you: Death to fascism, freedom to the People. “Thus the Collective Red Star – Northeast paid tribute to Edy Ongaro, known as “Bozambo”, a Venetian militiaman who died at the age of 46 after having spent the last seven fighting in the Donbass, on the side of the Russians. “He was in the trenches with other soldiers when a hand grenade dropped by the enemy fell. Edy threw himself on the bomb making a barrier with his body. He heroically sacrificed himself to save the lives of his companions “, specifies the memory entrusted to social media.
Who was Edy “Bozambo” Ongaro
Because Putin also likes the left
The Ongaro story is the tip of the iceberg that the prevailing narrative on the war in Ukraine is not adequately taking into account. Maybe without reaching the levels of “Bozambo”, who took up arms, but several Italians on the left feel closer to Putin than to Zelenskyeven if the Russian “tsar” has notoriously had more solid relations with the Italian right, given the close friendship with Silvio Berlusconi and the publicly expressed support from Matteo Salvini, albeit in a very different phase from the current one. Furthermore, on an international level, Putin is the point of reference for the new right, from that of Trump in America to that of Orban in Hungary. And yet, several left-wing Italians still look sympathetically at the Kremlin today. The reasons for this feeling are many, starting from the nostalgia for a past that obviously not everyone is relegated to the book of memories. When Ongaro’s comrades celebrate the militiaman who has dedicated “his whole life to defending the weak and fighting the oppressors” they resort to a symbolic register that today’s left really seems to have abandoned. The obvious reference is to the phase of opposing blocs, of which Putin is certainly an heir, having served in the ranks of the Kgb and therefore in the deepest ganglia of Soviet power. If after the fall of the Berlin wall and the dissolution of the USSR it was thought that we had entered a post-ideological era, the underlying problems have remained the same, starting with the social injustices that fuel the class struggle. Not coincidentally, they are instances that come from forces that place themselves “To the left of the Democratic Party”not at all to keep up with the positions taken by the party of Read.
Anti-Americanism as a glue
Among the positions in the crosshairs is the strong Atlanticist vocation, which some translate as subservience to American interests and the ever-green Yankee imperialism. At a time when there is a strong risk of one military opposition between Putin and NATOcriticisms of the Atlantic alliance are received as blasphemies in the church, yet there would be more than one reason to reconsider US hegemony over international politics, Biden’s infamous phrases about a possible regime change in Russia and also the failures of international missions, up to Afghanistan. The very motivation of such military missions has been seriously questioned by intellectuals who make no secret of their leftist identity, such as Michele Santoro And Alessandro Orsini, very explicit in underlining the points of contact between Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and similar behavior by the US presidents. This does not mean giving Putin right, but simply recognizing that there are similar wrongs also against the West and that, never as in this case, two wrongs do not make a right. Who Putin is is well known to everyone and not from today: we also knew it when we entered into the supply contracts with him that today serve as a weapon of blackmail. Making him an icon of the left – or even just of democracy – is frankly laughable, as is his declared intent of “Denazify” Ukraine. Neo-Nazis are not lacking in its ranks either, but if we do not want to succumb to the temptation of simplification and polarization, we cannot pretend that the Azov battalion does not exist. This in no way justifies the invasion of Ukraine, but at least in part explains an otherwise incomprehensible attitude on the part of those who feel anti-fascist, such as Ongaro.
The Donbass culpably ignored
Our countryman had been in Donbass since 2015, a year after the start of a conflict that we have culpably ignored. It is precisely in this ignorance that the difficulty in fully understanding what is happening has fermented, because the complex events that led to the birth of Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk they are still open wounds, which have contributed to the consolidation of a fratricidal rivalry that we are struggling to decipher. Also for this reason the identification with the Ukrainian resistance it was not immediate and generalized, with respect to the history of our country and the struggle against Nazi-fascism. Not as much as Zelensky had hoped, at least, and it is certainly no coincidence that his decidedly skilled spin doctors led him to remove this reference in his appeal to our Parliament, knowing full well that in the country there is a feeling of strong solidarity in against the victims of the war, but not one total ideological adhesion. Tomaso Montanari argued that the basic difference between the Italian and Ukrainian Resistance lies in the fact that the former fought an opponent on the run and destined for defeat, while the Russians sooner or later will overwhelm the even fighting army of Kiev: a curious but indicative motivation of a certain identity crisis of the Italian left. Perhaps today the true way of being against the system is to be uncritically against the mainstream thesis and therefore also deny the evidence, such as Putin’s faults. The fact is that the positions on the war between Russia and Ukraine are far from crystallized and that, even on this, the differences between right and left are no longer so easy to understand.

Ceremonies will mark 100 years since Lytham and St Annes came together
The 100th anniversary of the union of Lytham and St Annes as a single council area will be marked with a ceremony in St Annes.
The official union to form the borough of Lytham St Annes only lasted a little more than 50 years and ended almost another 50 years ago, but marketing of the area as a joint entity through the peak tourism years of 50s and 60s – and the united title still being used by Royal Mail – means the joint name lives on.
Both towns are are now proud of their own identity as part of the Fylde borough, which came into being in 1974, and St Annes has a Town Council while a consultation has been ongoing on whether Lytham should follow suit.
The union by Act of Parliament came into effect on May 1, 1922.
While the then Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Robert Horne was standing in the Houses of Parliament and cutting a shilling off UK income tax rates and four old pence off a pound of tea, in St Annes a crowd of many hundreds assembled to watch and hear the reading of the Charter granted by King George V in front of J H Taylors (as the now former store was named then) by the Town Clerk Mr Bradley.
In recognition of the cententary, St Annes town crier John Spencer Barnes will be performing a ‘cry’ in Lytham Square at noon on May 1 before moving to St Annes to make a further proclamation at 12.30 pm on the exact spot that the Charter was read 100 years ago. The bells of St Annes Parish Church will then be rung.
Invited guests including Fylde MP Mark Menzies, current and former Fylde and St Annes Town Councillors along with civic society members from both towns will be in attendance.
After the proclamation, they will attend a small reception in Fylde’s Town Hall - previously the home of Lytham St Annes Council – to hear a few words from both the Fylde and St Annes mayors, a short history presentation and to look at artefacts, newspaper cuttings, pictures and programmes from 1922.

WASHINGTON D.C., DC — The North Texas couple who has been advocating for their son’s release from a Russian prison finally got the meeting they’ve been asking for.
On Wednesday, President Joe Biden met with Joey and Paula Reed, the parents of former U.S. Marine Trevor Reed.
The Reeds first encountered the president during his visit to Fort Worth earlier this month. Side by side, they held up signs as the president’s motorcade drove past. Later that day, the president gave them a phone call.
Three weeks passed, and their hopes for a meeting with the president dwindled, but they didn't give up.
On Wednesday, Reed’s parents demonstrated outside the White House and protested. Then it happened: a 40-minute face-to-face meeting with the president.
“We were surprised,” Joey Reed said. “We were just hoping to get a meeting scheduled, so when they called and said 'Can you come over in an hour?', we were very excited.”
The Reeds told WFAA that they felt cautiously optimistic after their meeting with the president.
“He was very gracious, very compassionate, everything we thought that he would be… he was,” Paula Reed said.
“He was very conservative and not making any promises, and he just said that ‘We’re working, don’t get your hopes up too high,’ but other than that, we really can’t discuss anything. He allowed us to talk about everything we wanted to discuss,” Joey Reed said.
The Reeds said they were satisfied with how the meeting went.
“The president heard what we were saying,” Joey Reed said. “We said we’re sorry that we’ve had to blitz the media to get this meeting finalized, and he said, ‘Don’t ever apologize for that.’ Him and the secretary of state and everyone in the government all told us that they would do the exact same thing that we’re doing if it was their child.”
On Thursday, the Reeds met with lawmakers, including Rep. August Pfluger and Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas. Then, they met with several members of the U.S. Department of State.
“We just need to get him home,” Paula said.
Trevor Reed was detained in Russia in 2019. He faces a nine-year prison sentence after getting into an alleged altercation with Russian police officers. Reed has denied those charges.
The Reeds told WFAA their son’s health is deteriorating while imprisoned. According to his parents, Trevor Reed is in solitary confinement, may have tuberculosis, is coughing blood daily and may have a broken rib.
His parents said Trevor Reed went on a hunger strike Monday. On Thursday, his father said they want a prisoner swap in exchange for their son.
“Whatever they need to do to bring him home and Paul Whelan and Brittney Griner,” Joey Reed said.
With emotion, the Reeds shared a message for their son:
“Stay tough. Stay strong. Hang in there just a little bit longer. We’re doing everything we possibly can to bring him home,” Paula Reed said.
“We love you, and we’ve talked to just about everybody we can talk to. We’ve talked to the boss now. So, it’s up to our government now to make it happen,” Joey Reed said.
They're not giving up the fight until their son makes it home.

LONDON, UK — Inflation in Europe soared to another record, according to new EU figures released Friday, in a fresh sign that rising energy prices fueled by Russia’s war in Ukraine are squeezing consumers and adding pressure on the central bank to raise interest rates.
Consumer prices in the 19 countries that use the euro currency rose by an annual rate of 7.5% in March, according to the European Union statistics agency, Eurostat.
The latest reading smashed the high set just last month, when it hit 5.9%. It's the fifth straight month that inflation in the eurozone has set a record, bringing it to the highest level since recordkeeping for the euro began in 1997.
Rising consumer prices are a growing problem around the world, making it more difficult for people to afford everything from groceries to their utility bills. Spiking energy costs are the main factor driving inflation in Europe, with those prices surging 44.7% last month, up from 32% in February, Eurostat said.
Oil and gas prices had already been rising because of increasing demand from economies recovering from the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic. They jumped higher after Russia, a major oil and gas producer, invaded Ukraine, on fears that sanctions and export restrictions could crimp supplies.
At an outdoor market this week in Cologne, Germany, shopper Andreas Langheim bemoaned how life was getting more expensive.
“I can see the effect of increasing prices, especially here at the market," Langheim, 62, said as he picked up some bread from a bakery van. "Everything is more expensive now.”
The latest figures make it more urgent for the European Central Bank to get off the sidelines and take action, analysts said. The bank is balancing record inflation with the threat that the war may hurt an economy under pressure. Last month, it sped up its exit from economic stimulus efforts to combat inflation, but has not taken more drastic steps.
“We think that the ECB will soon conclude that it can’t wait any longer before starting to raise interest rates,” Jack Allen-Reynolds, senior Europe economist at Capital Economics, said in a report.
Other central banks have started raising rates, including in the U.S., where inflation has soared to a 40-year high of 7.9%. European countries that don’t use the euro, including Britain, Norway and the Czech Republic have done the same.
In the eurozone, there were price increases for other categories of spending besides energy. Food, alcohol and tobacco costs rose 5%, compared with 4.2% in the prior month, while prices for goods like clothing, appliances, cars, computers and books rose 3.4%, up from 3.1%; and service prices rose 2.7%, versus the previous 2.5%.
Italian Premier Mario Draghi, a former European Central Bank president, outlined how the problem hits households.
“Inflation is rising because raw materials prices are going up, in particular those for foodstuffs. Those are the ones that hit hardest a family’s buying power,’’ Draghi told foreign journalists Thursday. “Shortages in some raw materials creates a bottleneck in production and forces further price hikes.’’
Draghi said that as long as inflation remains temporary, governments can respond with budgetary measures, such as payments to help low income families with higher heating and electricity costs. But if it becomes a longer-term issue the response will have to be structural, he said.

A 55-year-old collection agent allegedly had Rs 3 lakh stolen from him when he fell from his bike after getting entangled in kite string, police said on Friday.
The incident took place on Wednesday near a petrol pump in Shastri Park, they said.
According to police, Madan Singh, the victim, told them that he was carrying Rs 6 lakh at the time of the incident and about Rs 3 lakh of it was stolen.
Mr Singh was riding a bike on Wednesday when a loose kite string got entangled around his neck, causing him to lose balance and fall on the road, police said.
The man received injuries on his neck and shoulder and was rushed to a nearby hospital by a passerby, and is undergoing treatment, according to police.
“No arrests have been made in the incident which is still being investigated,” said a senior police officer. "We are inquiring about the claims made by the man. We are trying to gather information about who all gathered there when the incident took place and if the money was stolen by anyone among them," he said.
A case was registered under sections 337 (Causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others), 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others), and 379 (punishment for theft) of the Indian Penal Code at Shastri Park Police Station, police said. PTI AMP AMP VN VN

Are Investors Undervaluing Greif (GEF) Right Now?
Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
Of these, value investing is easily one of the most popular ways to find great stocks in any market environment. Value investors rely on traditional forms of analysis on key valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are undervalued, leaving room for profits.
Luckily, Zacks has developed its own Style Scores system in an effort to find stocks with specific traits. Value investors will be interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with both "A" grades in the Value category and high Zacks Ranks are among the strongest value stocks on the market right now.
One company value investors might notice is Greif (GEF). GEF is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), as well as an A grade for Value. The stock has a Forward P/E ratio of 10.04. This compares to its industry's average Forward P/E of 13.41. GEF's Forward P/E has been as high as 16.95 and as low as 8.84, with a median of 11.01, all within the past year.
GEF is also sporting a PEG ratio of 1. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. GEF's PEG compares to its industry's average PEG of 1.32. Within the past year, GEF's PEG has been as high as 1.70 and as low as 0.88, with a median of 1.10.
Value investors also love the P/S ratio, which is calculated by simply dividing a stock's price with the company's sales. Some people prefer this metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement. This means it could be a truer performance indicator. GEF has a P/S ratio of 0.53. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 1.16.
Value investors will likely look at more than just these metrics, but the above data helps show that Greif is likely undervalued currently. And when considering the strength of its earnings outlook, GEF sticks out at as one of the market's strongest value stocks.
5 Stocks Set to Double
Each was handpicked by a Zacks expert as the #1 favorite stock to gain +100% or more in 2021. Previous recommendations have soared +143.0%, +175.9%, +498.3% and +673.0%.
Most of the stocks in this report are flying under Wall Street radar, which provides a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor.

Harry Styles has confessed that one of his upcoming Brighton-based films isn't safe to watch "with your parents". The former One Direction star talked about My Policeman, which was shot in Brighton and other parts of Sussex last spring, in an interview with Capital FM today (April 1).
Following reports My Policeman includes some racy scenes, radio presenter Roman Kemp quizzed the pop sensation on which of his new films, including Don't Worry, Darling, are safe to watch with his parents, Martin and Shirley Kemp. The 28-year-old said: "I don't know if you can watch either with your parents – I'm gonna have to do another one."
Roman pleaded with Harry that he must make another film, saying: "You're gonna have to do another one, so that Shirley Kemp can enjoy a film with me." Roman also asked Harry if a "deflated netball" was used to shoot sex scenes after Bridgerton star, Jonathan Bailey, revealed the object was used to shoot intimate scenes in an interview with Radio Times.

Harry revealed he has had "no experience with a netball", but explained: "It depends very much on who you're working with and what the situation is. All I can say, from my own experience, is that I was very lucky to have a very trusting relationship within the people that we were working with, and that kind of came first.
"It was all discussed and all of it was very, kind of, 'okay, above the filming, above anything that's happening with the cameras, it's me and you, we're doing this together, and we trust each other, and at any point we can stop whenever' - and all that kind of stuff."
In the film, Harry plays Tom, a gay policeman who marries Marion, played by The Crown's Emma Corrin, to conceal his secret relationship with a young man called Patrick.
It is expected to be released on Amazon Prime later this year, though an exact date has not yet been confirmed. The global icon appeared on Capital FM to promote his new single, 'As It Was', which dropped today, and upcoming album, 'Harry's House', which will be released on May 20.

Halifax, Moncton prepare joint bid to host World Junior Hockey Championship
The 2023 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship was scheduled to take place in Russia in December, but the International Ice Hockey Federation pulled the event after Russia invaded Ukraine.
CTV News has learned Halifax and Moncton, N.B., are now preparing a joint bid to host the event at the Scotiabank Centre and the Avenir Centre. Formal bids to host the tournament are due next week and a decision should be made by the end of April.
Fred MacGillivray was the chair of the tournament almost 20 years ago when Halifax and Sydney, N.S., established record-breaking success.
“It really moved the event to a new level," said MacGillivray. "Hockey Canada told me that several times.”
The return of the World Junior Hockey Championship would be a major money-maker for both Maritime cities.
"It would make up for some of our losses over the past two years," said bar manager Colin Grant.
Hockey broadcaster John Moore said the biggest obstacle would be Halifax and Moncton proving they can successfully host the event just nine months from now.
“The track record is there," said Moore. "They’ve done it and it was an overwhelming success and perhaps the most successful world juniors ever.”
TSN broadcaster Gord Miller offered his opinion on Montreal radio Wednesday night.
“They have the infrastructure there, and they were supposed to have the Women’s World Championship, but the provincial government shut that down, so they are kind of owed one," said Miller. "Quebec City, maybe Seattle and Vancouver. But Halifax, if they throw their hat in the ring, would be a frontrunner for me."
MacGillivray said there are key strategies for local organizers to consider.
"Let’s talk about the volunteers that we have to bring together to lead this," said MacGillivray, who added there is a top strategic priority as the bid process pushes ahead. “Getting the tickets sold.”
MacGillivray is confident both Halifax and Moncton would draw capacity crowds in December and January.

Canadian firm lobbies Brazil for Amazon potash mine permit
By Anthony Boadle
BRASILIA, March 31 (Reuters) - Toronto-based Brazil Potash Corp has laid out for Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro this week its plans to reduce his country's dependence on fertilizer imports disrupted by the Ukraine war by opening a potash mine in the Amazon.
The company's owner, investment banker Stan Bharti, met with Bolsonaro on Monday to discuss the $2.5 billion project that has been held up since 2017 due to a suspended environmental permit pending consultations with the indigenous Mura people.
Bolsonaro told Bharti his government was committed to "unlocking" fertilizer projects such as the potash mine that are strategic for Brazil, said former Senator Cidinho Santos, who attended the meeting, in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
The decision to allow the mine at Autazes, 75 miles (120 kms) southeast of the state capital Manaus, is not entirely up to Bolsonaro. The project depends on a ruling by Federal Judge Jaiza Fraxe, who is monitoring talks with the Mura people to make sure they have a fair say.
As potash prices tripled last year and war has threatened supplies from Russia and Eastern Europe, pressure to open the potash mine has grown from Brazil's farm sector, which relies on imports for 85% of its fertilizer, needed to raise crop yields.
Brazil, the world's largest producer of soybeans, depends on potash imports from China, Canada and Morocco, but mostly Russia and Belarus for nearly half of the supplies in the country. Those exports have been crimped severely by sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
Potassio do Brasil, a subsidiary of Brazil Potash, which is wholly-owned by Bharti's Forbes & Manhattan bank, said it would take three years to get the mine operating, with an output of 2.44 million tonnes per year once permits are obtained.
"As soon as the environmental license is restored, we will apply to Amazon environmental protection agency IPAAM for an installation license and start work," Chief Executive Adriano Espeschit said in an emailed statement. "We hope to be producing in Autazes at the start of 2026."
Espeschit said the company recognizes the Mura's right to be consulted under the International Labor Organization (ILO) convention 169 on indigenous and tribal peoples, and meetings have begun after a two-year delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Judge Fraxe's office did not reply to a request for comment on the meetings. Claudio Mura, head of a local indigenous council, declined to speak by phone on how talks were going.
Prosecutor Fernando Soave, who first called for the license suspension in 2016 because the Mura had not been consulted, said there was no agreement at a meeting with the tribe on Tuesday to decide which controversial points to include in talks.
"The pre-consultation meetings have not yet started," Soave told Reuters.
His office said exploratory drilling for potash deposits by the company began in the region in 2009 without consulting the Mura people, who claim the area as ancestral lands, though their claim has not been recognized by the Brazilian government.
Brazil Potash said the entrance to the planned mine will not be on indigenous land, which the Mura dispute, and that the environmental impact of mining potash deposits 800 meters (2,625 ft) below ground will be negligible.
The prosecutor's office has warned of the project's significant social and cultural impact on the Mura people. Consultations are expected to take time as they involve 44 Mura villages.

SZEKESFEHERVAR, Hungary (AP) — Hungary's nationalist prime minister on Friday portrayed his country's upcoming election as an existential turning point and a choice between war and peace as he made a final appeal to voters at a campaign rally in a rural stronghold.
Viktor Orban, who is seeking a fourth consecutive term as the head of Hungary's government, has campaigned on the promise that if re-elected in Hungary's parliamentary election Sunday, he will protect the country's peace and security and maintain Russian energy imports as war rages in neighboring Ukraine.
Orban’s right-wing Fidesz party is facing what polls suggest will be the closest election in more than a decade.
“This isn’t our war, we have to stay out of it," Orban said Friday to hundreds of supporters in the central Hungarian city of Szekesfehervar. "We can stay out by not sending soldiers or weapons, and not allowing arms shipments through Hungary’s territory, because then we’ll immediately become a military target.”
Alone among Ukraine’s neighbors in the European Union, Hungary has refused to supply Ukraine with weapons and has forbid their transit across the Hungarian-Ukrainian border, arguing that doing so would draw the country into the conflict.
While Orban has condemned Russia's war against Ukraine, he has been careful not to place responsibility for the conflict on Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom he has forged close relations since taking office in 2010. He has also fought vehemently against sanctioning Russian fossil fuels, upon which Hungary is very dependent. Last week, Orban noted that 85% of Hungary’s gas and more than 60% of its oil comes from Russia.
At the rally in Szekesfehervar, Orban repeated an unsubstantiated claim that a six-party coalition that united to run against him Sunday had made a secret pact with the Ukrainian government, and that his opponents would cut off Russian oil and gas if elected — something the coalition has denied.
The opposition coalition, United For Hungary, has coordinated its candidates in each of Hungary's 106 voting districts, and nominated independent conservative Peter Marki-Zay to face Orban as its candidate for prime minister.
The opposition parties, which previously campaigned on a promise to do away with what they call widespread corruption and democratic backsliding under Orban, have asked voters to punish the autocratic prime minister for his close relations with Putin. The war in Ukraine has sent hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing into Hungary seeking safety.
The opposition has portrayed Sunday's election as a referendum on whether Hungary will belong to a league of Western democracies or return to its historical past as a repressive, Russian-dominated autocracy.
For his part, Orban painted a dark picture Friday of the possible dire economic repercussions that could occur if Hungary's ties with Russia were cut.
“If we sanction energy imports and they shut down the pipelines, then Hungary won't be just colder, the temperature won't go down one or two degrees, but the country will shut down," he said. “We'll have to close the factories and many people — including you — will lose their jobs.”

Which Replica perfumes are best?
Scent is our most powerfully evocative sense, and perhaps no perfume brand leans more into the relationship between scent and memory than Maison Margiela’s Replica perfumes. These fragrances attempt to capture experiences and moments from specific places and times, like favorite Replica fragrance By the Fireplace does with notes of woodsmoke, chestnut and vanilla. Here’s how to select the best Replica perfume for your fragrance collection.
What to know before you buy a Replica perfume
Most Replica fragrances are unisex
Maison Margiela is an unconventional fashion house, and its Replica fragrances follow suit by largely ignoring standard gendered fragrance categories. Only a handful of the brand’s fragrances are recommended specifically for male or female users, and even within those categories, users of all genders tend to have success wearing a fragrance that isn’t traditionally marketed for them. Don’t be afraid to sample a fragrance that seems outside the box — Replica may pleasantly surprise you.
Most popular Replica fragrances are eau de toilettes
One important consideration in shopping for a Replica perfume is that the majority of the fragrances available are eau de toilettes, not eau de parfums. Eau de parfum is what we typically think of as “perfume,” and its scent tends to be stronger and longer-lasting, but eau de toilette is frequently more affordable. This is due to eau de toilettes having a lower concentration of pricey fragrance oils (generally 8-12%) than eau de parfums (12-18%). While eau de toilettes tend to be lighter and less complex, some of Replica’s most popular eau de toilettes, like By The Fireplace, are as rich and elaborate as eau de parfums.
Experiment with a gift set
There are a lot of Replica perfumes to choose from, and it’s always possible that the most popular scent in the lineup won’t appeal to you. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by choice or don’t want to risk buying a perfume you’re not in love with, consider trying a gift set. Replica gift sets typically include 10 mini bottles, each with roughly eight wears — enough to get a feel for the perfume. These mini bottles are also great for travel.
What to look for in a quality Replica perfume
Affordable luxury designer quality
Replica eau de toilettes offer complex, unique fragrances at reasonable price points compared to other, more established designer perfume brands. Plus, with three bottle sizes available as well as a sample set, it’s easy to get the right amount of perfume for your budget.
Spray bottles, not rollerballs
Perfume purists often prefer spray applicators to rollerballs, and with good reason. Atomizers help disperse fragrance more evenly on your skin, and rollerballs can pick up debris from contact with your skin and degrade the perfume’s quality over time. All sizes of Replica perfumes come with atomizers.
Thoughtful packaging
In keeping with the brand’s theme of nostalgia and memory, Replica perfume bottles are modeled after apothecary jars. The white labels are fabric, not paper, and they’re printed with the place and year that inspired the fragrance as well as the fragrance notes. The boxes feature Polaroid photographs that depict the place encapsulated by the perfume.
How much you can expect to spend on Replica perfume
Replica eau de toilette fragrances come in two standard sizes. The full-size, 3.4-ounce bottle costs $144, while 1-ounce bottles cost $76. Travel-size, .34-ounce spray bottles are available for $32.
Replica perfume FAQ
How many Replica perfumes are there?
A. Maison Margiela currently makes three Replica eau de parfum fragrances and 18 eau de toilette fragrances. New scents are added almost every year, but a handful have been discontinued over time.
How long do Replica perfumes last?
A. Replica perfumes are popular more for their unique scents than their staying power. For some, this may be a deal-breaker, but keep in mind that a perfume’s longevity depends on many factors. Replica perfumes can last anywhere from two to six hours.
What’s the best Replica perfume to buy?
Top Replica perfume
What you need to know: This unisex fragrance accurately captures the scent memory of relaxing by a fire.
What you’ll love: The unique perfume has notes of woodsmoke, clove and vanilla. It’s a great fragrance for fall and winter.
What you should consider: It may be one of Replica’s more popular fragrances, but it’s also very unique: its top notes are strongly smoky, and the fireplace-like scent may limit when and where it can be worn.
Where to buy: Sold by Sephora and Violet Grey
Top Replica perfume for the money
What you need to know: Themed around going out for cocktails at an upscale club, this fragrance starts off with warm spices and rum before drying down into smoky notes of vanilla and tobacco.
What you’ll love: The warm, smoky notes of this fragrance tend to have better projection and linger longer than some Replica perfumes, so it’s a comparatively good value, especially in the smaller size. Though it’s marketed as a male scent, all wearers love it.
What you should consider: It’s a softer fragrance that doesn’t evolve much over time, and it’s best for fans of smoky, masculine scents.
Where to buy: Sold by Sephora and Violet Grey
Worth checking out
What you need to know: The notes of coconut and citrus in this freshly sweet fragrance will transport you to a tropical beach.
What you’ll love: While Beach Walk is a distinctly summery fragrance, it’s also fun to wear off-season when you need a sunny pick-me-up. It’s a good choice for someone new to perfume or who wants a light, non-traditional fragrance.
What you should consider: Some users interpret the scent as too similar to sunscreen for their tastes.
Where to buy: Sold by Sephora and Violet Grey

Which rustic lampshade is best?
Rustic decor can make any space feel warm and homey, but as you cozy up with a hot beverage around the fire, your lampshades might stick out like a sore thumb. How do you style something so functional to match the homespun aesthetic of your rustic decor?
From earthy colors to organic materials, rustic lampshades are the perfect accent to a cabin-inspired interior. Whether your vision of rustic is understated and minimal or decadent like a hunting lodge, the best rustic lampshade is Brentwood Collection Oatmeal Tall Linen Medium Drum Lampshade.
What to know before you buy a rustic lampshade
What is rustic?
Rustic is an interior design style inspired by frontier and country living. It emphasizes natural, organic and raw materials typically found in homes built with resources immediately available to those living off the land. Think exposed cross beams, unfinished wood or logs, animal hides and raw leathers, wrought or cast iron, heirloom or antique furniture and warm, thick knit fabrics.
What makes a lampshade rustic?
The modern lampshade is a fairly recent invention, coinciding with the discovery of electricity. So, many rustic lampshades use inspiration from premodern living to imagine a utilitarian, repurposed aesthetic. These are made from raw, organic materials and are typically decorated with a mixture of natural and folk motifs.
If you want a camp-like aesthetic, look for lampshades with silhouettes or stenciling of plants or animals. Many seek to imitate the appearance of animal hide, radiating an amber glow.
If understated and contemporary rustic is your thing, natural colors such as beige, sage green, ocher and amber all look good with raw woods.
Types of lampshades
Lampshades come in all shapes and sizes:
- Empire: These are conical lampshades. They’re shaped so that most of the light emits from the wider bottom, making them perfect for table lamps.
- Bell: These lampshades are similar to empire shades in effect but have a concave curve traveling from the narrow top to their flared bottom.
- Round: Round shades can come in a classic drum or oval shape. They diffuse light in an even, ambient manner, suiting them well to floor lamps.
- Square: These modern, geometric shapes are good at even lighting but might clash with the organic forms of rustic decor.
- Dome: Used with overhead lights or table lamps, these are shallow with wide openings to spill out lots of light.
What to look for in a quality rustic lampshade
Material
- Linen: Elegantly textured, this material is popular for its durability and simplicity, fitting almost any decor.
- Cotton: Cotton is a little more uniform than linen thanks to its tighter weave. It’s lightweight and soft.
- Paper: Paper lampshades have lots of texture and are good at simulating rustic materials. They’re the most translucent material.
- Silk: Silk is a very luxurious material that can class up any room. It’s thick with a classic sheen.
- Fiber: Elaborate lampshade designs can be made from sculptural materials such as wood. Look for wicker, rattan or burlap. Light quality depends on their weave.
Fitter
The fitter is the structural component that attaches the shade to your lamp. There are four kinds:
- Spider: A spider fitter sits at the top of the shade and uses spokes to hold up a center washer that connects to your lamp. You lock it on with a finial.
- Clip-on: Clip-ons use clamping metal tongs to clasp the light bulb of your lamp.
- Uno: These are similar to spider fitters in their design but travel to the bottom of the lamp so they rest at the base of the light bulb.
- Screw-on: Like uno fitters, screw-ons sit beneath the light bulb, screwing onto the lamp fixture.
Finials
These are the little decorative end pieces that screw the fitter onto the lamp. If your lamp fitter requires a finial, think about the design you want. Many ornamental finials are better suited to classically inspired decors, but that doesn’t mean your rustic home has to do without these fun accents. Pine cones, driftwood, sculptural wildlife and other country-living inspired materials or flora and fauna all look great on a rustic lampshade.
How much you can expect to spend on a rustic lampshade
Depending on the material, a rustic lampshade can cost $30-$70.
Rustic lampshade FAQ
What width lampshade do I need?
A. If you’re styling a table lamp, most designers recommend choosing a lampshade whose base diameter measures within 2 inches of your lamp’s height. To get your lamp’s height, measure from the base just up to where the bulb’s socket cap begins. For floor lamps, you have more flexibility — size just so that the bulb has at least 2.5 inches on either side.
What height lampshade do I need?
A. Similar to width, the lampshade should be within a half-inch of the height of the lamp’s harp. The harp is the wire frame that begins at the socket cap and extends above the bulb so you can install your shade. If your lamp doesn’t have a harp, don’t exceed the height of the lamp’s body; aim for two-thirds the height.
How do I match my lampshade to my lamp?
A. When choosing a lampshade shape, you want it to mirror the shape of your lamp. A square base and round body match a lampshade of the same composition. Likewise, an oval shade looks great on a cylindrical lamp, but wonky on a squat, square one. There are no hard and fast rules, but this general guideline typically makes for a good pairing.

But not ’til September. Rats!
Vermintide follow-up Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will launch on Tuesday 13th September.
The four-player co-op game builds on Vermintide 2’s melee combat with the addition of “deep and balanced gunplay”, developer FatShark has said.
You’ll need a mix of melee and ranged combat to fight off Darktide’s new menagerie of monsters, which you glimpse in the new trailer below:
Darktide was previously set to launch for PC and Xbox Series X/S back in 2021, though was then delayed to spring 2022. Today’s news marks a further hold-up.

Three Americans among victims of Mexico cockfighting ring massacre
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – Mexican authorities have identified 19 of the 20 people shot to death Sunday in a clandestine cockfighting ring in Zinapecuaro, Michoacan.
The victims include three U.S. citizens whom the Michoacan Attorney General’s Office only identified by first names: Melissa S., Salvador A. and Jose Abiel A. The latter allegedly was the owner of the unlicensed cockfighting arena inside a ranch called El Paraiso (Paradise); the woman was one of three females killed in the attack.
KION-TV identified the deceased woman as Melissa Silva, 36 and a mother of four, and said her sister, Arleth, 16 and a resident of Chicago, was among six wounded. The station quoted their brother, Alex, as saying the sisters were vacationing in Mexico, where family members live.
The AG’s office said it received assistance from the U.S. Embassy in Mexico to verify the identities. It’s also working with the Embassy of Guatemala to verify the identity of the alleged target of the attack, a man so far only known as “El Chapo de Guatemala.”
20 killed at clandestine rooster fight in Mexico“We have been able to establish, through investigations, that alleged members of a criminal cell that operates in Eastern Michoacan were (at the arena),” state authorities said in a news release.
No arrests were reported as of Wednesday in the attack in which gunmen wearing camouflage arrived to the ranch in a food truck and blocked the exit to the facility with a hijacked public transportation bus.
After the shooting, state police found more than 100 shell casings of 7.62-caliber bullets typically used by AK-47 rifles, .223-caliber shells used by AR-15 rifles and .40-caliber pistol casings. The AG’s Office said some of the vehicles parked near the scene bore stickers and held clothing with the logos of a drug cartel.
Mexican news reports identified that group as the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, which has been at war with the Familia Michoacana criminal organization and a local gang called Los Correa.
