SEATTLE (AP) — A Ukrainian man who served as a high-level hacker in a ring that stole more than 20 million credit and debit card records, causing an estimated $1 billion in losses, has been sentenced to five years in prison.
Denys Iarmak, 32, is the third member of the hacking group FIN7 to be sentenced in the U.S. He was arrested in Bangkok in November 2019 at the request of federal investigators. He was extradited in 2020 and pleaded guilty last fall to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit computer hacking.
According to federal prosecutors, U.S. District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez sentenced him Thursday in Seattle, saying there was “some irony" that the group plundered the United States, which is now supporting Ukraine amid Russia's invasion.
FIN7 engaged in sophisticated phishing scams to breach the computer networks and point-of-sale terminals of about 3,600 business locations in all 50 states since at least 2015, many of them restaurants, gambling or hospitality businesses. Among the restaurant chains that disclosed attacks attributed to FIN7 were Chipotle Mexican Grill, Chili's, Arby's and Red Robin.
The group then sold the credit and debit card information.
Iarmak was involved from approximately November 2016 through November 2018. He used project management software to coordinate FIN7 hacking efforts, investigators said.
Seattle U.S. Attorney Nick Brown said Iarmak continued even after other FIN7 members had been arrested.
“Iarmak and his conspirators compromised millions of financial accounts, causing over a billion dollars in losses to Americans and costs to America’s economy,” Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite Jr. of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division said in a news release.
FIN7 member Fedir Hladyr was sentenced last year to 10 years in prison, and another co-conspirator, Andrii Kolpakov, received seven years.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Cameron Smith’s signature mullet is flappable. Very flappable. His game? Not so much.
The 28-year-old Australian’s opening round at the Masters on Thursday started and ended with double bogeys. In between came eight birdies and ultimately a 4-under 68 that vaulted him to the upper reaches of the leaderboard, a surge fueled by the kind of creative and calmly fearless play that guided Smith to a steely one-shot victory at the Players Championship last month.
He’s well aware he could have gone even lower save for a pair of wayward approach shots at the first and the last. Yes, the mistakes will eat at him. Well, maybe. Minutes after calling his day “a little bit disappointing,” Smith insisted he’s already moved on.
“The less you guys bring it up, the less, the quicker I’ll forget about it,” he said with a laugh.
Smith’s game is an anachronism of sorts, one brought into stark contrast while playing alongside Bryson DeChambeau, who never met a driver he didn’t like to mash. That’s not Smith. He doesn’t hit it particularly far — he was 60th in driving distance in the 90-man field during the opening round — or particularly straight.
He doesn’t have to excel at either thanks to a world-class short game, the kind that lends itself to getting a green jacket draped over your shoulders on Sunday afternoon. The world’s sixth-ranked player didn’t panic after a tee shot into a bunker, a splash-out, a pitch that went long, a blah chip and two putts had him 2-over 20 minutes into his workday.
There was plenty of time to stew if Smith wanted. Paul Casey’s withdrawal due to back issues left Smith and DeChambeau a twosome stuck between a pair of threesomes, including one featuring Tiger Woods.
Yet during the long lags in play, Smith kept it loose, mostly chatting with caddie Sam Pinfold about the Brisbane Broncos, Smith’s hometown rugby team. Anything but the task ahead. Besides, he’s grown comfortable among the Georgia pines, never missing a cut in five starts and putting together a runner-up finish to Dustin Johnson in 2020.
“I love this place,” Smith said. “I think my short game has definitely got me out of a lot of bad spots around here, but at the end of the day I think you just need to give yourself opportunities. You need to hit your irons close, and you need to be really good with the putter.”
For twoish hours in the middle of his round, Smith did both while putting together eight birdies in a stretch of 12 holes.
A chip-in from off the green on the par-4 fifth provided a welcome jolt. His iron on the par-3 sixth landed a foot from the hole. A wedge to within five feet on the ninth helped him make the turn at 2-under. Birdies at 12, 14, 15 and 16 pushed him to 6-under and the lead before a tee shot that drifted right on the 18th blunted his momentum. A punch out, a wedge that came up short and three putts gave him a double bogey to bookend the one at the first.
He planned to work out any lingering angst by spending 30 minutes on a stationary bike back at the house he’s renting. Then maybe whip up a meal — he made some spaghetti Bolognese on Wednesday — and relax.
Sure, he could have posted a number for the rest of the field to catch. He didn’t quite get there, but he knows he’s in solid position heading into what could be a blustery weekend that will have the mullet his barber just cleaned up fluttering from underneath his hat in all its shabby-chic glory.
About the hair. It’s become part of his identity as much as his increasingly impressive performances, so much so that Hall of Famer Gary Player — who picked Smith to win his first major this weekend — wonders what might happen if Smith finds himself in Butler Cabin late Sunday evening.
“I’d love to see how he’s accepted with that long hair in the clubhouse,” Player said. “They might tell him to have a haircut.”
Or maybe not. The player that Player called “cocky” in the best way possible has no problem going against convention.
“He’s confident, which you’ve got to be, and he’s one hang of a putter,” Player said about an hour before Smith teed off. “It’s not going to surprise me, he’s not going to come in here and be overawed, as many players will be. He’ll be in there with a good chance to win.”
He’s on his way.

The weeklong developments in the city unit of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) remind one of former British prime minister Harold Wilson’s quote, “A week is a long time in politics”. Vasant More, a three-time corporator, was sacked as city
MNS president, 11 months after being appointed to the post, and Sainath Babar was handed over the reins. The undercurrent was felt as soon as More had expressed his disagreement over party supremo Raj Thackeray’s stand against ‘azaan’ on loudspeakers at mosques a week ago.
On Thursday morning, Babar was called to Shiv Tirth, the MNS chief’s house, and given the new charge. More was neither informed about the development nor invited to Mumbai, but he took it in a stride and congratulated Babar and wished him success in his new role.
Only recently, Roopali Patil, former MNS corporator, quit the party and joined NCP. She was vocal about being cornered by some senior party leaders from Pune. More appeared to have hailed the MNS’s latest move. “Hey, I am your Mavala for a long time. Efficient corporator MNS group leader Sainath Babar has been elected Pune city president; many congratulations, Sai,” he wrote on his social media accounts.
According to reliable sources, More, who holds clout in the Katraj ward, has been invited by the NCP, BJP, Shiv Sena and Congress to join their parties. He, however, does not seem to be ready to switch loyalties, at least for now. “I have been with Raj saheb for 27 years and my age is 47. I am with MNS for 15 years, so one incident cannot take me away from the leader I admire the most. I am not quitting the party,” he said.
NCP city chief Prashant Jagtap wasted no time in making an offer to More publicly. “I request More and all those who feel they need to be in a secular party to join NCP,” he said.
The MNS, which had 28 corporators in the PMC in 2012, was reduced to two in the following civic elections with More and Babar running the show. Known as ‘Jay’ and ‘Veeru’ in the civic corridors, the two corporators played a key role in the opposition.
“More and Babar are very close and bonded. More’s stand was misinterpreted and presented to Raj saheb, due to which he lost his post as city president. Some rivals were against his popularity on social media and in the party. For any party event, he would be the one with ground-level party workers with him. Many felt inferior because of his popularity and Raj saheb’s fondness for him.” said a party man close to More.
“It is not More’s loss for sure. He gets elected because of his work and connect with the people, and not because of the party symbol. He can get elected even as an independent candidate from his ward,” said the source.
Babar told Mirror that he would reach out to the voters and make his stand clear in the coming days. “As far as More is concerned, I met him sometime back. We are together as a unit and will work for the party together like we always did. He is very much with MNS and won’t quit the party,” said the new MNS city president.
NCP leader Roopali Patil said that things were not right in the city unit of MNS and that is the reason why she had quit. “Since I couldn’t see any change in the functioning, I had to change my stand and quit the party. More is free to join any party because he is an active leader who works hard and is connected to the people. He will be welcomed anywhere,” she added.

The Los Angeles Times Festival Of Books of 2022 presents, All About Love: Poems from Mixed Experience
How Many Poems Can You Make From All Your Past Love Experiences?
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, USA, April 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Former college professor Joan Bonnel Clark releases her new book, All About Love: Poems from Mixed Experience, where humor and hard-won wisdom lies on every page. The subjects and events detailed in the book are from Joan’s personal and most intimate experiences on the different types of love.
Joan’s subjects are relatable situations and events in her life. All the poems found in the book, ranging from rhyme or unrhymed, are not academic in nature but solely to entertain and give readers a glimpse of how other people perceive different types of love. The book contains enthralling and memorable lines, which will tug the readers’ heartstrings. Joan’s literary pieces teach us that although love includes a tang of bitterness and a tad bit of regret, these emotions will lead us out of our pedestrian lives.
All About Love: Poems from Mixed Experience differs from Joan’s previous book, Glimpses of God—the latter being composed entirely of bible verses and religious anecdotes. This time, Joan takes on a completely different route and pens her most personal and intimate book yet. The characters addressed in the book will remain a mystery until a metaphorical shoe fits.
Joan has been writing for over sixty years. She has weathered several marriages and has been since raising her four children in and around her professional accomplishments—a truly remarkable feat. Joan is certainly a risk-taker as she dares to share some of her personal experiences back in her senior years in hopes that anyone can empathize with her. All About Love: Poems from Mixed Experience

Mobile gaming is growing at an incredible pace. That's why it's no longer the exception, but the rule, to see big publishers adapting some of their most beloved franchises to this format. If we add to this the enormous success of Rainbow Six: Siege, which still puts up a fight after seven years on the battlefield, the result is Rainbow Six Mobile, Ubisoft's new smartphone shooter.
The experiment may seem a bit too risky at first sight. R6 isn't a flick shooter mostly focusing on player skill, so it doesn't look like your typical mobile adaptation. It requires coordination, teamwork and strategy. It's a tactical shooter which is meant to become the... ehm, rainbow under which players looking for something a bit more serious on these devices will get shelter.
Adapting something as complex as Siege to such a different platform compared to PC and consoles is no easy task, and that's why during the presentation to which we were invited by Ubisoft we weren't shocked to learn from creative director Justin Swan that the project has been in development for several years already, employing a dev team from different countries. Ubisoft Montreal is the core, but Quebec, Paris, Kiev, Shanghai and five more locations add their part to the job. Their mission, to de-construct and then re-construct the foundations of R6: Siege to then adapt them to touch controls, to mobile playstyle, without losing the essence.
They want to deliver "the ultimate Siege experience that you can play with anyone, at any time, anywhere", and we don't know yet if they will, but at least we can feel those foundations from the game this is based on. The matches are team-based, with an attacking and a defending squad, and the playable Operators also come from the Rainbow universe, each with their own weapons and their familiar unique abilities, even though they've been tweaked to fit the new format.
The goal is clear: the defending team must protect a bomb at all costs. To that end, it can fortify the area by reinforcing walls or windows, and protect it by laying traps to catch the unsuspecting rivals. On the other hand, the attacking players may start exploring the map by using remotely-controlled drones in order to assess the best approach to dismantle the enemy's bomb and, of course, deactivate it before the time is up.
For now, we don't know about other details such as round duration or the available weapon types, but telling by the brief gameplay presentations there are shotguns, assault rifles and submachine guns, together with rappelling to break through windows and even gadgets such as the deployable shield (Rhino Armour Pack) for defensive Operator Rook. The fact that this Siege character is present, together with Hibana, an attacking character using her X-Kairos weapon to demolish reinforced walls by using explosives, leads us to think that there may be a selection of predetermined Operators, though it's still early to say.
What we do know is that it's not only characters Rainbow Six Mobile takes from its older brother, as it also faithfully recreates some of its maps, which will be available at launch so that veterans feel at home. And yes, the environments will be destructible, inheriting one of Siege's staples. Therefore, ruined and bullet-pierced walls are going to be one of the variables players will have to keep in mind during matches, even though the limits to that destruction are currently unknown.
It's difficult to think about a tactical shooter you can enjoy on smartphones. The design of the touch-screen device makes controls less physical and accurate, though devs are confident in the work done so that its PC and console roots aren't that obvious. For instance, touch controls now allow for Tactical Focus, which activates upon aiming with ironsights, effectively muting the environment, slowing time down, and auto-aiming at any enemy in sight. These mobile features add to the expected tweaks to movement, map size, etc.
All this attests to the ambition Ubisoft is using for this game. We've seen very little of Rainbow Six Mobile, but it looks surprisingly good and its offer seems bold. It only needs to prove that ambition won't be a shot in the foot and that there actually is room for tactical shooters on mobile. Soon enough, players will be able to check it out first-hand globally when pre-register opens.

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, in collaboration with CovalX Instruments Inc., introduces the OmegaTOF benchtop high mass matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer.
Image credit: Shimadzu SSI
The OmegaTOF system couples Shimadzu’s benchtop MALDI-TOF instrument platform (MALDI-8020) with established technology for high mass detection from CovalX. The result is a user-friendly, compact platform that extends benchtop MALDI-TOF analysis to a mass range of 1.5 MegaDalton.
The high mass detection capabilities of the OmegaTOF allow the highest sensitivity for analyzing large biomolecules, protein interactions, peptides, oligonucleotides and polymers. This allows access to a full range of applications already developed and optimized by CovalX technologies, most notably characterizing monoclonal antibodies, such as IgG, IgA and IgM. Crosslinking chemistries developed by CovalX enable the OmegaTOF to measure intact protein interactions directly, providing insight into protein aggregation, mAb:antigen interactions, protein complex stoichiometry or ligand association/dissociation measurements.
The OmegaTOF offers enhanced sample throughput, ease-of-use, low maintenance and a small footprint, making it ideal for all laboratories. Moreover, its quiet operation at <55 dB expands use beyond the conventional laboratory setting.
For higher measurement speed, the OmegaTOF utilizes a 200 Hz solid-state 355 nm laser featuring a class-leading two billion shots per lifetime. It also offers a fast sample introduction using a load-lock chamber and quick sample stage movement.
The OmegaTOF platform features all of the latest technologies of the Shimadzu MALDI-8020 platform, including an integrated barcode reader, patented TrueClean™ source cleaning, and WideBore™ ion optics technologies. The patented WideBore™ technology significantly reduces contamination from desorbed MALDI samples. The near normal (on-axis) incidence of the MALDI laser beam and the camera view produce outstanding efficiency of the MALDI source and high-quality sample images. The TrueClean™ in-vacuum technology offers a UV laser-based source cleaning which extends the robustness of the OmegaTOF by self-cleaning the ion optics without breaking vacuum or removing the ion optics.
OmegaTOF data can be directly imported into the latest versions of CovalX ComplexTracker software for protein interaction analysis. Tailored MALDI Solutions acquisition software features data security for regulatory compliance facilitated with password-controlled user login, encrypted data, and user traceability.

King Garbage Releases New Album 'Heavy Metal Greasy Love'
The group recently won a GRAMMY for their work with Jon Batiste.
Contemporary American soul band King Garbage have a lot to celebrate this week. Not only are they now GRAMMY® Award-winners for their work on Jon Batiste's album We Are, but they also released their highly-acclaimed sophomore album, Heavy Metal Greasy Love on Ipecac Recordings.
The album, along with pre-release singles "Busy On A Saturday Night," "Monster Truck" and "Peanut Butter Kisses," caught the ears of Rolling Stone, KCRW, PopMatters, Guitar World, Bandcamp, and the band has beeen featured on tastemaker playlists including "Today's Indie Rock" on Spotify.
Longtime friends and Zach Cooper and Vic Dimotsis have quietly impacted pop, R&B, and hip-hop with production credits for everyone from The Weeknd and SZA to Ellie Goulding, Gallant and Billy Porter. They initially reared their two heads as King Garbage on 2017's Make It Sweat, tallying millions of streams and earning acclaim from Wonderland Magazine and Paste Magazine who hailed it as "a grin-inducing collection of modern R&B and funk."
On April 1, King Garbage released their second full-length and Ipecac Records debut, Heavy Metal Greasy Love.
"It's a taste of retro without being a reproduction," observes Vic. "Love and life are very sweet, bitter, and heavy. You're going to need big tires and a dense frame to cross the desert life can give you. The name felt right. The music is crispy, searing, spacious, sandy, and welded with perfect dimes at the seams. If you read anything about history, you can fall in love with its brutality. Nature is the most metal, always at war with itself and never asking 'Why?' when change comes. I believe if you live long enough, the crushing weight and terrible beauty begin to hold hands, and an appreciation is reached, or at least an understanding. This was the best way to describe the album as well as what we see in the world. Love, nature, past, present, and future."
They found this parity through prolificity. In 2021, Vic and Zach co-wrote "Sing" for Jon Batiste's We Are. It gathered eight GRAMMY® Award nominations and won "Album of the Year." They also penned "Sweeter" [feat. Terrace Martin] on Leon Bridges's Gold-Diggers Sound, which notched a GRAMMY® nod in the category of "Best R&B Album."
In the midst of this creative whirlwind, the duo turned to King Garbage, finding the perfect time to return.
"It's the right time, because it's been about five years since the last album," adds Vic. "We were lucky enough to have successes with Leon and Jon. In entertainment, it doesn't hurt to have stuff to brag about during press releases," he laughs. "We were also insanely lucky to have met Mr. Mike Patton and be given a chance to work with Ipecac. We had been drawn to Ipecac since we were young, so it seemed natural to respect the very source that had inspired us in the first place."
Breaking from the "rough and ruddy" vibe of Make It Sweat, King Garbage incorporated a rock 'n' roll spirit within this soul sphere. Last year they teased the album with "Piper" and "Peanut Butter Kisses" before revealing their brand new single "Busy On A Saturday Night." On the track, vocals hum barely above a whisper as clean guitar wraps around horns before the high register hook takes hold. It ends on a crescendo straight out of a sixties cop show.
"It's a hazy, drunkenly plaintive ballad," Zach notes. "The drums really shine on this tune. They're unhinged and wandering."
In the end, Heavy Metal Greasy Love is as smooth as King Garbage are.
"If just one person would listen and come away with less fear, less rigidity, more human spirit, and a respect for the unknown, it's worth it," Vic leaves off. "Maybe you think, 'Well, if these bozos are taking chances and making what they want under the name King Garbage, what could I do with my idea or dreams?'"

Kerry captain Anna Galvin has admitted that the Kingdom have worked hard on shedding any inferiority complex that may have burdened them.
Referencing Meath's remarkable rise up through the ranks, which culminated in All-Ireland senior success in 2021 following wins over Cork and Dublin, Galvin described it as inspirational.
She acknowledged that Kerry probably viewed neighbours Cork and the four-in-a-row All-Ireland winning Dubs team as virtually unbeatable in the past but said they are now 'putting that to bed'.
Kerry will secure promotion to Division 1 on Sunday if, following defeats in the 2019 and 2021 Division 2 finals, they overcome Armagh on Sunday.
Beyond that, they will face Tipperary in a Munster semi-final on May 8 with a potential provincial final clash against Cork seven days later.
"There can be the perception that Dublin and Cork are, you know, sometimes it's been said in the past, or we've said it in the past about ourselves, that we see Dublin and Cork and we automatically are defeated in our minds but I think we're really putting that to bed now," said Galvin.
"We've worked a lot in the last couple of years on putting that to bed anyway, over the last two or three years with all the new girls coming in, just making sure that they don't have that sense and then when Meath go ahead and do it, do what they did, that definitely sets a good precedent."
Kerry lost last year's Division 2 final to Meath, the same Meath team that went on to win the All-Ireland, taking out Cork and Dublin in the process. Meath beat Cork again in this year's league while Donegal took down Dublin in the semi-finals.
"Definitely nobody is indestructible," said Galvin. "The top two teams in the country will still make mistakes. We look at them and they're kind of machines, they're class, but then there's kinks in that machine too."
Returning Kerry to the summit of the game is Galvin's long-term goal and her commitment can't be faulted. The occupational therapist is based in Dublin, five hours from her home in south Kerry, and outlined exactly what answering her county's call means in real terms.
"Whenever I have to travel from Dublin to Kerry for training, I work out of a hub in Limerick, so I travel down as far as Limerick, work from there, then it's just an hour to training," she explained.
"When I was studying to do occupational therapy, I was covering miles from Laois and Tuam and stuff, I was in different placements and it definitely was tough on the mind at times."
Returning to Division 1 for the first time since 2018 is a priority. "I don't know how many times I've said it over the last few years, we need to get out of Division 2. It's hard to compete in the senior championship from Division 2. I know Meath literally did it last year but typically it's hard to compete when you're playing Division 2 teams."

Concierge Auctions Announces Official Closing of World-Record Breaking $141M-Plus Sale of America’s Largest Residence
‘The One’ in Bel Air, California has sold in cooperation with Aaron Kirman of Compass and Branden and Rayni Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, April 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Concierge Auctions is pleased to announce the official U.S. Bankruptcy Court approval and closing of The One in Bel Air, California, America’s largest residence.
After a competitive field of bidder activity, the auction closed on March 3rd for a final price over $141 million, more than double the highest U.S. sale at auction and nearly 50% higher than the world record. In cooperation with multibillion-dollar producing international real estate agents Aaron Kirman of Aaron Kirman Group at Compass and Branden and Rayni Williams of Williams & Williams at The Beverly Hills Estates, the sale marks Concierge Auctions’ fifth consecutive World Record for the highest price ever achieved for a residence at auction.
“After years in the making, the sale of ‘The One’ ultimately concluded with six weeks of intense global marketing exposure leading to a qualified field of bidders to solidify the new owner of this once-in-a-lifetime property,” said Kirman. “We look forward to seeing what this property will become and working with Concierge Auctions on our next property together.”
“With an exceedingly small group of potential buyers for a property of this caliber at the onslaught of the auction, the ultimate goal was to run a thoughtful sale process that would maximize value, reach, and speed,” said Lawrence Perkins or SierraConstellation, Crestlloyd’s Manager. “By hiring both expert international brokers and the leading luxury real estate auction marketplace in the world, the teams were able to collaborate, execute, and achieve an outcome that has previously taken years to accomplish—all in just six weeks.”
An estate for the ages, The One is a work of art set on 3.8 acres with breathtaking, 360-degree panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, downtown Los Angeles, and the San Gabriel Mountains. The property is spread over a jaw-dropping 105,000-square-feet with every imaginable mega-resort style amenity, including five vast pools, a private nightclub, full-service beauty salon, wellness spa, 10,000-square-foot sky deck, 400-foot private outdoor running track, private Dolby Digital theater, and much more.
“We're routinely asked to do the remarkable, which is to sell one of a kind properties in the most time efficient manner possible. Our platform does that with precision," stated Concierge Auctions President, Chad Roffers. "We delivered what the seller and buyer wanted—a time-certain and efficient sale. In a world of limited inventory and multiple offers, our platform is the most efficient way to connect buyers and sellers.”
"The sale of The One was witnessing history in the making. This has been a three-year labor of love, with ups and downs but that's why this sale means even more to us,” stated Rayni Williams. “The One redefined mansions in L.A. and became an icon through headlines around the globe. Representing both the buyer and seller on this sale was a career highlight we will never forget. With the dedication of my co-listers and team, we were able to find the perfect buyer for The One."
"I'm very grateful to have been a part of this journey. The sale of The One is one of the highest sales so far in 2022, and we were honored to be involved on both sides,” added Branden Williams.
As part of Concierge Auctions' Key for Key® giving program in partnership with Giveback Homes, the closing will result in a new home built for a family in need.

SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — Katia Lolia said she couldn’t believe how simple it was for her mother and sister to obtain humanitarian visas and enter the U.S. through Ped West, one of the pedestrian crossings at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
Lolia lives in Salt Lake City but met her family members in Mexico City a few days ago.
Together they flew to Tijuana.
Her mother and sister spent a day in a shelter before being bused to the border and allowed to cross into the U.S.
“We’re very thankful it’s a very easy process for Ukrainians,” said Lolia, adding that the process was made easy by a network of volunteers from the moment they arrived at Tijuana’s airport.
“The Ukrainian volunteers with Ukrainian flags, they meet you at the airport and they register you they give every person a number,” she said.
Many of the volunteers are from north of the border and are providing transportation services for the migrants, the majority of whom fled Ukraine after Russia launched an attack on their county. They also find them a place to stay or take them to a shelter recently opened by the city of Tijuana.
“They are so nice, they even have music concerts for the migrants at the shelter,” said Lolia, whose mother and sister were taken by bus to the border where they crossed Thursday morning and got their visas.
Lolia met them on the north side of the border crossing as they came out.
“They’re allowed to stay in the United States for one year and who knows what it’s going to be in a year, if there’s still a war, they are allowed to extend, if the war is over they have to come back,” she said.
Pastor Phil Metzger, one of the volunteers, said they have lost track of how many Ukrainians have been helped, he believes it’s well over 2,000.
“We try to grab them right away at the airport to make sure people don’t get lost or get picked up by the wrong people that have other motives,” said Metzger. “We give them a number, we get them into digital system to track them all the way until they get across the border right here.”
Metzger says every migrant has one thing in common as they make it across the border.
“They’re tired, kind of scared but they’re feeling really welcomed, they come to be free and to be able to get out is a big deal.”
Metzger told Border Report that aside from the city of Tijuana making the shelter available, volunteers are providing almost all the resources to help the migrants.
But he is worried as more and more migrants arrive in Tijuana, their efforts might fall short.
“It’s been working, but the numbers now are too much, it’s overwhelming the system, it’s overwhelming all of us, they’ve got a lot of people over there right now.”

Gov. Abbott to discuss end of Title 42 during return to South Texas
McALLEN, Texas ( Border Report ) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is planning a trip to the South Texas border on Wednesday to discuss border security in light of the Biden administration’s plans to lift Title 42.
Abbott will hold an afternoon news conference in Weslaco, Texas, at the regional headquarters of the Texas Department of Public Safety, his office announced.
End of Title 42 will ‘open floodgates to illegal migration’He is to be joined by DPS Director Steve McCraw, Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd and Adjutant General of Texas Maj. Gen. Thomas Suelzer, the new leader of the Texas Military and Texas National Guard.
These are the main leaders for Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, a state-funded border security initiative in which 10,000 National Guard troops have been stationed on the border to help with what Abbott calls a “border crisis.”
The state also is building its own state-funded section of border wall in remote Starr County in the Rio Grande Valley, a section of which is nearly 2 miles long.
UPDATE: 1st section of Texas-built border wall nearly done in Starr County“President Biden’s open-border policies are an unmitigated disaster for national security,” Abbott said in a statement Friday after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that Title 42 would end on May 23.
Title 42 is a public health law re-enacted by the Trump administration in March 2020 to help prevent the coronavirus pandemic from spreading across international borders between Mexico, Canada and the United States. Migrants and asylum-seekers who try to cross land borders have been sent back for two years citing the threat to public health.
But many border leaders fear that thousands of migrants could try to cross into the United States via the southern border once Title 42 is lifted.
Divided reactions to the end of Title 42 by migrant advocates and border community leadersWhile migrant advocates praise the decision and say it was just a way to keep migrants out of the United States and they repeatedly had urged President Joe Biden to revoke the law.
“Instead of listening to the millions of Americans that his administration has endangered—and instead of enforcing immigration laws passed by Congress—President Biden has chosen to jeopardize the safety and security of those very Americans he swore to protect and defend by ending Title 42 expulsions,” Abbott said. “Ending Title 42 expulsions will signal to cartels and migrants alike that our southern border is now wide open—inciting even more violence, more trafficking, and more lawlessness.”
Border Report plans to be at Abbott’s Wednesday news conference and will update with a story.

(The Center Square) – Interest rates should substantially increase to control inflation, but the leader of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis believes regional and national economic conditions are good.
“In the last five or six months, you’ve got this kind of ‘holy cow’ feature to the inflation that we really have to get on,” Jim Bullard, president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, said during a presentation Thursday at the University of Missouri-Columbia. “Combined with the policy rate being all the way down at zero – it wasn’t like the policy rate was 2% or 3% – we had to go higher from there. We’re still all the way at zero, so this confluence of events has really put us in a tough position and we’re really going to have to move now to get this under control.”
Bullard said inflation is “a mess that we haven’t seen in 40 years,” and the Fed’s benchmark interest rate needs to increase to 3.5% from the current 0.5%. He said the credibility of the Fed’s forward guidance is influencing the market to raise interest rates, especially for mortgages. The current rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage is around 4.8%.
“We’re getting close to 5%,” Bullard said. “The mortgage market is obviously long-term borrowing. They are up sharply, and the Fed has barely lifted a finger.”
He acknowledged higher rates and inflation would present more challenges for low- and moderate-income households. However, he said higher rates are needed to prevent embedded inflation.
“Lower-income people are getting hit the hardest right now,” Bullard said. “Wages are increasing, so people think it’s great getting a raise. But it’s not keeping up with inflation, so they’re actually worse off. And some of that happened in the 1970s as well.”
Bullard predicted the unemployment rate would go below 3%, and the labor market will remain strong. He acknowledged labor costs hampered businesses during the pandemic. He also predicted those who retired as the pandemic peaked wouldn’t return to work. Likewise, a family’s potential second wage earner – one who quit their job to stay home during the pandemic – will gradually return to work.
“We are pulling people back into the labor force, but that’s a slow process,” Bullard said. “It’s not something that’s occurring at a high enough frequency to help us with the inflation dimension. … I do think it’s a sensational labor market from the point of view of somebody that’s been marginalized and is looking for work. This is a great time to get out there and get a match or encourage somebody that has had trouble. You could set yourself up for the next five years or more.”
Bullard stated the Fed needs to accomplish two goals – keep inflation low and prevent the U.S. economy from entering a recession. He also reminded the audience the Fed has a statutory mandate to provide stable prices in the U.S. economy.
Bullard said economic growth in the first quarter was slowed by the spread of the omicron variant but predicted more robust growth for the remainder of the year as more businesses reopen after the pandemic. He said the economic impact of the war in Ukraine must be monitored, but it shouldn’t hinder any action from controlling inflation.
“Obviously, it will have some impact on the U.S., but it will have a bigger impact on Europe,” Bullard said. “Altogether, Europe is a bigger economy than the U.S. So it would matter a lot if Europe went into recession.”

Ex-President Park endorses key aide for Daegu mayor
SEOUL, April 8 (Yonhap) -- Former President Park Geun-hye openly endorsed a key aide for mayor of her hometown of Daegu in June's local elections Friday, in her first political move since returning to her hometown last month following a presidential pardon.
Park, who was pardoned in December after spending four years and nine months in prison on a 22-year sentence for corruption, appeared in a YouTube video to declare her support to lawyer Yoo Yeong-ha of the People Power Party (PPP), who is considered her closest aide.
"Yoo stood by my side in the past five years that was most difficult, painful time for me," Park said. "Although I have not realized all the dreams that I wanted to realize, I believe Yoo will achieve them on behalf of me in my hometown and his hometown Daegu."
The move came two weeks after she was discharged from a hospital and returned to her hometown for the first time since her imprisonment. The former president then said she plans to contribute "whatever little strength I have" to help talented people work for the development of Daegu and the country.
Park's endorsement is expected to have some impact on the mayoral election as she has commanded strong support of voters in Daegu, a stronghold of the conservative PPP.
Besides Yoo, veteran lawmaker Hong Joon-pyo, who previously ran for the PPP's presidential primary, and former PPP supreme council member Kim Jae-won are among the contenders for Daegu mayor.

Envirotech Vehicles debuts first, final assembled vehicles
OSCEOLA, Ark. (KAIT) - The first final assembled electric vehicles from the Envirotech Vehicles in Osceola made their debut to the public Thursday morning.
People were able to test-drive models like the right-hand drive vehicles to feel the difference between electric vehicles and gas-powered vehicles.
CEO Phillip Oldridge said assembling the vehicles takes up to 3 months from start to finish.
“If you start from the beginning and you run through to the end, it’s about 120 days from start to finish,” he said. “You might be able to expedite that process if you worked a little bit more than an 8-hour day.”
Oldridge said he anticipates seeing companies in Arkansas convert to electric, adding some might be hesitant because the vehicles take up 220 miles per charge.
“Last-mile delivery seems to run to 75 to 125 miles,” he said. “As far as range anxiety goes, I think we’re well past that. If you need a vehicle to go more than that, we simply have the capability of doing that.”
Oldridge said the Osceola facility will take up to two years to complete.

'I want my film to show that queer South Asians are thriving'
By Michael Baggs
Newsbeat reporter
- Published
"What would it look like for someone who is queer, South Asian and brown to get married? What would it look like for an elder, queer, South Asian to come out?"
These are some of the questions 29-year-old Shiva Raichandani asked themselves when making their first short film, Queer Parivaar.
Shiva - who's non-binary and uses they/them pronouns - also wanted to do something more with the film, something they didn't see much of on-screen and in stories about LGBTQ+ people of colour.
"A lot of our narratives tend to be really bleak, and just sad. We don't get to see things that give people joy," they tell Radio 1 Newsbeat.
Parivaar means family in Hindi, and the film is about an LGBTQ+ couple whose wedding is gatecrashed by someone from their past.
Queer has been used as a slur in the past, but today is used by many LGBTQ+ people as an umbrella term to describe their identity or refer to their community.
Queer Parivaar is an explosion of colour, humour and love that celebrates the idea of family - both blood relatives, and the chosen family many LGBTQ+ people surround themselves with.
It premiered at this year's BFI Flare, a major LGBTQ+ film festival, that was held in London in March.
Shiva, who Britain's Got Talent viewers may have seen in 2017 with the London School of Bollywood, and Marvel fans will have glimpsed in scenes alongside Kumail Nanjiani in 2021's Eternals, was inspired by their own experience as a non-binary South Asian person when co-writing the film.
"It does draw upon a lot of personal experiences, especially aspects around gender dysphoria, sometimes not feeling comfortable in who you are, how you present yourself and how society expects you to present yourself or be.
"Those are things that I still grapple with and still find it difficult to deal with."
Gender dysphoria is described by the NHS as "unease that a person may have because of a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity."
"Growing up, I didn't see getting married, finding love - all of those things as real possibilities," Shiva adds.
"So, putting stories out there which can tell people that you're valid, your love is valid - all of that matters."
'Parents don't understand queerness'
As a musical, the film is also heavily influenced by traditional Asian music and dance, which is something Shiva leant into heavily as they were growing up, before feeling comfortable and confident enough to embrace their gender identity.
"Because I couldn't address my queerness so much, my Asian side took precedence and I relied on that more than my queer side until I was able to then find the ways in which I could navigate my queerness," Shiva says.
"But my Asian-ness has held so much importance to me. And so showing that aspect of the culture was really important."
Shiva says that when they first came out to their family they were "confused", but says it was something "they weren't prepared for, or didn't know how to address".
"As a parent, you don't have the reference or understanding of what queerness is, you have this very narrow perception of this heteronormative lifestyle that you hope for your child. For them to grapple with that not being the reality, it was difficult."
Shiva says their family's first response was "how do we fix this" and to worry about shame.
"It took quite some time for them to process and to grieve, which is fair enough. Then they learned how to be a parent that is supportive, an ally and a huge champion, which they have become now.
"It's a huge privilege, one that I recognise isn't always the case for a lot of us."
Now Shiva hopes to have a viewing of the film for their parents in Indonesia - but hopes for something a little more grand than just sending them a streaming link to watch on a laptop, and would like to arrange a special screening.
Like the best Bollywood-inspired films, music drives the narrative in Queer Parivaar, and here the soundtrack is provided by young LGBTQ+ artists such as Leo Kalyan and MNEK, alongside more traditional South Asian music from Oscar-nominated singer Bombay Jayashri.
Shiva says they want people who see the film to see that "queer South Asians are thriving" and that "there is life beyond the trauma".
But despite being a film about queer lives, and queer South Asian lives in particular, Shiva says the themes explored are entirely universal.
"It's all about love, identity, navigating life with the struggles and all the layers of your intersectionality.
"Whether it's your race, your ethnicity, your skin colour, your queerness, your age - it's all that stuff."

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — After years of neglect, vandalism and even fire, preliminary development plans have been revealed for two dilapidated but historic cottages across from La Jolla Cove.
Development firm Alcorn & Benton has submitted plans to the city rehabilitate the cottages, called Red Rest and Red Roost, into commercial uses. Additionally, they plan to build an eight-unit, four story condo building with underground parking.
In a statement, the firm said the project would aim to preserve the integrity and unique aspects of what it called a unique and complex site.
"We are in preliminary stages of contemplating a long-term course of action for the Red Roost, Red Rest, and surrounding property," the statement said. "We will be reaching out to the community to engage in a thoughtful process before proceeding with any projects or updates to the property."
Built in 1894, the city declared the cottages historic in 1976 -- meaning the owner, the late Jack Heimburge -- who owned the adjacent La Jolla Cove Hotel, couldn't redevelop them into apartments. He instead let them fall into disrepair. In his will, Heimburge split the ownership among his heirs. An ensuing legal battle over the property finally settling in 2018.
And if clearing that road block to redevelopment wasn't enough, one of the cottages mysteriously caught fire in 2020. All the while, questions circulated about what was next.
"I hope they can restore it so that it's something back to the original state, or at least close to that," said Bridgette Carmody, who works in La Jolla. "It just looks like a termite building right now."
On Thursday, one of the cottages was still charred from the 2020 fire, while another was covered in a tarp. The city says it will consider the proposal at a future public hearing.

State oversight board says safeguards in place to protect inmates, but they are not being followed
Highly critical audit of San Diego County jails recommended strengthening welfare check and mental health screens
An independent agency that sets standards for the operation of California’s county jails and juvenile detention facilities weighed in Thursday on a recent state audit of San Diego County jails.
Members of the Board of State and Community Corrections listened to a brief presentation on the audit, released in February, which found San Diego jails have the highest mortality rate among California’s large counties.
The audit recommended that the board implement new regulations, including requiring that mental health evaluations conducted during the booking process be performed by mental health professionals and clarifying the rules governing inmate safety checks.
“The problems we identified with the Sheriff’s Department’s policies are in part the result of statewide corrections standards that are not sufficiently robust,” the audit said.
Katie Howard, the board’s executive director, described the subject of the audit — deaths in county jails — as “a very, very serious and difficult issue,” but pushed back on the claim that the board’s regulations are lacking.
Howard said the board agreed that mental health screenings in jails are “vitally important,” but questioned whether it was feasible, especially for small jail systems, to have a mental health professional available around the clock.
“There has to be a framework that has reasonable requirements that counties can actually carry out,” she said.
As for safety checks, she said the guidelines in place were sufficient. Those guidelines say that checks are to be conducted “at least hourly” and include “direct visual observation of all inmates.”
The issue, Howard said, is whether jailers are following the guidelines. The audit of San Diego jails described “multiple instances in which staff spent no more than one second glancing into the individuals’ cells, sometimes without breaking stride, as they walked through the housing module.”
Inadequate safety checks could result in deputies failing to notice someone in medical distress until it is too late.
“These kinds of things are concerning, there’s no question about it,” Howard said. “The deficiency appears to lie in how the facilities are operating.”
She noted that the audit cited Riverside County’s safety check procedures as a model — supervisors are required to regularly review videos of safety checks to ensure deputies are conducting them properly — and that perhaps the board could add language to its standards to require similar oversight.
Andrew Mills, a board member and police chief of the city of Palm Springs, said the audit should have cast a more critical eye on systems that have caused so many people with mental illness to end up in jail.
“I feel like we’re jumping at solutions without analyzing the problem,” Mills said. “What we have done is try to incarcerate our way out of the mental health crisis.
“There’s only so much that can be done at intake,” he added. “The experience for many police and sheriffs is we’re continually going (arresting) the same people over and over again and it’s a great deal of frustration because there is no solution.”
In March, several state lawmakers introduced the “Saving Lives in Custody Act” legislation that, if enacted, will require the corrections board to add a licensed health care provider and a licensed mental health care provider as board members and develop new standards related to the care of mentally ill inmates, “including requirements for training of correctional staff, requirements for mental health screening, and requirements for safety checks of at-risk inmates” starting July 1, 2023.
During a brief public comment period, Malcolm Morgan from the local advocacy organization Pillars of the Community, said mental health care in San Diego County jails needs an overhaul. He urged the board to adopt new policies quickly.
“I’ve been inside the San Diego County jails as an inmate and I’ve seen the way mentally ill people are treated,” he said. “We can’t wait while people sit in there and just rot away and deteriorate mentally.”

Inside Film
Great Expectations: Can any modern take on Dickens stand up to David Lean’s 1946 masterpiece?
‘Peaky Blinders’ creator Steven Knight is the latest filmmaker to take a stab at adapting the Charles Dickens classic, following the likes of Alfonso Cuarón and Mike Newell. But does working under the looming shadow of Lean’s version make it a fool’s errand, asks Geoffrey Macnab
The poster for Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón’s 1998 modern-day, US-set adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations is very revealing. There are no bonnets or brooches. The artwork is instead dominated by a recumbent, naked Gwyneth Paltrow – playing Estella – looking towards the camera with an enigmatic expression on her face. Beneath her, you can see the film’s Miss Havisham character, renamed here as Nora Dinsmoor and played by Anne Bancroft. She is not in a dusty wedding dress but looking very much like Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard, complete with cigarette holder. In the corner, there is a murky image of the convict Magwitch (Robert De Niro), scowling like a heavy from Goodfellas.
For Cuarón, Dickens’ story was at least partly about erotic obsession. Pip (Ethan Hawke), the young lad from a humble background trying to make his way in society, felt much the same way about Estella as Michael Douglas had about Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct a few years before. “You can’t make a love story set in present times without the dynamic of sex,” Cuarón once said. “I wanted to tell the story from an erotic and sensuous viewpoint.”
Cuarón’s Great Expectations wasn’t very well received. Sex and Dickens aren’t a comfortable fit. Of course, the sex is already there in the Victorian novelist’s work but it is very deeply sublimated. Cuarón was considered to have defied good taste and tradition by featuring it so explicitly. The New York Times called his approach “bold and vulgar” and suggested his version of the story was “one Charles Dickens would barely recognise”. Cuarón himself later disowned the movie. “That is a film that I should have not done,” he said. “I passed many times, and then I ended up saying yes for the wrong reasons.”

A Niagara Falls mother who shared naked images of her two small children with a man in California will return to court in June to learn her fate.
The 30-year-old woman, who cannot be identified in order to protect the identities of her children, appeared in Ontario Court of Justice in St. Catharines on Thursday and pleaded guilty to charges of making child pornography, distributing child pornography and impaired driving.
In September 2020, court heard, Niagara Regional Police received information from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that an individual had been exchanging images of child pornography with a man in California via Facebook and text.
Police executed a search warrant at a Niagara Falls residence and seized electronic devices which contained images of the woman’s six-year-old son and seven-year-old daughter.
The images met the definition of child pornography under the Criminal Code.
Court heard the woman began chatting online with the U.S. man in 2019.
He encouraged the woman to molest her son on camera and send him the pictures.
The woman, who had no prior criminal record, complied and also sent the man images of both her children.
The man was also arrested as a result of an investigation by U.S. authorities.
In an unrelated matter, the defendant pleaded guilty to impaired driving after an employee at the LCBO store on Oakwood Drive called police in March to report a woman passed out in a car in the parking lot.
When police attempted to rouse the woman, she unsuccessfully attempted to put the key in the ignition.
A subsequent breath test determined she had three times the legal limit of alcohol in her system.
The offender, who has had a third child since her arrest, is scheduled to return to court in June for sentencing.

West Ham 1-1 Lyon: Ten-man Hammers earn first-leg draw
Thursday 7 April 2022
Article summary
West Ham overcame the sending-off of Aaron Cresswell to draw their first leg with Lyon.
Article top media content
Article body
Tanguy Ndombélé grabbed the leveller as Lyon had to come from behind to earn a 1-1 draw against ten-man West Ham in London.
Key moments
45'+3 Aaron Cresswell sent off for foul on Moussa Dembélé
52' Jarrod Bowen fires West Ham ahead
68' Tanguy Ndombélé taps Lyon level
Match in brief: Hammers hold on with ten men
The two teams largely cancelled each other out in the first period, but deep into stoppage time the Hammers were dealt a blow when Aaron Cresswell was shown a straight red card for pulling back Moussa Dembélé.
Lyon started the second half well but were stunned when Jarrod Bowen took advantage of a mistake at the back to clip in the opener, via a deflection off Jérôme Boateng.
However, the visitors were soon back in the ascendancy and levelled when substitute Tetê's low cross hit Ryan Fredericks and presented Ndombélé with a simple finish.
As it happened: West Ham 1-1 LyonJoseph Terry, match reporter
After a first half spent sizing Lyon up, the complexion of the tie was completely changed with Cresswell's red card, but even though they let a lead slip, West Ham can be very proud of their performance. Indeed, they would surely have taken this scoreline at half-time. They were disciplined and committed throughout the second half, restricting their opponents to remarkably few chances. Peter Bosz will probably rue letting such a good chance slip to kill off this tie. A full-strength West Ham will be confident of beating Lyon next week in France.
Semi-finals: 28 April and 5 May
Leipzig / Atalanta vs Braga / Rangers
West Ham / Lyon vs Frankfurt / Barcelona
Reaction
David Moyes, West Ham manager, speaking to UEFA.com: "That was an incredibly good, resilient performance in the second half. It wasn't a good performance overall, I didn't like the way my team played, but when you go down to ten men, I think you have to praise my players for getting a draw out of the game."
Peter Bosz, Lyon manager, speaking to UEFA.com: "Absolutely [I'm disappointed] because I think we played a good first half; in their stadium we were dominant and had a lot of ball possession. Then if you play against ten, normally you should win the game."
Jarrod Bowen, West Ham forward, speaking to BT Sport: "The manager said at half-time to keep our heads. It was a case of staying in the game. We did, went 1-0 up and it was then just about defending the lead. It was always going to be difficult. It is still all to play for."
Key stats
- West Ham have scored in their last 11 matches at home in all competitions, last drawing a blank against Dinamo Zagreb on Matchday 6.
- Lyon are unbeaten in their nine UEFA Europa League matches this season (W6 D3).
- Aaron Cresswell's red card was the first ever for a West Ham player in European competition (excluding qualifiers).
Line-ups
West Ham: Areola; Fredericks, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Souček, Rice, Fornals; Bowen, Antonio, Benrahma (Johnson 46)
Lyon: Lopes; Gusto, Boateng (Toko Ekambi 64), Lukeba, Emerson; Mendes (Denayer 90), Ndombélé; Aouar, Lucas Paquetá, Faivre (Tetê 64); Dembélé
Where is the 2022 Europa League final?
Sevilla's Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium will stage the final on Wednesday 18 May.
The winners gain a place in the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League group stage, if they have not qualified via their domestic competition.

Among the nearly 3,000 who witnessed the installation of Archbishop Shelton J. Fabre as the fifth Archbishop of Louisville March 30, were directors of various archdiocesan offices who said they are encouraged by his message of working together.
During his first homily as the Archbishop of Louisville, Archbishop Fabre said the Archdiocese of Louisville is not a building on Poplar Level Road but “it’s people; it’s you and me and all of us together. … We are in this together.”
M. Annette Mandley-Turner, executive director of the Office of Multicultural Ministry, who attended the installation with
her family, said the event was “truly a gift from God.”
“My grandkids witnessed that. My daughter was there. The multicultural community was there,” she said. “The experience was life-giving. So many people could be heard saying, ‘Look how blessed we are,’ and I too uttered those words.” Mandley-Turner’s daughter Kenya Turner served as a lector at the installation Mass.
Mandley-Turner said she was pleased to hear the archbishop’s message of unity, as well as his desire to work on important issues, such as racial injustice, an issue he mentioned specifically in his homily.
“The installation said to the metro area that we can do this together. This meant here at home in our Catholic church we have growth opportunities around racial injustices, evangelization and education,” she said.
“In the larger community, we have growth opportunities as partners in making this community one where all are welcomed,” she said. “The church isn’t separate. We don’t live in isolation. We’re part of the fabric of this entire community.”
During his homily, Archbishop Fabre said the archdiocese is facing “unique circumstances,” including poverty, which he called the local church to work on together.
Within the Archdiocese of Louisville, the needs of impoverished people have steadily increased. Catholic Charities of Louisville’s Sister Visitor Center reported April 5 that the need for food nearly tripled in 2021. The charity served 517 individuals in January 2021; in December 2021 it served 1,433 individuals. The center, located on West Market Street, serves people in the Russell, Portland and Shawnee neighborhoods.
Lisa DeJaco Crutcher, who serves as CEO of Catholic Charities of Louisville, attended the installation and said it was a “wonderful ceremony.”
“Archbishop Fabre seems to put a real emphasis on caring for one another,” she said, adding that it was significant to her that he mentioned the issue of poverty in his installation homily. “It’s exciting that he has this aspect of the church at the heart of his philosophy. … I’m very excited to get to know our new archbishop and introduce him to the work we’re doing and get to hear from him about his sense of where we should be. Maybe there are things he’s seen elsewhere that he may like us to begin.”
DeJaco Crutcher noted Archbishop Fabre is on the board of Catholic Relief Services and said “that’s really exciting. It gives me hope to hear he’s been involved in the church’s charitable work so intensively in the past.”
Art Turner, director of the archdiocese’s Office of Faith Formation, said the installation was moving and that he appreciated Archbishop Fabre’s message.
“I loved the fact that it wasn’t about him, but about Jesus Christ. He’s setting the right tone,” said Turner. “I appreciate the sense of ‘we’ll be doing this together.’ He was laying out for us the sense that as a church ‘I won’t tell you what to do,’ we’ll walk this journey together.”
Archbishop Fabre noted in a February interview following his announcement as the new archbishop, that education — both in Catholic schools and in the parishes — is important to him.
Turner said, “I’m very excited Archbishop Fabre named formation and education as priorities. I’m eager to learn if he has a vision or if it’s something we’ll work on together.”
The fact that the archbishop mentioned education in parishes “looks like a nod to religious education for kids (who are) not in Catholic schools. That’s a very good sign,” said Turner, adding that he’s ready to implement the archbishop’s vision, whatever it may be.
Among others who attended the installation were Dr. Mary Beth Bowling, superintendent of Catholic Schools, as well as numerous educators and groups of students from elementary and high schools in the archdiocese.
Bowling said the archbishop’s message of unity “struck” her because it aligns with her office’s vision for Catholic schools.
“Earlier in the school year, we focused on what we called the Be-Atitudes of our ministry as teachers,” she said. They came up with three, including “Be-Invitational,” which, she noted, speaks to the archbishop’s message of “we are all in this together.”
Bowling said the hope of the Catholic Schools Office is to “support his vision in a way that gives more life to our parish, church and school communities,” she said.
“I’d like to explore his vision and how that connects with what we’re doing. ‘We are in this together,’ I truly believe that. The more we work together the better we’ll all be in moving forward with the mission,” she said.
Archbishop Fabre’s episcopal motto, “Comfort My People,” also resonates as her office seeks ways to provide “comfort and resources” to students, teachers and staff who are dealing with the “social and emotional struggles” caused by the pandemic, she added.

(WJW) – Consumers are alleging a popular breakfast cereal is making them sick.
More than 100 people posted to IWasPoisoned.com, claiming General Mills’ Lucky Charms caused them to experience a variety of gastrointestinal issues. The site calls itself a “consumer-led website for diners to report suspected food poisoning or bad food experiences.”
On the go with KHON 2GO, KHON’s morning podcast, every morning at 8
Consumers on the website complained of nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and overall feelings of sickness.
The Food and Drug Administration has responded to the reports, stating the agency is aware of the complaints and is looking into the matter.
The FDA has its own system to track consumer complaints, called a CAERS database. That database has received 41 reports related to Lucky Charms since 2004, the FDA said.
Only three of those reports were received in 2021 and only one was “related to the complaints listed in IWasPoisoned.com,” the FDA said.
In a statement sent to Nexstar, General Mills said it was taking the complaints “very seriously.”
“After a thorough internal investigation, we have not found any evidence that these complaints are attributed to our products,” said Andrea Williamson, a company spokesperson. “We encourage consumers to please share any concerns directly with General Mills to ensure they can be appropriately addressed.”
When the FDA starts an investigation, “Depending on the seriousness of the problem, an FDA investigator may visit the person who made the complaint, collect product samples, and initiate inspections,” the agency said in a statement.
In less serious cases, “or those that appear to be isolated incidents,” the FDA monitors incoming information and considers inspecting a production facility in the future.
“The FDA takes seriously any reports of possible adulteration of a food that may also cause illnesses or injury,” the FDA’s statement reads, in part.

They have always believed in preserving the originality of their acquired pieces. Their appreciation for vintage trailers began with vintage Airstreams many years ago.

Vintage Airstreams
Their quest for rare and historical examples of Airstreams led them to the monumental find of both a 1936 Airstream Silver Cloud and a 1936 Airstream Silver Cloud Jr. These two 1936 Airstreams are the oldest examples of factory-produced, original, Masonite-sided Airstreams known to exist.
1936 Airstream Silver Cloud
We met the Gulleys when they purchased a one-of-a-kind Gold Airstream that we had rescued and restored. The Gulleys came to one of our Trailerfest Rallies where I introduced him to our friends, Chuck and Toni Miltenberger. The Miltenbergers had saved and restored a 1936 Silver Cloud to perfection. Chuck and Toni had camped in their pre-war trailer for a couple of years and expressed that they wanted it to go to “a good home.” I had just the place in mind. Knowing David’s passion for vintage Airstreams, we were able to make a deal that worked out for both the Miltenbergers and the Gulleys.
1936 Silver Cloud Junior
About a year after delivering the Silver Cloud to David, I mentioned to him that Justin and Anna Scribner (Flyte Camp Trailer Restorations) also had a Masonite Airstream. The Scribners knew it would “need a good home” after its restoration was completed. This trailer was a 1936 Silver Cloud Jr.—the only other original Masonite first-year Airstream known to exist. Knowing Flyte Camp’s reputation for high-quality work, the Gulleys were confident that the Silver Cloud Jr. would be an impressive addition to their collection. They struck a deal with the Scribners and the rest, as they say, is history.
Reunited
After 86 years apart, the two vintage Airstreams, the Silver Cloud Jr. and its big brother, the Silver Cloud, are reunited. The Gulley’s two museum-quality wood and Masonite Airstreams are an important part of Airstream history from its formative years before WWII. The Gulley Museum Collection is currently private. Many of the trailers in the collection are shared regularly in The Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine. The vintage trailer community is close, and all four of the couples mentioned in this piece are friends and camp and rally together.
About the Author: Paul Lacitinola and his wife, Caroline, have published The Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine for ten years. The Lacitinolas also host The Trailerfest Vintage Trailer Rallies and The VCT Boot Camp Restoration Learning Experience. They have authored two books on vintage trailering and are advocates for the hobby from coast to coast.

Sungjae Im leads at Masters; Tiger Woods opens under par
Article content
With the galleries at Augusta National Golf Club following his every move, Tiger Woods made his long-anticipated return to competitive golf and shot a 1-under-par 71 in the first round of the Masters on Thursday, while South Korea’s Sungjae Im reached the top of the leaderboard with a 5-under 67.
Im made an eagle and five birdies to counter two bogeys, beating out the clubhouse leader from the early wave, Cameron Smith of Australia, by one shot.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, 2020 Masters champion Dustin Johnson, 2016 champ Danny Willett of England and Joaquin Niemann of Chile tied for third with rounds of 3-under 69. Patrick Cantlay, Jason Kokrak and Canada’s Corey Conners were tied for seventh after shooting 2-under 70.

Woods’ 71 was good for a tie for 10th, a feat unto itself as he played in his first official event since he was injured in a single-car accident on Feb. 23, 2021. After rehabbing a right leg that required multiple surgeries, Woods made his return to the sport 15 years to the day after his first major victory, a 12-stroke victory at the 1997 Masters.
His highlight came at the par-3 sixth, right after he lipped out a 15-foot birdie try on the previous green. Hitting a 6-iron, he stuck his tee shot 2 feet away from the pin and tapped in for his first birdie of the day.
Woods bogeyed the par-5 eighth after his third shot missed short of the green. He converted a two-putt birdie at the par-5 13th before his tee shot at the next hole missed the fairway badly left, and he was unable to get up and down for par.

At the par-3 16th, the 15-time major champion drained a 29-foot birdie that swept right to left, eliciting his signature fist pump. He returned to 1 under with the putt and saved par on the final two holes, even after a drive into the trees at 18.
“People have no idea how hard it’s been,” Woods said. “My team does. They’ve worked with me every single day. I’ve said this before, we haven’t taken a day off since I got out of the bed after those three months. … So it’s commitment to getting back and commitment to getting back to a level that I feel that I can still do it. I did something positive today.”
Next up for Woods before his Friday afternoon tee time: “Lots of ice baths. Just basically freezing myself to death.”
Im, the Masters runner-up in 2020, birdied his first three holes and added a fourth at No. 7. After missing par putts at both 10 and 11, he completed Amen Corner by reaching the 13th green in two shots and making his 12-footer for eagle.

Im added a birdie at the 15th and nearly holed out from a greenside bunker for birdie at 18. His shot hit the cup and stayed out by mere inches.
Smith, who won The Players Championship last month and moved to No. 6 in the Official World Golf Ranking, signed an unusual card: double bogey 6s on the first and last holes with eight birdies in between. Smith reached 6 under with a string of three birdies at 14-16 and nearly went to the clubhouse with a three-shot lead on the field.
But after a wayward tee shot at No. 18, his second shot hit a tree branch and only traveled 80 yards. He reached the green in three and three-putted.
Smith said he stayed patient after his tough opening hole.
“I love this place. I know it presents plenty of birdies,” Smith said. “I just really had to get in a groove.”

Playing with Woods, Niemann holed out from 105 yards for an eagle 2 at the ninth. His shot spun back over a ridge and directly at the pin. That briefly put him alone in the lead at 3 under, and he recorded one bogey and one birdie the rest of the way.
Scheffler, in his first tournament since moving to No. 1 in the world, made consecutive birdies at Nos. 8 and 9 before sinking a 19-foot birdie at the par-3 12th to join the co-leaders at 3 under. He reached 4 under with another birdie at the par-3 17th but missed the green at 18 and couldn’t get up and down for par.
Johnson made all four of his birdies over the first 10 holes before a bogey at No. 17 and a difficult up-and-down par save at No. 18.
Defending champion Hideki Matsuyama of Japan opened with an even-par 72.

Panasonic drops seven hot colorways of its iconic turntable
You can't go wrong with any of the colors, but they'll be limited to a run of 12,000 globally.
What better way to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the classic SL-1200 turntable than with a brand new paint job — or seven, actually. Panasonic is dropping a very limited run of its Technics SL-1200M7L turntable that is going to be available in black, red, blue, white, green, yellow, beige. As gorgeous as each of these look, you’re going to have to snap these up quick because there will only be 12,000 made in the world.
Panasonic said the colors were chosen to reflect the street culture that’s very much entwined with DJing. The limited edition SL-1200M7Ls will also have a gold-anodized tone arm and a slipmat with a gold Technics logo that adds a nice touch of class. Each of the turntables will have a special badge and a serial number, proving that they’re the real deal.
Rich history — While we’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of the original SL-1200 that was released in 1972, the SL-1200M7L is actually based off the SL-1200MK7 turntable that Panasonic released in 2019. The SL-1200MK7 is the most recent evolution of the classic turntable that’s earned a reputation amongst DJs for being durable and easy to use. But throughout the years, Panasonic really only stuck to gray or black colorways for all the variations of the SL-1200.
Like the SL-1200MK7, the SL-1200M7Ls will have a coreless direct drive motor that makes for a more stable rotation. The Panasonic turntable was built with a two-layer construction for its structure platter to improve its vibration damping and sound reproduction. Panasonic also designed the highly-sensitive tonearm to more accurately read the record’s grooves but also so it can withstand some abuse like with scratching.
Better be quick — The limited edition SL-1200M7Ls are currently available for pre-order for $1,100. Panasonic said they’ll be available from retailers like Guitar Center, B&H, Stokyo, and others and are expecting to ship them out in July.
The last time Panasonic released a limited edition colorway for the SL-1200, they limited it to 1,200 units. The all-black SL-1200GAE that celebrated the 55th anniversary of Technics sold out very quickly, so you can probably expect the same with the SL-1200M7Ls.

During its occupation of the Chernobyl nuclear site, Russia appears to have stationed troops in an area of high radioactive contamination, according to new satellite imagery obtained by NPR from the company Planet.
The decision raises the possibility that Russia exposed its own soldiers to potentially unhealthy levels of radioactivity during its month-plus possession of the defunct nuclear facility.
Experts say the levels are not nearly enough to cause sudden radiation poisoning, but they could potentially elevate the long-term risks of cancer for the soldiers.
"You shouldn't go into a contaminated site and have people camping out and digging in the dirt," says Kathryn Higley, a radiation health physicist at Oregon State University. While the risk of developing cancer in the long term remains "very, very low," she says it shows Russia's disregard for the well-being of its own troops.
A risky stopping place for troops
Chernobyl was the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster in 1986. A meltdown and explosion spewed radioactive material across the region, and fallout throughout Western Europe. Nearly 40 years after the accident, an exclusion zone — where people are prohibited from living or growing crops — remains in effect around the nuclear plant.
The satellite image shows an apparent Russian convoy and encampment in one of the more radioactive parts of the exclusion zone — on the edge of the so-called "red forest" — a region so contaminated by the nuclear meltdown that most of the trees died at the time. The image, dated from March 16, shows the convoy of around 30 vehicles parked on a stretch of road about 3.5 kilometers (2.2 miles) west of the ruined reactor. Nearby appears what looks like a small encampment, with berms, trenches for armored vehicles and a tent (location: 51.3892, 30.0479).
Loading...
An image from March 28, days before Russia's withdrawal from Chernobyl and the surrounding exclusion zone, shows fires burning near the site of the encampment. A second image, from March 29, shows that the fire reached the camp and may have destroyed it before being extinguished.
Ukraine's state utility, Energatom, posted drone footage of the same site on its Telegram channel on April 6. That footage shows the charred area, along with the remains of what appear to be temporary buildings, as well as trenches and sandbag positions on the road.
The International Atomic Energy says that it is aware of the reports that Russian troops may have been exposed to radiation, but so far it has been unable to verify them.
"The IAEA has reviewed the footage but can only undertake an independent radiological assessment once its experts are on the site," the agency said in a statement on Thursday.
The exclusion zone around Chernobyl is subject to wildfires this time of year, and it remains unclear whether the fire was natural, a result of activities by Russian troops or deliberately started by someone else.
Russia seized Chernobyl in late February, and held the site for over a month.
Rumors of radioactive poisoning spread
Since the withdrawal of Russian forces on March 31, rumors have been circulating on social media that its troops at Chernobyl had fallen ill after digging trenches on the site. A post on a Belarusian Telegram channel that monitors troop activity inside the country showed military vehicles arriving at a hospital in the city of Gomel, which specializes in treating radiation.
NPR was able to identify the location of a photo in the Belarussian post as being taken at the hospital, but was not able to verify whether the vehicles or their passengers were Russian. The Telegram channel also noted that Russian troops are regularly seen at the facility.
The area in Chernobyl that was used by the Russian troops "is decently hot," according to Tim Mousseau, an ecologist at the University of South Carolina who's studied the Chernobyl exclusion zone for years.
But Mousseau and Higley both say that the troops couldn't have gotten radiation poisoning from living on the site, even for a month.
"It seems unlikely that a very large dose would be received from just sitting in the trenches," Mousseau told NPR via email. "A more likely scenario, based on having brought dozens of visitors to the zone with me over the years, is that there was a psychosomatic response to finding out that they were in a highly contaminated region."
Loading...
Higley adds that the Russian soldiers may have been experiencing other health issues as well. "It could be stress, it could be cold, it could be bad food; all of those things can mimic the symptoms of radiation syndrome," she says.
Higley says that the decision to station forces in the forests around Chernobyl is "only one small bad thing on a list of a whole lot of other bad things" being done by Russia in Ukraine. Even the troops who slept there face far larger risks if they are redeployed to forward positions in eastern Ukraine, where Russia is reportedly sending reinforcements.
"In the grand scheme of things," she says, "I think a little bit of radiation risk from sleeping on the ground at Chernobyl is probably the least of their worries at this point."

BOSTON (AP) — Carter Savoie scored with 14:53 gone in overtime, converting on his own rebound to lead Denver past Michigan 3-2 in the Frozen Four semifinal on Thursday night and into the NCAA championship game.
The Pioneers will play for the title Saturday night against the winner of the late semifinal between Minnesota and Minnesota State. It would be Denver's ninth hockey championship, tying Michigan for the most in NCAA history.
Magnus Chrona made 19 saves for the Pioneers, who twice went ahead in regulation, on goals from Brett Stapley and Cameron Wright. But both times Michigan tied it — on goals from Jimmy Lambert and Thomas Bordeleau, the latter with 11 minutes left in regulation.
It stayed that way until Michigan failed to clear the puck from its own zone, with two Wolverines skating past the puck near the blue line, each leaving it for the other. The puck found its way to Hobey Baker finalst Bobby Brink in the corner.
He centered it to Savoie, who delivered the winner on his second try.
Erik Portillo stopped 30 shots for the Wolverines in the matchup of college hockey's two most decorated programs.
Denver scored first when Stapley picked up a rebound, slid it over to his backhand and easily beat Portillo with eight minutes gone in the first period. Michigan tied it four minutes into the second, when Nolan Moyle dug the puck out from behind the net and sent it in front to Lambert coming across the middle.
Denver took a 2-1 lead when Mike Benning flipped it in from the blue line and Wright it off the post and in.
Michigan tied it with 11 minutes to play in regulation after Mark Estapa threw himself to the ice to block a shot. The puck bounced off him and into the neutral zone, where Michael Pastujov grabbed it and took off.
As he approached the net, he tried to shoot or pass but the puck deflected off a defender and right to Bordeleau, who was trailing the play. His goal made it 2-2, and that’s the way it stayed when Michigan killed off two more penalties -- three in all, to none for Denver.

BOSTON – Owen Power’s signing day with the Buffalo Sabres could occur sooner than he planned.
A memorable season by Power and the Michigan Wolverines ended Thursday night with a 3-2 overtime loss to Denver in the Frozen Four at TD Garden. The Pioneers will face the winner of Minnesota-Minnesota State in the national championship Saturday at 8 p.m.
Support Local Journalism
Fellow Sabres prospect Erik Portillo made 30 saves, several of which were highlight-reel quality, but Carter Savoie's goal in overtime. Jimmy Lambert and Thomas Bordeleau scored for the Wolverines (31-9-2), who entered the tournament as the top seed after winning the Big Ten Tournament championship.
Power played in every situation for the Wolverines – even on the right side during penalty kills – and skated alongside three different defense partners, most notably Luke Hughes, who was drafted fourth overall by the New Jersey Devils last July.
Denver’s structure trumped Michigan’s skill, as the Wolverines had at least a dozen rush attempts thwarted by offside calls or turnovers. Brett Stapley and Cameron Wright also scored for the Pioneers (30-9-1).

Power is expected to sign his entry-level contract and debut with the Sabres as soon as next week. His second season at Michigan ended with three goals and 32 points in 33 games. Portillo, a third-round draft choice in 2019, will also have the option to begin his professional career. The 21-year-old sophomore was named the most valuable player of the Big Ten Tournament and NCAA Regionals last month.

If you’re a God fearing person, tap in and explore with me, or keep it moving. I wrote this blog because for years I’ve always known that we are a God who creates. Consider this concept. Women are the vessel with the ability to create life, and that pretty incredible. You have the ability to create a life and lifestyle you desire, but most people beg God for favor. Why do we have to beg while living on earth? Because it’s designed that way to control folks. Now, some people need to stay in that zone, begging but never really moving. I grew up Presbyterian and that was so underwhelming as a child. Grew up going to Baptist churches with friends. Tried Buddhism for 40 years and that was enlightening. But now I find spiritually more satisfying because it makes sense, plus there’s no begging. Now, let’s get to the God gene.

A recent southern Colorado wind storm, which usually occurs about every two years in the state, caused damage. But the question is, who is responsible?
The winds caused a cart corral, which holds shopping carts together while they're being brought back into the store, to knock into a car while a customer was shopping.
Through its insurance company, the supermarket called King Soopers, says they aren't responsible, but a local attorney says that's not always true.
On the morning of December 15, 2021, a major wind storm rolled through the town of Colorado Springs. A local meteorologist clocked 92 mph wind gusts at the Colorado Springs Airport that day.
Lette de Mer says her family's Subaru was parked at the grocery store when the cart corral blew into their car.
"Staff was out there trying to move this thing off of our car and put it off to the side," Lette said. "One of the staff members took a picture."
She says the employees took pictures of the damage to the rear of the car.
"The rear hatch was damaged," she said. "It was hit pretty hard and pieces of the rear hatch were broken off.”
Lette says at first, the store seemed willing to address the damage.
“The manager said he would check with insurance and call me back and we never got a callback," she said. "They haven’t returned any of our calls and then we contacted you.”
Sedgwick, the company handling claims on behalf of King Soopers (a Kroger brand) sent Lette and her husband a denial letter.
"I would like to apologize for the unfortunate incident you experienced while shopping," the letter said. "After careful review of the facts regarding your incident, our investigation has revealed no negligence on behalf of King Soopers and therefore we must deny your claim."
The letter then told Lette they hope she would remain as one of its "valued customers."
We presented what happened to attorney Stephen Longo. He is not associated with either party in this case, but said he would give a legal opinion on who may be responsible when cases like this occur.
“Anytime we go shopping at any store that is open and inviting us in, they are designated under Colorado law under the 'Premise of Liability Act’ as an invitee and under that standard, it means the business needs to protect us from known dangers or dangers that they should know about upon a reasonable inspection," Longo said.
Since this December wind storm was predicted days in advance by local meteorologists in Colorado, Longo said this fact may help the family if they appeal.
“If we’re talking about a cart corral that gets blown over by a wind storm because it’s not bolted down correctly, then they can still be found negligent."
Longo says one thing to consider in a case like this is whether employees should have known or could have known about this potential danger through routine maintenance like sweeps or inspections and a review of safety policies and practices.
Kristal Howard, the director of media relations and corporate communications for The Kroger Company was contacted for a statement but did not immediately reply.
"For 40 years I've been shopping there and now they don't want to take responsibility for their cart corral hitting our car and damaging it," Lette said. "If that had hit a person, it would have been tragic. Fortunately no one was hit."
We also reached out directly to Sedgwick to see if they could review the denial and offer the customer information on an appeal.
Lette says to-date, she has heard nothing back from Sedgwick.
At first, Judy Molnar, Vice President of Public Relations for Sedgwick asked for the customer's information. We immediately provided it to Sedgwick.
Further correspondence seeking information via email, telephone, and text message went unanswered by Molnar.
Advice from Stephen Longo:
Longo says insurance companies are in the business of taking premiums and not paying out claims. He said it's not necessarily uncommon for an insurance company or business to immediately deny a claim.
If this occurs, he says you should look into filing an appeal.
Some agencies, like hospitals, are transparent about how to file an appeal. Sedgwick provided no such information in its denial to the customer on the appeals process.
Longo says you should also ask the insurance company the following questions:
- What facts did you review before coming to your conclusion or decision?
- What information or exemption in the insurance policy are you citing regarding my denial?
- What safety protocols and procedures were in place at the time of this incident?
- What media (pictures, video, statements) did you use to draw your conclusion?
If you're still not making headway, seeking mediation services might be the next step you consider before filing a civil lawsuit and letting the courts decide who is at fault."

QCOSTARICA – “Mayday, mayday, mayday, we have problems with the left hydraulic system. We have two souls on board. We have two and half hours of fuel. We are going to prepare our aircraft to be able to make an emergency landing,” said the pilot of the DHL cargo plane following its take off from the Juan Santamaria (San Jose) airport this Thursday morning.
Once back on the ground, the Boeing 757-200 skidded off the runway, its tail snapped and part of its landing gear broke.
The only persons on board, the pilot and co-pilot, both Guatemalan nationals, did not suffer any serious injuries.
The emergency began around 10:00 am. The flight, loaded with packages was headed to Guatemala but was forced to return to make an emergency landing at 10:25 am.
A video of the landing shows the airplane moving along the runway and during braking maneuvers, the aircraft makes a 180° turn and runs of the runway, into the grass. During breaking a lot of smoke could be seen coming off the landing train caused by the tire rubber and leaked hydraulic fluid.
“When the aircraft touches down, initially the landing appears normal, but then the aircraft slides to the south side of the runway, spinning and part of its fuselage breaking off. Our units immediately mobilized, placed ladders to remove the pilot and co-pilot from the aircraft, who had some minor blows, but were in good condition,” said Héctor Chaves, director of the Fire Department.
Chaves added that units from Alajuela, Heredia and San Jose provided support to the airport unit.
Luis Miranda, deputy director of Civil Aviation, explained that the plane took off from Costa Rica and was headed for La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City. The problems were reported 56 kilometers north of the Juan Santamaría airport, at an altitude of 19,000 feet, when the pilot announced the emergency.
According to historical records, this Boeing 757-200, with Panamanian registration HP-2010DAE, had been in operation for more than 22 years. Since December 1999 it operated for Far Eastern Air Transport, flying the Taiwanese flag. In 2010 it became Aerolease and in November of that same year, it became DHL Aero Expreso.
Given the damage sustained, the airplane is damaged beyond repair.
Total impact on the airport operations
The emergency declared shortly before noon affected totally airport operations. All flights out of the San Jose airport were grounded, and incoming flights, mostly from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and Europe, were diverted to Liberia, in the province of Guanacaste.
Due to international aeronautical regulations, flights cannot be restored until minimum security conditions are guaranteed on the runway. In this case, the 757 was crossed just outside the fire station, which would affect the attention of a possible new emergency.
The airport manager, Aerism assures that it took the corresponding measures to provide assistance to passengers with delayed flights; However, chaos proliferated in the terminal.
Despite the preliminary indication that the airport would resume full operations by 3:30 pm, at the time of this report (4:25 pm), outgoing flights continued delayed and many canceled.
As to incoming flights, only the Iberia flight from Madrid, Spain, was able to land at 3:43 pm, while all incoming flights up to 7:00 pm show delayed or canceled.
Aeris reports it is expecting to reopen the airport by 6:00 pm.

Safety, budget risks spark call to dismantle NSW rail corporation
By Adele Ferguson and Matt O'Sullivan
The NSW government’s controversial multi-billion-dollar rail corporation should be dismantled due to risks it poses to the state budget and the safety of the railways, a powerful parliamentary committee has warned.
In a stinging report released on Friday, the public accountability committee said the government failed to properly consider safety, accountability and risk mitigation before giving the green light to create the Transport Asset Holding Entity (TAHE) in 2015.
The parliamentary inquiry into TAHE was sparked by a Herald investigation last year which revealed the government set up the rail corporation in 2015 to artificially boost the NSW budget by billions of dollars by shifting rail expenses into the state-owned entity.
The inquiry’s final report recommended the government unwind the rail corporation due to ongoing hits to the state budget and its inability to credibly make a commercial return.
Inquiry chair and Greens MP David Shoebridge said it was essential for the government to quickly dismantle TAHE to prevent the “ongoing bleeding of public finances”.
“The continuation of the TAHE experiment places an unnecessary, and unacceptable, financial and safety risk for NSW,” he said.
The parliamentary committee also recommended Treasury urgently conduct an independent review into its dealings with the NSW Auditor-General, including a probe of the actions of senior officials.
“At worst, it appears that NSW Treasury sought to mislead the Audit Office by providing documentation that suited their position. At best, it is a case of poor administration bordering on incompetence,” its report said.
The Audit Office had to delay signing off on the state’s financial accounts by three months and has accused Treasury of obstructing its investigation into TAHE by presenting “late, unsophisticated, and inaccurate forecasts” and withholding crucial documents.
The government has been forced to write down the value of TAHE by $20 billion and inject billions of dollars into the rail corporation to make it stack up commercially.
Shadow treasurer and committee member Daniel Mookhey described TAHE as a fiasco that had to be dismantled. “NSW stands to lose more than $13 billion by the end of this decade if the Premier carries on with this budget con,” he said.
“If TAHE lives, a rail disaster like Glenbrook and Waterfall is more likely. A for-profit corporation shouldn’t have the final say over vital decisions like the size of the maintenance budget.”
Treasurer Matt Kean, who took over the portfolio late last year, described the report as a “political document” concocted by Labor, the Greens and the Shooters, and said its claims about safety risks were misleading and incorrect.
The 114-page report, which includes a dissenting statement from government MPs on the committee, described as inappropriate the state-owned rail corporation’s aggressive push to make property development its primary focus.
“It holds some of the state’s most critical transport infrastructure and should be focused on the rail system,” it said.
The “undue reliance” on external consultants from KPMG and other accounting giants was also highlighted, and it called on the government to urgently introduce controls to ensure they are hired to “provide genuine independent advice” rather than “desired outcomes”.
The Herald revealed in June last year that Treasury pressured KPMG and then partner Brendan Lyon to change parts of a report that found the rail entity didn’t work and could cost the state billions of dollars more than it saved.
The parliamentary inquiry found it “highly inappropriate” for Treasury to request Mr Lyon amend his report. It highlighted a series of conduct issues, including allegations by Mr Lyon that he had been bullied, humiliated and targeted by a hit squad of Treasury officials when he refused to change his numbers.
“His evidence was direct, straightforward and credible, and came at significant personal and professional cost,” the committee’s report said.
In a dissenting statement, the three Coalition MPs on the committee said the report had made “very serious allegations” about the government and TAHE to suit a political agenda.
They rejected assertions that TAHE posed a threat to the long-term safety of the state’s railways. However, they said the government took the Auditor-General’s findings seriously and Treasurer Matt Kean had initiated an independent review into his agency’s interactions with the Audit Office.
Former NSW auditor-general Tony Harris has described TAHE as an accounting gimmick and a vehicle for deception.

Which telescoping ladder is best?
Telescoping ladders allow you to reach high-up locations without having to deal with the hassles of storing and transporting a traditional model that can be awkward to carry and take up a lot of space.
Safety should be of the utmost concern, so you’ll want to choose a telescoping ladder that not only supports the load you will be placing on it, but which also has a pinch-free retraction method and high-traction, nonslip feet pads. The Ohuhu 12.5-Foot Telescoping Ladder is one such model.
What to know before you buy a telescoping ladder
Telescoping ladders vs. extension ladders
There is sometimes confusion among buyers of what exactly qualifies as an extension ladder. This is partially the result of some manufacturers labeling their extension ladders as telescoping even though they don’t actually telescope. Essentially, any model that doesn’t have rungs that collapse down on top of one another should not be considered a telescoping ladder.
The main benefit of telescoping ladders is how compact they are when fully collapsed. This makes them exceptionally easy to transport and store. Extension ladders simply can’t compete in this area. That said, some users may feel that extension ladders are more stable.
Ladder certifications and ratings
For the average person buying a telescoping ladder for their home, the only rating they really need to worry about is the duty rating or load capacity. On most models, this will be clearly stated somewhere in the product description in pounds. However, some models might only state their type, which are as follows:
- Type IAA ladders – 375-pound load capacity
- Type IA ladders – 300-pound load capacity
- Type I ladders- 250-pound load capacity
- Type II ladders – 225-pound load capacity
- Type III ladders – 200-pound load capacity.
If you are purchasing a ladder for commercial use, there are a couple of additional certifications and ratings you need to be aware of. If the ladder is manufactured in the European Union, it will carry an EN131 rating. For commercial use, only purchase a telescoping ladder that carries a EN131 Professional rating. It should also be OSHA compliant.
Retraction
Most telescoping ladders can either retract rung by rung or the entire thing at once. For rung by rung retraction you’ll use small buttons or levers underneath each specific rung. Generally, this has to be done from the top down. To retract the whole ladder at once, you’ll use small buttons or levers on or near the very bottom rung. Be careful to keep your fingers out from between the rungs as you do this to avoid injury. Some models utilize air resistance to ensure they retract slowly, which also helps to avoid injury.
Features to look for in a quality telescoping ladder
Height
Every ladder has a maximum height it can be extended to. Consider the height of the various locations you need to reach before choosing a model to ensure it fits your needs. Don’t forget that it is advised not to stand on the uppermost rungs so make sure to factor this into your purchase decision.
Weight capacity
For safety reasons, it is vital that you never exceed the manufacturer’s maximum load rating of a ladder. The amount of weight you’ll be placing on a ladder includes not only the user’s weight but also that of any tools that you may carry up with you or attach to the upper rungs of your ladder as you work.
Nonslip end caps
Nonslip end caps should be nonnegotiable on any ladder you purchase, no matter the type. These increase user safety by minimizing the chances of the ladder slipping while you are standing on it. Ideally, these should be both textured and made from a high-traction material.
Rung lock indicator
To be used safely, the rungs of a telescoping ladder need to be locked into place. The majority of models have a self-locking design so you don’t have to worry about manually doing anything. However, you should still double-check before standing on the ladder. Models that feature a visible rung lock indicator make this step easy.
How much you can expect to spend on a telescoping ladder
Most telescoping ladders cost between $100-$250.
Telescoping ladder FAQ
Do telescoping ladders need to be fully extended for use?
A. No. You can extend a telescoping ladder to whatever height is most convenient for the job at hand as long as it is at or below its maximum extension.
Do telescoping ladders require any maintenance?
A. Telescoping ladders don’t require any specific maintenance other than keeping them clean and dry. It is also advised not to store them in a place where they will constantly be exposed to the elements.

Who’s going to transfer out?
With so many QB’s coming in and already having so many on the roster, who’s going to go? After Gerry leaves, it’s a wide open race (mainly) between Blake Shapen, Austin Novosad, and Kyron Drones. So who do y’all think is going win the job and who’s going to leave?
Posted by Bearsalwayswin
BNT: I don’t think anyone transfers out at this point. Gerry will be a senior, Shapen a redshirt sophomore, Drones a sophomore (who very well could redshirt this season), and Novosad won’t even be on campus for another year. I’ve even heard that the staff sees preferred walk on CJ Rogers as a scholarship type athlete who has the tools to play. Not taking a QB in the last recruiting class certainly helped create a little room. GB will probably be named the starter. But Shapen having 3 more years will keep him at Baylor. The next big battle will be between Shapen and Drones. So, let’s revisit this question next year.
Haven’t heard anything about the facilities
Is there anything new regarding football facilities?
Posted by aintathangbutachickenwing
BNT: Mark did a good article on the Fudge Football Operation Center.
Does BNT bank pay for all of Baylor’s NIL deals?
Posted by SicEmOSo
BNT: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Not a exactly a Baylor question but,
would you care to make a prediction on how Kansas’ National Championship will impact their looming punishment?
Posted by 5StarCouchQB
PioneerSkies: NC State has sanctions in place right now stemming from the same FBI probe. Also, the fact that NIL deals exist now didn’t prevent OSU from being banned from the postseason this year. Five level 1 NCAA violations were enough to get Will Wade fired at LSU and Sean Miller fired at Arizona. KU, however, gave Self a lifetime “sanction-proof” contract, despite three of the violations naming him personally. I doubt the NCAA appreciates such an affront and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them throw the book at Self and KU.
BNT: Disagree and think KU will get away with just a slap on the wrist, which is a shame if they do. Best comment I’ve seen
This is Kansas’ 4th National Championship, just 1 shy of the amount of Level 1 Violations they are currently being accused of by the NCAA.
— Peter Burns (@PeterBurnsESPN) April 5, 2022
Along those same lines....
Do you reckon the championship will end up being vacated?
Posted by PioneerSkies
BNT: Unfortunately no, but it will be tainted.
Who would you like to be the next Big 12 commissioner?
Posted by PioneerSkies
BNT: Out of the five P5 conferences, the Big 12 is right in there as #3. This gives us the luxury of going after someone who would be really good. We need a high level person that can organize, negotiate, and take the conference to the next level in expansion and TV GOR (to mention a few). I have no doubt some heavy weights will toss their names into the ring as it is a coveted position. As long as Mack is on the search committee, I have great confidence that it will be a good hirer....because that’s what Mack does. But, who would I like to see?
Baseball
Do we have a shot at winning the conference or going to the college world series? Its been a few weeks since we win a championship and I need another hit.
Posted by JustinAllison16
BNT: Unless our pitching becomes consistent, no and no.
Who fills Alinkjo’s spot
Which would you prefer from maybe Flagler, a highly touted transfer, Bonner, or even Dillon Hunter.
Posted by GraysonDupre
Cody Orr: My guess (hope?) is an experienced transfer plays point next season. No disrespect to our current guards; I think they all played better when someone else was handling and distributing the ball.
BNT: I think they have 2 guys on the roster who could be good point guards in Flagler and Love. Flagler was hampered with by his hand and then knee and of course Love was out with an ACL tear. With the guard rotation we have, we will look a little more like our championship season back court.
Do you think Coach Collen will stick around? In the Our Time series, she talked about how her husband & kids did not move with her & how difficult it is to be in separate states. How long do you think she stays?
Posted by oolaladybear
Andrew Miner: There were some tremendously powerful moments in that series, but none more than the episode where she flew home. It struck me as very surprising that she left home to embark on a long distance relationship with her family. I think there may have been some toxicity in the Dream organization, and Coach Collen just saw it as a perfect opportunity to leap at. Maybe she sees it as one more year long distance before the twins go to college and then her husband and youngest move to Texas? So it could be short term suffering for long term success. I think she will be around for awhile—hard to say if that’s five years or 20.
BNT: I don’t think Nicki sees Baylor as a stepping stone to the next place. We are a true blue blood program in Women’s basketball and viewed as a plum position by coaches around the nation. Nicki knows this and I’m certain Mack did his due diligence and didn’t hire a short termer. Also in the last Our Time episode, she just moved into the new house she had built which shows some commitment to staying around.
How much of that ten million bag
Is to keep Mack away from the big XII commish job?
Posted by dOols II
BNT: Don’t see it as a factor as he’s happy at Baylor, But, we definitely want to keep Mack and compensate him appropriately. So,
Post your comments and other questions below. Sic ‘em!

When Yassr Elyatim started flipping burgers on the side of Lakemba’s main street during Ramadan more than 10 years ago, it was to test out a business idea with his brother-in-law and good friend.
He had always worked with food - at McDonald’s, Burger King and cafes - so this would be a way to make some extra money while offering his Muslim community somewhere new to come together as they broke their fast during the evening.
They set up a small barbecue stand on Haldon Street all month and did the same the next year. Then a casual remark set off a new trajectory.
“Someone came along and told me: ‘Listen, there’s a big problem in the Simpson Desert with the camels, they’re starting to muster them and use them as meat’,” Mr Elyatim said. “I said to them: ‘I think that will work well’. From the very first burger, it’s kicked off from there.”
Word of these camel burgers spread, dozens of market stalls followed suit with their own offerings, and after a few years the council stepped in to make the event safer by closing roads on the weekends, providing rubbish collection and traffic control.
A decade later, the Ramadan Nights market organised by Canterbury-Bankstown Council is arguably the city’s biggest annual multicultural event and street food festival.
For 30 straight nights, Haldon Street in Lakemba resembles an Asian or Middle Eastern bazaar more than a typical Sydney high street. It’s at its busiest from about 8.30pm onwards and attracts crowds of up to 30,000 on weekends when the street is officially closed, but crowds spill onto the street even on weeknights. The council organises a shuttle service to transport people in surrounding suburbs until 2am, and most of the road’s retailers take advantage of foot traffic to stay open later.
Its Arabic origins have evolved into a multicultural affair: there are food stalls from Middle-Eastern cuisines but also south-east Asia, the Indian subcontinent and parts of Africa. The Uniting Church on Haldon Street serves tea on its front lawn all night and welcomes anyone to sit, eat and talk together.
More than 70 per cent of Haldon Street’s visitors during Ramadan now come from outside the local government area, and they skew towards a younger demographic: almost three-quarters are under 44 years old, according to council data.
Mr Elyatim works as a boxing coach most of the time - “after 30 days, you don’t want to look at a barbecue again,” he said - but the annual burger stall has become an icon of Sydney’s Ramadan festivities. Queues form down the block and about 70 per cent of the 2000 burgers they flip each night are of the camel variety.
“We get people from Dubai asking us for camel patties. It’s become a little of mascot of Ramadan when it comes to Haldon Street,” he said. “It’s a highly populated area with Muslims, [but] the last few years has been a variety of cultures coming in. It’s a multicultural event, it’s beautiful. Every culture has their thing. For us, this is Ramadan, our holy month.”
This year will be the first proper iteration of the street market since 2019, when more than 250,000 people attended. After two years of COVID-related closures, where Sydney’s west endured some of the toughest lockdown restrictions in the country, the council is anticipating at least twice that number to visit this month.
“I think everyone’s just happy to be out. The last two years we haven’t really celebrated Ramadan properly, we weren’t allowed to pray in the mosque. So for everyone to combine and congregate again is absolutely amazing,” Mr Elyatim said.
Canterbury-Bankstown Council deputy mayor Bilal El-Hayek said this year’s event was the biggest he’d seen. “I don’t know if it’s because of COVID, and people miss these events, but this is huge, to have something like this on a Monday, Tuesday night. The plan is to just keep expanding,” he said.
Next year, the plan is to string fairy lights across the road and down the street, and Mr El-Hayek also wants to see parking lanes removed on weeknights to give pedestrians extra space to walk. The council already invests about $770,000 in the event: almost a third of that goes towards traffic management, while safety management and staffing are the second-biggest costs.
The payoff is in the thousands of visitors that offer a huge boost to local commerce; the council estimates more than $5 million will be invested in the local economy. “Businesses have struggled for the last two years and to be back is absolutely phenomenal,” Mr El-Hayek said.
But he said the value of the festival was not “measured in dollar terms but what it brings to our city”. “It unites people from all religious beliefs and from across, not only [Sydney], but from interstate and overseas. We see families flying in to stay with their relatives, just to join in the month-long celebrations,” he said.
The Ahsan family, who live in Stanhope Gardens, have visited on a few nights each Ramadan since 2018. They travel from home in Sydney’s north-west and try different food each time. “It’s rare to get this kind of atmosphere in Sydney,” said Adib Ahsan, 24.
It’s also the closest they can get to reliving the buzz of night-time bazaars or food markets in different parts of Asia, including in Bangladesh where the parents grew up. “Night time here is nothing, everything closes at 5pm,” said Farhana, 47. “It’s really nice to see so many people out and about - we don’t have this all the time.”
Mr El-Hayek said the Turkish coffee on offer was “just as good as any souk in the middle-east”. “We travel the world to [experience] different cultures and have this buzz. You can come to Lakemba to experience that,” he said.
“The atmosphere is vibrant and exciting... This festival has certainly exceeded all expectations. From very humble beginnings, it has grown to be the biggest multicultural festival in Australia, and it will only get bigger.”
For Mohammad Kaddour, who is selling falafel, this is his first proper Ramadan since arriving in Australia two years ago. “It’s very rewarding, very important for the community,” he said through a translator. “It’s good to see people coming from all backgrounds and faith getting together to celebrate, and supports the local economy.”
Another trader, Bilal Ammar, has run one of several knafeh stalls for the last six years. He used to work as a security guard at a chemist on Haldon Street and watch it come alive at night during Ramadan, which was “something different for Sydney”.
He went on to start an online knafeh ordering and catering business, but the annual Lakemba market is by far his biggest business opportunity. They’ll go through 20 to 30 trays of the sweet cheese dessert on a weeknight, and 40 on the weekends.
“Every year we wait for this opportunity,” he said. “We like to do it because we do it in our countries. And it’s the biggest event we can make money at, too. The last two years we haven’t been able to do it [has been bad],” he said.
“There’s a lot of events in Sydney but for me, this is the best.”
This year’s Ramadan Nights event on Haldon Street will be held until Sunday, May 1, from dusk until late.

Gov't to finalize decision on downgrading disease level of COVID-19: PM
SEOUL, April 8 (Yonhap) -- The government will finalize a decision on adjusting the infectious disease level of COVID-19 as virus cases are clearly on a downward trend, Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum said Friday.
The novel coronavirus is currently classified as "Class 1 infectious disease," the highest in the four-tier classification that falls under the same category with diseases like the Ebola virus and the Middle East respiratory syndrome, and the government is considering downgrading it by one notch.
The move can lead to significant changes in virus responses, such as reducing the quarantine period or even lifting self-isolation measures.
"As the omicron wave passed its peak, we need to check whether our medical resources have been used properly," Kim said during a COVID-19 response meeting in Seoul. "We have to improve sustainability of our virus response and medical system while lowering pressure on society."
Kim added the authorities plan to reduce hospital beds for moderately ill patients and living treatment centers depending on regional situations, as their operation rate is going down.

Kim’s Video movie rental library acquired by Alamo Drafthouse for Downtown NYC location
When Mondo Kim's closed in early 2009, NYC lost access to its massive video rental collection, some 55,000 films. The collection was shipped to Sicily, but now it's coming back, as Alamo Drafthouse has acquired the whole thing for its Downtown Manhattan location, where they will be available to rent. Here's the press release:
From 1986 to 2012, film lovers from around the world would flock to the East Village to browse the legendarily diverse and esoteric catalog of Kim’s Video. One of the largest video collections in the world, the Kim’s Video collection has close to 55,000 of the deepest cuts and the hardest-to-find selections – and many are not and may never be available on a streaming platform.
After a twelve year and 9,000 mile odyssey that included a trip to Italy and back, the Kim’s Video collection is now back where it belongs – in New York City. It will be permanently housed and available for rental at Alamo Drafthouse Lower Manhattan.
Details beyond that are scant but there's a press preview next week, so hopefully we'll know more soon.
The last Kim's Video & Music, which didn't rent movies, closed in 2014 just after Record Store Day.

DAVIS, Calif. — The University of California, Davis has been recognized, once again, for its leadership in the departments of veterinary science as well as agriculture and forestry in the 2022 QS World University Rankings that came out today.
UC Davis's overall score in the agriculture and forestry department was 92.4 and their overall score in the veterinary science department was 94.2, ranking them 1st in the country and 2nd in the world in both subjects.
"I’m proud that UC Davis continues to be recognized for the world-class education it provides as well as for the impact of its research and service,” said UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May in a news release.
The School of Veterinary Medicine has more than 700 students enrolled and pursuing their degrees and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences has nearly 7,400 undergraduates and 1,090 graduate students enrolled.
"My students are the cream of the crop, of course," Karl Jandrey, the Associate Dean of Admissions and Student Programs at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine said, "but also the faculty, staff and colleagues I get to work with on a daily basis here are the movers and shakers. They're the leaders, the book writers, the discoverers of new information that lead to improvements in animal health, human health and environmental ecology."
UC Davis was also ranked 43rd in the world and tied for 18th in the country in the category of life sciences and medicine.
For the first time this year, the diversity of a university's international research network was considered in the 2022 QS World Rankings.

Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club celebrates 125 years with exhibit at Deepwells Mansion
By Melissa Arnold
Over the past few generations, hardworking and determined women from all walks of life have fought to be heard and seen. Their efforts laid the groundwork for today’s women to break all sorts of glass ceilings.
In the late 19th century, Catharine Lorillard Wolfe was the richest woman around thanks to her family’s inheritance of the famed Lorillard Tobacco Company. Wolfe was generous with her fortune, doing whatever she could to support education, the arts and museums.
One major recipient of that generosity was Grace Church on Broadway in New York, where Wolfe was a parishioner. Among her final wishes was a request that the church use her financial gift for some sort of “women’s work.”
In response, the church founded the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club (CLWAC) in 1896 to provide counsel and support for female art students in the city. This year, the club is marking its 125th anniversary with a series of special exhibits around the tri-state area, including a juried satellite exhibit at Deepwells Mansion in Saint James. from April 10 to 30, and will culminate with a national juried exhibition at the Salmagundi Club in Manhattan from June 20 to July 1.
“The goal was always to support women artists in particular. Cooper Union [a college focused on arts, architecture and engineering] was in the area, so there were plenty of women who needed a place to go to relax, have lunch, and exhibit their work,” said Karene Infranco, president of the CLWAC.
The club has boasted a number of famous artists in its lifetime, including sculptors Anna Hyatt Huntington and Harriet Whitney Frishmuth, to name a few. By paying modest dues, any woman can become an Associate Member and participate in select shows and events, but the requirements for full membership are rigorous.
“In order to become a Juried Member, you have to be selected to exhibit your work in at least two of our open shows within a five-year period — shows that are just for Associates don’t count, as the competition for the open shows is on a much higher level, with many more people entering,” Infranco explained.
Entrants can exhibit in five categories: pastel, oil and acrylic, watercolor, graphics (pencil and printmaking), and sculpture. Selections are made by a committee of five artists, and then each competition is judged for prizes by a three-person jury of curators, critics and fellow artists that are well-known in their field. A computerized system allows jurors to score each piece by objective criteria. Those who make the cut twice are then invited to join the club as a full, lifetime member.
Member artists range in age from their 20s to their 80s, with wide-ranging careers and art interests. Infranco owned a healthcare advertising agency and, in 2013, decided to sharpen her skills in drawing and painting by taking classes at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey. She eventually began exhibiting her work at the national level with numerous groups, including CLWAC, and currently serves as a docent for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan.
“When the Met was incorporated in 1870, Catharine Lorillard Wolfe contributed $2500 of her funds and became the only woman founder,” Infranco said. “The club stands out to me because of its long history, that unique relationship with the museum, and the fact that it caters specifically to women. While there are other women-focused organizations out there, Catharine was such a savvy, interesting and influential person with spot-on taste for art and the ability to carve her own path in life. That’s a big attraction for all of us.”
Catharine Lorillard Wolfe ultimately bequeathed her personal collection of 140 paintings, along with an endowment for its maintenance, to the Met. Her endowment was the Museum’s first, and her donated paintings formed the beginning of the museum’s European painting collection.
Today, the club still meets in person at Grace Church, and its ranks are growing with 410 club members located throughout the country. There is a sizable Long Island contingent in the group, and many of the local women have known each other for years.
Flo Kemp of Setauket and Eleanor Meier of Centerport became friends after spending time together at many of the area’s drawing clubs and classes. Kemp has devoted herself to marketing her oil paintings and etchings for years, and Meier pursued her own art style after a long career as a high school art teacher.
“I entered shows with CLWAC intermittently over the years until I was eventually invited to become a member,” Kemp said. “It’s a great encouragement and inspiration to be around so many excellent artists through the club. It has deep roots, and it’s an honor to be a part of that history.”
While she works with oils, Kemp specializes in soft ground etchings that have a “painterly” effect. Her inspirations are land and sea scapes which she enjoys for the calming, serene way they draw the viewer in, she said. Her submissions for the exhibit are two etchings: one of Flax Pond, and another of West Meadow Beach.
Meier first heard about the club at a luncheon for the National League of American Pen Women, a professional organization for female writers, artists and composers. She was intrigued by the club’s mission as well as the opportunity to learn from others, and was invited to join them around 1990.
“Being a member of the club has given me an opportunity to meet artists from all over, people I never would have met otherwise, which is always exciting,” she said.
Meier prefers to focus on detailed still life drawings of simple items she finds around the house, saying that they’re easy to set up and fun to create. Her two submissions to the exhibit are watercolor paintings: one of stacked cups, and the other of a Mason jar filled with hydrangeas.
“For all the years I was teaching, the art projects that I did were for the classroom. It wasn’t until after retirement that I had the chance to work on and develop my own personal style,” Meier said. “I’ve been showing at Deepwells with [a local group] for several years now … it’s a classic building and Suffolk County has put a lot of work into it. There’s so much history and gravitas there.”
Indeed, Deepwells Mansion, located at 2 Taylor Lane in St. James, is the perfect venue for such a prestigious show. Dating back to 1845, it is in the Greek revival style built for Joel L.G. Smith — one of the family for whom the Smithtown Township is named. Its most famous owner was W.J. Gaynor, mayor of New York City from 1910 to 1913. In 1989 the house became the property of the Town of Smithtown and is now managed by the Deepwells Farm Historical Society.
The Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club exhibit will be on display at Deepwells from April 10 to 30. Gallery hours are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday (closed April 17).
The exhibit will feature 45 works of art from 41 artists, including a small collection of oil and pastel pieces by the late Jeanette Dick of Belle Terre, a past president of the CLWAC who passed away in January of this year. Many of the included artists will act as docents for the exhibit, guiding guests through the gallery and sharing their personal insights. All artwork on display is available for sale. An awards ceremony will be held on April 30 at 2 p.m. For more information about the CLWAC, visit www.clwac.org.

WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Spirit Airlines Inc. (SAVE) said it has determined that the unsolicited proposal received from JetBlue Airways (JBLU) to acquire Spirit in an all-cash transaction for $33.00 per share could reasonably be likely to lead to a 'Superior Proposal' as defined in Spirit's merger agreement with Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. (ULCC), parent company of Frontier Airlines Inc.
Spirit plans to engage in discussions with JetBlue with respect to JetBlue's proposal, in accordance with the terms of the company's merger agreement with Frontier.
Spirit said it remains bound by the terms of the merger agreement with Frontier, and Spirit's Board has not determined that JetBlue's proposal in fact constitutes a Superior Proposal as defined in the merger agreement with Frontier.
Spirit noted that its board has made no change to its recommendation that its shareholders adopt the merger agreement with Frontier.
On Tuesday, JetBlue confirmed that it submitted a proposal to the Board of Directors of Spirit to acquire Spirit for $33 per share in cash, implying a fully diluted equity value of $3.6 billion.
In February, Spirit Airlines reached a merger deal with Frontier Airlines. According to the deal, Spirit share holders would receive 1.9126 shares of Frontier plus $2.13 in cash for each existing Spirit share they own. This implies a value of $25.83 per Spirit share. Upon closing, existing Frontier equity holders would own about 51.5%, while Spirit equity holders would own around 48.5% of the combined airline.

‘We play for the people’: Why one Young Socceroo is choosing to play for Afghanistan
For the past two years, Rahmat Akbari juggled with one of the more difficult decisions a talented young footballer can face. Just before the outbreak of COVID-19, the Brisbane Roar forward was approached by the Afghanistan football federation to represent his country of birth.
Already, the 21-year-old had played 15 games for Australia’s youth teams, established himself as a regular in the A-League and had every reason to think he could become a Socceroo one day. However, when he watched in horror as the Taliban stormed the capital last year, he was jolted into switching allegiances to Afghanistan and join a national team living in exile.
Just as the women’s national team was rushed away to safety in Australia and Afghan athletes of many other sports fled after the fall of Kabul on August 15, Afghanistan’s football federation similarly sought refuge elsewhere. The national team’s coach, Anoush Dastgir, returned to the Netherlands. Male players left for safer lands and the league was brought to a standstill. No player from the national team resides in Afghanistan today.
For much of the global Afghan diaspora, the team is now seen as a resistance to the Taliban takeover. Unable to step foot on home turf, they’re still proceeding with plans to qualify for a first-ever Asian Cup. For players like Akbari, that resilience motivated him to represent the Lions of Khorasan.
“We won’t play for the actual Taliban government. We play for the Afghan people back home who are not in the best situation and other Afghan communities in the world,” Akbari said. “I don’t think anyone in the Afghan Football Federation has a relationship [with the Taliban]. If they did, a lot of the players wouldn’t play for them because of that. We are against the Taliban.”
Last month, Akbari travelled to Antalya in Turkey for a training camp and games against the under-23 teams of Kuwait and Jordan where he made his debut in the ‘B’ internationals. He was joined by fellow Afghan-Australian, Zelfy Nazary, who plays for St Albans in the NPL Victoria. The 27-year-old midfielder has already made five appearances for Afghanistan. This camp was his first since his homeland was rocked by the collapse of the Republic government last year.
“It is a really important camp because of the things the people are going through day in, day out in Afghanistan,” Nazary said.
His debut gave him a first-hand experience of the importance of football in his country of birth. More than 12,000 packed the Ghazi Stadium in Kabul for a goalless draw with Palestine in 2018 with fans staying for hours after the match, singing, chanting and sounding horns. “It was one of the moments I will cherish for the rest of my life,” he said.
Gripped with the prospect of never experiencing that atmosphere in Afghanistan again, there’s a sombre tone in his voice as talks about the camp and friendlies. “One of the only things they get joy and happiness from is football,” he said.
However, he quickly snaps into a sense of duty knowing there could be hundreds of thousands following the team’s progress from afar.
“To give them a smile for a few hours, it means everything. We all play for the people and for the country,” Nazary said.
That social responsibly is part of the reason Akbari opted to start his senior international career with Afghanistan. When news of his acceptance of a national team call-up made waves throughout his community, Akbari was bombarded with texts of support.
“The messages I have been getting every day for the past two or three days have been overwhelming,” he said.
Not only did he join a team representing much of the resilience of Afghanistan, but one entirely comprised of the passionate diaspora.
“There are a lot of good players who have dual citizenship like me,” Akbari said. “If all of them choose Afghanistan then I think we will have a really good team. The qualifiers are coming up for the Asian Cup in June. I think we will have a really good chance.”
That would be an achievement in itself for any burgeoning football country. For Afghanistan any success is steeped in the joy it will give to those back home.
“I am just excited to go, put the jersey on. I just want to give something back to those people,” Akbari said.

- Is Freddy eating the messed up donuts?
- Those donuts look delightful.
- I don’t remember seeing this Andrew kid before tonight, but he is so cute with his honesty about covering the mistakes in the tower.

Lawsuits aim to ban Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar and Mark Finchem from holding office
A group seeking to bar those it blames for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol from seeking further office helped file lawsuits Thursday against U.S. Reps. Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar, as well as state Rep. Mark Finchem.
It is part of a similar — and so far unsuccessful — effort in other states against U.S. Reps. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., and Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.
The challenges against the Arizona Republicans are rooted in a provision of the 14th Amendment adopted after the Civil War that disqualifies from Congress those who "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" or aided those who did. Finchem, R-Oro Valley, should be disqualified in his bid for Arizona secretary of state because he already broke his oath to the U.S. Constitution as a state lawmaker, the group argues in its case against him.
The lawsuits were filed by a handful of Arizona voters working with the group Free Speech for People in Maricopa County Superior Court and are being fast-tracked for consideration.
Ron Fein, the legal director for the group, said his organization is nonpartisan and includes legal input from Republicans who share their view of the matter.
The insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment hasn't been invoked in about 150 years because it wasn't needed, but it was applied in the post-Civil War period numerous times, Fein said.
"When the Republican Congress that drafted the 14th Amendment included this provision in the Constitution, they understood that it was meant to apply to the leadership of the Confederate insurrection," he said. "They were far more concerned about the political leaders than with the privates who had been conscripted into the Confederate army."
Rory McShane, a Gosar campaign consultant, said the case is absurd.
“This is a frivolous suit. It’s been dismissed everywhere they tried it because it is factually and legally baseless," McShane said. "The lawyers behind it should be disbarred for abusing the courts.”
Neither Biggs nor Finchem could be immediately reached for comment.
In a tweet Thursday referencing the lawsuits, Finchem wrote, "I am in good company. And this is desperate."
Each case includes challenges from would-be constituents and lays out the arguments against each man.
Gosar, for example, is faulted for his pre-attack participation in a rally near the White House and "publicly supported the insurrection as it was happening" on his social media channels, the 36-page suit claims. It notes the allegation that he sought blankets pardons for people involved in the rally for unrelated criminal probes.
The group called Gosar a leader of the movement promoting the false claims of a stolen election, and said he worked with "violent extremists, on a plan to
delegitimize, challenge, and ultimately overturn the results of the presidential election."
Ali Alexander, the organizer of the "Stop the Steal" effort that was in Washington on Jan. 6 called Gosar the "spirit animal" of the effort in a since-deleted video posted before the riot.
In the Biggs case, the group notes that he worked with Gosar to further the same plans to prevent Biden from taking office.
In the Finchem case, the group notes his presence at the Capitol as the pro-Trump mob rioted inside.
"Finchem — who later denied or obfuscated his actions of January 6 — advanced with the crowd near to the steps of the Capitol as it was being overrun, took a picture outside the Capitol among the violent mob just moments after the Capitol was breached, and Tweeted his support while the insurrection was ongoing," the suit notes.
Cawthorn got the case against him dismissed by turning to a federal judge who ruled that an 1872 amnesty law for confederates passed by Congress would apply to Cawthorn and others, too. Fein said his group is appealing that decision.
The same lawyer Cawthorn used, James Bopp, is scheduled to argue Friday for a restraining order preventing Georgia authorities from striking Greene from the ballot in that state.

NEW YORK, April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Twitter, Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) resulting from allegations that Elon Musk may have omitted to file and/or issue material information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you sold Twitter securities between March 14, 2022 and April 4, 2022 you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5134 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On April 4, 2022, Elon Musk disclosed that he had purchased over 73 million shares of Twitter stock—a 9.2% stake in the Company.
On this news, shares of Twitter stock surged on April 4, 2022, closing 27% higher than its closing price on April 3, 2022.
Investors who previously sold shares of Twitter stock between March 14, 2022, when Elon Musk should have disclosed his Twitter stock purchases, and before the actual April 4, 2022 disclosure potentially missed the resulting share price increase as the market reacted to Elon Musk's purchases.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Australians will head to the polls in May to vote on the make-up of the next federal parliament and to decide if there's a change in government.
Last time, when Bill Shorten challenged Scott Morrison for the top job, property markets felt strong ripple effects from the long campaign.
But this time around, the impact of the election on real estate is likely to be very different.
The property market is likely to avoid the usual pre-election jitters in the lead up to the May federal poll. Picture: Getty
Real Estate Institute of Australia president Hayden Groves said Australians can be reluctant to list their home for sale or rent before a federal election, but he believed there was more certainty for the property market this time.
"It seems to be a bit of an automatic response from the market whenever we gear up towards election time, people tend to put their cue in the rack so to speak and not progress their property pursuits," Mr Groves said.
"At the moment there's really nothing from either side of the major parties that would be anything other than encouraging participation in the property market."
PropTrack economist Angus Moore said federal elections can provide a temporary headwind for activity in the property market, although he expected little impact this time.
"I don't think we'll see much of an impact on buyer or seller confidence or on market conditions," Mr Moore said.
"There aren't a lot of housing-specific policies that have been flagged for the election, so we're unlikely to see that weighing on either side of the market.
"Neither party has flagged any major changes to housing policy that would affect either how first-home buyers were going to approach the market or investors or existing vendors looking to upgrade."
Property was a hot topic in the lead up to both the 2019 and 2016 federal elections. Picture: Getty
Real estate was a hot topic in the lead up both to the 2019 and 2016 federal elections, when the uncertainty in the property market centred on Labor's now-abandoned changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax.
Mr Groves noted there is now bipartisan support for retaining negative gearing.
"This is very different from the elections in 2016 and 2019 and we are glad that this certainty is being offered to our markets, our businesses, investors and tenants," he said.
'Democracy sausages' instead of auctions on polling day
Mr Groves said real estate agents often suggest vendors avoid scheduling their auctions on polling day.
"Generally speaking people are pretty distracted on the day of the election casting their vote and participating in the great democracy that we live in and enjoying a democracy sausage or two on the Saturday," he said.
Mr Moore also said vendors will likely look to avoid scheduling auctions on polling day, as occurs when people are away over the Easter break or Anzac Day long weekend.
"Elections can provide a temporary headwind to market activity as people look to make sure their campaigns aren't falling on election day when everyone would be otherwise engaged. So that will provide a temporary headwind but I'd stress temporary."
Buyers and sellers are likely to opt for democracy sausages rather than auctions on polling day. Picture: Getty
While this weekend will be busy for auction activity, few auctions are scheduled to be held over Easter.
Mr Moore said vendors are looking to wrap up their campaigns before people go on holidays, amid the typically busier autumn selling season.
"It is normally quite busy as people look to get their campaigns wrapped up before public holidays and before the usually quieter winter period. This year that's going to coincide with the election as well."
After strong rises in housing prices during the pandemic, Mr Moore said overall market conditions were starting to slow.
"We've seen a lot of supply come online over the past six months which has helped ease how competitive the market is for buyers, and that's starting to show up in slowing price growth," he said.
The new PropTrack Home Price Index showed nationally dwelling prices grew by 0.34% in March, which Mr Moore noted was the slowest monthly growth since May 2020.
"That's been driven partly by the fact that market conditions have become less competitive and in large part because we're expecting to see the Reserve Bank raise interest rates later in the year."
Mr Groves said the housing market had naturally started to slow.
"We're already seeing the affordability constraint impact on markets, particularly the Sydney market and to a lesser extent the Hobart market, where growth rates based on the latest figures are not as substantial.
"I think overall most property markets throughout Australia, particularly in the Brisbane and Perth markets, will continue to be very strong throughout the lead up to the election."
Policies target first-home buyers and affordable housing
So far, the major election policies centre on first-home buyer schemes and affordable housing.
Mr Groves said there was nothing other than positive news for the housing market in the federal budget and Labor's policies announced so far.
"There's good news in terms of supporting people into their first home and there's good news about supporting investors into property by not having potential laws that would curb that sort of activity," he said.
"That's why REIA is really pleased to see that all of the property-related policy from both the major parties is supportive of maintaining a buoyant property market."
The major parties' property-related policies so far focus on first-home buyer schemes and affordable housing. Picture: Getty
The pre-election federal budget delivered short-term relief for households struggling with rising cost of living pressures.
The budget's major housing initiatives were an additional $2 billion to provide low-cost financing for community housing providers to deliver about 8000 more affordable homes and a significant expansion of schemes helping first-home buyers overcome the deposit hurdle.
The Home Guarantee Scheme program, which includes the original First Home Guarantee Scheme (formerly called the first home loan deposit scheme), has been expanded to 50,000 places a year for three years from 2022/23 and then 35,000 a year as an ongoing measure.
It includes a new Regional Home Guarantee providing 10,000 places per year - over three years - for first-home buyers and people who have not owned a home for five years, to buy a new home in a regional location with a deposit as low as 5%.
Labor in March announced its own plans for a regional first home buyer support scheme providing 10,000 places a year for first-home buyers in regional areas.
In May last year, Labor pledged to create a $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund if it wins the election. The fund would build 30,000 new social and affordable housing properties in its first five years.
Mr Moore said REA Group was supportive of measures to increase the availability of social housing, although he did not expect the election policies to have big impacts on the broader market.
"Similarly the Home Guarantee Scheme will help some first-home buyers get into the market sooner. We don't expect that policy will have huge impacts on the broader market."
Mr Groves said the industry was pleased changes to negative gearing were off the agenda.
"At the moment we do have a rental affordability problem in this country in every city and in the regions particularly," Mr Groves said.
"Anything that constrains supply such as messing with negative gearing and capital gains tax or discouraging further investment in property would have been absolutely catastrophic this time around."
Property industry groups have been calling for measures to boost housing supply to help address affordability problems.
Mr Groves said the REIA wanted action from all levels of government to address affordability, supply and issues like stamp duty, calling for a federal-led property summit.
"We are calling on whoever forms government after May that they make a better fist of dealing with the supply side of the affordability conundrum," Mr Groves said.
"The only real way that you're going to properly address the supply issue is to have a coordinated top-down approach and that's what we'll be holding the new government to account for during their next term."
The recent recommendations of a federal parliamentary inquiry into housing affordability and supply focused largely on increasing the supply of housing to improve affordability.

Which EcoXGear Bluetooth speaker is best?
EcoXGear has been making high-quality yet reasonably priced audio equipment since 2006. In the last few years, it has risen to prominence as a premium, USA-based producer of portable Bluetooth speakers. In particular, EcoXGear is known for its high-volume speakers that are water-resistant or waterproof. Some of its offerings can even float, which makes them perfect for a day at the pool, beach or lake.
The best EcoXGear Bluetooth speaker for most people is the EcoXGear EcoBoulder Max due to its high volume, consistent sound quality and above-average portability for the size.
What to know before you buy an EcoXGear Bluetooth speaker
They’re especially rugged
EcoXGear explicitly designs its Bluetooth speakers to withstand the rigors of a fun party. All of their most popular models are resistant to water and many are entirely waterproof and able to float. Their most robust speakers are built with additional layers of shock protection including layers of durable silicone cushioning.
Some, such as the EcoXGear EcoJourney, even offer waterproof storage compartments. The EcoJourney has room for a decent amount of water-sensitive belongings, while the novel EcoXGear EcoExtreme 2 is basically a waterproof, floating phone case with an integrated Bluetooth speaker and microphone. These are especially nice for trips on the river in rafts or canoes.
They are not ideal for audiophiles
Granted, you probably won’t be too worried about lossless Bluetooth transmission or high-fidelity playback while hanging out with friends at the pool. Nonetheless, keep in mind that EcoXGear speakers aren’t exactly made for high-fidelity critical listening. That’s not to say they sound bad. In fact, they sound great at high volumes, all things considered.
Unfortunately, the company doesn’t actually make clear what Bluetooth codecs they use. Research indicates that most EcoXGear speakers support the standard SBC codec and Apple’s AAC codec. While the AAC codec is hit or miss in terms of efficiency on Android devices, it actually delivers above-average sound quality, especially when compared with SBC.
What to look for in a quality EcoXGear Bluetooth speaker
Peak volume
It’s hard to find exact figures for most speakers’ objective peak output, but EcoXGear makes clear the peak wattage for all of its models. Their outputs range from just 5 watts for the tiny EcoPebble Lite all the way to an impressive 500 watts for the high-end SoundExtreme Soundbar.
Ingress Protection Code
IP ratings indicate how resistant to dust and water an electronic device is. The first number represents dust resistance and the second water resistance. For example, an IP67 rating means a device is completely sealed from dust and can withstand immersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.
Many EcoXGear Bluetooth speakers boast that IP67 rating, which means as long as you don’t intentionally hold them underwater, they’re remarkably safe in a pool or lake. Pay attention to each individual model you consider, though, as some are rated to only IP66, which only guarantees resistance to powerful water jets and means the device might malfunction if it ever ends up fully underwater.
Battery life
Some manufacturers play fast and loose with battery life claims, offering buyers the longest possible time frames without specifying volume. EcoXGear, on the other hand, is considerably more upfront. For example, it openly states the EcoBoulder Max runs for 50 hours at average listening volumes but only 10 hours at maximum volume. While the company doesn’t exactly specify what it means by average listening volume, it’s a testament to its honesty that it even makes such a distinction.
EcoXGear also clearly states how long each speaker takes to recharge, and that length of time is always less than the battery life at maximum volume. In practice, that means you could leave any EcoXGear speaker plugged in and play it as loud as you want indefinitely.
How much you can expect to spend on an EcoXGear Bluetooth speaker
The cheapest EcoXGear speakers run roughly $35, while the most premium options cost as much as $500.
EcoXGear Bluetooth speaker FAQ
Can you use the storage-equipped EcoXGear speakers as coolers?
A. No. While some models do offer waterproof, floating storage, filling them with ice and/or cold beverages would make them sink and run the risk of introducing condensation to the components.
Do EcoXGear speakers produce stereo or mono sound?
A. Each individual EcoXGear speaker produces monaural sound. If you invest in more than one, you can connect them wirelessly and configure them for stereo output.
What’s the best EcoXGear Bluetooth speaker to buy?
Top EcoXGear Bluetooth speaker
What you need to know: Plenty of volume coupled with advanced connectivity and waterproofing make this one of the most interesting party speakers.
What you’ll love: It’s large and in charge, able to get surprisingly loud while operating on a decently large battery. It combines an 8-inch full-range woofer and a 3-inch tweeter along with a variety of connections, including Bluetooth 5.0. Not only is the EcoBoulder Max rugged, loud and dependable, it’s even waterproof and engineered to float.
What you should consider: It is pretty bulky, and it’s not what you’d call cheap.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top EcoXGear Bluetooth speaker for the money
What you need to know: One of EcoXGear’s smallest offerings, the EcoEdge Plus works especially well when you use more than one at a time.
What you’ll love: The company’s EcoConnect function allows you to pair multiple EcoXGear speakers for wireless stereo playback, making the EcoEdge Plus ideal for traveling to sunny, sandy destinations and partying with friends and family. In addition to the ability to float, it has a built-in bottle opener and color-changing LED accent.
What you should consider: It isn’t incredibly loud and doesn’t offer much in the way of thumping bass.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Worth checking out
What you need to know: It’s a rugged sound bar intended for outdoor use on the dunes or even on the water.
What you’ll love: Unlike most others, the SoundExtreme is designed for mounting to a boat, ATV or another outdoor recreational vehicle. Its IP66 rating means it can withstand dust and water, which makes it perfect for high-intensity outdoor activities. We’ve highlighted the version with an internal, rechargeable battery, but if you want to save money, you can opt for the one with no battery. With up to 500 watts of output, it’s EcoXGear’s most powerful speaker.
What you should consider: While it’s loud and durable, it’s also considerably expensive.

Democratic senators at CNN Citizen event say they’re optimistic climate bill can pass this year
By Ella Nilsen, CNN
Democratic Sens. Martin Heinrich and Ed Markey on Thursday said they’re optimistic that members of their party can still come together in the Senate to strike a deal on a climate and economic tax package this year.
Heinrich said climate provisions have not been a sticking point with key moderate Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, even before Manchin came out in opposition to President Joe Biden‘s signature climate and economic legislation, known as Build Back Better, late last year. Talks between Manchin and the White House have recently restarted on a smaller package, which will include funding for climate efforts.
“We’re certainly not hovering near 100% but I think we’re well, well above 50% that we can get something together,” Heinrich of New Mexico told CNN’s Bill Weir at a Thursday CNN Citizen event focused on the evolution of the climate crisis. “That will be maybe not as expansive as many of us had hoped, but deeply meaningful on climate.”
Markey, who joined Heinrich and Weir at Thursday’s panel, said the clean energy industry is asking Congress for the same tax incentives that fossil fuel companies have long enjoyed. The panel was hosted by CNN and the George Washington University, which are partnering around the Ted Turner endowment for environmental journalism.
“For 100 years the oil and gas industry has had tax breaks from the American people,” the Massachusetts Democrat said. “Now when we talk about tax breaks for our tech companies, they call it socialism. And all we’re saying is if you have had tax breaks for 100 years for fossil fuels, give us some of that socialism for wind and solar and batteries, and we will bury that industry in a generation. We’ll deploy the all-electric vehicles, but we need those tax breaks on the books.”
Markey, who championed the last major climate bill in Congress, which failed in 2010, said the youth climate movement urging action gives him hope.
“The biggest difference is this: There’s now a movement,” he said. “Young people aged 18, 25, 30, 35, they want action. This is now an issue that has captured the passion of young people in our country. They worked hard in 2020 to elect a Democratic House and Senate.”

Formula 1 2022: ‘Got several piercings that I really can’t take out’, Hamilton reacts to no-jewellery rule
The ruling was included in the event notes for this week's Australian Grand Prix issued by new FIA race director Niels Wittich. It is not a new regulation, but reportedly follows some drivers being spotted wearing jewellery while in their cars.
Melbourne: Formula One drivers have been reminded that they are not allowed to wear jewellery while racing, prompting Lewis Hamilton to joke Friday he had piercings he can't take out.
The ruling was included in the event notes for this week's Australian Grand Prix issued by new FIA race director Niels Wittich, who is in the role at Albert Park following the sacking of Michael Masi.
It is not a new regulation, but reportedly follows some drivers being spotted wearing jewellery while in their cars.
"The wearing of jewellery in the form of body piercing or metal neck chains is prohibited during the competition and may therefore be checked before the start," the ruling states.
A number of drivers wear jewellery in the paddock, which is allowed, notably seven-time world champion Hamilton.
"I've got several piercings that I really can't take out, that not a lot of people know of," the Briton joked when asked about the ruling.
"But that's been the rule forever so nothing new," he added.
The ban was introduced in 2005 as a safety precaution to reduce the risk drivers face when they need to escape from a car following a crash.

First case of ‘Deltacron’ detected in Australia
“Deltacron” and another recombinant Covid infection have been detected in Australia.
In its weekly Covid report, NSW Health revealed the state has identified one Deltacron infection, a mix of Delta and Omicron BA.1, and a recombinant infection of Omicron’s sub-variants BA.1 and BA.2.
Recombinant viruses are when two separate virus strains merge to form a new, single, hybrid strain.
While these infections were reported for the first time on Friday, NSW Health said they were not identified this week.
Deltacron was detected for the first time at the Institut Pasteur in Paris in February and has since been found in the US, UK and Denmark.
While this hybrid strain sounds scary, scientists say it was expected and it is too early to tell what impact it could have.
University of NSW virologist Professor William Rawlinson told the Sydney Morning Herald people with recombinants have not shown worse signs so far.
“We need to keep a close eye on the relationship between these cases and severity of disease,” he said.
Trinity College biochemistry Professor Luke O‘Neill wrote for the Conversation in March that more work needs to be done to determine whether Deltacron will be “any better at evading immunity” and causing “more severe disease”.
“There are currently too few Deltacron cases to draw any conclusions on these issues,” he said.
“What we need are experiments to determine the properties of Deltacron – scientists have started that process and have been able to infect cells with it, so hopefully we’ll have answers in time.”
Two new mixed infections were also detected in NSW this week, which occurs when two separate virus sequences are detected at the same time in a specimen.
They were a mix of Omicron BA.1 and BA.2, though neither of the specimens were collected this week.
Seven mixed specimens had already been identified in NSW before this week, three with Delta and Omicron BA.1 and four with Omicron BA.1 and BA.2.
NSW recorded 20,396 new Covid cases on Friday, while eight people with the virus died.

The sun has set on Shahs of Sunset. ET has learned the Bravo series will not return for its 10th season.
Mike Shouhed, Reza Farahan, Golonesa “GG” Gharachedaghi and Mercedes “MJ” Javid were some of the original cast members when the series premiered in March 2012, chronicling the lives of Persian Americans living the life of luxury in Beverly Hills and Tehrangeles, or Little Persia. Bravo is not commenting on the cancelation.
The cancellation comes nearly two weeks after Shouhed was arrested in Los Angeles, California on March 27. He was booked in the early hours of March 28 before being released hours later on $50,000 bail, according to a booking sheet obtained by ET.
However, a source tells ET, "Mike's situation has nothing to do with" the show ending. Instead, ending the series has been a conversation for some time. According to the source, "It simply ran its course."
TMZ was first to report the news.
GG seemingly addressed the show's cancellation news on her Instagram Thursday afternoon with a sultry modeling shot, writing, "Relax yourselves... I'm here to stay! Coming soon... #IntimatelyGG."
So far, no other members of the reality TV show's original cast has spoken out about the show coming to an end.

U.S. Intelligence Officials Admit Spreading Disinformation to Demonize Public Against Russia | 7 April 2022 | The Biden administration has admitted to spreading disinformation about Russia, particularly with regards to their alleged use of chemical weapons, in order to demonize them among the masses. U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News that they lied about the potential use of chemical weapons in Russia. They claim they spread this disinformation knowingly to the American public in order to keep Russian President Vladimir Putin off-guard.

As the sports world is returning to normal, so too is the California League.
But as the 2022 season opens on Friday, some of it represents a “new normal” not a pre-pandemic normal.
While there was no 2020 season and the 2021 season was delayed until May, this season is starting in the traditional first week of April, although in previous years the season started on a Thursday.
But like last year, fans will notice that most series against an opponent will run Tuesday-Sunday, rather than three- and-four game series that were played before the pandemic, with the teams off on Mondays. The only time the schedule will not include six-game series is the opening weekend, July 4 (teams will play on Monday, July 4 then be off the next day), and a break that coincides with the major league All-Star break from July 18-21.
“When they were going back and forth to make schedules in September and October, they had us do a survey. They were still considering COVID restrictions,” Lake Elsinore Storm CEO/co-general manager Shaun Brock said. “For us, when we were given the opportunity, we actually love this setup. No. 1, it’s super easy for staffing.”
There are going to be times when teams are home back-to-back weeks, with a Monday off-day in between. And of the three Inland Empire teams, the Storm only does that twice, and the Inland Empire 66ers and Rancho Cucamonga Quakes only do that once each.
When Major League Baseball took over the minor leagues last year, changes were made. Some of them carry over to this year. Like last year, there is no Cal League All-Star Game and the playoffs are abbreviated. But the name is back. A year ago, the league was awkwardly known as the Low-A West League. The season is also 132 games, reduced from the pre-pandemic 140-game schedule.
When the season opened last year, teams were only at partial capacity for fans, but this year there are no attendance restrictions.
And that means not only will fans be able to go to games maskless but the experience will be different.
“Really it’s about returning to our full promotional experience,” Quakes vice president/GM Grant Riddle said. “We can have promotions on the field, which we didn’t have last year. We have a full menu. We can have our Family RV Family Feast night.”
Sixty-sixers GM Joe Hudson agreed.
“Now this year, we can do the Bernie (mascot) race. It seems like a simple thing, but we couldn’t do that last year,” Hudson said.
The Quakes had an issue last year when Gavin Lux bobbleheads didn’t arrive in time and a voucher was issued for fans to pick up their bobblehead when they arrived.
A similar situation arose for the 66ers, where vouchers were issued for several giveaways.
“Hopefully this year, we ordered so much of our stuff early, we feel like we’re in a pretty good spot,” Hudson said. “But for some food items, there is still a supply-chain issue.”
Hudson did say there are no supply issues with hot dogs or beer, however.
The lifting of COVID restrictions will help attendance, but so will something else: the return of groups. A year ago, even as fans returned to games, community groups were generally not gathering to attend a minor league baseball game together. But they are now.
But for the Storm, Brock said a pandemic lesson learned last year was that more fans is not necessarily better. So the number of fans will be limited to closer to 5,000 rather than the 6,500 or more they previously allowed for the most popular games.
“It helps a lot of our processes, F and B (food and beverage),” Brock said. “Our per cap (food and beverage per person) was almost double last year. We are able to better take care of people and they can get what they want. We learned a lot from that.”
The Storm has also changed its ticket pricing so that every seat is $8 on Tuesday and Wednesday, $12 on Thursday and Sunday and $16 on Friday and Saturday.
The Quakes, who open the season at Visalia on Friday before their home opener against the 66ers on Tuesday, return 19 players from last year’s roster. That includes the Dodgers’ top-ranked prospect, catcher Diego Cartaya (the No. 28 prospect in MLB), who appeared in 31 games for the Quakes last year, batting .298 with 10 home runs.
Other top prospects for the Quakes include outfielder Jose Ramos (the Dodgers’ No. 14 prospect), shortstop Alex De Jesus (No. 20) and outfielder Jake Vogel (No. 29).
The 66ers, who open at home against the Storm on Friday, will feature a myriad of the Angels’ top prospects, including shortstop Arol Vera (No. 3), catcher Edgar Quero (No. 9), shortstop Adrian Placencia (No. 10), outfielder Alexander Ramirez (No. 12), left-hander Mason Albright (No. 14), right-hander Alejandro Hidalgo (No. 19), shortstop Werner Blakely (No. 24), and outfielder D’Shawn Knowles (No. 30).
Vera, Quero, Ramirez, and Knowles all finished their 2021 seasons with the 66ers. Vera, Placencia and Blakely are all listed as shortstops by mlb.com and it was not immediately clear which other positions the trio might play this year.
Lake Elsinore, which has its home opener on Tuesday against Visalia, begins the season with three of the San Diego Padres’ top 18 prospects: outfielder James Wood (No. 5), shortstop Jackson Merrill (No. 6) and infielder Max Ferguson (No. 18). The Storm roster also includes reliever Hazahel Quijada, a former San Gorgonio High and UC Riverside pitcher who appeared in 16 games for the Storm last year.

DALLAS (AP) — Auston Matthews broke the Toronto season goals record with Nos. 55 and 56, the second 2:10 into overtime to give the Maple Leafs a 4-3 victory over the Dallas Stars on Thursday night.
Matthews, who had tied Rick Vaive’s 40-year-old mark of 54 goals two games earlier, broke that with his one-timer from the bottom of the circle to the left of goalie Scott Wedgewood after taking a pass back from Mark Giordano on a power play for a 2-1 lead with 1:02 left in the second period.
The winner came when he took a pass from William Nylander and was able to swipe the puck around Wedgewood in overtime.
The 24-year-old from Arizona, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft, emphatically pumped his right arm when the puck got through a narrow gap between the goalie and the post on the record-setting 55th goal in the second period.
Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen swiped the puck away, but the record-breaker was retrieved and tossed to the Maple Leafs bench by Mitchell Marner.
Dallas tied it at 2 with 14:17 left on a laser shot by John Klingberg on a pass from Joe Pavelski. The Maple Leafs went ahead 3-2 on Morgan Rielly's goal just less than five minutes later, but Pavelski tied it again on his 26th goal with 2:23 left in regulation.
Tyler Seguin scored his 21st goal for the Stars, who remained in the Western Conference's second wild-card spot through 70 games with 84 points — two points ahead of idle Vegas and with two games still in hand. Wild-card leader Nashville won earlier Thursday and has 86 points in 70 games.
Toronto is second in the Atlantic Division with 98 points in 71 games.
Matthews tied Vaive at 54 with three goals on Monday night at Tampa Bay, his fourth hat trick this season. He had three assists but no goals on eight shots at Florida the following night. No. 55 came on his 10th shot against the Stars. He won the game on his 12th shot.
Toronto got its first goal of the night during a sequence when Stars wing Marian Studenic slid into Jack Campbell, knocking the net behind the Maple Leafs goalie out of place. But play was never stopped and Nylander got his 28th goal of the season on a nifty pass back from Ilya Mikheyev.
Campbell stopped 15 shots.
Wedgewood had 37 saves, including two when he was sprawled out face-first in front of the net — one time with the puck under his stomach when play was finally stopped, and another with the glove on his fully extended left arm covering it up.
UP NEXT
Toronto: After going 3-0-1 on their trip, the Maple Leafs play Montreal in the first of three consecutive home games.
Dallas: The Stars wrap up a three-game homestand Saturday against New Jersey.

Ukraine war: 'I feel pretty damn lucky to be here' - British journalist Benjamin Hall reveals he lost half a leg and a foot in bombing that killed two colleagues
A British journalist has revealed he lost half a leg and his other foot in a Russian attack that killed two of his colleagues.
Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall was working with cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshinova when their vehicle was hit by artillery shelling from Russian troops near Kyiv on 16 March.
Mr Zakrzewski and Ms Kuvshinova - who had been working as a consultant for the channel - both died in the attack.
As well as losing a limb, Mr Hall lost most of his hearing and the vision in one eye.
Putin spokesman's admission prompts shock - follow live updates
Speaking for the first time since the assault, Mr Hall tweeted: "To sum it up, I've lost half a leg on one side and a foot on the other.
"One hand is being put together, one eye is no longer working, and my hearing is pretty blown... but all in all I feel pretty damn lucky to be here - and it is the people who got me here who are amazing!"
He posted an image of himself sitting in a hospital bed, wearing bandages and an eye patch as he explained the nature of his injuries.
Mr Hall also paid tribute to his former colleagues.
"Its been over three weeks since the attack in Ukraine and I wanted to start sharing it all," he said.
"But first I need to pay tribute to my colleagues Pierre and Sasha who didn't make it that day. Pierre and I travelled the world together, working was his joy and his joy was infectious. RIP."
Mr Hall was rushed to hospital in Ukraine but was later able to leave the country.
Ukraine news website kp.ua reported Mr Zakrzewski and Ms Kuvshinova died "as a result of artillery shelling by Russian troops in the north-eastern part of the village of Gorenka".

Their deaths came just days after US filmmaker Brent Renaud was killed in Ukraine after Russian forces opened fire on his vehicle.
The 50-year-old, from Arkansas, was gathering material for a report about refugees when his vehicle was hit at a checkpoint in Irpin, just outside Kyiv.
Meanwhile, Sky News chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay was shot and wounded near Kyiv last month while travelling to the town of Bucha.
Camera operator Richie Mockler took two rounds to his body armour in the incident.

Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa referenced a legendary pop culture moment at the 2022 Grammy’s and fans are now realizing just how iconic it was. The two music stars presented at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards in matching Versace gowns with gold accents and stole the show with a nod to two Pop icons.
On Sunday, April 3, Dua Lipa joined collaborator Megan Thee Stallion on stage in Las Vegas to present the award for ‘Best New Artist,’ and the two ended up twinning. Fans share their excitement on social media about how the two artists came out in matching Versace gowns. (insert Spider man meme here)
What many fans just realized is that the moment referenced the 1998 Video Music Awards when Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey came out matching to make light of their alleged feud. Check out the video from the 1998 MTV VMA’s below:
Dua Lipa and Megan Thee Stallion used their onstage moment to pay homage to two of music’s greatest artists.
The two artists recently released their latest single, “Sweetest Pie” in what appeared to be an unlikely but ideal collaboration. The song is already doing numbers, reaching No. 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A Corpus Christi man says his two vehicles and several electronic appliances were damaged after an 18-wheeler snagged power lines near his home on Bluntzer Street mid-November 2021. Joe Marroquin said he was inside his home when he heard a loud bang, his home shook and the power went out.
"The driver made a mistake. He got tangled up there, he had the chance to back up," Marroquin said. "He left the scene of the accident. We called the police and filed a report."
Corpus Christi spokesperson Lt. Michael Pena said it appears that in this case, the driver got lost and took a wrong turn.
"From talking to the reporting, (the truck) ended up on a dead end street," Lt. Pena said. "It's understandable, but you're not typically going to see an 18-wheeler in a residential area."
Lt. Pena said it's important to report and gather as much evidence as possible in situations like these.
"When the officer arrives you want to give as much information as possible. If you have description of the vehicle, description of the driver, a license plate, that's always helpful," Lt. Pena said.
The Marroquin's surveillance cameras were able to capture the moment the semi-truck drove by their home, taking down the power lines before coming to a stop and then leaving the scene. In the meantime, Marroquin is left wondering who will pay for the damages left behind.
"If it was us doing damage to their vehicle or anybody else, they'd be wanting for us to make good," Marroquin said. "I don't see why they can't make good."
KRIS 6 News reached out to the Lange Truck Line company and was referred to their insurance company, but calls went unanswered.
